Tales of Berseria offers great in-game tutorials that covers most of the basics of gameplay, but the following will either offer additional insight into the gameplay features in Berseria or information not well covered within the game itself.
Each town has a General Store and Inn, unless the town is abandoned or empty due to story events.
General Stores sell consumable items (gels and bottles), random weapons and equipment (within a rarity range), and ingredients for cooking recipes. By spending gald at any merchant, either for purchasing items or upgrading equipment, you can increase the Store Level, which will offer rewards and also increase the number of items available at the stores. While all stores sell the same consumables and ingredients, the weapons and equipment sold are based on the individual store, your progression in the story, and are randomly selected from set rarity range (6 = Flouric equipment / 18 = Adamantine equipment). To change the randomly selected weapons and equipment being sold within the set rarity range, simply fight three battles on any field and return to any shop for a new selection.
The following is a list of the amount of gald required for each Store Level and the reward obtained:
|3||~20,000||Silky Touch Garment||4%|
|10||~1,000,000||Helmut Schmidt Sash||18%|
Inns will allow you to rest, at the expensive of gald to heal your party and remove any effects, such as those from a Dark Bottle.
Skits are optional conversations between your allies that can occur after progressing the story or by meeting a certain condition. When you unlock the ability to view a skit, the name of the skit and the icon of a person will appear in the bottom right of the screen. To watch the skit, simply press Triangle to trigger the scene.
Please see the Skits List for more information on unlocking each skit in the game.
Sub-Events are additional dialogue events with NPCs that may or may not be part of a sidequest. These events are identified by a green exclamation point bubble over an NPCs head, instead of the normal chat bubbles, and often just add additional insight into the game's events. That being said, a few sub-events will unlock additional game content, such as the Class 4 Zones, and some must be viewed to complete the Sidequests for each character's backstory.
During the story events in Titania, after the Prologue, Seres mentions Katz Spirits in passing and later a katz will mention they can be used to unlock Katz Boxes throughout the world.
Note that Katz Spirits respawn each time you enter an area, so there's no need to make sure you get every single one, and there's one Katz Box in every town, field, and dungeon. Katz Boxes do NOT contain a fixed item, rather each (1st, 3rd, 5th, etc) box will grant a fashion item and every (2nd, 4th, 6th, etc) box will release a katz. This means that skipping a Katz Box is pointless, as the next box will reward you with the same item you'd have obtained from the previous one.
There are three types of treasure chests in the game:
- Bronze = Consumables, Materials, and Gald
- Silver = Basic Weapons and Equipment
- Gold = Advanced Equipment and Rings
Note that the first time you open a chest the item is fixed, but chests have a chance of being refilled upon returning to an area with a random item.
Herbs are consumable items that can be used to permanently increase the stats of any of your characters. These can be found in field and dungeons and will randomly respawn when there are less then 50 available across all maps.
Cooking recipes allows you to create meals that offer benefits in the next battle, provided you trigger a certain condition. Benefits can be anything from reviving a KO'd ally to provided additional defensive stats for a duration of the battle, while trigger conditions can be anything from an ally's HP dropping below a certain percent to 120 seconds of combat. In addition to the recipe's base benefits, each ally has additional benefits that can added when cooking a meal, based on their Cooking Level.
You can set allies to Auto-Cook a meal after each battle, provided you have the proper ingredients, to cut down on how often you need to open the Main Menu. Note that this is great for increasing your allies Cooking Level, provided you watch the number of remaining dishes you can cook in the bottom right of the field HUD.
Please see the Cooking Skills for more information on ally benefits.
Expeditions allow you to use your additional ship to scout the outer islands for rewards. Each voyage takes 30 minutes, no matter the distance, and each time you send the ship out it will encounter three battles. The outcome of the battles determines the rewards and experience you receive for that voyage. In addition to the rewards found, the ship may also find valuable treasures that grant exploration skills that will help with future voyages. In other words, Expeditions are a fun mini-game you want to constantly have running to earn rewards as you progress through the story.
Tales of Berseria covers the basics of equipment, including skills and enhancements, but the following offers some advanced information on those features, as well as the basics of equipment in easy to understand terms.
All equipment, from weapons and accessories to armor and shoes, comes with a fixed skill that can be permanently learned by your allies. In order to learn a skill on a piece of equipment, the character must be equipped with the item at the end of a battle for the battle grade to apply to the overall "cost" of learning a skill. Once mastered, the benefit from the skill will apply to your character even when the equipment isn't equipped and is doubled when the equipment is equipped.
For example: If you want to master the Attack +15 on Velvet's Unnamed Blade, she must have the blade equipped at the end of battle. The grade earned in that battle, let's say 38 grade, will be added to your current progress on the Unnamed Blade (38 out of 900). Once you've earned a total of 900 grade through combat, the skill will be mastered and the character will gain Attack +15 when the Unnamed Blade isn't equipped and Attack +30 when it is.
Random Skills are similar to Master Skills, but can't be learned and are randomly generated on a piece of equipment when you obtain it. Additionally, unlike Master Skills, a piece of equipment can have more than one random skill provided you've gained the potentites that unlock this.
After unlocking the ability to enhance gear through upgrading or dismantling, you'll be able to increase the base stats of your weapons and equipment by visiting any store. Note that upgrading your equipment requires certain number of fragments (based on rarity) and equipment type and gald for each upgrade. On the flip side, dismantling gear provides you with upgrade materials at no gald cost.
The following is a list of the materials and gald requirement for each upgrade:
|Lvl||Base Material||Basic Equip. Material||Advanced Equip. Material||Gald|
|1||Rarity Fragment / Scrap (x1)||-||-||x0.1|
|2||Rarity Fragment / Scrap (x2)||-||-||x0.2|
|3||Rarity Fragment / Scrap (x3)||Coarse Tempering Powder (x1)||Odorless Fluid (x5)||x0.4|
|4||Rarity Fragment / Scrap (x4)||Coarse Tempering Powder (x2)||Balmy Fluid (x10)||x0.8|
|5||Rarity Fragment / Scrap (x6)||Coarse Tempering Powder (x4)||Coarse Tempering Powder (x10)||x1|
|6||Rarity Fragment / Scrap (x8)||Standard Tempering Powder (x1)||Mellow Fluid (x10)||x2|
|7||Rarity Fragment / Scrap (x10)||Standard Tempering Powder (x2)||Standard Tempering Powder (x10)||x4|
|8||Rarity Fragment / Scrap (x12)||Standard Tempering Powder (x4)||Pungent Fluid (x10)||x6|
|9||Rarity Fragment / Scrap (x14)||Fine Tempering Powder (x2)||Fine Tempering Powder (x10)||x12|
|10||Rarity Fragment / Scrap (x16)||Fine Tempering Powder (x4)||Funky Fluid (x10)||x40|
The following is a list of the materials gained for dismantling equipment at each level:
|0||Rarity Fragment / Scrap (x1)||-|
|1||Rarity Fragment / Scrap (x2)||Coarse Tempering Powder (x1)|
|2||Rarity Fragment / Scrap (x3)||Coarse Tempering Powder (x2)|
|3||Rarity Fragment / Scrap (x4)||Coarse Tempering Powder (x3)|
|4||Rarity Fragment / Scrap (x5)||Standard Tempering Powder (x1)|
|5||Rarity Fragment / Scrap (x6)||Standard Tempering Powder (x2)|
|6||Rarity Fragment / Scrap (x7)||Standard Tempering Powder (x3)|
|7||Rarity Fragment / Scrap (x8)||Fine Tempering Powder (x1)|
|8||Rarity Fragment / Scrap (x9)||Fine Tempering Powder (x2)|
|9||Rarity Fragment / Scrap (x10)||Fine Tempering Powder (x3)|
|10||Rarity Fragment / Scrap (x11)||Sovereign Acerite (x1)|
In addition, you can also gain "fluid" type materials based on the random skills attached to each piece of equipment, the number of random skills for each type of fluid, and the rank of the random skill. For example: If you have 2 "Rank 1" random skills you will obtain 2 Balmy Fluid. If you have a "Rank 1" random skill and a "Rank 3" random skill, you'll obtain a Balmy Fluid and a Pungent Fluid.
Titles are a unique piece of "equipment" that you can equip to give additional effects to your characters. Each character has their own unique titles that they can earn by meeting certain conditions and each title can be ranked up by meeting addition conditions, usually with the same type of criteria. For example, if a title is earned by stunning 50 enemies, the next rank up for that title will also be for stunning enemies (500).
The majority of Tales of Berseria's gameplay revolves around combat against field enemies and bosses throughout the entire story. The following will cover the basics of combat, focusing on changes between the previous Tales games.
In previous Tales games the player-controlled character was locked to a 2D plane of movement within a 3D environment, requiring holding an additional button would allow free-run to evade for a short period at the cost of CC. In Berseria, the 2D plane of movement has been removed in favor of constant free-run ability, which allows you to evade attacks easily and line-up up character's attacks with more efficiency. This means that you'll need to master moving in combat while rotating the camera to spot enemies that may attack from behind.
Every playable character has a set pool of Health Points (HP) that is slowly diminished in combat by damage from enemies. If a character is reduced to zero HP they will be KO'd and be unusable in battle until revived or until the end of combat, at which point all KO'd characters are restored to 1 HP. HP can be restores by eating consumable gels, in or out of battle, while healing artes can be used in battle to keep a healthy pool of HP for characters on the field.
There are three types of attacks: Martial, Hidden, and Malak artes with all characters using 2 of the 3 available arte styles.
- Martial Artes: These attacks are melee attacks, with damage based on the character's Attack and the enemy's Defense.
- Hidden Artes: More powerful melee artes that consume more SG, with damage based on the character's Attack and Arte Attack and the enemy's Defense and Arte Defense.
- Malak Artes: Spells that can be offensive or defensive and require time to cast, with damage based on the character's Arte Attack and the enemy's Arte Defense.
Every character has their own unique set of artes, which you can program to the controller buttons via the arte tree. Non-controlled characters will use any artes turned On in their artes table, accessed via the Artes tab in the main menu or during combat. Using artes that chain well together to exploit an enemy's weakness, or hitting all weak points, will help you defeat enemies quickly with a power hits combo.
The most important part of combat is damage mitigation through guarding and quickstepping to avoid attacks. While not attacking, hold L1 to guard against attacks and take less damage or use the Left Analog to quickstep in any direction. Properly evaded attacks will result in a soul appearing on the field, which can be collected if the character is carrying less than 5 souls, and will also allow you to quickly get in counterattacks.
As you progress through the game you'll unlock charge abilities when you guard for an extended period of time:
- Sharpshooter's Ventite - Guard for 1 second to double the chance of inflicting a status ailment on the next attack
- Paladin's Ventite - Guard for 1.5 seconds to regain 30 SG
- Guardbreaker's Ventite - Guard for 2 seconds to increase the chance of inflicting a status ailment on the next attack, which can't be blocked
The Soul Gauge (SG) represents a character's attacking ability, with a set amount of the SG consumed for each arte performed in combat. At the beginning of combat you'll have access to 3 Souls, with each soul containing 30 SG energy, though additional souls can be obtained during combat, with a maximum of 5 souls being available at one time.
Soul management rules:
- Gain an additional soul when an enemy receives a status ailment
- Gain an additional soul when an enemy is defeated
- Gain an additional soul when a Mystic Arte is performed
- Lose a soul when a status ailment is received
In addition, souls are dropped on the field when you evade an enemy attack just before it hits by quickstepping or upon a character's death.
Unlike previous games, which used a similar system to determine the number of attacks available, Berseria allows a character to attack even when the SG bar is diminished. Attacking with empty SG results in attacks being blocked or counterattacked more frequently, meaning your attacks are less effective.
When the character gains 3 or more souls they can perform a Break Soul ability, which consumes one soul in order to ignore chain limits and heal HP and status ailments. Note that using a Break Soul will result in the enemy gaining an additional soul and each character has a different type of Break Soul ability.
The Blast Gauge (BG) is a feature from Tales of Zestiria, but rather than determining the use of armatization it allows the characters to unleash hidden abilities and perform Mystic Artes. At the start of battle each character regains a small amount of the BG based on the overall usage of their martial/hidden/malak artes, an incentive to use all artes regularly, and can earned in combat by performing Break Souls.
When the Blast Gauge is reaches 3, any character with a Mystic Arte can perform an ultimate attack by holding L2 during a combo. Note that the combo's attacks must not be blocked by the enemy and the use of a Mystic Arte will consume 3 BG.
After obtaining the Daredevil's Ventite there is a chance of encountering Dire Foes after an initial battle, based on the amount of grade obtained and the number of consecutive battles on a single map. These powerful enemies always spawn after an initial fight and are accompanied by two invincible standard-type enemies, with future encounters with the same Dire Foe becoming harder each time you defeat it.
Why engage these enemies? They offer a large amount of grade that will quickly allow you Master gear and each has a trophy attached to it.
After reaching a certain point in the game you'll be informed of special enemies that appear on different maps. Code Red Hunt enemies are one-time bounty hunts that can be defeated for key items and gald, as well as granting special actions like unlocking Chaos Mode or showing the number of un-opened chests on the map.
Note that I will be doing a whole Video Playthrough of this, identical to the text here, which you can watch here:
After watching the opening, start a new game and browse through the Options to change anything you aren't happy with. I suggest changing the audio settings to TV only rather than TV and controller mic to preserve the controller's battery, as it is wholly unneeded.
|Treasures||[_] Apple Gel|
|[_] Resistance Ring|
|Skits||[_] Dinner Plans|
After the initial cutscene, turn around and speak with Laphicet twice and then check the house for any shining spots in the kitchen or the attic.
Shining locations are random gathering points that sometimes appear on the map. They often provide you with common items, such as ingredients or salvage, but they are worth keeping an eye out for as they sometimes offer rare items.
Exit the house for a quick tutorial on the use of the mini-map, area map, and current objective list and then examine the nearby gravestones. The gravestones offer insight into the relationship between Velvet and Arthur, as well as the condition of Celica during her death in the initial cutscene. You can now make your way north to the center of town to activate the skit Dinner Plans.
Head north and speak to the man with an exclamation point over his head for some insight into the events that occurred during the opening of the game and a strange disease known as "daemonblight". The child to the northeast asks about Laphicet's health, indicating that Laphicet has a chronic illness, and then check the southwest corner of town to find a chest with an Apple Gel. Make sure to grab the Resistance Ring from the chest next to the General Store, which you can equip to Velvet immediately, and then exit town to the northwest.
The Morgana Woods isn't your objective destination and you can't explore beyond the first area, but you can speak to the group of villagers near the tree for an event. Return to town and head east, speaking with the old woman for another event about Empyreans, and then exit to the east to reach the Tranquil Woods.
While not all event bubbles have crucial information, they always offer insight into the character's world.
|Treasures||[_] Apple Gel|
|Skits||[_] The Prickleboars' Future|
|[_] Prickleboars Hunted!*|
|[_] The Shrine on the Cape*|
|[_] After the Hunt...|
Follow the path north until you reach the split and then head south to encounter your first Prickleboar, activating the Battle Tutorial. The jest of the tutorial is that performing artes to attack enemies will cost a certain amount of points from a character's Soul Gauge (SG) and that in order to increase your SG, thereby increasing the maximum amount of attacks you can perform in a combo, you must inflict status ailments on enemies. Watch the skit The Prickleboars' Future after the first encounter and then head east for another encounter near a chest with an Apple Gel.
Please see Battle Basics for additional information on the Soul Gauge and using Artes.
Exit east and defeat the final group of Prickleboars to automatically trigger the skit Prickleboars Hunted! and then check the giant hole in the temple ruins for the skit The Shrine on the Cape.
Please not that some skits play automatically and their names do not appear in the bottom right of the screen. These skits will be marked with a * in the table of contents at the top of each section to avoid confusion over missing a skit trigger.
Backtrack through the woods until you trigger a scene, which forces you into a fight with 5 Prickleboars, and then open the battle menu and set Searing Edge as an arte to Velvet's arte tree. This will allow you to exploit the enemy's weakness, performing a "Power Hit", that will do additional damage vs. standard damage. After another cutscene, watch the skit After the Hunt... and then return to town.
|Skits||[_] At the Family Grave*||[_] After All, We're Family*|
|[_] Laphi's Request*||[_] A Memory of Princessias|
|[_] Velvet's Dream*||[_] Appleboo|
Head to the center of town for another cutscene to gain Apple Gel x3 and then speak with Niko and the dogs for additional dialogue. Return to Velvet's house for the skit At the Family Grave and then enter inside for another scene with Laphicet. After setting Laphi down in bed, examine the two books on the table for some more funny dialogue and then head over to the stove to light it for the skit Lahi's Request. You can now head up the ladder to grab the curry spice for a skit Velvet's Dream, speak with Laphicet for another skit After All, We're Family, and then return to the kitchen and start preparing the meal near the stove.
Return to town in the morning for another scene with the General Store owner and then speak with Niko and the two villagers in town before returning to the Tranquil Woods.
Head toward the cape until you trigger a scene and then watch the skits A Memory of Princessias and Appleboo before making your way to the cape. After another scene you'll be forced into a fight with a daemon, though it'll end rather quickly since you can't do any damage to the Blude Wolf. When you awake, exit Velvet's house and immediately run through town to return to the Tranquil Woods. You can now make your way to the cape one last time for another cutscene and then easily defeat the enemies to complete the Prologue.
|Treasures||[_] Battle Boots||[_] Void Ring|
|[_] Sage||[_] 320 Gald|
|[_] Life Bottle||[_] Verbena|
|Skits||[_] Signs of an Intruder*|
|[_] Selecting Equipment*|
|[_] Odd Souls*|
|[_] A Powerful Witch?|
|[_] The Daemon Swordsman|
Returning to the present, Seres enters the pit that's held Velvet prisoner for all this time and issues a challenge.
Boss: Seres (HP: 2200) - Unknown
This battle acts as a tutorial and isn't difficult, even on Hard, as Seres uses slow attacks that are easy to avoid or guard. It's best to perform a long combo of attacks against Seres until you run out of SG and then guard to block incoming damage while regaining your SG. Keep attacking and guarding, playing aggressively, and it's unlikely that Seres will get in more than a few attacks before you deplete your health.
Drops: Prodigy's Glacite
|Seres uses the same moveset as the seraph Lailah, which has lead to speculation that she was reborn as Lailah in the future - though this seems unlikely.|
After the cutscene, exit through the only door and follow the linear path upstairs until you trigger the skit Signs of an Intruder and then open the nearby chest for the skit Selecting Equipment to obtain your equipment and a Rope. Make quick work of the abbey orderly that attacks to trigger another scene and then head northwest to the save point. A few steps to the southwest and you'll come across a floating ball of mana, triggering the skit Odd Souls which mentions collecting them. Don't worry too much about grabbing every single one you see, as they respawn whenever you reload or change zones, meaning you can farm them in large groups later in the game.
Head upstairs for another scene before heading south toward the objective marker and then defeat the two exorcists in your way to trigger another scene.
|A prisoner mentions a pirate named Van Aifread. Aifread is a legendary pirate that is mentioned or appears throughout the Tales games and in Tales of Zesteria the field "Aifread's Hunting Ground" is named after him.|
After the cutscene, head northeast to speak with the goblin and then check the last cell on the northwest branch to find a chest with Battle Boots. Exit the cell block for a funny scene and watch the skit A Powerful Witch? that follows and then enter the storage room to the south to collect some Sage. You can now enter the eastern cell block and head to the last cell on the northern branch for a chest containing a Life Bottle. Exit the cell block and head northeast to make your way upstairs and then open the nearby chest for a Void Ring.
Boss: Red-Eyed Swordsman (HP: 2843) - Unknown
The unknown swordsman fights similarly to Seres, with slow 1-2 strike combos and plenty of time in between to attack or guard. The addition of Seres to your party makes for an easy fight that will end when they swordsman reaches 50% health.
Drops: Sharpshooter's Ventite
After the fight, watch the skit The Daemon Swordsman before you continue south and then head through the exit to the northwest. Approach the objective marker for a scene and defeat the three guards and then climb the ladder up and open the chest with 320 Gald. At the top of the tower you'll trigger another scene that teleports you to the outer path of the prison, where you'll find a Verbena, so save and then return into the prison. You can now follow the linear path until you reach the front of the prison and trigger another scene.
Boss: Oscar (HP: 11501) - Person
Oscar is the first real opponent you'll have encountered so far, with fast attacks and decent combos that can tear through your HP quickly if unguarded. Focus on eliminating the two malakhim first, since they are fairly weak and will only distract you while beating on Oscar. Once you only have Oscar to deal with, use non-elemental attacks to chain your attacks together before backing off when your SG is low. Watch out for Oscar's Tiger's Fang attack, which will increase his Attack, and back off to give Seres time to heal you if your health is low.
Drops: Vampire's Glacite
|The House of Dragonia is a noble lineage that goes on to found Pendrago and the Rolance Empire through Oscar's descendant, Earl Pen Dragonia.|
Boss: Drake (HP: 5936) - Dragon
At the start of the fight you'll gain the ability to perform Break Souls, which grants the character a special ability at the cost of a soul. In Velvet's case, Break Souls allows her to theronize her arm and do massive damage with the daemon claw before performing a finisher based on the enemy category (Dragon).
While it is tempting to use Break Souls straight away, the loss of the soul will leave you with very little SG to perform standard attacks. Bait the Drake into attacking with his Frontal Breath and Kick attacks and quickstep to the side as the attack nearly hits you. If timed correctly a soul should appear on the field, which you can collect to gain another soul and then perform a Break Souls. If you're having issue with the timing, bait the Drake to attack and then strike his side and back as he recovers in the hopes of stunning him.
When the Drake gets low health it'll start to use Whirlwind and a Range Breath attack that are much deadlier. The Whirlwind attack is pretty deadly is you're caught in it, so try to avoid standing at his front and use any additional souls you have to finish him quickly.
|Treasures||[_] 320 Gald||[_] Life Bottle|
|[_] Rosemary||[_] Ten Gallon Hat|
|Skits||[_] Washed Ashore*|
|[_] The Boy Malak's Healing Artes|
|[_] The Witch's Vagaries|
|[_] Prisoners' Tales*|
When you awake you'll automatically be thrust into a fight with a Werewolf and Eagle, with Velvet as the only combatant... lazy people! The werewolf is weak to fire, so start a combo with Searing Edge to exploit the weakness and finish it off quickly and then focus on the eagle. Remember that you'll always begin a fight with 3 souls and that Break Souls will heal you slightly, so feel free to use it regularly in battle.
After the automatic skit Washed Ashore, watch the skits The Boy Malak's Healing Artes and The Witch's Vagaries and then open the chest nearby for 320 Gald. Make sure to save to avoid having to fight Oscar and the Drake again and then exit to the next field.
Figahl Icecaps is the first field map with standard encounter, which occur any time you come into contact with the enemies on the field. While enemies generally easy to avoid, doing so will result in a weak party that can make future encounters very difficult. Head north until the area open ups and check the cliff to the west for some Rosemary and then continue for a scene with Rokurou and Magilou. Make sure to turn around head south along the upper level for a chest with a Life Bottle and return north until you trigger the skit Prisoners' Tales and then continue for another scene to gain the Ten Gallon Hat.
A single Katz Box appears on each of the maps in the game, Field/Dungeon and Towns, and each one you open will cost a certain amount of Katz Spirits. Katz Boxes don't hold a specific reward item or katz and rewards are based on the order you in which you open them, with every other box granting a reward (1, 3, etc). This means that there's no point in skipping a katz box because it doesn't have an item, as the next one also won't.
Head north to encounter the mysterious malak again, who returns the Compass he stole before running off, and then head down the eastern path. Turn around when the path opens up to climb the vines and collect some Sage and then continue northeast to reach Hellawes.
|Treasures||[_] Life Bottle||[_] Life Bottle||[_] Blood Blade|
|[_] 480 Gald||[_] Lavender||[_] Square Glasses|
|[_] Fire Ring||[_] Amber Garment||[_] Verbena|
|[_] Amber Fragment||[_] Jacketless Outfit (Rokurou)|
|Skits||[_] Through the Storehouse*|
|[_] Finding the Shipping Guild*|
|[_] Magilou Departs*|
|[_] Private Training*|
After the automatic skit Through the Storehouse, check the warehouse for a Life Bottle and 480 Gald and then exit the building and search the southeast corner of the docks for a chest with a Fire Ring. In the middle of the docks area, eavesdrop on the children idolizing Artorius and the exorcists and then check the northern end of the docks for another Life Bottle.
Enter the center of town and pass behind the buildings to the north to find some Lavender and then head up the ladder. Follow the ledge and drop down behind one of the buildings, after passing over the archway, to find an Amber Garment near the water and then climb back up and continue along the ledges to a dead end with a Blood Blade. You can now drop to the ground near the dock entrance and head to the objective marker to trigger the skit Finding the Shipping Guild before speaking with the guild members.
Check the alcove to the left of the shipping guild to find a Katz Box with the Square Glasses and then head south and check the area to the right of the arch for a Verbena. Cross the street as you pass under the arch and head behind the inn for another chest with an Amber Fragment and then enter the tavern across from the inn to speak with a man about Lady Teresa.
Speak with Rokurou outside the Weapon Shop to trigger the skit Magilou Departs and then head south toward the yak for some funny dialogue. Make sure to enter the inn and rest for the skit Private Training with Rokurou to obtain the Jacketless Outfit (Rokurou), which is missable, and then listen to the three remaining event bubbles in the plaza before returning to the docks. Speak with the sailor in the northeast for additional information on flamestone and then enter the warehouse and head back to Figahl Icecaps.
|Treasures||[_] Life Bottle||[_] Saffron|

|Skits||[_] Two Daemons in the Cold||[_] Abbey Inspector on Patrol|
|[_] Broiling Hatred*||[_] No More Taste*|
|[_] The Apple's Taste*||[_] Swords and Spirits|
Head toward Hellawes' main gate, which is no longer blocked off, and watch the skit Two Daemons in the Cold when it pops up. Search the small dead end in the northeast for a Life Bottle and then cross to the northwest and check the small batch of Princessia flowers for a flashback and the skit Broiling Hatred. You can now head south toward the objective marker to grab the Chamomile to the northeast of town entrance, near the frozen slide, and then enter the town of Beardsley.
After the cutscene and skit The Apple's Taste, watch the skit Abbey Inspector on Patrol and then head southwest for another event with Rokurou and a yak. Collect the nearby chest with 450 Gald and then head up the path for a Saffron, chest with Twin Charm, and a Katz Box. Head back down the path and enter the center of town to speak with the man kneeling in the dirt and then grab the Rosemary next to the General Store before heading toward the northern exit.
Follow the Cooking tutorial to obtain 5 Marbled Prickleboar Meat and 5 Nutmeg and the skit No More Taste and then watch the skit Swords and Spirits that follows. You can now exit the north side of town and search the area for a Saffron and then enter Hadlow Hollow.
|Treasures||[_] Apple Gel||[_] Shadow Daggers|
|[_] 500 Gald||[_] Life Bottle|
|[_] Rose Corsage||[_] Sage|
|[_] Chamomile||[_] 530 Gald|
|Skits||[_] That's Not How the Saying Goes*|
|[_] To Each Their Own Blade|
|[_] Daemon's Palate*|
Head northeast as you enter the hollow to find a chest at the dead end with an Apple Gel and then backtrack and head west into a large area with multiple enemies. Make sure to grab the chest with 500 Gald at the dead end to the west and then head northeast to get a short scene at the boulder. Break through the boulder to spot a Katz Box straight ahead, containing the Rose Corsage, and then exit to the north.
Follow the path until you reach the section of tar and then jump across the rocks to reach the other side. In the next large room, head east to a dead end with a Chamomile and then backtrack to the previous room and exit through the southwest. Wade through the many enemies and collect the Shadow Daggers from the dead end and then backtrack to the previous area and head northwest, pushing the boulder into the tar to create a path to the northwest exit for the skit That's Not How the Saying Goes.
In the northeast section of the next area you'll probably notice a large bat with a blade cloud surrounding it. Although not currently introduced, these one-time enemies are powerful enemies that you can hunt for bounties and rewards - just make sure to use the Quick Save feature before engaging them.
Boss: Bat Baron (HP: 12665) - Winged, Beast, Armored
At the start of the encounter, focus on defeating the minor bats to increase your SG in order to make the remainder of the fight much easier. Since the Bat Baron is resistant to non-elemental attacks, you'll need to focus on his category weaknesses in order to do any actual damage. Evade the sonic attacks or defeat any bats that are called in for reinforcements to restore your SG and keep your health up.
Velvet's Swallow Dance is great for striking the winged category and Searing Edge to strike the beast category, followed up with a Blast Soul combo.
Drops: Acrobat's Ventite
Collect the Life Bottle in the northeast corner before making your way south and then continue to trigger a skit To Each Their Own Blade. Continue north along the western section of the map and check the eastern wall for a Sage and then continue into the next area. Follow the linear path north until you trigger the skit Daemon's Palate and head southwest to a dead end with 530 Gald and then exit to the north.
Boss: Daemon Dyle (HP: 13328) - Demihuman
Weakness: Fire, Earth
This battle acts as a tutorial for weak point combos, forcing you to create a combo specifically to attack Dyle's weaknesses. This means that you'll have a custom combo specifically set up for Dyle on Velvet's arte tree, provided you create one to complete the tutorial, that you can simply spam in combat. Make sure to trigger Break Souls as you gain additional souls, but try and keep at least three souls to have enough SG to perform the weak point combo.
Drops: Denore Bottle
|Skits||[_] Sailing Isn't Easy*||[_] A Villain's Approach|
|[_] Can Daemons Become Human Again*||[_] Maintaining Blades|
|[_] Hellawes on Guard*||[_] Rokurou's Debt*|
|[_] That Reminds Me...|
Return to Hellawes and speak with the woman near the church for some additional information about the volcano up north and then speak with the shipping guild. After the cutscene, follow the tutorial on equipment Enhancements to upgrade and then dismantle Blood Blade and then take a moment to dismantle any duplicate gear in your inventory. You can now exit to Figahl Icecaps for the skit Sailing Isn't Easy and then head south toward your ship to trigger the skit Can Daemons Become Human Again before speaking with the shipping guild members.
After the cutscene, make your way back toward Hellawes for a scene and the skit Hellawes on Guard and then head to Hadlow Hollow. Make sure to watch the skit A Villain's Approach and Maintaining Blades at the Hollow's entrance and then head northeast and warp to the Hollow's depths. Head north to speak with Dyle for cutscene and the skit Rokurou's Debt and then backtrack to the Hollow's entrance for another conversation with Dyle. Outside, watch the skit That Reminds Me... before heading to Hellawes' main gate and defeat the two abbey orderlies.
Enter Hellawes and make your way to the objective marker for a scene and then engage in combat with the waves of orderlies. The orderlies are minor foes, meaning they are easy to stun and their health is rather low, and you should find yourself with plenty of extra souls to burn to quickly complete the fight.
Boss: Teresa (HP: 6664) - Person
Teresa's attacks don't do much damage, but each has a form of buff to herself or a debuff to your characters that adds a dynamic to the fight. Her Full Moon attack, which lowers your character's Arte Defense, makes the two tethered malak a serious nuisance in the fight and her remaining attacks include Defense Up and Attack Up buffs. Focus your attacks on the malakhim, using non-elemental attacks to strike their weakness, and try to interrupt their spells to avoid them damaging the AI controlled character.
With the two malakhim defeated, focus on exploiting Teresa's water weakness with artes like Twin Whip and go all out on her with Break Souls if you find yourself in excess. If you're lucky you might be able to back her into a corner and wail on her until she is defeated, but watch out for her Northern Lights attack when she reached low health.
Drops: Paladin's Ventite
|Treasures||[_] Earth Ring||[_] Life Bottle|
|[_] Amber Paper||[_] 640 Gald|
|[_] Rosemary||[_] Mercury Satchel|
|Skits||[_] Taking the Boy*||[_] White Turtlez Appears*|
|[_] Shared Interests*||[_] White Turtlez Vs Velvet*|
|[_] Planning the Assault*||[_] What's in a Name?|
|[_] The Way Malakhim Used to Be||[_] The Reaper's Coin*|
After the cutscene and skit Taking the Boy, speak with Rokurou and Dyle near the helm and Magilou at the stern of the ship and then talk to Number Two for another scene.
Boss: Pirate Malak (HP: 11247) - Unknown
This three vs. one fight is fairly easy, since the malak's attacks aren't extremely strong and Number Two has the ability to heal the minor wounds you receive. Keep up the damage and block while you recover SG to minimize damage and the fight will end when the enemy reaches half health.
As the tutorial mentions, you can now run into Dire Foes by fighting in consecutive battles within a given area while achieving high grade. These enemies are extremely difficult at your current level and should be avoided until you have at least 4 party members.
After the cutscene, speak with the pirate Benwick and Magilou for the skit Shared Interests and then speak with Dyle about the Van Aifread pirates. Once you're done speaking with everyone, and purchased any supplies you need from the pirates, climb the vines and collect the Earth Ring nearby and then enter the tunnels. Head north at the split, since the eastern area is empty except for some Katz Spirits, and make your way to the objective marker for a scene and the skit Planning the Assault.
|Eizen is the big brother of Edna, a playable character in Zestiria, and appears as an optional boss.|
Spoilers: Eizen's design in Berseria is heavily influenced by his future as a dragon - note the dragon logo, rips in the shoulders for wings, and silver scales on the back of his coat. In addition, Eizen's Break Souls and Mystic Artes include Draconic Drive, Dragon Drive, and Howling Dragon.
Head north to the next area and check the dead end to the north for a chest with Amber Paper and then head east toward the wall of vines. After receiving the Kindling, examine the vines twice to burn them out of the way and then exit to the northwest. Collect the Rosemary near the gap, which you won't be able to cross until much later in the game, and then return to the previous area and exit to the northeast. You can now follow the path until you trigger a scene and then watch the skit The Way Malakhim Used to Be that follows.
|Malakhim are described as beings that were only visible by humans with high resonance until the "Opening" occurred during the Scarlet Moon. This should be familiar, as the seraphim were only visible to the main characters in Zestiria. This means that the term malakhim is an ancient term that was lost to humanity between the two games.|
Spoilers: In Zestiria, it's mentioned that a huge event in history lead to an influx of shepherds - the "Opening".
Head northeast to a dead end with a Life Bottle and then backtrack and exit to the northwest to find a Katz Box. Follow the path toward the exclamation point to speak with the White Turtlez for the skit White Turtlez Appears and then purchase any supplies you need. Enter the next area for the skit White Turtlez Vs Velvet, followed by the skit What's in a Name?, and then exit to the east and search the room for a chest with 640 Gald. Backtrack to the previous area and follow the path north until you reach a split and then burn the vines to the north to collect the Mercury Satchel. You can now make your way toward the exit for the skit The Reaper's Coin and then continue to Burnack Plateau.

Many people enhance their diet by including superfoods in their everyday meals. It's a great way to improve your overall nutrition and general health. But did you know that your dog can benefit from superfoods as well?
There are plenty of great, nutritionally packed foods you can use to supplement your dog's daily intake, whether they eat home cooked meals or commercial dog food diet. The extra vitamins and minerals provided by these foods give your pup a necessary boost, and can help him stay healthier and happier longer.
A “superfood” can be considered any type of food item that has a larger amount and a greater variety of useful nutrients, while having a small serving size and low amount of calories with no harmful stuff. All superfoods are generally good and safe to eat.
There is no scientific or legal definition for what superfood really is, but most people consider any food packed with higher quantities of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to be a superfood in the diet, therefore, it's more of a marketing term than anything else.
Most superfoods for dogs are the same ones often recommend to people, with a few exceptions (those that may not be healthy or even toxic to dogs). Quantities of these superfoods for dogs should also be smaller when compared to a human diet.
11 Best Superfoods for Dogs That May Improve Their Health
Believe it or not, dogs love berries! Many will eat them as a treat on their own. Available in fresh or frozen forms, blueberries contain vitamins C and E, manganese, and fiber. They also have tons of healthy antioxidants.
Blueberries are a great choice for energetic, active pups. Just be aware that dogs should not eat too many blueberries at once – this can cause some digestive upset (aka, diarrhea). Introduce them slowly to your pet's diet, just like you would with a baby or child.
Carrots may seem like a standard vegetable to you, but they are a great nutritional boost for your pet. Carrots are especially great because most dogs love them, and will eat them as a plain treat! These veggies are full of potassium, carotenoids, fiber, magnesium, manganese, and vitamins B, C, and K.
Carrots are great for giving your dog a boost of energy! They also can help retain your pet's eye health. As an added bonus, they are nice and crunchy, meaning they help keep your dog's teeth cleaner.
Chia seeds have become very popular recently. They are known for their excellent quantities of fiber, omega fatty acids, and antioxidants.
Chia seeds are expensive, but you don't need a lot for your pet to reap the benefits. They're also very easy to serve – just sprinkle some over your dog's dry kibble.
4. Coconut Oil
These MCTs also make coconut oil wonderful for the health of your pet's skin and coat. It's good for you too!
READ MORE: 12 Health Benefits of Coconut Oil for Dogs
Fish is a main protein that is an excellent source of nutrients for your dog. Fish like herring, salmon, and anchovies have lots of good omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which is great for skin and fur condition.
These fatty acids can also help dogs with chronic conditions, like arthritis, find some relief from their pain. It's also great for pets with skin irritation or allergies. The fatty acids can help reduce scratching and heal open wounds.
Kale is super popular among people as a superfood, and it's great for your pet too. Kale is very low-calorie, making it a nutritious choice for overweight or obese pets. It's packed with vitamins A, C, and E.
It also has plenty of antioxidants that help with inflammation in the body. Kale can be served raw or cooked. If you make homemade dog treats, it's a great addition.
Pumpkin is a popular ingredient in dog foods and treats. This is partly due to its easy digestibility. In addition to being a good choice for your pup's stomach, pumpkin has lots of healthy fiber, potassium, carotenoids, and vitamin C.
If your dog is feeling sick, pumpkin is a great way to get him some extra nutrition while not upsetting his stomach. Look for canned organic plain pureed pumpkin; avoid pie filling types as they have a lot of additives and sugar.
Grains are an important part of your dog's diet, but wheat and corn are not the best options. Quinoa is a good replacement, and it can be found in some dog foods or easily added to your pet's diet.
The best part about this grain is that it is also a complete protein, containing all 8 essential amino acids. This is great for your pet's overall health. The fiber makes it easily digestible, too.

Seaweed may not seem very appetizing to some people, but it's an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. There are many different types of seaweed available – for the most convenient option, get some that is already crumbled so you can sprinkle it on your dog's food.
Seaweeds have all kinds of vitamins, including B, C, and E, and minerals like zinc and copper. It can also help boost your dog's immune function.
10. Sweet Potato
Sweet potato, like pumpkin, is great for sensitive stomachs. In addition to some fiber, these tubers also have lots of beta-carotene, antioxidants, and vitamin A and C for immune health.
Plain sweet potatoes are easy to cook up for your pup at home, or you can buy plain pureed sweet potato in cans for an easy addition to kibble. You can also dehydrate sweet potato slices for an easy, healthy snack!
It's great for digestion. In the summer months, freeze some dog-friendly yogurt for a special treat that has plenty of calcium, B12, potassium, and more.
Superfoods are a great way to boost a dog's nutrition, and it doesn't have to be difficult to add these foods to their diet. In addition to these options, there are lots of other superfoods available.
Look for dog foods and treats that already contain these nutritious ingredients, or simply pick up a little extra food for your pup on your next grocery trip. You'll notice your dog might start feeling better, looking healthier, and have more energy!

As we continue to expand construction across the United States, we naturally run into land that’s not exactly the most attractive for construction. Enter, wetlands. Land developers can’t build a solid foundation on the land as is and, even though it’s an essential ecosystem, it’s not exactly ocean front property. That’s when wetlands mitigation banking comes into play.
The problem for developers is that wetlands are protected under the Clean Water Act, so if they want to build on wetlands, they have to find and create a new, undeveloped space elsewhere to build the same area of wetlands as they are going to develop. Think of it as picking up an existing ecosystem and moving it to a new location. That’s wetlandsbanking in a nutshell.
But when you drill a little deeper, the science behind creating a new wetland, enhancing an existing wetland or preserving a wetland is not only fascinating, but also an intricate process. To start, the developer must find land that is approved for wetlands development. Once they’ve found available land, they must determine whether the soil is suitable for wetland banking.
Only a couple of soil types are acceptable for creating a wetland ecosystem. The soil must be saturated, even inundated with moisture. The best type for creating a new wetland or enhancing an existing wetland is called hydricsoil. This is earth that was once part of a wetland. It can be transported from the site of desired development to the proposed wetland area so that no moisture-rich soil is wasted.
Another aspect that developers may wish to consider is to maintain the existing wetlands on the property and use mitigation banking to “sculpt” the land to areas that better suit the layout of the property. Money is saved because the developer does not have to hire a firm to search for new land, and there is no need to purchase additional land. In fact, the saved wetlands can even be used as positive PR for the development.

Mélenchon of the Front de Gauche (Left Front), who represents a coalition of leftist parties including the Communists, has emerged as a significant factor in the campaign just as Socialist frontrunner François Hollande faces a resurgent threat from incumbent President Nicolas Sarkozy.
His virulent attacks on the rich, France’s elite and austerity measures have struck a chord with many voters, and polls this week showed him rising above the symbolic 10 percent mark, up four points from the start of the year, with only five weeks to go before the April 22nd first round of voting.
Decrying a France “disfigured by inequality,” Mélenchon called for a “civic insurrection” as he addressed a sea of supporters in Place de la Bastille.
Waving red Front de Gauche and Communist Party flags, tens of thousands of supporters marched through central Paris under cloudy skies in a symbolic rally to “retake the Bastille” — the square where the mediaeval fortress and prison was stormed in the watershed event of the French Revolution.
Organisers said more than 100,000 people took part in the rally, held on the anniversary of the Paris Commune uprising of 1871.
“We have returned, the people of France’s revolutions and rebellions. We are the red flag!” Mélenchon roared to the crowd, saying the rally marked the start of a “citizens’ revolution.”
In a 20-minute speech, Mélenchon outlined a programme focused on taxing the rich and financial world, boosting social spending and increasing workers’ rights.
He also vowed constitutional changes enshrining the rights to abortion, to homosexual marriage and a “green rule” forcing France to protect the environment.
To chants of his name, Mélenchon vowed to “open a new chapter” in France’s history and offered support to the peoples of Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy, who he said were “under the weight of oppression” from European austerity measures.
“We must today, in this France that has been disfigured by inequality … refound the republic, refound France itself,” he said, before his speech ended with the singing of left-wing anthem “The Internationale” and the French national anthem.
“Mélenchon represents the only political force that truly represents the French people,” supporter Sylvianne Tardieu, a 50-year-old Communist from the central city of Clermont-Ferrand, said at the rally.
“He is fighting against the world of finance for the French people,” she said.
Organisers hailed the rally, where marchers carried placards reading “Take Power!” and “The Citizens’ Revolution Is on the March,” as a major step forward in Mélenchon’s campaign.
“This is a big success, it’s the biggest public gathering of the election campaign so far,” Mélenchon advisor Eric Coquerel told BFM television.
“We can go much higher,” he said of Mélenchon’s poll numbers. “Our campaign is gaining credibility. … We are targeting the second round.”
The latest IFOP poll released Sunday showed Mélenchon with 11 percent support in the first round.
It also showed right-wing Sarkozy, who this week for the first time moved ahead of Hollande in first-round intentions, with 27.5 percent of the vote compared to 27 percent for his Socialist rival.
Hollande, the longstanding poll-leader, was still forecast to comfortably win the May 6th second round with 54 percent to 46 percent for Sarkozy.
Sensing the threat on his left flank, Hollande has suggested to left-wing voters that a vote for Mélenchon could hand victory to the right.
“Every vote is useful,” Hollande said when asked about Mélenchon’s surge this week. “I do not want to question this or that choice by voters, but everyone must understand what is at stake.”
But Mélenchon’s supporters rejected the idea that voting for the candidate could lead to a victory for Sarkozy.
“We are pushing ideas for change,” Sebastien Goyard, a 27-year-old social security worker from Paris, said during the march.
“If we don’t vote with our principles in the first round, change is not possible,” he said.
Mélenchon, a 60-year-old former Socialist minister and senator, split with the party in 2008 to found his own party and was elected to the European Parliament in 2009.

The rich and ancient history of the Gaudai family name dates back to the time when France was immersed in the Dark Ages. This name from the Normandy
region of France is derived from the Norman-French given name Gaudi, which means ruler.
Early Origins of the Gaudai family
The surname Gaudai was first found in Normandy
(French: Normandie), the former Duchy of Normandy
, where this celebrated family has held a family seat
since ancient times.
Early History of the Gaudai family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Gaudai research.Another 527 words (38 lines of text) covering the years 1340, 1474, 1557, 1697, 1698, 1699, and 1700 are included under the topic Early Gaudai History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Gaudai Spelling Variations
Changes of spelling have occurred in most surnames: during the early development of the written French language, names were not yet fixed in spelling. Usually a person gave his version of his name, phonetically, to a scribe, a priest, or a recorder. This depended on accent, and local
accents frequently changed the spelling of a name. Certain variations were adopted by different branches of the family name. Spelling variations
of the name Gaudai, include Gaudet, Gaudette, Gaudait, Gaudais, Gaudey, Godet, Godette, Godait, Godais, Goder, Godee, Goday, Goddet, Goddette, Gauddet and many more.
Early Notables of the Gaudai family (pre 1700)
Another 30 words (2 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Gaudai Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Gaudai family to the New World and Oceana
Approximately 110 years after the first landings by Cartier, there were only about 300 people in Quebec. France gave land incentives for 2,000 migrants during the next decade. Early marriage was desperately encouraged amongst the immigrants. The fur trade attracted migrants, both noble and commoner. 15,000 explorers left Montreal in the late 17th and 18th centuries. By 1675, there were 7000 French in Quebec. Migration to New France (Quebec) continued from France until it fell in 1759. In the year 1675 the Acadian presence in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island had reached 500. In 1755, 10,000 French Acadians refused to take an oath of allegiance to England
and were deported to Louisiana. The French founded Lower Canada, thus becoming one of the two great founding nations of Canada. The distinguished family name Gaudai has made significant contributions to the culture, arts, sciences and religion of France and New France. Amongst the settlers in North America with this distinguished name Gaudai were Eugene Godet who settled in Philadelphia in 1843; Thomas Martin Debois Godet settled in Philadelphia in 1843; A Godey settled in San Francisco in 1852.

Hovis sold to PE Firm after Endless negotiations
Iconic bread brand Hovis has been bought by UK private equity firm Endless LLP from its owners Gores Group and Premier Foods, which also own Mr Kipling.
The price has not been disclosed although Premier Foods said it will receive £37m through the deal.
Endless said it is planning “significant investment” into Hovis to help its management team achieve their growth plans.
The deal comes after Hovis successfully carried out a major turnaround of its business over the last four years. The restructuring of the 134 year old bakery included selling off the majority of its milling business in 2018 to focus on its baking operations. The firm employs around 2,700 people.
Hovis was up for sale by majority owner US private equity firm Gores. Following a bidding war, Italian food group Newlat pulled out and private equity firm Endless succeeded. Other potential buyers were also involved.
Bread sales soared in 2020 due to lockdown, meaning less commuting and more home sandwich making.
The Hovis brand has grown since an 1886 flour-milling innovation was made by Staffordshire baker Richard “Stoney” Smith.

Denmark plans to invest 465 million kroner ($75 million) to create an offensive cyberwarfare unit by 2017 to deal with hostile internet attacks.
The task will be assigned to the Defense Intelligence Service (FE), which will have the power to conduct cyber attacks and will develop cyberwarfare strategy toward hostile countries and organizations, Danish daily Jydske Vestkysten reported.
Cyberattacks can be delivered to paralyze a foe’s air defense, power and water supply systems, and essential websites, another daily, Politiken says.
The move comes following hacker attacks against the Danish defense industry, Business and Growth Ministry, and Maritime Authority. Several enterprises have been targeted, too, with hackers from China seen as the main suspects.

So where do I start with this blog? How about with one of my favourite shots. This was taken two thirds of the way up an active volcano – Mount Etna in Sicily. The views were obviously spectacular from such a high vantage point but what was more interesting to me was how barren it was up there, life is unable to take hold in such conditions. As we were walking back to the cable car I noticed this family walking towards us wearing jackets that you could rent from the cable car company. As they walked past I swung my lens round and quickly took this shot. I have to admit that I put no thought into the composition as I still feel self-conscious when taking photos of strangers and I didn’t want them to notice me taking pictures of them. This is the only shot I took and I was really pleased with it.
There is a lot of different things I like about this shot – the three bands of grey, the family walking off into nowhere looking a bit lost, and the ridiculously large waterproof that the kid is wearing along with his hat and sunglasses.

Land O'Frost has these new wrap kits out and they are healthy and delicious. I was lucky enough to get 2 to review but honestly I would have bought them to try them either way since we love wraps.
Land O'Frost wrap kit along with the Oven Roasted turkey and Pepper jack kit and I am still trying to find the Chipotle turkey and cheddar one at the store to buy because it sounds yummy too. My kids are kind of picky eaters well mainly my 3 youngest and they loved them. Even my 3 year old liked them and she eats nothing I swear haha. She is now a big bread person so the tortilla was alot better to her. Me and my husband were surprised how soft and fresh the tortillas were and the the generous helpings of meat and cheese that they give you to put on each wrap. One kit makes a total of 5 wraps so that is great and they are a very good size too. Best part is they are only 230 calories per wrap which for lunch meat and cheese and stuff is awesome.
So if you have a family that loves sandwiches or wraps you have to check out Land O'Frost new Wrap kits. They are delicious! They would make great h'orderves for parties as well. Just wrap them slice them smaller and mini wraps. Yes I am thinking Holiday parties! So head out to your local grocery and pick some up today. You will be glad you did!

Dysfunctional and yet iconic characters inhabit most of the productions of John Guare’s plays. HOUSE OF BLUE LEAVES is no exception introducing the audience to a triad of iconic dreamers … Artie who wants his dream to be reality; Bunny who makes her dreams reality by supporting others’ dreams, and Bananas who has lost her grip on reality and has only dreams left.
How much subtlety and nuance can one expect from a plot that is driven by a zookeeper struggling to be a songwriter, the city-wide frenzy of a papal visit and the potential “blessings” that could provide our dreamers, an AWOL son with negatively bombastic intentions, and a schizophrenic who barks like a dog when reality gets too close? None … is the answer to that question. Mania and black comedy are the bywords of this production.
South Camden Theatre Company opened their production of HOUSE OF BLUE LEAVES with director, Susan Jami Paschkes, saying in her program notes that human existence is “…like planets which do not find a path into orbit.” Paschkes designed with Bob Bingaman and Andrew Cowles a claustrophobic and dark 1965 Queens, NY, cold water flat for our dreamers. While the placement of the piano and the use of the kitchen itself could be argued to provide better support from optional placement, the apartment is very appropriate. The placement of areas on either side to provide lighted monologue delivery areas generally works well. While Bunny’s costumes add period color and panache, the overall chromatic scheme is like the ethereal Bananas who drifts around in pale nightclothes for the majority of the play. These people are truly lost planets and their futile hopes for this “special day” to get them into their orbits hang in the air of this production.
Artie, played with Jackie Gleason-esque bravado and sensitivity by Damian Muziani, inhabits his character giving the audience a full view of how the vagaries of his life buffet him. Playing Bunny is Gabrielle M. Affleck. Her performance is a pastiche of comedic abilities. Affleck’s high-pitched vocality could have been grating but never was and Affleck provided a commanding performance for this excitable, twitchy woman. Nuance is something to be expected from Bananas, played with aching despair by Susan Chase. Chase’s ethereal and drifting performance seemed unattached to those around her who are grounded in their daily lives and their current problems. Chase provided a pictoral difference between the women in Artie’s life but more was needed to show the contradictory elements of her schizophrenia. Joshua McLucas gives a strong performance as Artie and Banana’s son, Ronnie. His explanatory monologue about his feelings and the need for the action he is taking is clear and believable in the midst of the chaos that is this day for everyone else.
To use the theatrical phrase, chaos ensues in the second act. The introduction of pushy nuns, the helpful but easily distracted Hollywood friend, Billy Einhorn, and his wife, Corrinna Stroller, who is deaf but doesn’t want people to know, keep the action moving right through to the apartment explosion … yes, I said explosion!
The article continues after this ad
Einhorn and Stroller are played effectively by Tim Sagges and Adriana Alveario, respectively; and the balance of the ensemble adds the final touches of what Guare wants us to believe is modern civilization. It is a delightful evening of laughter with some wistful touches! Comedy runs throughout the production and the second act brings hysteria to the stage.
Come and be entertained by another production well produced by SCTC.
House of Blue Leaves is presented by the South Camden Theatre Company now through January 31 at the Waterfront South Theatre, 400 Jasper Street in Camden, New Jersey. For more information visit http://southcamdentheatre.org

The magnitude 9.0 earthquake that set off the deadly Indian Ocean tsunami also set off Jeff McNeely – chief scientist of the Swiss-based World Conservation Union (IUCN). In Mr. McNeely’s December 27, 2004 interview with AFP – the Paris-based news service – he exposed himself as the nihilistic, anti-human, irrational, and biocentric hack so commonly found in the environmental movement. With such a monumental human tragedy unfolding, Jeff McNeely found this an opportune time to place undue blame on the victims themselves – because, in essence, the victims weren’t eco-friendly.
So what did the nihilist, Jeff McNeely, have to say in the AFP article – titled Human Activities Contributed to Tsunami’s Ravages. Here are excerpts from this awful piece (the following commentary is directly attributable to Mr. McNeely):
- What has made this a disaster is that people have started to occupy part of the landscape that they shouldn’t have occupied…Fifty years ago the coastline was not densely occupied as now by tourist hotels.
- What has also happened over the last several decades is that many mangroves have been cleared to grow shrimp ponds so that we, here in Europe, can have cheap shrimp.
- The mangroves…were cleared by people who didn’t have long-term knowledge of why these mangroves should have been saved, by outsiders who get concessions from governments and set up shrimp or prawn farms.
- The shrimps and the prawns are sold to Europeans and other foreigners at a price that does not include the environmental cost which is being paid today (emphasis added).
In other words, the price people must pay, for building shrimp farms and coastal resort facilities, is death. People should be ashamed of tourism and of eating inexpensive shrimp. Never mind that many of this disaster’s victims were making an honest living in the tourism and seafood industries. Mr. McNeely conveys the Marxist-tinged message that many of the locals who died were being exploited by Europeans and other foreigners (so these outsiders are at fault too). This exploitation was tantamount to a death sentence for the locals selfish enough to live and work in a coastal setting.
Using Jeff McNeely’s logic, humans shouldn’t inhabit islands nor coastal areas. Consequently, let’s evacuate the Hawaiian Islands, Los Angeles, San Diego, Miami, etc., as it is better to be safe than sorry. Each of these places can be turned back to the native flora and fauna. In turn, all of us can live at peace with nature, as we can never know when Mother Nature will decide to touch off another devastating tsunami. Such thinking is delusional and, frighteningly enough, passes for wisdom amongst environmentalists. Let’s not forget that Jeff McNeely is the World Conservation Union’s chief scientist.
With the death toll expected to exceed 100,000, it is clear that this is a tragedy of immense proportions. Yet, it is in this context that environmentalists have attempted to move forward an agenda of "green" social engineering (i.e., let the green central planners tell you where to live and determine what natural resources will be made available for mankind’s use). Jeff McNeely, the World Conservation Union, and all environmentalists should be ashamed of exploiting this tragedy. Of course, no sense of shame will emerge, as environmentalism is a nihilistic movement.

Gender Medicine: The Groundbreaking New Science of Gender and Sex-Related Diagnosis and Treatment
by Marek Glezerman Author
Studies have shown that women are more sensitive to antihistamines, that Aspirin is more effective in preventing strokes in women but more effective in preventing heart attacks in men, that Alzheimer's disease is expressed differently for men and women.
Medical research is often done primarily on men, with results applied to women patients; these differences are largely overlooked by the medical establishment. But male and female bodies have evolved crucial physiological differences, and author Marek Glezerman M.D. is finally taking those into account. Calling for a paradigm shift in the medical field, Gender Medicine explores these key differences, looking at how they are commonly treated and offering better solutions that take these differences into account. This book is an eye-opening read for both those in the medical field, and their patients.

Did you know that Vasco is a club that has received an honor from Portugal’s royalty and that they could, if they wanted, add the word “royal” before their name and the Portuguese crown on their shield?
Real Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama? The story behind the club’s title of royalty
This is a story that was born in the distant year of 1907, which was lost after a regicide – the murder of a king – that shocked Portugal at the beginning of the last century, but which was recently rescued. Vasco is the only club outside Portugal that holds this Royal License.
The details are broken down in the book “125 anos de Glórias: Real Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama”, launched on Thursday at an event at the Palácio de São Clemente, in Rio de Janeiro, where the headquarters of the Embassy of Portugal in Brazil are located. . O ge spoke with Manuel Beninger, president of the Portuguese Association of Monarchical Mayors (APAM) and author of the work (see a summary in the video above).
– The book is not a novel, it is a historical record. It tells the story of those small details that give Vasco its title. It’s as if Vasco were the Real Madrid of the tropics – he joked.
In December 2016, on a visit to São Januário, APAM awarded the club the Medal of Honor for promoting its Portuguese roots. Then-president Eurico Miranda received the badge in his hands.
On the occasion, historian Henrique Hübner, who was director of the Vasco Memory Center, commented on the title of nobility that the club should have received in 1908 (the fact was reported by newspapers at the time), but which ended up being forgotten throughout of time.
– He said that he had this story, that it had vaguely happened, but that there was no confirmation – explained Beninger.
– So when I was alerted about this, I asked about Vasco’s desire to have this royal title. They showed great interest. I went to Portugal, did the research, we got in touch with historians, with the Chancellery of the Portuguese Royal House and it was found that, in fact, there was and there was overwhelming evidence of this document to be delivered to Vasco da Gama. The title existed, but it was not delivered – he added.
“The Real Madrid of the tropics”
The story is as follows: in 1907, in recognition of Vasco’s achievements in favor of Portuguese roots, King Dom Carlos I promulgated the so-called Royal Charter. The royal document would be delivered to the club the following year, 1908, during the King of Portugal’s visit to Brazil to celebrate 100 years since the opening of the ports of Rio de Janeiro to friendly nations.
– However, on February 1, 1908, the king was assassinated. There was a regicide, they killed the king and the royal prince. The king did not come, the title was not given and it was forgotten in history. Completely forgotten – said the author of the book.
At that time, it was common to confer royalty titles on football clubs and institutions. In Brazil, the Royal Portuguese Reading Cabinet and the Real Sociedade Clube de Ginástica Português remain standing to this day – both, like Vasco, received the Royal Charter from the Royal House of Portugal.
It’s the same thing that happened with Real Madrid, which in turn received the honor from Spanish King Alfonso XIII. In Spain, Real Sociedad, Betis, Valladolid, Celta de Vigo, Mallorca and Espanyol are other examples of clubs that have “Real” in their name and the crown on their shield.
– Vasco is the Real Madrid of the tropics. That was the proposal – said Manuel Beninger.
On behalf of APAM and informed about Vasco’s interest, Beninger liaised with the Portuguese Royal House to renew the Royal Charter’s votes. The new document (photo above) it was signed by Dom Duarte de Bragança, currently the head of the Portuguese monarchy, and handed over to the club in August 2017.
The ceremony ended a story that began more than a century ago.
The book written by Beninger will be sold for a symbolic amount, and all proceeds will be passed on to a solidarity institution in Guinea Bissau: “We are going to help another Portuguese-speaking country, which is a very well-known country. They are interested in making a Vasco da Gama football team. We are going to buy uniforms, equip young people and think about Brazil outside of Brazil. We want to project Vasco outside the continent”, he concluded.

African states are failing to put in place policies to ensure proper air navigation surveillance services for aircraft departing and landing in their airports, which makes air rescue services more difficult, aviation experts said Monday.
The African Airlines Association (AFRAA) Secretary General Christian Folly-Kossi told aviation experts meeting here that African states must be put on their toes to improve on aviation safety, especially the lack of critical aviation safety equipment.
Citing the Kenya Airways plane crash, which occurred in Douala, Cameroon on 5 May, 2007, the AFRAA chief said it was regrettable that it took more than 24 hours to locate a plane that crashed only five kilometres away from the runway.
The Kenya Airways lost its commercial aircraft, a Boeing 737, with 114 passengers on board plus crew members shortly after the plane left the Douala international airport.
It took more than 48 hours before the Cameroonian authorities could locate the aircraft and its passengers.
The delay in locating the crash site was blamed for the high number of casualties.
In a similar incident in Lagos, Nigeria, it took the authorities more than 24 hours to locate the wreckage of a plane which had crashed very close to the point of takeoff.
“Most of the time, passengers who could have survived the accident would perish because of the state’s poor safety and rescue systems,” Folly-Kossi said.
International aviation safety standards are set by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), a United Nations body, whose directives are to be implemented by the national civil aviation authorities of the respective states.
However, AFRAA has expressed concern over the lack of autonomy for most of the national civil aviation bodies within Africa, saying they acted as part and parcel of the various African governments, making the enforcement of these regulations difficult.
African airline chiefs are gathered at the AFRAA base in Nairobi, Kenya, for the two-day air disaster management training aimed at preparing the various African airlines on emergency responses to air crashes.
AFRAA has called on ICAO to act tough on African states failing to abide by the air safety standards, which is critical for ensuring the survival of the air travelers in times of accidents.


Reliable Furnace Installation and Repair Services in El Paso and the Surrounding Areas
Everyone in El Paso is familiar with the cold weather here; it’s even snowed a couple of times. Winter here is nothing to ignore, and the best way to combat the cold temperatures is by calling TemperaturePro® El Paso.
TemperaturePro® contractors can:
- Professionally install new heating equipment
- Maintain your current equipment to keep it running smoothly
- Make any repairs that are needed
- Replace your current furnace with more efficient equipment
To get the most out of your furnace, come to the El Paso heating experts at TemperaturePro.
To begin the installation process, the first step is to conduct a heat-loss calculation. This is done to judge how much heat a home will lose through its windows, walls, doors, and cracks. It also accounts for the other load-bearing appliances within the house. After conducting the heat-loss calculation, TemperaturePro® technicians can select the proper unit for your home. This is important because installing a unit that is improperly sized and does not meet the home’s stipulations will overwork itself and will operate inefficiently, which causes the problems further down the road.
Once the TemperaturePro® contractor and the customer find a furnace that meets the customer’s needs and falls within the customer’s budget, it’s time to install the unit. Every TemperaturePro® technician is familiar with furnaces and installation codes, so they’ll make sure the job is done right. TemperaturePro® technicians are trained to install every furnace as if they were installing their very own unit. This helps them to meet the high TemperaturePro® standards and expectations while leaving the customer completely satisfied.
Furnace Service and Repair
It’s not enough to install the furnace properly; it also must be maintained properly. When properly installed and maintained, a furnace can last for more than a twenty years. In order to get the most out of your furnace, it must run efficiently and must be properly maintained to avoid major repairs. Optimizing furnace performance and lifetime is what TemperaturePro® does best. TemperaturePro® offers great maintenance plans that save customers money on both their energy bill and the avoidance of major repairs. Here are just a few things TemperaturePro® El Paso does during a typical maintenance visit:
- Inspect and change the air filters
- Lubricate all moving parts
- Check system controls
- Clean and inspect the burner
- Inspect electrical wiring
- Check fuel lines for leaks
- Calibrate the thermostat
There are a lot of things that homeowners can do themselves to keep a furnace running efficiently, and TemperaturePro® technicians will walk them through the steps. However, even with a lot of do-it-yourself work on the furnace, it is suggested that professional maintenance is conducted on a regular basis.
Regular maintenance will extend the life of a furnace by years, improve its fuel efficiency, and provide cleaner air to the home. One of the most beneficial features of professional maintenance is the peace of mind that comes with knowing your unit is well taken care of, which drastically reduces the risk of a sudden breakdown due to avoidable problems.
Each product that TemperaturePro® provides and installs comes with a 24-hour repair team that will respond quickly in case of an emergency. Whether it’s an emergency or not, TemperaturePro® offers customers flat-rate pricing with accurate estimates up front. This way customers are always on the same page as the technicians.
Customers looking to install a new unit, repair an old one, or maintain a current one should look no further than TemperaturePro.


Radiation Shield Technologies is awarded patent for anti-nuclear clothing
RST was awarded this patent because of their anti-nuclear protective garment, made of Demron, a polymeric nano metal fabric. Demron is the only fabric of this kind that is proven to protect against nuclear chemicals.
South Korea has opted to protect 12,000 nuclear power employees and 23 nuclear reactors in response to threats from North Korea about an alleged future nuclear attack. South Korea has also sent protective clothing to emergency response teams, such as the fire departments, throughout the country.
"RST is committed to continuing its efforts to provide the best possible protection for the people of South Korea," the inventor of Demron Ronald DeMeo, M.D., said.

Sadly by this stage, Krokus had run its course for the time being. That said I find this a more enjoyable romp than later Storace albums which would follow in the decade.
Written by: Dangerzone
SERIAL: P 81060
CD REISSUE: Discogs Reissue List
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN:
LINEUP: Peter Tanner – vocals * Fernando Von Arb – guitar * Manny Maurer – guitar * Tony Castell – bass * Peter Haas – drums
TRACK LISTING: 01 Stampede * 02 Electric Man * 03 Rock N Roll Gypsy * 04 Shotgun Boogie * 05 Nova-Zano * 06 Street Love * 07 Good Times * 08 She Drives Me Crazy * 09 In The Heat Of The Night * 10 Rhythm Of Love * 11 Wasteland * 12 You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet
WEBLINKS: Site Link
The ever fading fortunes of Krokus in the late 80’s led Fernando Von Arb to reshape the band, to the point he was the only member left from 1988’s ‘Heart Attack’, which was actually the band’s best album since ‘Headhunter.’ In place of Marc Storace came Peter Tanner, who in a reversal of direction was a Brian Johnson styled vocalist.
Von Arb apparently decided that Krokus had better keep up with the current AC/DC lineup. That’s not to say ‘Stampede’ is a bad album by any means. In fact it is heavier and better produced than anything since ‘Headhunter’. Unfortunately the damage had been done for Krokus and without Storace they lost their identity.
The title track is the band’s heaviest moment metal wise in years and it seemed they had been listening closely to Judas Priest. The riffs are brutal and if you ever wanted to know what Brian Johnson would sound like singing for Priest then this is the evidence, Tanner very impressive. ‘Electric Man’ is better than almost anything off AC/DC‘s ‘The Razor’s Edge’.
But that being said ‘Rock ‘N’ Roll Gypsy’ has to be heard to be believed. Such is the Brian Johnson imitation from Tanner that on first listen I was reduced to tears of laughter. The riffs are there however and it’s a good time romp from Krokus. There’s more of the same with ‘Shotgun Boogie’ and honestly these guys were rocking harder than Angus and co in 1990.
There’s little redeeming about ‘Nova Zano’, which is the most blatant ‘Kashmir’ rip off of all time, but still has a memorable chorus. This is a lengthy album, but everything is listenable enough and there’s even a stab at a Whitesnake like epic, ‘In The Heat (Still?) Of The Night’, complete with atmospheric breakdown and clocking in at seven minutes.
Also running at this length is ‘Wasteland’, where the Priest comparisons arise once more especially in the guitar solos, where Von Arb and Maurer trade licks in an obvious ‘Painkiller’ clone. Tanner still sounds like Johnson though. The remake of BTO‘s ‘You ‘Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet’ is an attempt to recreate the Storace cover days of ‘American Woman’ and ‘Stayed Awake All Night’, but really falls flat. Tanner sings normally here, losing all the Johnson mannerisms and it sounds like a totally different singer. Honestly I prefer the imitation.
An album that went nowhere fast despite the attempts to upgrade the sound. Realistically the loss of Storace was too much to overcome, as would prove the case in 1999 when Carl Sentance joined for ‘Round 13’. Maurer, Castell and Haas would all put in further stints with the band over the next decade and more. It was obvious with ‘Stampede’ Von Arb was chasing every popular trend of the day in the hope of making a quick buck, but sadly Krokus had run its course for the time being. That said I find this more enjoyable than later Storace albums, particularly the pairing of ‘Rock The Block’ and ‘Hellraiser’.

[Smokey] Not bad stuff. Some hard rocking songs on there. Better than crap like ‘The Blitz’ from 84 anyway – if that’s what it was called. It’s been so long since I gave it a spin that I don’t really have any memory of it anymore.
Not ‘The Blitz’, that wasn’t too bad. It’s the one after it, I think, that really sucked wimp rock ass. I can’t remember what it was called. I’ll have to look it up on Wiki – if I can even be bothered.
