Battle Raper II is a weapon-based 3D fighting game in which the players are able to knock female opponents' clothing off. Every character has unlimited guard, a move that can not be blocked, as well as a super move. The game also features a variety of alternative clothing items and weapons for all the characters that can be used to edit their models.
The game includes a single-player story mode, a multiplayer mode, and an Extras mode which is unlocked after finishing the storyline. As opposed to the first Battle Raper, the sequel actually does not feature rape but only consensual sex. Once a fight against a female character is won, the game enters a special mode where the unconscious woman lies on the ground in front of the player who now has to heal her wounds. The Replay mode allows the player to have sex with a chosen female character.
A currently untitled game from Arika that is set to continue the Street Fighter EX series of games.
A video game revealed on April fools day, the trick being it was an actual game that had secretly been in development, that has characters from the Street Fighters EX series but no official name has been announced.
The game will be playable at EVO 2017 with a new system that wasn't included in the previous playable event.
Shaman King: Spirit of Shamans is based on the anime, in which you will complete the first half of the overall story featured within the anime/manga series. This is the first fighting game featured within the series. The graphics seem to reflect other styles seen within the original Gundam Battle Assault, in which you will be playing right-to-left with advanced sprite graphics. Your spirit can also be regularly used within this fighter as to assist you. At random times in battle, the icon of your specific spirit will flash, in which if you press either O or X fast enough, your overall spirit meter will rise. When risen to the highest extent, you can unleash your ultimate. Within this game, three different buttons vary from a weak attack, or a more stronger attack. The combo system seems to range up to the max of 10 in battle. Story mode, Vs mode, and Arcade mode are the three playable modes within this game. In Story mode, you will experience various cutscenes and additional minigames. Arcade mode seems to be the same except for the fact that you will be continuously battling. Of course within Vs mode, you can battle against a friend or a com. Overall within this game, 17 characters are playable (3 of which being different versions of Yoh). It is known that Hao can also be playable, but a Gameshark code is needed. Fortunately, as well within battle, character voices will be experienced rather commonly, in which anime cutscenes will be experienced at times - such as in the intro. Overall, it seems that Shaman King: Spirit of Shamans is the best 2D fighter of its series.
Bleach: Versus Crusade (BLEACH バーサス・クルセイド 特典) is a game for the Nintendo Wii and it was released in Japan on December 18, 2008. It is unknown if the game will be released outside of Japan. Scans depict a roster of characters in line with the manga and anime storyline, featuring Nelliel, Nnoitra, Ichigo with his Hollow mask and Grimmjow's released form, (Pantera) to name a few. The gameplay appears to have been changed substantially, showing a split-screen during multi-player fights. It is a one-on-one fighter, but players pick a partner character for various team-up attacks and other maneuvers as well as being able to switch between them. It supports Wi-Fi play and can be played with the Classic controller or Gamecube controller in place of the Wii-Remote and nunchuk. Unlike other instalments before this, it is developed by Treasure Co. Ltd.
This game is an interactive adaptation of Neon Genesis Evangelion for N64. Called Shinseki Evangelion in Japan, the Gainax-produced anime series originally aired from October '95 to March '96 and soon spawned a feature movie release in '97. The N64 game starts in the year 2015, 15 years after Second Impact. The Angels have returned and suddenly attack Tokyo-3. Using so-called "terror-fields" that cannot be penetrated by ordinary weapons, the Angels are taking on every human force sent out to oppose them. That's where you come in. As the pilot of the NERV-designed Evangelions, Shinji Ikari, you take your giant humanoid combat mech into battle with the Angels. Gameplay can best be described as interactive anime, as it relies heavily on timed button presses.
The title will power the series into the future by revolutionizing online play and ramping up the number of playable and support characters far beyond any NARUTO game in the wildly popular franchise. Players will compete in a variety of online battle modes with their favorite NARUTO characters, including Naruto and Sasuke. NARUTO fans have been waiting to see more of Zabuza and Haku since the launch of the original Manga, and now they will have their chance!

Final Fight is a side-scrolling beat-'em-up produced by Capcom. Final Fight can be played by up to two players simultaneously. Before the game begins, the player chooses between the three main characters: Haggar, Cody, and Guy. Each has his own fighting style and attributes. Health gauges are displayed for both player and enemy characters.
The controls for Final Fight consist of an eight-way joystick and two buttons for attacking and jumping respectively. Pressing the attack button repeatedly when attacking an enemy or multiple enemies will cause the player character to perform a combo. The final blow of the combo can be changed to a throw if the player moves the joystick in the opposite direction just before landing it. The player can also perform a jump attack. Pressing the attack and jump buttons simultaneously allows the player to perform a special attack that strikes all surrounding enemies, but will drain a small portion of the player's health.
Enemies can be grabbed simply by walking into one of them. When an enemy is grabbed, the player can perform a grab attack by pressing the attack button or perform a throw by tilting the joystick left or right. A thrown enemy can be tossed at another for additional damage. Items such as weapons, health recovery items, and items awarding extra points can be picked up by standing over one and pressing the attack button. Weapons have limited uses and will disappear if the player is disarmed by an enemy too much or when the player moves to a new area.
Final Fight consists of six stages or "rounds", as well as two bonus rounds. Each round takes place in a different section of Metro City such as the Slums and the Subway, with most rounds featuring more than one level. At the end of each round the player will face a boss character unique to that round.

Mehmet Efendi's original finely ground Turkish coffee is traditionally prepared in a 'cezve' a small long-handled pot. For medium-sweet Turkish coffee add one teaspoon of sugar per cup. Use 5-6g of coffee to 65ml of water.
To make the coffee, place one heaped teaspoon of coffee per cupful (just 65ml) of water into a small pan over a low heat. Add sugar to taste. Heat slowly, stirring gently until the sugar dissolves. When the coffee begins to froth, remove from the heat and pour a little of the froth into each cup and return to heat. Let the coffee rise once more - but without letting it come to the boil - and serve. Be careful not to stir after serving or you will disturb the sediment and the coffee will taste gritty. Each cup should be frothy and deliciously aromatic.

Different iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus have different processors
Apple unveiled the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus just last month to highly positive reception. While the demand for the product was expected to be much higher than before, a recent breakdown of the handsets has revealed that Apple apparently had to resort to dual-sourcing the A9 processor powering the smartphone in order to adequately meet demand.
As such, different models of the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus will offer different processors, produced using either Samsung’s 14nm fab or TSMC’s slightly larger design. The two processors perform generally the same under benchmarks but, according to some reports, one of them is far more efficient in terms of battery life.
Numerous accounts on forums are now indicating that the A9 chips produced by TSMC were able to get as much as 2 hours more of battery life when running stress tests. Although the results have been consistent, the stress test is not indicative of everyday usage. Battery stress tests simulate specific events, which may strain the two processors in different ways, thus leading to the disparity during tests, but leaving room for similar longevity in real world usage.
In order to find out which of the two processors is powering your device, you can download the Lirum Device Info Lite – System Monitor app, which gives a breakdown of the specifications of the device. If the processor was manufactured by Samsung, you should get N71AP or N66AP as the model number for the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, respectively, while the TSMC models are distinguished by an extra ‘M’, giving either N71MAP or N66MAP.


Photo gallery: Baseline League: Rancho Cucamonga vs. Glendora
GLENDORA - By all accounts, the Glendora High School football team appears on track for playoff contention in a bounceback 2012 season.
However, in the last two weeks it has witnessed the difference between playoff teams and championship contenders.
A week after a 21-point loss to Upland, the No. 3 team in the CIF-SS Inland Division, Glendora lost 45-13 to No. 6 Rancho Cucamonga defeat Thursday night at Citrus College.
Defending league champion Upland and Rancho Cucamonga (6-2, 2-1) both reached the CIF-SS Inland Division semifinals last season. Glendora (3-5, 1-2) is simply trying to make the playoffs for the first time since joining the Baseline League in 2010.
"I think sometimes in years past, we've plateaued early in the season," Rancho Cucamonga coach Nick Baiz said. "If we want to make a run at league and CIF, we need to keep getting better. I thought we played really well in the first half tonight."
Rancho Cucamonga cruised to a 38-7 halftime lead and finished with 442 yards of offense.
Cougars sophomore running back Kiraun Mayo rushed for 121 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 15 carries and Oregon State-committed receiver Jermel Walker had seven receptions for 171 yards, including a 72-yard touchdown.
The Cougars' star-studded defense allowed just 53 first-half yards and wasn't on the field for Glendora's only touchdown of the first two quarters, a 97-yard kickoff return by Cade Lindsey.
Lindsey, the Tartans' star running back who entered averaging 198 yards per game, was held to 82 yards on 19 carries, one of which was a 51-yard touchdown in the second half.
Glendora now has little room for error with games remaining against Etiwanda and Los Osos, the two teams that have claimed the third and final playoff spot the last two seasons.
"It's basically playoff time for us right now because we've got to win these next two football games," Glendora coach Jerry Lewallen said. "I'm proud of the progress this team has made to this point. We just played two excellent football teams."
Rancho Cucamonga quarterback Adam Friederichsen completed 14 of 24 passes for 234 yards, including the 72-yard touchdown pass to Walker for a 21-7 lead on the third play of the second quarter.
With a 28-7 lead following a fourth consecutive touchdown drive, Rancho Cucamonga needed just 25 seconds to balloon its lead to 35-7 after a 28-yard punt return by USC-bound cornerback Chris Hawkins set it up on the Glendora 41-yard line. Mayo carried 22 yards to the 1-yard line before plunging in for his second touchdown with 1:54 left in the first half.
The first of two Glendora turnovers, a shotgun snap that got past the quarterback, was converted into a Rancho Cucamonga 36-yard field goal as time expired in the first half for a 38-7 lead.

Greenpeace said John West’s owner, MW Brand, had backtracked on a public commitment to eliminate the use of controversial fishing methods.
Under a deal with WWF, MW Brand has pledged to source all its products from fisheries and farms certified by the Marine Stewardship Council or the Aquaculture Stewardship Council. It will also push for the elimination of illegal, unregulated or unreported fishing. WWF will assess the group’s supply chain to see how it can be made more sustainable over the next six months. But the deal does not set a time by when MW Brand will ensure its fish is sourced sustainably.
Previously, MW Brand promised Greenpeace that by the end of next year it would stop using a controversial fishing method that can kill sharks, rays and turtles. The purse seine method employs large nets which scoop up all kinds of ocean creatures attracted by floating rafts known as fish aggregation devices (FADs).
Last week, MW Brand went back on its pledge to stop using FADs and said it planned to use something it terms “eco-FADs” instead. “John West is reneging on its promise and our faith in the company has been demolished,” said Sarah North, head of oceans for Greenpeace. “This new deal is an attempt by John West to give a green spin to breaking their promise to go FAD free.”
WWF said that John West recognised it had to make changes, partly as a result of pressure from Greenpeace, and had brought in the conservation group to help it move in the right direction. “We want to work with businesses and we have the track record to show we can bring about change,” said Stuart Poore, director of corporate stewardship at WWF.
MW Brands said its No 1 priority was “the conservation of the marine environment and the protection of fish species. We are vehemently opposed to fishing practices that jeopardise threatened species or endanger non-target species.”

Paack: It raises 200 million euros by SoftBank to compete with DHL
The Startup uses advanced software and robotics, having a strong position in the Spanish market
An advanced-stage Startup, Paack developed an e-commerce delivery platform, combining sophisticated software and robotics for modern logistics operations.
The Startup has just raised 200 million euros in a Series D funding round, led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2. The new funds will be used for product development and the European expansion of the Startup.
Investors also included Infravia Capital Partners, First Bridge Ventures and Endeavor Catalyst, as well as Unbound, Kibo Ventures, Big Sur Ventures, RPS Ventures, Fuse Partners, Rider Global, Castel Capital and Iñaki Berenguer.
This new funding round comes after the successful – in terms of profitability – consolidation of its position in the domestic market of Spain, with the company aiming for similar results in all its European activities, such as in the United Kingdom, France and Portugal.
Paack, founded by Fernando Benito, Xavier Rosales and Suraj Shirvankar, delivers millions of orders each month from 150 customers worldwide, including the largest e-commerce retailers in Spain, and processes 10,000 parcels per hour and location.
The Startup’s systems integrate with their e-commerce websites, which means that consumers are able to customize their delivery schedule at checkout.
But given that, based on research by the World Economic Forum (WEF), the last mile delivery business is expected to grow by 78% by 2030, while at the same time causing nearly a third increase in CO2 emissions, Paack aims to deliver all parcels with zero carbon emissions, measuring environmental impacts and using electric vehicles for last mile deliveries. Now it is even seeking certification with the Carbon Trust and the United Nations.
Paack is currently using robots from the Chinese company GEEK, hoping that it will be able to compete with companies such as DHL, Instabox and La Poste in Europe, as well as expand its partnerships in the field of robotics. The company is also among the most promising Startups of Spain with the prospect of becoming a unicorn.

Over typically the past year, several people have came up to me asking me regarding my perspective, and the perspective of A new Course in Amazing things, on the popular guide and film The particular Secret. acim was in addition recently asked to participate in a specialist panel discussion on The Secret and the particular law of appeal at the Body Spirit Spirit Expo in Calgary.
As I see it, The key offers a several powerful and necessary global messages well worth appreciating.
The 1st message is the fact that our own thoughts have got a highly effective influence on this life. The next understanding is that all of us are entitled to some sort of wealthy life, despite the fact that true wealth is usually much more as compared to just cash plus “toys. ” As an alternative, it involves sensation fulfilled in most parts of life, which include our relationships, job, and health. What we need to do is look within to find out if, actually all of us feel worthy of traditional wealth.
Another information that is subtly conveyed in The Secret, and 1 that I consider to be correct, is that when we all have a honest desire and all of us say yes to doing our part to manifest the particular desire, synchronicities occur, and dormant makes come alive.
On the other hand, I feel the particular idea that a lot more “toys” in typically the form of automobiles, houses, jet jets, and boats could make us happy and will be the demonstration of our own capacity to express is potentially harming and crippling with regard to many people who will be already “bankrupt” inside the areas of self-love and self-appreciation. Typically the problem with this particular picture is that the wish for00 often arrives from a feeling of lack rather than a sense of completeness. And because with this, whatever we gain in expectations of feeling “full, ” whole, joyful, or accomplished, will certainly inevitably not work, since we really feel a void inside.
The truth is that people are not vacant, but already total, so when we realize and feel this specific to be our brand new reality, then the particular outer world starts to “echo” our own inner awareness.
A Course in Miracles gives a feel that to the degree that we all can accept in addition to be truly thankful for our inheritance to be an unbounded, abundant, whole, and unlimited Self, we will attract to be able to ourselves an ideal to the outside expressions of the believed inner worth. This particular reclaiming of our traditional Self will miraculously bring into manifestation any material items that will work the greater excellent of both our own life and associated with those around us all, and yet we are going to feel no habbit upon them for our happiness.
So, if you want to know and reside the Real Magic formula, find your Traditional Self, reclaim it-and your real gift of money will follow.

John Simmons is looking at buying a new gun, one slightly more suited to International Practical Shooting Confederation events.
“The gun I shoot is actually made for speed steel shooting, not IPSC, so I’m at a little bit of a disadvantage shooting that in the open division,” he said. “It’s an open gun, but it’s built a little more specifically for speed steel shooting. Some of these guys are shooting some pretty high tech stuff that’s a little bit better for IPSC.”
However, Simmon’s gun was on aim enough to put the Whitehorse shooter into the top half of his division at the 2011 IPSC Canadian National Championships over the weekend in Kingston, Ontario.
Competing in the open category, Simmons shot his way to 25th out of more than 65 of the country’s best. (Practical shooting is a timed event like speed shooting, but the marksman is required to move about obstacles to reach targets.) Simmons was the only Yukoner at the championships that hosted about 250 shooters.
“After shooting and seeing some of these guys, I thought, ‘I’m going to be way down there.’ I thought I’d be way down on the ladder,” said Simmons. “These guys have been doing this for years and years.
“Coming in 25th, I was actually pretty shocked.”
Breaking into the top-30 was no simple feat. Seven provinces entered “gold teams” of their top four practical shooters, plus there were two professional shooters from the US and Czech Republic.
“And there were a whole bunch of other guys, high ranked guys,” said Simmons. “These are good shooters. You don’t get to the nationals for nothing.
“I’m pretty impressed. When the results were out, and I was in the top 25, there were a lot of people that were surprised.”
Making his results all the more impressive is that the weekend’s nationals was just his sixth IPSC competition. While Simmons has won numerous Yukon championships for speed shooting, he is just in his second season of competing Outside the territory.
“Some of these guys get to shoot this kind of stuff every second weekend in southern Canada. I’m like a few times a year,” said Simmons. “It was a learning experience. I did really well on some stages … and some other stages I really tanked. On one of the stages I really tanked, I pushed beyond my abilities, I thought I could do it a certain way and I didn’t end up doing it. I had a couple misses on targets – that really costs you when you have a miss.”
While Simmons might have been a bit of an unknown in Kingston, Alaskan shooters know him well.
At the last two Alaska Speed Shooting Championships near Fairbanks, Simmons left his American counterparts dreading a head-to-head shoot-off with “the Canadian,” as he was often called.
At the championships in June, Simmons took first place in the open division and a second in the shoot-off, the reverse of his results the previous year.
At an IPSC qualifier event in Terrace, BC, in April, Simmons grabbed second place in the open class.
Simmons will be back competing on the range at the IPSCBC Provincials, BC’s championships, over the Labour Day weekend in Vancouver.
“I can tell you one thing, when people find out you’re from the Yukon, they are definitely interested in talking to you,” said Simmons. “They were shocked I’d come all the way from the Yukon to shoot.
“You get a few extra questions when people are talking to you.”

i guess i'm more anti feminatzie, maybe not... I'll explain myself a lil
I hate those girls who hate being girls, who frown on girls who try and look cute and get dolled up. Personally, I'm not very "girly" at all... I never took balet or anything and played with trucks, not barbies. Most of my friends are dudes, but I love getting my nails done and putting make-up on. And umm... shaving? That's just hygenic.
I also hate it when woman are like "I can open my own door thankyouverymuch". Chivalry is not an insult- it's a sign of respect because we are seen as givers of life. It doesn't make you weak to accept help from others.
I also consider myself anti-feminist because unlike many woman, I'd love to be a stay at home mom. I feel that biologically we are made to be maternal, and there is nothing wrong with that. I want to be the one to take care of the kids and let my husband take care of finances etc. I guess I'd enjoy being a modern day Mrs. Clever.
Anyways, I really just don't like a lot of females. I hope that doesn't offend you but that's my reasoning.
Definetly not offensive, I enjoy people's ideas and point of views. I, myself, am uncertain if I am pro feminist or anti. I definetly agree with you on the stay at home mom thing, but I guess feminists think it's cliched and they could do better? Idk, that's why I asked you. But I do think women should have the same rights as males, like you said, you played with trucks. Alot of women would be put down for such things. So, I guess I'm indifferent to the issue. Thanks for the response though, it helped me out and made me think.

Walt Disney World Resort’s neighboring theme park competitor, Universal Orlando Resort, is dropping big news as we’re learning the Minions from Universal’s Descpicable Me film series are taking over!
Universal Orlando is thriving as it continues to welcome Guests for new and exciting experiences at both of its Parks, including Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Florida.
While we know much of Disney’s competitor is focused on the construction of its third theme park, Epic Universe, the massive project isn’t stopping Universal from working to bring more excitement to its current Parks.
The big news was revealed that a new Minions-inspired attraction called “Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast” will be opening next year in the former Shrek 4D attraction building in Universal Studios Florida.
And just down the path from this new attraction, Universal has also revealed it will be transforming the nostalgic Monsters Cafe into Minion Cafe.
To the disappointment of Universal fans, Universal Orlando closed Monsters Cafe on May 13, 2022, with Universal reporting, “After more than 20 years of serving dreadfully-delicious quick-service menu offerings, Monster’s Café in Universal Studios Florida permanently closed in the spring of 2022 to make way for a new dining experience.”
Now, the big news has dropped that rumors of a Minions takeover have proven to be true.
@OrlandoInformer took to social media to share, “JUST ANNOUNCED: Monsters Café is being transformed into the Minion Café! It opens next year.”
Monsters Cafe was the home to props and artwork that celebrated the history of Universal’s eerie creatures and classic monsters such as Dr. Frankenstien, Wolfman, and The Mummy.
Not only were the props a highlight at the quick-service style restaurant, but Guests could order “Monster Combos,” which featured favorites like the Invisible Man (beef brisket), the Flying Saucer (cheese pizza), the Wolfman (BBQ chicken pizza), the Black Lagoon Salad, the Mummy (Vegan cooked jackfruit), and Supernatural Sides.
It is likely that Minion Cafe at Universal Studios Florida will be similar to the current Minion Cafe at Universal Studios Hollywood in California, which is described with:
“Despicably Delicious: A mischievous day spent in Super Silly Fun Land can work up quite an appetite. Luckily for you, a new dining location has arrived with an eclectic selection of sandwiches and more. Feast your eye(s) on some of the despicably delicious items you can enjoy at Minion Cafe!”
And yes, the Hollywood menu does have the Minions’ favorite…. BANANAS… with the yummy Nutella Banana Pudding.
Despite the excitement surrounding the Minion attraction, it seems like Universal fans prefer the Monsters Cafe over a Minion Cafe, as several tweet their disappointment:
Is the Minion push just a little too much for Universal fans?
One person tweets, “The decision making is mind-blowing… a staple to the Park for yet another awful despicable me attraction…” A response, however, backs Universal’s decision with, “If you saw the actual visitation numbers for Monsters Cafe, you’d understand.”
But, the negative comments outshine the positive ones.
Statements like, “Worst. News. Ever.”; “No one is happy to hear this”; “Nooooooooooooo”; and “Lame,” fill the feed.
We suspect with Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast attraction opening “Summer 2023,” the opening of Minion Cafe will follow the same timeframe.
As always, we will continue to keep Disney Dining readers updated as we learn more about this new eatery, Minion Cafe, just minutes from Walt Disney World’s gates.

The long-awaited showdown with Aaron Keener is finally upon The Division in the first expansion for Tom Clancy’s The Division 2. Warlords of New York takes players back to the Big Apple where the situation on the ground has changed significantly over the spring and summer. Paul Rhodes and Roy Benitez have split with Faye Lau and the Division. Rogue agents have risen in the ranks and now lead the reformed Cleaners and Rikers faction. The new expansion introduces the New York City map, a ten-level bump to the level cap, new equipment, a completely refreshed itemization system, and a transition to a season-based content system.
The Division 2: Warlords of New York’s plot is a bit of a disappointment. The build up to the inevitable showdown with Aaron Keener has been a long time coming but the conclusion falls flat. At this point, it feels like the writers are trying anything to keep the twists coming without any concern if it makes much sense. It isn’t entirely clear if the story is going down the path of a guilty pleasure or a train wreck, but it seems to be heading down the latter.
Warlords of New York coincides with the implementation of a slew of quality of life changes and a major overhaul of the loot system for all Division 2 players as part of Title Update 8. A lot of the changes were direly requested by players for months now. The biggest change without a doubt is the Gear 2.0 system. The stats and talents have been completely overhauled, simplifying the talents and improving the recalibration system. The changes make talents feel like they have more impact as flat stat buff talents have been merged into the item’s base stats. The recalibration system singlehandedly addresses the bank clutter problem with one swift strike as players no longer have to horde hundreds of items across several bank alts to keep rare talents and max attribute rolls. Players now extract those into their library and can apply them to as many items as they wish.
The quality of life changes are fantastic overall. Most are smaller fixes that address minor issues that have nagged the game from the start, like the inability quick travel to missions invaded by the Black Tusk. Other are a little more noticeable, like removing the intel cost for bounties and increasing the rate specialization points are awarded. The changes make the gameplay smoother and less of a hassle for the most part.
Warlords of New York introduces a new campaign, a revamped end game, and the season-based content system. The campaign itself is similar to the base game. It is a string of missions, with the longer ones being dungeons that can be replayed in full and smaller ones being revisited as possible bounty locations at a later time. The big difference is the more open-ended nature of the campaign as players are able to choose what order they wish to pursue Keener’s four lieutenants. The New York map is smaller than DC, but the mission design requires players to do a lot more exploring outdoors.
The revamped end game is where players will spend the bulk of their time. Progression has been lengthened with the SHD Watch that allows players to permanently increase their stats every time they level. This is a good replacement for the field proficiency caches that became useless after players completed their builds. The world difficulty can be increased like missions, which brings much needed challenge to the open world gameplay. More importantly, five modifiers have been added to the game. When enabled, these hobble the player in specific ways like removing their armour regeneration out of combat. In exchange, players get a sizable XP boost to their mission bonuses. These two changes go a long way in giving players some end game option outside of participating in raids.
Skill builds have always struggled in end game. Although Ubisoft Massive have made attempts to rebalance the issue, the Dark Hours raid proved the hardcore endgame was still tuned for weapon DPS builds. Part of the problem has been addressed with the major revamp to the skill system. The buffs and balances take a big bite out of untalented healing skills while significantly rewarding players who spend points into skill attributes. While this is a good step, the other half is creating content that requires a skill build or two in a team comp. Right now, a healer in the group is needed for end game content, especially as the difficult levels rise. The second half of the problem is how content is designed. The missions tend to be light on mechanics, which allow a certain degree of build agnosticism. The design of the next raids will be the big test for Ubisoft Massive’s implementation of the skill system. Unfortunately, Massive never released the promised second raid before Warlords of New York, and it was not included as part of the expansion.
Ever since Fortnite popularized the sea son-based strategy for monetizing games as a service, publishers and developers have been throwing their titles on the bandwagon. The Division 2 is the next title to get the treatment. No matter your opinion on season pass, almost everyone will agree it is better than the absolutely atrocious cosmetic events that ran for two to three weeks. The worst iteration of the event required players to grind levels in hopes of being lucky enough to be gifted a randomly awarded event chest for cosmetic items, with the final outfit being handed out for those willing to grind out the entire event. While things improved to a certain degree when chests were handed out every three levels, the event lengths seemed to shorten in comparison. The season pass system feels better balanced. Though the levels are more extensive, the 12-week limit feels more reasonable than the last couple of apparel events, and I found Ubisoft Massive’s estimation of 30 to 60 minutes per season pass level was correct.
Personally, I am not a huge fan of the Dark Zone. The concept works well, and I can see how many players enjoy it. I wander in there on occasion as it is still the best source of high-quality gear in a short period of time if players are willing to risk PVP. The Dark Zone changes are trying to drive players further towards PVP. Dark Zone currency and experience is now tuned as a PVP reward. PVE focused players are still given a hand as players can now see the rolls on their item so they can decide if its worth risking an extraction. The design is more like the original Division. At the end of the day, the changes will hopefully continue the trend of focusing the DZ experience as a PVP area versus one or two teams of min/maxed rogues curb stomping an entire map of PVE players trying to grind out gear quickly for their raid builds.
Warlords of New York has brought back four major neighbourhoods in New York City. Those of us who are only familiar with the city in pop culture will recognize some major landmarks, while other parts of the city will look a lot like DC. Compared to The Division 1, spring and the hurricane that supposedly happened earlier in the summer has changed the environment significantly. The Cleaners and the Rikers have also been given a makeover to mark the passage of time and the change in season. The entire look of the game has an eerie familiar yet not feeling that suits it well.
The audio experience has not changed significantly since the base game’s release. The sound effects and soundtrack are still an enjoyable listen. The voice acting is still solid, with the return of many familiar voices from the first game.
Tom Clancy’s The Division 2: Warlords of New York and Title Update 8 is a step in the right direction for The Division 2. It addresses a lot of the long-standing complaints to the game and adds a decent amount of much needed content for players to enjoy. While the new changes help breathe some life to the end game, it’s a shame that the long delayed second raid was not included in the expansion. As with the base game and the first Division, only time will tell how well the end game ages, but it’s a good start at least.

Pupils Impress at their Spring Concert
Culford Prep and Senior School combined to put on a feast of music in their Spring Concert at the end of term. The Senior Wind Band kicked off the evening with a dynamic performance of The Blues Brothers Revue.
This was followed by an equally compelling performance of Mission Impossible by the Prep Orchestra.
Chamber music abounded with Haydn from the Senior Piano Trio and Gershwin from the Senior Clarinet Quartet, whilst the Prep Flute Ensemble gave a beautiful account of The Skye Boat Song.
The star of the show was undoubtedly Catherine Howells (L5) who performed the mesmerising slow movement of Elgar’s ‘Cello Concerto in recognition of her having gained her Dip ABRSM diploma. Catherine has been supported by the Amber Trust for many years, whose aim is to help blind and partially-sighted young musicians achieve their full potential. A retiring collection raised £164.00 for this charity.
The musical diversity of the evening continued with the jazzing strings of Hot Club and the dulcet tones of the Senior Jazz Band. Prep Choir rounded off proceedings with three numbers including an exhilarating performance of the Status Quo classic Rocking All Over The World.
Well done to all the performers and thank you to everyone who joined us on the evening. Published: May 5 2017

A cohort study was performed of children started on the ketogenic diet for intractable epilepsy from 2000 to 2005 (n = 195). Children who developed kidney stones were compared with those without in terms of demographics, urine laboratory markers, and intervention with urine alkalinization (potassium citrate). Thirteen children (6.7%) developed kidney stones. The use of oral potassium citrate significantly decreased the prevalence of stones (3.2% vs 10.0%, P = .049) and increased the mean time on the ketogenic diet before a stone was first noted (260 vs 149 patient-months, P= .29). The prevalence of kidney stones did not correlate with younger age or use of carbonic anhydrate inhibitors (eg, topiramate or zonisamide) but trended toward higher correlation with the presence of hypercalciuria (92% vs 71%, P = .08). No child stopped the diet due to stones; in fact, the total diet duration was longer (median 26 vs 12 months, P < .001). Kidney stones continue to occur in approximately 1 in 20 children on the ketogenic diet, and no statistically significant risk factors were identified in this cohort. As oral potassium citrate was preventative, prospective studies using this medication empirically are warranted.

Cllr Kevin ‘Boxer’ Moran has asked the council to take another look at the Local Area Plan for Glasson, as councillors are still not happy with zoning for housing development in the area.
Cllr Moran feels there is scope for one-off housing in the Glasson area, which is not being catered for by the current plan.
“We haven’t done ourselves justice in making something happen in Glasson. We should put the plan back on display. One-off housing in an area like this would sell very well,” he said at the Athlone Municipal District on Monday (February 2 ).
Cllr John Dolan said such housing would tie in with the development of the whole region. “We have a great opportunity here; the village hasn’t been spoilt, and the services are there,” he said.
Councillors had previously discussed the possibility of providing ‘executive housing’ to cater for the staff of companies setting up in Athlone and surrounding areas; however the zoning they proposed was overruled last April by the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government.
Director of services Barry Kehoe told councillors there were no current plans to review the plan, which caters for the years 2014-2020, and that the zoning previously proposed by councillors to allow for housing development had been rejected.
“We do have a village plan for Glasson as part of the County Development Plan, but unfortunately the zoning the members envisaged was removed by ministerial direction, as it was inconsistent with national policy.
“It is a very small village of 150-200 people, and Government policy is that small villages should grow in a very slow way, with no housing estates. The members intended low density development... but the difficulty is once you zone land for housing development it is out of your hands and can end up with large scale housing development,” said Mr Kehoe.
“Don’t kick it to touch,” appealed Cllr Moran; however Mr Kehoe said the council could not now recommend something different to what the Minister had recommended.
Councillors also discussed the plans for the nearby Portlick Amenity Area at Monday’s meeting. The council has recommended segregating horse and pedestrian trails through the woods in the interest of public safety; however members were also concerned at the lack of plans so far to develop water sports and a playground at the amenity area.
Phase 2 of the plan is to come before the council in September, with works to take place next winter.

While many people claim to hate the rain, others will tell you that rain is a good thing. It waters gardens and crops, keeps the lawn soft and green, and cools off the Earth. By harvesting rainwater, you can capture these efficient effects of a good rain, even when it’s not falling from the sky. Here is everything you need to know about storing rainwater and reusing it in your in your garden.
In its simplest form, rainwater harvesting occurs when rain that falls onto your roof is collected by siphoning it into a large barrel. The water is then reused around the house, which helps you be a more cost-saving and self-sustaining homeowner.
Before getting started, check your state laws. In most places, it is legal to collect rainwater, but there are exceptions. Colorado does not allow rainwater harvesting, while other states, like Nevada and Oregon, have imposed limitations.
According Walden Labs, the average home roof can shower close to 600 gallons of water in 1 hour steady rainfall. If the rainwater collection is setup adequately, harvesters can collect nearly 80 percent of rain that hits their roof annually. Therefore, you need to determine how much space you have for a collection site and how much water is enough to care for your lawn and plants. Containers range from 55 gallon barrels to 10,000 gallon tanks. Once you’ve got that figured out, you’re ready to start building your rainwater collection system.
Building Your Collection System
The three main components to harvesting rainwater are catchment, transportation, and storage. A catchment is the surface the rain falls on, like a roof. Gutters are a perfect for transporting the water because they flow the water into a downspout, which hovers right over a barrel or other storage container. The concept is relatively simple, just make sure you aren’t missing any parts or pieces.
– Large barrel with faucet
– 2-4 concrete blocks
– Screen to keep out bugs and debris
– Overflow protection
First, sit the barrel on top of the concrete blocks. This makes the faucet more accessible and allows for more even water flow. Then, place the screen over the opening of the barrel to prevent leaves, insects, and other trash from polluting your water supply. Also, ensure that there is an overflow port to release excess water and doesn’t erode soil as it exits. It’s best to lay down pea gravel for adequate drainage. You could also link two barrels together so that the second barrel receives all excess water. When you’re ready to start collecting rain, redirect the downspout from your gutters so that it hovers over the opening to the barrel. It’s an easy, quick, and efficient way to save and reuse water on your property.
Using the Water
Once you have collected a stockpile of water, there are many ways to use it to benefit your garden and cut down on outside water use. An obvious use is to attach a garden hose to the barrel’s faucet and use the water to hydrate your plants or yard. To determine how much water your garden requires, assume that five gallons of water are needed per eight square feet. Not only can you use it on plants in your garden, but also in decorative elements like fountains or birdbaths.
Enjoying an evening bonfire? Use the rainwater to safely extinguish the flames. Have a pair of muddy boots? Don’t get out the hose, just use your stored water. When it comes to maximizing the amount of water you use and minimizing the costs of your utility bill, think outside the box. You can use rainwater to wash your car, spray off your porch or patio, or wash outdoor tools.
The tips offered here are best for beginner rainwater harvesters. Once you’ve mastered the basics for collecting rainwater, there are more complex systems that you could move on to.

New sports facility approved for South Buffalo next to chemical plant
Over objections from an adjacent major employer, the city Planning Board has approved construction of a sports field and large indoor field house in an industrial section of South Buffalo.
South Buffalo Development is planning the sports facility around 85 Lee Street, part of what was once a heavily contaminated chemical complex.
On one side is PVS Chemicals, which annually makes 200,000 tons of sulfuric acid supplied by 7,000 truckloads of chemicals. The company did not want the sports complex and the people who would come into the neighborhood.
The two sides could not reach an agreement on major changes in the layout of the facility, which will be rented to high school and college sports teams, with a mix of uses similar to Canisius College's Demske complex. The new facility is expected to become the home field for Medaille College.
"Your small inner-city colleges are landlocked. They have no place to go," said South Buffalo Development owner John Williams. "So what happens is they bus their students a long distance for practices and they lose class time because you're in the bus for 45 minutes or an hour, going to and coming from the practice. This field allows them to get back and forth within 15 or 20 minutes. So it's ideal and it really makes them more competitive from a scheduling standpoint because now they can add additional classes to schedules."
Williams said the facility also fits with the mixed urban feel of Buffalo.
"We're an industrial city, right? The coolest thing about Buffalo is that you're not in Amherst, right?" said South Buffalo Development owner John Williams. "You're in this urban area that's active and it has industry and commercial and restaurants and hotels and it's fun. I'll tell you, people who come to RiverWorks, you see them sitting on the street, watching the trains and the boats because you never see that."
PVS lawyer Corey Auerbach said the company is studying what it might do legally, although the plant will continue its 130-year-old manufacturing operations with 50 highly-paid workers.
"Certainly, PVS will explore whatever the options are that are available to them," said Auerbach. "It's unfortunate that the applicant was unwilling to work with his neighbor to improve the project, and if people want to enjoy outdoor recreation on top of a contaminated site in the shadow of a sulfuric acid manufacturing plant, the Planning Board has now given them the authority to do that."

The world of cured meats offers a diverse selection of flavors and textures, and among these delectable options are hard salami and genoa salami. As two popular variants of the Italian delicacy, both hard and genoa salami boast unique characteristics that have contributed to their enduring popularity. This article ventures into the world of hard salami and genoa salami to help differentiate between the two and appreciate the culinary expertise that goes into making them.
Hard salami, a dry sausage of European origin, undergoes an extensive fermentation process to develop a firm texture and a strong, unmistakable flavor. With roots in Central and Eastern Europe, its distinct taste is attributed to the use of garlic, peppercorns, and other spices in its preparation. In contrast, genoa salami, which hails from the coastal region of Genoa in Italy, is characteristically moist and tender, with a milder flavor profile. The use of garlic, red wine, and select spices combine to give genoa salami a more delicate yet appealing taste.
Throughout this article, the ingredients, aging processes, and serving suggestions for both hard and genoa salami will be discussed and compared. As we explore the complexities of these two popular cured meats, the reader will gain a deeper understanding of their culinary significance and unique flavors, enhancing their enjoyment of these delicious Italian staples.
Hard Salami Vs Genoa Salami: Origins and Types
Origins of Hard Salami
Hard salami originates from Central Europe and has been a popular food item for centuries. The production of hard salami involves a careful process of fermenting, drying, and curing the meat, which usually comes from pork or beef. The curing process lasts for several weeks to months, and it is during this time that the distinct flavor of hard salami develops.
Some well-known types of hard salami include:
- Hungarian Salami: Originating from Hungary, it is characterized by its medium to coarse texture and mild garlic flavor.
- Soppressata: This Italian variation is typically made from coarser cuts of meat and comes in both hot and mild versions.
- Cervelat: Popular in Germany and Switzerland, this type of hard salami is made from a mix of pork and beef, and has a smooth texture.
Origins of Genoa Salami
Genoa salami is a type of salami originating from the Genoa region in Italy. The production process for this salami is similar to that of other European salamis, involving fermentation, drying, and curing. The primary difference between Genoa salami and other salamis is the use of specific spices and seasonings that give it its unique flavor profile.
Some notable characteristics of Genoa salami include:
- Use of pork meat
- Flavorful blend of seasonings, including garlic, black pepper, and red wine
- Finer texture compared to some other salami types
In summary, both hard salami and Genoa salami have origins in Europe, with hard salami hailing from Central Europe and Genoa salami specifically from the Genoa region in Italy. While their production processes are similar, the differences in seasonings and textures set these two types of salami apart.
Main Ingredients and Preparation
Ingredients in Hard Salami
Hard salami, also known as dry salami, is a type of cured sausage that typically consists of a mixture of meats. It is commonly made with:
The primary seasonings and flavor enhancers used in hard salami include:
In addition to these ingredients, lactic acid bacteria are introduced to ferment the meat, which results in a firm, dry texture. The sausage is then stuffed into a casing, and the curing process begins. The salami is typically aged for an extended period, with the moisture content reduced to achieve a dense consistency.
Ingredients in Genoa Salami
Genoa salami, originating from the Italian region of Genoa, is a specific type of cured sausage that primarily contains:
The most distinctive flavor components of Genoa salami are:
This salami variety is also fermented, utilizing lactic acid bacteria for fermentation. However, it often has a slightly milder, sweet taste compared to hard salami. Genoa salami typically includes a higher percentage of fat, which contributes to its soft and moist texture.
In both hard and Genoa salami preparation, sodium is used in the curing process to enhance flavor and ensure the preservation of the meat. Lean parts of the meat are used, and carbohydrates are generally not included in the recipes.
During the curing process, some salamis may also be smoked, adding an additional layer of flavor to the final product. The combination of spices, herbs, and other ingredients in both hard and Genoa salami contribute to their unique, satisfying tastes, with hard salami offering a pronounced kick, while Genoa salami leans towards a sweeter profile.
Curing and Fermentation Process
Hard Salami Curing and Fermentation
Hard salami undergoes a precise curing and fermentation process. It begins with a mixture of coarsely ground meat, usually beef and pork, with added spices such as garlic powder, salt, and pepper. The mixture is then stuffed into a casing and hung in a controlled environment to begin the fermentation process.
During fermentation, the temperature is generally maintained between 70°F and 90°F, with a humidity level of 85-90%. This high temperature and humidity promote the growth of beneficial bacteria, which convert the sugar in the meat into lactic acid. This acid lowers the pH, creating an inhospitable environment for harmful bacteria and aiding in the preservation process.
The next phase is the drying process, which involves reducing the temperature to around 50-60°F and lowering the humidity to 65-75%. This step helps to achieve the desired moisture and protein ratio, crucial for the development of hard salami’s distinct texture and flavor. The entire curing and fermentation process can take anywhere from 30 to over 100 days, depending on the desired outcome.
Genoa Salami Curing and Fermentation
Genoa salami, made primarily from pork, follows a similar curing and fermentation process as hard salami, with some differences in the seasoning and drying phases. The meat mixture includes spices, such as garlic, pepper, and sometimes wine, which give Genoa salami its unique taste.
In the fermentation stage, Genoa salami is kept at a slightly lower temperature than hard salami, around 68-75°F, with a humidity level of 85-90%. This environment encourages the growth of necessary bacteria for fermentation while maintaining the desired moisture.
During the drying phase, the temperature is reduced to 50-60°F, and the humidity is lowered to 65-75%, similar to the hard salami process. The drying time for Genoa salami is typically shorter than that of hard salami, taking around 20 to 40 days.
The curing and fermentation methods for both hard and Genoa salami contribute to their distinct flavors and textures. Specific variables such as temperature, humidity, and seasonings play crucial roles in developing each salami’s unique characteristics.
Distinctive Flavor Profiles
Hard Salami Flavor Profile
Hard salami is known for its robust, savory flavor that is often more pronounced than other types of salami. A key aspect of its unique taste comes from the spice mix used during production, which typically includes coriander and black pepper. Coriander offers a subtle citrus note that complements the meat while black pepper provides a touch of heat to enhance the overall experience.
In addition to the spices, the flavor of hard salami is also influenced by the fermentation and aging process. The use of white wine, such as Pinot Noir, in this stage adds a subtle sweetness to the taste, helping to balance out the robust flavors of the cured meat.
Key flavor aspects of hard salami:
- Robust, savory taste
- Coriander and black pepper spice mix
- Subtle citrus notes from coriander
- Heat from black pepper
- Sweetness from white wine used in fermentation
Genoa Salami Flavor Profile
Genoa salami, on the other hand, showcases a more delicate and sweeter flavor profile compared to hard salami. One of the primary differences in taste comes from the use of red wine, rather than white wine, during the fermentation process. This imparts a richer and fruitier flavor to the finished product.
The spice mix used in Genoa salami can also include a combination of coriander and black pepper, but it generally has less spice kick than hard salami. As a result, the flavors of the cured meat are more pronounced and better balanced with the spices.
Key flavor aspects of Genoa salami:
- Delicate, sweet taste
- Richer, fruitier flavor from red wine
- Balanced spice mix of coriander and black pepper
- Less pronounced spice kick compared to hard salami
- Prominent cured meat flavors
Calories and Macronutrients
Both hard salami and Genoa salami are similar in their macronutrient profiles. They are quite high in fat and protein:
The caloric difference between the two types of salami is mainly due to the slightly higher fat content in hard salami, while Genoa salami contains a marginally higher amount of protein.
Sodium and Cholesterol
Sodium and cholesterol levels are notable aspects of both hard and Genoa salami’s nutritional profiles:
Hard salami tends to have a slightly lower sodium content compared to Genoa salami. However, its cholesterol level is marginally higher.
Both salamis are processed meats, which means that they contain relatively high amounts of sodium due to the inclusion of salt and other preservatives. This is important to keep in mind for those who need to monitor their sodium intake.
Texture and Appearance
Hard Salami Texture and Appearance
Hard salami, as its name suggests, has a firm texture due to the long drying process it undergoes. The drying process results in a denser, drier sausage with lower moisture content compared to Genoa salami. Consequently, hard salami has a higher protein-to-moisture ratio. When sliced, it reveals an even distribution of fat and lean meat, usually in a fine-grained pattern.
The appearance of hard salami is typically dark red, sometimes with a whitish mold on the outer casing. This mold is harmless and contributes to the distinct flavor of the salami. Once cut, the interior showcases specs of white fat against the red meat backdrop, giving it an attractive marbled look.
Genoa Salami Texture and Appearance
Genoa salami has a softer and more pliable texture compared to hard salami. This is due to its higher moisture content and shorter drying time. Its protein-to-moisture ratio is also lower than that of hard salami, which results in a more supple consistency.
When it comes to appearance, Genoa salami exhibits a lighter color, ranging from pinkish-red to deep red, depending on the spices and curing process. The fat distribution is more randomized and larger in size, creating a distinct marbled pattern that contrasts with the fine grain of the hard salami.
Both hard and Genoa salami have unique textures and appearances that cater to different preferences in taste and presentation. Their firmness and moisture content are key factors that distinguish them, offering a variety of options for charcuterie boards, sandwiches, and other culinary creations.
Pairings and Serving Suggestions
Hard Salami Pairings
Hard salami, with its firm texture and bold flavor, pairs well with a variety of cheeses, crackers, and accompaniments. A popular choice for charcuterie boards, hard salami goes well with:
- Semi-hard cheeses like cheddar or gouda
- Grainy or Dijon mustard
- Pickles and olives
In addition to being a great choice for a charcuterie board, hard salami also complements other cured meats like pepperoni, soppressata, and capicola. When paired with crusty bread and a glass of full-bodied red wine, these combinations create a delightful snack or appetizer.
For a unique twist, consider adding a sprinkle of ground coriander on top of the hard salami to enhance its flavor profile.
Genoa Salami Pairings
Genoa salami, known for its smooth texture and mild flavor, offers a more delicate taste compared to hard salami. Its subtle flavor allows it to blend well with a wider range of cheeses, breads, and accompaniments. Some suggested pairings for Genoa salami include:
- Soft, creamy cheeses like brie or camembert
- Fig jam or honey for a hint of sweetness
- Fresh fruit, such as grapes or sliced apples
Genoa salami also works well alongside other cured meats, making it a versatile option for a charcuterie board. Consider including soppressata or capicola to create a diverse meat selection. Pairing Genoa salami with a light-bodied red or white wine helps to balance its rich flavors.
To add an extra layer of flavor, try incorporating a touch of coriander to enhance the salami’s natural spices.

The economic crisis triggered by the Covid-19 virus weighed heavily on public finances in 2020, with the budget deficit increasing sharply to 7.6 percent of GDP against 4.1 percent in 2019, Morocco’s central bank (Bank Al-Maghrib) underlines in its 2020 annual report.
The Treasury’s debt ratio worsened by 11.6 points to 76.4 percent of GDP. This change reflects a drastic fall in tax resources following the contraction in economic activity and an upsurge in spending, mainly on investment, according to the report which was presented Saturday to HM the King by the Bank’s Governor Abdellatif Jouahri.
The impact on the budget has been greatly mitigated by the creation, upon Royal Instructions, of a special fund for the management of the pandemic, which has raised 34.6 billion dirhams, two thirds of which were collected through a wave of solidarity from businesses and households, the source adds. To cope with the sharp increase in its financing needs, the Treasury has, in addition to increasing its fundraising on the domestic market, resorted massively to external resources, for a record amount of 62.9 billion dirhams, including 37.5 billion through two bond issues on the international financial market.
Such operations have required removing the ceiling of external financing initially set by the 2020 Finance Law at 31 billion dirhams. In addition, in order to strengthen foreign currency assets, and as a preventive measure, the authorities drew on the IMF’s precautionary and liquidity line for around 3 billion dollars put at the disposal of the central bank. In view of this crisis, the government was prompted to draft an Amending Finance Law (AFL) in July, the first since 1990, the source recalls, adding that this law marked a sharp downward revision of the growth outlook, adjusted resources, re-prioritised certain expenditures and revised the budget deficit target from 3.7 percent to 7.5 percent of GDP.
