Risk of Rain 2 is a roguelike third-person shooter developed by Hopoo Games and published by Gearbox Publishing. It was later released for Google Stadia on September 29, 2020.Microsoft Windows, Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One On August 20, 2020, the game officially left Early Access with its 1.0 update. On August 30, 2019, the game was released for all consoles. Ī Nintendo Switch version was announced August 19, 2019, during an Indie World Presentation. The early access period lasts for about a year, with three priorities working for the full release: more content (10 characters, 10 stages, 12 bosses, and more than 100 items), a true ending and boss fight, and polish. This immediately launched the game into top three most played games on Steam. The game and the early access were announced during Gearbox's Pax East livestream, which had over 200 000 viewers at the time. On March 28th 2019, this version launched on Steam, published by Gearbox Publishing. Hopoo Games anticipated the release of the game into early access in early 2019. Matchmaking allows the player to search for open games, while private matches and split-screen play are also available. The multiplayer mode adds improvements using Steam peer-to-peer connectivity, as port-forwarding made the originals multiplayer needlessly difficult. The Wisps, both Lesser and Greater, now fly and fire at the player from above. For instance, monsters now usually sport a ranged attack of some sort, such as the Lemurians fireball or the Golems laser. The shift from 2D to 3D has left a mark on their abilities. Some monsters from Risk of Rain are returning for the sequel, while others make their debut. They finally got to relearn everything before the creation of new games. The game uses the Unity engine, and Hopoo had to learn developing 3D worlds from scratch. This eventually led to a 3D approach for the game. However, the desire to display collected items on the player would have proven difficult using 2D sprites. In an interview with PC Gamer, Duncan Drummond explained that the sequel was going to be a 2D game as well, with the player controlling the monsters from the first game. Hopoo Games announced in May 30th, 2017 that they had been working on Risk of Rain 2, the sequel of the first title, for about the last 6 months.

Under the orders of the ship's Captain, a ragtag group of mercenaries are sent to the surface via drop pods and shuttles before quickly finding themselves overwhelmed by the planet.Īs a rogue-like, every run of the game will be different with the environments, monsters, bosses, items and much more being randomly generated. In search of the remains of the UES Contact Light, along with any potential survivors, the UES Safe Travels is dispatched to Petrichor V. The game is set an indeterminate amount of time after the events of the original game. The player takes on the role of a character tasked with surviving on a hostile alien planet, traveling through teleporters, while collecting items to aid them in their journey. It was also released for Google Stadia on September 29, 2020.Īs a sequel to the original game, much of the gameplay is similar, but in a brand new 3D perspective.

Currie was the head of the centipede and the children became the body and the twenty pairs of legs. We had the opportunity to act out the movements of a centipede … we took all twenty of our Montessori students outside and blindfolded them in a line behind Clarian. The children really enjoyed using the magnifying glasses to look at their friends and see their giant eyes and noses … I wish I had brought my camera that day! To make the learning more concrete, we became bug explorers outside and all had a chance to investigate insects up close with a variety of magnifying glasses. We have been classifying and sorting creatures and the children have learned that an insect has an exoskeleton, no backbone, six legs, three body parts (head, thorax, abdomen) and that all insects start from a tiny egg. We have also been exploring the wonderful world of bugs, and the children have been fascinated learning facts about a variety of different insects. The children take great pride in learning new terms, especially when the words have five syllables! The other day, we had a child comment on the water in Monty’s fish bowl and how it has “evaporated.” Just today one of the children commented on how much “precipitation” is coming down from the clouds. The water cycle has continued to be a popular topic, and the children really seem to be understanding the concept and using the terms in context. Spring is always a wonderful time of year to help children feel connected with nature and to instill in them an appreciation for the amazing world in which we live! What an exciting month we've had exploring metamorphosis, flowers, the water cycle and insects. Also when I search places, one will say it’s 10 minutes out of the way while the other says only a few. And no it wasn’t a new business, it had been around for years. When I search along the route it will sometimes not come up with any search results, only for me to pass the very thing I searched for prior in my drive. This hasn’t changed in the decade+ I’ve been using the app. Google Maps consistently underestimates travel time when you select “leave by” reminders by a good 15-20%. I know how bad traffic is on certain days and times where I live. 5) poor judge of traffic delays based on historic data. You can get caught up in a 30 minute delay of traffic and there are alternative routes available and it will not offer them. 4) very reluctant to offer alternative routes. Again, not something that you should have to sort out when on the road. You need to back up and re-set “your location” again and then ask for directions to get the original route to reappear. If you have the “correct” route you’ve been following and say halfway there your carplay connection gets interrupted for whatever reason google maps will not display the route you were on, it will offer longer routes. 3) connection interruption with Car Play screws up the routing. STOP IT! Why is this changing? Why do I need to find out my voice commands have been shut off yet again? I don’t need to try to sort this out after I’m on the road. (Boo) 2) each update seems to mute alerts. 1) If you submit a correction to the map (ie no left turn at an intersection), the change is adopted (yay) but then gets changed back to the erroneous display at a later update.

Individual members can contribute to the boost at their discretion for $4.99 a month, or a server owner can purchase every boost needed for a discounted price. You can achieve three levels of enhancement with server boosts, and a server needs 14 boosts to unlock them all. Additional functionality in boosted servers includes extra custom emote slots, custom invite links, and improved messaging and video quality. Server boosts enhance a specific server rather than give more functionality to a particular user. The other way to upgrade is by boosting a server. Discord Nitro costs $9.99 a month or $99.99 for the full year. This is for individual users, and it allows them to use global Discord emotes, send longer messages, and join more servers. One is by purchasing a Discord Nitro subscription. The best thing about Discord is that the free version includes everything you need to run a successful server. Discord’s free platform provides the ability to video conference with up to 25 users. Discord never entirely deletes messages, so you can find old conversations whenever you need them.Īlthough Slack’s free version does offer one-on-one video conferencing, it doesn’t offer group video calls or the ability to share your screen. After two weeks, the free version of Slack archives messages, and only members who have paid for the premium service can access these messages. Two main features that are free in Discord but require Slack premium are video conferencing and saving messages. You can do everything you need to do in Discord without paying anything extra, whereas basic functionality that teams might need is lost with the free version of Slack. The free version of Discord beats the free version of Slack in terms of functionality. This helps keep the text chat organized for easy access to specific information. In each app, the server owners or their designated representatives have the ability to create topic-specific channels and limit each channel to users with specific roles. Slack is a little more user-friendly, and it only shows the server you are currently working in, which limits distractions. You can create group chats, separate chat rooms, and various channels for chatting with your friends or coworkers in both applications, and the basic layouts are the same. Basic functionalityīoth Slack and Discord offer free basic chat features. However, there are pros and cons to each app, and the specifics might help you decide which is better for your organization. Discord has more opportunities for fun and engagement, so it tends to be better for non-businesses and companies trying to develop a “fun” corporate culture. Overall, Slack is sleeker and more professional, so it’s better for corporate businesses with an emphasis on professionalism. Deciding which to use is dependent on your needs and the goals of your organization. To help you determine which messaging app will be best for your team, we will break down the differences between Discord and Slack, compare their basic features, and discuss the costs and features of each app’s premium versions. Here is the ultimate breakdown of the two apps to help you determine which one will better meet your organization’s needs. Discord debate and settle upon one of the messaging services for their team. Many organizations have to ponder the implications of the great Slack vs. Although there are many apps designed for messaging and collaboration, the two big ones that most companies consider are Slack and Discord. As many companies look towards the future of remote work, they are turning to messaging apps as a tool to stay connected. In February 2015, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control isolated Listeria as part of routine sampling from Blue Bell brand single-serving ice cream products collected from a distribution center: Chocolate Chip Country Cookie Sandwiches and Great Divide Bars. The people with illness onsets during 2010–2014 were identified through a retrospective review of the PulseNet database for DNA fingerprints matching isolates collected from Blue Bell ice cream samples. Illness onset dates ranged from January 2010 through January 2015. Several PFGE patterns (strains) of Listeria were involved in this outbreak.Ī total of 10 people infected with several strains of Listeria were reported from 4 states: Arizona (1), Kansas (5), Oklahoma (1), and Texas (3). PulseNet manages a national database of these DNA fingerprints to identify possible outbreaks of enteric illness. WGS gives a more detailed DNA fingerprint than PFGE. DNA “fingerprinting” is performed on Listeria bacteria isolated from ill people using techniques called pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and whole genome sequencing (WGS). PulseNet is the national subtyping network of public health and food regulatory agency laboratories coordinated by CDC. Public health investigators used the PulseNet system to identify illnesses that were part of this outbreak. This was a complex multistate outbreak investigation of listeriosis cases occurring over several years. Food and Drug Administration released the findings from recent inspections at the Blue Bell production facilities in Brenham, Texas Cdc-pdf External Broken Arrow, Oklahoma Cdc-pdf External and Sylacauga, Alabama Cdc-pdf External. These products are frozen, so consumers, institutions, and retailers should check their freezers. This is especially important for people at higher risk for listeriosis. Consumers should not eat any recalled Blue Bell brand products, and institutions and retailers should not serve or sell them.On April 20, 2015, Blue Bell Creameries voluntarily recalled External all of its products currently on the market made at all of its facilities, including ice cream, frozen yogurt, sherbet, and frozen snacks.Three deaths were reported from Kansas (3). A total of 10 people with listeriosis related to this outbreak were reported from 4 states: Arizona (1), Kansas (5), Oklahoma (1), and Texas (3). People at high risk for listeriosis include pregnant women and their newborns, adults 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems.
Me? I’m off to better things and say thanks as always for your readership. Trying to understand the meaning of “Saldo”? We’ve covered that before and you can check out here if you have another moment. The Prisoner Wine Company’s tasting lounge on Highway 29 in St. Saldo is sourced from AVAs that include Dry Creek, the Sierra Foothills, Sonoma Valley, Mendocino, and Lodi winemaker Jen Beloz (formerly of Ravenswood) selects fruit from Mattern, Aparicio, Teldeschi, Grist, Taylor, and Bismark Mountain Vineyard for this Saldo zinfandel blend. My newfound appreciation for this scene can largely be credited to the Prisoner Wine Company and its brand Saldo. Their 2017 California Zinfandel is actually a combination of zinfandel (85%) and a petite sirah / syrah blend (15%), aged in both French and American oak barrels (25% new).

TASTING NOTES: This wine plays up bold berries and wood nuances in its aromas and flavors. Let us touch on the blend-because if you follow PWC like I do you know the wine is never a straight-up single vineyard, one varietal bottle. COMMENTARY: The 2018 Prisoner Wine Company Saldo Zinfandel is robust, extracted, and long-lasting. It’s created a new wine brand Saldo and all I can say is Salute Saldo hit the market in late September with two California red wines a Saldo Zinfandel (red label) and a Saldo Red Blend (blue label) and now they’re here for the holidays and beyond. Given the grapes used to create Saldo you’ll understand if I consider this as much as red blend as I do many of the zinfandels covered here in this blog. Saldo is a new red blend from The Prisoner Wine Co. Do you see why I thought it might accompany the chicken dish? The wine has a good mouthfeel it’s substantive and rich but very smooth overall. 2021 Vintage- Dark ruby color with bold aromas of black licorice, black pepper, cherry, and baking spice. Expected delicacy and softness in the mouthfeel are balanced by just enough acidity to refresh the palate and leave you wanting more. Yes, it’s a robust red that has notes of pepper and cherry (not really blackberry, black currant, or strawberry here) readily available, and little spice accents as well. I erred just a bit on the coconut milk used to offset the heat, but good wine helped overcome that oversight.Īnd the 2017 Saldo answers the bell. This Zinfandel wine is proudly 93-rated by experts and produced by The Prisoner Wine Company. The dish packs in onions, garlic, ginger, paprika, and curry, so the wine has to have enough legs to hold up to the Indian spices. Buy The Prisoner Wine Company Zinfandel Saldo 750ml Red wine.

Many victims never find out about the images, but even those who do may struggle to get law enforcement to investigate or to find funds to pursue legal action, Galperin said. “You see it among high school children and people who are in college.” “We are seeing more and more of this being done by ordinary people with ordinary targets,” said Eva Galperin, director of cybersecurity at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Non-consensual pornography of public figures has long been a scourge of the internet, but privacy experts are growing concerned that advances in AI technology have made deepfake software easier and more effective. Describing one of the undressing apps, he said, “If you take them at their word, their website advertises that it has more than a thousand users per day.” “They are doing a lot of business,” Lakatos said. In addition to the rise in traffic, the services, some of which charge $9.99 a month, claim on their websites that they are attracting a lot of customers. We’ve reviewed the ads in question and are removing those that violate our policies.” Neither X nor Reddit responded to requests for comment. Because they are open source, the models that the app developers use are available for free.Ī Google spokesperson said the company doesn’t allow ads “that contain sexually explicit content. The rise in popularity corresponds to the release of several open source diffusion models, or artificial intelligence that can create images that are far superior to those created just a few years ago, Graphika said. Its proliferation runs into serious legal and ethical hurdles, as the images are often taken from social media and distributed without the consent, control or knowledge of the subject. These apps are part of a worrying trend of non-consensual pornography being developed and distributed because of advances in artificial intelligence - a type of fabricated media known as deepfake pornography. The services use AI to recreate an image so that the person is nude. For instance, since the beginning of this year, the number of links advertising undressing apps increased more than 2,400% on social media, including on X and Reddit, the researchers said. Many of these undressing, or “nudify,” services use popular social networks for marketing, according to Graphika. Alongside the release of the update, Apple has set out lots more details about spatial video capture on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. With big new features like Journal and so many smaller details, this is a big update.ĭecember 12 update. MORE FROM FORBES Apple iPhone iOS 17 NameDrop Causes Security Panic: Should You Be Worried? By David Phelanĭefault notifications sounds can be customized to a greater degree-something previously restricted to texts, mail and calendar alerts. There’s also Qi2 charger support for the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14, which haven’t had it until now. Similar to NameDrop (which is entirely secure, despite the furor that arose last week about it), you can now share boarding passes or movie tickets just by bringing two iPhones together. Typing messages, or anything else, is updated so you can turn off predictions inline, although personally I love that feature. There are improvements to Messages, including body shape customization in your Memoji, stickers to add to messages as reactions, and security improvements to protect against spyware. You can now set it to Translate, making it easy to have conversations in foreign languages without even having to open an app. These videos will play back in 3D on the headset-I’ve seen these videos on the headset, and they look amazing-but just regular 2D on the iPhone.Īlso on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max only, there’s a new shortcut for the Action button, which replaced the Mute/Ring slider of previous iPhones. With this update you can shoot spatial video on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Talking of integration, with this release Apple AAPL has added the capability to shoot video in a particular way that will integrate with Apple’s next big product category, the Apple Vision Pro headset. It’s designed to help improve your wellbeing and is stunningly integrated into the iPhone, all securely encrypted to help your private entries stay for your eyes only. Chief among these is the new Journal app, which helps you write about the stuff that’s happening to you. Unlike the last couple of updates, which were all about bug fixes and security measures, iOS 17.2 has lots of new features as well as the customary bug-squishing effects.
