Torontoist has been acquired by Daily Hive

In 2008, a few friends in Vancouver recognized that a voice was missing from reporting in our country. National news was increasingly international in nature. Provincial was disappearing. And, local seemed out of touch with its audience. So, they started writing the kind of content they wanted to read. Hyperlocal stories aimed at helping people […]

Does Renters Insurance Cover Storage Units?

When you buy renters insurance, you probably have one primary reason for making that purchase: you want to protect your belongings. Renters don’t have to worry about rebuilding their homes after a disaster, but that doesn’t mean fires, theft and other perils can’t impact their belongings. Fortunately, renters insurance gives you a way to protect your furniture, clothes and electronics. Thanks to off-premises coverage, your policy can extend to your belongings even when they are not at your rental. Still, […]

Reduce Your Impact With Our Car Emissions Guide and Calculator

What kind of impact do you have on the environment? According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a typical passenger vehicle emits 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. One ton is equivalent to a balloon that’s about 30 feet in diameter, so if you were to visualize the metric tons emitted per person per year, picture a balloon 138 feet in diameter. We created a car emissions calculator to help you understand how you’re directly impacting the […]

Tornado Insurance: What Does It Cover and Do I Need It?

Tornadoes can happen in any state in the U.S., and with more than 1,200 occurring annually, they are not uncommon. If you live in Texas, Kansas, Florida, Oklahoma, or Nebraska — the five top states for tornadoes — be sure your homeowners insurance has tornado coverage.  Even if you don’t live in a state where tornadoes are common, it’s worth noting that the only state that hasn’t had at least one tornado in the past decade is Alaska. No matter […]

Restorative justice

Restorative Justice is a process of dialogue between two parties; in the context of criminal justice social work this will be a victim (or person harmed) and an offender (one who has caused harm).

Statutory criminal justice social work in Edinburgh is a service aimed at reducing reoffending and protecting the public through evidence based interventions. The development of a restorative justice service for those on statutory orders is a new and progressive approach to tackling reoffending.

In this episode Iriss.fm speaks to Ciara Webb, who is a practitioner involved the service and who has recently completed research on the topic of restorative justice in partnership with University of Edinburgh. She tells us more about the research and plans for practice.

Мацуно хочет вернуться к Vagrant Story

Мацуно сейчас продолжает работать с ЁСидой над фф14: в конце сюжетки Return to Ivalice была зацепка на будущее: там появлялся имперский командир Габрант. Сейчас это ружьё выстрелило: сюжетку релик-оружия из Shadowbringers пишет Мацуно, и она про Ноа Башевича Габранта. Я сам не возвращался ещё в фф14 после того, как этот патч вышел, так что ничего сказать не могу - но там явно лучше дождаться выхода всей сюжетки, чтобы оценивать. Арка Return to Ivalice была крутой.

Тем интереснее, что Мацуно пытался вернуться в Ивалис до того, как в 17-м году его взял к себе Ёсида. Решив узнать в твиттере, как западная аудитория относится к Save the Queen, его новой сюжетной арке из фф14, Мацуно разоткровенничался.

По его словам, использованная в этой арке концепция "разум обманывает себя, чтобы справляться с травмой" изначально предлагалась для продолжения Vagrant Story, которое Мацуно придумал в 2002-м и предложил Скваре в 2013-м.




Я просто хочу напомнить, что кроме команды фф14, у Сквари сейчас нет толковых сценаристов)

    Ace Attorney Zoom Backgrounds

    As even lawyers now work from home, and trials are now held via Zoom, I guess it would only be appropriate if they had a background that’s related to their job. And what background would that be other than the courtroom? But even if you’re not a lawyer, you can still use these Zoom backgrounds released last week by Capcom’s Ace Attorney, via Twitter. You can use the 2D background from the original trilogy, or opt for the 3D one from the more recent games.

    Take that! And no objections, please.
