Flair stalked her prey and continued going after Banks’ leg. With the match tied after the 30 minutes expired, referee Chad Patton made the decision to go into sudden death overtime. That’s an important part of why I didn’t have a huge issue with the timing of it. Yeah, it was a poor camera angle that showed Banks clearly staring at the clock to see how much time was left, but Flair did a great job at bridging the move and seemingly giving Banks no choice but to tap given the added pressure to her leg in those three seconds. Eventually, Flair locked it in and Banks tapped out with three seconds remaining, tying the match, 2-2. With about four and a half minutes remaining, Flair targeted Banks’ left knee and began setting up for her patented Figure Eight leglock. Flair tapped out with 6:03 remaining, giving the defending champion a 2-1 lead. Flair missed a moonsault, and Banks locked in the Bank Statement. Flair started insulting her opponent, slapping her in the face and taunting her.Ī couple minutes later, Banks was able to roll Flair up and pin her for the three-count, tying the match, 1-1. With 10:44 remaining, the challenger hit the champion with Natural Selection from the top rope, and that was enough to ground Banks for the three count as Flair took the 1-0 lead.įlair tried pinning Banks twice again after that, but Banks kicked out and then got her foot on the bottom rope to break it up. It was like pulling teeth to get the first fall of the match, but Flair finally did it. Shortly after, Flair hit Natural Selection with 12:25 remaining, but Banks kicked out at two again. Flair went to get her from the outside of the ring, but Banks kicked out at two. Surprisingly, she didn’t get busted open - though, later in the match, she would. The first one happened when Flair kicked out the legs of Banks on the ring apron, sending her crashing her face into the steel steps. So, we were sure to see some of the best spots these two could dish out. This was the “End of the Line” for the Banks-Flair feud, according to all people involved. Thirty-Minute Iron Man Match for the Raw Women’s Championship Neville is part of the Cruiserweight division now. Neville attacked the champion and then attacked Perkins, who tried to help. Swann thought the man who helped him, according to Michael Cole, was coming out to congratulate him. WHY NEVILLE WHY?!? just ATTACKED and at #WWERoadblock: End of the Line on /oNUzM50lns- WWE December 19, 2016Īfter the match, Neville appeared. Your winners and NEW Raw Tag Team Champions: Cesaro and Sheamus Realizing he had a chance to take advantage of Kingston’s attention being on Cesaro, Sheamus cross bodyblocked him and turned it into a pin ad he locked Kingston’s legs and got the three-count. It turns out - or, rather, it was explained as such - that it was a part of Cesaro’s plan to throw off Kofi Kingston, who hit Cesaro with Trouble in Paradise and then went for the pin. While Sheamus went for the tag to Cesaro, Cesaro jumped the gun and got in the ring. The ending is what made the title switch worth it. But, sure, have Cesaro and Sheamus face these guys again that they’ve lost to about 100 times.Īnd, of course, have them beat them! Though this match was fantastic and the ending was great, it still doesn’t make a ton of sense to me that the team that New Day beat a bunch of times eventually beat them for the titles and not a new up-and-coming tag team. After setting the record for longest-reigning tag team champions last Wednesday, many felt it was time to now bring up a new tag team to challenge New Day. At 483 days, The New Day’s historic tag title run was meant to be all but over.

Best of all is his Soultimate, Dragon Rock, which deals significant damage to enemies.īloominoko is a fun buddy to have around, though you have to work for it. Like Appak, he also has an Inspirit move that boosts an allies’ strength, making someone like Baddinyan or Casanuva more valuable. His Maul Attack and Meteor Technique are both incredibly powerful. This turns him into a S Rank Dragon Lord, which has a Dragon Force ability that increases his strength when his health is low. If you’ve been staying out all night and pushing the limits during Terror Time, you might already have his fusion item, the Dragon Orb. Draggie joins as part of a story quest in the tenth chapter. Also, his Double Slice attack can do some decent damage.īut if you want someone really powerful, you should really try for a Dragon Lord. His Inspirit, Torrent Power, can boost the strength of a weaker ally, like Casanuva, to make them more useful. His Penetrade means you’ll always deal elemental damage, which is helpful with his incredibly powerful Waterfall Technique that hits one enemy and Soultimate Torrent Slash that attacks every foe. It’s worth it, though, because he boasts high attack and speed. You have to level him up to 32, either by keeping him around or using experience orbs, before you get this A Rank character. Walkappa joins the party as part of a story event, just like Jibanyan, but evolving him isn’t as simple as finding another Yo-Kai for a fusion. Unfortunately, you really have to work for this Charming type. As another plus, Casanuva is an A Rank, whereas Shmoopie’s evolved form, Pinkipoo, is only a B Rank.Īppak is another character than makes quite a difference if you have him around. His Inspirit, Popularize, is good if you have a party member with high defense to act as a tank, since all opponents will attack him, an the Heavenly Heart Soultimate will heal 130 hit points for all allies. His spirit and speed are great, he has a strong Storm technique, and can deal decent damage with Guns Blazing. Once you start seeing the A Rank Casanuvas around, you can get a Love Buster as a random drop from him, which can be fused with Cupistol to evolve it. He’s still a healer, like Shmoopie, but has stronger spirit that helps with a Whirlwind damage dealing technique. He starts out as a D Rank Cupistol, which can be found in Downtown Springdale in trees and likes bread. I’ve extolled the virtues of Shmoopie before, but there’s another option if you want a party member that will help you make more friends, but perhaps deal a little more damage. Having a character with Popularity is a perk too, since it makes befriending Yo-Kai Watch’s Yokai easier. Both are great perks for a character you can get in the first few hours of the game. Also, Nyice ta Beatcha, the Soultimate, deals damage to all enemies. His Delinquency will make an enemy attack its allies. It’s his Inspirit and Soultimate attacks that make him most worthwhile. His Pompadour keeps enemy headbutt attacks from hitting him, which is a nice perk. (Befriend a Roughraff by feeding it a noodle dish.) He excels in speed, like all Charming types, but works as a solid fighter thanks to his abilities. Jibanyan joins Nate or Kate as part of the story and fusing him with one of the Roughraffs found in Uptown Springdale’s back alleys will give you Baddinyan. The best creatures are found in the end-game, of course, but it’s possible to come across more than a few potential party members that will enhance the rest of the game for you, perhaps making the overall experience easier.įor example, Baddinyan can be a great character that sticks with you throughout much of Yo-Kai Watch. When it comes to Yo-Kai in Yo-Kai Watch, there are certain characters that are better than others. the config program says 67mm but after checking 3 times today in the mirror with digital calipers it is 66mm. its like strain on my eyes, so im constantly shifting the rift around on my head but can never find that sweet spot, i duplicated this feeling by purposly setting the IPD lense distance way too narrow on the colorcross. I constantly feel like my left eye is going crosseyed or blurry. It just seems so blurry in the dk2 around the edges, I would gladly give up 10 degrees of peripherial blurr to have a slightly smaller but completely useable clear image.Īgain, the rift is amazing but the lenses have been my biggest disapointment. Im not knocking the DK2 - its miles ahead of this little device, Im just shocked and wondering why this other things lenses are so clear over the entire fov compared to the DK2 and why the DK2 version of tuscany seems kind of washed out and less vivid. Ive also spent hours measuring my IPD with digital calipers and using oculus config, and also measured the IPD distance of the colorcross once I had it set (adjustable IPD on it) so its not a misconfiguration of the DK2.Īnyway. On the DK2 I ran Tuscany in extended and yes was getting full 75 fps with no judder.Īgain im not bashing or talking bad about the DK2, just sharing my experience and wondering why the DK2 lenses seem so blurry at the edges when this cheap contraption has a crystal clear image spanning entire fov (although its apparent FOV could be smaller I understand this) Im not talking trash about the DK2 or affiliated with the colorcross, it was just some impulse buy I made and its cheap and hurts to wear longer than 10-15 min, also I dont even think its sold anymore but was just shocked how clear the image was in the entire FOV. It seems on the dk2 only a circle about 40% the size of the lense in the center is clear and things any further out towards the edges are a muddy mess. The colorcross is cheap and very uncomfortable but the clarity of the images just really surprised me. Now dont get me wrong, the DK2 is amazing and its head and positional tracking are miles beyond anything Ive tried on my phone but this old galaxy S3 is only 720p so would really like to try a higher spec'ed phone.īut yeah, the resolution is lacking on the phone and framerate is horrible but also noticed I never got that queezy feeling I get everytime im running around in Tuscany on DK2, but I think maybe that has to do with the tracking being so much smoother and more lifelike in the DK2 and that my brain is tricked more into thinking im really in this world and that my body is rapidly moving around when it really is not. I also was surprised how with the cheap china lenses of the colorcross I could see all the way to the edges clearly! The DK2 version also seemed more washed out. To keep from babbling ill just try to get to the point, Instead of laughing the colorcross off as inferior I was shocked when comparing them side by side that the phone version of Tuscany seemed to have much more vivid colors and even more detail than the DK2 version. So I remembered this morning after running tuscany demo on Dk2 - that I remembered also playing that demo on the colorcross on my old galaxy S3 so thought it would be fun to load both versions up and do a side by side to see how much better the DK2 was than the colorcross/old phone. I have had my DK2 for a week or more now and have tried about every demo out there and had alot of time to play with it and mess with settings etc. I played around with the colorcross for a few days and it was pretty cool but I wasnt blown away and so here it sat in my desk drawer untill this morning. After I put in an order for the DK2 back in early August, I knew I had a long wait but wanted to experience some VR so ordered the google cardboard and soon after I found a plastic china made version on ebay called colorcross for around $40.

Major UK banks have been falling out of favour with the crypto sector in recent months. Less than a year ago, Binance reopened its doors to UK customers after being ordered to cease trading by the Financial Conduct Authority in February 2022. Paysafe’s withdrawal of support marks another major blow to Binance’s UK operations. In further comment sent to Proactive, Paysafe said: “While we recognise this is disappointing, the UK portion of our business with Binance is small and we’re pleased to be continuing to work with them in Europe and Latin America where they are expanding. “We have concluded that the UK regulatory environment in relation to crypto is too challenging to offer this service at this time and so this is a prudent decision on our part taken in an abundance of caution,” Paysafe said in a statement. Crypto wireless network Helium’s native HNT token dropped by more than 23 on news Friday that Binance plans to delist it from its exchange.

Over 20% of the world’s crypto assets are secured through our Ledger Nanos. The arrangement will also help to boost the assets under management of Ledger ILS Managers, LLC, the dedicated investment manager arm of the company, we assume.We're making the world of digital assets accessible and secure for everyone. Join the mission.įounded in 2014, Ledger is the global platform for digital assets and Web3. The institution clearly feels there will be investor appetite in Saudi Arabia for the insurance-linked returns possible from casualty ILS, and this will help to increase the knowledge of ILS in a market that for many in the space is relatively untapped to-date. It’s good to see the interest in ILS from a Saudi Arabia based institution like ANB Capital, an institution that offers a range of securities and brokerage services, as well as investment management and the offering of investment funds to its clients. “Our partnership demonstrates our commitment to innovation and our ability to collaborate globally to develop new investment opportunities.” Samir Shah, CEO of Ledger Investing, also said, “We are delighted to be working with ANB Capital to introduce this important new product to the Saudi market. The product is designed to provide Saudi investors with access to a new asset class, and ANB Capital said it will complement their existing suite of investment products. Khalid Al Ghamdi, CEO of ANB Capital commented, “We are excited to conclude this partnership with Ledger Investing to develop and launch this innovative product for our investors, and this partnership is in line with our commitment to provide our investors with access to promising and unique investment opportunities with the possibility of achieving rewarding returns.”ĪNB Capital and Ledger Investing will collaborate closely on product development and structuring of this casualty ILS fund, leveraging Ledger’s expertise in technology and ILS, as well as ANB’s expertise in the Saudi investment market. The MOU was signed at an event held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia yesterday, with the agreement set to lead to the establishment of a fund that will allocate to casualty insurance-related securities, and with a target size of $100 million. It also provides Ledger with access to a new and diversifying source of investor capital to back its casualty ILS deals, helping it to continue growing the insurance premium volumes written and invested in. This is a strong partnership win for Ledger Investing, with ANB Capital offering a number of Shariah compliant and other investment strategies at this time, including a range of alternatives that ILS would be complementary to. It will be the first insurance-linked securities fund to be launched to investors in Saudi Arabia, we’re told, and will have a focus on US risks in casualty lines of insurance business.ĪNB Capital will market the product to investors in Saudi Arabia, once the casualty ILS fund has been established and approved by regulators. The strategy for this ANB Capital arrangement will be focused on these often longer-tailed types of insurance risks, where Ledger’s technology-led approach to making risks investable can help to create a differentiated strategy. It seems Ledger Investing will provide at least the origination and portfolio management services to develop an up to $100 million insurance-linked securities (ILS) fund focused on casualty risks, we understand. Ledger Investing, the insurance technology (insurtech) and insurance-linked securities (ILS) focused company, has agreed and signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to develop a $100 million ILS fund in partnership with Saudi Arabia based investment institution ANB Capital.

With the growing opportunity to harness the power of tidal energy, the plan now is to introduce TIPA’s novel technology in the market. Under favourable regulatory and economic conditions, ocean energy technologies (tidal and wave) could meet 10 % of the EU’s power demand by 2050. The potential global market of tidal power is between 150-800 TWh (terawatt hours) per year, or up to EUR 40 billion per year. They then tested it in the sea in Scotland where it functioned very well. This direct-drive generator enables tidal energy to be turned into electricity with much greater ease and more cost effectively.īefore installing the new generator in the sea, the project team spent three months testing it onshore at the world’s leading test centre at Germany’s Aachen University. The consortium has developed a tidal turbine generator without a gearbox. Aside from the cost-effectiveness, what makes TIPA truly groundbreaking is perhaps its simplicity. ‘We’re absolutely delighted that we’ve been able to surpass our targets and reduce costs faster than anticipated.’Ĭutting those costs makes tidal energy much more competitive and will help with the longer-term phasing out of fossil fuels and nuclear energy. This new generator reduces the cost of tidal energy by 29 %,’ says TIPA project manager Seumas MacKenzie. ‘In fact, after rigorous testing and optimisation work, we exceeded that goal by almost half as much again. The initial plan of the project was to cut costs by 20 %, but the TIPA team managed to surpass that. The generator converts the movement of the blades of the tidal turbine into electricity. However, to meet the ambitions and potential of tidal energy, pioneering research is now focusing on cutting costs.Īfter almost three years of research, the EU-funded TIPA consortium, made up of seven companies and organisations, has developed a generator that significantly reduces tidal energy costs. They are also attractive because tidal turbines can be completely submerged and leave no visual impact on the landscape, unlike other sources of electricity generation. Tides are particularly interesting because they are predictable, even years in advance, unlike other renewables such as wind. With the need to shift away from fossil fuels, there is greater focus on generating electricity from the tide, one of the most powerful forces on our planet. The world’s oceans are teaming with life and untapped clean energy. |
