To satiate the need for more Bloodborne content, some gamers have used their skills to create it themselves. One such fan, going by the Twitter handle Lilymeister, has been “demaking” a version of the game for the original PlayStation and sharing clips of her progress on social media. In her posts, game developer Lilith Walther details the steps necessary to transform a high-res game into a low-poly deconstruction that will run on technology that’s 20 years old....

Leaks and rumors about Apple’s work on a foldable iPhone have been popping up for months now. The latest information from well-known insider Jon Prosser seems to suggest that Apple not only has settled on a clamshell design reminiscent of old flip phones, but that the company also is considering multiple “fun” colors. If so, Apple could make the device more appealing to mainstream users, as opposed to going for a more expensive premium option like some competitors....

The tax code is being crammed with special-interest provisions intended mainly to advertise public solidarity with some selected constituency, social group or cause. The Clinton administration wanted to endear itself to parents of college students, so it advocated (and Congress passed) a complex package of tax breaks for college tuition. Now it wants to flaunt its compassion for families caring for older parents with a $1,000 “long-term care” credit. The president’s budget proposes an array of new credits, including a $2,000 credit for buying a “highly energy efficient” new home....

Many blacks had opposed the site as well. believing that Ashe’s legacy would be diminished by the company of slave owners. But others, including Ashe’s family, were pleased with the site. Says former Virginia governor L. Douglas Wilder, “Monument Avenue is Virginia’s avenue of respect.”

Jones’ final run of Week 13 went 77 yards for a touchdown. Before that, he’d run 14 times for 53 yards with no scores. But that one run pushed him to 130 yards and a touchdown. It also helped Green Bay to a 30-16 win, rather than a 23-16 edge. Both of those components could have major financial implications across the country.

It started with a sushi lunch, followed by a 40-minute educational lecture. Afterward, Ohta’s blood-sugar level soared to 338 milligrams per deciliter. The next day, Ohta had the same lunch, but this time he attended a comedy show. Laughing apparently helped: Ohta’s blood sugar topped out at 252mg/dl–an improvement of 25 percent. Dr. Koichi Kawai and his team found similar results in the 18 other patients who participated in the study....

PUBLIC DEBT Point: To stimulate the economy, the government prints money and spends it wildly. Public debt has reached 130 percent of GNP. Counterpoint: High debt is little more than a stopgap solution to Japan’s long recession. A basic overhaul of the system is needed. EMPLOYMENT Point: Japan’s jobless rate stands at a record 4.9 percent. The government wants to protect jobs at small and medium-size firms. Counterpoint: Job protection inhibits speedy corporate restructuring, which slows new job creation and delays economic recovery....

To deal without appearing to deal, a good go-between is essential. “What you need is a party trusted by both sides who can arrange meetings that don’t exist,” says a Lebanese expatriate with ties to Hizbullah, the Shiite Muslim umbrella group to which the hostage-takers belong. Wisely, the Bush administration is relying on United Nations Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar to fill this role, rather than on the shady arms dealers and self-important secret agents used in previous efforts....

After a shadowy killer assassinates two Supreme Court justices, the nation is stumped for suspects and motive. Working in the nether reaches of the Tulane law library-far from the lecherous glances of male law students or the boozy reach of her law-professor lover-Darby Shaw solves the crime. She explains her theory in a memo that becomes known as the pelican brief; the title refers to the endangered species at the heart of the lawsuit that sets off the killings....

Diablo II was initially released in 2000. So it’s not surprising that players will experience something very different from what it was several years back. Diablo II: Resurrected completely revamps the game and builds it from the ground up using all forms of modern technology. However, even though old players will find it very easy to get into the game, new players might find it challenging to navigate. Action RPG games can be a bit difficult to understand at first....

Innocent lives and property are not all that have been lost in Naroda Patia. So, too, has the possibility that Hindus and Muslims can live here together in peace–the core of India’s secular dream. On the wall that separates the decimated Muslim streets from the untouched Hindu neighborhood next door, there is a chilling message chalked in neat Hindi script: THIS IS THE KINGDOM OF LORD RAM. NO MUSLIM CAN STAY HERE....

Hawley told CBC News that a snow removal machine wrecked part of the curb outside his house in January 1993. After reporting the damage to the city, he waited for crews to come and correct the damage. They never came. “One time, they told me the system for logging complaints had changed,” Hawley said, “and my previous complaints weren’t on record.” He kept calling the city of Winnipeg on and off for around 24 years until the day he finally heard the sound of work crews on his street....
