Handheld Game Console
Nintendo DSi Review
Since the early seventies, we have seen the development of the video game industry through the release of different video game consoles. With each new model, a higher level of the processor, video graphics, and audio performance are introduced. This led to the high-definition video game consoles that we know and use today.
With the innovations in standard video game consoles which are plugged into televisions, we have also seen developments in the handheld video game consoles. These portable video games enable users to continue playing their favorite games wherever they go.
One such renowned handheld video game console is the Nintendo DSi. When its predecessor the Nintendo DS was released in 2004, consumers were still confused why this type of handheld video game had dual screens and what were the purpose of each.
Still, the developments after the first Nintendo DS have provided a gameplay experience which has been loved by gamers all over the world. In this article, we will discuss the features of the Nintendo DSi.
Nintendo DSi – Matte Black
Dual 3.25-inch screen
Download exclusive games, clocks and calendars via the Nintendo DSi Shop
Take pictures using either an inward or outward facing camera and chose from 11 different lenses to customize your shots
Connect wirelessly to browse the internet, share photos and play with others
Access your music in the AAC format off any standard SD Card
A summary of the features of the Nintendo DSi is as follows:
25 inches Dual Scree
Downloadable Games, Clock, Calendar through the DSi Online Store
Have dual cameras with 11 lenses
Photo-editing feature
Internet connection for sharing photos and playing with other Nintendo DSi users
SD card enabled
256 MB internal storage
Can play music
DSi sound application for sound recording and editing
Dimensions: 8 x 5 x 9 inches
The Nintendo DSi is an improved model from the DS Lite were one of the first things you will notice is that it has a sturdier and matte body. It has dual cameras that let you take photos inwards and outwards.
The new firmware of the Nintendo DSi lets you connect to the online store, upload and share photos, interact with other users, and even plays music. It has a 256MB internal storage for storing your photos and music, or you can expand your memory by inserting and SD card in the SD card slot.
The Nintendo DSi Sound application lets you record and edit voice and sound recording to distort and adjust them according to the provided audio filters. The Sound application is where you can also play your music files as long as they have AAC format.
The Nintendo DSi store now lets users download games and utility applications and store them in the internal or external memory. One of the downloadable application for the Nintendo DSi is the Wario: Photograph which lets you edit your photos and make them more fun.
It has an 17% bigger screen than the DS lite model
Has a matte and almost rubberized texture for easier grip while playing
Has a bigger RAM for faster gameplay
Dual cameras that have 0.3 megapixels
12% slimmer than the DS lite
Has an online Nintendo DSi shop where you can download and purchase games and utility applications
Has a 256 MB internal memory and an SD card slot for additional memory
Your downloaded games, photos, music and utility applications can be saved on the internal memory or the SD card
Has new and fun games and utilities like PictoChat, music player, sound editor, and photo editor
Lets you play music and edit audio recordings to distort and change the pitch, speech, and sound
Lets you share photos and edit them
Has a faster internet connection than the DS lite
You can change games without turning off the whole console
Have parental controls
No longer has a slot where you can plug your old Game Boy Advance games
Has a shorter battery life than the DS lite
While it can play music, it can only access AAC files
While there are two cameras in the Nintendo DSi, this does not mean that you can use this for taking pictures and selfies due to its low-resolution cameras
Has a new charger so older DScharger models cannot be used to charge this model
The Nintendo DSi provides handheld video game console gamers a better gaming experience from their older DS lite models. Its new feature lets users download their games and utility applications straight from the Nintendo DSi online store.
Fun applications like the PictoChat lets you edit your photos and share them with your friends while the Nintendo DSi Sound editor lets you record audio files and edit their sound, speed, and pitch. The Nintendo DSi makes playing game fun and easy.
The Nintendo 2DS handheld video game console is also a portable video game that merges the Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS features in a 2D format.
Unlike the Nintendo DS models which have a flip-type build, the Nintendo 2DS has a single flat surface in which both screens are located. This model also has Wifi connectivity that lets you connect, play, and interact with other players.
The PlayStation Portable is perhaps one of the most sought for handheld video game console with its wide screen and high-quality graphics. It has a built-in Wifi, Web browser, music player and photo viewer.
The PSP lets users browse the internet and watch videos through its wide screen but it takes some time of getting used to for you to navigate web pages by using the buttons. Much like the Nintendo DSi, you can download and save games through the memory card but game data takes up lots of space.
The Nintendo DSi is one of the most welcomed improvements in the handheld video game console with its new features. It lets users download games and utility applications directly from the Nintendo DSi online store just as long as a steady Wifi connection is available.
Players can also use their Nintendo DSi to edit and share their photos through PictoChat, as well as record and edit audio files as well. The Nintendo DSi also provides for a music player as long as the music files are in the AAC format. With these new features, the Nintendo DSi is truly a remarkable handheld video game console.

Gazer Backdoor Detector
Gazer, written in C++, the backdoor delivers via spear phishing emails and hijacks targeted computers in two steps—first, the malware drops Skipper backdoor, which has previously been linked to Turla and then installs Gazer components. Gazer receives encrypted commands from a remote command-and-control server and evades detection by using compromised, legitimate websites (that mostly use the WordPress CMS) as a proxy. Instead of using Windows Crypto API, Gazer uses custom 3DES and RSA encryption libraries to encrypt the data before sending it to the C&C server — a common tactic employed by the Turla APT group. Gazer uses code-injection technique to take control of a machine and hide itself for a long period of time in an attempt to steal information. Gazer backdoor also has the ability to forward commands received by one infected endpoint to the other infected machines on the same network. Gazer Backdoor Detector matches all known IOC's and threat intelligence published by ESET company which discovered the threat.

IG Investigation Requested by Chairs Grijalva, Cummings of Former Secretary Zinke's Email Use is Now Part of Larger Justice Department Criminal Probe
Washington, D.C. – The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) for the Department of the Interior (DOI) has confirmed that its investigation of former Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke's email use – an investigation requested by Committee on Natural Resources Chair Raúl M. Grijalva (D-Ariz.) and Committee on Oversight and Reform Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) – has been folded into a larger criminal probe being coordinated with the Department of Justice (DOJ).
On April 19, 2018, the lawmakers requested an OIG investigation of Zinke's use of private email to conduct official business. That investigation, which has not been previously publicized, was opened contemporaneous to a related criminal investigation that the OIG is coordinating with DOJ, and the two are now combined into a single unified effort, according to a letter OIG sent to both chairs earlier this week.
Grijalva and Cummings asked the OIG to conduct "an investigation into whether Secretary Zinke's use of a private email address to conduct official business complies with federal law, including the Federal Records Act, National Archives regulations, and internal DOI policies."
There are two publicly known criminal investigations currently involving Zinke's tenure at DOI: a grand jury probe of reports that he lied to federal investigators about the construction of a casino in Connecticut, as reported by the Washington Post and others, and a DOJ investigation of Zinke's role in a property development deal in his hometown of Whitefish, Mont., as reported by the New York Times.
"Secretary Zinke's tenure was a perfect metaphor for the Trump administration: giving public resources to private companies, strictly limiting access to information, doing favors for rich friends, covering up wrongdoing and expecting no consequences," Chair Grijalva said today. "This investigation and others like it are part of restoring public trust in government, which has suffered from the intentional destruction of the Trump years. Leaving office half a step ahead of the law doesn't wipe the slate clean. It's imperative that political appointees at the Department of Justice allow this investigation to continue unimpeded regardless of the risk to Mr. Zinke or other Trump officials."
"Transparency is the foundation of our democracy," Chairman Cummings said today. "The American people have a right to know who has access to the highest levels of the Department of Interior. Our joint investigation has already uncovered serious problems at the Department, raising important questions about who is influencing the Trump Administration's policy decisions. We look forward to the completion of the Inspector General's investigation, but we will continue to conduct robust oversight of the Department to ensure our government is making decisions in the best interest of the American people."

Static liquefaction as a possible explanation for the Merriespruit tailings dam failure
Andy Fourie, G.E. Blight, G. Papageorgiou
In 1994 the Merriespruit gold tailings dam in South Africa failed, resulting in 17 deaths. The post-failure investigation provided no explanation as to why the catastrophic flow failure, which contradicted all previous experiences of failures of gold tailings dams in South Africa, occurred. The documented history of the dam describes insufficient freeboard provision and often poor pool control, which is argued to have resulted in some areas of the dam having high in situ void ratios. Some of the undrained triaxial tests carried out on specimens obtained from zones adjacent to the failure scar exhibited nondilative behaviour. Laboratory triaxial tests that were conducted on reconstituted specimens and are reported in a companion paper defined a series of steady state lines that were dependent on the particle-size distribution of the tailings. Void ratios obtained from undisturbed samples taken during the post-failure investigation are compared with these steady state lines and it is shown that an appreciable percentage of the specimens were likely to have been contractant. The inference drawn is that a large volume of tailings was in a metastable state in situ and overtopping and erosion of the impoundment wall exposed this material, resulting in static liquefaction of the tailings and a consequent flow failure.

N2 - In 1994 the Merriespruit gold tailings dam in South Africa failed, resulting in 17 deaths. The post-failure investigation provided no explanation as to why the catastrophic flow failure, which contradicted all previous experiences of failures of gold tailings dams in South Africa, occurred. The documented history of the dam describes insufficient freeboard provision and often poor pool control, which is argued to have resulted in some areas of the dam having high in situ void ratios. Some of the undrained triaxial tests carried out on specimens obtained from zones adjacent to the failure scar exhibited nondilative behaviour. Laboratory triaxial tests that were conducted on reconstituted specimens and are reported in a companion paper defined a series of steady state lines that were dependent on the particle-size distribution of the tailings. Void ratios obtained from undisturbed samples taken during the post-failure investigation are compared with these steady state lines and it is shown that an appreciable percentage of the specimens were likely to have been contractant. The inference drawn is that a large volume of tailings was in a metastable state in situ and overtopping and erosion of the impoundment wall exposed this material, resulting in static liquefaction of the tailings and a consequent flow failure.

Our first event in Brasov is hosted by Trattorian Artisan Food. We talk about being unique, about that one mix and match of the right ingredients for the perfect dish, or chair, or mood. We show off with the fact that smart design always seems tailor made and comes with a sense of humor, a touch of precious look and a feel of maximum comfort. This evening is for lovely small talks in the kitchen. Literary J How we do it, and why, and what we feel if we do or don't do things in a certain way. We are happy to welcome our public and share a glass of wine, as we play informal and we look gorgeous just enjoying a relaxed design-ish evening.


Will Pakistan ever be the ally we need it to be?
But this newfound helpfulness was only a mirage. The trove of military and intelligence documents released in late July by WikiLeaks has dashed any optimism that Pakistan's intelligence agencies turned a corner this year. (And Mehsud, it emerged, in fact survived the drone attack.) The leaked reports show that as recently as 2008, Pakistani spooks working for the Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI, were allegedly orchestrating suicide bombings in Afghanistan and hatching plots to kill GIs with poisoned booze. ISI officers also reportedly counseled Taliban fighters in attacks against American soldiers. Their support for the Taliban, in other words, was not only moral, but tactical, too.
The leaks offer the clearest illustration yet that even as Pakistan received billions of dollars in American aid, it was actively sabotaging the war in Afghanistan. Yet the United States can't afford to dump Pakistan—which means that nothing substantive is going to change.
Last summer, I met with a special ops officer who compared America's relationship with Pakistan to the recurring "Peanuts" gag in which Lucy offers to hold a football so that Charlie Brown can kick it. "Every time Charlie Brown thinks she's going to hold the football still, and each and every time, she pulls it away just as he's about to kick," he said. Shaking his head incredulously, he added: "And then he just lines up to try and kick it again and again." That some observers, including myself, had begun to believe that Pakistan had reformed its behavior in early 2010 now seems preposterous.
Pakistan's political and military elite have long considered Afghanistan a key part of the battlefield in their existential conflict with India. The Taliban, in their view, represented a bulwark against Indian encroachment in Afghanistan. And so ever since the Taliban were chased out of Kabul in October 2001, the ISI has been working to return its turbaned partners to power. Unless Islamabad's anxieties about India were addressed, the idea that Pakistan might sincerely partner with the U.S. to defeat the Taliban was only a canard.
Long before Obama announced that the U.S. would begin withdrawing from Afghanistan in July 2011, the word among Pakistani politicians, security analysts, and opinion-makers was that the military and intelligence establishment was hedging its bets in preparation for an American departure. (In Pakistan, "hedging one's bets" is a euphemism for backing the insurgency.) As the Wikileaks documents indicate, U.S. troops have been dealing with "PAK MIL/ISI [being] likely involved with the border crossings" of militants for years. To at least some in the American military, Pakistan's duplicity was just another known condition on the battlefield.
There is, of course, the possibility that Pakistan did fully commit to supporting the United States against the Taliban earlier this year, and that the leaks document a policy that has since changed. Husain Haqqani, Pakistan's ambassador to the United States, told the Times, "The documents circulated by WikiLeaks do not reflect the current on-ground realities" (a not-so-subtle admission that the revelations were accurate once.) It's true that Pakistan's national security calculus has undergone a strategic shift over the past 18 months, ever since the Pakistani Taliban began challenging the central government and targeting army and ISI installations. But Taliban operating out of Pakistan and "Pakistani Taliban" are not necessarily one and the same. What these leaked reports document is the ISI's backing of the Afghan Taliban, their longtime allies. If this support continued between 2001 and 2009 (the most recent date cited in the leaks), why should we believe that it suddenly evaporated in the past year?
Yet while the Wikileaks revelations have confirmed long-held assumptions about Pakistan's deception, they will likely have little impact on its relationship with the United States. The United States is heavily dependent upon Pakistan to provide access for NATO fuel and supply vehicles, as well as intelligence cooperation for the CIA's drone program in the tribal areas. Islamabad also believes that it's not in its national interest for Hamid Karzai—whose government maintains warm relations with India—to succeed. Meanwhile, the military and intelligence operatives on the ground identify more strongly with the Taliban's core values than with ours. No amount of "stern messages" from senior Pentagon, CIA, and White House officials will alter these underlying dynamics. Islamabad knows how much the United States relies on Pakistan's facade of collaboration, and therefore sees no incentive to cooperate fully.
Even if public and congressional pressure forces the White House to rethink its Afghanistan policy, Pakistan will still play a pivotal role. Adopting the so-called "Biden plan"—that is, focusing more narrowly on targeting al Qaeda rather than taming the wider Afghan insurgency—would entail a greater reliance on Special Forces and drone strikes. This strategy would require a similar level of assistance from Islamabad as the current counterinsurgency plan, which depends on Pakistan preventing fighters from crossing its borders into Afghanistan. Either way, we'll be sprinting towards the football, hoping, despite all evidence to the contrary, that this time Lucy won't cheat.

Q: NHibernate "Repeated column in mapping for collection" exception Consider the following NHibernate mapping, and notice the commented properties. These are the same columns as the key and index column specified in the map. When I remove the comments (thus including the TypeOfPart and UnitId columns for the properties) I get the "Repeated column in mapping for collection" exception.
<map name="Parts" table="ActiveUnitParts" lazy="false">
  <key column="UnitId" />
  <index column="TypeOfPart" type="integer"/>
  <composite-element class="ActiveUnitPart">
    <property name="Id" />
    <property name="CreationDate" />
    <property name="PartInfo"/>
    <property name="Remarks"/>
    <!-- <property name="TypeOfPart" /> -->
    <!-- <property name="UnitId" /> -->
  </composite-element>
</map>

What I need in code is a Dictinonary<TypeOfpart, ActiveUnitPart>. But the problem I have is that the values for the properties UnitId and TypeOfPart aren't set in the ActiveUnitPart instance in the Dictinonary<TypeOfpart, ActiveUnitPart>.
Yes, the list of related parts of this unit is loaded, and yes the key in the dictionary is related to the right part. But I do not understand why I can not reference the TypeOfPart and UnitId to fill the properties in ActiveUnitPart itself as well.
How can I solve or workaround this?
Motivation of why I need this:
I must be able to work with ActiveUnitParts without referencing the related Unit (UnitId)
EDIT 1:
I know I can intercept the setter of the Parts property of the Unit and iterate through the Dictinonary<TypeOfpart, ActiveUnitPart> to set the values in code, but it seems like a  hack and I wish to learn a more elegant NHibernate way of getting it done, if possible.

A: It is possible, just change the mapping from column to formula. The best way how to achieve that would be:
<property name="TypeOfPart" formula="TypeOfPart" insert="false" update="false" />
<property name="UnitId" formula="UnitId" insert="false" update="false" />

Q: Закрыть Form1, открыть Form2 Да-да-да, понимаю, тема "заезжая", но сколько я не рыл, ни где толком не объясняется почему все скрывают/показывают форму так:
Form2 frm = new Form2();
this.Hide();
frm.Show();

Таким способом, активная форма не закрывается, а скрывается, правильно?
Как правильно закрыть Form1 и открыть Form2?

A: В проекте WinForms есть два вида форм - главная и дочерние. Разница между ними в том, что главная форма по сути и является приложением, поэтому при ее закрытии происходит выход из приложения.
Одним из решений является скрытие главной формы, вместо закрытия. Этот вариант уже написан в вопросе. Он обычно применяется, когда главная форма так или иначе используется в дальнейшем.
Если первая форма в дальнейшем не используется, то можно использовать 2 варианта:
1. Правим Program.cs
По умолчанию содержимое файла Program.cs выглядит так:
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication4
{
    static class Program
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// The main entry point for the application.
        /// </summary>
        [STAThread]
        static void Main()
        {
            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
            Application.Run(new Form1());
        }
    }
}

Как вы можете заметить, Form1 запускается как приложение и, при завершении работы формы, произойдет выход из Main и приложения.
Чтобы этого не произошло, можно прописать последовательность запуска форм:
Application.Run(new Form1());
Application.Run(new Form2());
Application.Run(new Form3());

Тогда при закрытии первой формы, будет вызвана вторая и так до последней.
Недостаток - сложно передавать данные между формами. Да можно определить поля в классе Program, конструкторы с параметрами в формах и передавать данные через эти поля и параметры конструкторов, но что делать если нужно вернуться в одну из предыдущих форм? Пилить сложную логику переходов в Main - не сама лучшая идея, мягко говоря.
2. Переходим от форм к контролам
В WinForms есть замечательный класс UserControl. Это фактически пустой контрол, который вы можете наполнить любым содержимым как и форму.
После того, как набор таких контролов подготовлен, вам остается только разместить их на форме с параметром Dock = DockStyle.Fill и управляя значением свойства Conrol.Visible, показывать тот контрол, который вам нужен в данный момент. Если не хотите держать контрол в памяти, ни кто не мешает просто создавать его в нужный момент и отображать, а после использования и переключения на новый контрол, отписаться от событий, вызвать Dispose(), удалить все ссылки и отдать его на растерзание сборщику мусора. Только выигрыш от этого невелик, особенно если вдруг надумаете снова его показать.

Забыл написать про еще один недостаток переключения между формами через Main. Каждая новая форма будет открываться немного в другом месте, может для защиты от программ-автокликеров это и хорошо, но меня, как пользователя, такое поведение раздражает, и думаю что не только меня.

Ещё можно не передавать форму в Application.Run и запустить его без параметров. Тогда даже закрытие всех форм не приведёт к закрытию приложения. Чтобы выйти окончательно необходимо будет вызвать Application.Exit – Lunar Whisper

Тоже хороший вариант, если необходимо использовать разные формы в процессе работы.

A:         using System.Threading;
        Thread f1f2;
        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
                    this.Close();
                    f1f2 = new Thread(open);
                    f1f2.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
                    f1f2.Start();

    }
    public void open(object obj)
    {
        Application.Run(new Form2());
    }

A: this.Close();
frm.Show();

Так вроде

Sir Chris Hoy, team GB's most successful Olympic cyclist, is calling on all keen cyclists to support a new London to Paris accessible cycling challenge organised by the charities Back Up and Aspire.
Covering 300kms, a team of handcyclists and cyclists will set off from London to ride through Kent, Dover and historic French towns. The challenge will finish at the foot of the Eiffel Tower and, afterwards, cyclists will have the opportunity to explore Paris.
"The support the charity provides to people affected by spinal cord injuries is incredible and I think it's great that one of the activities for 2016 is a cycling event from London to Paris," Sir Chris Hoy said.
Back Up and Aspire help thousands of people of all ages, backgrounds and levels of injury to rebuild their lives after spinal cord injury. Back Up's wheelchair skills and courses help people overcome the challenges of returning to work or school after an injury. Aspire's services, which include Aspire Grants, Aspire Housing, Independent Living, Assistive Technology and Welfare Benefits Advice, help people move from injury to independence.
"Good luck to everyone taking part and all those involved behind the scenes, I'm sure it will be a great success," Hoy said.
The charities are looking for cyclists and handcyclists to go on an exciting adventure from London to Paris, while supporting thousands of people affected by spinal cord injury.

Q: cakephp 3 multi level associated save I have a Users model which has a hasOne relationship to an Employees model. When I save a user I also add a record in the Employees table with the user_id. This works fine.
The Employee can be associated to belongsToMany Courses through CoursesEmployees table. This saves ok when I only save the Employees.
My problem is I want to save all 3 three but the Courses do not get saved.
Save user -> save employee with new user_id -> save courses chosen for new employee with employee_id in courses_employees
EmployeesTable.php

    ?>
</fieldset>
<?= $this->Form->button(__('Submit')) ?>

Here is the post data sent to the add method for save. With this the user and employee get saved correctly but no recored in the courses_employees.
If I save the employee form the employee controller the courses_employees get add ok so I know the associations are setup ok.

    $courses = $this->Courses->find('list', ['limit' => 200]);
    $this->set(compact('user', 'roles', 'courses'));
    $this->set('_serialize', ['user']);

A: I have found the solution. I have read the cookbook again and I noted in one of the examples snippets 'associated' => ['Tags', 'Comments.Users']
I have applied this to my controller and it now works. It is saving on all levels.

The Italian-Canadian community in Ottawa has been touched by the devastating earthquake that hit central Italy on Wednesday, and is working on fundraising to help those affected.
Josephine Palumbo, the president of the National Congress of Italian-Canadians Ottawa chapter, said she received the news around 2 a.m. local time and has been working feverishly to get fundraising efforts up and running.
The 5.5 magnitude earthquake has killed at least 120 people – and injured many others.
She said the National Congress of Italian-Canadians is trying to get its efforts coordinated through the Red Cross's International Disaster Relief Fund.
In the next 24 hours, the Canadian Red Cross will know what is required of it by the Italian Red Cross, said Palumbo. At that point, it will be able to get to work to provide what is needed by those affected.
"At this moment, our focus is on how many people have actually died from this earthquake and then trying to reach out to the families in terms of our moral support," she said.
Palumbo hopes fundraising efforts will start across the city in the next 24 to 48 hours.

FDA approves GM salmon for sale in the US
Sean Murphy, SeafoodSource online editor
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted permission for genetically-modified salmon to be sold in the United States.
The FDA has granted an application from AquaBounty Technologies, a company based in the U.S. state of Massachusetts that has been seeking permission to sell its genetically-modified salmon under the brand name AquAdvantage, according to an announcement on the FDA's website today.
"The FDA has thoroughly analyzed and evaluated the data and information submitted by AquaBounty Technologies regarding AquAdvantage Salmon and determined that they have met the regulatory requirements for approval, including that food from the fish is safe to eat," said Bernadette Dunham, director of the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine.
The FDA announced the approval as part of a collection of decisions regarding genetically-modified plants and animals used for food. The AquaBounty decision marks the first approval for a genetically engineered animal intended for food in the United States.
The FDA did not issue a labeling requirement, but did offer guidance "for manufacturers who wish to voluntarily label their products as containing ingredients from GE or non-GE sources"
A statement from the company on the FDA's ruling described AquAdvantage as a product that will help meet the country's demand for farmed salmon efficiently and with a minimal impact on the environment.
"AquAdvantage Salmon is a game-changer that brings healthy and nutritious food to consumers in an environmentally responsible manner without damaging the ocean and other marine habitats," AquaBounty CEO Ron Stotish said in the statement. "Using land-based aquaculture systems, this rich source of protein and other nutrients can be farmed close to major consumer markets in a more sustainable manner."
AquaBounty has had a long time to wait for the FDA's approval – the company's initial application dates back to 1995. The company and its product have faced fierce opposition from groups ranging from NGOs to government officials. Former Sen. Mark Begich of Alaska famously described the company's AquAdvantage Salmon product as "Frankenfish" in 2010, an unflattering moniker that has stuck ever since. After today's ruling, U.S. congressmen and senators from Alaska were quick to respond. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, also using the term "Frankenfish," noted this summer she introduced a bill with a labeling requirement for those selling GM salmon. That bill, she said, is all the more important now.
"I am livid at the FDA's announcement to approve genetically engineered 'salmon'—what seems to be more science experiment than fish or food," Murkowski said. "I have adamantly opposed the approval of GE salmon, both for the health of Americans and the sustainability of our fisheries, but now that the decision has been made, the next step must be to ensure that Americans know what they are consuming."
Dana Perls, food and technology campaigner for environmental NGO Friends of the Earth, noted more than 60 grocery store chains, representing more than 9,000 stores in the United States, have issued past statements to Friends of the Earth and other NGOs pledging not to sell GM salmon.
"It's really clear that the majority of consumers don't want to eat this poorly-studied and poorly-labeled fish," she said.
Major NGO concerns, Perls said, in part include fears that the salmon will escape an open-ocean pen and begin interbreeding with wild salmon, damaging the wild salmon gene pool. AquaBounty's statement indicated the company was planning to raise its salmon in land-based aquaculture systems, but Perls said she was concerned the company would use other facilities to hatch eggs and raise juveniles, and those need to be watched and regulated, too.
"It's not just the final state that we have to be concerned about. It's the entire process," she said.
Perls said a big part of the problem is what she perceives as a lack of adequate regulation by the U.S. and foreign governments. More oversight, she said, might change the positions of GM salmon's detractors, but the oversight isn't there yet.
"Until that is done, we should not have new GMO approvals," she said.

Copper prices have roughly oscillated between $7,500 per tonne and $8,500 per tonne, near enough averaging where they greeted the New Year at $8,000 per tonne.
2012 saw Zambia – Africa's biggest copper producer – grow its mining tax revenues a third from 3.3bn kwachas to 4.4bn kwachas ($830.19m), due to its doubling of royalties.
The introduction of a profits based tax on miners has so far had little effect since only two of the country's mines are presently declaring profits. Deputy Finance Minister Miles Sampa says the government estimates tax avoidance to be costing Zambia around $1bn a year.
Sampa was seen as playing a vital role in the country's first successful bond issuance, raising $750m in September. The 10-year dollar-denominated debt with a coupon of 5.625% (cheaper borrowing than for Portugal for instance) reflects investor confidence in Zambia's economy which grew by 7.3% in 2012. Most of the money will be used to enhance energy, road and rail infrastructure; further improving the investment climate for miners.
Copper accounts for around 75% of Zambia's export earnings. In October, the Chamber of Mines of Zambia announced that it expected copper production to rise to 1.5m tonnes by 2016/7 – a rise in export values from $5bn in 2011 to around $8bn.
In January Barrick Gold's Lumwana mine said that it would implement a $125m expansion programme.
Production in Zambia fell in the first quarter, year-on-year, from 236,009 tonnes to 169,188 tonnes.
The Democratic Republic of Congo saw production for the first nine months of 2012 rise about a third, from 323,871 tonnes to 406,186 tonnes. This meant African production as a whole over this period rose by 30,000 tonnes, despite an apparently flat performance from Zambia.
Nevertheless, the Bank of Zambia claims output will be the highest in a decade when full year figures are published, estimating a figure of 976,733 tonnes. However, last year provisional figures in February for 2011 that suggested production was higher than in 2010 were later revised to a figure much lower than the previous year.
Africa's largest copper mine, First Quantum owned Kansanshi in Solwezi, Zambia, saw production in the third quarter rise 42% from 50,179 tonnes to 71,484 tonnes, thanks to improved production and higher grades. Gold production at the mine also rose 32%. Profits were lower, compared to the same period, due to the higher royalties imposed.
Also in Zambia, the Glencore-owned Mopani mine in June completed a feasibility study further to investing another $1.5bn on top of the $2bn already committed to raising production.
Mopani and Kansanshi both closed for short periods in March due to environmental concerns and labour disputes respectively.
Last December saw Anglo American (who owned 16.8%) and Rio Tinto (57.7%) sell their stakes in South Africa's largest copper mine, Palabora, to a consortium led by Industrial Development Corporation, a South African parastatal, and China's Hebei Iron & Steel Group for a total of $476m.
January 2013 saw Zambia's state energy utility, Zesco, urging mining companies to cut back their power consumption, due to problems with securing imports to fill its deficit from the DRC. A saving of 100MW is required pending a further of 180MW coming online in December this year.
Given the good data coming out of China and their commitment to renewed infrastructure building of power stations as well as houses, the outlook for copper is generally positive. However, stockpiles are relatively high in China and new supply is due to come online in Mongolia, Peru and Chile. Declining ore grades, power supply issues and labour disputes remain major factors affecting prices in both 2012 and 2013.
The Word Bureau of Metal Statistics announced that the first half of 2012 saw a copper deficit of 129,000 tonnes – meaning supply is unlikely to weigh on prices short of a major global slowdown. It also suggests any demand momentum will lead to a price spike.
Coking coal, which is used alongside iron ore in the production of steel, has seen prices fall over 2012 but they have yet to rebound in line with iron ore prices.
In January this year, according to Vale, the company moved its 1,000th train load of coal from its mine in Moatize to the port at Beira. It expects to transport 4.5m tonnes of coal (or 1,700 train loads) in 2013.
Beira's coal terminal has capacity for 6m tonnes a year but Vale shares the facility with Rio Tinto leaving little room for expansion. Given that Vale's production is set to exceed the limits set by current infrastructure, the company is building a new railway across Malawi to connect with the port at Nacala, where a new coal terminal is set to open in 2014.
In December, Exxaro Resources of South Africa set forth its plans to become a $20bn company by 2020. The company already produces 40m tonnes of coal and is Eskom's largest supplier. Its Grootegeluk colliery is one of the most efficient in the world. Last year saw the company receive the Standard of Excellence Award in the 2012 Deloitte's Best Company to Work For survey.
Coal of Africa Limited (COAL) shares fell 70% over 2012 as coal prices fell. The outlook in 2012 is more positive but proposed government regulations may hamper the investment climate.
However, COAL shares rose 12% this January when an eight-year marketing deal was announced with Vitol, one of the world's largest coal traders, to expand it thermal and coking coal exports.
The new year also saw Chinese regulatory authorities approve the purchase of $100m of COAL shares by Haohua Energy International, a 23.6% stake. COAL will use the funds to upgrade its Vele colliery in Limpopo.
South Africa is the fifth-largest hard coal producer in the world, mining 253m tonnes in 2011. Coal is used to generate about 75% of the country's energy requirements.
Deutsche Bank estimates South African coal will average $93 per tonne (consistent with last year), slightly above estimated (and more stable) costs of $89-93 per tonne.
Metallurgical coal is currently trading at $165 per tonne, its lowest in three years and around half its post-Queensland-disaster peak of $330 per tonne in 2011.
According to the International Energy Agency, coal is set to rival oil as the world's pre-eminent source of energy by 2017, as India overtakes the US to become the world's second biggest consumer of coal. Coal consumption for 2017 is forecast at 4.3bn tonnes of oil equivalent, against 4.4bn tonnes of actual oil.
Certified polished diamond prices fell 12.5% over the course of 2012, according to the Rapaport Group. Meanwhile rough diamond prices fell 16%, according to International Diamond Consultants Ltd.
The market grew by a modest 3-4% over the course of last year.
Botswana, it is estimated, may have only 20 years of diamond production left – a daunting thought given that revenues from the sector account for most of government income and export earnings. Diamond revenues have helped the country grow its GDP per capita from $70 upon independence in 1966 to $7,470 in 2011.
In July, De Beers announced first half figures showing total sales decreased 14% to $3.3bn. Earnings were half that of the same period of 2011 but 16% ahead of the second half of 2011. Lower demand, especially from India, hampered profits but the US and China proved resilient markets. Prices remained steady. Growth is expected to come from the later regions, as well as the Gulf and Japan, whilst Europe and India continue to lag.
De Beers production for the whole of 2012 fell around 16% to 27m carats, the lowest since 2009 when it cut production 50% to maintain prices in the wake of the Western financial crisis.
The outlook for the sector is one of modest growth, given the prevailing state of the global economy, which should equal or exceed last year's. Long term the trend for prices will be positive, according to De Beers, who say that demand will continue to outstrip supply.
Bain & Co concur, saying that a growing middle class in India and China will mean the rate of growth in demand for diamonds will be double the rate of growth in supply, between now and 2020. China and India's share of demand will grow from 20% to 28% by 2016.
Platinum prices rose 8% over the year from $1,415 per oz to $1,533 per oz but were volatile, with a trading range of $1,388-$1,727 per oz. However, the industry was rocked by the wildcat strike at Marikana, which resulted in the tragic deaths of 34 mine workers.
Some 80% of platinum production is based in South Africa. With rising labour and energy costs, and the labour unrest that disrupted production, output is likely to be lower than in 2012 and may well continue to fall. Limited demand for diesel catalytic converters in Europe and the increasing substitution of palladium (also used in petrol catalytic converters) for platinum are not helping the sector.
In fact, palladium was the best performing metal last quarter, rising 12.5%. The market will see an estimated supply deficit of 511,000 oz this year. This has led some to suggest record prices are ahead. Prices had been weighed down by sales of stocks by Russia, which have fallen to 200,000 oz this year from over a million in 2010.
Platinum is in surplus currently, by around 500,000 oz in 2011 but is expected to move into deficit by 400,000 by 2013 as South African production falls by 300,000 oz.
Rhodium fell from over $1,400 per oz to below $1,100 per oz over 2012.
Unsurprisingly, Lonmin shares fell 68% over the year, whilst Aquarius Platinum lost 63%. The industry leader Anglo Platinum also fell, by 16% but Northam Platinum, which avoided the unrest, saw shares rise 27%. The other major, Impala Platinum, saw a more modest decline of 0.8%.
New player IvanPlats has raised $308m in a Canadian IPO in December. The company has copper and zinc assets in the DRC and PGM assets in the Bushveld Complex. Costs are likely to continue to rise significantly in 2013.

We've just returned from Add-on-Con, an annual conference for browser add-on developers held at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View California. The add-on development community is an entrepreneurial bunch of people and it's exciting to hear about what they're working on. Herman Ng, Christopher Griffin, and I were there to present and chat with people. Matt Crowley was also in town so he was able to stop by for part of the day.
Herman spoke about best practices to improve reliability and performance. This topic really resonated with the audience. It's clear developers want to deliver a great experience to customers by building cool features, having great reliability and performance, and getting exposure in the IE Add-on gallery. Based on the amount of interest we saw, Herman will be reworking his presentation into a series of blog posts starting early next year. So you don't have to wait, I'll give you two of Herman's quick tips for add-on developers now.
Get crash reports for your add-on from Windows Quality Online Services (Winqual). This is a great resource for discovering and debugging crashes in your product.

Pay de Limon
A dog named Pay de Limon (Lemon Pay) runs fitted with two front prosthetic legs at Milagros Caninos rescue shelter in Mexico City August 29, 2012. Members of a drug gang in the Mexican state of Zacatecas chopped off Limon's paws to practise cutting fingers off kidnapped people, according to Milagros Caninos founder Patricia Ruiz. Fresnillo residents found Limon in a dumpster bleeding and legless. After administering first aid procedures, they managed to take him to Milagros Caninos, an association that rehabilitates dogs that have suffered extreme abuse. The prosthetic limbs were made at OrthoPets in Denver, U.S., after the shelter was able to raise over $6,000. (Photo by Tomas Bravo/Reuters)
