The ever popular quiz show event has returned! Upon logging in, you will receive a quest and you must make your way to Physis where the Quiz Show event takes place. The event begins at the top of every hour and you MUST be standing on either the 'O' or the 'X' to participate. Once the clock hits a new hour, gates will rise (disallowing further entries) and the Quiz Show will begin!
From there, you will be posed with a series of questions. These questions are of real-world trivia as well as Mabinogi trivia. Your job is to determine whether or not the statement is essentially true or false. So, in layman's terms, 'O' means yes or true, and 'X' means no or false. Move your character to either the X spot or the O spot to input your final answer. From the top of the hour, thirty different questions will be posed and you will need to get each one correct in order to move on to the next question.
So once you've participated in the Quiz Show enough to acquire each of the prizes, what's the point in sticking around? For every question answered correctly, you will receive a Mabinogi Quiz Show Ticket. Redeem 777 of these tickets for a FREE Fire Horse! This is a PERMANENT pet that is added to your character selection screen.
This is quite the event, and it requires a sharp and quick mind to be successful! Best of luck to all of our Mabinogi Quiz Show Contestants! The Quiz Show will run from November 21st to December 12th, 2012.[1]
There are a total of 30 questions in one session. You have 10 seconds to move to the X or O side after the question appears on screen. After the timer counts down, all who answered correctly will receive a Mabinogi Quiz Show Ticket and will move onto the next question.
Those who answered wrong will be transported out of the play area and cannot continue to answer questions until it starts again at the next top of the hour.
The Mabinogi Quiz Show Tickets can be traded with other players.
An OX Quiz Gift Box will be received for answering 20 and 30 questions correctly in one session.
A 30 Questions Badge ticket is rewarded for getting all 30 questions correct.
The badge will not be received is there is no room for it in your inventory.
You can only receive two badges per real-life day.
An "Untranslated text" quest is given upon logging in.
This quest may be recieved multiple times, but may only be completed once every day.
You should be standing within the lines of the square in order for your answer to count. Standing on the lines may not count.
You need to be in the square before the timer counts down to zero. You are only counted as being in the square if your character performs an O or an X gesture, depending on which square you were in when the timer ran out.
You can reduce lag by using the following options.
Minimize characters using the Numpad / key or by going into Options > System Tab > Performance Sub-tab. It will be the second check box. Make sure to drag the box to the right end for maximum efficiency.
Use CTRL+N to hide names.
Use CTRL+P to hide party ads.
If you're going to be using this list to find the answers, it is suggested that you have both windows set next to each other so you don't need to switch using the toolbar.
You may not use skills in the middle of the event.
Be careful not to click any of the Event Helper NPCs while the event is running. Starting a conversation is an easy way to run down the timer, and consequently lose. Same goes for party boxes.
Be wary of those who sneak through the fence (via Flying Mount, or pre-selected destination) and attempt to trick you. You can tell who has been eliminated as they will not make one of the O or X gestures at the end of an answer.
If you plan to add to this list, do NOT paraphrase questions. Type them exactly as they appear in-game. (Including spelling errors made in-game)
It helps to take screen shots of questions that are not on the list so that they can be accurately added later.
Be careful when editing an already existing entry, some questions are in multiple times with very slight variations. Don't assume just because you saw a question one way, a similar one in the list is wrong.
Some of the answers that the event wants are actually wrong. See here for a list.

Drinking for Charity at the Santa Monica Bloody Mary Battle
Santa Monica, California, is known for its beautiful blue skies, ocean views, the ferris wheel on the pier, and lazy days laying on the beach. But now, there is a new activity to add to the list when you visit: drink some Bloody Marys! Last Sunday, five neighboring restaurants located on the picturesque Ocean Ave. set out to compete for the title of best Bloody Mary at the Santa Monica Bloody Mary Battle. Hosted by Del Frisco's Grille, and sponsored by Tito's Vodka and Bloody Gerry, each restaurant sent their best bartender to throw down their most delicious and creative take on this traditional cocktail. The competitors were Joseph Matlock from Locado Del Lago, Christiana Gifford from Blue Plate Taco, Danny Matlock from The Lobster, Steve Triosi from Del Frisco's Grille and Adam George from Areal Restaurant. "It's about bringing the community together more then an actual competition," said Adam of Areal Restaurant. "It's also about bragging rights." The winner of the throw-down would receive a cash prize which would be donated to a charity of their choice. "Drinking Bloody's and raising money for charity? It doesn't get any better than this!" said the MC of the event Tyler Herdklotz. The gameplay was simple. Purchase a ticket for twenty dollars, and receive a flight of five bloody's from each bartenders' personal mix set on top of a coaster listed A through E. Which ever three mixes you enjoyed the most, simply drop the coasters into the first, second, or third place box. The votes were then later counted, and a victor would be announced. With over three hundred Angelenos in attendance, this throw down was an amazing spectacle to be seen and tasted.
Of course, it's not always just about the mix is it. On display were some of the most impressive garnishes to be placed on top of a bloody mary cocktail. Joseph's Matlock of Lago had served his with a deep fried sardine, when the crowd shouted "who's going to eat the head?" guest judge Jeff Miller of the Thrilllist.com stepped up to the plate and bit the head right off. "How does it taste?" asked MC Tyler, "Salty and delicious." The next most favorited garnish was a slider served up by Steve Triosi from Del Frisco's. "Now that's a meal in a glass!" exclaimed guest judge, celebrity DJ Casey Conner. Another crowd pleaser was Adam's of Areal restaurant who served a refreshing garnish of heirloom tomato and mozzarella cheese to compliment his freshly juiced heirloom tomato mix.
When the voting boxes were closed there was much discussion as to who the winner was going to be. "E is the winner for me." said Gerry Becerril president and founder of Bloody Gerry, a premium tomato mix company. "I don't know which bartender is E, but it's my kinda pallet: bold pepper flavor, the right amount of Worcestershire, and the right blend of horseradish." The bartenders eagerly talked with each other discussing who they thought was going to take bragging rights and the check. Christiana of Blue Plate Taco felt confident, "I know our blend with the roasted peppers, spices, and flavors is a bloody mix that's hard to compete against."
When the time came to announce the winners, the bartenders lined up, and the crowd started chanting out their favorite restaurant to win. The winner of the day was Joseph Matlock from Lago, who received a combined check for a little over $3,000 for his chosen charity. Second place went to Steve Triosi from Del Frisco's Grille, who received a gift basket of Bloody Gerry and Tito's vodka. "I can't believe I got beat in my own house!" laughed Triosi. Third place went to Adam of Areal. So, if you find yourself in Santa Monica this summer, be sure to head to Locado Del Lago, and taste this summer's winning Bloody Mary.
Bloody Gerry Premium Tomato Beverage Mix will be available for sale online in August 2015.

The Secrets to a Healthier, Happier, Possibly Longer Life
Fitness & Weight Loss By The Doctors Staff on 5:00 AM PST, November 27, 2012
The Doctors are joined by family physician Dr. Mike Moreno, author of The 17 Day Plan to Stop Aging, to discuss the secrets to living healthier, happier and longer.
"It's not how long you live, it's how well you live," E.R. physician Dr. Travis Stork says.
Feeling Ice Cold
Some theories suggest that taking an ice-cold shower daily can help extend your life.
Pediatrician Dr. Jim Sears and three brave volunteers test the theory by seeing who can stand under a cold shower the longest.
"Pulse is going good," says Dr. Sears after he steps out of the shower, shivering. "I'm actually feeling really invigorated, energized, feeling younger."
OB/GYN Dr. Lisa Masterson says you don't have to go to such extremes. She recommends taking a shower and slowly adjusting the temperature until the water is cold.
"A cold shower may be energizing," Dr. Travis says. "I don't really think taking a cold shower is going to significantly increase your lifespan."
Come to Your Senses
How sensitive are your taste buds? A recent study found that obese children are more likely to have less sensitive taste buds than children within the normal weight range. Their lessened ability to distinguish between tastes could be a psychological reason why they consume more food than an average child.
The Doctors wonder which happens first, noting that as you eat more sweet and fattening foods, you become desensitized to the taste of sugar.
Dr. Travis uses soda as an example.
"If you haven't had a soda in months, when you drink that soda, it tastes extra sweet, but if you're drinking them all the time?" he asks. "Not that sweet."
"You kind of get desensitized so you don't really taste as much if you keep getting those type foods," Dr. Lisa says.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew Ordon invites Tony from the audience to test his taste buds.

Women and Smoking
Dr. Travis and Dr. Freda Lewis-Hall, chief medical officer of Pfizer, discuss the specific risks women face when it comes to smoking.

Do you assume that the thinner you are, the healthier you are? That's not always the case. We often focus too much on the number on the scale and not enough on our level of cardiovascular fitness.
"Our weight, shape and size certainly aren't the only indicators of our overall health," Dr. Travis says.
"You're not trying to achieve some perfect physique," he adds. "What you're trying to achieve is a good healthy, cardiovascular system."
The 17 Day Plan to Stop Aging
Dr. Mike, author of the best-selling book The 17 Day Diet, recently released a new book called The 17 Day Plan to Stop Aging.
"The idea was initially 'let's get people down to a healthy weight,'" Dr. Mike says, "and now, let's focus on the body, the brain, the heart, the lungs, the immune system."
The 17 Day Plan to Stop Aging was developed in partnership with The Doctors' Executive Producer Jay McGraw.
Dr. Mike shares some simple things you can do to help slow the aging process:
• Rotate your wrists and stretch your head and neck for 30 seconds to a minute each morning. The simple exercises will help fight tendonitis and arthritis, which often are aggravated by typing on a computer all day.
• Shadow box for three to four minutes a day to exercise your heart and cardiovascular system.
• Breathe slowly through a straw for a minute to increase your lung capacity.
• Swap your sock drawer with your T-shirt drawer to get out of your routine and help improve your memory.
Dr. Mike explains the five functions that cause aging:
• Inflammation
• Oxidative stress
• Glycation
• Methylation
• Immune impairment
"Methylation, glycation, inflammation, oxidative stress, you don't have to worry about all of that," Dr. Travis says. "There's really one secret that can help improve all of those things, that can improve your health."

Forgive and Forget?
It's not always easy but learning how to forgive and forget could help your heart, according to a University of Tennessee study. The study found that those who forgive people who make them angry had lower blood pressure and lower heart rates.
Noah, 31, is a professional photographer who taken a picture of himself every day since he turned 19 -- an experiment to document the aging process.
Dr. Travis said it's important to be self-aware and taking photographs could force you to notice changes that could signal a health problem.
The Doctors get a glimpse of what they might look like as they get older. Find out if they age gracefully.
When Rebecca's daughter, Grace, who has Down Syndrome and doesn't talk, wandered away from her home in Burlingame, California, a new online network helped her get home safely.
Rebecca had used the online website Nextdoor to email her neighbors a photo of her daughter so they would know who she is and where she lives. When Grace did get away from her house, a neighbor recognized her and took her home.
Nirav Tolia, founder and CEO of Nextdoor joins The Doctors to explain how the website connects you to your neighbors by providing a private online network for communities. So far, there are more than 5,000 neighborhoods in 48 states using Nextdoor, he says.
"If you connect to your neighbors in your local community, you have a 50 percent greater chance of living longer," Nirav says. "The problem is we don't know our neighbors these days."

Never put college savings ahead of retirement
A startling number of affluent households are putting college ahead of retirement. And that's a move that could cost them big time.
Maurie Backman | The Motley Fool
Up to $5B in student loans could be erased due to missing paperwork
National Collegiate Student Loan Trusts, one of the country's largest holders of student debt, has lost several lawsuits because of missing documents. Video provided by Newsy
Newslook
It's not unusual for savings to fall by the wayside among low- to middle-income U.S. households. After all, when you're barely earning enough to cover the bills, setting money aside for other goals can be a challenge, to say the least. Wealthier folks (which, for the purpose of this discussion, are defined as those having $500,000 or more in investable assets), on the other hand, have a much greater opportunity to save -- but that doesn't necessarily mean they're doing so wisely.
In fact, 70% of wealthy Millennial families are putting college savings ahead of retirement. That's the latest from a study by Personal Capital, which also found that almost half of affluent young families are open with their children about their net worth, and, as such, have opened the door to certain expectations. For example, 64% of wealthy Millennials with children say their kids expect them to pay for college.
Of course, given the cost of college these days, it almost seems like you'd need to be wealthy to cover those ever-climbing tuition bills. And saving for college is unquestionably a respectable goal.
That said, no matter your net worth, you should never put college savings ahead of retirement, and the reason is simple: Your kids can always borrow money for college, but you can't finance away your retirement. If you leave your career behind without ample savings to support the lifestyle you want, you're going to either start running out of money, or find yourself with no choice but to make compromises later in life. And neither, frankly, is ideal.
Don't neglect your retirement
Of course, it's not just the wealthy who seem to be focusing on college more than their golden years. In a recent Gallup study that covered households with a wide range of income levels, most families listed paying for college as their primary financial concern.
One of the most daunting prospects of paying for college is the limited window most families are given to do so. Unless you start saving before you have kids (which most folks aren't doing), you only get a roughly 18- to 22-year time frame to accumulate enough savings to cover your costs. And when you have multiple children to put through college, the pressure mounts even more.
But while retirement does offer a far more expansive savings window (if you start in your 20s and retire in your 60s, you'll have a good 40 to 45 years to amass a nest egg), it's also far more expensive than college. In addition to housing, transportation, food, utilities, clothing, and other such necessities, seniors face two major expenses that can surpass the cost of college and then some: health care, and long-term care.
According to recent projections, the average healthy 65-year-old couple today will spend $400,000 or more on healthcare alone in retirement. Meanwhile, most seniors end up needing long-term care, and that can run the gamut from over $43,000 a year for an assisted living facility to roughly $82,000 a year for a shared room in a nursing home. If you end up requiring the latter for 10 years, that's $820,000 your savings will need to cover, unless you happen to have long-term care insurance. Even with a policy, you'll still be liable for a chunk of those costs, which well exceed the price of college tuition at even the most elite institutions.
And there lies the danger of putting college ahead of retirement. While you might help your child avoid student debt or give him or her a leg up going into adulthood, unless you're staying on track for retirement, you'll be putting your own future at risk.
A more balanced approach to saving
Regardless of your income level, it pays to save for both retirement and college simultaneously. And if you start early enough, you can pull both feats off.
Imagine you're earning $100,000 a year, and have your first child at age 30 and your second three years later. If you set aside 20% of your earnings starting at 30, and allocate 10% to retirement and 10% to college for the next 25 years, at the end of that window (at which point your children would conceivably be done with their undergrad studies), you'll have $632,000 to apply to each goal, assuming your investments bring in an average yearly 7% return during that period. And that's more than enough to put two children through college.
If you then, beginning at age 55, start putting $20,000 a year into your retirement account, by age 67, you'll have $1.78 million, assuming that same return on investment. And that's certainly a respectable number to have on hand for retirement.
Of course, depending on your income level and savings ability, your ultimate balance might look quite different. But the point is that it is possible to save for both college and retirement at the same time, and be successful at both. And if you can't pull that off, set aside enough money for retirement so that you know you're on track to meet your goals, and put whatever excess cash you acquire into a college savings account. Funding your kids' education is a noble endeavor, but if you skimp on retirement savings in the process, you'll come to regret it as a senior -- no matter how wealthy you might be.

The US army has displayed damaging cultural insensitivity in Iraq, while being blinded by unrealistic optimism and predisposed to use maximum force, a senior British officer wrote in a blistering appraisal in a US military publication.
The essay by Brigadier Nigel Aylwin-Foster of the British army, who served with US forces in Iraq from December 2003 to November 2004, appeared in the latest edition of the magazine Military Review, published by the US army.
Aylwin-Foster said US army personnel struggled to grasp the nuances of battling anti-government fighters while also winning the hearts and minds of ordinary Iraqis.
"Moreover, whilst they were almost unfailingly courteous and considerate, at times their cultural insensitivity, almost certainly inadvertent, arguably amounted to institutional racism," Aylwin-Foster wrote, arguing that the army exacerbated the task it now faces by alienating significant parts of the Iraqi population.
An army spokesman at the Pentagon, Paul Boyce, said "we may not agree with it" but the army wants to present candid views.
"The US army encourages alternate and diverse opinions so that we may find out more about our effectiveness, lessons learned and how to adapt in the future," Boyce said on Wednesday.
"We invited this particular commentary and published it in our magazine."
Britain has been the chief US ally in the Iraq war, launched in March 2003, and about 8500 British troops serve alongside 147,000 US troops there now.
Two dozen other countries also have troops in the US-led multinational force.
Other critics also have accused the US military of a lack of understanding of Iraqi and Islamic culture.
The military concedes that the vast majority of US troops do not know Arabic, and has launched an effort costing $750 million over five years to improve foreign language skills in the ranks.
rmy officers' "damaging optimism" that seemed out of touch with a more sobering reality.
"Self-belief and resilient optimism are recognised necessities for successful command, and all professional forces strive for a strong can-do ethos. However, it is unhelpful if it discourages junior commanders from reporting unwelcome news up the chain of command," Aylwin-Foster wrote.
"Force commanders and political masters need to know the true state of affairs if they are to reach timely decisions to change plans: arguably, they did not always do so," he added.
"[The US army] seemed weighed down by bureaucracy, a stiflingly hierarchical outlook, a predisposition to offensive operations, and a sense that duty required all issues to be confronted head-on"
Aylwin-Foster faulted "moral righteousness" felt by US personnel that "encouraged the erroneous assumption that given the justness of the cause, actions that occurred in its name would be understood and accepted by the population, even if mistakes and civilian fatalities occurred in the implementation".
Aylwin-Foster said US forces in Iraq were more disposed to use offensive military operations than the forces of partners, and US rules of engagement "were more lenient than other nations', thus encouraging earlier escalation".
Aylwin-Foster lauded the US army's sense of patriotism and its talent, and said it was "in no way lacking in humanity or compassion".
"Yet it seemed weighed down by bureaucracy, a stiflingly hierarchical outlook, a predisposition to offensive operations, and a sense that duty required all issues to be confronted head-on."


Keep an eye out for training opportunity announcements from youthful and exuberant phenom "Tyrannosaurus Legs".
Tyrannosaurus Legs or "TYRELL" as his friends call him has developed quite a following with his fast draw and fast talk.
"This is the product that I am most proud of" he says. "Our War Belt is proven in the field of my practice range. Been using it for one to two hours a day for a week straight. It does a great job of keeping my slacks up and my gear in place and I think it looks great with my outfit!" The War Belt is available now on the Tyrannosaurus Legs website. Normal sizes are $110.00, IDPA sizes are $130 and up due to the extra material.
Tyrell also pointed out that he has been making holsters for the past several years and the his good friend and co-trainer TRU-EXISTENTIALIST has been using them a lot. "TRU-EX and I have proven my equipment on the field of battle" he says. When pressed for what actual battle he was referring to he wasn't specific, but assured me that for himself and Tru-Ex there was no other equipment to use. "My Sad Car holdster is good, much better than anything else you can find." he was quick to point out.

We are rid of malevolent individual – DA chair on Ananias Mathe's death
The Democratic Alliance's correctional services spokesperson has welcomed the death of infamous serial rapist Ananias Mathe on Wednesday, saying it rids society of a dangerous individual.
"It is considered impolite to speak ill of the dead. However, in the case of Mr Mathe, society is now free from a dangerous and malevolent individual," James Selfe said in a statement.
Mozambica-born Mathe was convicted of rape, murder and house robbery, and was known for several escape attempts from maximum security prisons across the country.
He reportedly died on Tuesday in the King Edward VIII Hospital in Durban.
According to Selfe, Mathe would be best remembered for his many escapes from prisons, including an "escape" from the Pretoria C-Max prison in 2006.
"He (Mathe) was supposed to have used Vaseline to push himself through a small window, and then to have used a rope made of sheets and blankets to scale down one wall and up another," Selfe said.
"These incidents point not to Mr Mathe's ingenuity or Houdini-like abilities, but rather to the depressing reality that offenders with large amounts of money made from the proceeds of crimes can bribe their way out of most situations."
Six prison wardens were dismissed from the Pretoria C-Max prison following the incident.
"It is a tribute to the Kokstad C-Max staff, and the prison's security measures, that he was unable to escape from that prison," Selfe said.

Pandora Jewelry Names New CEO and Board Chairman
Anthony DeMarcoSenior Contributor
Danish jewelry company Pandora said it will name tobacco company executive Anders Colding Friis as its fifth CEO since the company went public in 2010. He will succeed current CEO Allan Leighton in March 2015.
The Denmark-based company with manufacturing facilities in Thailand is known for its popular charm jewelry and other affordable jewelry pieces. It is also known for raising approximately $2.1 billion in its IPO in October 2010, for incredible sales growth during its first three quarters as a publicly traded company followed by a sudden approximate 65 percent decline in its stock price based on a company report that dramatically reduced its outlook.
The company has experienced steady growth in sales and stock value since then but its top position continues to be in constant change.
In this case it appears Leighton's turn as CEO was planned as a temporary move. He was already chairman of the jewelry company when he replaced Bjørn Gulden as CEO in July 2013. Gulden accepted a position as CEO of athletic apparel company, Puma.
Friis, 51, is a Danish citizen and since 2006 has been the Group CEO of Scandinavian Tobacco Group, the world's largest manufacturer of cigars and pipe tobacco. He also is chairman of Monberg & Thorsen, deputy chairman of IC Companys, board member of Topdanmark and Confederation of Danish Industry.
Leighton will step down from his role as CEO after reporting Pandora's full year results for 2014. At the next annual general meeting, Leighton is expected to be named the company's co-deputy chairman of the board.
In addition, the company plans to make Peder Tuborgh chairman of the Pandora's board of directors in October. He will replace Marcello Bottoli, who announced previously that he will step down due to other professional commitments. Bottoli also served a stint as CEO during the company's time of turmoil.
Tuborgh, 51, is a Danish citizen who holds an MBA from Odense University and has held a series of management positions in Arla Foods, an international dairy company, before becoming group CEO in 2005. He is also deputy chairman of Aarhus University and board member of Royal Greenland.
"A managed succession at the top of the company, at a time when its performance and opportunities have never been stronger, has been a key objective for the board," Bottoli said. "I am delighted with the result and to have been an active part of this."

In a previous life I was an award-winning daily newspaper reporter who moved to business and trade magazines and who now specializes in high jewelry and watches for publications around the world. My first magazine job was with a design and architecture trade publication where I received a first-hand education and appreciation of how good, innovative design can make the world a better place. It's something I take with me while traveling the world and writing about the finer things in life.

Q: Converting subquery with SUM and many WHEREs to Join structure for performance Can I obtain the same result in a more efficient way?
Below query is fast for few records, but I have a huge performance problem with more than 100 results and already large tasks table.
I wanted to redo it to a JOIN struct, but with no luck so far.
Any help would be appreciated.
SELECT
    `t`.*,
    (
        SELECT SUM(`tasks_sub`.`delivered`)
        FROM `tasks` AS `tasks_sub`
        WHERE ((`tasks_sub`.`table` = `t`.`table` AND `tasks_sub`.`proces_id` = `t`.`proces_id`)
            OR (`tasks_sub`.`order_id` = `t`.`order_id`))
            AND `tasks_sub`.`index` = `t`.`index`
    ) AS `sum_delivered`
FROM
    `tasks` AS `t`

Table tasks structure:
Tasks
`id`, `table`, `proces_id`, `index`, `delivered`

A: Consider this rewrite
SELECT t.*,
    (   SELECT  SUM(ts.`delivered`)
            FROM  `tasks` AS ts
            WHERE  ts.`table` = `t`.`table`
              AND  ts.`proces_id` = `t`.`proces_id`
              AND  ts.`index` = `t`.`index`
    ) +
    (   SELECT  SUM(ts.`delivered`)
            FROM  `tasks` AS ts
            WHERE  ts.`order_id` = `t`.`order_id`
              AND  ts.`index` = `t`.`index`
    ) AS delivered
FROM tasks AS t

Together with two new indexes:
tasks:  INDEX(table, proces_id, index,  delivered)
tasks:  INDEX(order_id, index,  delivered)
