Battlefield has always been controversial
Battlefield 2042 FPS News
How the fans react to the ten years of Battlefield.
(Image credits: EA)
Since the decades of history behind it, every new game, meaning "Battlefield" is bound to undermine every individual's internalized idea of 'peak Battlefield'. If you're a member of the oldest of Battlefield fans, they'll probably look back at it as a simple WW2 class shooter. If you're somewhat young, Battlefield wasn't better off than when it had mechs.
Battlefield 2042 had annoying bugs and spotty hit detection, but nothing like the silencer from the BF4 could mute an entire server.
It is no surprise that Battlefield 2042, the modern version of the series, was met with a pathetic, sometimes fiery response. It made out of the first five years that it had reintroduced a modern setting with unprecedented precision, that enabled the new generation of renowned games. There's a lot of changes!
But if a week of reflection on the series taught me anything, it's also that Battlefield has always been controversial. Everybody has a Battlefield that they like to love and hate, and despite complaints at launch, the most recent Battlefield seems to be like their people.
Here's how fans reacted to the last 10 years of Battlefield: the origin of original impressions, the preserved fragments of internet forums, ancient memes, and mine's memories.
Publication: October 25 2011 Platforms: PC, PS3, Xbox 360. The servers weren't in my favor.
The 2010s have marked a new era for the Battlefield. In the wake of the pre-season but well-received Bad Company game, DICE clearly made Battlefield 3 by bringing in the increasing popularity of Call of Duty. Battlefield 3 took a much more serious tone and included a linear campaign with a story that could have fallen off an Activision truck. Battlefield 3 was also the debut of the Frostbite 2 engine, which was a big deal. The reveal trailer blew my mind from the moment.
If you were a 15-year-old shooter in 2011, the showdown of Fall 2011 vs Battlefield 3 was a big time. The FPS, which waited four years, was headed to the videogame, and BF3 looked pretty good enough to have taken it down. How did he shake out when he got back to the launch?
The battlefield 3 was devastated by server and bug fixings.
In the same manner as that game, "The play at the time "Tom Senior" crashes to the desktop every five minutes. Every server is disconnected after three and a half hours of play without fail. Tim can't connect to servers most of the time. Graham Smith was an former computer gamer senior in 2011 and the former reporter in 2011.
Yikes. I remember watching Battlefield 3 a few months before release and thinking about it: "I'm glad they're doing this beta so the final game will be more stable." Oh how little I could remember. A review of our responsibilities said, the server was choppy for weeks after launch.
It wasn't balanced as hell, but we didn't feel like we had to.
Quote from the time: "After I played with and without fore grip on my FAMAS, I wasn't sure that I could nerf it enough lol." Hmm, it is a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit OP. Alan Kertz, former designer with DICE in 2011, was first hired in 2011 by DICE in 2011.
If you had asked me for a trip in 2011 if I thought that the Battlefield 3-s tanks had enough armor, I would have responded "Who cares?" Many games require frequent balancing updates. Meanwhile, players felt strongly enough about the underwhelming assault rifles in Battlefield 2042, so that DICE buffed them all within one week.
Even though the FAMAS of Battlefield 3 was annoyingly strong (I remember seeing it a lot), I think the average player in 2011 would be more inclined to get used to it. Patches used to take longer and developers didn't much more communicative as they now were about what they were now seeing. There certainly wasn't a Battlefield Twitter account dedicated to communicating updates to players in 2011.
Battlelog was a task for PC gamers.
The quote was from this time. "In Bad Company 2, if you want to change the server, you would have to leave the round and load the map before. It's no different." Alan Kertz, the former director of DICE in 2011 in 2011.
Battlelog was DICE's official companion site for Battlefield 3 that kept everyone's tidbits of fun personal stats that you could compare to your friends. It was hard to lose all that you used to be a console player at that time like me. If you played BF3 on PC, Battlelog was much more than a stat site. It is how you launched a witchcraft game. The entire process of matchmaking and server browsing: unable to get on a web browser!
DICE said players would be thankful if they don't sit through a bootup or load a real main menu to enter a match. Even though it worked as advertised, it was tempting to remove the old tabbing from the game to find a new server because of the lack of ability for PC players to do with Battlelog, especially considering that the console versions had normal server browsers.
Battlefield 3 was, at the same time, the first time that PC players were forced to buy the game through the Origin app. Players didn't like this either, because the Origin app sucked back and sucks a decade later. You can now buy EA games from Steam, but you'll be routed to Origin to actually launch them. The whole thing from Battlelog wasn't going to be perfect.
Released September 29, 2013. Platforms: PC (Origin), PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One. The two of the main antagonists were worried about the servers.
The Battlefield 4 engine, with a longer dev cycle and a slightly refurbished Frostbite 3 engine, looks much like the game 3 a lot. It was perfect to many, but DICE's big sell was maps that change the dynamics of time by its "Levolution" events. You know that skyscraper that fell in the BF3 campaign? Now that'll happen in multiplayer!
Even those fans planning on pick up Battlefield 4 at launch remember how janky BF3 was out of the gate and hoped DICE wouldn't let that happen again. Well
The server was a complete disaster.
Now we're not moving on future projects or expansions until we solve all the issues with Battlefield 4″. The spokesperson for EA in 2013 was.
DICE expanded to include guns, maps, and server problems. The game's widespread crashes, disconnections, and poor netcode plagued every version out of the gate. It wouldn't be cleaned up for months. This time the game wasn't much better known, with certain demanding refunds or placing the game under pressure until conditions improved.
Battlefield 4's issues persisted well beyond its Fall 2013 launch and 2014 run. The fallout raged into a total of ten patches that were all about everything, from netcode, weapon balance, to a bizarre bug like the "Death shield." The poor launch state of Battlefield 4 became a game size bigger than its actual gameplay (one that Polygon cataloged with 46 articles). Once again, EA put on a two-week event and said sorry, and decided to stand the DLC until the game is finally over. EA even sued shareholders because they are accused of misleading the public about the quality of BF4. Battlefield 2042 has got some annoying bugs and spotty hits detection so far, but nothing like BF4's silencer that could literally mute an entire server.
Battlelog was better, but still unnecessary.
From the time that he said, "Er, guys, you confused to fix something that Battlefield 3 was badly done" with a new way of looking for games. In 2013 PC Gamer wrote a novel by Philip Savage.
Even though Battlelog was around, an in-game overlay enabled the main access to Battlefield 4 menus from the PC to the webpage. There were some extra features which nobody used, such as a real-time map and a remote joining.
New-gen upgrades weren't free, but it could have been worse.
From time to time you can become in the game without worries, that you will have to start ranking again when the next generation consoles launch. We returned to your destination. EA is the spokesperson in 2013.
While the matter wasn't easy for you to play on PC, upgrading to the next generation version was an awkward one. Almost every publisher charged the price of a whole new game, some offered free upgrades, and Battlefield 4 landed in the middle with a 10-minute fee that only works on your PS3 disc. It was a weird transaction that really should have been free, but it doesn't seem so bad next to other games.
EA almost repaid the next-gen upgrade for Battlefield 2042, but later switched on a free upgrade for it after pushing back a remslack.
Released on March 17, 2015 Platform: OEPC, PSE3, PSE4, PNG, PSW. Some of the people were mad when it came to price: The price.
OK, I'll admit it: I forgot this one existed. In a time when Visceral had wrapped Dead Space 3 and EA didn't know what to do with this, the publisher threw the pilot a pyjamas and robbers-themed Battlefield 4 spin-off. It was the last time that the studio would ever make it before it was shuttered in 2017. In my impression of Hardline at the launch, it was a fine, forgettable Battlefield, but it wasn't without all the more crowded controversies that were large and small.
Battlefield Hardline crossed a line between expansion and 60 games.
Now quote: "Release Battlefield Hardline as DLC for Battlefield 4" A 2013 Change.org petition called "Release Battlefield Hardline" in 2013.
Is Battlefield Hardline worth $60? That was the question they were asking themselves until Hardline's release. DICE reckoned that its unique campaign, new maps/modes and engine improvements justified the price. To many, Hardline still had the taste of a fancy expansion (perhaps because BF players stay for the multiplayer, and that part of the game was basically modified BF4). The uproar wasn't huge at all, but the change.org petition took place. (If you're curious, there's already over 10 petitions for Battlefield 2042.)
Hardline's launch was disaster-free, but got several errors.
Quote from the time: "We still work hard every day to improve the gameplay experience to make Battlefield Hardline more fun." Thad Sasser is the manager of the Visceral project in 2015.
The rough edges were smooth; one had the CPU and some crashes, but Hardline launched relatively disaster-free. Cool!
Released October 21, 2016 Platforms: PC (Origin), PS4, Xbox One. The servers were furious about the sand-hard.
As the BF4's reputation aging slowly and Hardline not leaving us minds, the main Battlefield team at DICE cooked up a bold setting completely unexpected to the competitive FPS: World War One. Battlefield 1 was the most celebrated game in its history, leaving just a few minor complaints, like the janky private servers.
DICE took on freedoms with WW1; but it worked.
Quote from that time: "We tried to find a wide variety of interesting weapons that could have theoretically been used." Aleksander Grndal, executive director of DICE in 2016 was present in 2016 at the time of release.
The biggest question to take a peek at Battlefield 1 was how DICE planned to translate WW1, a war which most of the time he fought with bolt-action rifles and non-serial machines, into fun game. It turns out that DICE's answer was: "Screw that every person gets an SMG if they want one." Battlefield 1 hadn't authentically recreated WW1 combat, but in 1942, no authentically recreated WW2 combat, and the meticulous attention to detail in the maps, uniforms and vehicles still sold the fantasy.
There were also a couple of complaints that black soldiers featured prominently in Battlefield 1's marketing, however, many African soldiers were recruited or forced to fight for colonial powers and that all-Black regiments served in WW1. If there were any reasonable complaints here, only you played as a hellfighter for a few minutes in the campaign, then you died.
Private server is shabby.
Now quote from this time: "Seriously, this is absurd and a complete disgrace." Reddit user GrowlmonDrgnbutt in 2016 in 2016.
The Rent-A-Server program at EA returned with Battlefield 1, but was pretty light on the features at launch. Server owners can't do basic tasks like to create VIP slots, add each map to the rotation or disable autobalance. And that service was not cheap, either: there is a cost of up to 300 dollars for a year on servers.
Released: November 9 a.m. PC (or original) and PS4, Xbox One. Their father was maddish about, women were afraid.
And then we arrive at the most recent Battlefield before 2042. From a two year dev cycle and maps/modes/guns that all felt similar to BF1, Battlefield 5 was a quick follow-up that retreated the old FPS with the WWII setting. The battle was also over, because it was 2018 and exactly what you do.
Fans were unhappy that Battlefield 5 had women.
Then, they wish that Battlefield 5 represents all those who saw the greatest hilarity of mankind's history. Dovesan Vellavsky was vice-chairman for the U.S.
Many Battlefield fans had trouble implementing DICE's rematch of women soldiers in the World War II game – with more than 300,000 rejections at the Battlefield 5's announcement trailer after its first premiere. People upset that women men used a battlefield with men to cross the realism line for a WW2 game, while the fact that Battlefield was always about their realism was the thing when women entered battleground. DICE kept in place all its weapons. We didn't know how much when the match started and showed many men.
Battlefield 5's TTK was everywhere.
To the time that was given to us, "We had the intent to change the TTK, to see if we could expand the Battlefield 5 experience and make it more enjoyable for new players" Tom Mitre, former director of the DICE community in 2018, was the last to retire.
Early word from data and players after BF5's launch suggested that the average time-to-kill (TTK) was too high for most guns. DICE introduced a massive patch that further bolstered player health, so it could increase survivability. Turns out, Battlefield veterans liked it the way it was now and felt like it was too difficult to get kills. In less than a month after the changes, DICE reverted the TKK values and put a long apology on the game's subreddit.
Body dragging never arrived.
Back in the time, "Daing discover that soldier dragging would negatively affect the core gameplay loop, we've decided not to add this feature to Battlefield V." DICE spokeswoman in 2019:
One of Battlefield 5's most intriguing features (at least for Medic mains like me) never saw the light of day. After the 2018 reveal trailer, DICE plans on a journey that allows players to drag down the lost ally to safety so they can be revived safely. The mechanic failed to take BF5 at the launch, and the players were foolishly worried when it arrived for months. DICE eventually announced that body dragging had been cancelled because it would've "negatively impact the core gameplay loop". That one is still out of control!
As I look back at a decade of Battlefield, I was a little surprised to see what really ticked me when it was to me that moment, things that changed to nostalgia. When Battlefield 4 decided to resuscitate, I was surprised how I was singing when two rhymings suddenly rained on day two of the game. Maybe it's because "Battlefield is borked at launch" is a concept that I'm so used to that it almost looks like a rite of passage?
Of course it shouldn't be. We need to expect that game to work as intended at launch, even if it's not surprising when they don't. It's interesting that Battlefield 4 was considered one of the greatest sites of the series in 2021. In the history of the BF, the most disastrous launch failed to get his reputation baated forever. Even Battlefield 5, which was at one point considered to be a series low, found an audience who liked the WW2 setting and didn't mind the old spotting mechanic had gone.
I didn't get married to those people. I resisted Battlefield's descent into the World war because I missed tanks, jets, humvees and huge tanks. After five years of discontent, I decided to turn back to a modern-day game. Well, it did, and so I am enjoying it, warts and everything.

Final Fantasy XV release date delayed to November
Written by Chad
It has been 10 years when the game was in development, so waiting for two months doesn't hurt, right?
After rumors of the release schedule for Final Fantasy XV being moved to November 29 by Gematsu after some sources inside GameStop claimed that new promotional materials have arrive with a new release date. This caused many to speculate that Square Enix will be making a new announcement for the said delay.
And just recently Final Fantasy XV director Hajime Tabata has posted a video message in regards to the current status of the game, and it was confirmed that it will in fact be delayed to a November 29 release. Tabata also revealed that the master version of Final Fantasy XV is already completed and they will be releasing a 30-minute gameplay trailer to showcase the finished product, those who will be at Gamescom this week will be able to play the master version. Tabata also noted that to ensure the game will be in the best quality, a day one patch will be released and will be included on the disc on release day.
You can watch Hajime Tabata's message below:
Final Fantasy XV will be available for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One

To Your Good Health: Treating hearing loss in Meniere's disease versus SSNHL
By Keith Roach, M.D. Columnist
DEAR DR. ROACH: You recently answered a question from a reader with a friend who had sudden hearing loss with tinnitus after experiencing vertigo and dizziness. You attributed the hearing loss to sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). I have been dealing with Meniere's disease for over eight years, and the symptoms you described are identical to those of us with Meniere's. My question is, do you know if the steroids and antivirals would be helpful to those of us with Meniere's? — P.L.
ANSWER: It can indeed be difficult sometimes to separate different causes of vertigo, and both SSNHL and Meniere's have hearing loss symptoms. The key is the suddenness and intensity of the hearing loss, in SSNHL. By definition, SSNHL happens within 72 hours, but most people either wake up with it or notice the change very suddenly (although there may have been some fluctuation in the previous days).
By contrast, hearing loss in Meniere's disease typically progresses over eight to 10 years and predominantly affects the lower frequencies. A hearing test is usually definitive.
Although steroids are sometimes used in people with Meniere's who do not respond to first-line treatments, such as reducing salt, diuretics, and vestibular rehabilitation treatments, steroids are not given with the same urgency as SSNHL, where they should be given to the patient within the first two weeks. Antivirals are not useful with Meniere's and are typically only given within the first 48 hours of SSNHL, as it may occasionally be caused by a virus in the herpes family. And the risk of this treatment is low.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have developed tremors in my right hand, especially when gripping something such as a steering wheel or a fork. My neurologist has ordered an MRI, and we are waiting for the results. The diagnosis may be Parkinson's disease, essential tremor or any number of things.
Our daughter is convinced that these tremors are a result of my COVID-19 vaccinations and booster shots. She is adamant that I do not get a third booster. Is there any truth to the idea that COVID vaccines cause tremors? Should I avoid a third booster? At 75, I am reluctant to do that, but I also don't want to increase the tremors. — K.G.M.
ANSWER: There is no evidence to suggest that COVID-19, or any other vaccine, increases risk for tremor. Age 75 is a time when several types of tremors, including Parkinsonian tremors, do occur. Since over 8 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been given, there will be many people who develop other medical conditions around the time when the initial series and boosters are given. But there is no reason to think that the vaccines have caused the problem. Getting COVID-19 at 75 is dangerous, especially if a person hasn't had a vaccine recently. Although the vaccine is good, it does not provide lifelong protection. As I write this, the best estimate is that a person gets pretty good protection for six months after their last booster. As long as COVID-19 is circulating at high levels in the community, we need to continue to get our boosters, avoid large crowds, and, at least for people at high risk, use masks.
— Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu or send mail to 628 Virginia Dr., Orlando, FL 32803.
To Your Good Health

Harrisburg – Legislation championed by Sen. Bob Mensch (R-24) to promote the employment of people with disabilities at competitive wages in Pennsylvania received final legislative approval and was signed into law.
House Bill 1641 is a companion to Senate Bill 21, the "Employment First Act," sponsored by Senator Mensch. It calls for state agencies to employ individuals with disabilities in at least seven percent of the overall state workforce.
The legislation does not require state agencies to give preference in hiring to people with disabilities. An oversight commission, with people who have disabilities making up more than half of its members, will set measurable goals for improving the percentage of workers with disabilities in Pennsylvania. It will also issue an annual progress report.
The bill will not require additional state funding. Instead, Commonwealth agencies will be required to shift priorities within existing budgets.
For more information on Senator Mensch's legislation, visit www.senatormensch.com. State updates can also be found on Senator Mensch's Facebook at www.facebook.com/senatormensch, or Twitter @SenatorMensch.


Managing change is always going to be an issue for organisations. Whether it's a restructure, a merger, a technology update, a new initiative or even a new CEO, organisations constantly face some form of change. The challenge is to firstly accept the need for change and secondly, successfully navigate change. Unfortunately, organisations often manage change very poorly which can cause staff to adopt a survival mentality and a fear of change occurs. At its core, survival behaviour is a form of resistance which is a natural reaction to unwelcomed change.
I love the idea of workplace veterans – the people who proudly list the various initiatives, campaigns, restructures and even CEOs that have survived. I have often considered the idea of awarding medals to these people as some form of recognition for their survival skills and defiance in the face of organisational change… "This is my medal for the Great Restructure of 2005. We lost a lot of good people in that one. This one I got for the One Organisation Campaign of 2010 and this one is for stoicism by outlasting 5 CEOs in a 5 year period!" This kind of behaviour gives us some powerful insight into the psychological and emotional impact of poorly conceived and managed organisational change. Importantly it suggests that organisations need to accept that there will always be some form of resistance to change and ironically, the greatest resistance can come from the most loyal employees.
Not surprisingly, the enthusiasm for change usually comes from those driving the change and those who will benefit from the change. Conversely, those who will lose something from the change are less enthusiastic. What does this tell us? It tells us that people do not necessarily fear change, they fear loss. They fear loss of status, power, authority, staff, colleagues and even their job.
Doctor – Mr Simpson the first stage is denial.
Doctor – The next stage is anger.
Homer – What's after fear, what's after fear?
Doctor – Mr Simpson the next stage is bargaining.
Homer – Doc, you've got to get me out of this. I'll make worth your while.
Homer – Well, we've all got to go sometime.
Doctor – Mr Simpson I am impressed at your progress.
Unfortunately, not all of us are able to move as quickly through each stage as Homer. The point is that people fear loss and need to come to terms with any loss caused by organisation change. Organisations need to understand that staff will be affected differently by change, but one thing that is clear is that different people will react differently. Be aware of those staff that have the most to lose and those that have the most to gain.

$150,000 Government funding to signpost Cape York tourism hot spots
Tourists visiting Cape York Peninsula will soon have much better guidance when it comes to exploring this famed wild and
Tourists visiting Cape York Peninsula will soon have much better guidance when it comes to exploring this famed wild and beautiful region.
Queensland Tourism, Regional Development and Industry Minister Desley Boyle has announced funding of $150,000 for the Cape York Peninsula Signage Project.
The Minister says the funding would go to the Cape York Peninsula Development Association (CYPDA).
"This project will plan, design and erect appropriate tourism road signage throughout Cape York Peninsula and also meets a target of the Draft Cape York Peninsula Tourism Development Action Plan," she says..
"The signage will define the key drive tourism route and alternative drive tourism routes.
"This will increase visitor satisfaction and confidence which will then increase length of stay which means greater economic and social benefits to the Cape York region."
Boyle says that the CYPDA was one of five Remote Area Boards funded by the Department of Tourism, Regional Development and Industry under the Queensland Regional Development Initiative.
Funding has previously been provided to the CYPDA for initiatives including the establishment of a Community Bank, horticultural brand development and tourism database development.
"Tourism is a key industry for this region and our Government certainly sees it as a priority when it comes to providing support," Boyle says.
"Around 80,000 people visit Cape York and the Torres Strait each year and the number is growing.
"Those who come to the Cape are looking for adventure, cultural stimulation and the opportunity to explore a natural wonderland. One of the greatest attractions is to stand at the tip of Australia.
"Some of the most popular activities for visitors include fishing, bushwalking, camping, 4WDriving, wildlife spotting, visiting Aboriginal rock art sites and significant cultural sites and experiencing the outback lifestyle.
"Better signage is sure to enhance the experience of all those who visit the Cape."

Dialect vs Accent: Is It a Language, Dialect, or Accent?
If I told you that I speak Mexican Spanish and European Spanish, would you say I speak two languages or two dialects? Two varieties? Or just two different accents?
If you've found yourself confused, don't worry. Borders between dialect vs language or dialect vs accent terms can be blurry. I remember my own confusion while studying Spanish philology.
For example, Portuguese and Spanish are classified as separate languages, even though they're mutually intelligible (especially in the written form). Meanwhile, Mandarin and Cantonese are considered two dialects of the Chinese language although Mandarin speakers aren't able to understand Cantonese speakers.
Why is this?
The answer is history and politics.
In general terms, separate countries classify their official language as a distinct language, while the varieties within the country are viewed as dialects. This vague inconsistency is precisely why linguists avoid these labels, instead preferring the term "varieties."
Keep reading to understand the differences among languages, dialects, and accents once and for all!
What's a Language?
Let's start unwinding the dialect vs language dilemma by tackling the term "language."
Russian Jewish linguist, Max Weinreich, popularized the phrase "A language is a dialect with an army and navy." This might sound funny but explains the arbitrariness of the difference between a language and a dialect. This phrase emphasizes the importance of political and social conditions that make people consider, for example, Spanish as a language and Taiwanese as a dialect of Chinese.
A language is a system of communication used within a country or a community—if this community has sufficient political and cultural power. Catalan is a language in the country of Spain, whereas many people still perceive the Hokkien dialect and Wu Chinese, for example, as dialects. Catalunya is a powerful state within Spain, and Chinese provinces are much more dependent on the central government of China.
For the above reasons, you can start learning Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, or Chinese and later discover the dialects within them.
So, are Mexican Spanish and European Spanish two separate languages?
They are dialects or varieties of the Spanish standard language that is the official language of Spain and Mexico.
But do you know how many languages are spoken in Spain? Seven in total, and here they are, organized from the highest population to lowest:
Spanish (99%)
Catalan (8%)
Valencian (4%)
Galician (3%)
Basque (1%)
Extremaduran (0.4%)
Aranese (0.007%)
What are Dialects?
A dialect, also called a variety, signals where a person comes from. It differs from other dialects within the same language in grammar and vocabulary. Some linguists also add phonological features, such as the pronunciation of vowels and consonants, and the intonation, but these are usually considered aspects of an accent.
So European Spanish and Mexican Spanish are examples of dialects, like British English and American English. They have differences in grammar and vocabulary but still, have a common core. If you learn standard English or standard Spanish, you'll be able to communicate with speakers of both varieties.
What's not a dialect? Well, let's say you travel to Mexico City—you'll hear people speaking with different accents depending on their social class. The fact is, a different accent is not equal to a different dialect.
What's an Accent?
The accent refers to variations in pronunciation within the same language or even within the same dialect or variety. Accents differ from standard language.
It means that a speaker of the Rioplatense variety of Spanish in Argentina can speak the European variety of Spanish if needed, using its specific vocabulary and grammar, but still keep the regional accent of their homeland.
An English speaker can choose to learn any variety or dialect of Spanish and still pronounce it with a foreign accent.
The key thing to remember is that "accent" only refers to pronunciation, while dialect must include distinct grammar and vocabulary beyond regional pronunciations.
Exploring the Spanish Language: Dialects and Accents
Are you curious to know which Spanish dialect to learn? Let me tell you about dialects and accents within the Spanish language.
Spanish is one of the languages with the greatest number of speakers, so no wonder it has produced many varieties over the centuries. The main division between the varieties of Spanish is set between the Spanish peninsula and Latin America, but there are other places where people speak Spanish as their official language.
Some linguists talk about 8 types of Spanish dialects, but many more exist. These are the variety groups of Spanish:
1. Spanish on the Spanish Peninsula
Northern Peninsular (Asturias, Castilla y León, Cantabria, Basque Country, Navarre, Aragón, Rioja, Provinces of Guadalajara and Cuenca)
Central-Southern Peninsular (Madrid, Toledo, La Mancha)
Southern Peninsular (Andalusia, Extremadura, and Murcia)
Canarian (Canary Islands)
2. Spanish of the Americas
New Mexican spoken in the USA
Central American
Caribbean (Cuba, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Panama, Caribbean Colombia, and Caribbean Mexico and Gulf Coast Mexico)
Andean-Pacific (Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, West Bolivian, and Andean Venezuela).
Rioplatense (Argentina, Uruguay, East Bolivian, and Paraguay)
Chilean (Chile, Cuyo)
3. Other Dialects of Spanish
Equatorial Guinea Spanish and Western Sahara Spanish in Africa
Philippine Spanish in Asia
Llanito, Spanish mixed with English spoken in Gibraltar
Judaeo Spanish started by Jews who migrated from Spain in the 15th century and now spoken in Israel and Turkey

What About Accents?
Each of the above varieties has regional accents.
My Mexican husband speaks with an accent from Mexico City, but not a strong one as he lived in different places throughout his life. My older daughter speaks with an accent from the Yucatan península, where she picked up her kindergarten teacher's pronunciation and it's stuck ever since. I speak the Mexican dialect but with a foreign accent as it's not my native language.
We all speak the same dialect but you can hear the differences in intonation and pronunciation. Interestingly, I used to speak European Spanish before I met my husband, and my university teachers had different accents within this dialect: Andalusian, Canarian, and the one from Madrid.

And did you know that in 2060 the US will be the 2nd largest Spanish-speaking country in the world, according to a study by Instituto Cervantes? Already, the U.S. is home to 41 million native Spanish speakers. Judging just by these numbers, knowing Spanish will get you more friends and better job opportunities.
Easiest Dialects to Start With
What's the easiest dialect to start with? If you live in the U.S., I suggest opting for one of the Latin American dialects. Out of these, Mexico, Perú, Colombia, and Guatemala have the clearest pronunciation.

Quality of the tools that we use to write software for projects like this is very important when selecting which MCU we may want to use. Atmel has a very robust IDE based on the Microsoft's Visual Studio (which is arguably the best development environment out there). Coupled with a JTAG interface, writing and debugging firmware with Atmel toolset becomes a pleasure.
Their ASF ("Atmel Software Framework") is a good collection of ready to use projects and components. Investing time to learn that environment is the best way to become very efficient when using it.
The gist is, before you decide which MCU to use, definitely check out its software support!
Developing firmware in Atmel Studio is a breeze!
While my verification software was chaotic and was using random example code from ASF just to test each component, my final (should I call, production?) software is based on a FreeRTOS. Starting with a FreeRTOS example from the ASF library for the Atmel SAM3N-EK engineering board, I started making modifications and writing drivers for each part on my board. First thing to change was the basic 16MHz external clock enable. Once that was corrected, I could get FreeRTOS tasks created and run its scheduler.
Then I wrote individual drivers for each component (LCD, LED, temperature sensor, serial port etc.). Controlling LED and pushbuttons was trivial. Getting LCD and temperature sensor working and communicating was more involved.
For the temperature sensor, a DS18B20 chip, I used the scope to check the signal quality on the 1-Wire bus. I could toggle its GPIO in software and the chip started responding. Then I connected a logic analyzer and compared decode of what's actually happening on that 1-Wire bus to what my code was doing. The timings were critical; 1-Wire depended on it. Eventually, my routines to talk to that chip were solid.
All those things now done, the main task was about to be strung together. I implemented the LEFT button to randomly select a "fortune" quote and display it on the LCD. I have compiled in a number of "fortune" quotes.
Pressing the CENTER button would toggle showing the temperature and the uptime. I could get the uptime in seconds from the scheduler. This mode keeps refreshing the information; you could hold your finger on the temperature probe and see the number raising.
Pressing the RIGHT button would change the blink pattern of the 4 LEDs and also generate a random number from 0 to 100 just so you have it.
Software is in...Board is working!!!
Writing and debugging the software was non-eventful by using Atmel Studio and JTAG.
I did hit one problem, though. By selecting the cheapest variation of that Atmel MCU family (SAM3N1A), I was running out of its quite limited 8K RAM. I had to carefully size and balance various FreeRTOS variables such as OS heap and each task stack size. Next time, I would use a stronger chip variation so I don't have to worry about these things.

Judge orders Steve Jobs to answer questions in iTunes antitrust suit
Josh Ong | Mar 22, 2011
Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs has been ordered by a judge to answer questions in a class-action lawsuit accusing Apple of an iTunes Music Store monopoly, according to court documents.
Bloomberg reports that U.S. Magistrate Judge Howard R. Lloyd in San Jose, Calif., authorized on Monday limited questioning of Jobs by lawyers representing consumers in the complaint. Lawyers will be allowed two hours for questions limited to the sole topic of changes Apple made to iPod software in October 2004 that disrupted RealNetworks' Harmony software, which enabled songs purchased from the company's music store to be transferred onto the iPod.
"The court finds that Jobs has unique, non-repetitive, firsthand knowledge about the issues at the center of the dispute over RealNetworks software," Lloyd wrote in a court filing.
RealNetworks caused a controversy in July 2004 when it released its Harmony work-around. Responding to the announcement of the software, Apple quickly released a statement accusing the company of adopting "the tactics and ethics of a hacker to break into the iPod" and warning customers that it was "highly likely" that Real's Harmony technology would not work with future versions of the iPod software.
As self-predicted, Apple disabled Harmony in a subsequent update to its iPod software later that year.
RealNetwork admitted to investors in 2005 that the Harmony technology had put the company at risk to a lawsuit from Apple.
However, such a lawsuit failed to materialize, and now the tables have turned as Apple finds itself on the defensive in the proceedings of an antitrust lawsuit from 2005. Thomas Slattery filed a class-action lawsuit in early 2005 alleging that Apple had violated federal antitrust laws and California's unfair competition law by requiring that customers use an iPod to listen to music purchased from the iTunes Music Store.
Though Apple was successful at having a few individual claims dismissed from the suit through a court filing in 2005, an overall motion to dismiss the case was denied by a judge.
According to the report, plaintiffs had originally requested to more broadly question Jobs about "Apple's refusal to license FairPlay technology to other companies or its decision to use the technology on music purchased from iTunes and the iPod." But given that those claims were dismissed in December 2009, Lloyd rejected the requests.
"Plaintiffs remaining claims rely on the allegation that Apple attempted to maintain a monopoly in the audio download and portable music player markets by issuing updates to FairPlay, Apple's proprietary digital rights management software," David Kiernan, who represents Apple, wrote in a December court filing, adding that "any deposition of Mr. Jobs would be repetitive, at best."
Since the lawsuit was originally filed, Apple has negotiated with music labels for a more open iTunes Music Store. A footnote in a court document notes that, by March 2009, iTunes music tracks are now offered without digital rights management (DRM).
Jobs, who is a survivor of a rare form of pancreatic cancer, is currently on an indefinite medical leave of absence from Apple. After Jobs began his leave in mid-January, speculation arose that his health was in serious decline, with one tabloid publishing alleged photos of an emaciated Jobs at Stanford Cancer Center. Contrary to some rumors, however, Jobs was well enough to take the stage earlier this month for the unveiling of the iPad 2.

This can quickly be shot down, because an iPod is obviously NOT the only way to listen to iTunes store purchased music. You can listen to music on any of the Apple computers, you can listen to it streaming over AppleTV, you can listen to it on an iPhone and an iPad!

I guess it's time to bring out that law suit.
RealNetworks is an extremely shady organization. Interviewing for them back when Real was hot had me end up interviewing with the VP of Technologies who had come over from Avid asking me insider information about QuickTime after I left Apple.
They are scum.
I don't think he liked my turning the interview around on him after he let slip that once we [NeXT] took over, Avid's billion dollar offer for QuickTime was squashed, with Steve's first action as iCEO. I asked him what he learned with such a failure in business, seeing as he was Real's VP of business technologies and acquisitions.
danacameron
But Apple never intended for software other than iTunes to load music onto iPods. That RealNetworks "hacked" their way onto iPods was an unauthorized breach. Apple can't be found at fault for sealing an unauthorized breach into their ecosystem. The judge didn't just dismiss the case for some reason. What am I missing?

What is it about building robots that is so much fun? If you ask a kid, you will likely get a meaningful answer… however when it comes to grown men the wide-eyed fascination of youth has developed into a serious pursuit of quirky techno-novelty. In recent years, drones have joined the venerable robot as one of the top projects for big boys to tinker away at.
Through laser cutting, the design process for both drones and robots is streamlined and fully functional prototypes are just a mouse click away.
Laser cut robots take on many forms, often with a principle function driving the design of structural elements. A good example is the four-legged robot walker pictured above, from user hardmouse on Let's Make Robots. Laser cut MDF body and leg segments support the servos and electronics which enable the robot to move at an impressive pace across smooth surfaces.
When speed is the priority, wheels are the way to go. The distinctive neon green acrylic glows along laser cut edges of the MURCS wheeled robot (below, left) by Robot Freak. This little robot moves about in much the same way as a robot vacuum, and is primed and ready to taunt cats (amongst other important tasks).
A robot of a different sort, Brian Roe's Roy the Robot was lovingly constructed with education in mind. Here we see one raised hand (below, right), highlighting the detail and precision that enabled Roy to win over so many hearts on Kickstarter and beyond.
Inspired by the stately and graceful Strandbeests from Theo Jansen, the laser cut acrylic walker from 4volt (above, bottom-left) has an organic locomotion that is beautiful to watch. Returning to a more traditional robotic mechanism, the grasper claw and robotic arm (above, bottom-right) from letsmake.org is one of those 'learning tools' that would be a lot of fun to subvert and get up to mischief with.
As well as being the focus of much amusement, robots can also provide practical help. The Etch-a-Sketch Bot is perfect for times when your thumbs are worn out from an etch-a-sketch marathon (above, left) and the unusual cardboard ninja robot by romanjurt on Thingiverse (above, right) dispenses smarties while rolling its eyes at you.
Laser cut projects sometimes take on a robot persona without the need for any mechanism or mechanical parts. For example, the laser cut bamboo critters from Dickson Chow (below) are actually sophisticated moisture monitoring devices that will alert you when your house plants start to run dry.
Sometimes it is enough to be robot-shaped and cute. No moving parts, no cogs or gears or electronic components. The delightful Chibipocket series (above) are full of character and help to remind the big boys of where this fascination with robots all began.
Drone enthusiasts are getting pretty excited about the latest commercial products, but that doesn't hold these guys back from having a go with their own DIY laser cut drones. The octocopter pictured above from Jared Reabow on Instructables is a part of a range that includes cleverly resolved gimbals robust enough to support a full sized DSLR camera.
Laser cut acrylic is ideal for drone components. Pictured above are two 'mini racing' drone chassis. The red acrylic of the partially assembled unit from DIY Drones (above, left) and the smooth contours of the clear acrylic version (above, right) from Whiplash42 present a refined visual that laser cut wood can only dream of.
Continuing on this theme, the acrylic drone with built in blade guards from Banana_Science on Thingiverse (below, left) is frugal indeed with a parts and material cost of just $100. Another interesting direction for laser cut drones is to further accessorise and enhance commercial drone products. The transparent acrylic crash guard (below, right) from Phantom Pilots attaches to a DJI drone and shields expensive camera equipment from being a point of impact if the drone crashes.
For the first-timer, it is a good idea to follow through step-by-step with an existing project that has proven success. When it comes to drones, the Shendrone by Andy Shen (below) is cost effective with structural material laser cut from bamboo ply, and a snap-fit assembly means no glues or screws to slow down the construction process.
Whether you're building a two, four or ten-legged walker or a zippy DIY drone, laser cutting enables highly resolved outcomes quickly and at low cost. As we've seen in this small collection of examples, there is a broad scope for what can be considered a 'robot', and while drones require a tighter focus so that they can actually get off the ground, there is still a healthy variability in design options and materials.
Do you have ideas for a clever robot or drone that can be laser cut in the Ponoko Personal Factory? Let us know in the comments below!

Home News and Analysis Firms & Funds Time to Review Your Defaulting Partner Provisions –
Time to Review Your Defaulting Partner Provisions –
Given the past year's economic troubles, general partners of venture capital funds have received an increasing number of calls from non-institutional limited partners claiming that they are unable to continue to meet their capital commitment obligations. This has forced GPs to carefully look at the heretofore ignored defaulting LP provisions of their partnership – and they are quickly realizing that many existing clauses do not allow enough flexibility and authority to deal appropriately with the varied circumstances of individual LP default.
Defaults by LPs impact not only the fund, but also the non-defaulting LPs. Many LPs' capital commitments are primarily based upon such factors as fund size and anticipated investment diversification. A reduction in the size of a fund, for example, could inadvertently trigger LP regulatory restrictions, such as those under banking and ERISA laws, which are dependent upon an individual LP's percentage of total capital commitments. A reduction in a fund's available capital may also impact the number and size of investments that a fund can make, thus significantly impacting LP returns.
In the past, LP default provisions were generally structured not to be "penalty" provisions, which were expressly permitted by the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act but unenforceable under most states' contract law. Thus, the remedies included were painful to defaulting LPs, but not harsh enough to ensure that LPs would take their capital commitment obligations seriously. As a result, many funds' partnership agreements began to contain provisions that, in addition to affording the GP the right to sue the LP and to eliminate voting rights of the defaulting LP, would permit the GP to:
* Impose a high interest rate on the amount owed by the defaulting LP.
* Purchase or offer the fund or other LPs' the right to purchase the defaulting partner's interest for the lower of cost or fair market value (or some discount off this amount).
* Reduce the defaulting partner's capital account or share of profits by 50%.
* Offset the amount in default from future distributions.
These more recently included provisions, while more costly to a defaulting LP, may still not be adequate to convince a cash-poor LP to liquidate its other assets in order to honor its capital commitment to the fund.
A fund's most aggressive line of defense is to sue the defaulting LP to enforce its required contribution obligation. Most funds, however, generally avoid litigation because of its attendant costs, including potential publicity hazards and risk of counter-claims. This aversion to litigation may also decrease the likelihood of imposing an interest charge during the period of default because the GP would now need to go to court to enforce not only the LP's initial capital commitment obligation but also to enforce payment of the interest charge.
A repurchase right, while appealing in theory, may be ineffective in practice. Depending on how the repurchase provision is drafted, particularly if the repurchase price is set at fair market value with no applied discount, it may allow the defaulting LP to walk away from the fund with a substantial return on its investment. Given that many funds often suffer losses near the end of their investment term, an early exit by a defaulting LP may actually provide it with a comparative benefit instead of the deserved penalty. In addition, if the provision is drafted such that it requires the defaulting LP's interest to be offered to all of the fund's non-defaulting LPs, the GP may be faced with an administrative burden and an investor relations problem.
The reduction of the defaulting partner's capital account and/or share of profits by 50% is probably the strongest remedy among those listed above. Many partnership agreements already provide that the capital account can continue to be reduced to make the management fee payments that would have otherwise become due absent the default. This solution will largely eliminate the defaulting LP's capital account by the time the fund is dissolved. Nonetheless, a defaulting LP with even a fraction of its original capital account would still be entitled to receive distributions with respect to such remaining balance, again providing the defaulting LP with some ability to retain value.
In general, GPs would be wise to assume that when they deliver a capital call notice, each LP will make an economic decision as to whether continued participation in the fund has more or less value than other investment alternatives. Thus, to provide proper incentive to the potentially defaulting LP, a GP must make the costs of default greater than the expected benefit defaulting. Moreover, the GP must have an easy, quiet and low-cost method of enforcing its contractual rights.
Delaware law specifically provides for adequate and appropriate defaulting LP provisions that can be included in a limited partnership agreement and will be enforced by the courts. Most venture capital funds are structured as Delaware limited partnerships, whose terms are generally governed by the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act.
Defaulting LPs
In the case of LPs that default on their obligations to the partnership, including default on capital contribution obligations, the act leaves broad discretion to partners as to the terms and consequences that can be included in a limited partnership agreement. Section 17-502(c) of the act clearly states that limited partnerships may impose penalties or consequences for a failure to contribute capital.
Recent amendments to Sections 17-306 and 17-406 of the act have further confirmed the act's intention to allow such penalties or consequences to be imposed upon defaulting LPs. In addition, Section 17-1101(c) of the act expressly provides that maximum effect will be given to the principles of freedom of contract and to the enforceability of partnership agreements.
Although Delaware courts have yet to set limits on the severity of these penalties, the Delaware Supreme Court recently affirmed an earlier ruling that imposed a complete forfeiture of an interest in a general partnership for failure to fulfill a capital contribution obligation because the language in the partnership agreement was unambiguous. GPs should note, however, that where there is ambiguity Delaware courts typically construe contractual provisions against the drafter of the agreement, especially in the case of provisions that are not heavily negotiated. Thus, so long as the remedies for default are drafted in an unambiguous fashion in the partnership agreement, the GP should have wide latitude to impose as severe a remedy as is appropriate for the situation.
Defaulting LP provisions must not only be strong. They also must be adaptable and varied enough to enable a GP to deal with defaulting LPs in a manner appropriate for the circumstances.
The following provisions, in addition to affording the GP the right to sue defaulting LPs and eliminate their voting rights, are suggested to provide the greatest flexibility to the funds to deal properly with defaulting LPs:
* The accrual of a high, non-usurious interest rate on the amount owed by the defaulting LP, plus the agreement to reimburse collection expenses including reasonable attorneys fees.
* A forced sale of the defaulting partner's interest to a third party selected by the GP at a price negotiated by the GP.
* The freezing of the defaulting LP's capital account with respect to allocations of gain coupled with the continued allocation of partnership expenses (including management fees) to the defaulting partner's remaining capital account.
* The right of GP, the fund or other LPs to purchase the defaulting partner's interest for the lower of cost or fair market value (or some discount off this amount), which amount may be paid for by the issuance to the defaulting LP of a non-recourse note bearing interest at the applicable federal rate payable at the dissolution of the fund and secured by the interest.
* The elimination or reduction of the defaulting partner's capital account to any percentage determined by the GP.
* The complete forfeiture of the defaulting partner's limited partnership interest and forced withdrawal of the defaulting partner without payment of any value for such interest.
* The offset of the amount in default from future distributions.
* The elimination or reduction of the defaulting partner's right to receive future distributions.
* The reduction of the defaulting partner's capital commitment to amounts already contributed.
The carefully drafted limited partnership agreement will include a power of attorney or some other mechanism to reduce or eliminate the need for any additional paperwork to be executed by the defaulting LP.
The defaulting LP provisions should explicitly provide that any one or more of these remedies might be implemented at the sole discretion of the GP in order to allow the GP to adapt the provisions to the situation to determine a suitable remedy. GPs should be aware, however, that the flexibility and freedom to contract granted by the Delaware act could contain a few traps for the unwary. For example, the imposition of severe penalties can trigger breach of fiduciary duty claims from defaulting LPs.
The GP can avoid these claims by including a provision in the partnership agreement that states that the GP's discretion to enforce the defaulting partner remedies supercedes its fiduciary duties to the defaulting LP. Section 17-1101(d) of the act permits this language, but its inclusion would not eliminate a GP's duty of good faith and fair dealing.
These claims generally arise when defaulting LPs in similar situations are treated differently. GPs should note that leniency sets a precedent, and Delaware courts would probably not look kindly upon funds that go easy on some defaulting partners while harshly penalizing others in similar situations.
The determination of what constitutes a similar situation lies within the business judgment rule. It permits the GP, in consultation with counsel, to craft the best solution to fit the situation, while putting LPs on notice that defaulting on their contribution obligation may not make economic sense.
