Openflow: Internet 3.0?
A who's who of technology wants to change how the Internet works.
By Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols for Networking | March 23, 2011 -- 10:32 GMT (03:32 PDT) | Topic: Enterprise Software
If it's not broke, then don't fix it. I may make a living on the cutting edge of technology, but I like that advice. Now, just as we're finally switching from IPv4 to IPv6 for the Internet's master protocol, the newly formed Open Network Foundation (ONF) is proposing that we use the OpenFlow as a new standard on how packets are forwarded through network switches and how we'll manage them.
Was packet switching really broke? Did we need yet another network switch standard? Well, actually, according to the researchers who came up with OpenFlow, we don't. Instead, according to their 2008 white paper, OpenFlow: Enabling Innovation in Campus Networks (PDF Link): "The basic idea is simple: we exploit the fact that most modern Ethernet switches and routers contain flow-tables (typically built from TCAMs [Ternary Content Addressable Memory) that run at line-rate to implement firewalls, NAT [Network Address Translation], QoS [Quality of Service], and to collect statistics. While each vendor's flow-table is different, we've identified an interesting common set of functions that run in many switches and routers. OpenFlow exploits this common set of functions."
In other words, the OpenFlow researchers wanted to standardize what a lot of network vendors were already doing. If this had just stayed an academic standard-making effort, this probably wouldn't have mattered much. But, six companies that own and operate some of the largest networks in the world: Deutsche Telekom, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Verizon, and Yahoo! and network powerhouses like Cisco and Juniper joined together to promoting this new approach to networking.
Broadly speaking, OpenFlow is a kind of Software-Defined Networking (SDN). An "OpenFlow Switch," according to the white paper, "consists of at least three parts: (1) A Flow Table, with an action associated with each flow entry, to tell the switch how to process the flow, (2) A Secure Channel that connects the switch to a remote control process (called the controller), allowing commands and packets to be sent between a controller and the switch using (3) The OpenFlow Protocol, which provides an open and standard way for a controller to communicate with a switch. By specifying a standard interface (the OpenFlow Protocol) through which entries in the Flow Table can be defined externally."
The point of all this as noted standards lawyer Andrew "Andy" Updegrove sums up is to "adapt network architecture to streamline its interoperation with cloud computing." It works with the cloud because OpenFlow enables network switches, at very high speeds, to move traffic to the most efficient part of the cloud. In short, in a way OpenFlow switches will also work as a standardized way of handling server and network load balancing.
The New York Times quotes Nick McKeown, one of OpenFlow's founders and a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Stanford, saying, "This answers a question that the entire industry has had, and that is how do you provide owners and operators of large networks with the flexibility of control that they want in a standardized fashion."
For network administrators, the broad argument for OpenFlow is that it will open up hardware and software routers and switches to give them far more control than they have currently. According to the Times, this will let ISP set "up on-demand 'express lanes' for voice and data traffic that is time-sensitive. Or it might let big telecommunications companies, like Verizon or AT&T, use software to combine several fiber-optic backbones temporarily for particularly heavy information loads and then have them automatically separate when a data rush hour is over. For households, the new capabilities might let Internet service providers offer remote services like home security or energy control."
How much difference will it really make? We'll have to wait and see. The potential is certainly there for making large-scale networks and the Internet easier to manage and more efficient. But, will ISPs use it or will they stick to the enormous work of dealing with the switchover from IPv4 to IPv6? My bet is that the IPv6 conversation will keep them more than busy enough. If they get OpenFlow hardware and software in their hands I'm sure they'll be happy to use it as well, but it can't be their first priority for the next few years.

More Than Mom
Later, Baby: What You Need To Know About Freezing Eggs
Thinking about freezing your eggs for the future? Read this first.
BY Katie Martin
In the final season of The Mindy Project, Dr. Mindy Lahiri (played by my fave, Mindy Kaling) opens her own fertility center and targets her business toward young women, encouraging them to say, "Later, baby," and freeze their eggs for the future.
In the episode, her first clients, all college-age women, gather in a slumber party–esque setting to discuss fertility. It's not too far from reality: Egg-freezing parties are gaining popularity across the U.S. as more women consider delaying a family for a slew of personal and professional reasons.
Until pretty recently, freezing eggs was still considered an experimental treatment, a sort of last resort to save a woman's fertility. But in 2012, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine approved wider use of egg freezing and no longer considers the procedure to be experimental—allowing women to preserve and extend their fertility.
So should you freeze your eggs? Here's everything you need to know about freezing eggs before you decide whether to put your eggs on ice.
Why would I want to freeze my eggs?
"As a family law attorney for more than 15 years, I was never quite sure if I wanted to start a family," Evie Jeang, founder of Surrogacy Concierge, tells HealthyWay of her decision to freeze her eggs.
"I did not have the time and had not found the right person," Jeang continues. "I felt that if I went on maternity leave, I would lose a partnership opportunity because I chose to have a child. I was 30 when I first froze my eggs, and at that time, people thought I was crazy. As you get older, doctors and studies show you that your eggs become less viable. So I decided to freeze my eggs again at 35, when my career was a little more established."
"I wanted to extend the time I have to decide on when I want to have children," says Stacy Bean, who also made the decision to freeze her eggs. "My husband and I are getting a bit older, however we're still extremely focused on our careers and not quite ready to have a baby. Freezing my eggs gave us a bit more time to focus on our careers before moving on to having a family."
While we're told that modern women can have it all and no longer have to choose between kids or a career, Jeang and Bean made the choice to delay having a family for the sake of their careers.
A report recently published in The New York Times revealed that while most opposite-sex couples are likely to have similar earnings, after a woman has her first child, the pay gap between spouses almost doubles (and not in Mom's favor). What's more, women who have children between the ages of 25 and 35 are almost never able to regain equal pay, even if they go back into the same field.
Though this study just looked at couples in opposite-sex relationships, all women—regardless of their sexual orientation—who have kids are affected by the gender pay gap. Other studies have shown that women with kids make less than their childless peers (both men and women) in general.
Depressing, right?
An amazing career is just one reason a woman might consider delaying kids and freezing her eggs, though.
Freezing your eggs "offers an opportunity for a woman to act as her own egg donor, should she need it in the future," says Briana Rudick, MD, director of third party reproduction at Columbia University Fertility Center and assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Columbia University Medical Center. "Freezing eggs allows a woman to delay childbearing so that she is free to pursue career, life, whatever she desires."
What is the egg-freezing process like?
The egg-freezing process isn't exactly easy. In fact, it's a lot like IVF treatments (so if you don't like getting shots, brace yourself).
"The process of egg freezing (also known as oocyte cryopreservation) starts with [the] first day of menses," explains Alin Lina Akopians, MD, PhD, a fertility specialist at the Southern California Reproductive Center (SCRC). "Patients visit a reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) specialist on either the second or third day of menses for evaluation. Evaluation generally entails a transvaginal ultrasound to check the ovaries and blood work to check the hormonal status. The patient is then started on a short course of birth control pills for approximately 10 to 12 days. The purpose of birth control pills is to ensure synchronous growth of follicles."
What this really means is that doctors want to be sure you have the best chance of egg retrieval, and the birth control pills help sync egg follicle growth for maximum egg production. After a two-week cycle of birth control, you'll be ready to officially begin hormone injections to stimulate egg production, a process that typically lasts about two weeks.
"Our bodies make only a small amount of those hormones so that we grow only one egg every month (our bodies don't want us having many babies at once)," explains Rudick. During the egg-freezing process, "we have to override that with higher doses of those hormones so that we can get many eggs to grow at once. The hormones are called gonadotropins, FSH and LH."
Once the hormones start working, you'll start taking a suppressant medication like Cetrocide about halfway through the egg-freezing cycle. It seems counterintuitive, but this "antagonist" medication actually stops the body from ovulating too quickly during the cycle. If the eggs are released too soon, they can't be retrieved and frozen.
During the final phase of the cycle, one to two days before egg retrieval, you'll receive a "trigger" medication that basically tells your ovaries it's go time. This injection is sometimes the pregnancy hormone hCG. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) overrides the sex hormone suppressant so that the ovaries can release eggs. The time between injecting hCG and retrieval is critical; wait too long and the eggs may be irretrievable. That's why most doctors will harvest your eggs within 35 hours of administering the hCG.
The actual egg retrieval is considered surgery, but it's minimally invasive. Still, you'll probably be sedated for the procedure, so make sure you have a pal to drive you home and bring you post-op cookie dough ice cream.
The whole procedure should only take about a half hour to complete. The eggs are deposited in a test tube immediately and handed over to an embryologist, who will be freezing your eggs.
You can expect light bleeding, cramping, and soreness for a couple of days after an egg retrieval, but in most cases, you'll be back to normal the next day.
How do real women feel during the egg-freezing process?
"The process was easy once I got the hang of it," says Bean. "At first I was a little intimidated by the injections and making sure I understood exactly what to do and how to do it all. However, the staff at SCRC made that process very easy. They walked me through everything and were there whenever I had questions—even in the late hours of the evening. After the first night of injections, I felt very comfortable.
"I went through two rounds of egg retrievals and felt pretty good through both cycles," Bean continues. "The first time I didn't feel any different in regards to mood swings, etc. My only issue was bloating (which was to be expected). My second round I was a little bit more emotional/moody but had less bloating. I think every round is different, but generally speaking, during both I felt just fine. I was able to go about my days like normal and no one knew that I was even going through the process."
For Jeang though, the process wasn't as easy.
"It was painful for me since I never liked needles or shots, and I was having an allergic reaction with the hormones," she shares of her egg-freezing experience. "Still, I was lucky to know that I had options. Not all women are armed with this information and there is still a lot of educating that needs to be done—to healthcare providers, employers, etc."
Egg freezing will be different for every woman, but if you feel that something isn't right during the process, be your own advocate, and let your doctor know how you're feeling.
How do you get pregnant using frozen eggs?
"Once a patient is ready to conceive, we recommend them to try on their own initially," says Akopians.
If you have difficulty conceiving naturally, your doctor will recommend a round of in vitro fertilization (IVF) using your frozen eggs (which is why you froze them in the first place!).
Before an IVF cycle, women who are planning to use their frozen eggs will take estrogen and progesterone supplements to ready the uterus for implantation. Once your frozen eggs are thawed, they'll be mixed with sperm (either from the intended father or a donor). It takes less than a week for fertilization to occur, at which point the fertilized eggs (now embryos!) will be inserted into your uterus.
What's the success rate of egg freezing?
There are two methods of freezing eggs: slow cooling and vitrification. Slow cooling has been the traditional method of egg freezing. During the slow-cooling process, eggs are subjected to cryoprotective agents (to prevent ice damage) and increasingly cold temperatures before finally reaching a freezing point of anywhere from –22° to –85° F. Once the eggs are at an optimal frozen temperature, liquid nitrogen is added for preservation.
Alternatively, vitrification is a flash-freezing process in which eggs quickly reach freezing temperatures and are subjected to much higher levels of cryoprotective agents before being submerged in liquid nitrogen. Because vitrification has been shown to have much higher success rates, it has become the preferred method of egg freezing for most fertility centers.
Still, the actual success rates of pregnancy using frozen eggs varies.
Successful pregnancy using frozen eggs depends on how old the woman is when she freezes them and how many eggs she has frozen, says Rudick. "The overall success rate once we generate embryos from those eggs is similar to that of regular IVF (controlled for age). However, some of the eggs may not survive the thaw, and/or have a slightly lower fertilization rate—but once we get embryos from those thawed eggs, they tend to do as well as regular IVF."
Ideally, though, Akopians recommends freezing your eggs before you reach the age of 35 for the best chance of conception.
"Pregnancy rates decline as women get older, and the first evidence of this decline is seen in the early thirties. Similarly, the outcomes after oocyte thaw and embryo development [are] largely dictated by the age at which the oocytes were frozen, which is why we generally recommend women to freeze their eggs before age of 35 in order to have the most optimal outcomes."
How much does freezing your eggs cost?
Well, freezing your eggs isn't cheap. Typically, it can cost between $5,000 and $10,000 for an egg-retrieval cycle, plus an extra $500 to $1,000 a year to store your frozen eggs. Then, when you're ready to use your frozen eggs, just one round of IVF can cost between $15,000 and $20,000.
If you're lucky, your employer may help cover the cost of freezing your eggs as a work perk. Unfortunately, though, most insurance providers do not cover freezing eggs, but some insurance providers do cover the subsequent IVF treatments once you decide to use your frozen eggs.
What else should I know about freezing my eggs?
The most important thing to know about freezing your eggs is this: It's your decision to make.
Should you decide to use your frozen eggs, egg retrieval and the subsequent rounds of IVF cycles are no picnic. And the varying success rates show that frozen eggs may not always result in viable pregnancies. Still, if you're on the fence about kids for professional or personal reasons, freezing your eggs is one option to safeguard your fertility for the future.

Essential guide to the highlights of Lucca for cruisers docking at the port of Livorno including reviews, basic info, and photos of major sites to visit.
By: Editor-in-Chief | Date: Septemebr 30, 2021
Lucca is one of the most charming towns in Tuscany and is very close to the Livorno cruise port. It has several attractions, some of which are sites you must visit.
TCruise passengers visiting Lucca on a shore excursion or exploring the city on their own will find that all these highlights are easy to explore. The city is flat, small, and all highlights are within walking distance from each other. For those looking into active exploration, the 2.5-mile walk around the City Walls is the right choice. But you can also explore these walls on a bicycle - the transport of choice for many visitors of Lucca.
Cruise visitors looking for the typical sightseeing tours will be surprised to know that Lucca doesn't have Hop-On Hop-Off Buses: But, considering that highlights and attractions are all close to each other, and the town is so easy to explore on foot, sightseeing buses are not required.
1. Lucca's Cathedral (Cattedrale di San Martino)
Legend has it that the columns on the facade of the Cattedrale di San Martino, Lucca's Duomo, are all different because Lucca held a contest to see who could make the best column. When the contest was over and the artists presented their work the town decided to keep them all. Besides legend, a first church was built on this location on the orders of S. Frediano, the Irish bishop of Lucca who died in 588. However, this church was rebuilt and solemnly consecrated in 1070, in the presence of Countess Matilda of Canossa, by Pope Alexander II (1061-1073). During the 13th and 14th century the church went to a lot of rebuilding in various stages until the final reconstruction of the church, including the reorganization of the facade.

The works continued on and off until 1637 with the completion of the Chapel of the Shrine. Architecturally stunning the Duomo's true treasures lie within where the visitor can admire works of art like 'Madonna and Child with Saints' by Fra 'Bartolomeo, 'Last Supper' by Jacopo Tintoretto, 'Deposition of Christ' by Nicola Pisano, the 'Funeral Monument' of Ilaria del Carretto made by Jacopo Della Quercia and 'Madonna and Child' by Domenico Ghirlandaio. The main highlight is the 'Volto Santo' - see below.

2. Basilica of St. Frediano (Basilica di San Frediano)
The Basilica di San Frediano was built in the early 6th century by Fridianus, an Irish bishop of Lucca. Its Roman appearance is due to work done between 1112 and 1147, but its impressive facade was not added until the 13th and 14th centuries. The huge mosaic depicting the Ascension of Christ was designed by the school of Lucca Berlinghieri in the Byzantine style. Thousands of gold leaf tiles adorn the mosaic so that it sparkles in the sunlight and dazzles at any time of day or night.
Basilica of St. Frediano Facade
The church holds many religious and artistic treasures within its walls, but a highlight of a trip inside the Basilica di San Frediano is the baptismal font just inside the entrance. Created sometime in the 12th century, it was dismantled and hidden for centuries until it was rediscovered in the 18th century. Though unknown who the artists were, it appears that the work was done by three master craftsmen. The bowl is covered with a tempietto that depicts the apostles and represents the months of the year. It rests on pillars inside a large lower basin that have the story of Moses sculpted into its interior. The gorgeous frescoes by Amico Aspertini in the chapel of the Cross are another highlight of the basilica.

3. Amphitheater Square (Piazza Anfiteatro)
Amphitheater Square Buildings
The charming Piazza Anfiteatro has been built over an ancient Roman amphitheater. Unlike other Roman piazzas built on similar ancient sites, Duke Ludovico commissioned architect Lorenzo Nottolini to restructure the piazza in the 1930s so that the ancient building's shape was preserved. Today the picturesque jumble of cafes, shops and apartment buildings lining the piazza still follow the oval shape of the ancient amphitheater. Visitors can still see the outer edge of the stadium's arcade and take a step into the entry ways of some of the apartment buildings to see other remnants of ancient Rome.
4. Saint Michael in the Forum (San Michele in Foro)
San Michele in Foro is a beautiful Romanesque church that was built in the center of Lucca on top of the ancient Roman forum, which is how it got its name. The facade is perhaps even more spectacular than that of the Duomo. Because there was never any money to raise the nave roof, the statue of the Archangel Michel appearing to take flight from the top level has nothing but air behind it. The lower levels were restored in the 19th century and feature busts of Garibaldi and Cavour. The interior is not as fantastic as the church's exterior, but the painting of Saints Roch, Sebastian, Jerome, and Helen by Filippino Lippi are worth a step inside.

5. Palazzo Mansi National Museum (Museu Nazionale Palazzo Mansi)
Palazzo Mansi is one of two national museums in Lucca, the other being the Villa Giunigi. As spectacular as the art collection the palace's decorations dating back from the 16th century through the 19th century are exquisite. Besides the display of paintings by Lucca's artists (Batoni, Tofanelli, Ridolfi, Marcucci), the collection ranges from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century with a few notable pieces by great masters. Among these masterpieces, the following should not be missed: Luca Giordano's 'St Sebastian', the portrait Alessandro de 'Medici by Jacopo Pontormo, Bronzino's Portrait of Cosimo, Correggio's Madonna, the portrait of a Venetian senator by Tintoretto.

7. City Walls Walk (Passeggiata della Mura)
Biking on the City Walls
Right along the top of the wall circling Lucca lays the Passeggiata della Mura, a 2 ½-mile park that is neither in Lucca nor out. There are no railings and the drop down below is 40 feet, so watch where you are while biking, strolling or playing in the uniquely located park.
8. Volto Santo
The Volto Santo is contained within the tempietto in the north aisle of the Cattedrale di San Martino. It is a simple, wooden life-sized Christ on a crucifix that is believed to have been carved by Nicodemus, a witness to the crucifixion. Pilgrims flock to the Volto Santo and every year on September 13th during the Luminaria di Santa Croce, it is carried through the streets in a holy procession. On special ceremony days like this, the Volto Santo is adorned with jewelry usually stored across the street in the Museo Della Cattedrale.

Experimental study of mechanical properties of friction welded AISI 1021 steels
Amit Handa Vikas Chawla
Friction welding is widely used as a mass production method in various industries. In the present study, an experimental set-up was designed in order to achieve friction welding of plastically deformed AISI 1021 steels. In this study, low alloy steel (AISI 1021) was welded under different welding parameters and afterwards the mechanical properties such as tensile strength, impact strength and hardness were experimentally determined. On the basis of the results obtained from the experimentation, the graphs were plotted. It is the strength of welded joints, which is fundamental property to the service reliability of the weldments and hence present work was undertaken to study the influence of axial pressure and rotational speed in friction welded joints. Axial pressure and rotational speed are the two major parameters which can influence the strength and hence the mechanical properties of the friction welded joints. Thus the axial pressure and rotational speed were taken as welding parameters, which reflect the mechanical properties.
Volume 40 Issue 5 August 2015 pp 1639-1655
Evaluation of tensile strength and fracture behavior of friction welded dissimilar steels under different rotational speeds and axial pressures
In the present study an attempt was made to join austenitic stainless steel (AISI 304) with low alloy steel (AISI 1021) at five different rotational speeds ranging from 800 to 1600 rpm and at as many different axial pressures ranging from 75 MPa to 135 MPa and then determining the strength of the joint by means of tensile strength. Furthermore scanning electron microscope analysis was performed to evaluate the pattern of failure at the fractured locations, also the micro hardness was checked at the weld interface and at distances on either side of the weld joint to evaluate the effect of heat. The highest tensile strength achieved by the welded specimens was 1.8% higher than the AISI 1021 steel and the lowest tensile strength obtained was 20% lower than the parent AISI 1021.

Investigation of mechanical properties and hot corrosion behavior of friction welded AISI 304 and AISI 1021 steels
In the current study, friction welding of two different steels, namely low alloy steel and austenitic stainless steel was done. For conducting welding, an in-house experimental set-up was designed and fabricated. The steels were friction welded by using various axial pressures at a uniform circular speed. Influence of axialpressure on the joint strength of the friction welded specimens such as tension, impact toughness, torsion strength and microhardness were evaluated. Moreover, the weldments were also tested for high temperature corrosion resistance. The corrosion testing of the welded joints was carried out in a molten salt environment of Na2SO4 + V2O5 60% at 650°C. Weight change data were used to establish the kinetics of corrosion. Based upon this data, the weldments showing best corrosion resistance was identified. Subsequently to understand the composition of oxide scale, the specimen was evaluated using SEM/EDS and X-ray diffraction techniques.


I'm trying to get comfortable with this potential 'sum of the parts' idea.

It is speculated that with the discovery of fire, person, with experimentation stumbled upon cooking food. But It should be noted that another school of thought has submit that cooking was discovered even before man learned to make fire. They use to plunge there meat in scorching springs and leave it to cook for varying extent of time. Soon they dipped everything in the boiling water to discover how it came out. How was this discerned no person knows for sure, but the one thing for real is, gentleman is the only known types on earth as far as we all know who also cooks. It might be that there are various other species that dabble inside the culinary arts, but all of us haven't found them yet. We still don't know everything's about the earth we go on so the possibilities, though far off still remains of finding some other cooking species. Evidence is said to be present of cooking as far back as one hundred and fifty 1, 000 years ago. This however is usually evidence of cooking with constructed fire. The evidence of baking in the boiling hot coil springs and steam geysers, which will would have pre-dated the development of cooking with constructed fire, cannot be ascertained. However it is being said that it was as a result of animals that have unintentionally tumbled to their deaths on to these natures stoves, that started the cooking fad initially.

Q: How do I atomically read a value in x86 ASM? I know how to atomically write a value in x86 ASM. But how do I read one? The LOCK prefix can't be used with mov.
To increase a value, I am doing:
lock inc dword ptr Counter

How do I read Counter in a thread-safe way?

A: As I explain to you in this post:

Accesses to cacheable memory that are
  split across bus widths, cache lines,
  and page boundaries are not guaranteed
  to be atomic by the Intel Core 2 Duo,
  Intel Core Duo, Pentium M, Pentium 4,
  Intel Xeon, P6 family, Pentium, and
  Intel486 processors. The Intel Core 2
  Duo, Intel Core Duo, Pentium M,
  Pentium 4, Intel Xeon, and P6 family
  processors provide bus control signals
  that permit external memory subsystems
  to make split accesses atomic;
  however, nonaligned data accesses will
  seriously impact the performance of
  the processor and should be avoided.

So use:
LOCK        CMPXCHG   EAX, [J]

LOCK CMPXCHG first fence cache memory and than compare the EAX with destination value, if destination value not equ then the result in EAX is destination value.
EDIT:
LINKs to:
Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manuals
In Volume 3A: System Programming Guide check section 8.1.1
Also check: Optimization Reference Manual section: CHAPTER 7 OPTIMIZING CACHE USAGE

A: I'm not an assembly expert, but word-sized (on x86, 32-bit) reads/writes should be atomic already.
The reason you need to lock the increment is because that's both a read AND a write.

A: For a simple read, it's mostly about alignment. The easiest way to assure atomic reading is to always use "natural" alignment -- i.e., the alignment is as least as great as the size of the item (e.g., 32-bit item is 32-bit aligned).
Misaligned reads aren't necessarily atomic. For an extreme example, consider reading a 32-bit value at an odd address where the first byte is in one cache line, and the other three bytes are in another cache line. In such a case, an atomic read is essentially impossible.
Since (at least most) processors use a 64-bit wide memory bus, the largest item that can hope to be read atomically is 64 bits.

A: It is interesting to read the other replies.  I think @GJ is probably on the money.
For many years it was always true that 32-bit read and write was atomic.  It is only in recent years with the really aggressive caching that this is no longer guaranteed.
I guess that's why I prefer C++, Java or some such between me and the machine code.  These days the machine code is too complex to write reliably (unless you do it a lot to keep your skills sharp).  Luckily, today's optimising compilers are so good that you seldom need the performance of hand-optimised assembler.

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs
Indie Horror Survivalist Strikes Again
Publisher: Frictional Games
Platforms: Linux, Mac, PC
By Anni Simpson on September 23, 2013 at 1:03pm
Indie horror survivalist game "Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs" hit the Steam Store last week on Sept. 10. The second installment to the "Amnesia" franchise was highly anticipated by the gaming community and even offered a $4 discount to players who pre-ordered. "Amnesia" was developed by Frictional Games, the same masterminds behind the original title, as well as the "Penumbra" series.
With so many indie cult hits under their belts, they have some pretty big shoes to fill for their newest release. And with the scariest month in the year coming up fast, I couldn't help but to review "A Machine for Pigs."
"A Machine for Pigs" introduces you into Oswald's foggy state of mind by throwing you into a 19th century bedroom (complete with a caged bed), devoid of lights or human company. The first few moments were spent spinning around the room, unable to completely control Oswald. Although this mechanic was interesting and appropriate for the character, graphical effects like this actually made me queasy, and it wasn't the only time this happened.
From there, you proceed to gather clues, read letters or memos leftover in desk drawers, follow the pig masks, and pick up the ringing telephone. You have the use of a lantern to help guide you around the incredibly dark house, but you should only use it sparingly. Who knows who you'll attract if you spill the light all across the house? You can only do so much – interact with a handful of items, pick up pieces of paper, turn on lamps, push boxes, and move story-relevant items around the room. That's about it, but that's really all it takes anyway.
One of my biggest problems with the game was the inability to really explore the complex nature of Oswald's environment. Although the house was complicated and interesting, there weren't many items you could interact with and too many doors you couldn't access. Exploration was deceptively linear; you could only explore rooms once you'd passed a certain checkpoint. While this isn't a bad concept in and of itself, you were essentially limited to two rooms or hallways at a time. As someone who likes exploring in games, even if it means spending more time discovering the intended objectives, this was disappointing.
However, those are my only main issues with the game. The use of telephone messages from unnamed acquaintances, letters hidden on tables and in desk drawers, and clues littered around each room (some in the form of pig masks) don't stop being interesting as the storyline progresses. Although the use of pig masks is clear – to show you the way in what's effectively a maze – they didn't stop being creepy. The swinging of the lantern, knowing that using it could unveil you, didn't stop being creepy. No mechanic was overused or used inappropriately, and as a result, the mood and the game play worked well together.
The rooms themselves and the items in them were beautifully designed, but they were also kind of flat. For example, plates and silverware on the dining room table on the bottom floor of Oswald's house seemed to have no perspective or shadow.
That said, the style of the rooms, the items, and the outside are gorgeous and drive the mood in the game. The Victorian style could not be a better choice for the game's setting, and the developers have done a good job of making sure individual items (except for the phone, I guess) fit in with the home. They are dark, creepy, and always a little "off" (specifically the green light given off by the lamps).
I can't finish this review without bringing up the sound effects in the game. Early on, Oswald takes you through a room with a piano in the expansive dining hall. A gentle, classical tune guides you through the room until you hit the point in the room that continues the game for you. The piano music changes to something horrible and offkey, like a frustrated player slamming their hands down on the keys. The music – although gorgeous – never lets you forget where you are or what you're doing there. Nor do you forget you're supposed to be scared, because you're in a very, very bad place.
Another example is the jarring way the phone rings when someone calls Oswald to guide him. Messages appear periodically through telephones around the house to help guide you along, but they're done in such a way that it becomes the only sound you hear. If you're a fan of the horror genre in general, you'll know how chilling hearing a phone go off in silence while you're alone can really be. "Amnesia" captured this perfectly.
In this way, the music and sound effects could not possibly be better.
The game has been criticized by others for supposedly getting rid of everything that made the "Dark Descent" good. But I disagree. The second addition to the IP continues to be refreshing in the sea of zombie and military shooters and minimalist indie titles. For all of its flaws, the storyline is engaging enough that it pushed me to continue the game in hopes of learning what exactly happened to Oswald and his creepy, taunting children. The use of short phone messages, dizzy spells when you enter (the correct) room, and the use of background music (best of which was the classical piano piece in the big banquet hall) kept me jumpy and anxious, which is exactly how I wanted to feel considering the genre.
If you liked "The Dark Descent," I'd be willing to bet you'd enjoy "A Machine for Pigs," as well. The game has an excellent mood, a compelling story, and scares me pretty bad from time to time. What more can I ask from a horror game than that?
At the $20 price point, "A Machine for Pigs" is definitely playing. You can purchase it on Steam or GOG for PC or Mac.
1. compelling storyline
2. beautiful setting
3. sound effects appropriately creepy
1. deceptively linear house
2. limited exploration


Factory shops in France – McArthurGlen, Marques Ave. & City, L'Usine.
Factory shopping centres in France and Belgium.
Many centres are now opening on Sunday during the sale period. Please check their web sites for the latest information.
April 2012 – Exceptional sale at Mac Arthur Glen Shopping Centre – Roubaix (near Lille).
Shopping at a factory shop is often a way of getting an item you want but at a much cheaper price. Moreover, a vast range of products is available in one place. Even if travelling through an area on holiday, it's worth making a detour for a shopping spree at one or more of the many Factory shopping centres in France. Worth visiting are; Roubaix, Troyes and Metz – Talange (Clothes), Arc (for glass), Le Creuset (for cookware) and Villeroy and Boch (table and glassware).
Factory shopping centres have grown quickly in recent years. Between 1993 and 2005 for example, the selling area virtually doubled, from 123,000 square metres (7 centres) to 235,000 square metres. Together with the projects currently under way, it will have increased by 121% by 2007 (17 centres). There are about 45 Factory shopping centres in the United Kingdom.
In France, where sales are regulated, last years stock can be legally discounted for sale at factory shops all year round, as well as over production and discontinued lines. Seconds can be bought as well, and we found that these were clearly marked. Also available is overstock from catalogue companies (in France the main ones are; La Redoute, Les 3 Suisses, Vert Baudet and Damart.
Sometimes there are Sunday openings – look at the Sunday shopping page for the latest news.
– Pantheon (First centre opened in Bordeaux in Spring 2008).
Roubaix, north of Lille, has the largest conglomeration of factory shops in NORD / Pas de Calais.

Troyes is about 4 hours driving from Calais (250 miles). Apart from the centre where there are some shops, most of the factory outlets are on the outskirts of town in two main areas; St. Julien Le Villas (Marque City, Marques Avenue) and Zone Pont Sainte Marie (Mc Arthur Glen). Factory shoppings centres originated in Troyes, and the centres here remain the biggest in France.
– Fashion and home centre, 110 retailers; 114 Boulevard de Dijon. 10800. Zone St. Julien les Villas; Directions: A5 Autoroute, Exit 21.
– Decoration, 17 shops specialising in tableware, household linen and decor. 230 Faubourg Croncels. 10000.
By car – From MacArthur Glen to Marques Avenue; (from PONT HOLY MARIE). Follow the D960, then take the left to St Julien les Villas – A5. Follow the by-pass to follow Dijon for approximately 900 metres then turn right towards Troyes – St Julien les Villas. Continue on the by-pass for 1.9kms. At the 1st roundabout. Continue straight ahead towards St Julien. At the 2nd roundabout, follow signs for Dijon. At the 3rd roundabout follow the signs for A5-Dijon. At the traffic lights, turn left towards Dijon. At the 4th traffic light is Centre Marks Avenue.
By train from the centre – There is a bus serving both centres at the SNCF Railway station in Troyes. The bus station is 80 metres away in Bld. Carnot in front of the Tourist Office.
For the centres located at Pont Ste Marie: (Mc Arthur Glen and Marques City); take line 1 from the Carnot/Gare stop. Direct access until Pont Ste Marie. Get off at stop "Magasins".
For the centres located at Saint Julien les Villas: (Marks Avenue, Club of the Marks); Take Line 9 (Gare/Blossires). Get off at "prfecture", and take Line 2 to St Julien/Brviandes. Get off at stop "Magasins of l'Avenue".
We liked the Htel La Maison de Rhodes **** in the centre of the old town. An old building well restored, the rooms and suites are huge and well appointed. Within close walking distance of the beautifully restored old town, we found dozens of restaurants within a few minutes walk (there is no restaurant in the hotel).
If you are coming all this way to visit the Factory shopping centres located in and around Troyes, why not make a fun break of it all and stay somewhere decent like the Hotel La Maison de Rhodes?
Htel La Maison de Rhodes ****, 18, rue Linard Gonthier. 10000 Troyes. Tel: 0033 325 43 11 11.
The breakfast room – fresh orange juice is served with newly made croissents. Breakfast can also be taken in your room.
The courtyard in the day – tea or coffee (or champagne) can be enjoyed here – ideal after a days shopping.
Metz is ideal if you have or are, passing through Luxembourg. Although not as organised as other factory shopping centres, there is a good range of shops here. It is popular with shoppers' from Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands. It is also growing – when we there in March 2012 there was a lot of building work going on.
There is a Centre L'Usine Cote d'Opale here as well.

Luxury shoes from Romans have earned a reputation all over the world. The Romans tourist office publishes a guide to the discount shops located near the factory shops and also offers "Mode and Culture" weekend tours which include accommodation, meals, museum visits and shopping expeditions. The Factory Shopping Centre was opened after the collapse of the old shoe making factories here to help mitigate the losses in employment. Most are situated in the Cote des Cordeliers.

Watch out! There is a lady selling cheese in the market ripping people off. Buy a piece of cheese and find yourself 55 euro lighter. Watch out for "free gifts" put in the bag before weighing. These are usually goats cheese (cheap). The rate per 100 grams is displayed but is shockingly high – 10 x that in the supermarkets. She will helpfully offer to accept less. Stand your ground. Even if a trader has cut the cheese or taken some money, refuse to complete the sale and threaten to call the police. In my case, it was my 93 year old mother in law being taken for a ride before I turned up.

October 2007 – I made a note when visiting the factory shopping centre in Romans, where I saw some Mephisto shoes. A French brand, they are a bit pricey but last for years and are very comfortable. At one of the shops they cost 155 euro, about £116 (exchange rate 1.33 euro to £1.00). The price in the United Kingdom is £149, a saving of 22%.
Ask, the shop may well have something you are after at the back.
Haggle, especially near the end of a sale. Factory shops are there to clear stock and use the sales to do just that.
Check web sites – special "sale days" often give great value (i.e. buy one get the second at 20% off, buy two get the third item free etc.).
Go to the information centre if there is one and ask what shops have offers on.

EXONDYS 51 (eteplirsen) is indicated for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in patients who have a confirmed mutation of the DMD gene that is amenable to exon 51 skipping. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on an increase in dystrophin in skeletal muscle observed in some patients treated with EXONDYS 51. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification of a clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.
Hypersensitivity reactions, including bronchospasm, chest pain, cough, tachycardia and urticaria, have occurred in patients who were treated with EXONDYS 51. If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, institute appropriate medical treatment and consider slowing the infusion or interrupting the EXONDYS 51 therapy.
Adverse reactions in DMD patients (N=8) treated with EXONDYS 51 30 or 50 mg/kg/week by intravenous (IV) infusion with an incidence of at least 25% more than placebo (N=4) (Study 1, 24 weeks) were (EXONDYS 51, placebo): balance disorder (38%, 0%), vomiting (38%, 0%) and contact dermatitis (25%, 0%). The most common adverse reactions were balance disorder and vomiting. Because of the small numbers of patients, these represent crude frequencies that may not reflect the frequencies observed in practice. The 50 mg/kg once weekly dosing regimen of EXONDYS 51 is not recommended.
The most common adverse reactions from observational clinical studies (N=163) seen in greater than 10% of patients were headache, cough, rash, and vomiting.

Der Mexikanische Drüsengänsefuß (Dysphania ambrosioides), auch Epazote, Wohlriechender Gänsefuß, Mexiko-Drüsengänsefuß, Mexikanischer Traubentee oder Jesuitentee genannt, ist eine Pflanzenart in der Familie der Fuchsschwanzgewächse (Amaranthaceae). Diese intensiv riechende Pflanze dient als Heilpflanze und Gewürz.

Beschreibung

Vegetative Merkmale
Dysphania ambrosioides ist eine einjährige, manchmal auch wenige Jahre überdauernde krautige Pflanze, die mit einreihig mehrzelligen Haaren und Drüsenhaaren bedeckt ist und einen intensiven aromatischen Geruch (nach Zitronen, Bohnenkraut oder Minze) verströmt. Die aufrechten oder aufsteigenden, gestreiften Stängel sind bei Wuchshöhen von 0,3 bis 1 (selten bis zu 1,5) Meter stark verzweigt mit zarten Ästen.

Die aromatischen Laubblätter sind meist bis zu 18 mm lang gestielt, die obersten sind oft ungestielt. Die Blattspreite weist eine Länge von meist 2 bis 8 (bis zu 15) cm und eine Breite von meist 0,5 bis 4 (bis zu 5,5) cm auf. Die Spreitenform ist eilänglich-lanzettlich bis lanzettlich mit keilförmiger Basis. Der Blattrand ist unregelmäßig gezähnt oder grob gesägt, bei den oberen Blättern oft ganzrandig.

Blütenstand und Blüte
Die 3 bis 7 cm langen, ährigen Blütenstände setzen sich aus sitzenden kugeligen knäueligen Teilblütenständen mit einem Durchmesser von 1,5 bis 2,3 mm zusammen; diese bestehen jeweils aus drei bis fünf Blüten in der Achsel eines laubblattähnlichen Tragblatts mit einer Länge von 0,3 bis 2,5 cm.

Die kleinen, gelben zwittrigen (gelegentlich weiblichen) Blüten weisen eine Blütenhülle aus (selten drei) vier bis fünf auf etwa der Hälfte ihrer Länge miteinander verwachsenen Tepalen auf. Bei einer Länge von 0,7 bis 1 mm sind sie eiförmig mit stumpfer Spitze, auf dem Rücken gerundet und drüsenhaarig. Es sind vier bis fünf Staubblätter und drei herausragende Narben vorhanden.

Die Blütezeit reicht von Juni bis September. Die Bestäubung erfolgt in der Regel durch den Wind, ist aber auch durch Selbstbestäubung möglich.

Frucht und Samen
Zur Fruchtzeit umgibt die Blütenhülle die Frucht. Die runzelige bis glatte Fruchtwand liegt dem Samen nicht an. Der rötlich-braune bis rötlich-schwarze, horizontale oder vertikale Same ist bei einer Höhe von 0,6 bis 1 mm und einem Durchmesser 0,4 bis 0,5 mm eiförmig mit undeutlichem Rand. Die Samenschale ist glatt oder runzelig.

Chromosomenzahl
Die Chromosomenzahl beträgt 2n = 32. Aus der Chromosomengrundzahl der Gattung Dysphania von x = 8 ergibt sich, dass diese Art tetraploid ist. In anderen Quellen werden auch Chromosomenzahlen von 16, 36 und 48 angegeben.

Photosyntheseweg
Der Mexikanische Drüsengänsefuß ist eine C3-Pflanze mit normaler Blattanatomie.

Inhaltsstoffe
Die Blätter und Samen enthalten bis zu 2 % eines ätherischen Öls mit dem Hauptinhaltsstoff Ascaridol, einem Monoterpenperoxid.

Ökologie
Der Mexikanische Drüsengänsefuß ist eine Nahrungspflanze für Schmetterlingsraupen: so fressen Miniersackträger der Gattung Coleophora, die Dickkopffalter Pholisora catullus und Staphylus mazans sowie die
Eulenfalter Amyna octo und Rachiplusia ou an dieser Art.

Vorkommen
Dysphania ambrosioides stammt aus dem tropischen und subtropischen Nord- und Südamerika. Es hat sich durch Anpflanzung oder Verwilderung weltweit in warmen Gebieten angesiedelt. In Europa ist diese Art in allen warm-gemäßigten Regionen eingebürgert. Da sie nicht winterhart ist, wächst sie in Mitteleuropa nur an besonders geschützten Stellen in den Tieflagen.

In Deutschland tauchte der Mexikanische Drüsengänsefuß erstmals im 18. Jahrhundert auf. Heute wächst dieser wärmeliebende Neophyt in Mitteleuropa selten und unbeständig als Ruderalpflanze in Schuttunkrautfluren, auf Müllplätzen oder an Ufern (im System der Pflanzensoziologie: Sisymbrietea officinalis) auf sehr nährstoffreichen Sand- und Lehmböden. In Südeuropa ist er eine Charakterart des Verbands Chenopodion muralis.

Systematik
Dysphania ambrosioides gehört innerhalb der Gattung Dysphania zur Sektion Adenois .

Die Erstveröffentlichung dieser Art erfolgte 1753 durch Carl von Linné unter dem Namen Chenopodium ambrosioides in Species Plantarum. Sie wurde 2002 durch Sergei Mosyakin und Steven Clemants in die Gattung Dysphania gestellt.

Weitere Synonyme für Dysphania ambrosioides  sind: Ambrina ambrosioides , Atriplex ambrosioides , Blitum ambrosioides , Chenopodium ambrosioides var. suffruticosum  und Teloxys ambrosioides  sowie Chenopodium integrifolium  und Chenopodium suffruticosum . Ein oft fälschlich benutzter Name ist Chenopodium anthelminticum.

Früher wurde auch Chenopodium ambrosioides var. anthelminticum in diese Art eingeordnet, aber nach neueren Untersuchungen wird sie als eigene Art Wurmsamen-Drüsengänsefuß (Dysphania anthelmintica ) geführt.

Trivialnamen und Etymologie
Der Mexikanische Drüsengänsefuß hat zahlreiche deutsche Namen, wie Epazote, Mexikanischer Tee, Mexikanisches Teekraut, Mexikanisches Traubenkraut, Tee-Gänsefuß, Traubenkraut, Wohlriechender Gänsefuß, Mexiko-Drüsengänsefuß, Duft-Gänsefuß, Mexikanischer Gänsefuß, Jesuitentee und Mexikanischer Traubentee sowie Eiche aus Cappadocien, Jesuiter Tee (Österreich) und Merwet (Siebenbürgen).

Das Wort epazote stammt aus dem Nahuatl und setzt sich zusammen aus epatl für Stinktier und sotl, gleichbedeutend mit Schweiß oder Schmutz. Es weist auf den intensiven Geruch des Krautes hin. In Südamerika ist auch das aus der Quechua-Sprache abgeleitete Wort Paico üblich.

Nutzung

Gewürz- und Teepflanze
In der mexikanischen Küche werden frische oder getrocknete Epazoteblätter besonders als blähungsminderndes Gewürz für Bohnengerichte verwendet. Epazote ist vor allem in Südmexiko gebräuchlich. Die Blätter werden als "Mexikanischer Tee" zubereitet. Rohe Blätter sollten nur in geringen Mengen verzehrt werden, da das ätherische Öl giftig wirkt. Die Pflanze kann Dermatitis und andere allergische Reaktionen hervorrufen. Auch die Samen sind gekocht essbar. Um die Saponine zu entfernen, sollten sie vor dem Kochen über Nacht in Wasser eingeweicht und gut abgespült werden.

Heilpflanze
Der Mexikanische Drüsengänsefuß ist eine vielseitig genutzte Heilpflanze. Wegen der desinfizierenden Wirkung des Ascaridols vermindert die Zugabe von Epazoteblättern zu gekochten Bohnen die sonst leicht auftretenden Blähungen. Ein Aufguss der Blätter wird bei Verdauungsproblemen, Kolik oder Magenschmerzen angewendet (Karminativum).

Er wirkt auch gegen Husten (Antiasthmatikum). Äußerlich als Umschlag wird er bei Haemorrhoiden, Insektenstichen oder Schlangenbissen und zur Wundheilung eingesetzt. Er wirkt schmerzlindernd (Analgetikum) und gegen Pilzerkrankungen (antifungal).

Der früher zu dieser Art gezählte Wurmsamen-Drüsengänsefuß oder Wurmkraut ist besonders ascaridolreich. Seine Samen oder das daraus gewonnene ätherische Öl waren in der Volksmedizin seit Jahrhunderten als Wurmmittel gebräuchlich und auch gegen Ruhr-Amöben (Dysenterie) wirksam. Wegen der Giftigkeit sollte diese Behandlung unter ärztlicher Überwachung und nicht bei Schwangeren erfolgen.

Weitere Nutzungen
Das ätherische Öl aus der Pflanze findet auch in Kosmetikprodukten Verwendung. Die Pflanze wirkt insektizid und wird als Repellent gegen Moskitos, als Zusatz im Dünger gegen Insektenlarven sowie gegen Läuse und Bettwanzen eingesetzt. Sie dient auch als Färbepflanze, wobei gold-grüne Farbtöne erzielt werden.

Athletic Lab is home to professional athletes, young kids and adults looking to be the best version of themselves they can be. Our community is an incredibly diverse group of goal-oriented and hard-working individuals. Each month we highlight one (or more) of our members in our member of the month feature. For the month of October, we've chosen the North Carolina Courage Football Club. The Courage have trained at Athletic Lab the past 2 years and Athletic Lab's Mike Young is on staff with the team as their Director of Performance.
In late September, the Courage capped what is arguably the most dominant season in women's professional soccer history. During the 2018 season, the North Carolina Courage claimed a historic treble, winning the Women's International Champions Cup over Paris St Germain and Lyon, the NWSL Shield and the NWSL Championship. Along the way the team broke multiple records in the most dominant and most successful U.S. women's professional soccer season to date. During the regular season the team set the NWSL records for wins (17), regular-season points (57) and regular-season goals (53). The team stormed through the post-season making their second consecutive league final by beating the Chicago Red Stars 2-0 and the Portland Thorns 5-0.
