I apologize for the audio on this one. I had some issue during tracking, hopefully will be resolved by next episode.
I know there are some parts where I said a different word than I intended .
The Blood Is Not From Abuse! That Woman Is An Assassin!
This is something that I needed to get off of my chest. I have a feeling not a lot of people will not agree with me on this and will probably piss you off. At this point I refuse to apologize for something that is my opinion or allow anyone to make me feel guilty over.
If this causes you to unsubscribe I will completely understand, but will still wish you well.
Regular episodes will begin again next week.
That way you can receive episodes and listen to them on the go when they are released.

Holy crap on a stick. I've been doing this for four full years. That is gratifying in some ways and utterly depressing in others. But as many laments that I have over myself and the path that my career, or rather lack of one, I choose to spend this time over what I have accomplished than what I have failed at. It seems year over year I have posted more despite a 4 year stint of stagnation of which I can't remember what happened at all. 47 posts here at The Game Critique over last year's 33 and the year before's 24. However, the vast majority of them are link pieces to my writing elsewhere.
I fell down on the job. I had weekly stints at two sites and by February I had tripped and was unable to keep up with the schedule. I was unused to that type of work and I'm extremely grateful that my own failings were not enough to burn bridges. Both Patricia of Nightmare Mode and Christopher of PopMatters were willing for me to come back. Poor timing on my part in the case of the former as NM soon went into a big restructuring. But with PopMatters I emerged better than I was before have kept a weekly schedule, plus or minus a hiccup or two with the back end and Hurricane Sandy. It happened by accident, but I noticed and it has been the most helpful thing it keeping a schedule.
Last year at both PopMatters and Nightmare Mode I was given any writer's dream. A weekly column where I can literally write about anything I want. You know the phrase, "be careful what you wish for" say to a writer they can write whatever they want and their mind immediately goes blank. I got lucky early on, but soon the freedom was too much. I soon learned I need direction and it just so happened when I was succeeding I had inadvertently given myself direction. I had given myself a monthly topic where every post would relate to it. Before my collapse I wrote four pieces for PopMatters on Driver: San Francisco (plus one for Nightmare Mode), which are still held by some as the gold standard on the game and me the expert. Then at my return I did a month on the Uncharted franchise. This was about when I realized what I needed to do and with October on the horizon it was easy to figure out. October was horror month, focusing on a different horror game each week. And November, running into December, was for a different big profile indie game – Journey, Papo & Yo, The Unfinished Swan, Mark of the Ninja and Primordia.
I've also made some internal decisions about my PopMatters column, in that it will focus on the games. I did it by happenstance up until now, but it has served me well as a catalyst to actually play the games I have and write about them. This was the first year that I've done traditional commercial reviews. I've tried to take what I've learned about criticism and everything I've said against other reviewers into my own work. If nothing else, I find it a truly cathartic process.
After my work on PopMatters, the biggest thing I did and the project that completely derailed my efforts to do anything at all with my work was my Clarification of Genre series. With as much effort, thought and work that I put into it (doubly so on a plan to release a post a day) I am really disappointed with how much it failed. Some found it interesting and I know at least one designer found it actually helpful, but ultimately it is one of those useless categorization efforts that I am want to rail against. Even I was unhappy with it almost as soon as it was done. I don't know if that's due to the actual content or the fact it cause me to lose 4 months of my life in between updates. Either way, it's something I did and I must recognize that.
Finally, there was a bunch of miscellaneous writing pieces I did here and there. Two link round-ups of other people's thoughts on Girlfriend Mode and Political Correctness in video games. Neither as impressive as The Ebert Response, but then what could be. I posted my RPG Lineage Chart, which was really my prewriting for a post no one remembers, which got traction by virtue the gaming community really likes charts. A takedown that I did more out of obligation to the writer who was hurt by a tweet of mine and I felt I should fully explain myself. I also wrote a critical response to some post I don't remember, a rebuttal to the examples used against video game twists and a nice piece on Flower as a sort of capstone to last year's Limbo hate. Then two BoRT entries and a review looking for a home.
I said jokingly to Kris Ligman, my compatriot over at Critical Distance, that my greatest remembered accomplishment of the year would be the first 50 seconds of part 4 of the year-end podcast. In looking over everything I've published this year, I think that might be more accurate than I realize. The CDC podcast is another thing I fell down on. I release episode 9 (out of order) early in the year and the next episode was the year-end spectacular, longer than ever, 11 months later. What sticks the knife even further in is that I have 4 episodes waiting to be edited in the wings. That will be rectified.
All in all, it wasn't a terrible year. I'm really excited for the year to come. I've got a lot of games to catch up in 2013 and a few ideas knocking about in my head. Who knows maybe I'll actually finished one of these rough drafts that have been sitting on my desktop for nearly two years. Maybe that Brendan published his book of criticism on a single game, I'll get my notes together and finally do the same. Maybe my brain will be fresh with new writing ideas and maybe I'll finally learn how to work in an industry rather than just blogging all on my lonesome. And maybe I'll stop kidding myself and burn the whole endeavor to the ground. The best part is that I don't know and I feel the future filled with potential good or bad. I haven't felt like this in a while and I want to use it keep my momentum going.
From TheGameCritique to all of you, have a Happy New Year.

If you are interested, Eric, I could help you with the audio editing. I'm going to be looking for more audio (and video) projects in 2013 anyway, and wouldn't mind helping out Critical Distance some. Plus, there is a very good chance I may be back to only doing stuff for VGHVI pretty soon too.
Actually, along those same lines, I don't know if you are still interested in trying to arrange a D&D/Bhaloidam session with people from the greater video game blogging sphere as we talked about months ago on Twitter, but that might be another of my projects this year. We (VGHVI) have had some success (and, yes, technical problems) using Google Hangout + Mumble, but I'm convinced it holds the best promise for virtual board/tabletop gaming currently.
No, I'm good with the CDC podcast. In the right frame of mind I find the editing therapeutic and usually isn't the massive time dump that the end of year podcast is.
Don't know how it would work fully. Haven't put much thought into it, but I would like to play D&D again. I've played so very little, because getting a group for any kind of time is nigh impossible for me. Keep me posted for what's happening there.

Students Forbidden to Sell "Christmas Trees"
This story is the shizzle. (Is that how you spell that?) I was checking out Pewsitter and this story just jumped out at me. A community college after forbidding students from selling "Christmas trees" and demanding they call them "holiday trees."
So after the college jumped ugly on the baby Jesus, the Alliance Defending Freedom is now pushing back. Don't you think that one of the great changes in recent years is that faithful people can lawyer up with firms that deal with this kind of asshattery all the time.
A North Carolina community college has been accused of violating the First Amendment rights of students after they told a club they could not use the word "Christmas" to promote a Christmas tree sale.
"It's ridiculous that anyone would have to think twice about using the word 'Christmas' as part of a Christmas tree sale," said Matt Sharp, an attorney with Alliance Defending Freedom.
ADF sent a letter to officials at Western Piedmont Community College urging them to either reconsider their decision to censor the word "Christmas" – or else face a possible lawsuit.
College officials did not return multiple phone calls and email messages seeking comment.
The student club, called the BEST Society, was planning to sell the Christmas trees to raise money for Angel Tree, an organization that provides Christmas presents to children.
Club members followed college protocol and submitted forms to promote the sale. The proposed text read, "The BEST Society will be selling Christmas Trees…"
But when the announcement appeared on the college's website and in other venues – it had been altered. Ever reference to "Christmas Trees" had been replaced with "holiday trees."
Attorney Sharp said students immediately contacted the college's community relations director to find out what happened.
The community relations director allegedly told the students, "We cannot market your trees in association solely with a Christian event."
As a result of the change, the club began receiving complaints from the community – and some customers told the students they would not purchase trees because of the change in wording.
"Not only is it perfectly constitutional to use the word 'Christmas,' it is unconstitutional to prohibit use of it," Sharp said. "This is another perfect example of the immense misunderstanding that far too many college officials have about what the First Amendment truly requires."

Forcing people to call a Christmas tree a holiday is stupid because of the obvious: they are in fact Christmas trees. But there's something about this war on Christmas I never understood.
We're always told that the reason behind whitewashing Christmas is that some people could get offended. But what is it about Christmas that some people find offensive? We're always told that some people get offended, but they never tell us why. I suspect that it might be due to some people who insist on taking issue with all that is right in the world. I hope I'm wrong.
The irony is that almost all American non-Christians do celebrate Christmas, anyway. They call it Christmas among themselves. And it's been a long time since I heard anyone complain about Christmas decorations, trees, or greetings, if I ever have. The people who say Christmas offends them represent a very tiny percentage of the country.

Being offended is a personal opinion that ought not be imposed on everybody. Insurance companies called hurricane Sandy an "act of God". Volcanoes in Ecuador, New Zealand and Hawaii are melting the permafrost to bring about a Great Flood. Jesus Christ is the greatest act of God. Some useful idiots want to impose upon us, tax us and deny us as though they could prevent an act of God. Let them see to their own house first.

In parts of Germany and eastern France, the fir-tree-inside-the-house holiday was, at least through about the 1920s, Corpus Christi, not Christmas, so maybe that's what they mean by "holiday tree".
@SF : "They" mean to irradicate any sense of the human being's soul to make property of the state, beasts of burden, taxpayers without souls to encumber their agenda, of us. Hitler did not invent Nazism, not Stalin nor Marx communism. Hitler extracted from the people their unexamined will to be "Superman" and used the people to gain status, same with Stalin, and Marx and Herod. Fools all. Hitler gave his people what they wanted at the price of their souls. America is giving the atheists what they want at the price of our souls.

A prominent female presence in the historic artisan workshops of Florence has been on the rise lately. "More women are taking over these family businesses than ever before," says Alessandro Sorani, Vice-President of Confartigianato and President of Artex, two artisan-promoting associations in Florence. "While women used to do this as a hobby, they're now becoming bona fide entrepreneurs." And they're changing the artisan landscape of Florence – arguably the most vibrant in Italy.
"Being an artisan is about so much more than just manual skill," says embroiderer Caponi. "It's also imagination, inventiveness, constant experimentation." Her mother Loretta Caponi opened the eponymous shop, now located in Palazzo Aldobrandini, in 1967, and jet-set clientele has counted Lady Di and Madonna. Exquisite hand-embroidered products – from lingerie to linens to children's clothing – fill the fairy-tale, fresco-ceilinged boutique.
"When I started in the 1970s, women artisans mainly stayed in the back of the family shop," says jewellery designer Angela Caputi, who bucked tradition by building her own empire from the ground up. Now you can find Angela Caputi Giuggiù shops in Paris and Milan. Inspired by the golden age of Hollywood and beloved by Florence fashion mavens, her resin-based bijoux have been exhibited at the Met in New York.
Next door to Caputi's flagship Oltrarno store is the boutique-atelier of Quelle Tre, three dressmaking sisters continuing a tradition begun by their grandfather in 1930. These couturieres have been crowned the Florentine queens of 'non-fashion' because of their nonconformist approach and the timeless style of their asymmetrical, boldly coloured hand-stitched garments.
Paola Locchi's glass-grinding shop dates back to the 19th century when her husband's ancestors worked for the Grand Duke of Tuscany. The feisty Locchi runs her Oltrarno bottega with daughter-in-law Giovanna. Applying the same techniques it uses to repair and reproduce antique pieces for European aristocrats, the Locchi workshop also manufactures refined hand-engraved crystal objects – vessels, cruets, candlesticks – for sale.
Though Sicilian in origin, Erin Ciulla grew up and studied art in Toronto before moving to Florence and taking over the locally renowned bookbinding shop Il Torchio ten years ago. "I've always had great Florentine craft people that have embraced me and always reached out a helping hand," says Ciulla, who specialises in making customised notebooks with sumptuous local materials.
Another Oltrarno newbie is calligrapher Betty Soldi, who runs the design studio and store &CO. Soldi comes from a long line of (male) Florentines who've been hand-making fireworks since 1869. "But then my dad had two girls," says Soldi. Rather than taking over the family business, she travelled the world working for various designers before returning to Florence six years ago. A delightfully eclectic mix of upcycled vintage furniture and objects hand-painted with Soldi's elegant, signature script fills the shop.

Satcoms: an enabler for a greener planet
Rupert Pearce, Inmarsat CEO
Share the post "Satcoms: an enabler for a greener planet"
The State of Broadband Report is published annually by the United Nations-backed Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development. Commissioner Rupert Pearce provided the following insight for the 2019 report, issued last week.
Communications technologies today are being called on to do more – to solve more important problems on a larger scale – than ever before. Nowhere is this more true than in the area of two of the greatest planetary challenges facing humanity: preservation of our natural resources and protection of the global environment.
Climate change, a growing population and concerns around environmental sustainability are challenging all industries to produce more, while inflicting less damage on the world around us. Satellite technologies are, and will increasingly be, a key component to meeting these challenges.
Across diverse sectors such as energy, agriculture and transportation, satellite communications are enabling Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions that are enabling companies to collect and leverage data about their operations to improve efficiency and realise new capability, while also improving their stewardship of our shared environment.
The energy sector – undergoing transformation
The energy industry is in an unprecedented state of transformation. Satellite-enabled IIoT applications are helping the industry meet increasing demands from governments, consumers and activists to reduce non-renewable energy consumption and humanity's impact on the environment. The sector also has a great deal to gain in terms of increased outputs and profitability by harnessing smart technologies such as IIoT.
IIoT technologies are useful in all phases of the energy production and distribution supply chain. In the exploration phase, IIoT can help accelerate and enhance seismic data acquisition and analysis to improve production performance, leading to the faster and safer extraction of gas or oil. In the extraction and drilling process, IIoT can enable real-time process monitoring and predictive maintenance improving the efficiency of operations and reducing harmful environmental impacts.
Energy distributors build and operate vast networks of pipelines, from which they can gather datasets to monitor the integrity of pipes and deploy a rapid response if they detect a leak, through pressure monitoring sensors. IIoT sensors can similarly help to optimise supply and demand forecasting, as well as pipeline operations. As oil and gas is distributed across continents through expansive pipelines, IIoT-connected sensors can immediately alert authorities to leaks and accidents, reducing the risk of environmental harm and impact.
Research conducted by Inmarsat has shown that over half of distribution companies expect to use the data generated by their IIoT solutions to monitor and improve productivity (57 per cent). And crucially, extraction companies are strongly focused on the opportunity to use IIoT data to better monitor environmental changes (38 per cent) and to improve health and safety (43 per cent).
Agriculture – data supporting intelligent decisions
IIoT solutions are also helping agricultural businesses use natural resources more efficiently while also reducing the harmful by-products of their activities. One way that satellite technologies are helping these organisations do this is through the delivery of projects that involve the installation of IoT sensors monitoring soil and leaf humidity.
Utilising a Low Power Wide Area Network to connect the sensors with a satellite gateway, the resulting data allows farmers to make more intelligent decisions about their water usage and can even be used to automate water delivery to ensure it is only delivered for irrigation as needed. This prevents depletion of fragile water supplies, ensuring that ecosystems remain intact.
Another function that IoT sensors can provide is carbon dioxide monitoring. As governments are under greater international pressure to restrict some agricultural activities such as burning, placing sensors in areas where burning has traditionally occurred will indicate those farming organisations playing by the rules, and those who are not.
Transportation – global CO2 emissions on the rise
The transportation sector is also driving down its carbon footprint and minimising negative environmental impacts using satellite-enabled IoT. The International Transport Forum estimates that heightening travel demands could see global CO2 emissions from transport increase by 60 per cent by 2050. Without significant progress with the adoption of greener technologies, that figure could be considerably higher.
IoT could have a considerable impact on the emissions of logistics companies today. Using diagnostic sensors, smart telematics and other technologies to gather engine status data and automatically notify fleet managers of anomalies can help limit CO2 emissions due to faulty equipment, engine damage and even poor route planning. This data can also help extend the lifespan of vehicles, reducing emissions and minimising wastage.
But the defining challenge of the transportation industry is that vehicles can go everywhere, even places where other network technologies are not, especially into the skies and onto the seas which only satellite technology can reach. Making informed decisions in real-time depends on having data available at all times. To achieve that requires the continuous and reliable connectivity made possible by mobile satellite communications. Utilising satellite-enabled IoT to make strategic adjustments will enable transport organisations to realise significant gains in environmental sustainability and for the global logistics industry to benefit from seamless, pervasive situational awareness as material moves from its centre of production to its final destination across road, rail, air cargo and even ship.
Energy, agriculture and transportation are just three examples of industrial sectors that are leveraging the impressive ubiquity, capability and reliability of connectivity, and specifically satellite-enabled IIoT technologies, to reduce harmful environmental impacts and take better care of our natural environment. As demands for such measure continue to grow, these connectivity technologies will continue to innovate to meet them.

Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga Romance Rumors Were 'Difficult' for Irina Shayk
By Nicholas Hautman
Bad romance? Bradley Cooper's demanding schedule for A Star Is Born drove a wedge between him and Irina Shayk — and those Lady Gaga romance rumors didn't help either.
Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk: The Way They Were
"The movie had a major impact on Bradley and Irina's relationship," a source says exclusively in the new issue of Us Weekly of the former couple, who broke up earlier this month after more than four years together. "Even though there was nothing romantic between Bradley and Gaga, the noise was difficult for Irina to deal with."

Cooper, 44, and Shayk, 33, fell in love in early 2015 and stayed together through the 2018 release of A Star Is Born and the subsequent awards season. Even as the actor and Gaga, 33, dominated headlines for their steamy on- and offscreen chemistry, the Russian supermodel stuck by her boyfriend's side. (The pop star, for her part, ended her engagement to talent agent Christian Carino in February after two years together.)

Another source tells Us that Gaga "felt bad" about the rumors surrounding her and Cooper, and she "isn't going to get together" with him after his breakup with Shayk, with whom he shares 2-year-old daughter Lea.

A swift conclusion and a quick implementation of the most important trade agreement ever negotiated by the EU was a personal commitment undertaken by the President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker and the Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe. During a bilateral Summit and at the margins of a G7 Summit, both leaders provided political leadership at the highest level in order to accelerate and finalise negotiations in 2017.
The EU and Japan are also in the final stages of negotiation of a Strategic Partnership Agreement. Upon entry into force, it will upgrade the political relations between the two sides by reinforcing political dialogue, affirming shared values and common principles, and enabling closer cooperation to tackle common challenges, bilaterally and in multilateral fora.

The story is told by a third-person narrator, shifting periodically between the perspectives of the two main characters, Sai and Biju.
The novel is written in the past tense.
The title presents a paradox, because an "inheritance" usually involves a gain or an asset rather than a loss. Kiran Desai wants to provoke the reader's reflections on how such a gain or an asset could really turn out to be a loss or how two apparent opposites—gain and loss—might coexist. The title also suggests that the characters featured in the novel inherit the loss of the Indian national identity to British imperialism.
Biju Young Indian immigrant; works illegally in New York restaurants Sai Sensitive teenaged girl educated at home; orphaned as a young child Father Employer Friends Servant Grandfather Tutor, then lover Cook Humble, faithful servant, good storyteller; devoted to son Judge Patel Retired, disagreeable, Anglophile judge; victim of prejudice Gyan Young Nepali tutor; becomes politically radicalized and militant Saeed Saeed Upbeat Zanzibari immigrant in New York; marries to get green card Harish-Harry Greedy, exploitative owner of Indian restaurant in New York

I didn't like anything. Was disappointed.
Place is in a building without any sign, difficult to find. Neighborhood is not nice and I had impression it is not very safe. Not good for couples, dirty, and unclean... Ok is just position, not very far from airport, and that is all!
First off trying to find this place is pretty difficult. Thankfully my Uber driver was awesome, and found it by calling them. It was different than I was excepting. I slept in my sleeping bag, because it didn't seem that clean. It was not at all in a safe location, although the building was a locked apartment complex. It's really not that close to the airport, because of how the roads work to get there. Overall I would probably stay somewhere else, but the people that I interacted with were all very nice.
The people were very nice and welcoming.
Even location is good, which is near the airport and there t two supermarkets near this place. BUT the street seems not safe and chaotic, i think it's not appropriate for female. And the hot water is not really hot enough, especially for winter. And i also don't know why the price on booking.com is US38 but when i arrive the stall told me was US 40.


I hope you can join myself and my band June 9th for Rock for Mental Health at the Marquee Ballroom to raise money for a cause near and dear to my heart. The Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia does important work. Tickets are available now, grab them here.
Here's a performance of "Rehtaeh" we did for CBC's "Q" last year. Thanks to The Ceeb for having us, and to Aaron Goldstein and Liam O'Neil for playing with me.
I sat at my piano Monday evening with my family at our dinner table and began to cry. I was, and still am, gutted and exhausted emotionally. I've watched with sadness, like many of you, the unraveling moral fabric of the United States government. I read with horror of the murder of six fathers in Quebec City while worshiping, a civil liberty afforded to every person of this nation. I tend to believe that this is merely an episode, and that one day before too long this too shall have passed. In the meantime, those of us who refuse to live in fear, in ignorance, and without empathy must do what we have to do to sleep soundly. All I can do is sing.
Woody Guthrie wrote these words in the 1940s. My hero, Bruce Springsteen, sang them in the '80s. I'd never venture to interpret these words in any one way, but no one would dispute that the message is one of uniting. Guthrie and Springsteen have found themselves on the right side of history. Unity will always be on the right side of history. Division will not. Last night, I felt like I had to add my voice to the millions south of our border who are demanding better. I needed to join the masses of Canadians of every "stock" who were mourning the loss of our fellow countrymen. This was the only way I could do that.
This is what all my heroes have done in the past. They've used what voice they have to amplify the voices around them that need it most. What little I can do, I sure hope it helps.
I give you this song, I hope it lifts your spirits a little. I ask that in return, you consider donating to the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, or any organization you see fit. Just do something with this to make someone else's life easier today. Do something that makes someone feel welcome today. Do something that makes someone feel loved today.
What we're losing in this darkness will be found again in the light those of us shine in these times of trouble.

Natarsha Belling - Bachelor of Arts (Communication - Journalism) - 1996
TV news presenter
Natarsha Belling is one of the most recognised presenters on Australian television.
Having dreamt of becoming a journalist from a very young age, Natarsha chose to study her Bachelor of Arts (Communication - Journalism) at CSU due to the course's excellent reputation in the industry.
After reading her first international news bulletin at just 21, Natarsha now has close to two decades reporting and breaking some of the nation's biggest stories.
Here Natarsha shares her passion for telling people's stories and gives an insight into why she feels privileged to work in the Australian news media.
I was the first in my family to attend university and I feel incredibly blessed to have been given the opportunity of a university education. For previous generations, like my parents, their first priority was to get a job, not to further their education. My parents were incredibly proud when I decided to attend university and I am forever grateful they worked so hard to give me the chance to follow my dreams.
I'm currently... a national journalist and weekend news presenter for Network Ten Australia.
My childhood was... incredibly exciting, but very relaxed. I was born and raised in the country and loved every moment.
As a child, I was most curious about... everything! I was known for always asking questions and Mum says my favourite word was WHY?
At school I... had lots of fun but also worked incredibly hard. I needed a very high TER (Tertiary Entrance Rank) to be accepted into the journalism degree at CSU in Bathurst.
I chose CSU because… I always dreamed of being a journalist and the journalism course at CSU had the best reputation in the news business.
My best experience at CSU... learning so much and having lots of fun along the way!
My worst experience at CSU... Early morning lectures were always a struggle after bar night!
At university I was inspired… to chase my dreams and become a journalist.
Today I'm motivated… to always improve and never stop learning.
In my profession it is important to… be accurate, compassionate and calm.
I never dreamed I would… become a news presenter. I always dreamed of being a journalist and having the opportunity to also present the News is certainly the icing on the cake.
The biggest influence in my life... my mum and dad.
I'm most proud of… my marriage and two young sons.
My greatest achievement is... being a hands-on mum and also a dedicated and hard-working journalist.
I love telling people's stories and I feel incredibly blessed to work in the media industry. It's a great privilege to be a journalist and great journalism is fundamental to a democratic society.
In the future I'd like to… slow down!
The topic I Tweet about most is... breaking news
The best piece of advice I ever received... have respect.
The thing I wish I had done but never got around to... writing a book.
If I could do it all again I would... not to be so hard on myself. But I don't have any regrets, just life lessons.
One last thing... details after the break…


Air is very important to introduce into any pond, whether this is for a Koi Pond - or just a water garden. That is why it is important to have an air pump.
All living things need oxygen to thrive--this of course include Koi and also the bacteria that live in our biological filters. Aeration is vital to maintaining a healthy pond or water garden. You can accomplish proper aeration through the use of an aerator or air pump, or creating waterfalls and fountains. Your pond can receive additional and often necessary air with the addition of an air pump.
Oxygen in ponds comes from two sources--photosynthesis and diffusion from the air. The most important source, photosynthesis, is the process plants use for manufacturing food. In the presence of sunlight, plants (especially algae) add oxygen to water as a by-product of photosynthesis. At night, no oxygen is produced, but respiration of algae, fish and bacteria continues to remove oxygen from the water. Most of the time there is a desirable balance between how much oxygen is produced and how much is used, but under some conditions, the balance can be upset, and the oxygen concentration becomes low enough to stress or kill fish. The amount of oxygen in pond water can vary considerably from pond to pond and from hour to hour. Typically, oxygen concentrations are lowest at dawn and highest during late afternoon.
Water holds less oxygen as it becomes warmer.

k, v are both char(10), not null.
With the js code above, I am able to achieve 1300/sec on a dual-core 2.9GHz Virtualbox vm (ubuntu 10.10 32bit). When the same test is conducted on Apache2 + php5, I am getting about 800/sec. If I opt-for the single connection mode (use 'mysql' instead of 'mysql-pool'), the result is only a little better than apache + php combo. The use of node module cluster is to take advantage of the dual-core cpu (node would run with in single-core mode due to its single-threaded nature).
You need to insert or update a large number of rows (at least hundreds of thousands) from an external data source (either from other database or file) into an existing mysql table but you are not allowed to truncate the table first because data source contains less number of columns than the existing table. The external source has a column that will be checked against the table's primary key to determine if a record is new or not. For new records, using bulk insertion is pretty easy. Updating existing rows is quite a different story as there's not yet an official way to do "bulk" updating. Prepare/Execute method might help a bit but still the performance is not satisfactory.
Please note this table doesn't have to have exactly the same data structure as tbl_A, as long as it holds the columns that will be used in step 5 and it's also a good idea to remove any indexes to speed up insertion (to the temporary table).
How much performance gain do I get by using this method? 45 minutes (bulk insertion for new records + row-by-row updates) vs. less than 2 minutes (bulk insertion for new records + temporary table method for existing records).
2) there are indexes defined in each table, this is very important when number of rows to be compared in each table is huge, I'lve done comparisons between 2M rows agains 2M rows, it can take minutes to finish, even with indexes.
if the result from f) is small, I can open up file diff with an editor to see what the differences are, otherwise I can use head diff and/or tail diff to take a glance at the differences. With this method, I got the results in less than 3 minutes, which is a huge improvement compared to the first method.

Education for All with the Rise Summit
When people come together with a purpose, change happens. This particular group of risk-takers, dreamers, innovators and hustlers is making waves in the world of entrepreneurship and education. The Rising Tide Society is hosting the RISE Summit, a one-day online educational event for creative entrepreneurs. Here's what you need to know and how you can get involved.
The purpose of this event is to inspire and motivate entrepreneurs from various creative industries including photographers, bloggers, planners, florists, makers, artists, writers, and more. We're thrilled to be part of this event, and even more proud that 100% of the profits raised from the RISE Summit are going towards building a new school with Pencils of Promise. Our goal is to raise $35,000 to cover all of the costs for building the school, and every dollar counts. The Rising Tide Society has 106,000 followers on their Instagram not to mention our tribe of users and newsletter subscribers, so if every person donated just one dollar, we would have more than enough money raised and in turn, would help build multiple schools!
There is an impressive roster of keynote speakers throughout the day, and an overarching theme to educate and empower entrepreneurs and business owners to thrive in the spirit of community over competition. Some of the topics include "How to Gain More Business Using Instagram," "How to Stand Out in a Saturated Market," "Live Q & A with Gary Vaynerchuck" and much more! Take a peek at the incredible list of speakers participating in the RISE Summit:

Flash: why do you still need
After the defection of Flash on mobile platforms, supporters of HTML5 have in sight the battlefield following: computers. But things are far from a foregone conclusion, because Flash keeps some benefits that HTML5 can still claim.
Ubiquity Runtime
If Flash was given as a rapid adoption of browsers and web sites is that it offered a solution to a real headache for web developers: it offered a runtime unique and universal to all browsers, while the HTML often requires adaptation to each browser. This is the famous "write once, run anywhere" (write once, run anywhere) was once the promise of Java, fully completed by Flash, at least until the advent of mobile platforms.
Labels: 3D, apple, flash, javascript, technology
Testimonials: you, your Mac and Flash
Nearly a year in October, Apple does preinstalls more Flash on his Mac. A decision that mimicked that of Microsoft Windows, but also followed the passage of arms around Flash iOS between Steve Jobs and Adobe. Hence the subject of this appeal to witnesses who asked the question whether the policy had changed your habits vis-à-vis this plug-in. The answers provided show various positions and trenches and strategies that are just as among those who kept Flash, but want to hold her bridle. Yes to FlashThe reasons are obvious to install Flash. Adobe technology is far from being replaced.
Video sites have begun their moult - and yet not all, Canal + has been repeatedly cited as requiring the presence of the plug-in - but many others use it either for promotional content, either through to online tools "I surf more on iPad for some time and we must recognize that many sites require Flash. DIY sites, major retailers of home appliances, computer equipment, etc.. In fact, I will summarize the usefulness of the reader with access to catalogs, the realization of selections or purchases. So back to the iMac ... "wrote wsalado.Same is the ubiquity of Flash with vintz72 "In any new position (PC as Mac), I go very fast in general that he lacks Flash. There is indeed a lot of sites that still use it (partially, but sometimes the whole site is that the Flash).
Commercial sites use it extensively (Citroën, Peugeot, etc.. To name brands of cars). Those who say you do not need should not surf much. In short, until everyone has remade its site in HTML5, I must have Flash and I always install. On my iPod touch, I surf few specific apps and make up for the absence. ""I Flash in-dis-pen-sa-ble: I work in photography and graphic design, given the number of photographers Flash websites (including mine), you can not do without. This is the first plug-in installed in Firefox. And that's also why a iPad is irrelevant "says Norbert75. After the Flash users and those who would pass before there is the middle position.
That which is to have the plug-in on his machine, but use it sparingly, when you can not do otherwise."I do not use Flash Player as it slows down too much navigation and is too hot my MacBook Unibody 2008. But I use an extension (ClickToFlash) that allows me to see the contents when needed. ".This use ClickToFlash was mentioned several times. This extension hides the contents of web pages and Flash can play them on demand. You can also choose the sites where ClickToFlash can act and let down in others. "I use ClickToFlash since purchasing my iMac 27" 2009 and before that on my 24 "... This year, after buying a mini with Leo, the first installation of Flash site met, immediately followed by of ClickToFlash. Contrary to what I read, having lots of RAM (in my case) does not change much, it is mainly the processor that is sought.

Flash 10.2 Android arrives today
Announced in early February after its release on Mac and PC, Flash 10.2 shall be offered for download today via its Android Market or updates OTA. This book is written for Android 2.2 (Froyo), 2.3 (Gingerbread) as well as some users already blessed Android 3.0 (Honeycomb).
In the latter case, it is still a beta and the audience is smaller - even if that geographically - as consisting of Xoom customers. The tablet Motorola will simultaneously receive its first revision system 3.0.1. More will follow before Flash 10.2 do it is proposed final version.
This new Flash Androphones provides video acceleration on H264, but only for Honeycomb. Another novelty reserved for shelves next Android 3.0, an improved browser integration, resulting in navigation and view more smoothly pages. Flash content embedded in Web pages should be better supported as well.
More generally, the performance should be slightly up on today's mobile. Flash applications and data on the PC that used to be used with a physical keyboard can be better managed on devices that offer a virtual keyboard. It will be displayed, for example automatically by the application when necessary. Adobe maintains a list of compatible devices with Flash.

Apple and Samsung: the enemy brothers
Apple and Samsung are currently two of the largest companies in the field of consumer electronics. They have much in common, often work together, depend on each other on certain points, but are also competing in highly strategic. So, Apple and Samsung partners can they stay long-term goals?
With the success in the first instance of the iPod and the iPhone and iPad, Apple has become one of the biggest buyers of components in the world. Sign a contract with the Cupertino Company is the assurance of almost an order book well stocked for many months. Apple has often used his position elsewhere to rain or shine on the market for flash memory.
If in the 80s at the time of the Macintosh, Apple could afford to live in isolation and develop almost everything she, in a globalizing world, this is simply not possible.
Corporation deemed to be tough in business, Apple has managed to forge some strategic partnerships. Besides Samsung, Intel may be mentioned (for the supply of processors on the Macintosh), NVIDIA (which has created several GPUs for Apple) and Foxconn (one of the largest subcontractors to Apple). Among these companies, it is certainly with Samsung that relationships are more complex. Apple remains true to its culture of secrecy and rarely evokes its relations with its partners.
Proof, if needed, she remained evasive on the processor design A4. On its website, the Apple brand wrote: "Apple engineers designed the chip A4 into a mobile processor both incredibly powerful and energy efficient."

Indeed, it is difficult to imagine that Google may delete the H.264 on YouTube
Now in only 32.89% of Internet users could continue to visit in the state, an unthinkable sacrifice. Even when Flash will integrate WebM will require that users update their version to be able to take advantage of: the current version of Flash does not pose this problem (Flash supports H.264 since version 9 was released in December 2007). Moreover, it is hard to imagine that Google has not contractually committed with partners like Apple to maintain compatibility with their devices.
The commitment of Google behind WebM at least has the merit of clarifying the situation regarding the giving of the codec on the field of patents: MPEG-LA has repeatedly stated that the free format violated certain of its patents, and that license was under development. The industry association cannot shake indefinitely without its threats would be implemented, and assuming that they are based, Google would be a prime target, except for example, at least for damages that it might represent. Adding however that nothing prevents the MPEG-LA to choose sparingly opponents court, especially since Google has made it clear she would not come to the aid of its partners.
In short, Google's decision is a stir of HTML5, which only give relevance to Flash, where Apple had done the opposite. And so exactly was the effect of strip searched? By restoring the importance of Flash, Google could very well work to the advantage of Android, which supports this format, unlike the IOS ... while going for the white knight of free formats.
But Google did not she simply followed the logic of ecosystem? Indeed, ownership of a video codec, it was destined to become a standard, not a major strategic issue, since interoperability is a crucial element specifically for industry standards. Exclusivity is the less put on a free. Google can certainly preside freely on the future of the codec and decide its future developments, but the side effects seem even more decisive than this one advantage, at least in the medium term.
These explanations do they justify the significant costs of investing behind Google WebM? He has still cost $ 100 million into the acquisition and conversion of over 120 million videos on YouTube will certainly be expensive that few others can afford. These figures are still to put into perspective: according to various estimates, the deficit would amount to YouTube about 500 million dollars just for 2009. A straw in comparison with 6.5 billion profits made last year by Google.

WebM-H264-Flash
Then move on to content providers: the first one, YouTube, supports both the H.264 WebM. Beyond that, we must also look to find videos in WebM. And for good reason: this waltz codec has a cost, not just storage, but also encoding.
Content providers are primarily looking for the highest common denominator between all browsers and all platforms. For now, the duo Flash and H.264 that wins, because the plug-in Adobe can play H.264 video in browsers that do not have this feature. Similarly, IOS, Flash private, can play videos in H.264 format, like most mobile platforms.
Take the case of Daily motion, which hosts some 16 million videos, the 3G format (240p), SD (380p), HQ (480p) and HD (720p). To fully support the WebM, should convert each video to each of these resolutions, to ultimately do not get absolutely any benefit from the perspective of the host: support for WebM would not increase the scope of the site. Besides Daily motion receives many videos already encoded in H.264 with regard to the quantity of material to support this format natively, and encoders WebM are two to three times slower than their counterparts in H.264. Recognizing further that the MPEG-LA has decided to permanently abandon his royalties on the free dissemination of content in H.264, WebM does not even compensating on that plane.
Adobe has already announced plans to add support of WebM in Flash, and Google also speaks of a plug-in to read the WebM (probably as a codec for QuickTime and Windows Media rather than a plug-ins for each browser, read WebM: freedom, politics and ... installing plug-ins). It nonetheless remains that IOS cannot read the WebM. Site publishers who wish to remain accessible on the Apple devices will be well advised to keep H.264, which will remain readable in Firefox, Chrome and Opera through Flash.
And that's where Google's announcement demonstrates its adverse effects, far from encouraging the abandonment of Flash, it only strengthens his position. Some observers have also not failed to raise an inconsistency in the attitude of Google, if it abandons the H.264 for philosophical questions relating to proprietary code, what does the code of Flash within the one Chrome? And what about other Google products that retain their support H.264? Olivier Poitrey, technical director of Daily motion, does not mince words: "Google wants us to believe that his only interest is to advance open source, but keeping the support of this proprietary format in YouTube, Google Android and TV it demonstrates the hypocrisy of his actions. "
Also remains the thorny question of hardware acceleration, which is crucial for mobile devices, and so far the exclusive domain of H.264. Certainly, the support of WebM in hardware has been promised, but what about the current generations of hardware, and various contractual commitments with its partners YouTube?

This book explores the social and cultural constructions and debates of what are dogs and what is leisure. It looks at how working dogs play a significant role in leisure experiences such as ensuring the safety of air transport, and considers the differing roles and changing acceptance of dogs' involvement in sport. Within the setting of the animal welfare and sentience debates, it examines the leisure needs of dogs and their owners. Providing an original contribution to our understanding of dogs as both participants and objects in the leisure experience, this book is a useful resource for researchers in leisure, hospitality and tourism.

Shocking footage shows deputy being attacked, beaten and choked by fans while trying break up a fight after the Orlando City soccer game
A Florida sheriff's deputy is recovering after he was injured while trying to break up a fight between fans after the Orlando City SC soccer game against New York City FC.
Gustavo 'Gus' Marinoni, a 14-year veteran with the Orange County Sheriff's Department, was working extra duty for the Orlando Police Department at the team's home opening game Sunday at the new soccer-only stadium in the city.
Witnesses told WKMG that a New York fan got into an argument with an Orlando City fan about one block from the stadium on Church Street.
Marinoni, who was in uniform, tried to stop the fight but he was immediately attacked.
Cellphone footage of the fight shows a huge crowd of people gathered near a patrol car shoving and pushing someone on the ground before other officers jump in to assist the person on the pavement.
Orlando police Lt. Robert Bear said that several people involved in the fight started 'striking and choking the deputy.'
Marinoni used his radio to request back-up and roughly 50 officers responded to the chaotic scene.
'I was just hoping the officer was going to be OK and they could contain the situation,' a witness told WKMG.
'Then they started attacking the cops. They got clothes-lined. He got slammed on the floor and then it just became chaos.'
Bear said three people were arrested and police are continuing to investigate the incident.
Felix Vazquez, 27, of the Bronx, New York, is accused of choking Marinoni.
He has been charged with aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, two counts of resisting arrest and one count of disorderly conduct.
His girlfriend, Katerina Sopilidis, 24, is accused of resisting arrest and fighting. She faces charges of affray and resisting arrest without violence.
Luciano Migliore, 19, also from New York, is charged with affrays and resisting an officer without violence.
Vazquez appeared in court on Monday morning and a judge set his bond at $20,000.
Officials say Marinoni was taken to a hospital with a leg injury and is now recovering at home.
The team beat New York City FC. It was the team's first game in its new stadium.
