A program to develop and promote the application of acoustic tagging technology to study migration routes and ecosystem usage of Pacific salmon and other marine species.
Jim Bolger, Executive Director, Vancouver Aquarium, Vancouver, British Columbia
The Pacific Ocean Shelf Tracking (POST) Project was designed to develop and promote the application of acoustic tagging technology to study the life history of Pacific salmon. A major area of focus for POST involved the development of a permanent continental-scale telemetry system. POST's array sits on the seabed of the continental shelf and upstream in several major rivers, and is used to monitor the movements of not only salmon, but many other types of marine animals along the shelf. Tracking data generated from the array can be applied to the development of fishery management policies aimed at the sustainable harvest of resources, and to the understanding and conservation of other marine and diadromous species.
Methods and Technology
Acoustic tags allow the movements of individual animals to be tracked for the duration of their residence on the continental shelf, potentially through the entire life history of shelf-resident species. Juvenile salmon caught in rivers can be implanted with acoustic tags, allowing their journeys to be seamlessly tracked from fresh- to saltwater. Acoustic tags transmit an identifier unique to each tagged animal, the signal being detected and recorded when within range of an acoustic receiver moored on the seabed. Receivers are placed across the continental shelf in a series of lines such that their detection ranges overlap, ensuring very high probability of detection of every tagged animal. Tracking information can reveal the direction, speed, and timing of movements of individual animals; in some cases data also shows the regions of the coast and times of the year where mortality occurs to a greater or lesser extent.
Scientific Objectives
Many fundamental questions about the movements and survival of Pacific salmon and other species remain unknown. With the ultimate goal of sustainable use of ocean resources, there is a need to fill these information gaps. Developing a better understanding of the behaviour and success of various species will not only help managers in determining what actions will enhance survival, but may also eventually aid governments in developing policies to increase survival in the marine habitat.
In the first eight years, researchers along the west coast of North America used POST to track nearly 16,000 individual animals of 18 different species. The suite of animals tagged now includes squid, sharks, sturgeon, salmonids and groundfish. They have been tracked for studies simply examining movement patterns, comparing survival between populations or under different conditions, or for complex experiments that correlate movements and survival to measured physiological and genetic characteristics.
System Evolution
In 2002, the first acoustic listening lines were deployed around northern Vancouver Island, BC, as two-month experiments tracking 120 tagged steelhead smolts. The trial successfully demonstrated the possibility to track the movements of 100% of the tagged animals crossing a line.
Tests were scaled up for a larger experiment in multiples locations, essentially encircling Vancouver Island with POST listening lines from 2003-2005. Continued success, with both the equipment performance and research results providing valuable insight into the journeys of salmon and other species like green sturgeon, led to the deployment of a permanent array in 2006. That first iteration of the permanent array stretched an impressive 1,500km, from Southeast Alaska to northern Oregon, USA.
2008 brought a doubling of length that the POST array, with new lines being deployed and maintained in collaboration with partners in Cordova, AK and Santa Cruz, CA. As the Census of Marine Life draws to a close in 2010, the POST array stretches along over 3,000km of coastline in the Northeast Pacific, from Prince William Sound, Alaska, through British Columbia to Central California. A database of tracking data generated by the POST array is now available online and regularly feeding results to OBIS. POST's online database and mapping tools provide a convenient location for the scientific community and public to explore the movements of marine animals.
POST provides an accessible tool for researchers to build knowledge around Pacific salmon and other transient marine species. It is POST's hope that new knowledge will contribute to the conservation and stewardship of species, populations and stocks in the Northeast Pacific.

The chaos over the rescue of Cyprus – under which insured bank deposits were initially threatened but have been reprieved – has raised questions about whether depositors in other eurozone countries will feel safe.
But I wonder if the bigger long-term effect will be on offshore banking centres in general, rather than the eurozone. After all, Cyprus shows that a small financial centre that becomes overwhelmed by financial difficulties cannot stand behind a banking system several times the size of its economy. Read more

In its May/June 2008 issue, the magazine New Humanist, which has been published in London ever since 1885, carried an article about the rise of creationism in Europe. The story, by the Danish evolutionist professor Peter C. Kjaergaard, noted the impact Adnan Oktar's work was having in Europe. Kjaergaard said that "creationists are on the march in Europe" and went on to report:
On 4 October 2007 the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly passed Resolution 1580, which issued a stark warning: creationism, the denial of Darwinian evolution, is on the rise in Europe. … But what provoked this European body to issue such an uncharacteristically clear and forthright statement? … Examples cited of a growing creationist influence ranged from subtle downgrading of evolution in science education to outright attacks on the validity of Darwinism …
… the report also focused its attention on a new phenomenon – the rise of Muslim creationism. The central figure here is the Turkish Muslim creationist Adnan Oktar, who, writing under the pen name Harun Yahya, has made a career out of attacking Darwinian evolution. … Since 2006 copies of a substantial, glossy and smartly packaged book called Atlas of Creation, credited to Harun Yahya, had been arriving at schools and universities across Europe. In Spain, France, Switzerland and Denmark clear evidence of the growing resources and confidence of European Muslim creationism was thudding on to the mat. The book is the first of a projected seven-part series, and parts two and three have already begun arriving at educational institutes Europe-wide.
… the shock caused by Atlas of Creation is largely unrelated to its contents… The real point is that before the book arrived many had no idea there was a resurgent Muslim creationism in Europe… One thing is clear: creationism has indeed come to Europe …, therefore, we have to take it seriously. … What we have seen so far is just the beginning….

Get everything you need to hit the course with complete golf sets for men.
Designed to give you maximum performance right out of the box, complete golf sets deliver confidence from the tee to the green. Look for full golf sets that include:
- Driver
- Fairway woods (Normally a 3 wood and 5 wood)
- Hybrids (Typically a 4 hybrid and 5 hybrid)
- Irons
- Wedges (Normally a pitching wedge and a sand wedge)
- Putter
- Golf Bag
- Headcovers to protect your clubs
Find complete golf sets for men and senior men designed for right or left-handed players. Select between club sets with graphite and steel shafts. Graphite is lightweight and has more flex – an advantage for beginner golfers with slower swing speeds. Steel is heavier and has less flex, and is more durable than graphite.
Select package sets from dependable brands like ADAMS GOLF and Top Flite that provide the right combination of distance, forgiveness and control.
As you start to learn your game and improve your skills, consider adding and replacing individual clubs in your set.

This is a reminder that Record Store Day is this coming Saturday at local independent record stores, including Groovacious in Cedar City and the Graywhales along the Wasatch Front.
Jack White is the official Record Store Day Ambassador, and he shared his thoughts through an e-mai:
"In one of my final acts as Record Store Day ambassador, i encourage everyone who comes to the third man record store in nashville to be able to hear themselves on a vinyl record, and maybe even mail it to someone they love ... Actively venturing to your local record shop is one of those honors and privileges in this life that we just shouldn't take for granted. Certain beautiful experiences can only happen in the environment of a record store and i just thought that nothing could drive that point home more than a one-of-a-kind machine that lets you not only record your own vinyl record, but send it to anyone, anywhere in the world to share a song, poem, or private message with. i know those warm, scratchy tones send tingles up (and sometimes down) MY spine. even if you aren't instrumentally inclined, you could hold up an iphone playing a song and sing along with the music and combine the best of all worlds tangible, digital, and romantic. and for those still skeptical or not sure if they're brave enough to do it, think of it this way; it's almost the same thing as illegally downloading an mp3 and emailing it to someone. well..., almost. enjoy record store day everyone. i hope that you find that special song and someone makes you smile in the process." On Saturday, White and Third Man Records will unveil their Third Man Recording Booth, a refurbished 1947 Voice-o-Graph machine that records up to 2 minutes of audio and dispenses a one-of-a-kind 6" phonograph disc to the user. The Third Man Recording Booth will be the only machine of its kind in the world that is both operational and open to the public.

Truely a sad day. Mitch was one of my favorite comedians, if not my favorite. He was one of the funniest men on the planet and there is no one really like him.
Truely a sad day. Mitch was one of my favorite comedians, if not my favorite. He was one of the funniest men on the planet and there is no one really like him.
Very sad. Only 37-years-old. I checked an MTV story and his family has been told that he passed away due to a heart attack. In the MTV story they told the following...
Hedberg joked often about drug abuse, but in a recent interview, he said he'd given up smoking marijuana several years ago. "For 10 years, it was amazing, but then I had to give it up because it didn't feel as good," he said. "The audience thinks I'm stoned all the time and I have to write my material that way ... so sometimes, when they come up to me after a show and ask me to join them, I just tell them I'm an undercover cop."
According to an article published in the Los Angeles Times in 2003, Hedberg spent two-and-a half-days in jail, and six weeks in a hospital bed, following his arrest in May of that year for felony heroin possession. But Hedberg said he was arrested for "possession of paraphernalia and pills and things like that. My actual bust was minor. I got a misdemeanor. People used that bust to try and prove that I was busted for having, like, a kilo of heroin on me."
Small market fan... always hoping, but never expecting.
I hope it's never sunny in Philly again.
Oh man, that's awful.
He was one of my favorite stand-ups. Really a genius with his material, delivery, and stage persona.
One of my all-time favorite bits:
I want to be a race car passenger, so I can bug the driver.
"Hey man, why we always gotta turn left?"
"Hey man, can I turn on the radio?"
"Hey man, you must really like Tide."
Bill Hicks and Mitch Hedberg are gone, but Carrot Top and Gallagher still live. There is no justice in the world.
"I prefer books and movies where the conflict isn't of the extreme cannibal apocalypse variety I guess." Redsfaithful
I never found him funny. Actually he annoyed me slightly. Not sure why,I think it was mostly his delivery. Sorry to hear of him dying though.

I bought a doughnut and they gave me a receipt for the doughnut. I don't need a receipt for the doughnut - I'll just give you money and you give me the doughnut. End of transaction.

First you need to download the combo_not.zip file and unpack it.
(for example read the comments on this post: http://tweakers.net/nieuws/82411/wachtwoorden-miljoenen-linkedin-gebruikers-op-straat.html )
Next drop the combo_not.txt file in your C:\ drive: C:\combo_not.txt
Now open PowerShell or PowerShell ISE and run the PowerShell script below:
(don't forget to change YourPasswordHere):
cd c:\ $pass = "YourPasswordHere" $sha1 = [System.Security.Cryptography.SHA1]::Create() $bytes = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($pass) $hashArray = $sha1.ComputeHash($bytes) $hashArray | foreach -Begin{$str=''} -Process{$str += "{0:x2}" -f $_} -End{$str} $str2 = [String]::Concat("00000", $str.Substring(5)) findstr -I $str .\combo_not.txt findstr -I $str2 .\combo_not.txt
I tested it and didn't give a result, so that must be a good thing 😉 (let's hope it is not due to this quick script 🙂 )

GORNAL Athletic boss Andy Wyton thinks the next two games will be pivotal to this side's Midland Alliance future.
They were due to play Walsall Wood away last night, which is their game in hand on the sides around them, before facing a crunch clash against bottom-of-the-table Heather St John's this Saturday.
Wyton has targeted four points from the two games and feels the back-to-back away fixtures could make or break their survival fight.
"With games now starting to run out it is important we pick up wins, especially against the teams around us," he said.
"It is an important time for the club. We have played well in recent games and picked up some good home wins, but it is no good if you then go and lose to teams that are down there fighting as well.
"We have got ourselves into a position to stay up but now need to kick on once again to make that possible."
Athletic will then play away at AFC Wulfrunians on Monday before taking on relegation rivals Heath Hayes at Garden Walk the following weekend.
Gornal go into the crucial period on the back of a 2-1 away loss against Stourport Swifts last Saturday.
Striker Lewis Pountney marked his Swifts return by bagging both goals in the defeat of struggling Gornal.
And the home side were able to celebrate the win even though they had to field defender Jamie Willets in goal.
Usual keeper Sam Hawker played through the pain barrier in the midweek match with Highgate but was unable to face the Peacocks.
And with no other keeper available, manager Rod Brown was forced to hand the gloves to Willets, who produced a decent display when Gornal managed to break through the Swifts defence.
It took until 12 minutes into the second half for Stourport to open the scoring, and it was Pountney, back in the starting line-up after missing the Highgate game through injury, who found the net. Star man Calvin Dinsley played a clever ball through to Luke Morris whose low, hard ball into the area hit a defender and the upright before Pountney was able to slot home from close range.
The excellent Dinsley was also involved in his side's second goal seven minutes later, picking out the run of Jamie Hyde down the wing. His pin-point cross found Pountney in the centre who finished with a deft side-foot volley.
Gornal striker Dreniz Bala pulled one back for the visitors eight minutes from time when he rode the challenge of Michael Briscoe before drilling an effort past Willets.

With regards to Evil Twin, you are right it does not ask for a channel, nor should it because it will run on the broadcast channel of 255.
I'll take a look at the hamster/ferret/Karmetasploit issues over the next week. Can you provide a better statement as to what is happening exactly when you try to launch Karmetasploit, or the sidejacking?
I made a lot of changes and sometimes I get lost in my own code :-(

Cycling in Revine in Veneto in Italy
all cycling regions
Wedged in between the Dolomites and the Adriatic lies Veneto, a unique region and a real treasure trove full of art and architecture, beautiful scenery, interesting cities, and? tasteful cuisine. In other words: the ideal region to explore!
The foothills of the Dolomites can be found in the northern parts of this region. This area is very suitable for walks thanks to its many footpaths, but it?s also great for mountain biking or even winter sports. The mountain scenery changes into undulating hills with vineyards, and further south the land becomes flatter still.
Many art treasures and beautiful historic buildings can be found in this region?s interesting cities. During you walks along the narrow lanes and small squares of the historic villages and towns, you will be able to explore the rich architecture and history of cities such as Venice, Verona, Padua, Vicenza, Treviso, or Rovigo. And it?s always a pleasure to finish off with an Italian meal and some wine in the open air! If you are looking for somewhere to cool off, then visit the popular Lake Garda. This lake in the western part of the region is Italy?s largest lake ? it?s ideal for a day of water sports and relaxing. Tip: The village of Malcésine has a cable lift up to the mountain of Monte Baldo. From here, you will have a spectacular view over the lake! And then there?s the coast, of course. Along the Adriatic coast in the east, you will find long sandy beaches.
When we think of this region, we all think of Venice, of course. And that?s only natural. The city that is slowly sinking into the sea still works its magic on its visitors. The sound of water lapping against the walls, fishing boats, the most famous gondolas, small streets, and its view when you arrive by boat? it all adds to the experience.
Venice was a thriving trading city, which is reflected by its large wealth of art and culture in the richly ornamented façades, palaces, and churches. You can easily spend a couple of days here, walking along all the lanes, but if you?re only going for one day, you will probably concentrate on the well-known sights such as the San Marco square and the Basilica de San Marco, the Doge?s Palace, and the Bridge of Sighs. And of course there are the many museums and palaces. Above all, this is a city to experience. Take a boat trip over the Canal Grande and view the city from the water. You can also visit the island of Isola di San Giorgio Maggiore, from where you have a gorgeous view on Venice. Try and visit the smaller squares and the more remote streets of Venice. It?s better to travel out of season, to get a different and real image of the city. You will no doubt sample the Venetian cuisine in one of its restaurants!
Around Venice you will find fabulous Venetian villas, built in the classicistic architecture of the architect Palladio. These were the upmarket country houses of wealthy Venetian families. But many more places are well worth a visit: Veneto, Padua, Vicenza, Treviso, and the charming mountain village of Asolo. All these cities have many restaurants for a wonderful meal out. But you could also give ?Agriturismo? a try ? a great way to discover the local cuisine and the atmosphere in the countryside.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/1/2013 (1676 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Salisbury House is an enigma wrapped in a griddle of fried onions, stuffed inside a mysteriously fluffy, white bun.
On one hand, the Winnipeg restaurant chain is not just a business, but one of the cultural institutions that make this city unique. Sals unapologetically served up a rancher — an egg sandwich with back bacon and fried sausage — long before the current fetishization of all things cured and carnivorous. Anywhere else in North America, a nip is not a burger, but an arcane racial slur.
And although non-Manitobans may view any given Salisbury House outlet as just another casual-eatery franchise, individual Sals locations have taken over the role of traditional neighbourhood diners, where generations of people simply hang out and talk.
On the other hand, Salisbury House is a lot like any faceless restaurant chain in any other city in North America. Pulled pork, quesadillas and blueberry roiboos tea occupy space on the current something-for-everyone Sals menu, alongside traditional items like double cheese nips, blueberry pancakes and wafer pie.
Much of the food at Sals is not prepared on site, but at a central commissary on Bannister Road, off Route 90 up in Brooklands. Winnipeg restaurant-goers who seek out unique experiences — food made from scratch on the premises, sourced from local or artisanal producers — are more likely to turn to an independently operated burger shop than a Sals if they just want to scarf down fast food.
As a result, Salisbury House does not fit in to either side of a modern restaurant-culture dichotomy that pits hyperlocalism and culinary creativity against corporate ownership and homogeneity. Sals is both local and corporate. Its food is unique to Winnipeg, but not unique in the sense the chain operates out of 17 different locations in the city.
This dual identity means Salisbury House has no natural allies among the Instagram-abusing food geeks who normally run to the rescue of any local culinary institution that winds up threatened in any way.
If the only Sals in Winnipeg was located on Esplanade Riel, a virtual army of Guy Fieri wannabes would take to the Internet, decrying the potential end of the chain's lease. But since there are 16 other Sals outlets in Winnipeg, the same people who raced to eat one last clubhouse at the Wagon Wheel, one last Yaleburger at Kelekis and one last plate of meatballs at the Paddlewheel have little motivation to care about Sals on the pedestrian bridge over the Red River.
To be clear, the City of Winnipeg has not ended any lease with the Salisbury House chain. The original deal between the city and Sals was a five-year lease that began in 2005, after city council's executive policy committee selected Sals to operate the new restaurant space at Esplanade Riel. The only other bidder put forward a proposal that called for subsidies from the city, easily making the Sals proposal to spend a modest $2,000 in monthly rent by far and away the superior option.
In 2010, the original Sals lease for Esplanade Riel expired. For reasons known only to the city, negotiations over a new lease were put off instead of continuing the same arrangement.
In the real-estate world, most leases include an overholding clause that determines what happens when a new lease is not negotiated. Sometimes, tenants wind up locked in to their lease for another term or a proportion of that term. Often but not always, they must pay higher rent during this overholding period.
Salisbury House, however, continued to pay $2,000 a month. In the fall, when Daniel McIntyre Coun. Harvey Smith made this known to the public, city spokeswoman Michelle Bailey said the real-estate division was still in the process of negotiating a new lease.
But the city could not explain why it took two years to negotiate, or why the restaurant space was not offered up to other potential tenants during the interim. This was bizarre, considering city hall was already enveloped in a quagmire of real-estate-related scandals at the time.
Given the political climate at city hall, which has ordered up a real-estate audit, you would expect Winnipeg's real-estate division to do everything in its power to be transparent. And in January, officials partly fulfilled that expectation by issuing a call for proposals for other entities interested in occupying the restaurant site.
The two-week window for completing the proposal, however, seems a little tight if the city is seriously interested in marketing the site. But property director Barry Thorgrimson contested that idea this past week, telling council's property committee it is not difficult to put forward a plan for the Esplanade Riel plaza now that a restaurant actually exists in the space.
Salisbury House president and CEO Earl Barish, however, said he believed he had a deal in place with the city in late 2012. Barish told Free Press business reporter Murray McNeill he was seeking a rent reduction, given the difficulties associated with operating a restaurant on the middle of a bridge.
To be fair to Barish, it's not easy convincing some Winnipeggers to walk anywhere, let alone in the middle of the winter. And given the presence of all those other Salisbury House locations in Winnipeg, if it's simply a nip you crave — and not a view of the Red River — there are easier ways to obtain one.
On the other hand, Salisbury House doesn't compensate the city for the placement its logo on Esplanade Riel. The restaurant chain does not pay the city any sponsorship fees for the highly visible red sign, city spokeswoman Bailey said. While the financial benefit of this advertising is intangible, there's no question this sign does add some value to a $2,000 monthly rent payment.
Since a small or independent restaurant operator may have no need to advertise in this manner, it may not be necessary for the city to take the advertising into account when it makes a decision about what should occupy the Esplanade Riel space.
A better question is what form of amenity should be there. There is no reason it must be a restaurant at all.
The ongoing review of Manitoba's liquor regulations should make it easier for licensed venues to sell beer, as NDP Cabinet Minister Dave Chomiak has hinted at loosening up food-alcohol ratios for restaurants.
But he also suggested venues that offer "unique experiences" may be allowed special opportunities to sell alcohol.
At public squares in downtown Montreal, you can buy a beer from tiny kiosks that also sell coffee and pop. It seems so civilized compared to Winnipeg.
If the city decides to replace Sals with something more urbane on Esplanade Riel, that should not be taken as a slight to the chain, which will always occupy a special place in many Winnipeggers' hearts. The question is whether Winnipeg's real-estate division has already made up its mind.

Did you know?Children get their own special commentary plus a complementary on-board activity pack.
Perhaps you are already familiar with the cheerful City Sightseeing open-top red buses that take visitors around nearly 100 cities all over the world on six continents?
These open-top bus tours are now in Johannesburg, running all day, every day, with on-board commentary, 12 fascinating stops and easy access to all the attractions.
Although all the stops are very worthwhile, there are some that are absolute musts for visitors.
From the Top of Africa you'll get stunning panoramic views of Johannesburg and beyond. The spacious wraparound viewing deck is on the top floor of the 50-storey, 223m-high Carlton Centre, Africa's highest building.
If vintage cars and land transport vehicles of all types are your thing, then you'll be fascinated by the James Hall Museum of Transport, showcasing historic vehicles from ox-wagons, horse-drawn carriages, trams, trolleys and steam trains to Johannesburg's very first car – a sexy green 1900 Clement-Panhard.
You'll be poignantly reminded of South Africa's oppressive and turbulent past at the Apartheid Museum, where you'll be taken on an emotional roller coaster ride through the oppressive state-sanctioned system, and the bitter struggle to overthrow it.
If you want to delve into the beginnings of the human race, then the Origins Centre, at the University of the Witwatersrand, is the place to spend time. It's also child-friendly and explains our origins in a user-friendly and comprehensive way. Check out the bookshop and great little café.
And there's still eight more stops to explore!

What do you make for the man who claims to have invented "pull my finger," and who still responds to "I'm hungry" with, "Hi, Hungry, I'm Dad"? The man who proudly drove a minivan with the vanity plate GR8 DAD throughout your youth, dishing out lame puns ("Did you hear the Energizer Bunny got arrested? Charged with battery!") as he carpooled you around town.
This guy deserves the best. And the cheesiest, to match his humor. Make him a cheese ball, a dad-friendly anytime snack that's perfect for pop.
Because what says dad better than beer, pretzels, cheese . . . and bad jokes?
Here's the recipe:
Beer-Pretzel Cheese Ball
10 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded
10 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
5 ounces cream cheese
2 tablespoons shallots, chopped
1 cup ale (such as Bass)
Dash hot sauce, such as Tabasco
A few drops Worcestershire sauce
Coarse salt
2 cups pretzels
- Blend the cheeses, shallots, beer, hot sauce, Worcestershire and a pinch of coarse salt in a stand mixer or food processor until blended. Form a large ball and wrap in plastic at least one hour until firm.
- Use a food processor to pulse the pretzels into bits. (You can also crush them by the handful.) If you're serving the cheese ball immediately, coat it with the crushed pretzels and serve with (uncrushed) pretzels and crackers. If you are not serving the cheese ball right away, refrigerate until you're ready and coat with the pretzels just before serving so they don't get soggy.

tipoo - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkI wonder where these would be ranked among old desktop GPUs, Geforce 4 series-ish? FX series? Reply
aruisdante - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkThey're much more modern than that in terms of features, as they support the roughly mobile equivalent to DX9/OpenGL2.0.
The fact that Tegra and Mali have dedicated Pixel and Vertex shades puts them in roughly the GeForce 7 series, although they're probably more powerful clock-per-clock-per-unit than those cores were (not enough to make up the vast difference in clock-speed though). If you just look at raw hardware, it would put them roughly equivalent to somewhere between a 7300GT and a 7600GT. However their raw throughput numbers are a lot lower thanks to the reduced clockspeeds- Even a 7100GS ran at 600+Mhz.
The SGX is a Unified Shader Arch supporting DX10.1 like functionality, putting it in the GeForce8-GTX200 era. What they define as a 'core' is a bit hard to figure out (I would guess they mean SMP, I.E. a cluster of smaller USA Shader Units), but based on the numbers it would be somewhere at the very bottom of the rung, like GeForce 9300 but not even. Reply
tipoo - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkFunny how much more advanced SGX GPUs are than a GPU giant like Nvidias. But that could well change next gen with kepler based Tegras. Reply
tuxRoller - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkI believe adreno is also unified since the 200 series.
I'd also be astonished if nivida gets anywhere close to the 3.5 years old 543mp let alone any of their newer models. I imagine the problem for nvidia will be getting around all the patents of img. Reply
GraveUypo - Tuesday, September 25, 2012 - linki know i'm a few months late to the party but...
he was almost spot-on as far as raw performance goes on his guess. i'll be honest, i'm not familiar with the performance of the lower end nvidia cards, but a 7600GT is definitively a lot faster than even the ipad 3 gpu.
features aside, if we stick to theoretical peak performance, most current mobile gpus rank in between a geforce 4 ti4600 and a geforce fx. here's a quick comparison of gpu theoretical peak performance:
· Nexus 7 (tegra 3) - 10 Gflops
· Galaxy s3 (mali-400mp) - 15,8 Gflops
· IPad 3 (SGX 543MP4) - 25,6 Gflops
· Geforce 4 Ti4600 - 16 Gflops
· Geforce FX 5950 Ultra - 30,4 Gflops
· Geforce 6800 Ultra - 75 Gflops
· > Geforce 7600 GT - 136 Gflops
· xbox360 and ps3 gpu - somewhere around here, closer to the latter
· Geforce 7950 GT - 255 Gflops
as you can see, there's still a lot of ground to cover to get to 7600GT levels of performance. maybe in a couple more generations. This is a very simplified comparison, because there's no way to compare them directly, but it's enough to give you an idea of the situation. Reply
GraveUypo - Tuesday, September 25, 2012 - link(a few months later, but here we go)
yes. very nice guess.
in fact the theoretical peak performance of the mali-400mp on the galaxy s3 is virtually the same as a geforce4 ti4600. the SGX 543MP4 on the ipad 3 is a bit inferior to the geforce fx 5900 ultra. read my other post for more details :P Reply
UpSpin - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkSo Tegra 3 is better and Exynos Quadcore worse than most people think. At least in more demanding games with more polygons.
And thus the US Galaxy S3 probably faster in more recent games with more polygons than the international quad core version. (more modern ARM core and faster GPU).
It will be interesting how well the Apple SoCs scale with this HD test.
And even if the results might look poor, but including some older speced SoCs might be interesting, too, to see how the new SoCs improved. Like some older Snapdragons. (and only Offscreen seems to be interesting) Reply

ewood - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkread the article before you ridicule someone's post. Reply
aruisdante - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkThis is because they Egypt test favors Vertex shading power, and Mali400 is intentionally lacking in that department. If you were to built a test that was pixel shader heavy, the results would be more balanced. You saw this same kind of thing happen in the GeForce 7, Radion X1900 era, when it was nVidia that decided it was better to have more Pixel power than Vertex power. The SGX doesn't haven't to worry about that since it's USA. Reply
jeremyshaw - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkI think it was ATi that made the first jump, with the X1950. 48..... 48!! Pixel shaders vs only 16 vertex.
Before that, for both ATi and nVidia, it was pretty much always 1:1 pixel:vertex at the top end. Reply
Death666Angel - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkIn the game benchmark I see the Quad Exynos being equal to or better than Tegra3. That the Dual Exynos holds its own quite well, considering it launched over half a year earlier. :)
At this point though, I wouldn't buy a full price kit with either processor. Reply
Stormkroe - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkLooks like offscreen Mali400 scores are STILL broken in the game tests. Scores 13 fps in 720p and 1080p. Not as bad as going the score going dramatically UP when jumping from 800x400 to 720p like in glbenchmark 2.1, but still... Why hasn't this been addressed? Reply
aruisdante - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkBecause increasing the resolution increases the load on Pixel shaders more than Vertex shaders, and Mali400 is hamstrung by its Vertex power in this test, so it has the Pixel shading power to spare. It doesn't surprise me that the framerate doesn't change with resolution in this case. Reply
Stormkroe - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkBut they DO change, in gl2.1 they actually go UP by a lot. That's going from 800x480 to 720p (2.4 times the pixels). Even more proof is that the same SoC in the galaxy note, which has a native resolution very close to 720p used in these off screen tests, shows appropriately scaling performance. It's only when rendering offscreen that Mali400 is able to beat the competition. In glbenchmark2.5 they don't go up, but stay the same, even though there is now a 5.9 factor difference in pixel count. The galaxy note numbers prove that it's not a vertex shader issue. Let's even say that the Mali is so vertex bound (remember it has to be at LEAST 6x deficiency vs the rest of the gpu based on these scores), the fps should still have went down because of the increased demands on the rest of the SoC.
I still say offscreen Mali400- broken. Reply
metafor - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkEgypt 2.1 didn't have complex shaders like 2.5. If only one thing in Mali is bottlenecked (like the vertex shader) then nothing else will change. 2.1 simply didn't provide enough complex shaders to bottleneck the vertex shaders, especially at lower resolutions. Reply
Stormkroe - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkI'm resisting the urge to go all caps fury here. It's not a bottleneck issue. The offscreen score @720p is HIGHER than the native score at 480p (scores are well below vsync so it can't be that). And offscreen scores @720p are almost double what near-720p resolutions show when they are native.
Reduced completely: why does simply going offscreen nearly Double The SCOREOHGOSH I DIDN'T MAKE IT!??! Reply
Rurou - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkI'm also resisting to go all caps, but what are you talking about?
Egypt HD:
Galaxy S2 (800x480): 9.1
Galaxy S3 (Mali, 1280x720): 13
Egypt HD offscreen (1080p):
Galaxy S2: 8.8
Galaxy S3 (Mali): 13
Egypt Classic:
Galaxy S2: 60
Galaxy S3: 59
Egypt Classic offscreen (1080p):
Galaxy S2: 31
Galaxy S3: 57
What is the point that you're trying to make? I don't understand. Have you downloaded GLBenchmark 2.5?
All hardware have lower fps on offscreen test, with the exception of Galaxy S3, which suggest that Galaxy S3 was severely vertex limited.. heck, even Galaxy S2 is severely vertex limited because that kind of difference is usually within the margin of error.
Where is this double thing that you mentioned? or are you seeing double? Or are you talking something that wasn't presented in the article? If that is the case, then in what way it affects the result from the article? Reply
Stormkroe - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkPerformance improvements have caused vsync to get in the way of glbenchmark 2.1 numbers on the Galaxy S2
Galaxy S2
Egypt HD 23.4fps
Egypt HD 720p offscreen 21.7fps
384k vs 921k pixels 240% workload, still 93% score
Galaxy Note
glbenchmark 2.1
Egypt High (1280x800) 48.1FPS
Egypt Offscreen (1280x720) 72.3FPS!!
1024k vs 921k pixels 90% workload, 150% score (newer scores, while too high, are no longer double, my bad)
Galaxy Note
GLbenchmark 2.5
Egypt HD (1280x800) 16.5FPS
Egypt HD (1920x1080) 15.9FPS
1024k vs 2073.6k Pixels 202.5% workload, still 96.4% score
Galaxy S3
Egypt HD (1280x720) 23.9FPS
Egypt HD (1920x1080) 23.7FPS
921k vs 2073.6k Pixels 225% workload, still 99% score
The GS2 and GS3 continue the trend of scoring almost the same while more than doubling the workload (only difference being the doubled workload is offscreen)
I included the galaxy note because it's native screen resolution of 1280x800 is very, very close to the offscreen resolution in GLbenchmark 2.1, making apples to apples very straightforward and eliminating vertex shader architecture as the culprit.
I got these scores from glbenchmark's site to give you as much detail as I could on short notice, it confirms the trend that shows in the AT reviews.
Hopefully this helps :) Reply

What's the line of reasoning here? Vertex or front-end limitations are fairly resolution independent (not entirely independent depending on the scene). And more importantly, GLB 2.1 didn't necessarily have the complex shaders to bottleneck Mali400.
The only time performance doubled when going offscreen is when the framerate hits the vsync limit during the on-screen test (GS2 in GLB 2.1). Reply
Stormkroe - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkYou said the inconsistency could be because of a vertex shader weakness in Mali400.
The reasoning behind listing the GL2.1 galaxy note scores is that we have a perfect example of NOTHING changing but the state of 'offscreen rendered' vs 'onscreen rendered', yet offscreen scores jump to 150% of onscreen scores. (I apologized for the lack of score doubling in my last post, as the numbers have become more even since I posted about this many months ago.
So, in a nutshell, Exynos score jumps to 150% by simply switching from onscreen to offscreen, with NO OTHER VARIABLES.
No that GL2.5 defaults to 1080p for offscreen, I've got no other way to compare on/offscreen evenly.
If you know of an exynos tablet with a 1080p res, we can do a straight apples to apples comparison with gl2.5, which judging by the gs2/3/note scores, will be a repeat of skyrocketing offscreen. Reply

Erm, vsync. Like I said, when numbers come close to 60fps, the averages will vary a lot since the on-screen numbers will clip during high framerate times. That should be quite obvious.... Reply

Stormkroe - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkIt's all on the second page, except adreno 220 hasnt ever got a fix for 2.1 to run the offscreen game benches. Not sure if it works yet on 2.5. Reply
A5 - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkI'm running it on my Adreno-220 EVO 3D right now. Will post in a second. Reply
A5 - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkIt looks like it falls in somewhere around 2/3rds of the Adreno 225's performance. They actually have a pretty decent comparison tool on the glbenchmark.com site. Reply
Stormkroe - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkThat's the same phone I have. Good to hear that it's finally working. Do you have the updated you drivers in your phone? They make an enormous difference for games. I'd be interested in your scores. Reply
A5 - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkMy results fall in almost exactly with these running a ROM based on the VM ICS leak: https://glbenchmark.com/phonedetails.jsp?D=HTC+EVO...

hurrakan - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkI was going to buy a Samsung Galaxy S3 here in the UK, but is it really utter crap compared to the US version? Reply
aruisdante - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkIt's just different. Mali400 is very good in pixel-shader heavy situations. And Exynos Quad is better than S4's current dual core Krait implementation in highly threaded environments.
The problem is that a lot of current workloads are neither of those things. In day to day tasks, raw processor performance between quad-core A9 (Exynos Quad, Tegra-3) and dual core Krait (Snapdragon S4) works out to be roughly equal, because Krait is about 30% faster Clock per Clock and runs a about 20% higher clockspeeds thanks to its 28nm construction. Since most workloads are not highly threaded, Krait's increased single-threaded performance is enough to overcome the quad-core's core advantage. Reply
Pipperox - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkNot quite.
First of all, synthetic benchmarks can be very misleading as they selectively stress certain components in isolation, and they're also prone to cheating i.e. benchmark specific optimizations which bring nothing for real world performance.
In the PC industry they've been practically abandoned in reviewing new graphic cards, in favor of game benchmarks.
The Mali400 in the SGS III international version has by far the highest fill rate, 3x compared to Adreno, which in turn has a much higher triangle throughput, according to this test.
But the thing is, there aren't few if any games out there which come close to the polygon count of the Egypt Classic scenario.
Egypt HD is rather extreme, and more of a view of things to come, but with no smartphone significantly breaking the barrier of 20 fps (and if you run the benchmark, you see how the frame rate dips often to 5fps or less), it's unlikely that we'll see anything remotely comparable in the next couple of years.
So for the games out there and in the near future, Mali400 is king. Reply
dagamer34 - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkA big problem is that any 3D-heavy game that you'd want to use for benchmarking on Android is basically fully optimized to a specific chipset, to the point that nVidia and Qualcomm heavily assist developers who use their chips in exchange for prominent placing in TegraZone and GameCommand respectively.
I feel that the great equalizer in the SoC wars will be Windows RT, since one binary will have to run on a Tegra 3, Snapdragon S4, and OMAP4, so the chances of cheating will likely be diminished. Reply
metafor - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkOf course, with modern games that are mostly fill-rate bound, all these GPU's have little trouble hitting the 60fps barrier. So while fill-rate monster GPU's can indeed win in off-screen, non-vsync'ed benchmarks, it's really kinda moot. Reply
Lucian Armasu - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkIt seems they made the Egypt tests at least twice more aggressive than they should've been in this release. It's kind of ridiculous that all the latest GPU's can't even get past 15 FPS in it. I mean, what's the point of showing something like that? Might as well make the app for latest PC gaming hardware.
So yeah, I think this version of Egypt is too aggressive, especially since we know they are going to launch GLBenchmark 3.0 for OpenGL ES 3.0 this fall. What are they going to do when they have to add all the extra graphics features of OpenGL ES 3.0 on top of the new very complex Egypt text? Will they just make all the new GPU's show 5 FPS in their tests?
This is definitely wrong. Reply
Mike1111 - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - link"It's kind of ridiculous that all the latest GPU's can't even get past 15 FPS in it."
A5X and Adreno 320 weren't tested yet. And the next generation of mobile GPUs coming in early 2013 will be much more powerful. Reply
A5 - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkhttp://glbenchmark.com/phonedetails.jsp?benchmark=...
A5X roughly triples the Fill Test of the Tegra 3. It also gets about 50 fps on the Offscreen test in Egypt HD.
If anything, I'd say they didn't make it stressful enough. Reply
Mike1111 - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - link"A5X roughly triples the Fill Test of the Tegra 3. It also gets about 50 fps on the Offscreen test in Egypt HD."
I wish. But I only see 24fps in the Egypt HD 1080p offscreen?! Reply
pcinyourhand - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkYou clearly have no experience when it comes to GPU benchmarking..
A GOOD benchmark is supposed to exercise the GPU heavily and stress the GPU and the SoC to accurately measure Graphics performance. A benchmark is not supposed to run at 30 or 60 fps... Reply
metafor - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkGLBenchmark 3.0 isn't just more stress. GPU's don't work like that. It's there to test the feature set of the Halti generation of GPU's, which aren't tested at all in GLB 2.5.
The actual compute power stressed -- such as triangle throughput, fetch speed, fill-rate, etc. -- will likely stay the same between 3.0 and 2.5. Reply

aryonoco - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkTo truly make a fair comparison between SoCs, I think the version of Android should also be mentioned in the charts, as newer versions might come with newer/updated drivers which makes not so much of a level playing field.
To illustrate the point, my Motorola (Droid) RAZR (OMAP 4430) gets 5.5 fps on Egypt HD onscreen test (running at qHD resolution). I find it interesting that it scores so much lower than the OMAP 4460 in the Galaxy Nexus, as they run on the exactly same clocks and until now, every GPU benchmark had put them exactly equal.
Which makes me wonder, what version of Android is the Galaxy Nexus running in this test? Is it Jelly Bean? Cause JB might come with newer drivers which might be adding to its performance (My RAZR is running ICS). The same might be true if you are comparing phones running ICS to those running Gingerbread. Reply
balagamer - Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - linkwill an optimized driver makes a difference in these scores? as the benchmark suite is just launched there is possibility that the current set of drivers for mali400 being unoptimized. Reply
SanX - Wednesday, August 08, 2012 - linkAll these benchmarks, specifically for smartphones must be divided by consumed energy from the battery.
Things are that 4-core processor consume much more juice from the battery on such gaming tests!!!! Reply

That spirit endures to this day, and the award-winning Broadway musical Come From Away tells a story of that hospitality in action, on one of the world's worst days.

The crowd is hopping from foot to foot—kids blowing whistles; grown-ups blowing steam from coffee cups. It's a July day masquerading as October, and I'm on the Government Wharf in Joe Batt's Arm, waiting for the Great Fogo Island Punt Race to There and Back to begin.

Just minutes from downtown St. John's is the picturesque village of Quidi Vidi, a destination within a destination. The old fishing stages, slipways, narrow laneways, and a small harbour known as the Gut, all add to its charm. It is a hint of rural Newfoundland within the city limits. You can explore the Gut by boat or by foot, and there are numerous food, beverage and artisan experiences to be had. Join us as we spend the day taking in the Quidi Vidi Village experience. First stop - The Quidi Vidi Plantation.

Nestled snuggly within the sheltered harbour of Tors Cove is Running the Goat Books & Broadsides - a micro-press specializing in work by Newfoundland & Labrador-based writers. The press is one of Newfoundland's best kept secrets, hiding in plain sight along the East Coast Trail. Inside, owner Marnie Parsons lovingly sets, prints and sews beautiful books – all by hand. Last weekend, on a sunny Sunday, I made the scenic drive (only 40 minutes from St. John's) and discovered a world of bookmaking often forgotten in today's modern world – I discovered what it meant to Run The Goat.

As much as we'd like to tell you that it's sunshine and lollipops each and every day of the year – we can't. Sometimes (not all the time), it can rain.

Just off the coast of Newfoundland is a collection of islands that are not part of the province. Indeed, they are not even Canada! St. Pierre and Miquelon are the last piece of French territory in North America. They are quite distinct from Newfoundland and Labrador, making them a must visit. Indeed, the tourism industry of St. Pierre and Miquelon and the Burin Peninsula, in Eastern Newfoundland, are closely entwined. You'll discover a whole new world when you take the ferry from the town of Fortune. Here's some of the coolest facts about Newfoundland and Labrador's closest foreign country.
