Most mobile RPGs, be it online, offline, or "action", follow a cookie cutter ladderized progression system. While the previous factors mostly deal with game mechanics and technical aspects, an equally important criteria for an MMORPG, especially a good one, is the way the game content flows. But, then again, there are also plenty of mobile games to enjoy that aren't MMORPGs. That does present a problem for those who don't have easy access to a good Internet connection. In complete contrast, MMORPGs need to be played with an active network connection, not to mention a good one. In terms of gameplay, however, they might as well be offline games. Most mobile games these days use an Internet connection, but mostly to download updates or notices and upload player stats and progress. Still, many mobile games that brand themselves as MMORPGs don't exactly use this convention and, as we'll see later, confine players to their own home screens, limiting social interactions to chat. Hardware limitations on smartphones, as well as server limitations, have made that difficult in the past, but times, and technologies, are changing.

![]() MySQL uses write locks to achieve real concurrency. However, if you require frequent data reads, MySQL is preferred. If your application requires frequent data updates, PostgreSQL is a better choice. Read about LAMP stacks » Performance requirements It typically requires complex infrastructure setup and troubleshooting experience. PostgreSQL, on the other hand, can be much more challenging for newcomers. It’s simple to set up MySQL as a standalone product or bundle it with other web development technologies like the LAMP stack. It takes less time to build a new database project from scratch. MySQL is more suitable for beginners and has a shorter learning curve. However, you can start a MySQL project if you want to prototype, create internal applications with fewer users, or create an information storage engine with more reads and infrequent data updates. PostgreSQL is better suited for enterprise-level applications with frequent write operations and complex queries. However, you may consider the following factors before making a final decision. In contrast, PostgreSQL supports the INSTEAD OF trigger, so you can run complex SQL statements using functions.īoth relational databases are suitable for most use cases. ![]() That means the procedure will run automatically before or after the user modifies the data. In a MySQL database, you can only use AFTER and BEFORE triggers for SQL INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements. TriggersĪ trigger is a stored procedure that runs automatically when a related event occurs in the database management system. While both MySQL and PostgreSQL support stored procedures, PostgreSQL allows you to call stored procedures written in languages other than SQL. You can reuse the same code repeatedly, which makes database management tasks more efficient. Stored procedures are structured query language (SQL) queries or code statements you can write and save in advance. Materialized views improve database performance for complicated queries. For example, you can precompute some values in advance (like the total value of all orders over a given period) to create materialized views. While MySQL supports views, PostgreSQL offers advanced view options. ViewsĪ view is a data subset that the database system creates by pulling relevant data from multiple tables. PostgreSQL also supports other additional data types like arrays and XML. Working with PostgreSQL is more intuitive for database developers. Objects support paradigms like parent-child relationships and inheritance. Objects are a common data type in many programming languages like Java and. This means that in PostgreSQL, you can store data as objects with properties. PostgreSQL, on the other hand, is an object-relational database. There are more options to fine-tune your database performance requirements as you scale. PostgreSQL index types include trees, expression indexes, partial indexes, and hash indexes. MySQL supports B-tree and R-tree indexing that stores hierarchically indexed data. You can index frequently accessed data by configuring the database management system to sort and store it differently from the other data. Indexesĭatabases use indexes to retrieve data faster. MySQL databases do not offer MVCC, but PostgreSQL supports this feature. When you use MVCC, multiple users can read and modify the same data simultaneously without compromising data integrity. Multiversion concurrency control (MVCC) is an advanced database feature that creates duplicate copies of records to safely read and update the same data in parallel. PostgreSQL is fully ACID compliant in all configurations. MySQL offers ACID compliance only when you use it with InnoDB and NDB Cluster storage engines or software modules. For example, if you update a large number of rows but the system fails midway, no row should be modified. ACID complianceĪtomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability (ACID) are database properties that ensure a database remains in a valid state even after unexpected errors. While PostgreSQL and MySQL are conceptually similar, there are many differences to consider before implementing them. ![]() On strike days, passengers are only allowed to take two items of hand luggage through security.Įxpect the airport to be busy and queues to be longer than normal for security. ![]() Heathrow's advice is to arrive two hours before short-haul flights and three hours before long-haul flights - no earlier. People travelling on strike days should check their flight details and status before setting off for the airport in case of a last-minute change. I'm travelling through Heathrow on a strike day - what should I do? The airline also stopped selling tickets for strike days - so if you're yet to book your summer holiday, you may see your flight choices reduced.Ī Heathrow spokesperson said: "Passengers can rest assured that we will do everything we can to minimise strike disruption so they can enjoy their hard-earned summer holidays." When security officers at Terminal 5 went on strike over Easter, British Airways was forced to cancel dozens of flights a day. The number of security officers on shift affects how many passengers can go through the airport - fewer staff means fewer passengers. The union has also said the action could escalate. The walkouts at Terminal 5 will "heavily affect" British Airways's summer schedule, Unite said.ĭelays, disruption and cancellations will be "inevitable" as a result of the strike action, Unite regional co-ordinating officer Wayne King said, although it's too early to say what flights will be affected. The strikes will affect flights by a number of airlines including Virgin, Emirates, Qatar, United, American and Delta. Security officers are the people responsible for screening passengers and luggage, reading x-ray monitors and patrolling the airport. ![]() ![]() It’s a laboriously escapist backdrop that, without the clear visual identity of, say, a Hogwarts or a Narnia, looks like a collision between a steampunk convention and one of those demented Christmas shops that hawks festive tat all year round. The film The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, based on the short story. The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the score album composed and produced by James Newton Howard for the 2018 film of the same name.The film marked Howards second score for a live-action Disney film after Maleficent (2014). A gift from her late mother leads her, with the help of her benevolent billionaire godfather (Morgan Freeman), to a magical kingdom where the realms are at war and the mice are terrifyingly well organised. A rat king is a collection of rats whose tails are intertwined and bound together. ![]() The film introduces Clara (Mackenzie Foy) as she demonstrates her latest invention – some kind of Rube Goldberg mouse-ensnaring machine – and then broadens to waltz and whirl through a vision of kitsch Christmas Victoriana. Hoffmanns The Nutcracker and the Mouse King and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovskys ballet, directed by Lasse Hallstrm. The Rat King can be found in two locations, the Grave of Saints and the Doors of Pharros. Story: Fantasy live-action adaptation of E.T.A. WHAT ITS ABOUT: All Clara wants is a key a one-of-a-kind key that will unlock a box that holds a priceless gift from her late mother. The Rat King is a character in Dark Souls II. But the bones of ETA Hoffmann’s original story, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, have been stripped down and reshaped, with grim efficiency, to fit the template of the Disney princess narrative. The Nutcracker and the Four Realms Gabi Zietsman Share Mackenzie Foy in the movie The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. It also contains a dance sequence featuring Misty Copeland, a principal at American Ballet Theatre. T his sparkly, spangly fantasy shares a name and some musical motifs with Tchaikovsky’s ballet. ![]() ![]() Signatures is one of the classroom icebreakers that is so wonderful because it allows participants to express themselves without revealing all their dirty laundry. Just divide your group into smaller groups so students will be more comfortable sharing personal information. If you have a large group of students, you can still play Two Truths and a Lie. Then, it’s up to the rest of the group to determine which statement is the untruth. In this game, participants will share two facts and one lie about themselves in turn. Two Truths and a Lieīecause this game involves people sharing some personal information about themselves, it’s best reserved for smaller groups rather than a large group. By separating group members into pairs, the duos can discuss why they’d prefer one thing over the other and get to know each other on a more personal level. Divide your group into pairs and give each duo a list of questions. If it’s the first day of class, you can make this activity a one-on-one exercise. Would you rather compete in the Olympics or perform with Adele in Vegas?.Would you rather be the prosecutor or defense attorney in a criminal case?.Would you rather go to the big game or a frat party?.Would you rather drink from a keg or a bathtub?.Would you rather be a wallflower or the life of the party?.Would you rather have the ability to fly or leap tall buildings?.Would you rather be a sloth or a tiger?.No possibility or pairing is off the table when it comes to this game so feel free to engage your creativity. The more ridiculous your questions are, the funnier this exercise will be. Lists of questions are readily available online, but it’s often more effective and fun to create your own. With that in mind, instruct students who’d prefer the first option provided in a question to go to one side of the room and tell the rest of the group to go to the other side of the space.īefore you play this game, you need to come up with a series of questions that have a “would you rather…” format. This activity is similar to the discussion of icebreaker questions just presented in the sense that it gives participants the choice between two things. This simple exercise will help participants see that they have things in common with their peers. As you read your questions and statements, have students make their way to the side of the room that’s representative of their response. Are you over COVID and the mandates related to it?īefore you start pelting your students with questions and declarations, designate one side of the room for students who’ll respond with false/no and the other for attendees who’ll respond with a true or yes.True or false: I forgot to use deodorant today. ![]() True or false: I made my bed when I woke up.True or false: I have at least one pet at home.Are you nervous about the coursework we’ll cover in this class?.True or false: I had breakfast this morning.Here are some questions and statements you may want to use: In other words, think of inquiries and statements that can be answered or responded to with a true or false or a yes or no. Rather than creating a list of declarations and open-ended questions, you should craft a list of questions and statements that have a this or that format. One of the easiest things you can do to put students at ease is to come up with a list of icebreaker questions and assertions. That’s because we’ve put together a curated list of icebreakers that will resonate with college students regardless of their ages. You won’t have to look too hard to find icebreakers your whole class will love and be eager to participate in. ![]() Of course, it can’t hurt if the bonding exercise you choose is infused with a touch of silliness and humor, too. To find an icebreaker that will resonate with the occupants of a college classroom, you should seek out an activity that has minimal social risk and is matched to your students’ comfort level and proficiency. Some of them are geared for team members trying to bond in a professional setting while others seem to be more appropriate for young children. The thing is, not all of those ideas are created equally. There are a lot of icebreaker ideas out there. Icebreaker Activities and Games for College Students ![]() ![]() As a result, their parentage has often been lost along the way due to multiple crossings, and many now are simply described as Malus x ‘Cultivar name’. The four species native to North America are the Sweet Crab ( Malus coronaria), Pacific Crabapple ( Malus fusca), Prairie Crabapple ( Malus ioensis), and Southern Crabapple ( Malus angustifolia).Ĭrabapples are prone to several common diseases that have resulted in widespread breeding to develop resistant cultivars over the last century. Some are also created from North American species. Most crabapples are cultivars bred from the Chinese Flowering Crab ( Malus spectabilis), Tea Crabapple ( Malus pumila), Siberian crabapple ( Malus baccata), Toringo crabapple ( Malus sieboldii), and Japanese flowering crabapple (Malus floribunda). Some are very small, never exceeding ¼” in diameter. There are multiple species that they are derived from, including the large domestic apple, Malus domestica.īasically, a crab apple is simply an apple whose fruit rarely exceeds 2” in diameter.

This system is preferred over the hub motors because it utilizes the cycle’s gear to provide a wider speed range and better performance on steep slopes. These systems apply propulsion to the wheel. A new system, known as mid-drive, is receiving acclaim due to its more efficient way of providing assistance to the pedals through a pulley system. Motor – Brushed and brushless motors are generally used, with brushless hub motors being the most commonly used due to their ability to run on DC from batteries.Recommended Read: Best 36V Electric Bikesīest Electric Chopper Style Bikes – Buyer’s GuideĮssential Components – Before we delve deeper into the various criteria to look for during purchase, we felt that a rudimentary knowledge of the various components in an e-bike is necessary for rational decision-making.Īn e-bike is generally made of 3 essential parts: So we’ll explicitly cover them in today’s article.

Although trace element composition of gold used in the concerned period is only available for coins, by comparing the amounts of Pt contained in the tesserae and in the coins we show that Roman tesserae are made from Roman gold, as described in the documentary sources. However, these alloys are identical to those used to make gold leaf for gilding, because plastic deformation requires the use of gold alloys with high ductility and malleability. Data obtained by double-dispersive XRF (D 2XRF) and µXRF for fourth–ninth-century mosaics decorating nine Eastern and Western religious buildings show that the Eastern and Western tesserae are made from different alloys. As Pt and Au have adjacent fluorescence energies, we tested the most challenging situation, when Pt is present in very low concentrations in gold. Using this protocol, trace element analysis is achieved with detection limits of 1–6 mg/kg. To gain insight into the possible origin of the gold used in the production of tesserae containing gold leaf less than 0.5 µm thick placed between two layers of glass, we propose a non-destructive synchrotron radiation (SR) XRF protocol based on sequential analysis under optimised analytical conditions. |
