In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Andrew Forbes about his phenomenal novella, McCurdle's Arm: A Fiction (Invisible Publishing, July 16, 2024). Southern Ontario, 1892. The Ashburnham Pine Groves are a semi-professional baseball club in the South Western Ontario Base-Ball Players' Association, sponsored by the Grafton Brewery, makers of Ashburnham's Famous Pine Grove Ale. When sober the Ashburnham players are an impressive group, though coarse and occasionally cretinous, and as with any collection of men, not without their peculiarities. Robert James McCurdle is one of their most formidable pitchers, though he understands that his body won't let him perform at a high level forever. McCurdle's Arm is an account of a particular man in his particular time, playing a version of baseball devoid of the comforts of the modern game, rife with violence, his employment always precarious. Against this backdrop McCurdle must choose between his love for the game and his desire to be reunited with the woman who loves him.

A common problem in our homes, especially in the cooler areas of Aotearoa: gazillions of flies settling into your spare room, on the ceiling of a quiet place, or in the roof cavity. The flies arrive at your place in autumn and find a good spot to hibernate – just like they do in their countries of origin: Sweden, Finland, Netherlands, Germany, the UK, the USA, and Canada. Pollenia pediculata is the cluster fly species we discovered on the North Shore for the first time in 1984. It may have arrived in some containerised luggage or cargo (we were not sure when we found it), it's now well-spread, often in the cooler spots of our country. It is quite a gorgeous fly species, with golden hairs on its back – easy to spot as it often sits quietly. Flies have just one pair of wings whereas other insect orders usually have two pairs of wings in the adult stage. The second pair of wings is turned into small “halteres”: modified hind wings that provides stability when in flight. Flies are real acrobats: they can fly up-side-down onto the ceiling Our cluster fly lives a peculiar life as a parasite of earthworms. The female fly lays eggs in dense grass habitats (paddocks and lawns) and often near or in earthworm tunnels. The larvae (aka "maggots") hatch, find themselves some way of getting into the soil (gaps around plants or through established earthworm tunnels) and gain entry into the body of an earthworm. Inside the worm it feeds on the internal body fluids and organs. Gross? Yep! But these flies do minimal damage to earthworm population densities. Most animals on the planet have "parasites" that can cause damage (humans have parasites too). In spring and summer, I often see them pollinating flowers (the name “Pollenia” is a nice indicator!). When temperatures get cooler in autumn, the cluster flies usually look for a suitable hibernation place: holes in the ground, under bark of trees, under mulch layers, etc. But if there's a nice warm human house nearby, they will try to gain entry – by the thousands! They crawl through small holes (ill-fitting window frames, etc) and mark their entry by leaving a residue of pheromone scent – this means that other Pollenia flies simply follow the trail and join the others. The pheromone is rather sticky and smells somewhat of Buckwheat honey (hence the name buckwheat fly in the USA). Cluster flies are not of medicinal importance (like some blowflies) but are hard to remove due to their messy pheromones. Best “prevention” is to ensure there are no entrance holes around the home. A very residual aerosol can (available from SafeWorx – safety company) sprayed at the flies' entry and exit holes, will stop them from getting inside.

It's Q&A Day on Talking Real Money, and Don tackles listener questions on everything from crypto and REITs to emergency funds and IRA contributions. He reiterates his firm stance against crypto as an investment, warns about the risks of individual REITs, and supports diversified REIT funds for long-term portfolios.

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Lois: Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs with Oracle University, and with me today is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services. Nikita: Hey everyone! In our last two episodes, we spoke about MySQL backups, exploring their critical role in data recovery, error correction, data migration, and more. Lois: Today, we're switching gears to talk about monitoring MySQL instances. We'll also explore the features and benefits of HeatWave with Perside Foster, a MySQL Principal Solution Engineer at Oracle. 01:02 Nikita: Hi, Perside! We're thrilled to have you here for one last time this season. So, let's start by discussing the importance of monitoring systems in general, especially when it comes to MySQL. Perside: Database administrators face a lot of challenges, and these sometimes appear in the form of questions that a DBA must answer. One of the most basic question is, why is the database slow? To address this, the next step is to determine which queries are taking the longest. Queries that take a long time might be because they are not correctly indexed. Then we get to some environmental queries or questions. How can we find out if our replicas are out of date? If lag is too much of a problem? Can I restore my last backup? Is the database storage likely to fill up any time soon? Can and should we consider adding more servers and scaling out the system? And when it comes to users and making sure they're behaving correctly, has the database structure changed? And if so, who did it and what did they do? And more generally, what security issues have arisen? How can I see what has happened and how can I fix it? Performance is always at the top of the list of things a DBA worries about. The underlying hardware will always be a factor but is one of the things a DBA has the least flexibility with changing over the short time. The database structure, choice of data types and the overall size of retained data in the active data set can be a problem. 03:01 Nikita: What are some common performance issues that database administrators encounter? Perside: The sort of SQL queries that the application runs can be an issue. 90% of performance problems come from the SQL index and schema group.  03:18 Lois: Perside, can you give us a checklist of the things we should monitor? Perside: Make sure your system is working. Monitor performance continually. Make sure replication is working. Check your backup. Keep an eye on disk space and how it grows over time. Check when long running queries block your application and identify those queries. Protect your database structure from unauthorized changes. Make sure the operating system itself is working fine and check that nothing unusual happened at that level. Keep aware of security vulnerabilities in your software and operating system and ensure that they are kept updated. Verify that your database memory usage is under control. 04:14 Lois: That's a great list, Perside. Thanks for that. Now, what tools can we use to effectively monitor MySQL?     Perside: The slow query log is a simple way to monitor long running queries. Two variables control the log queries. Long_query_time. If a query takes longer than this many seconds, it gets logged. And then there's min_exam_row_limit. If a query looks at more than this many rows, it gets logged. The slow query log doesn't ordinarily record administrative statements or queries that don't use indexes. Two variables control this, log_slow_admin_statements and log_queries_not_using_indexes. Once you have found a query that takes a long time to run, you can focus on optimizing the application, either by limiting this type of query or by optimizing it in some way. 05:23 Nikita: Perside, what tools can help us optimize slow queries and manage data more efficiently? Perside: To help you with processing the slow query log file, you can use the MySQL dump slow command to summarize slow queries. Another important monitoring feature of MySQL is the performance schema. It's a system database that provides statistics of how MySQL executes at a low level. Unlike user databases, performance schema does not persist data to disk. It uses its own storage engine that is flushed every time we start MySQL. And it has almost no interaction with the storage media, making it very fast. This performance information belongs only to the specific instance, so it's not replicated to other systems. Also, performance schema does not grow infinitely large. Instead, each row is recorded in a fixed size ring buffer. This means that when it's full, it starts again at the beginning. The SYS schema is another system database that's strongly related to performance schema. 06:49 Nikita: And how can the SYS schema enhance our monitoring efforts in MySQL? Perside: It contains helper objects like views and stored procedures. They help simplify common monitoring tasks and can help monitor server health and diagnose performance issues. Some of the views provide insights into I/O hotspots, blocking and locking issues, statements that use a lot of resources in various statistics on your busiest tables and indexes. 07:26 Lois: Ok… can you tell us about some of the features within the broader Oracle ecosystem that enhance our ability to monitor MySQL? Perside: As an Oracle customer, you also have access to Oracle Enterprise Manager. This tool supports a huge range of Oracle products. And for MySQL, it's used to monitor performance, system availability, your replication topology, InnoDB performance characteristics and locking, bad queries caught by the MySQL Enterprise firewall, and events that are raised by the MySQL Enterprise audit. 08:08 Nikita: What would you say are some of the standout features of Oracle Enterprise Manager? Perside: When you use MySQL in OCI, you have access to some really powerful features. HeatWave MySQL enables continuous monitoring of query statistics and performance. The health monitor is part of the MySQL server and gathers raw data about the performance of queries. You can see summaries of this information in the Performance Hub in the OCI Console. For example, you can see average statement latency or top 100 statements executed. MySQL metrics lets you drill in with your own custom monitoring queries. This works well with existing OCI features that you might already know. The observability and management framework lets you filter by resource type and across several dimensions. And you can configure OCI alarms to be notified when some condition is reached. 09:20 Lois: Perside, could you tell us more about MySQL metrics? Perside: MySQL metrics uses the raw performance data gathered by the health monitor to measure the important characteristic of your servers. This includes CPU and storage usage and information relevant to your database connection and queries executed. With MySQL metrics, you can create your own custom monitoring queries that you can use to feed graphics. This gives you an up to the minute representation of all the performance characteristics that you're interested in. You can also create alarms that trigger on some performance condition. And you can be notified through the OCI alarms framework so that you can be aware instantly when you need to deal with some issue.  10:22 Are you keen to stay ahead in today's fast-paced world? We've got your back! Each quarter, Oracle rolls out game-changing updates to its Fusion Cloud Applications. And to make sure you're always in the know, we offer New Features courses that give you an insider's look at all of the latest advancements. Don't miss out! Head over to mylearn.oracle.com to get started. 10:47 Nikita: Welcome back! Now, let's dive into the key features of HeatWave, the cloud service that integrates with MySQL. Can you tell us what HeatWave is all about? Perside: HeatWave is the cloud service for MySQL. MySQL is the world's leading database for web applications. And with HeatWave, you can run your online transaction processing or OLTP apps in the cloud. This gives you all the benefits of cloud deployments while keeping your MySQL-based web application running just like they would on your own premises. As well as OLTP applications, you need to run reports with Business Intelligence and Analytics Dashboards or Online Analytical Processing, or OLAP reports. The HeatWave cluster provides accelerated analytics queries without requiring extraction or transformation to a separate reporting system. This is achieved with an in-memory analytics accelerator, which is part of the HeatWave service. In addition, HeatWave enables you to create Machine Learning models to embed artificial intelligence right there in the database. The ML accelerator performs classification, regression, time-series forecasting, anomaly detection, and other functions provided by the various models that you can embed in your architecture. HeatWave can also work directly with storage outside the database. With HeatWave Lakehouse, you can run queries directly on data stored in object storage in a variety of formats without needing to import that data into your MySQL database. 12:50 Lois: With all of these exciting features in HeatWave, Perside, what core MySQL benefits can users continue to enjoy? Perside: The reason why you chose MySQL in the first place, it's still a relational database and with full transactional support, low latency, and high throughput for your online transaction processing app. It has encryption, compression, and high availability clustering. It also has the same large database support with up to 256 terabytes support. It has advanced security features, including authentication, data masking, and database firewall. But because it's part of the cloud service, it comes with automated patching, upgrades, and backup. And it is fully supported by the MySQL team. 13:50 Nikita: Ok… let's get back to what the HeatWave service entails. Perside: The HeatWave service is a fully managed MySQL. Through the web-based console, you can deploy your instances and manage backups, enable high availability, resize your instances, create read replicas, and perform many common administration tasks without writing a single line of SQL. It brings with it the power of OCI and MySQL Enterprise Edition. As a managed service, many routine DBA tests are automated. This includes keeping the instances up to date with the latest version and patches. You can run analytics queries right there in the database without needing to extract and transform your databases, or load them in another dedicated analytics system. 14:52 Nikita: Can you share some common use cases for HeatWave? Perside: You have your typical OLTP workloads, just like you'd run on prem, but with the benefit of being managed in the cloud. Analytic queries are accelerated by HeatWave. So your reporting applications and dashboards are way faster. You can run both OLTP and analytics workloads from the same database, keeping your reports up to date without needing a separate reporting infrastructure. 15:25 Lois: I've heard a lot about HeatWave AutoML. Can you explain what that is? Perside: HeatWave AutoML enables in-database artificial intelligence and Machine Learning. Externally sourced data stores, such as sensor data exported to CSV, can be read directly from object store. And HeatWave generative AI enables chatbots and LLM content creation. 15:57 Lois: Perside, tell us about some of the key features and benefits of HeatWave. Perside: Autopilot is a suite of AI-powered tools to improve the performance and applicability of your HeatWave queries. Autopilot includes two features that help cut costs when you provision your service. There's auto provisioning and auto shape prediction. They analyze your existing use case and tell you exactly which shape you must provision for your nodes and how many nodes you need. Auto parallel loading is used when you import data into HeatWave. It splits the import automatically into an optimum number of parallel streams to speed up your import. And then there's auto data placement. It distributes your data across the HeatWave cluster node to improve your query retrieval performance. Auto encoding chooses the correct data storage type for your string data, cutting down storage and retrieval time. Auto error recovery automatically recovers a fail node and reloads data if that node becomes unresponsive. Auto scheduling prioritizes incoming queries intelligently. An auto change propagation brings data optimally from your DB system to the acceleration cluster. And then there's auto query time estimation and auto query plan improvement. They learn from your workload. They use those statistics to perform on node adaptive optimization. This optimization allows each query portion to be executed on every local node based on that node's actual data distribution at runtime. Finally, there's auto thread pooling. It adjusts the enterprise thread pool configuration to maximize concurrent throughput. It is workload-aware, and minimizes resource contention, which can be caused by too many waiting transactions. 18:24 Lois: How does HeatWave simplify analytics within MySQL and with external data sources? Perside: HeatWave in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides all the features you need for analytics, all in one system. Your classic OLTP application run on the MySQL database that you know and love, provision in a DB system. On-line analytical processing is done right there in the database without needing to extract and load it to another analytic system. With HeatWave Lakehouse, you can even run your analytics queries against external data stores without loading them to your DB system. And you can run your machine learning models and LLMs in the same HeatWave service using HeatWave AutoML and generative AI. HeatWave is not just available in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. If you're tied to another cloud vendor, such as AWS or Azure, you can use HeatWave from your applications in those cloud too, and at a great price. 19:43 Nikita: That's awesome!

In this episode of Create Like The Greats, Ross Simmonds dives deep into the common mistakes that SaaS companies are making with their Google Ads strategies. Despite advancements in marketing and AI tools, many businesses are still falling into the same traps they did years ago. If you're struggling to make your paid search campaigns profitable, this episode will help you identify missteps and optimize your approach for better ROI. Episode Breakdown & Key Takeaways Why SaaS Companies Struggle with Google Ads Many SaaS businesses fail to drive ROI from paid search. The solution? Optimize your campaigns by improving efficiency in clicks, conversions, and lower costs. Common Mistake #1: Sending Traffic to the Homepage Why it's a bad idea: Homepages serve too many purposes and introduce distractions. Solution: Create dedicated landing pages aligned with specific user intent. Actionable tip: Remove navigation menus and unnecessary links to keep visitors focused. Common Mistake #2: Poor Above-the-Fold Experience 90% of visitors won't scroll past the first screen—so you need to make an instant impact. Essential components for above-the-fold success: Clear and compelling headline that connects with intent. Highlight a unique value proposition. Call-to-action (CTA) should be immediate and obvious (e.g., “Start Your Free Trial”). Social proof: Use testimonials or logos from recognizable brands. Common Mistake #3: Inefficient Bidding Strategies Ross recommends manual CPC bidding when starting. Test target CPA bidding only after gathering sufficient data. Be prepared to adjust bidding strategies based on real-time performance insights. Common Mistake #4: Running Ads on Low-Intent Keywords Stop wasting money on broad, irrelevant search terms like “sales tips” or “HR advice.” Focus on high-intent keywords, such as: Brand alternatives – Users searching for "Zoom alternatives" or "Slack alternatives" are actively looking for a switch. Solution-focused keywords – Category-driven searches like "best CRM software" indicate potential buyers. Problem-focused keywords – Queries that reveal pain points (e.g., “how to improve sales conversion rates”). Common Mistake #5: Not Using Advanced Audience Targeting Target smarter: Avoid blanket targeting by narrowing ads to key demographics. Enterprise SaaS should avoid targeting younger age groups (e.g., 16-20) as they are unlikely to be decision-makers. Use the "observation" setting first to track audience performance before shifting to specific targeting settings. Common Mistake #6: Weak Ad Copy That Fails to Convert Ross's winning copywriting framework for Google Ads: Headline 1: Match the exact search term (e.g., “Best CRM Software"). Headline 2: State a unique value prop (e.g., “User-friendly design for teams"). CTA Headline: Create urgency (e.g., “Boost revenue—Start your free trial!”). Description: Include social proof (e.g., "Trusted by 10,000+ businesses worldwide"). Leverage customer reviews from G2, TrustRadius, or Capterra for copy inspiration. Final Thoughts & Recap Google Ads can be a goldmine if done right—avoid common pitfalls and optimize for success. Focus on landing page relevance, audience targeting, and high-intent keywords for best results. Adjust campaigns based on performance metrics—don't "set and forget." —

Advices and Queries 36: Do you uphold those who are acting under concern, even if their way is not yours? Can you lay aside your own wishes and prejudices while seeking with others to find God's will for them? This special Advice and Query asks us to become aware of our wishes and prejudices, our judgements and biases so that we can uphold Friends acting "under concern".

Both personal and entertaining, Fungal: Foraging in the Urban Forest (Wolsak & Wynn, 2024) is the highly anticipated second book of a trilogy and shows Winnipeg author Ariel Gordon at her best: interweaving the personal with the easily-overlooked local and natural and local world around her, and passing on her contagious delight for the world at—and under—our feet. In a diverse range of essays, Gordon showcases her background in biology, taking us deep into the fungal world, exploring mushrooms both edible and not, found and foraged, and the myriad ways in which mushrooms and trees make up our ecosystem and are in fact a reflection of the way we build our own personal communities and connections. This collection of essays will resonate with anyone who's ever thought, “can I eat that?” when seeing a mushroom, but also those with larger questions about our place in the natural world. More About Ariel Gordon: Ariel Gordon (she/her) is a Winnipeg/Treaty 1 territory-based writer, editor, and enthusiast. She is the ringleader of Writes of Spring, a National Poetry Month project with the Winnipeg International Writers Festival that appears in the Winnipeg Free Press. Gordon's essay “Red River Mudlark” was 2nd place winner of the 2022 Kloppenberg Hybrid Grain Contest in Grain Magazine and other work appeared recently in FreeFall, Columba Poetry, Canthius, and Canadian Notes & Queries. Gordon's fourth collection of poetry, Siteseeing: Writing nature & climate across the prairies, was written in collaboration with Saskatchewan poet Brenda Schmidt and appeared in fall 2023. About Hollay Ghadery: Hollay Ghadery is an Iranian-Canadian multi-genre writer living in Ontario on Anishinaabe land. She has her MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Guelph.

Both personal and entertaining, Fungal: Foraging in the Urban Forest (Wolsak & Wynn, 2024) is the highly anticipated second book of a trilogy and shows Winnipeg author Ariel Gordon at her best: interweaving the personal with the easily-overlooked local and natural and local world around her, and passing on her contagious delight for the world at—and under—our feet. In a diverse range of essays, Gordon showcases her background in biology, taking us deep into the fungal world, exploring mushrooms both edible and not, found and foraged, and the myriad ways in which mushrooms and trees make up our ecosystem and are in fact a reflection of the way we build our own personal communities and connections. This collection of essays will resonate with anyone who's ever thought, “can I eat that?” when seeing a mushroom, but also those with larger questions about our place in the natural world. More About Ariel Gordon: Ariel Gordon (she/her) is a Winnipeg/Treaty 1 territory-based writer, editor, and enthusiast. She is the ringleader of Writes of Spring, a National Poetry Month project with the Winnipeg International Writers Festival that appears in the Winnipeg Free Press. Gordon's essay “Red River Mudlark” was 2nd place winner of the 2022 Kloppenberg Hybrid Grain Contest in Grain Magazine and other work appeared recently in FreeFall, Columba Poetry, Canthius, and Canadian Notes & Queries. Gordon's fourth collection of poetry, Siteseeing: Writing nature & climate across the prairies, was written in collaboration with Saskatchewan poet Brenda Schmidt and appeared in fall 2023.
