Speaker(s): Mihail Mateev,
Abstract:
If you're using SQL Server 2012 or SQL Server 2014 as the database server for SharePoint 2013, you must perform particular set of steps to install SQL Server and then configure it specifically to host your SharePoint 2013 farm. In this session, we’ll walk through the installation process for SQL Server. I'll explain the post-installation configuration changes that are foreseen to SharePoint 2013. We’ll also have a look on how to configure SQL as SharePoint backups – all via PowerShell - for sure! As last point bottlenecks for HA/DR environments will be explained in a few steps. After this session you will serve admirably the database back end to your SharePoint 2013 farm.
Speaker(s): Gokan Ozcifci,
Abstract:
Social media are computer-mediated tools that allow people to create, share or exchange information, ideas, and pictures/videos in virtual communities and networks. To sum up Social Media is everything for your customers and Your company need to listen them to understand, make a custom offer or improve loyalty etc. Azure Stream Analytics and HDInsight platforms can solve this problem for you. We'll focus on how to get Twitter data using Stream Analytics and how to make data enrichment and storing using HDInsight and What is the problem about sentiment analytics using Azure Machine Learning.
Speaker(s): Koray Kocabas,
Abstract:
Columnstore indexes uses column-based data storage and query processing to achieve up to 10x query performance gains in your data warehouse over traditional row-oriented storage. It also makes you gain up to 10x data compression over the uncompressed data size. Beginning with SQL Server 2016 columnstore indexes enable operational analytics, the ability to run performant real-time analytics on a transactional workload. In this session we'll see how columnstore indexes work and how we can get most benefits from them in practice.
Speaker(s): Levent Oktar,
Abstract:
A few weeks ago Microsoft's Azure SQL Data Warehouse launched in limited public preview. Data is growing exponentially and companies have problems like storing, scaling, or analyzing etc. We will talk about new generation data warehouse that is an elastic data warehouse-as-a-service in Azure Platforms and compare similar technologies.
Speaker(s): Koray Kocabas,
Abstract:
Query Optimization is one of the most interesting and most challenging aspects of working with SQL Server. In this session, we will cover Query Design and Optimization for best performance. Firstly we will gather data for analysis, then we will identify bottlenecks, and finally we will optimize specific queries. All this will be done with small changes on our queries.
Speaker(s): Ismail Adar,
Abstract:
Another in TheSQLGuru's very popular "Deep Dive" series, this time covering indexing. You will learn about the internal structures of heaps, clustered indexes and nonclustered indexes. We will examine included columns and covering indexes, filtered indexes, indexed views, indexing DMVs and finding the right indexes. There are some incredibly helpful graphics as well as some nice samples to help you transition theory to practice.
Speaker(s): Kevin Boles,
Abstract:
In this session, make queries with SQL Server BI Power Desktop application on SharePoint and will give information about subtleties.

DevCon 2016 Word Cloud
Every year we hold an internal developers conference called DevCon. This year we had 295 submissions for talks, ranging from a deep technical dive into the inner workings of Kafka to a reflection on the power of office pranks. I wondered what, if anything, do these submissions have in common? …


| MPI_WIN_ALLOCATE(size, disp_unit, info, comm, baseptr, win) | |
| IN size | size of window in bytes (non-negative integer) |
| IN disp_unit | local unit size for displacements, in bytes (positive integer) |
| IN info | info argument (handle) |
| IN comm | intra-communicator (handle) |
| OUT baseptr | initial address of window (choice) |
| OUT win | window object returned by the call (handle) |
int MPI_Win_allocate(MPI_Aint size, int disp_unit, MPI_Info info, MPI_Comm comm, void *baseptr, MPI_Win *win)
MPI_Win_allocate(size, disp_unit, info, comm, baseptr, win, ierror)
USE, INTRINSIC :: ISO_C_BINDING, ONLY : C_PTR
INTEGER(KIND=MPI_ADDRESS_KIND), INTENT(IN) :: size
INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: disp_unit
TYPE(MPI_Info), INTENT(IN) :: info
TYPE(MPI_Comm), INTENT(IN) :: comm
TYPE(C_PTR), INTENT(OUT) :: baseptr
TYPE(MPI_Win), INTENT(OUT) :: win
INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror
MPI_WIN_ALLOCATE(SIZE, DISP_UNIT, INFO, COMM, BASEPTR, WIN, IERROR)
INTEGER DISP_UNIT, INFO, COMM, WIN, IERROR
INTEGER(KIND=MPI_ADDRESS_KIND) SIZE, BASEPTR
This is a collective call executed by all processes in the group of comm. On each process, it allocates memory of at least size bytes, returns a pointer to it, and returns a window object that can be used by all processes in comm to perform RMA operations. The returned memory consists of size bytes local to each process, starting at address baseptr and is associated with the window as if the user called MPI_WIN_CREATE on existing memory. The size argument may be different at each process and size = 0 is valid; however, a library might allocate and expose more memory in order to create a fast, globally symmetric allocation. The discussion of and rationales for MPI_ALLOC_MEM and MPI_FREE_MEM in Section Memory Allocation also apply to MPI_WIN_ALLOCATE; in particular, see the rationale in Section Memory Allocation for an explanation of the type used for baseptr.
If the Fortran compiler provides TYPE(C_PTR), then the following generic interface must be provided in the mpi module and should be provided in mpif.h through overloading, i.e., with the same routine name as the routine with INTEGER(KIND=MPI_ADDRESS_KIND) BASEPTR, but with a different specific procedure name:
INTERFACE MPI_WIN_ALLOCATE SUBROUTINE MPI_WIN_ALLOCATE(SIZE, DISP_UNIT, INFO, COMM, BASEPTR, & WIN, IERROR) IMPORT :: MPI_ADDRESS_KIND INTEGER DISP_UNIT, INFO, COMM, WIN, IERROR INTEGER(KIND=MPI_ADDRESS_KIND) SIZE, BASEPTR END SUBROUTINE SUBROUTINE MPI_WIN_ALLOCATE_CPTR(SIZE, DISP_UNIT, INFO, COMM, BASEPTR, & WIN, IERROR) USE, INTRINSIC :: ISO_C_BINDING, ONLY : C_PTR IMPORT :: MPI_ADDRESS_KIND INTEGER :: DISP_UNIT, INFO, COMM, WIN, IERROR INTEGER(KIND=MPI_ADDRESS_KIND) :: SIZE TYPE(C_PTR) :: BASEPTR END SUBROUTINE END INTERFACEThe base procedure name of this overloaded function is MPI_WIN_ALLOCATE_CPTR. The implied specific procedure names are described in Section Interface Specifications, Procedure Names, and the Profiling Interface .
Rationale.
By allocating (potentially aligned) memory instead of allowing the user
to pass in an arbitrary buffer, this call can improve the performance
for systems with remote direct memory access.
This also permits the collective allocation of memory and
supports what is sometimes called the ``symmetric allocation'' model
that can be more scalable (for example, the implementation can
arrange to return an address for the allocated memory that is the
same on all processes).
( End of rationale.)
The info argument can be used to specify hints
similar to the info argument for MPI_WIN_CREATE and
MPI_ALLOC_MEM.


Vim documentation: usr_09
main help file*usr_09.txt* For Vim version 7.2. Last change: 2006 Apr 24 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Using the GUI Vim works in an ordinary terminal. GVim can do the same things and a few more. The GUI offers menus, a toolbar, scrollbars and other items. This chapter is about these extra things that the GUI offers. |09.1| Parts of the GUI |09.2| Using the mouse |09.3| The clipboard |09.4| Select mode Next chapter: |usr_10.txt| Making big changes Previous chapter: |usr_08.txt| Splitting windows Table of contents: |usr_toc.txt|
*09.1* Parts of the GUI You might have an icon on your desktop that starts gVim. Otherwise, one of these commands should do it: gvim file.txt vim -g file.txt If this doesn't work you don't have a version of Vim with GUI support. You will have to install one first. Vim will open a window and display "file.txt" in it. What the window looks like depends on the version of Vim. It should resemble the following picture (for as far as this can be shown in ASCII!). +----------------------------------------------------+ | file.txt + (~/dir) - VIM X | <- window title +----------------------------------------------------+ | File Edit Tools Syntax Buffers Window Help | <- menubar +----------------------------------------------------+ | aaa bbb ccc ddd eee fff ggg hhh iii jjj | <- toolbar | aaa bbb ccc ddd eee fff ggg hhh iii jjj | +----------------------------------------------------+ | file text | ^ | | ~ | # | | ~ | # | <- scrollbar | ~ | # | | ~ | # | | ~ | # | | | V | +----------------------------------------------------+ The largest space is occupied by the file text. This shows the file in the same way as in a terminal. With some different colors and another font perhaps. THE WINDOW TITLE At the very top is the window title. This is drawn by your window system. Vim will set the title to show the name of the current file. First comes the name of the file. Then some special characters and the directory of the file in parens. These special character can be present: - The file cannot be modified (e.g., a help file) + The file contains changes = The file is read-only =+ The file is read-only, contains changes anyway If nothing is shown you have an ordinary, unchanged file. THE MENUBAR You know how menus work, right? Vim has the usual items, plus a few more. Browse them to get an idea of what you can use them for. A relevant submenu is Edit/Global Settings. You will find these entries: Toggle Toolbar make the toolbar appear/disappear Toggle Bottom Scrollbar make a scrollbar appear/disappear at the bottom Toggle Left Scrollbar make a scrollbar appear/disappear at the left Toggle Right Scrollbar make a scrollbar appear/disappear at the right On most systems you can tear-off the menus. Select the top item of the menu, the one that looks like a dashed line. You will get a separate window with the items of the menu. It will hang around until you close the window. THE TOOLBAR This contains icons for the most often used actions. Hopefully the icons are self-explanatory. There are tooltips to get an extra hint (move the mouse pointer to the icon without clicking and don't move it for a second). The "Edit/Global Settings/Toggle Toolbar" menu item can be used to make the toolbar disappear. If you never want a toolbar, use this command in your vimrc file: :set guioptions-=T This removes the 'T' flag from the 'guioptions' option. Other parts of the GUI can also be enabled or disabled with this option. See the help for it. THE SCROLLBARS By default there is one scrollbar on the right. It does the obvious thing. When you split the window, each window will get its own scrollbar. You can make a horizontal scrollbar appear with the menu item Edit/Global Settings/Toggle Bottom Scrollbar. This is useful in diff mode, or when the 'wrap' option has been reset (more about that later). When there are vertically split windows, only the windows on the right side will have a scrollbar. However, when you move the cursor to a window on the left, it will be this one the that scrollbar controls. This takes a bit of time to get used to. When you work with vertically split windows, consider adding a scrollbar on the left. This can be done with a menu item, or with the 'guioptions' option: :set guioptions+=l This adds the 'l' flag to 'guioptions'.
*09.2* Using the mouse Standards are wonderful. In Microsoft Windows, you can use the mouse to select text in a standard manner. The X Window system also has a standard system for using the mouse. Unfortunately, these two standards are not the same. Fortunately, you can customize Vim. You can make the behavior of the mouse work like an X Window system mouse or a Microsoft Windows mouse. The following command makes the mouse behave like an X Window mouse: :behave xterm The following command makes the mouse work like a Microsoft Windows mouse: :behave mswin The default behavior of the mouse on UNIX systems is xterm. The default behavior on a Microsoft Windows system is selected during the installation process. For details about what the two behaviors are, see |:behave|. Here follows a summary. XTERM MOUSE BEHAVIOR Left mouse click position the cursor Left mouse drag select text in Visual mode Middle mouse click paste text from the clipboard Right mouse click extend the selected text until the mouse pointer MSWIN MOUSE BEHAVIOR Left mouse click position the cursor Left mouse drag select text in Select mode (see |09.4|) Left mouse click, with Shift extend the selected text until the mouse pointer Middle mouse click paste text from the clipboard Right mouse click display a pop-up menu The mouse can be further tuned. Check out these options if you want to change the way how the mouse works: 'mouse' in which mode the mouse is used by Vim 'mousemodel' what effect a mouse click has 'mousetime' time between clicks for a double-click 'mousehide' hide the mouse while typing 'selectmode' whether the mouse starts Visual or Select mode
*09.3* The clipboard In section |04.7| the basic use of the clipboard was explained. There is one essential thing to explain about X-windows: There are actually two places to exchange text between programs. MS-Windows doesn't have this. In X-Windows there is the "current selection". This is the text that is currently highlighted. In Vim this is the Visual area (this assumes you are using the default option settings). You can paste this selection in another application without any further action. For example, in this text select a few words with the mouse. Vim will switch to Visual mode and highlight the text. Now start another gVim, without a file name argument, so that it displays an empty window. Click the middle mouse button. The selected text will be inserted. The "current selection" will only remain valid until some other text is selected. After doing the paste in the other gVim, now select some characters in that window. You will notice that the words that were previously selected in the other gVim window are displayed differently. This means that it no longer is the current selection. You don't need to select text with the mouse, using the keyboard commands for Visual mode works just as well. THE REAL CLIPBOARD Now for the other place with which text can be exchanged. We call this the "real clipboard", to avoid confusion. Often both the "current selection" and the "real clipboard" are called clipboard, you'll have to get used to that. To put text on the real clipboard, select a few different words in one of the gVims you have running. Then use the Edit/Copy menu entry. Now the text has been copied to the real clipboard. You can't see this, unless you have some application that shows the clipboard contents (e.g., KDE's klipper). Now select the other gVim, position the cursor somewhere and use the Edit/Paste menu. You will see the text from the real clipboard is inserted. USING BOTH This use of both the "current selection" and the "real clipboard" might sound a bit confusing. But it is very useful. Let's show this with an example. Use one gVim with a text file and perform these actions: - Select two words in Visual mode. - Use the Edit/Copy menu to get these words onto the clipboard. - Select one other word in Visual mode. - Use the Edit/Paste menu item. What will happen is that the single selected word is replaced with the two words from the clipboard. - Move the mouse pointer somewhere else and click the middle button. You will see that the word you just overwrote with the clipboard is inserted here. If you use the "current selection" and the "real clipboard" with care, you can do a lot of useful editing with them. USING THE KEYBOARD If you don't like using the mouse, you can access the current selection and the real clipboard with two registers. The "* register is for the current selection. To make text become the current selection, use Visual mode. For example, to select a whole line just press "V". To insert the current selection before the cursor: "*P Notice the uppercase "P". The lowercase "p" puts the text after the cursor. The "+ register is used for the real clipboard. For example, to copy the text from the cursor position until the end of the line to the clipboard: "+y$ Remember, "y" is yank, which is Vim's copy command. To insert the contents of the real clipboard before the cursor: "+P It's the same as for the current selection, but uses the plus (+) register instead of the star (*) register.
*09.4* Select mode And now something that is used more often on MS-Windows than on X-Windows. But both can do it. You already know about Visual mode. Select mode is like Visual mode, because it is also used to select text. But there is an obvious difference: When typing text, the selected text is deleted and the typed text replaces it. To start working with Select mode, you must first enable it (for MS-Windows it is probably already enabled, but you can do this anyway): :set selectmode+=mouse Now use the mouse to select some text. It is highlighted like in Visual mode. Now press a letter. The selected text is deleted, and the single letter replaces it. You are in Insert mode now, thus you can continue typing. Since typing normal text causes the selected text to be deleted, you can not use the normal movement commands "hjkl", "w", etc. Instead, use the shifted function keys. <S-Left> (shifted cursor left key) moves the cursor left. The selected text is changed like in Visual mode. The other shifted cursor keys do what you expect. <S-End> and <S-Home> also work. You can tune the way Select mode works with the 'selectmode' option.

Howdy! arranged.team is a project from the friends behind replay hosting site highper.ch, iconic mountaineering strat highperching, and (back in the day) preeminent arranged team collective Clan TOWA. Our native gametypes are 3v3 and 4v4 AT, and as the war3 playerbase has dwindled it has become increasingly difficult to actually find games in these purest of gametypes.
In attempting to determine the hottest times for specific gametypes, it was clear that we'd have to gather information about all games. We only really care about 3s and 4s AT, but since we have all of this data, why not publish information of a broader scope? War3 has been on the decline for quite a while, but recently such events as significant patches by Blizzard, Grubby's return to the game, and dedicated tournament coverage appear to be imparting at least some new life to the game. This tool will, hopefully, help to quantify the renewed interest in the game.
The software powering this site, wig-heat, is open-source - if you want to add or change functionality or style, send me a pull request!
Tons of thanks to iggyfisk, Mata, and pecanswa for helping build this. Additional thanks to the rest of the crew for playing war3 et al with me for 11 years: timg4strok, Blinn, Iceberg-Slim, dnkles, Thormjun, and Shamshel.
A:Here! GameIDs are sequential, so it's pretty easy to scrape them all.
Q:How does this all work?
A: Python 3, BeautifulSoup, SQLAlchemy/SQLite, d3.js, NVD3, and bash/cron. We first traverse each game's detail page in order (in wigscraper.py), grabbing the GameID, date/time, gametype, game length, and map and shoving it all into a database. Once we have enough games, we can generate useful collections of data to be interpreted and displayed (done in wigquery.py). After millions of games have been crunched to useful data in the form of CSVs, a static frontend displays the visualizations using d3.js, mostly via NVD3.
Q:How often is the data updated?
A: Daily. The previous day's games are fetched and new queries are run starting at 08:00 UTC. The previous day's data will be visible at around 09:00 UTC.
Q:What happened on 2017-04-05?
A:Patch 1.28 was released, which was broken for a bunch of people (especially MacOS and WinXP users).
Q:Why does the data only cover 2017?
A: Logging each game requires an http request to the Ladders page, and with ~3.8 million total games played in 2016, that's a lot of requests! I'm trying to be considerate of Blizzard by not parallelizing the scraping process and blasting their servers with hundreds of requests per second, so it'll take some time - I'd estimate that 2016 data will be ready sometime in August September? It's possible that eventually I'll have the entire ladders history (all the way back to June 2008), but that's about 150 million total games - we'll see. Currently an EC2 t2.small takes about 1 minute per million games to crunch down to CSVs. Some rearchitecture may be required...
Q:Can I play around with your data?
A: Sure! The daily CSV exports are here, and the SQLite database files are on Github (though they won't always be up-to-date).
Q:Does this represent RoC, or TFT, or both?
A: All data is TFT-only, with the exception of the "All Realms" time series which counts both RoC and TFT games. See the Statistics page for details on how games are classified as RoC or TFT.
Q:How are you accounting for lossbots/icon grinders?
A: By ignoring games shorter than 3 minutes. This is not foolproof, but this whole endeavor is pretty seat-of-the-pants.
Q:What about w3arena and netease?
A: I know - they're not included, this is battle.net data only. If you're aware of an API or datasource for the alternate ladders that could be parsed to [unique gameid, datetime, gametype, gamelength, map], let me know or send a PR and I'd be happy to add them!
Q:What is "Wig"?
A: "Warcraft" "III" "Games". e.g. "Do you want to wig?", "I'm wigging out", "It's prime time, there are wigs to be had"...

UX design case study - 2020
Video-conference tool for education
The coronavirus outbreak has pushed many canadian colleges to
move classes to an online format. The project aims to improve
the experience of educators and students when having class via
video-conferencing softwares. We created an interface that
connects educators and students.
My role
UX researcher, UX designer and front-end developer(reactJS)
Tools
Figma, Miro, Slack, ReactJS and Zoom
Discover
Observation
Through several participants observation sessions, we defined
problems that students are currently facing in a virtual
educational environment.
The inability for presenters and participants to engage and have
dialogue with one another is a major issue with video
conferencing. The lack of low risk, non-disruptive,
simple-to-use features that allow participants to comfortably
engage with presentations results in lower levels of engagement.
This lack of engagement is especially troublesome for
presentations with educational objectives as engagement is a
necessary component for learning.
Competitive analysis
While many software had features that engage participants, no
software provided any features for participants to react and
engage in a presentation without garnering overwhelming
attention and/or being disrupting, while still being easily
visible to the presenter.
Via our proposed system, presenters will be able to interpret
participant engagement with ease through our proposed real time
visualization and aggregation of participant’s reactions and
responses This eliminates the need for presenters to switch to
different tabs or change the view mode to engage more
comfortably with participants.

Define
Mental Model
Based on findings from participants observation, we defined the
mental model for "having an online class on video conferencing
tools" to select groups of people whom we want to focus on to
provide a tailored experience to users.
We listed distinguishing tasks and grouped them where there is
behavior affinity. At this stage, we defined actors, named the
groups (actors) and wrote an description.

Persona
Based on the task-based audience segments, we defined three
personas.
In order to keep it manageable within the allotted time frame,
we selected core groups to focus for this project.
For presenters, we decided to target those with low and medium
prior knowledge of video-conferencing tools , as well as those
who look forhigh participation from their audience. For
participants, we targeted both shy and active participants that
are focused on the presentation.
Explore
..and iterative, iterative and iterative!
Via Zoom (in order to be familiar with remote UX processes), we
carried out the 10 plus 10 method of generating design concepts.
First, we didn’t constrain the technology feasibility and the layout
of our possible designs, rather we explored all possible design
options.
After several sessions, we settled on a single column interface
which doesn’t incorporate video conferencing tools. We wanted our
system to be used by anyone, no matter their choice of
video-conferencing platform. From that, we generated many ideas
about the style and format of the interface, namely where key
features like raising hand or emoting would go.
It wasn't easy to make some design decisions!
We loved all our designs and wanted to have all the features.
However, we had to make some decistoins to get the design right! We
bounced our ideas off each other with sketches and conducted the
usability testing with our paper prototypes!
Develop
Design Evolution and High-fidelity Prototypes
The design has undergone some revision in light of the feedback we
had received from the usability testing with our paper prototype.
Therefore, based on findings from the usability testing with our
paper prototypes, we created the high-fidelity prototypes with
Figma.
There are several design evolution from low-fi prototypes:
1) clear labelling on each section, 2)
"clear the queue/result" button (short-cut for the
interaction),
3)
improved visualization of the "level of understanding graph" and 4) constraints on the self-reported understanding bar.


"A connection or series of connections linking two or more things."
In Phantasma, the Nexus is the entity that binds the whole ecosystem together. It links together the Phantasma mainnet and all associated side-chains, tokens, organizations and dapps.
A developer wishing to connect their project with Phantasma can easily query a node to obtain information about the Nexus contents, using the available REST API.
It is also possible (and recommended) for a developer to deploy their own local Nexus, in order to easily develop their connections with dapps, contracts and any other kind of development and testing.

There is a seat missing among us today. One of the regular Unis is sick and cannot come.
A petite girl with a large book of Classical Ballads sits down in the empty chair. She has a taco salad. None of us got a taco salad, because unlike all the other entrees which are eaten with spoon and fork, it is too hands-on. Eating a taco salad would distinguish us from others. She has a side of curried cauliflower, rather than the peppered peas that the rest of us have. She is wearing a blue shirt, not a U-shirt.
We all look at her, unsure how to respond. I wait for another to speak up, but of course, we are all waiting for another to speak up, so none of us do.
“Heya,” she says brightly. “On the surface you look the same/ Makes me wonder what are y’all’s names?”

When I walked out of the Ideologies Fair, I thought I would never see my shirt ever again.

At Philosophocle, there are many paths. There are stairs angling proudly up the hills and sinusoids winding leisurely through the garden. There are zigzags of wheelchair-accessible alternatives, basement tunnels lined with hot-water pipes, ladders hung from trees designated good for climbing, forbidden rooftops (to be traversed only during power outages, when the electricity to the alarmed door cuts off). People have chosen their paths, like Jacob who always chooses the zigzagging path rather than the stairs even when he’s late for class, to remind himself “there are no shortcuts to life”, or Albert, who dreams of being a squirrel, and is still practicing his tree-climbing so he can make it across campus without touching ground.
As I entered the Ideologies Fair, I wondered: what would be my path?

APC NEC meets on Amosun’s, Akeredolu’s fate, others
Yusuf Alli, Abuja
THE All Progressives Congress (APC) will on Friday hold its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting with the outcome of the Presidential Election tribunal and the governorship poll results in Bayelsa and Kogi states top on the agenda.
The meeting will also look into the suspension of Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu and ex-Governors Ibikunle Amosun and Rochas Okorocha, who are now senators.
There was pressure on NEC members last night to lift the suspension on key leaders in order to keep a united APC family.
Although the crisis in Edo State chapter of APC is not slated for consideration, there were indications that some members of the committee might raise the issue.
The National Working Committee (NWC) has NWC had already set up a five-man fact-finding committee headed by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje on the crisis of confidence among APC stakeholders in Edo State.

Also, in the team are Katsina State Governor Aminu Masari; former Governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi; former governor of Borno State, Senator Kashim Shettima and Hon. Ahmed Wadada as Secretary.
Some items on the agenda include the 2020 Budget of APC; the building of a new secretariat for the party and the establishment of the Progressives Institute to train future members and leaders on party politics.
According to a source, who spoke in confidence, the NEC will hold a “frank session” on some issues.
The source said: “We will review the outcome of the presidential election; the challenges and triumphs at the Presidential Election Tribunal and the Supreme Court; and the governorship poll results in Bayelsa and Kogi states.
“We lost about four to five states during the February general elections but with the results of the governorship elections in Bayelsa and Kogi states, it appears things are getting better for APC.


See Stock And Modded Ford Explorer ST Drag Race Dodge Durango SRT
It's a three-row showdown of speed.
by Christopher SmithYes, the SUV segment is growing by leaps and bounds in all directions. Still, three-row people movers aren’t typically the subject of side-by-side drag racing. The primary mission for these vehicles is to move more than five passengers, and while performance SUVs are certainly a thing, it’s typically relegated to the two-row variety.
The Dodge Durango SRT and Ford Explorer ST challenge that paradigm, and the folks at The Fast Lane Car took that challenge to Pageland Dragway in South Carolina for a side-by-side comparison. Actually, this is a side-by-side-by-side comparo, as a tweaked Explorer ST from 5 Star Tuning joined a stock version to battle the Durango. If comparing a stock Dodge to a modified Ford seems ridiculously unfair, you’re right. However, we do see method behind that madness. More on that in a bit.
Seven People, No Waiting:
First off, here’s what you need to know. The Dodge Durango SRT is the horsepower hero in this three-row showdown, at least in stock trim. Its 6.4-liter Hemi V8 doles out 475 horsepower (354 kilowatts) and 470 pound-feet (637 Newton-meters) of twist, compared to 400 hp (298 kW) and 415 lb-ft (637 Nm) from the Explorer’s twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6. It sounds like a stacked deck from the get-go, but the Explorer does have a 10-speed auto versus the 8-speed in the Dodge, so gearing could be better at this short 1/8-mile drag strip.
Also, the Explorer is no lightweight at around 4,700 pounds, but at nearly three tons the Durango is a veritable pig stuffed with extra ballast for good measure. Suddenly, that 75-hp Mopar advantage seems rather small.
Gallery: Ford Explorer ST Vs Dodge Durango SRT Drag Race
Who wins the stock showdown? The weight difference is significant, but so is the power and to that end, the Durango takes the prize. It’s relatively close, however; we’ll let the video show how close and instead toss the Blue Oval ringer into the mix. Specifically, it’s a second Explorer ST brandishing nothing more than an ECM tune, but it’s said to add no less than 100 hp and 155 lb-ft of twist to the wheels. There’s a catch though – it requires a special blend of 93 octane pump gas and E85 to create an E50 mixture. Ordinarily, we like to leave something to the imagination on videos like this, but let’s be realistic. If the stock ST was pretty close to the Durango, this modified example leaves it for dead. For. Dead.
We can already hear the Dodge faithful crying foul on this apples-to-oranges comparison, and you’re not wrong. However, we mention this because the Durango SRT starts at around $64,000 with destination included. Meanwhile, the Explorer ST is nearly $10,000 cheaper, and according to the video, the ECM tune is approximately $600. It would likely void any Ford warranty, but unbalanced comparison aside, this is tough to ignore if you’re seeking speed in a three-row SUV.

Why use APPinAIR ?
Now, APPinAIR can manage any kind of artifacts but yet, only IOS And Android OTA install is managed so platform allows only IOS and Android application for now (aka .ipa and .apk artifacts).
You could benefit an over-the-air update on your devices such as smartphones, that is distributed over Wi-Fi or mobile broadband using a function built into the operating system, with the "over-the-air" aspect referring to its use of wireless internet instead of requiring the user to connect the device to a computer via USB to perform the update.

The St. Genevieve Catholic Church Knights of Columbus Council # 14772 was conceived and organized by a group of men who are mostly active parishioners and leaders of the St. Genevieve church in Panorama City, California.
This group of eleven worthy knights headed by charter Grand Knight Primo M. Sumagaysay and Deputy Grand Knight Noel S.V. Omega had originally met and planned the establishment of the St. Genevieve Parish Knights of Columbus Council in Panorama City on September 7, 2008 during the “Pinoy Festival” at the Panorama Recreational Center in Panorama City. Listed below are the Founding Members of St. Genevieve Catholic Church Council No. 14772 of the Knights of Columbus:
On April 19, 2009, the historic St. Genevieve Parish Council No. 14772 of the Knights of Columbus in Panorama City, CA was born with the ceremonial institution of the first degree members of the Council. The Exemplification Ceremony, which was held at the Madonna Hall of St. Genevieve church in Panorama City, was conducted by an Exemplification Team from the Immaculate Heart of Mary’s Knights of Columbus Council in Los Angeles, California.
Thirty one (31) new charter members were initiated into first degree as follows:
There are twenty nine (29) transferees and readmissions as charter members. Overall, the St. Genevieve Council 14772 was founded and established by sixty (60) Charter members.
Among those who assisted the IHM Council # 13237 of the Knights of Columbus exemplification team were SK Elpidio Andrion, President, Southern CA Chapter, SK Mario Santiago, Chairman, New Council Development, Southern CA and District Deputy # 70, SK Vince D’ Antonio, Chapter Program Chairman and District Deputy # 68, SK Ed Manila, District Deputy # 75, Field Agent Edward Bernard , Alex Aguilar and Nato Quitasol , PGK of John F. Kennedy Council # 6004 in Artesia, California
The St. Genevieve Council # 14772 of the Knights of Columbus was conceived and organized by a group of men who are mostly active parishioners and leaders of the St. Genevieve church in Panorama City, California.
In the late 19th century, Catholics were regularly excluded from labor unions and other organizations that provided social services. In addition, catholics were either barred from many of the popular fraternal organizations, or, as in the case of Freemasonry, forbidden from joining by the Catholic Church itself.
Father Michael J. McGivney, an Irish-American priest from New Haven, Connecticut, saw what could happen to a family when the breadwinner died and wanted to provide insurance to care for the widows and orphans left behind. He himself had to temporarily leave his seminary studies to care for his family when his father died.
On October 2, 1881, Father Michael J. McGivney, a 29-year-old assistant pastor at St. Mary's Church in New Haven, brought together a group of laymen with whom he discussed his dream for organizing a Catholic fraternal benefit society. Finally by March 29, 1882 the State of Connecticut granted the Knights of Columbus a legal corporation status. The anniversary is observed each year by the Knights as Founder's Day.
Almost immediately after the incorporation of the Knights of Columbus, Father McGivney wrote a letter to all the pastors of what was then the Diocese of Hartford, Connecticut, outlining the organization's aims. He wrote: "Our primary object is to prevent our people from entering secret societies by offering the same if not better advantages to our members. Secondly, our object is to unite the men of faith in the Diocese of Hartford, that we may thereby gain strength to aid each other in time of sickness; to provide for decent burial; and to render pecuniary assistance to families of deceased members." The founder's letter concluded with his hope that the Knights of Columbus would be represented in every parish in Connecticut. What started at a church basement in 1881 is now the world’s largest Catholic family fraternal service organization, with 1.7 million members worldwide.
People who knew Father McGivney were impressed by his energy and intensity. Father Gordian Daley later recalled, "I saw him but once, and yet I remembered this pale, beautiful face as if I saw it only yesterday. It was a 'priest's face' and that explained everything. It was a face of wonderful repose. There was nothing harsh in that countenance although there was everything that was strong." William Geary, one of the Order's charter members, said that at the first council meeting in 1882, he was "acclaimed as founder by 24 men with hearts full of joy and thanksgiving, recognizing that without his optimism, his will to succeed, his counsel and advice they would have failed."
Father McGivney’s founding vision for the Order also included a life insurance program to provide for the widows and orphans of deceased members. The Order’s insurance program has expanded substantially to serve, more effectively, the Knights’ growing membership. Year after year, the Knights of Columbus has earned the highest possible quality ratings for financial soundness from A.M. Best and Standard & Poor’s. The Order provides the highest quality insurance, annuity and long-term care products to its members, along with many other fraternal benefits.
The Supreme Council is the governing body of the Knights of Columbus and is responsible for the development of the organization as a whole. Supreme Council duties include establishing the Order in new regions and setting up regional authorities, defining and advancing its values and goals, undertaking organization-wide initiatives, promoting awareness of the Knights’ mission worldwide, and protecting the families of members through its extensive insurance program. Members working in local, or subordinate councils, however, carry on the majority of the Knights’ beneficial work.
The Knights of Columbus is a lay, Catholic, family, fraternal, service organization. Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to all practical Catholic men in communion with the Holy See, age eighteen and above. The term practical Catholic implies that a person accepts and abides by the Commandments of God and the precepts and tenets of the Catholic church.
The Order has been called "the strong right arm of the Church," and has been praised by popes, presidents and other world leaders, for support of the Church, programs of evangelization and Catholic education, civic involvement and aid to those in need.

Badminton: Mauritian Foo Kune loses African silver medal after doping violation
(Reuters) - Mauritian Kate Foo Kune has been stripped of her silver medal from this year’s All African Badminton Championship after she was found to have breached anti-doping regulations, the sport’s governing body said on Tuesday.
The Badminton World Federation (BWF) doping hearing panel ruled Foo Kone committed an anti-doping violation, resulting in the disqualification of her singles results at the tournament held in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.
The panel, however, chose not to impose any period of ineligibility on the 26-year-old after it was found that she “bore no fault or negligence”.
The BWF said in a statement it would appeal the panel’s decision, with Foo Kune cleared to participate in international and national competitions until the final decision on the case.
“The BWF has decided to appeal the decision before the Court of Arbitration for Sport as it touches upon the interpretation of fundamental principles of the World Anti-Doping Code and the Anti-Doping Regulations,” it said.

Revision Current Public Release (2013.2076) Keywords plugin, marketplace See also Marketplace
This guide is for 3rd parties who are ready to submit a plugin.
Plugins are distributed differently depending on the product;
Plugins should be submitted via a bitbucket repo that has been shared with you. The structure of that repo must follow a particular format.
When you have an update to your repo, you can generate a pull request.
To help you get started, we have created a Plugin Submission Template that contains starter files, with the exception of the plugins
binary directory.
You should package up your files in the following format
metadata.json
Key information about your plugin. See 'Format for metadata.json' below.docs/
Contains documentation. See 'Creating Documentation' below.plugins/
${VERSION}/
Daily build version, e.g. 2013.1076
. See 'Plugin Versioning' below.
android/
metadata.lua
See 'Format for per-platform metadata.lua' below.iphone/
metadata.lua
See 'Format for per-platform metadata.lua' below.iphone-sim/
metadata.lua
See 'Format for per-platform metadata.lua' below.mac-sim/
win32-sim/
samples/
This contains the SDK-style project, e.g. 'main.lua', that we can use to verify your plugin.This json file contains information about the publisher, the name of the plugin as it appears in Lua, and other related information.
The Plugin Submission Template contains a metadata.json
file that should be updated with the appropriate information.
Here's an example:
{
"contact"<EMAIL_ADDRESS>"url": "http://www.mycompany.com",
"pluginName": "plugin.mylibrary",
"publisherId": "com.mycompany"
}
The metadata.lua
file describes properties of the plugin binary. This file is required for the following target platforms:
The Plugin Submission Template provides stub versions. Examples are listed below:
On Android, you need to specify the format of the binary. Currently .jar is supported. Support for native .so shared libraries is coming soon.
In addition, you can specify elements in the AndroidManifest.xml
file that need to be modified in order to accommodate the plugin.
local metadata =
{
plugin =
{
format = 'jar',
manifest =
{
permissions = {},
usesPermissions =
{
"android.permission.INTERNET",
"android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE",
"android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE",
},
usesFeatures = {},
applicationChildElements =
{
-- Array of strings
[[
<activity android:name="com.mycompany.MyActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden"/>]],
},
},
},
}
return metadata
The iOS and iOS Simulator metadata.lua
files should be the same.
In both, you specify the format of the binary. Currently only static libraries are supported.
For frameworks, Corona already links to a list by default (see 'Default Frameworks' below). If you need to link against additional frameworks, you can specify them in the metadata.lua
file as either required frameworks or optional frameworks (weak linking). When you list them, please remove the .framework
extension.
Here's an example:
local metadata =
{
plugin =
{
format = 'staticLibrary',
-- This is the name without the 'lib' prefix.
-- In this case, the static library is called: libplugin_openudid.a
staticLibs = { 'plugin_openudid', },
frameworks = {},
frameworksOptional = {},
},
}
return metadata
By default, Corona will automatically require the following frameworks
For backward iOS version compatibility, Corona weak links against the following frameworks:
These files should be written in markdown files. Once your submission is accepted, these markdown files will be converted and hosted on our docs site.
Your markdown files should follow the markdown files in the Plugin Submission Template. There is more information on how to deal with linking between multiple markdown files and what flavor of markdown we support in the template Readme.
When a plugin is published to Corona's servers, you must specify a daily build version for the plugin binary you are deploying.
This daily build version controls the availability of your plugin. Specifically, you will need to use that version (or subsequent versions) of the Corona SDK in order to use that plugin in a device build and, when available, in the Corona Simulator.
For example, if you want your plugin to be available starting in daily build 2013.1076
, then you should use that for ${VERSION}
per the above directory structure.
Then you would tell developers to install Corona SDK version 2013.1076
in order to access that plugin.
For new plugins, we recommend you use the most recent public release as your version. This ensures that your plugin is available to the broadest audience possible.
When you build your plugin binary, you should use the corresponding version of CoronaEnterprise. For example, if you choose daily build version 2013.1076
, then you should build using CoronaEnterprise 2013.1076
.
Normally, when you update a plugin binary, you just resubmit the plugin.However, there may be an occasion in which a newer version of the plugin breaks backwards compatibility (e.g. API change) or your plugin depends on new functionality available in a later version of Corona.
In this situation, you should deploy a separate plugin binary. This binary will correspond to a different/newer daily build version of Corona SDK. A developer then simply grabs that newer Corona SDK daily build to access the new version of the plugin. In this way, you can keep the legacy plugin binary around to preserve backwards compatibility.
For example, here's what your plugins
directory might look like:
plugins/
2013.1076/
Contains the older legacy plugin binaries.2013.1100/
Contains the new plugin binaries (e.g. different API)The following is an example of how the network
library would be packaged assuming it were introduced in daily build 2013.1076:
metadata.json
docs/
index.markdown
cancel.markdown
canDetectNetworkStatusChanges.markdown
download.markdown
request.markdown
setStatusListener.markdown
upload.markdown

iphone-sim/
libnetwork.a
(i386)metadata.lua
mac-sim/
network.dylib
win32-sim/
network.dll
samples/
main.lua
background.png
At a minimum you will need to supply a LUA plugin stub for all platforms (including plugin versions for Windows and OSX). These stubs should allow Corona SDK developers to make calls as they would on a fully supported platform. A sample LUA stub can be found here: https://github.com/coronalabs/plugins-lua-template/blob/master/shared/plugin_PLUGIN_NAME.lua
Under the daily build version of the plugin folder you should supply your plugin implementations within the folders named android, iphone, iphone-sim, mac-sim, and win32-sim.
If the plugin does not have an implementation for Windows or OSX then we recommend creating LUA stub files (see above.)
If you wish to provide Windows or Mac simulator plugin implementations, you will need to use Visual Studio and Xcode respectively, to produce Dll's and Dylibs. A few links of interest can be found here:
Please contact us whenever there is a change made to the documentation or libraries to make sure that we are aware of your change and that you wish to make it publicly available<EMAIL_ADDRESS>When you submit a plugin, two versions should be submitted. The iphone folder should contain the armv7 plugin and the iphone-sim folder should contain the i386 version of the plugin. This ensures that there is a plugin available for both the XCode simulator and the physical device.
Resources cannot be included directly in an Android plugin, it's recommended that the plugin download resource files it requires.
For plugins available for Corona SDK builds 2013.1148 and above the native library (.so) plugin should be built with the Android NDK labelled android-ndk-r8b.
We recommend uploading sample code to a GitHub repo and linking to it from within the plugin index.markdown under the header "Sample Code".
The plugin can be tested using the Enterprise version of Corona SDK by linking the static library (iOS) or through including the library in your project's libs directory (Android). After initial testing with Enterprise, you will need to submit the binaries to Corona Labs to test with the Pro version of Corona SDK.


This article was written in 2017 during my time at SVDS. The article was first published on the SVDS Blog.
In the introductory post, we walked through some examples of how SVDS has seen data capabilities determine the success of customer journey initiatives for our clients. In this post, we offer guidance on the data-related initiatives that you can start today to begin fostering closer ties with your customers—regardless of where you currently are in your specific state of development.
Customer journeys allow for a holistic experience
A senior marketer’s ability to find and create valuable experiences for customers has grown dramatically in recent years. Beyond the traditional responsibilities of brand and creative management, senior marketers (such as CMOs, Brand Managers, and Product Marketing Managers) now use analytics to track customer interactions, measure the quality of engagement, and determine the effectiveness of an enormous range of different marketing tactics.
Marketers often map out a “customer journey” in order to manage successful engagements. The customer journey is the complete sum of experiences that your customers go through when interacting with your company and brand—mapping out these interactions gives you a holistic view of how customers engage with your company. While many marketers focus on developing positive interactions, a customer journey is a plan that focuses on how a series of engagements can generate momentum from awareness, to sale, to ongoing loyalty and advocacy.
Creating customer journey opportunities with data
At SVDS, we have seen leaders use data to drive more useful customer engagements—first and foremost by recognizing their need to embrace change. There is a big shift taking place, and that shift will become the new normal.
You should be trying to learn quickly, and fail fast. Companies that are able make the best use of their data and infrastructure earlier than their competition are at an advantage—both with regard to increased customer loyalty and improvements in new product development.
In a November 2015 Harvard Business Review article on the customer journey, the authors stated that, “Best practitioners aim not just to improve the existing journey but to expand it, adding useful steps or features.” As mentioned in the examples earlier in this post, we have seen the same trend: clients who can harness their data to create effective customer experiences often make further investments toward developing their capabilities.
There are data-related initiatives that you can begin pursuing today to develop stronger relationships with your customers. Make an honest assessment of where you stand now, and find yourself in the sections below.
If you are starting from scratch:
- Common Challenges
- Redefining decision-making based on insights
- Identifying single points of ownership
- Common Solutions
- Focus on top-down buy-in. Without recognition from leadership, data initiatives will struggle to get relevance with business users and may be piecemeal efforts, diminishing the value of investment.
If you are performing early project identification:
- Common Challenges
- Mapping out customer journey initiatives
- Identifying single points of ownership
- Common Solutions
- Get alignment on the full picture. It is important to be able to articulate the “full view” of the customer experience as it has a large effect on decision making. For example, only tracking successful interactions would lead to very different conclusions than understanding users that “turn away.”
- Plan for iteration. It often takes time to understand where your map does and does not match your customers’ realities.
- Start small. Change can be incremental—look for low-hanging fruit.
If you are establishing customer visibility:
- Common Challenges
- Data integration
- Common Solutions
- Prioritize data collection in tandem with journey mapping. In instrumentation, it is important to know what behaviors you can collect directly from customers and what behaviors you have to infer based on their actions. This influences what additional data sources you include to support decisions you make for the business.
- Seek to reuse and extend data services. Developing known, validated, and consistent data assets for your business increases their utility and dramatically improves trust in the developed insights across the organization.
If you are optimizing for growth:
- Common Challenges
- Personalization and automation
- Common Solutions
- Enable advanced analytics. Optimize for automation to create feedback loops and self-learning capabilities that make it easy to identify and capitalize on growth opportunities.
What steps are you taking to strengthen your customer engagement strategies through better use of data?


Meet the bio-hackers who want to turbo-charge your body
by Jack ParrockBiohackers believe that we should be using all the technology available to make our bodies and minds work the best they can in everyday life. In Helsinki over the weekend they held a conference.
Most people who have heard of Biohacking think of electronic chips inserted under the skin - cyborg stuff. But here they're promoting a wearable ring to measure the body.
Ramsey Morgan, a Biohacker from Seattle, tested out a machine which steadily takes the body up to air conditions you'd expect at high altitude.=
"I feel amazing - mentally and cognitively - like a stoic. I wake up every morning feeling like the Hulk." he says.
The movement is trying to make itself more mainstream and accessible.
And while most of us probably don't get enough sleep, the Biohackers say vibration technology can help.
It is not all so technical - getting in a sauna and a 4 degree Celsius bath is enough for some Biohackers.
But with the ever-evolving technological world we live in - these guys think they're the future.
Watch the full report on Finland’s Bio-hackers from Euronews' Jack Parrock in the player above.

Application Procedure, Deadlines and Participant Selection
- The workshop can only accommodate up to 20 participants coming from Northwestern and Chicago Universities as well as other colleges and universities. Faculty as well as postdocs and graduate students may participate.
- Candidates wishing to participate in our workshop should fill the “PlantSEED Workshop Application Form” (PSWA form) accompanying this brochure, no later than the first of June and send it with to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>- Applicants will be selected in a first-arrive, first-served basis as well as their qualifications descriptions in order not to exceed 20 subscriptions. Accepted participants will receive an acceptance email as well as a set of instructions about registration, choosing a plant genome and loading it in PlantSEED. Also a detailed workshop/travel general guide will be supplied.
-
If you work outside the Chicago area, it is very important to apply as soon as possible, so you can make your hotel and airplane reservations in a timely manner, that is, as soon as you are approved to register. Remember the workshop is free of charge.
Travel Expense Refunds
- Up to $1,000 for travel, food and lodging expenses will be awarded only to
three faculty members who work at a minority serving institution and are chosen by the panel. To qualify for funding, applicants need to fulfill the following requirements:
1) To be an American citizen or Permanent Resident of the USA.
2) To be a faculty member of a US College or University that is registered as Minority Serving Institution. If you are unsure about your college being this kind of institution go to: https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/edlite-minorityinst.html
- These refunds will be paid through the University of Florida, it takes some time to process the paperwork and it has to be completed at least
a month before the workshop starts. Hence the applications have to be processed with a great deal of anticipation. The information included in the PSWA form will allow our coordination panel to screen the applications to ensure that the three selected faculty of Minority Serving Institutions have the background needed to benefit most from the workshop.
If you have other questions regarding our workshop please contact Dr. Sam Seaver at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or Dr Claudia Lerma-Ortiz at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Grant Support
The PlantSEED resource was created with support by the National Science Foundation Grant IOS-1025398, by an endowment from the C. V. Griffin Sr. Foundation, and by the Office of Science, Office of Biological and Environmental Research, of the US Department of Energy (DOE) under Contract DE-ACO2-06CH11357, as part of the DOE Systems Biology Knowledgebase.
The National Science Foundation Grant IOS-1444202 has provided support for both the improvement of the PlantSEED resource and the production of new modeling tools within ModelSEED to be able to annotate plant genomes using the PlantSEED platform and develop plant metabolism models. This grant also supports the implementation of four PlantSEED metabolic modeling workshops to train faculty, post-doctoral fellows and graduate students of American universities (with an emphasis on recruitment of faculty from minority serving institutions) in the use of these novel computational tools.
