Speaker(s): Reza Rad,
Abstract:
High Availability and Disaster Recovery have been an enterprise requirement since SQL Server was first released. In this full day session I will take you through current options to design and implement HA/DR solutions meeting the ever increasing demands of corporate environments. The content will look at what is currently available to us to use in an On-premises, Cloud, or Hybrid environments, specifically outlining the exciting new features that make it compelling to migrate immediately to SQL Server 2016. I will cover the following topics across 3 modules for the day: • Define and characterize HA/DR and the options provided by SQL Server • Design an appropriate HA/DR solution to meet requirements for either an On-premises, Cloud, or Hybrid environments • Examine multiple technologies / features together to satisfy complex requirements and their implementation in complex environments
Speaker(s): Warwick Rudd,
Abstract:
Cortana Analytics delivers an end-to-end platform with an integrated and comprehensive set of tools and services to help users to build intelligent applications. This session will show how Cortana can be used for monitoring live data collected from devices like weather sensors and how we can use Cortana intelligence suit to monitor the live data and apply some machine learning process on them. In this Demo I will show how to set up an IoT device like Raspberry PI, how to use different components of Cortana Intelligence suite for transferring data (Azure service bus and azure stream analytics), storing data in a azure SQL database, getting insights from collected data using azure ML, and finally showing the results through automatically in Power BI.
Speaker(s): Leila Etaati,
Abstract:
Kevin will be talking on the topic of SQL injection - something that all of us need to be aware of and protect against. And here is a blurb from: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Top_10_2013-A1-Injection " The best way to find out if an application is vulnerable to injection is to verify that all use of interpreters clearly separates untrusted data from the command or query. For SQL calls, this means using bind variables in all prepared statements and stored procedures, and avoiding dynamic queries. Checking the code is a fast and accurate way to see if the application uses interpreters safely. Code analysis tools can help a security analyst find the use of interpreters and trace the data flow through the application. Penetration testers can validate these issues by crafting exploits that confirm the vulnerability." Kevin will give us a demo that will show an injection attack in action and how to mitigate it.
Speaker(s): Kevin Alcock,
Abstract:
You may have heard the word "DevOps" and wondered whether it is just another buzzword and/or what it can do for you. In this session I will demystify the concepts of DevOps and we will look at two aspects of DevOps - Continuous Integration Continuous Delivery. Continuous Integration is the practice in which software developers frequently integrate their work with that of other members of the development team.It also involves automating tests around the integrated work Continuous Delivery is the next step after Continuous Integration in the deployment pipeline and is the process of automating the deployment of software to test, staging, and production environments. Database migrations/changes are an area that may not be typically automated or utilise Continuous Delivery. Through the use of a comprehensive live demo to a running production database the audience will learn the benefits and how to implement Continuous Delivery in their database systems deployment pipeline.
Speaker(s): Hamish Watson,
Abstract:
If you do not test your recovery plan you are unknowingly running a Schrödinger’s backup experiment, as your backup can be thought of as both being a good backup and being a bad backup. Until you attempt a restore the condition of any Backup is unknown. While Schrödinger’s cat was a thought experiment that may have injured an imaginary feline, a failure to be able to recover databases when required can prove terminal to both careers and Companies. In this session Patrick will walk you through how to design, create and test Recovery strategies. Using T-SQL and PowerShell you will leave with the tools necessary to avoid you own failed Schroedinger’s Backup experiment.
Speaker(s): Patrick Flynn,
Abstract:
Cardinality estimator, providing row estimates plays a pivotal role in obtaining efficient query plans. Cardinality estimator, which had remained unchanged since SQL 7.0, was revamped in SQL Server 2014 and was further changed in SQL Server 2016. Presentation will compare the differences between old cardinality estimator (CE 70), cardinality estimator 2014 (CE 120) and cardinality estimator 2016 (CE 130). The presentation will showcase several common real world scenarios which would directly benefit from the latest cardinality estimator. Presentation would take a deep dive ride covering the behind the scene tales detailing how the new cardinality estimator performs row estimates, resulting in accurate query plans. Presentation would also explain how regression testing can be performed using SQL Server 2016 Query Store and will highlight the scenarios where one needs to strike a balance between old and new cardinality estimators.
Speaker(s): Nagaraj Venkatesan,
Abstract:
Power Query is a relatively new addition to Microsoft Excel that brings ETL to the self service BI user's desktop. In this level 200 session I cover the basics of Power Query and how it can be used for desktop BI before quickly moving on to demonstrate how you can use Power Query for more advanced scenarios that you may not have thought of before, including: • Use Power Query as a data provider for traditional Excel Pivot Tables without using Power Pivot. • Building a Power Pivot calendar table from scratch using pure Power Query steps. • Add commentary to bank statements and make those comments "stick" using self-referencing tables. • Using Power Query as an auditing and exception management • Using Power Query as a pure ETL tool and exporting more than 1 m rows of transformed data to a file.
Speaker(s): Matt Allington,
Abstract:
SQL Server is at the heart of all on-premises SharePoint implementations. In this session I cover SharePoint database architecture, best practices for implementation, backup and recovery processes and databases do's and don't.
Speaker(s): Steve Knutson,
Abstract:
Ask a statistician, or a data scientist, what it takes to become a serious machine learning (ML) practitioner and you will get a daunting list including in-depth knowledge of mathematics, statistics, machine learning theory and that elusive magic sauce. In this session, we will break down these stereotypes and argue that the essential skills are: a love of data, tenacity and a healthy dose of scepticism. We will build a prediction pipeline using AzureML and cover the essential elements of the machine learning workflow, from data preparation, prediction, evaluation and communication.
Speaker(s): Nick Burns,
Abstract:
Columnstore indexes were introduced in SQL 2012. They have the superpower to boost SQL server performance by flipping row based indexing to column based indexing.

Speaker(s): Craig Ryan,
Abstract:
Azure SQL DB promises low touch once you have deployed your database. However the reality is that to gain the maximum benefit and lowest cost, you still need to be proactive with monitoring and management of your database. This session will identify the main aspects of the Azure SQL DBA role, including how to ensure you have longer term backups (if you need them for compliance), how to manage your Tier level automatically, how to ensure you have the best performance to keep your DTUs to a minimum. You will leave this session with a better story for your manager to convince him to move your workload to Azure and lower your total SQL Server costs.
Speaker(s): Martin Cairney,
Abstract:
With the release of SQL Server 2016, a true shift achieving and implementing High Availability and Disaster Recovery has come about. Database Mirroring has been the only option available to meet certain requirements. SQL Server 2016 now changes the game and in this session Warwick will introduce you to the replacement for DBM taking you through what there is, what it gives you and how you can move from DBM to AGs.
Speaker(s): Warwick Rudd,
Abstract:
Developing a simple SSIS package is - mostly - relatively straight forward, however knowing some of the finer details about the engine can save time and lots of frustration. Come along to this session and learn some tips and tricks that have been gained over many years. Having additional knowledge and design patterns in your SSIS tool belt can be the difference between a very average package and one you, your manager, your team and your clients can be really happy and proud of.
Speaker(s): Martin Catherall,
Abstract:
The DBA just resigned and now the job falls to you. What do you do? The role of the DBA is never static or easy to define. It means different things to different businesses and can include development, maintenance, performance tuning, project management, system architecture, data mining and reporting. But at it's core a DBA works with, and takes responsibility for an organisations data. In this talk we'll go over the core things that should be implemented on all database servers, how you can quickly tame your SQL environment and stay in control.

16th European Finite Element Fair 2018
June 8 - 9, 2018, Mathematikon, Heidelberg
The 16th European Finite Element Fair will be held at Heidelberg University. It will be hosted in the new Mathematikon building on the science campus Im Neuenheimer Feld.
The conference will begin June 8th at 14:00 (on-site registration opening at 12:30) and end June 9th in the afternoon.
Registration
In order to help with preparations, we would like to ask participants to register in advance by email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>with subject EFEF 2018 Registration. Please indicate in your email whether you plan to
- give a presentation,
- participate in the conference dinner.
Please, register for participation and dinner by April 8th, 2018, even if you are not sure about giving a talk
Please follow the link for accommodation above to learn about hotel options.
Local Organizers
The EFEF Meetings
The European Finite Element Fair (EFEF) is an annual series of completely informal small workshops throughout Europe with equal initial conditions for each speaker. EFEF provides a platform for high-level discussions on current research on finite element approximation, in the broadest sense, of partial differential equations. Authors are encouraged to present one new idea rather than review a full research project. In this spirit, the communication of recent and new results, even not yet published, is very welcome. A few, but strict, rules apply to EFEF in order to distinguish it from existing workshops and minisymposia in the field.
Format of the Meeting
- Speakers at EFEF are volunteers from the audience. Provided that they are present throughout the meeting, all participants are invited to talk. Potential participants are strongly encouraged to attend at least one meeting before volunteering to speak.
- Based on the number of speakers the time available will be divided into slots for the talks. The order of the speakers will be determined through random choice, by drawing names out of a hat. Speakers cannot request a specific time to talk.
- The Presentations. Bring your presentation as a pdf-file on a USB-stick. That will make life/technical support much more relaxed and easier during the conference.
- Each speaker should introduce himself or herself, the title and topic, and is expected to leave sufficient time, within the allocated time-slot, for discussion. Speakers have to prepare a talk that can be trimmed to various lengths (from seconds to 20 minutes). For a smooth meeting, the time table will be strictly enforced.
- The Book. Since EFEF 2005, a book has been available (in the Oberwolfach tradition) to record new analytical and numerical results presented during EFEF. Results can be hand-written or typeset and glued into the book.

Let's move this into the bottom slot
Hello from the parent!
Let's move this into the top slot


There are very few
GenDocumentClass
attributes that you will need to be concerned with. The GenDocumentGroup object creates and updates document objects as needed. Ordinarily, the application will not look at the
GenDocumentClass
instance data. If the program defines a subclass of
GenDocumentClass
, the subclass's methods should use only the subclass's instance data.
There is only one attribute which the program should change at run-time, and that is the GDA_PREVENT_AUTO_SAVE bit of the
GDI_attrs
field. This bit can be changed with the messages
MSG_GEN_DOCUMENT_DISABLE_AUTO_SAVE
and
MSG_GEN_DOCUMENT_ENABLE_AUTO_SAVE
.
GenDocumentClass
is a subclass of
GenContentClass
and has all the functionality of that class. Since GenContent objects are rarely used directly, the class does not have its own chapter; instead, it is documented in GenContentClass
. The main thing to know about the GenContent is that, like a VisContent, it is displayed in a GenView and can have visible children. It can also have generic children, though it may not have both visible and generic children at the same time.
GDI_attrs, MSG_GEN_DOCUMENT_GET_ATTRS, MSG_GEN_DOCUMENT_ENABLE_AUTO_SAVE, MSG_GEN_DOCUMENT_DISABLE_AUTO_SAVE, MSG_GEN_DOCUMENT_AUTO_SAVE
The
GDI_attrs
word contains flags indicating the status of the document. The application can read or change any of these attributes; however, only the attribute GDA_PREVENT_AUTO_SAVE should actually be changed at run-time.
GenDocumentAttrs MSG_GEN_DOCUMENT_GET_ATTRS();
Use this message to get the
GDI_attrs
flags for a given document. These attribute flags give information about the document's permissions as well as about any operations currently in progress.
Source: Unrestricted--objects subclassed from
GenDocumentClass
often send this message to themselves.
Destination: Any GenDocument object.
Return: The object's word-sized GDI_attrs field.
Interception: You should not subclass this message.
void MSG_GEN_DOCUMENT_DISABLE_AUTO_SAVE();
Sometimes an application needs to temporarily disable auto-save for a specific document (for example, if it is in the middle of making elaborate changes to the file). It can do this by sending this message to the document object. The document's GDA_PREVENT_AUTO_SAVE bit will be turned on, and auto-save will be disabled until the document receives a
MSG_GEN_DOCUMENT_ENABLE_AUTO_SAVE
.
Source: Unrestricted--objects subclassed from
GenDocumentClass
often send this message to themselves.
Destination: Any GenDocument object.
Interception: You should not subclass this message.
void MSG_GEN_DOCUMENT_ENABLE_AUTO_SAVE();
This message turns off a document's GDA_PREVENT_AUTO_SAVE bit. If the bit is already off (i.e., auto-save is enabled), the message has no effect.
Source: Unrestricted--objects subclassed from
GenDocumentClass
often send this message to themselves.
Destination: Any GenDocument object.
Interception: You should not subclass this message.
void MSG_GEN_DOCUMENT_AUTO_SAVE();
This message forces the document object to immediately auto-save its file.
Source: Unrestricted. The document object may send this message to itself.
Destination: Any GenDocument object.
Interception: This message is not generally subclassed.
GDI_operation, MSG_GEN_DOCUMENT_GET_OPERATION
A single user action can result in many routines being called and many messages being sent out. To help keep track of what's going on,
GenDocumentClass
has a byte-length field,
GDI_operation
. If the document control is in the midst of handling a user action for a given document, it will set the
GDI_operation
byte accordingly. The current operation is a member of the
GenDocumentOperation
enumerated type. This type has the following possible values:
GDI_operation
field is set to this after GEOS has opened the file, and it remains at this setting until the application finishes attaching the UI.
GDI_operation
will change to
GDO_ATTACH
.

byte is set to this value until the document object is destroyed.GenDocumentOperation MSG_GEN_DOCUMENT_GET_OPERATION();
Use this message to find out what user action a given document object is in the midst of processing. This is useful if you are handling some message and want to find out the context in which that message was sent. Note that although the message returns a word-length value, the
GDI_operation
enumerated type is byte-length; it is thus safe to cast the return value to a byte-length variable.
Source: Unrestricted--objects subclassed from
GenDocumentClass
often send this message to themselves.
Destination: Any GenDocument object.
Return: Returns a member of the
GenDocumentOperation
enumerated type corresponding to the document object's current operation.
Interception: You should not subclass this message.
GDI_fileHandle, GDI_diskHandle, GDI_volumeName, GDI_fileName, MSG_GEN_DOCUMENT_GET_FILE_NAME, MSG_GEN_DOCUMENT_GET_FILE_HANDLE
The document object stores certain data about the file associated with it. In particular, the instance data records the document's path, its full file name, and the handles of the file and the disk volume containing the file. This data can be retrieved by sending messages to the document object.
void MSG_GEN_DOCUMENT_GET_FILE_NAME( char *buffer); /* Address to write file name to */
This message instructs a GenDocument to write the name of its file (without the path) to the specified address.
Source: Unrestricted--objects subclassed from
GenDocumentClass
often send this message to themselves.
Destination: Any GenDocument object
Parameters: buffer Buffer of length FILE_LONGNAME_BUFFER_SIZE.
Return: Writes file's virtual name into the passed buffer as a null-terminated string.
Warnings: Make sure the buffer passed is of length FILE_LONGNAME_BUFFER_SIZE; otherwise the method might overwrite other data.
Interception: You should not subclass this message.
FileHandle MSG_GEN_DOCUMENT_GET_FILE_HANDLE();
This message returns the handle of the file associated with a given GenDocument object.

Destination: Any GenDocument object.
Return: Returns handle of file associated with that document object.
Interception: You should not subclass this message.
The GenContent generic object is similar to the VisContent visible object in that it interacts directly with the GenView. While the VisContent allows an application to display a visible hierarchy of objects within the view, however, the GenContent allows either generic or visible object hierarchies to be displayed. This is the one case where you may ordinarily have visible objects be children of a generic object. Note that you should not have both visible and generic objects as children of the same GenContent; if you do so, results are undefined.
Any GenView whose content is a GenContent (or subclass) should have its GVA_GENERIC_CONTENTS attribute set.
GenContentClass
is a subclass of
GenClass
and therefore inherits all the instance data, messages, and hints of all generic objects. The GenContent also has two other instance data fields, however; these are
@instance byte GCI_attrs = 0; @instance optr GCI_genView;
The
GCI_attrs
field contains a record of
VisContentAttrs
and is used by document objects for visual updates and interaction with the GenView. This record may be retrieved with
MSG_GEN_CONTENT_GET_ATTRS
or set with
MSG_GEN_CONTENT_SET_ATTRS
.
The
GCI_genView
field contains the optr of the GenView object displaying the GenContent. This, too, is used by document objects to manage interaction with the GenView.
byte MSG_GEN_CONTENT_GET_ATTRS();
This message returns the record of
VisContentAttrs
set in the GenContent's
GCI_attrs
field.
Source: Unrestricted.
Destination: Any GenContent object
Parameters: None.
Return: The
GCI_attrs
settings.
Interception: Unlikely.
void MSG_GEN_CONTENT_SET_ATTRS( byte attrsToSet, byte attrsToClear);
This message sets the attributes in the GenContent's
GCI_attrs
record.
Source: Unrestricted.
Destination: Any GenContent object.
Parameters:
attrsToSet
A record of
VisContentAttrs
indicating which flags should be set. Those set in
attrsToSet
will be set in
GCI_attrs
.
VisContentAttrs
indicating which flags should be cleared. Those cleared in
attrsToClear
will be cleared in
GCI_attrs
. Note that if a flag is set in both parameters, it will end up cleared.Return: Nothing.
Interception: Unlikely.

About
Events
We host numerous game dev related events like game jams and workshops. We host at least one 24+ hour game jam per semester, numerous smaller 2-6 hour "game dashes", and hold weekly meetings, workshops, and labs.  A theme is announced at the beginning of the event and then participants have 24 - 48 hours to make a playable prototype of a game that fits the theme.  Game dashes are just game jams but on a smaller scale, allowing members who cant commit to lengthy game jams to have the game jam experience as well. Completed games from game jams will be hosted in the game jam section of our Games page.Weekly Meetings
We hold a meeting every week on Thursday in CSIC TBD. The first 10-20 minutes of each meeting are dedicated to showing game demos and talking about industry news. The rest of the meeting will be a group discussion/activity about our club projects or a directed discussion/presentation about some game design concept or game dev tool. These meeting are often very low key and casual and are more social gathering that give members a chance to hang out and talk about game dev stuff.
Workshops
Officers of the club will host workshops dedicated to teaching and developing game dev skills. Workshops are themed events where one Officer presents and gives a tutorial that shows members how to use a particular game dev tool or concept, and then walks them through how to actually implement it in a sample project. Workshops will be similar to Computer Science discussions where the officer acts as a TA. Workshops are hosted once every week or two and will be on the event calender and announced at meetings and on the facebook page.

U.S.'s Pompeo says Iran's latest nuclear steps raise concern
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Iran’s recent “nuclear escalations” raise concerns that should move all countries to increase pressure on Tehran, U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pomeo said on Thursday, as Iran resumed uranium enrichment at one of its nuclear facilities.
“Iran’s expansion of proliferation-sensitive activities raises concerns that Iran is positioning itself to have the option of a rapid nuclear breakout,” Pompeo said in a statement.
“It is now time for all nations to reject this regime’s nuclear extortion and take serious steps to increase pressure. Iran’s continued and numerous nuclear provocations demand such action.”

Let’s start with the main import:
>>> from mcerp import * # N, U, Gamma, Beta, correlate, etc.
Now, we can construct many kinds of statistical distributions (both continuous and discrete). Here’s a basic example that involves a three-part assembly:
>>> x1 = N(24, 1) # normally distributed
>>> x2 = N(37, 4)
>>> x3 = Exp(2) # exponentially distributed
The first four moments can be accessed at any time:
>>> x1.mean
24.000015983319528
>>> x1.var
1.0001064993938098
>>> x1.skew
0.00053245280109193898
>>> x1.kurt
3.0017697746273813
>>> x1.stats # this returns all four as a list
Now we’ll compute the actual stack-up using normal mathematics and see what happens:
>>> Z = (x1*x2**2)/(15*(1.5 + x3))
We can see how the statistics of each of these distributions propagated through the calculations in two basic ways:
Telling python to print the object:
>>> Z # Explicit "print" command not necessary at the command-line

Florida man charged with performing home dentistry without a license
by WFTX Digital TeamPASCO COUNTY, Fla. -- A Wesley Chapel man is facing several charges after an undercover detective says the man was doing home dental work without being a licensed dentist.
According to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office, 33-year-old Jose Mas Fernandez offered to do dental work in his house to an undercover agent.
The agent says Mas Fernandez offered a tooth extraction and antibiotics for $150, and additional numbing medication for $20.
The agent went to the home and found the type of equipment found in professional dental offices.
Mas Fernandez admitted to offering services from his home, and confirmed he was not licensed to do so.
He is charged with practicing dentistry without a license, possession of dental equipment, and possession of prescription drugs with intent to sell.

Greggs encourage people to 'eat healthier' by buying ring doughnuts not jam ones
The high street bakery chain has pledged to help fight obesity by encouraging their customers to buy a lower calorie ring doughnut instead of one filled with jam
by Courtney Pochin, https://www.facebook.com/courtneypochinmirror/?modal=admin_todo_tourWhen you think of healthy eating and dieting, doughnuts might not be the first type of food that spring to mind.
But Greggs have pledged to join the fight against obesity and it seems one way in which the bakery chain is going to do this is by encouraging customers to eat different types of doughnuts.
According to The Sunday Times, the company plans to change shop displays, to guide people towards ring doughnuts instead of jam ones.

Speaking at a recent childhood obesity conference in London, Roger Whiteside, chief executive of Greggs, reportedly told the audience that ring doughnuts "take some of the calories out".
He explained: "Ring doughnuts are between 200 and 300 calories, the ball doughnuts are between 300 and 400 calories".
He added: "People like big cakes, not little cakes... we know that we shouldn't be encouraging people to eat large cakes... but the problem is you have to go with demand."
Broken down into numbers, a Greggs jam doughnut contains 245 calories, 12 grams of sugar and 10 grams of fat.
In comparison the glazed ring doughnut from Greggs has 191 calories, 12 grams of sugar and 6.4 grams of fat.
Worse than both of these is the triple chocolate doughnut, which contains 341 calories, an eye-watering 29 grams of sugar as well as 15 grams of fat.
Similarly the cream finger doughnut has the highest fat content with 22 grams of fat, 335 calories and 8.1 grams of sugar.
As well as encouraging customers to go for lower calorie doughnuts, Greggs also agreed to do several other things in response to the government's childhood obesity strategy.
This includes offering healthy alternatives to cakes and pastries, such as salads and fruit.
A spokeswoman for Greggs said the company is "serious about customer health" and that the lower calorie items were not intended as "diet products" but simply offered customers a wider choice.
She added: "Greggs has also reduced sugar by 20 percent across its sweet range."

BLOODY CHILD, THE (director/writer/cinematographer: Nina Menkes; screenwriter: Tinka Menkes; editors: Nina and Tina Menkes; cast: Tinka Menkes (Captain), Sherry Sibley (Murdered Wife), Robert Mueller (Murderer), Russ Little (Sergeant), Jack O'Hara (Enlisted Man); Runtime: 85; Mirage; 1996)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
An amazingly strange film, confusing and not thoroughly enjoyable, but a film I found more interesting than I thought possible at first viewing. This experimental film in minimalist story telling, a film consisting of disturbing visualizations and almost no dialogue, had a concept that was greater than how the film turned out. It felt at times like I was watching paint dry on the wall, but the reward for sitting through those excruciatingly redundant scenes, was in seeing something different, something that cast a spell of sorcery over a terrible incident, as I believe the film in its unique and sometimes shrill voice does justice in commenting on the violence in American society, especially against women. The film uses its impressions of the Marine base as a metaphor for the social violence in today's American society, and to give it its startling look of reality, marines were used as the actors. It was filmed at Twenty-Nine Palms, Calif., the largest Marine base in the country, which is located in the Mojave Desert.
The plot is simple. It is about a real incident that happened to a U.S. Marine returning from the Persian Gulf War who murdered his wife and was caught at sunrise digging her grave in the Mojave Desert by a military patrol. The film tells its story by showing the military police by the murder site making small talk while awaiting for the arrest to be completed and the marines off base relaxing in a country-and-western lounge, as some marines lewdly dance in front of some female patrons. The film's boredom is broken up by camera shots of marines in conversations that we can't hear in its entirety but are treated to little snippets of, hearing mostly their curse words. The captain in charge of the arrest is Tinka Menkes, the director's sister. She tries to get the male marines to take this incident seriously and act professional, as they treat her as an outsider but with proper military respect. Because the film had no linear story and followed no chronological order, and it stressed the mundaneness of life on the base and did not film its story in the usual way a murder investigation is filmed, it appeared surreal.
For whatever reason, Nina Menkes (The Great Sadness of Zohara (1984)/ Magdalena Viraga (1987)/Queen of Diamonds (1991)), a director I am not familiar with, has chosen to put parts of "Macbeth" into the film (the disembodied voice of the murdered wife is heard at times as the voice of a violated spirit), along with scenes from northeast Africa (Tinka is sitting naked in the forest clearing, writing unreadable words on her arm). There is also a riderless black horse going on the base, and the film ends on a quote from the Book of Genesis, about Lot's wife turned into a pillar of salt when she looked back. I thought these additions seemed to serve mostly as unneeded arty pretext.
The arrested marine is not seen in total, but is viewed from side glances of him in the same car as his bloodied dead wife.  The film tells nothing about the why and how of the murder, but touches on the reality of life on the Marine base, making it seem like a wasteland inhabited only by those sent to purgatory. The unsettling milieu in which the crime took place, speaks volumes about why the murder might have taken place.
The film seems to be telling us that it's up to us to make sense of what we've seen. Though the film was dull and did not move me while I was watching it, it did something to me afterwards intellectually, it made me think of a military base, the Persian Gulf War, and of marital abuse, but it made me think of them without the usual concepts I bring to my thinking cap. Does that make this a great film? No. But it makes it an interesting one, a film that I can't easily dismiss. Its filming of the arrest is so chilling and memorable because what is so dull and ordinary about the crime scene, is the understated reason for the origin of the violence, contrary to the way Hollywood films portray violence. Here it is a part of the landscape that one regularly sees but, perhaps, one doesn't really understand or want to understand what evil society has created.

The maxlength
attribute defines the maximum number of characters (as UTF-16
code units) the user can enter into an <input> or <textarea>. This must be an integer value 0 or
higher. If no maxlength is specified, or an invalid value is specified, the input or
textarea has no maximum length.
Any maxlength value must be greater than or equal to the value of
minlength,
if present and
valid.
The input will fail constraint validation if the length of the text value of the field is greater
than
maxlength UTF-16 code units long. Constraint validation is only applied when the value is
changed by the user.
Constraint validation
While the browser will generally prevent user from entering more text than the maxlength
attribute
allows, should the length be longer than the maxlength allows, the read-only tooLong property of a
ValidityState object
will be true.
Example:
<input type="password" maxlength="4"/>


LOCK
Restricts access to a database table. This command is only meaningful when it is run inside a transaction block.
The LOCK command obtains a table-level lock in "ACCESS EXCLUSIVE" mode, waiting if necessary for any conflicting locks to be released. Explicitly locking a table in this way causes reads and writes on the table to wait when they are attempted from other transactions or sessions. An explicit table lock created by one user temporarily prevents another user from selecting data from that table or loading data into it. The lock is released when the transaction that contains the LOCK command completes.
Less restrictive table locks are acquired implicitly by commands that refer to tables, such as write operations. For example, if a user tries to read data from a table while another user is updating the table, the data that is read will be a snapshot of the data that has already been committed. (In some cases, queries will abort if they violate serializable isolation rules.) See Managing Concurrent Write Operations.
Some DDL operations, such as DROP TABLE and TRUNCATE, create exclusive locks. These operations prevent data reads.
If a lock conflict occurs, Amazon Redshift displays an error message to alert the user who started the transaction in conflict. The transaction that received the lock conflict is aborted. Every time a lock conflict occurs, Amazon Redshift writes an entry to the STL_TR_CONFLICT table.
Syntax
LOCK [ TABLE ] table_name [, ...]
Parameters
- TABLE
-
Optional keyword.
- table_name
-
Name of the table to lock. You can lock more than one table by using a comma-delimited list of table names. You can't lock views.

To implement this challenge, we'll be using Command's events system to control the EMCON of the recon aircraft. The scene file already contains the skeleton of what's needed for Lua use.
LuaSideB has already placed the aircraft (BHawk) and the mission (AAnalysis). We'll be configuring BHawk to fly AAnalysis.
SetEMCON
To make this scene work, we'll need to use the SetEMCON function. This function does what it says on the tin: explains to one of the Luaians what kind of EMCON to use, be it Radar, Sonar, or OECM.
The function's syntax is quite complex. The signature is
ScenEdit_SetEMCON(['Side' / 'Mission' / 'Group' / 'Unit'], ['Side Name or ID' / 'Mission Name or ID' / 'Group Name or ID' / 'Unit Name or ID'], ['Radar/Sonar/OECM=Active/Passive;' / 'Inherit'])
For instance, to turn on an BHawk's OECM, you would write
ScenEdit_SetEMCON('Unit','BHawk','OECM=Active')
Therefore, we need to do
ScenEdit_SetEMCON('Unit','BHawk','Radar=Active')
Events
We need to add Lua to the event framework that's already in the game. We'll add a new action of the type "Lua Action", as seen here:
Then, we get

You can now import the Relations CSV files along with the AD objects into your Neo4j graph database. This step can be done fully offline. Use the ADCP module:
Import-Module .\ADCP
$instance = Import-ADCPDump
-inputDir <input directory>
-domainDnsName <domain FQDN>
# Launch Neo4J
$instance | Start-ADCPInstance
To perform these step manually (or in Linux):
0. Stop the Neo4j server if it is started:
.\bin\neo4j stop
Import CSV files in a new graph database adcp.db:
Set an environment variable to the dump folder for convenience:
$env:DUMP = "PATH_TO\yyyymmdd_domainfqdn\"
In neo4j folder (you can copy/paste this):
.\bin\neo4j-import --into data/databases/adcp.db --id-type string `
--nodes $env:DUMP\Ldap\all_nodes.csv `
--relationships $((dir $env:DUMP\relations\*.csv -exclude *.deny.csv) -join ',') `
--input-encoding UTF-16LE --multiline-fields=true --legacy-style-quoting=false
Headers-related errors will be raised and can be ignored. It is still a good idea to have a look at the bad.log file.
Restart the Neo4j server if it is stopped:
.\bin\neo4j start
Note: All the previous steps (2, 3, 4) can be piped in Powershell:
Import-Module .\ADCP
Get-ADCPDump
-outputDir <output directory>

MaterialColors
MaterialColors is a swift package for quickly implementing colors from Material Design in your applications. It supports UIKit, AppKit, and SwiftUI, as well as platform light and dark user interface styles
Setup
MaterialColors
uses the The Swift Package Manager for distrubition. For now, this is the only supported method of installation, but others will be added soon.
Add MaterialColors
to your Package.swift
file like so:
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/vsanthanam/MaterialColors-Swift.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "0.0.0"))
]
Usage
UIKit
import MaterialColors
import UIKit
let view = UIView()
view.backgroundColor = .material(.red400)
import MaterialColors
import UIKit
let dynamicView = UIView()
view.backgroundColor = .material(light: .grey50, dark: .grey400)
AppKit
import AppKit
import MaterialColors
let view = NSView()
view.backgroundColor = .material(.green50)
CoreGraphics
import CoreGraphics
import MaterialColors
import UIKit
let view = UIView()
view.layer.background = .material(.purple300)
import AppKit
import CoreGraphics
import MaterialColors
let view = NSView()
view.layer.background = .material(.orange200)
SwiftUI
import MaterialColors
import SwiftUI
struct MyView: View {
var body: some View {
Rectangle()
.foregroundColor(.material(.deepPurple400))
}
}
Strings
You can also create material colors from strings and string literals. This can be useful if you are parsing some value from an http response:
import MaterialColors
import UIKit
let uicolor: UIColor = .material("red400")
let string = "red400"
let color = MaterialColor(string)
let nscolor: NSColor = .material(color)
Converting Backwards
You can also determine whether a given color is one of the standard material design colors, and if so, which one it is:
import MaterialColors
import UIKit
import XCTest
let materialColor: UIColor = .material(.red400)
let nonMaterialColor = UIColor.blue
XCTAssertNil(nonMaterialColor.asMaterialColor)
XCTAssertEqual(materialColor.asMaterialColor, .red400)

A Summary
Over these last 10 weeks I have delved into Usability, Accessibility, Analytics, and more. The sheer amount I have learned and discussed here has brought the value of these subjects to light for me. Each one will help me become a better developer as I progress down this path.
To wrap things up let’s look at how well I met my testing goals. To restate things once more:
- The goal was for users to rate week 2 with my thumbs up button
- Driving users to that specific page was a secondary goal
- The alternate home page advertised week 2 to push people towards it
In my opinion I was successful. Users made it to week 2 more than any other page including the home page! They also voted on week 2 the most by far with a strong runner up being week 4 which was also one of my favorite articles. The alt home page also drove more users to week 2 than the normal home page as discussed in the week 9 analysis. All of this would infer that I by in large accomplished what I set out to do.
Hindsight is 20/20
All the steps I took helped but I think that the home page change was the most beneficial. While word of mouth worked well for getting people to my site at first it is far more limited than the more subconscious signals from a banner. If I were to do things again I would focus on creating more road signs to direct my userbase as that paid off far better than the other options.
I feel as all of this experimentation has helped me understand why big corporations put so much effort into market research. Being able to see how your users use your site can help identify weak spots or strong features. Accessibility can bring more users to the site and prevent a lawsuit. Analytics allows us to see if things are working as intended and track our progress as we change. This is a lot of data to handle but is non intrusive to any party involved. As long as someone isn’t trying to be malicious with these data sets then everything should be fine.
I hope that by reading through these experiments you have learned just as much as I have. I will try to Implement some of the changes mentioned here before the next entry. Until then keep learning.

The central element in the evaluator is the sequence of instructions beginning at eval_dispatch. This corresponds to the evaluate function of the metacircular evaluator described in section \ref{sec:core-of-evaluator}. When the controller starts at eval_dispatch, it evaluates the expression specified by exp in the environment specified by env. When evaluation is complete, the controller will go to the entry point stored in continue, and the val register will hold the value of the expression. As with the metacircular eval, the structure of eval_dispatch is a case analysis on the syntactic type of the expression to be evaluated.[1]
"eval_dispatch", test(op("is_self_evaluating"), reg("exp")), branch(label("ev_self_eval")), test(op("is_variable"), reg("exp")), branch(label("ev_variable")), test(op("is_quoted"), reg("exp")), branch(label("ev_quoted")), /// FIXME test(op("is_assignment"), reg("exp")), branch(label("ev_assignment")), test(op("is_definition"), reg("exp")), branch(label("ev_definition")), test(op("is_conditional_statement"), reg("exp")), branch(label("ev_if")), test(op("is_function_expression"), reg("exp")), branch(label("ev_lambda")), test(op("is_block"), reg("exp")), branch(label("ev_begin")), test(op("is_application"), reg("exp")), branch(label("ev_application")), go_to(label("unknown_expression_type")),
Numbers and strings (which are self-evaluating), variables, quotations, and function definition expressions have no subexpressions to be evaluated. For these, the evaluator simply places the correct value in the val register and continues execution at the entry point specified by continue. Evaluation of simple expressions is performed by the following controller code:
"ev_self_eval", assign("val", reg("exp")), go_to(reg("continue")), "ev_variable", assign("val", op("lookup_variable_value"), reg("exp"), reg("env")), go_to(reg("continue")), "ev_quoted", assign("val", op("text_of_quotation"), reg("exp")), go_to(reg("continue")), "ev_lambda", assign("unev", op("lambda_parameters"), reg("exp")), assign("exp", op("lambda_body"), reg("exp")), assign("val", op("make_procedure"), reg("unev"), reg("exp"), reg("env")), go_to(reg("continue")),
Observe how ev_lambda uses the unev and exp registers to hold the parameters and body of the lambda expression so that they can be passed to the make_procedure operation, along with the environment in env.
A function application is specified by a combination containing an operator and operands. The operator is a subexpression whose value is a function, and the operands are subexpressions whose values are the arguments to which the function should be applied. The metacircular eval handles applications by calling itself recursively to evaluate each element of the combination, and then passing the results to apply, which performs the actual function application. The explicit-control evaluator does the same thing; these recursive calls are implemented by goto instructions, together with use of the stack to save registers that will be restored after the recursive call returns. Before each call we will be careful to identify which registers must be saved (because their values will be needed later).[2]
We begin the evaluation of an application by evaluating the operator to produce a function, which will later be applied to the evaluated operands. To evaluate the operator, we move it to the exp register and go to eval-dispatch. The environment in the env register is already the correct one in which to evaluate the operator. However, we save env because we will need it later to evaluate the operands. We also extract the operands into unev and save this on the stack. We set up continue so that eval-dispatch will resume at ev-appl-did-operator after the operator has been evaluated. First, however, we save the old value of continue, which tells the controller where to continue after the application.
"ev_application", save("continue"), save("env"), assign("unev", op("operands"), reg("exp")), save("unev"), assign("exp", op("operator"), reg("exp")), assign("continue", label("ev_appl_did_operator")), go_to(label("eval_dispatch")),
Upon returning from evaluating the operator subexpression, we proceed to evaluate the operands of the combination and to accumulate the resulting arguments in a list, held in argl. First we restore the unevaluated operands and the environment. We initialize argl to an empty list. Then we assign to the proc register the function that was produced by evaluating the operator. If there are no operands, we go directly to apply-dispatch. Otherwise we save proc on the stack and start the argument-evaluation loop:[3]
"ev_appl_did_operator", restore("unev"), // the operands restore("env"), assign("argl", op("empty_arglist")), assign("fun", reg("val")), // the operator test(op("has_no_operands"), reg("unev")), branch(label("apply_dispatch")), save("fun"),
Each cycle of the argument-evaluation loop evaluates an operand from the list in unev and accumulates the result into argl. To evaluate an operand, we place it in the exp register and go to eval_dispatch, after setting continue so that execution will resume with the argument-accumulation phase. But first we save the arguments accumulated so far (held in argl), the environment (held in env), and the remaining operands to be evaluated (held in unev). A special case is made for the evaluation of the last operand, which is handled at ev_appl_last_arg.
"ev_appl_operand_loop", save("argl"), assign("exp", (op("first_operand"), reg("unev")), test(op("is_last_operand"), reg("unev")), branch(label("ev_appl_last_arg")), save("env"), save("unev"), assign("continue", (label("ev_appl_accumulate_arg"))), go_to(label("eval_dispatch")),
When an operand has been evaluated, the value is accumulated into the list held in argl. The operand is then removed from the list of unevaluated operands in unev, and the argument-evaluation continues.
"ev_appl_accumulate_arg", restore("unev"), restore("env"), restore("argl"), assign("argl", op("adjoin_arg"), reg("val"), reg("argl")), assign("unev", op("rest_operands"), reg("unev")), go_to(label("ev_appl_operand_loop")),
Evaluation of the last argument is handled differently. There is no need to save the environment or the list of unevaluated operands before going to eval-dispatch, since they will not be required after the last operand is evaluated. Thus, we return from the evaluation to a special entry point ev-appl-accum-last-arg, which restores the argument list, accumulates the new argument, restores the saved function, and goes off to perform the application.[4]
"ev_appl_last_arg", assign("continue", label("ev_appl_accum_last_arg")), go_to(label("eval_dispatch")), "ev_appl_accum_last_arg", restore(argl), assign("argl", op("adjoin_arg"), reg("val"), reg("argl")), restore("fun"), go_to(label("apply_dispatch")),
The details of the argument-evaluation loop determine the order in which the interpreter evaluates the operands of a combination (e.g., left to right or right to left—see exercise \ref{ex:order-of-evaluation}). This order is not determined by the metacircular evaluator, which inherits its control structure from the underlying Scheme in which it is implemented.[5] Because the first\?operand selector (used in ev-appl-operand-loop to extract successive operands from unev) is implemented as head and the rest-operands selector is implemented as tail, the explicit-control evaluator will evaluate the operands of a combination in left-to-right order.
The entry point apply-dispatch corresponds to the apply function of the metacircular evaluator. By the time we get to apply-dispatch, the proc register contains the function to apply and argl contains the list of evaluated arguments to which it must be applied. The saved value of continue (originally passed to eval-dispatch and saved at ev-application), which tells where to return with the result of the function application, is on the stack. When the application is complete, the controller transfers to the entry point specified by the saved continue, with the result of the application in val. As with the metacircular apply, there are two cases to consider. Either the function to be applied is a primitive or it is a compound function.
"apply_dispatch", test(op("is_primitive_procedure"), reg("fun")), branch(label("primitive_apply")), test(op("is_compound_procedure"), reg("fun")), branch(label("compound_apply")), go_to(label("unknown_procedure_type")),
We assume that each primitive is implemented so as to obtain its arguments from argl and place its result in val. To specify how the machine handles primitives, we would have to provide a sequence of controller instructions to implement each primitive and arrange for primitive_apply to dispatch to the instructions for the primitive identified by the contents of fun. Since we are interested in the structure of the evaluation process rather than the details of the primitives, we will instead just use an apply-primitive-procedure operation that applies the function in proc to the arguments in argl. For the purpose of simulating the evaluator with the simulator of section \ref{sec:simulator} we use the function apply-primitive-procedure, which calls on the underlying Scheme system to perform the application, just as we did for the metacircular evaluator in section \ref{sec:running-eval}. After computing the value of the primitive application, we restore continue and go to the designated entry point.
"primitive_apply", assign("val", op("apply_primitive_procedure"), reg("fun"), reg("argl")), restore("continue"), go_to(reg("continue")),
To apply a compound function, we proceed just as with the metacircular evaluator. We construct a frame that binds the function's parameters to the arguments, use this frame to extend the environment carried by the function, and evaluate in this extended environment the sequence of expressions that forms the body of the function. Ev-sequence, described below in section \ref{sec:sequence-evaluation}, handles the evaluation of the sequence.
"compound_apply", assign("unev", op("procedure_parameters"), reg("fun")), assign("env", op("procedure_environment") reg("fun")), assign("env", op("extend_environment"), reg("unev"), reg("argl"), reg("env")), assign("unev", op("procedure_body"), reg("fun")), go_to(label("ev_sequence")),
Compound-apply is the only place in the interpreter where the env register is ever assigned a new value. Just as in the metacircular evaluator, the new environment is constructed from the environment carried by the function, together with the argument list and the corresponding list of variables to be bound.
const empty_arglist = list(); function adjoin_arg(arg, arglist) { return append(arglist, list(arg)); }
function is_last_operand(ops) { return is_null(tail(ops)); }


When we construct cross-sections on maps we usually exaggerate (enlarge) the vertical scale in order to see the variations in relief (hills and valleys and slope details) more clearly. The number of times we enlarge the vertical scale is called the vertical exaggeration. The horizontal scale of the cross-section remains the same as the map scale, i.e. 1 : 50 000 on topographic maps and 1 : 10 000 on orthophoto maps.
We use the following formula to calculate vertical exaggeration:
In order to calculate the VE of this cross-section, we need to first determine the VS and the HS that was used.
The VS is 1 cm : 20 m and the HS is 1 cm : 500 m.
We insert these values into the calculation and find that the VE is 25 times.
VS: 1 cm : 20 m = 1 cm : 2 000 cm
HS: 1 cm : 500 m = 1 cm : 50 000 cm
Therefore:
