NAME
arpd - userspace arp daemon.SYNOPSIS
Usage: arpd [ -lkh? ] [ -a N ] [ -b dbase ] [-B number] [ -f file ] [-n time] [-R rate] [ interfaces ]DESCRIPTION
The arpd daemon collects gratuitous ARP information, saving it on local disk and feeding it to kernel on demand to avoid redundant broadcasting due to limited size of kernel ARP cache.OPTIONS
- -h -?
- Print help
- -l
- Dump arpd database to stdout and exit. Output consists of three columns: interface index, IP address and MAC address. Negative entries for dead hosts are also shown, in this case MAC address is replaced by word FAILED followed by colon and time when the fact that host is dead was proven the last time.
- -f <FILE>
- Read and load arpd database from FILE in text format similar dumped by option -l. Exit after load, probably listing resulting database, if option -l is also given. If FILE is -, stdin is read to get ARP table.
- -b <DATABASE>
- location of database file. Default location is /var/lib/arpd/arpd.db
- -a <NUMBER>
- arpd not only passively listens ARP on wire, but also send brodcast queries itself. NUMBER is number of such queries to make before destination is considered as dead. When arpd is started as kernel helper (i.e. with app_solicit enabled in sysctl or even with option -k) without this option and still did not learn enough information, you can observe 1 second gaps in service. Not fatal, but not good.
- -k
- Suppress sending broadcast queries by kernel. It takes sense together with option -a.
- -n <TIME>
- Timeout of negative cache. When resolution fails arpd suppresses further attempts to resolve for this period. It makes sense only together with option -k This timeout should not be too much longer than boot time of a typical host not supporting gratuitous ARP. Default value is 60 seconds.
- -R <RATE>
- Maximal steady rate of broadcasts sent by arpd in packets per second. Default value is 1.
- -B <NUMBER>
-
Number of broadcasts sent by <tt/arpd/ back to back. Default value is 3. Together with option <tt/-R/ this option allows to police broadcasting not to exceed B+R*T over any interval of time T.
<INTERFACE> is the name of networking interface to watch. If no interfaces given, arpd monitors all the interfaces. In this case arpd does not adjust sysctl parameters, it is supposed user does this himself after arpd is started.
Signals
arpd exits gracefully syncing database and restoring adjusted sysctl parameters, when receives SIGINT or SIGTERM. SIGHUP syncs database to disk. SIGUSR1 sends some statistics to syslog. Effect of another signals is undefined, they may corrupt database and leave sysctl praameters in an unpredictable state. Note
In order for arpd to be able to serve as ARP resolver, kernel must be compiled with the option CONFIG_ARPD and, in the case when interface list in not given on command line, variable app_solicit on interfaces of interest should be in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/*. If this is not made arpd still collects gratuitous ARP information in its database.
EXAMPLES
- arpd -b /var/tmp/arpd.db
- Start arpd to collect gratuitous ARP, but not messing with kernel functionality.
- killall arpd ; arpd -l -b /var/tmp/arpd.db
- Look at result after some time.
- arpd -b /var/tmp/arpd.db -a 1 eth0 eth1
- Enable kernel helper, leaving leading role to kernel.
- arpd -b /var/tmp/arpd.db -a 3 -k eth0 eth1
- Completely replace kernel resolution on interfaces eth0 and eth1. In this case kernel still does unicast probing to validate entries, but all the broadcast activity is suppressed and made under authority of arpd.
This is mode which arpd is supposed to work normally. It is not default just to prevent occasional enabling of too aggressive mode occasionally.

The first lesson consists of the Arabic letters alif, waw, and yaa. After you master (1) the shape, (2) the signs, and (3) how to write them, then time for the exercises. Alif gives the sounds of the A in N avid or Obama, and also the sound of A in man. But not the normal sound of A like in gay, smile!  When it comes in the beginning of Word it gets a glottal stop mark above it. Which is the controversial hamza. For now just know that because of pronouncing a stop with the throat when alif comes in start of Word, we mark it with this hamza, like the weird Apple. But it can come below the alif like the word Islam. Notice the difference in sound of the throat or glottal stop.
Now you can write man and Navid, substituting the A with alif.
Now for the wow sound, its shape is a whirl. Its name is waaw, and the A is like the one in obama. It looks like a 9. When it comes at the beginning of a word it is pronounced "wu" like in woman. Or "wo" like in wall. So remember Alif with man and waaw with wuman! Notice the curves, smile. it comes in the middle or end of a word it loses the W, and becomes just a U or an O.
Write woman in English but substitute the "wo" with waaw. Write judo and week. Now write this first word all in Arabic, wow. If you could write it then you had learned successfully the first and most important two letters/vowels of Arabic.
The final vowel is Yaa'. Which is the last letter of Arabic. It looks like a Y inverted 90 degrees. And it actually is a Y when it comes in the start of a word. The two dots below it, you can remember from the two dots in the Yin and Yang symbol. When it comes in the beginning it is a Yaa or Yuu or Yo depending on the diacritic symbols written above or below it (usually not written, these are the short vowel sounds, they are guessed from context). Which is actually the most confusing thing for a beginner. The vowels when they are short are not written. They are written only when they are clear sounding or emphasized or long. Back to yaa', it is pronounced Y in the beginning of a word, and E in the middle or end.  All those As are written with yaa. Focus on this because it confuses even many arabic speakers. End of lesson 1. Good luck.
Write year, give, green, and guide. To wind up the vowels write: way, yo-yo, yaw, wowy, and the name of the letter Y in English.
Alif: mاn, Nاvid Wow: jوdو ,وeek, واو Yaa': يear, gيve, grيn, gيde Summary: وي , يو-يو , ياو , ووي , واي
Write these words: baba (same like papa, because there is actually no p sound!), booboo, baby. Then write first two letters of police and complete with lice in English. Finally, write: TAco, BuTt, TAbeeb (doctor in Arabic), Toob (adobe or bricks), two, too, boot, tab, tight (that's tricky!).
Baba بابا Booboo بوبو Baby بيبي Police بوlice Taco طاco Butt بط Tabeeb طبيب Toob طوب Two طو Too تو Boot بوت Tab تاب Tight طايت
Lesson 5, page 8: G. This letter has a dual nature, like the English G. The English G is pronounced differently in the two words green and page. The Arabic standard pronunciation is J like in Japan. However in some dialects like Egyptian it is pronounced G like in green. So let's say both are correct and understandable, so choose whichever pronunciation from both. Note: there are 5 letters that can be connected only to the preceding letters, namely: alef, wow, and the others coming soon. Basically connecting letters is easy, you just use a dash to connect, going from right to left. But notice that usually the standalone (or a more accurate name, the full shape) shape of some letters changes a bit when it comes at the end of a word. Just by adding an open ring usually to the right or to the left. Like this G/j: ج. Or just جبل. When it is connected to the letter after it, it continues moving instead of closing with the curved ring. Try to use a pencil to write, don't type only.
Write: gaat, gut, jeep, job, big, bag, and Togo. Note that the I in the beginning of a word like Islam is written with an alif, but below this alif is a hamza (glottal stop) to denote the E sound. Now write Egypt. Write: stop. swiss. site (write the vowels here for practice even if they are short). pizza=peetsa. space. goose. city. Write: saga. sub. substitute.
Lesson 6, page 9: S. That letter looks like a snake indeed both in Arabic and in English! Note how the standalone or final shape closes with a ring (a bit different ring than the G though but same idea). Now the letter SA. This letter is peculiar to Arabic. And I call it the heavy S. Listen to it on YouTube and you will see it is a magnified S.
Write: stop, swiss, and site (write the vowels here for practice even if they are short). Write pizza=peetsa, space, goose, city, saga, sub, and substitute.

a little about, this guy
Thank you for checking out my site. This site's primary purpose is to serve as a repository for my written articles and references. I am posting it to the general public, so that hopefully the effort can be diffused to others.
I recently graduated from the Oregon State University EECS graduate program. I am now working full time at Systema-USA as a semiconductor tool integrator. While working at Systema, I have had the opportunity to work in several semiconductor fabs on the west coast. These have been a mixture of PV and 200mm fabs. As a systems integrator, I work often in between the system layers trying to create common interfaces between the multitude of supporting systems found in a typical fab (MES, SPC, tools, reporting, etc.).
I was a MS student in the EECS department at OSU. I worked under Dr. Raviv Raich. There I was part of the machine learning/signal processing team, which primary used machine learning techniques to create adaptive filters, classifiers, and signal restoration. My thesis / research work was focused around the fast paced world of Mass Spectrometry (MS). I had the opportunity to work under Dr. Vallery Voinov in the Analytical Chemistry Department. There I performed the duties as a student research assistant in the development of MS instruments. This involves precision Analog circuitry and filter design, as well as, digital signal processing and database information mining.

Events
Events are the core data construct provided by the eyeson library. Most
interactions with the room will be processed through events. The identifying
attribute of an event is its type
. When listening for events the most common
thing you want to do is to respond to an event, commonly distinguished by
conditionals, a switch statement or a factory.
Note
eyeson js library will handle some additional events for you in order to provide a higher level abstraction and for ease of use you will not receive those events.
Connection and Setup
connection
Contains update information about your connection status to the eyeson api.
{
type: 'connection',
connectionStatus: 'fetch_room' | 'connected' | 'access_denied'
}
room_setup
Received once the real time channel connection is established. This event contains information about the state of the current room.
{
type: 'room_setup',
content: {
access_key: 'token-for-room',
ready: true | false,
room: {
id,
name,
ready: true | false,
shutdown: true | false,
sip: { /* omitted */ } // sip connection credentials
guest_token: 'token-for-guest'
},

 Hopefully, whoever dropped it will retrace their steps and find it.
You walk out of the kitchen area looking around to decide what part of the library to explore next.

When you have mapped an SAP function to Java, you can use Hibersap's small and effective API to actually call the function in the SAP backend.
If you already worked with modern O/R mappers like JPA, Hibersap's API should look familiar to you. You can also spawn transactions around multiple calls to SAP.
Configure Hibersap
To configure Hibersap you can either create an XML configuration file META-INF/hibersap.xml
or configure Hibersap programmatically.
When using Hibersap with the SAP Java Connector you need to specify the JCo properties which will be passed on to the
Java connector. When using Hibersap with a Resource Adapter the SAP systems are configured in the application server's
JCA subsystem. Each Hibersap class which is annotated with @Bapi
must also be listed here.

htmlparse - Procedures to parse HTML strings
The htmlparse package provides commands that allow libraries and applications to parse HTML in a string into a representation of their choice.
The following commands are available:
This command is the basic parser for HTML. It takes an HTML string, parses it and invokes a command prefix for every tag encountered. It is not necessary for the HTML to be valid for this parser to function. It is the responsibility of the command invoked for every tag to check this. Another responsibility of the invoked command is the handling of tag attributes and character entities (escaped characters). The parser provides the un-interpreted tag attributes to the invoked command to aid in the former, and the package at large provides a helper command, ::htmlparse::mapEscapes, to aid in the handling of the latter. The parser does ignore leading DOCTYPE declarations and all valid HTML comments it encounters.
All information beyond the HTML string itself is specified via options, these are explained below.
To help understand the options, some more background information about the parser.
It is capable of detecting incomplete tags in the HTML string given to it. Under normal circumstances this will cause the parser to throw an error, but if the option -incvar is used to specify a global (or namespace) variable, the parser will store the incomplete part of the input into this variable instead. This will aid greatly in the handling of incrementally arriving HTML, as the parser will handle whatever it can and defer the handling of the incomplete part until more data has arrived.
Another feature of the parser are its two possible modes of operation. The normal mode is activated if the option -queue is not present on the command line invoking the parser. If it is present, the parser will go into the incremental mode instead.
The main difference is that a parser in normal mode will immediately invoke the command prefix for each tag it encounters. In incremental mode however the parser will generate a number of scripts which invoke the command prefix for groups of tags in the HTML string and then store these scripts in the specified queue. It is then the responsibility of the caller of the parser to ensure the execution of the scripts in the queue.
Note: The queue object given to the parser has to provide the same interface as the queue defined in tcllib -> struct. This means, for example, that all queues created via that tcllib module can be immediately used here. Still, the queue doesn't have to come from tcllib -> struct as long as the same interface is provided.
In both modes the parser will return an empty string to the caller.
The -split option may be given to a parser in incremental mode to specify the size of the groups it creates. In other words, -split 5 means that each of the generated scripts will invoke the command prefix for 5 consecutive tags in the HTML string. A parser in normal mode will ignore this option and its value.
The option -vroot specifies a virtual root tag. A parser in normal mode will invoke the command prefix for it immediately before and after it processes the tags in the HTML, thus simulating that the HTML string is enclosed in a <vroot> </vroot> combination. In incremental mode however the parser is unable to provide the closing virtual root as it never knows when the input is complete. In this case the first script generated by each invocation of the parser will contain an invocation of the command prefix for the virtual root as its first command. The following options are available:
The command prefix to invoke for every tag in the HTML string. Defaults to ::htmlparse::debugCallback.
The virtual root tag to add around the HTML in normal mode. In incremental mode it is the first tag in each chunk processed by the parser, but there will be no closing tags. Defaults to hmstart.
The size of the groups produced by an incremental mode parser. Ignored when in normal mode. Defaults to 10. Values <= 0 are not allowed.
The name of the variable where to store any incomplete HTML into. This makes most sense for the incremental mode. The parser will throw an error if it sees incomplete HTML and has no place to store it to. This makes sense for the normal mode. Only incomplete tags are detected, not missing tags. Optional, defaults to 'no variable'.
In normal mode the parser will invoke the command prefix with four arguments appended. See ::htmlparse::debugCallback for a description.
In incremental mode, however, the generated scripts will invoke the command prefix with five arguments appended. The last four of these are the same which were mentioned above. The first is a placeholder string (@win@) for a clientdata value to be supplied later during the actual execution of the generated scripts. This could be a tk window path, for example. This allows the user of this package to preprocess HTML strings without committing them to a specific window, object, whatever during parsing. This connection can be made later. This also means that it is possible to cache preprocessed HTML. Of course, nothing prevents the user of the parser from replacing the placeholder with an empty string.
This command is the standard callback used by the parser in ::htmlparse::parse if none was specified by the user. It simply dumps its arguments to stdout. This callback can be used for both normal and incremental mode of the calling parser. In other words, it accepts four or five arguments. The last four arguments are described below. The optional fifth argument contains the clientdata value passed to the callback by a parser in incremental mode. All callbacks have to follow the signature of this command in the last four arguments, and callbacks used in incremental parsing have to follow this signature in the last five arguments.
The first argument, clientdata, is optional and present only if this command is invoked by a parser in incremental mode. It contains whatever the user of this package wishes.
The second argument, tag, contains the name of the tag which is currently processed by the parser.
The third argument, slash, is either empty or contains a slash character. It allows the callback to distinguish between opening (slash is empty) and closing tags (slash contains a slash character).
The fourth argument, param, contains the un-interpreted list of parameters to the tag.
The fifth and last argument, textBehindTheTag, contains the text found by the parser behind the tag named in tag.
This command takes a HTML string, substitutes all escape sequences with their actual characters and then returns the resulting string. HTML strings which do not contain escape sequences are returned unchanged.
This command is a wrapper around ::htmlparse::parse which takes an HTML string (in html) and converts it into a tree containing the logical structure of the parsed document. The name of the tree is given to the command as its second argument (tree). The command does not generate the tree by itself but expects that the caller provided it with an existing and empty tree. It also expects that the specified tree object follows the same interface as the tree object in tcllib -> struct. It doesn't have to be from tcllib -> struct, but it must provide the same interface.
The internal callback does some basic checking of HTML validity and tries to recover from the most basic errors. The command returns the contents of its second argument. Side effects are the creation and manipulation of a tree object.
Each node in the generated tree represent one tag in the input. The name of the tag is stored in the attribute type of the node. Any html attributes coming with the tag are stored unmodified in the attribute data of the tag. In other words, the command does not parse html attributes into their names and values.
If a tag contains text its node will have children of type PCDATA containing this text. The text will be stored in the attribute data of these children.
This command walks a tree as generated by ::htmlparse::2tree and removes all the nodes which represent visual tags and not structural ones. The purpose of the command is to make the tree easier to navigate without getting bogged down in visual information not relevant to the search. Its only argument is the name of the tree to cut down.
Like ::htmlparse::removeVisualFluff this command is here to cut down on the size of the tree as generated by ::htmlparse::2tree. It removes all nodes representing forms and form elements. Its only argument is the name of the tree to cut down.
This document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems. Please report such in the category htmlparse of the Tcllib Trackers. Please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either package and/or documentation.
When proposing code changes, please provide unified diffs, i.e the output of diff -u.
Note further that attachments are strongly preferred over inlined patches. Attachments can be made by going to the Edit form of the ticket immediately after its creation, and then using the left-most button in the secondary navigation bar.

JPMorgan lowers account minimum, expands free trades for You Invest
JPMorgan Chase & Co said Thursday it is giving free online trades to more customers and lowering the amount of money needed to open one of its robo-adviser accounts, as firms across the industry bow to pressure to reduce fees and account minimums.
NEW YORK: JPMorgan Chase & Co said Thursday it is giving free online trades to more customers and lowering the amount of money needed to open one of its robo-adviser accounts, as firms across the industry bow to pressure to reduce fees and account minimums.
The move means that people with as little as US$500 can open a You Invest Portfolios account, and Chase customers who have at least US$15,000 in their checking accounts or meet other key metrics can trade for free online and on the mobile app.
Kelli Keough, global head of digital wealth management at JPMorgan, said the bank lowered the barriers because it wants more Chase banking clients to be Chase investment clients.
It also comes about two months after the largest U.S. online brokerage, Charles Schwab Corp , eliminated commissions and fees for most online trades.
Schwab is reportedly exploring a merger with rival TD Ameritrade in a bid to gain scale and more clients to support its new zero-commission business model.
You Invest Portfolios, which launched in July, previously required investors to have at least US$2,500.
You Invest Trade, which launched in 2018, previously offered free unlimited trades only to sapphire banking customers, who keep at least US$75,000 in their accounts, and Chase private client customers, who keep at least US$250,000. Private bank and securities division clients were also eligible for free trades.
Premier plus checking clients received 100 free trades a year.
Starting on Monday, Chase customers with premier plus can place unlimited free online stock, ETF and options trades. Anyone else who opens a new You Invest Trade account will get unlimited free trades for one year.
"We've been seeing a nice uptake from our Chase client base - mostly younger and first-time investors," Keough said by phone.
On average, she said, You Invest Trade investors are over 15 years younger than clients of other investing divisions at the bank.
The bank declined to provide data on assets under management or number of clients for You Invest.

Selenium has many projects that combine to form a versatile testing system.
Selenium WebDriver drives a browser natively, as a real user would, either locally or on remote machines.
WebDriver is simple, it is designed as a concise and compact programming interface.
Through a simple setup, WebDriver can be used with all major browsers. Automate real user interactions in Firefox, Safari, Edge, Chrome, Internet Explorer and more! Selenium WebDriver refers to both the language bindings and the implementations of the individual browser controlling code. This is commonly referred to as just WebDriver.
WebDriver is a W3C Recommendation!
The W3C is an international community that works to develop Web standards. In June 2018, WebDriver became a W3C recommendation. What does this mean? Major browser vendors (Mozilla, Google, Apple, Microsoft) support WebDriver and work constantly to improve the browsers and browser controlling code, which leads to a more uniform behaviour across the different browsers, making your automation scripts more stable.
Selenium IDE is a Chrome, Firefox and Edge extension that makes it easy to record and playback tests in the browser.
Simple, turn-key solution to quickly author reliable end-to-end tests. Works out of the box for any web app.
Enjoy easier test debugging with rich IDE features like setting breakpoints and pausing on exceptions.
Cross-browser Execution
Run your tests on any browser/OS combination in parallel using the Command-line Runner for Selenium IDE.
Selenium Grid takes WebDriver to another level by running tests on many machines at the same time, cutting down on the time it takes to test on multiple browsers and operating systems.
Grid helps you to run your automation scripts across multiple combinations of browsers, versions and operating systems.
 You still need scripts that can run in parallel though!

Abstract:
Access 2013 web apps feature a new, full integration with SQL Azure. When you create a web app on SharePoint, Access Services will create SQL Azure database that houses all of your Access objects. This opens up new opportunities for SQL developers to extend and work with the data in Access apps. In this session you will learn to easily create an Access Web Apps with automatic views, view the online development environment and see a real-world, production web app in action. We’ll discuss different the use of hybrid applications and integrating office web apps as well as learn about app distribution, deployment and upgrades. And lastly, see the pros/cons of Access Web Apps in a corporate environment.
Speaker(s): Andy Tabisz,
Abstract:
The Analysis Services 2012 Business Intelligence Semantic Model (BISM) unifies Multidimensional (OLAP) and Tabular (relational) options for organizational BI. BI professionals can implement Multidimensional cubes, or they can deploy Tabular models, developed by business users, to a dedicated server. Those new to Tabular, or those embarking upon BI for the first time with Analysis Services 2012, may find it difficult to choose between the two paths. In this session, BI Architect, SSAS Maestro and MVP Bill Pearson overviews the nature and design goals of each option, comparing Multidimensional and Tabular features. He then offers guidance on selecting the appropriate model, providing real world examples to illustrate approaches for given scenarios.
Speaker(s): William E Pearson III,
Abstract:
A Dynamic Dialog session: According to research compiled by Gartner from discussions with many BI clients, a substantial disparity exists, in the implementation of BI, between theory (standard approaches, promises, claims and expectations) and practice (shortfalls, compromises and other realities). In this session, Business Intelligence Architect and Microsoft MVP Bill Pearson leads a dialog within which we gain an understanding of the general types of discrepancies between the “ideal” approach to BI and the compromised reality that a large number of organizations experience. We’ll then share and class experiences as a group, and discuss ways to avoid these discrepancies in future projects.
Speaker(s): William E Pearson III,

There is no better way to understand how TSQL is executing than through the execution plan. We will go into detail about the more complex parts of execution plans, relating them to other query statistics, and use this information to improve overall query performance. Be sure to bring your safety helmet!
Speaker(s): Edward Pollack,
Abstract:
As the number of SQL Server versions and features grow over time so does the difficulty in maintaining a set of tools for working with all of them on your local machine. Add in that some features require multiple physical instances and suddenly a single installation isn't enough. Need to quickly switch between versions and editions of SQL Server? Want to learn how to set up an AlwaysOn Availability Group? Or maybe you want to try out the latest features in SQL 2014...virtualization offers a convenient way to do any and all of these. In this session we'll show you how by covering the fundamentals of desktop virtualization and demonstrating how to set up a virtual lab on your own machine.
Speaker(s): Kendal Van Dyke,
Abstract:
Much of your ETL process flow consists of packages that are very similar in structure, capturing data from a single source and transferring that to a single destination. Creating the individual packages can be tedious and it's easy to miss something in the process of generating the same basic package over and again. BI Markup Language makes it easy to build new packages, and PowerShell makes creating the BIML scripts easy. In this session we'll show you how to use PowerShell to generate dozens of SSIS packages doing similar tasks from a defined set of ETL sources.
Speaker(s): Allen White,
Abstract:
Current models of data warehousing are being challenged by data that is coming at us bigger, faster, and more variable that it ever has before. In traditional models we would throw out much of the data or aggregate to a course grain so that we could gain query performance but may loose some of the nuance needed for deep analytics. How is Microsoft bridging the GAP between the need for speed in both data ingestion and query performance? How is Microsoft integrating the worlds of relational and non-relational data? This session will discuss aspects of Microsoft's data warehouse vision ranging from traditional SMP, our MPP appliance, what we are doing in the cloud and how it all works together.
Speaker(s): Andy Roberts,
Abstract:
SSIS 2012 brings some paradigm shifting concepts to the table. Configurations are being deprecated in favor of Parameters, the Project deployment model vs. the package deployment model, and the addition of environments. This sessions will go hands on to review upgrading some packages, working in parameters and dropping your configurations, work through some of the advantages of the Project deployment model, and round it out with a discussion on Environments to help control the behavior of your packages.
Speaker(s): Daniel Bowlin,
Abstract:
Dynamic SQL can be a powerful tool that allows you to write fast efficient queries when the specifics may not be known until run-time. It can also be complex, difficult to read and debug, and the source of some of the most confusing TSQL you'll ever see. Explore the many uses for dynamic SQL as well as best practices for writing, testing, debugging, and maintaining it, with the bonus of helping to improve the sanity of your coworkers (and your own) in the process!
Speaker(s): Edward Pollack,
Abstract:
Do you have a new piece of hardware going into service and want to see how well it performs? Or do you have a few systems and want to see how they compare against each other? Multiple free and easy ways to stress test your SQL Servers exist by simulating an OLTP workload against a real SQL Server and the infrastructure underneath. In this session we will demonstrate how to test your storage and SQL Server instances to get raw performance numbers that you can use to compare performance of machines across your enterprise. The utilities DVDStore, HammerDB, and SQLIO will be demonstrated in depth.

He is a Senior Consultant with Leidos Health specializing in the healthcare market, which he particularly enjoys as he gets to tackle different types of data problems at each client. He is currently on the board of the Albuquerque chapter of SQL PASS.
Speaker(s): Chris Hyde,
Abstract:
Just about anyone can click through a SQL Server installation and get it working, but more than a little tuning is required to get the most performance out of your servers. Once virtualized, additional tuning can help get even more performance out of that virtual machine. David Klee (@kleegeek) will discuss valuable details for both VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V on how to tweak and tune your virtual infrastructure for business-critical virtualized SQL Servers. Tips on configuring your SQL Server installations for maximum performance when virtualized will be covered in detail.

In this session we will go over T-SQL Basics. We will review SELECT, INSERT, UPDATES and DELETE statements. Discuss how to retrieve data from multiple tables. Work with group by and a few other advance T-SQL techniques to retrieve data from your database.
Speaker(s): Carlton Ramsey,
Abstract:
SQL Server Hekaton completely changes the way that we process data in the SQL Server Engine. This talk will focus on the SQL Server in-memory data structures and how memory optimized and traditional structures can be used in the same application.
Speaker(s): Andy Roberts,
Abstract:
Will Trace Flags help troubleshoot or optimize your your queries? This is an introduction on the how why Trace Flags alters the way SQL Server behaves. Understand the difference between documented and undocumented trace flags. Learn how Trace Flags can be enabled as a hint for individual queries. Also review a couple trace flags that may help with those day to day puzzles.
Speaker(s): Mike Hays,
Abstract:
The wizards that come with SQL Server help us accomplish many things including recovering the database; however, we can not use the wizards for all our data recovery issues. In this session we'll review recovery topics of page corruption, temporary storage loss, master database recovery, and other data recovery scenarios. We'll also determine which of these scenarios can be resolved with a wizard.
Speaker(s): Mike Hays,
Abstract:
There are number of things you can do to optimize SSIS packages to improve overall performance and shorten load times. This session will review 3 areas: common mistakes developers make, settings and tweaks, and design pattern improvements. Some of the things you will see can make dramatic improvements in speed, while others are for those seeking to pull every last bit of performance out of your packages.
Speaker(s): Daniel Bowlin,
Abstract:
Let's face it, auditing isn't fun.  Fortunately, SQL Audit makes it easy. In this session, we'll cover what you can and can't audit using SQL Audit, enhancements in 2012, configuring database and server audits, ways to process output, and ideas for how to implement SQL Audit on a larger scale. Auditing doesn't have to be hard. And with the help of a little custom coding, it can even be fun.
Speaker(s): Colleen Morrow,
Abstract:
You have more and more servers to manage and less time to accomplish everything. You're writing scripts to automate those tasks but they still take time to run. PowerShell remoting allows you to manage servers without the overhead of Remote Desktop, and allows you to run processes on all your servers simultaneously. In this session we'll walk through how PowerShell remoting works, how to set it up, and how you can save time getting things done more quickly.
Speaker(s): Allen White,
Abstract:
There are some things that you just wish your colleague had known before they installed an instance of SQL Server. Next, Next, Next, Next, Done. Right? NO!!! The stink from that just doesn't go away. In this session you'll learn which default settings can come back to haunt you as well as best-practice configurations in SQL Server, the OS, and virtualization layer to ensure stable performance. This session is for the accidental DBA or anyone who needs to install SQL Server occasionally (or for their colleagues who need to mop up afterwards).

Melee Masters is an easy to pick up, fun to play, hard to master platform fighting game. With its cross between a classical era theme and elemental incarnations, there are a wide variety of characters to choose and enjoy. Each character when played should feel unique, this isn't to say that skills between character will not transfer over, however all character have some aspect to their moveset and special abilities that will really allow people to dig in to the specifics of their favorite characters. Where Melee Masters really stands out is it's character's play-styles Which can do things from switching up the short ranged slow hard hitting character archetype, to a ranged one. Alternatively, Umbri and her clone whom the player can swap control of at will, overwhelming your opponent with a barrage of attacks. Stages will also play a unique role. In combination with the platform mechanics of the game, platforms in general will favor some characters more than others. Similarly, stages with close and far elimination-zones will offer benefits to heavy characters over lighter characters which can be KO's much easier. As for specific mechanics, based on the game's inspiration, using the directional airdodge system allows for a lot of smooth control over position when used at the right height above the ground. the official lore is still in the works and will be released alongside with the characters themselves.
Older gameplay
Basic Movement
Movement in Melee Masters is very fluid. Pressing the control stick slightly to the left or right instantly turns the character while not moving them. Pressing the control stick slowly to the side or halfway results in a fast walk. Pressing hard to the side results in a run. You can also slow down from a run to a walk at any time, and go from a walk to a run at any time. Running and turning directions before your stride is finished allows you to instantly turn around and dash the other way, aka: The Dash Dance.
Ultimates
All Characters in Melee MAsters have ultimate abilities. A bar on the bottom of the screen fills up as you take damage. Once full, character can activate their Ultimate abilties. Ultimate for all character were designed to not be automatic kills, each ultimate has some aspect of skill and reactability to it that means it's not a guaranteed kill, but when executed properly, will usually lead to a kill.
Airdodge/Wavedash
While in the air you can activate an air-dodge by pressing the shield button down. This can be angled to any angle in a circle, and leaves you invulnerable for the majority of it's duration. When done close to the ground, the move is canceled instantly, but you maintain some of the momentum. The Wavedash.
Ledge Options
While on the ledge, you have a few options. The normal getup, a ledge roll, a ledge jump, and a ledge attack. You can also drop off the ledge and act instantly by holding down. By smashing the control stick away from the ledge, you can drop off and walljump, allowing you to edge-guard while maintaining your double jump.
Landing Options
When landing an aerial attack you have some options of what do to. There is the default landing animation for every move. By pressing the shield buttons shortly before hitting the ground, you can cancel half of the landing animation, allowing you to follow up with whatever you choose. Alternatively, there is a "Landing Special" move that each character has. This move can only be activated when you did NOT cancel the landing animation. These moves can vary between each character, each with their own style and use-cases.
Movement Edge Canceling
A new mechanic to Melee Masters is Movement Edge Canceling. Normally, when performing an attack while on the edge of a platform, the ledge stops your movement so you can complete the action. By pressing the shield button down, you can instantly cancel the attack that was stopped on the ledge and slide off, allowing you to act immediately.
Recovery Ledge Canceling
A different type of Ledge Cenceling is Recovery Ledge Canceling.
- When will the Alpha be available?
- Where will the funds go?
- How big is the dev team?
- What Platforms will this be available for?
- What makes this different than just regular melee besides being just PC? (or other smash-style games)
- Well if you removed technical movement doesn't that just make the game easier and have less depth?
A bare bones alpha will be available in likely 2-4 weeks. Along with it there will be a refined Kickstarter or some other term of funding support. This will function essentially the inverse of early access on steam, instead of paying for an early build of the game and then not liking it. you will get to play the game with basic features (i.e: no online play, extra game modes ect) and then if you enjoyed it, you can choose to support the game in order to improve it. There will be in place areas for feedback to be read and addressed.
The vast majority of the funds will go towards hiring and commissioning animators in order to improve the animations, as those area very critical aspects to the FEEL of the game and how characters will perform. that along with sound design and general art improvements.
Not counting commissioned artists and sound, there is only a single developer doing all of the programming, design and implementation. With support this will change in the future.
For now, until we can hire additional people to help with the game, PC will be the main concern. developing for the Xbox One and PS4 is definitely on the radar though. The game is built in Unity, which implicitly has the ability to build for numerous platforms.
Although we've taken steps to accurately re-produce the magic that is SSBM, we've taken our own steps to add elements to the game and simplify others to change the average level of play in a more fun, movement heavy direction. The pivot system is the most notable change, In SSBM when you want to turn around, you need to pivot, this places you in an unmovable movement state for a few frames, after which you will begin walking. Tapping the control stick hard in the same direction again will skip this and allow you to start moving immediately (Assuming you were standing still when we started).
In Melee Masters, there is no pivot system, if you want your character to turn around, pressing the controller in the opposite direction you are facing you will instantly turn around. this means the basic ground movements are generally less intensive, allowing players to dive deeper into the harder mechanics of the game and master those. The sensitivity or "deadzone" of the controls sticks is a configuration option that will allow you to turn around and not more if the default sensitivity leads you to turn around and move a bit before using moves.
In the general sense yes it would if we had not added more mechanics in other areas to compensate. Read over the mechanics section in order to better understand how we've made changes in other areas.


Judgment of Social Media Entrepreneurship
In recent times, it seems that there has been continual negativity against social media and social network-based entrepreneurship. They’ve been continually criticized for adding minimal value to society and being opportunistic. Other times, they’re viewed as young people who just want to start a company for the sake of starting a company. Indeed, I agree that social media and social network-based problems are not the most important issues that our society faces today. I think that much of the criticism of the changed VC landscape and the resulting short-termed thinking of investors is quite valid, but I believe that the criticism sometimes goes a little far when it begins to condemn the individuals who are starting these companies (which I’ll refer to for the rest of this post as social media startups).
The primary criticism of social media startups is that they are not adding much value to society or the economy, and that their talents, capital, and efforts would be much better spent solving “real” problems like education, energy, or our healthcare system. While this is certainly true, it’s also quite an unfair criticism to make. Before giving any proper critique, one should always consider the likely alternatives to the object of criticism — or else they risk wasting their breath on something that can’t be easily changed or being unfair by criticizing something that, although flawed, turns out to be the better than most other options. I believe that most criticism of social media startups fails to do the latter.
It is true that entrepreneurs working on social media startups could be working on harder, more meaningful problems, but in reality it’s much more likely that wouldn’t be doing either. Starting a company is quite difficult, and if they weren’t working on their social media startup, they would probably be at a regular job at some company or startup, perhaps at sort of marketing, sales, or business development role. Honestly, given that alternative, starting a company creates much more value: It creates jobs and generates value for businesses or consumers. I think many people jump on the bandwagon to knock on social media startups and didn’t take the time to really consider what the alternative would be.
Most importantly of all, critics fail to realize what the social media startup sets up the entrepreneurship for in his or her future. Most successful entrepreneurs after having exited their company will return to start another business, but with greater aspirations to make more impact and create an even greater legacy. Having already achieved success and financial freedom, these entrepreneurs will now invest their knowledge, experience, and capital to tackle more meaningful problems in society.
It seems absurd that we should condemn these entrepreneurs for not attempting difficult problems that most of us would not even attempt! We hold them to much too high of a standard, when most of us allow ourselves to get away without the greatest of ambitions. Rather, we should give them our encouragement and support, so that they may grow, learn, and succeed in order to continue to contribute more and more to society in meaningful ways as time passes. Wouldn’t we want the same for ourselves? After all, it’s always hard work to create value.
