Abstract:
Data Masking is the act of replacing sensitive data with fictitious but realistic data in order to eliminate the risk of exposure to unauthorized parties. Implementing a sustainable data masking program in a modern enterprise environment can be surprisingly challenging—not just technically and organizationally, but culturally. The reactions and concerns you’ll encounter from your development and QA teams are understandable. You’re not just introducing new controls over confidentiality exposures in development and testing systems.  Do you understand what each one does and where each one may or may not benefit you? Do you know the basics of what you need to implement highly available SQL Server instances and databases? If these burning questions speak to you, so will this session. Whether you are an accidental DBA, new to SQL Server, or looking to brush up your skills, this session will cover the different methods of making SQL Server available, compare and contrast them, as well as and cover the top things both SQL Server and non-SQL Server you need to do to ensure uptime for databases and instances.

Abstract:
Writing a query optimizer that produces a great execution plan for every SQL query, on every database, with every hardware configuration, is a hard problem. A really hard problem. Luckily, few of us will be called upon to write an optimizer. On the other hand, most of us have to make use of the SQL Server query optimizer in our everyday work. To write queries that will optimize well, it helps to have a good understanding of how the optimizer translates T-SQL code into an executable plan and how to read those plans. Come to this session and learn how to take full advantage of the optimizer's powerful features, how to avoid some of its limitations, and how to leverage the wealth of information contained in SQL Server's execution plans.

Speaker(s): Douglas Barrett,
Abstract:
Recently I have had a client that required migrating and re hosting a data warehouse from the Oracle environment to the Netezza Appliance. The application had hundreds of tables and almost 2900 Source to Target Mappings. This would have taken 1000's of hours of manual coding. For this client we implemented a reusable data driven architecture, via SSIS, that rely on a metadata mart. The end result a greatly reduced TCO(development effort) for generating the code required vs manual coding. In addition the process leaves behind a metadata mart to report on for auditing and other Data Governance efforts. We generated over 100,000 lines of code and over 3000 load scripts.
Speaker(s): Ira Warren,
Abstract:
You may ask yourself, “Who did drop my table? Who altered this Stored Procedure? When did this SQL login grant access to a database? Who inserted, updated or deleted records in a table? Do you need to meet regulatory compliance needs?” If you’d like to know the answers, this session is for you, I will cover the technical details of the new Auditing feature in SQL Server 2008 with lots of demos and how you can leverage it in your SQL server environment. I will show you how to build a Centralized Auditing Solution where you can view all audit events in your environment centrally with rich dashboards and reports to track and view all audit actions by server, database, object and users across all SQL servers.
Speaker(s): Ayad Shammout,
Abstract:
The Dynamic Management Objects--a set of views and functions that first shipped with SQL Server 2005--are a window into the inner workings of your SQL Server instance. Locked within is the data you need to help solve virtually any performance problem, quickly debug issues, and gain insight into what's actually happening on your server, right now. This session is a fast-paced tour of the ins, outs, whys, hows, and even pitfalls of 15 of the most important views and functions--information gleaned from heavy use of the objects in a number of environments. You will learn how to understand transaction behavior, locking, wait statistics, sessions, requests, and much more.
Speaker(s): Adam Machanic,
Abstract:
You've always wanted to get promoted into the DBA position. The good news is you got it - the bad news is you have no idea what to do first. What's important, what's not a big deal, and what can get you fired if you're not careful? If your answer wasn’t, “update my resume”, then this session is a good start. We’ll chat about a natural priority for the overwhelming flood waiting in our offices. By focusing on a few words ending in “ity” we’ll realize what is most important. Through the interaction, stories and examples you’ll leave feeling ready to attack your environment. Be warned – along the way to knowing where to start, you may get that feeling in your stomach that makes you log on to the VPN to check a few things out.
Speaker(s): Mike Walsh,
Abstract:
Efficient and effective database design is so important that leaving it solely to the DBAs is simply not a solution. We as developers will more than likely have to create applications to access the data stores and as such must ensure that all application related considerations are taken into account within the database design. In this session, (aimed at software developers) we shall be touching upon several concepts of special importance to the developer. These include database development "patterns and anti-patterns", final proofing of design and creating versatile deployment scripts that can and will be utilized in future endeavors.

Speaker(s): Craig Purnell,
Abstract:
Understanding the fundamentals of how indexes work and how they are best utilized is an essential part of any DBA or SQL developer’s repertoire. Many people assume if you create an index on a column or columns of a table that it will automatically be used when you reference that column. While that may be true under some conditions the actual usage depends on several key factors and they may surprise you. We will cover the fundamentals of how the indexes work under the covers and why you need to know this in order to ensure your indexes are actually helping and not hurting your performance.
Speaker(s): Andrew Kelly,
Abstract:
We will discuss the “how to’s” of column encryption from the perspective of the DBA, Performance Analyst, Application Architect, and Programmer. We will actually encrypt the “NationalIDNumber” column of the Personel.Employee table in AdventureWorks – and subsequently the entire AdventureWorks database. I will contrast column encryption with Transparent Data Encryption (TDE). We will also briefly discuss business role changes necessary to support encryption and subsequently DR.

Speaker(s): Matt Masson,
Abstract:
Consolidating SQL Server Instances can be daunting. Virtualizing SQL Server instances can be intimidating. Doing both at the same time can be absolutely frightening. When Mike Hillwig inherited his SQL environment, he had 14 SQL Server instances, running five different versions of SQL, all using local disk. In one project, his team consolidated this down to four servers. And the entire environment is virtual. In this session, MIke will share what they did, how they did it, what worked, and what didn't work so well.

Wow BI on a budget...or how a DBA can roll out some of Microsoft's vision of Self Service BI using just SQL EXPRESS. In this session we go from a payroll feed in csv to a SQL 2008 Reporting Services Management Report. This report is utilizing windows login as hidden row level secuity. Finance retains control of access to the payroll information. All this can be set up on SBS 2011
Speaker(s): Rob MacNaughton,
Abstract:
We all know how important it is to keep a baseline of performance metrics that allow us to know when something is wrong and help us to track it down and fix the problem. We don't always know how to do this easily and consistently. This session will walk you through a series of PowerShell scripts you can schedule which will capture the most important data and a set of reports to show you how to use that data to keep your server running smoothly.

I like scenic routes which is good because that is all I seem to take. No 'the shortest distance between two points is a straight line' for me!! I have a BA in Art History and was fortunate enough to work for the Museum of Modern Art. I had the opportunity to meet aritists I had read about and see their work up close. Unfortunately I did not have the opportunity to eat. The pay was on the low scale -- like shoe budget was higher the annual pay low.
I jumped ship and landed in Wall Street/Corporate America wasteland working as a Secretary/Word Processor/Desktop Publisher. Icky. After several years I become frustrated and bored and was actually relieved to be laid-off. So I spent a lot of free time playing on the computer and taking on-line courses in web design. I finally bit the bullet and got serious about making this career change and dedicate myself to becoming a developer. I didn't find DBC, DBC sort of found me. I meet a graduate of the Chicago program a few months ago at a NYC Ruby Women meet-up and she sold me on the idea. And that's the abridged story of how I got here.

The Tunisian_MSA corpus was originally collected to train acoustic models for pronunciation modeling in Arabic language learning applications.
The data collection took place near Tunis the capital of the Republic of Tunisia in 2003.
The Tunisian_MSA corpus is divided into recited and prompted speech subcorpora. The recited speech is stored under the recordings directory. The prompted speech is stored under the answers directory. Each of the 118 informants contributed to both subcorpora by reciting sentences and providing answers to prompted questions. The Tunisian_MSA corpus has 11.2 hours of speech.
A small corpus was collected in 2017 for testing. It consists of speech from 4 speakers, 3 male Libyans and 1 female from Tunisia.

2 Methods
2.1 Data Collection
Data used in this paper was originally downloaded from
https://spark-public.s3.amazonaws.com/dataanalysis/loansData.csv
February 16, 2013, and again April 22, 2016, using the R
programming language (R Core Team 2015). It is not clear from the available information how, from whom, or when the data was collected, nor is it clear what entity or organization did the collecting. Thirty loans were removed that had either questionable values or missing data. Loans were removed when their recorded data conformed to the “Decline Criteria” given at the bottom of the https://www.lendingclub.com/public/how-we-set-interest-rates.action web page.
2.2 Exploratory Analysis
Exploratory analysis was performed by examining contingency tables, density plots, and scatter-plots of the “cleaned” data. The quality of the “cleaned” data was also evaluated for additional discrepancies, and none were noted. To correct the positive skew of monthly income, a base 10 logarithm was applied to monthly income. Added-variable (partial-regression) plots as described in Fox, Weisberg, and Fox (2011) were used in the selection of appropriate variables. Diagnostic plots were used to assess different models including Box-Cox transformations on the response variable (interest rate) as described in Kutner et al. (2005).
2.3 Statistical Modeling
Standard multivariate regression techniques such as those described in Fox, Weisberg, and Fox (2011) and Kutner et al. (2005) were used to develop a model to predict the interest rate of loans awarded by the Lending Club.
2.4 Reproducibility
All analyses performed in this paper can be reproduced by running the original .Rmd
file with RStudio, assuming the link to the original data remains current and the contents thereof remain unchanged. The R
packages car
(Fox and Weisberg 2015), ggplot2
(Wickham and Chang 2015), knitr
(Xie 2016a), rmarkdown
(Allaire et al. 2016), and bookdown
(Xie 2016b) will need to be installed on the user’s computer. Since bookdown
is being actively developed and is not yet on CRAN, you will need to install bookdown
from GitHub by typing the following at the R
prompt:
devtools::install_github("rstudio/bookdown")

NANO
Section: User Commands (1)Updated: version 2.0.0
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
nano - Nano's ANOther editor, an enhanced free Pico cloneSYNOPSIS
nano [OPTIONS] [[+LINE,COLUMN] FILE]...DESCRIPTION
This manual page briefly documents the nano command.nano is a small, free and friendly editor which aims to replace Pico, the default editor included in the non-free Pine package. Rather than just copying Pico's look and feel, nano also implements some missing (or disabled by default) features in Pico, such as "search and replace" and "go to line and column number".
OPTIONS
- +LINE,COLUMN
- Places cursor at line number LINE and column number COLUMN (at least one of which must be specified) on startup, instead of the default of line 1, column 1.
- -?
- Same as -h (--help).
- -A (--smarthome)
- Make the Home key smarter. When Home is pressed anywhere but at the very beginning of non-whitespace characters on a line, the cursor will jump to that beginning (either forwards or backwards). If the cursor is already at that position, it will jump to the true beginning of the line.
- -B (--backup)
- When saving a file, back up the previous version of it to the current filename suffixed with a ~.
- -C dir (--backupdir=dir)
- Set the directory where nano puts unique backup files if file backups are enabled.
- -D (--boldtext)
- Use bold text instead of reverse video text.
- -E (--tabstospaces)
- Convert typed tabs to spaces.
- -F (--multibuffer)
- Enable multiple file buffers, if available.
- -H (--historylog)
- Log search and replace strings to ~/.nano_history, so they can be retrieved in later sessions, if nanorc support is available.
- -I (--ignorercfiles)
- Don't look at SYSCONFDIR/nanorc or ~/.nanorc, if nanorc support is available.
- -K (--rebindkeypad)
- Interpret the numeric keypad keys so that they all work properly. You should only need to use this option if they don't, as mouse support won't work properly with this option enabled.
- -L (--nonewlines)
- Don't add newlines to the ends of files.
- -N (--noconvert)
- Disable automatic conversion of files from DOS/Mac format.
- -O (--morespace)
- Use the blank line below the titlebar as extra editing space.
- -Q str (--quotestr=str)
- Set the quoting string for justifying. The default is "^([ \t]*[#:>\|}])+" if extended regular expression support is available, or "> " otherwise. Note that \t stands for a Tab.
- -R (--restricted)
- Restricted mode: don't read or write to any file not specified on the command line; read any nanorc files; allow suspending; allow a file to be appended to, prepended to, or saved under a different name if it already has one; or use backup files or spell checking. Also accessible by invoking nano with any name beginning with 'r' (e.g. "rnano").
- -S (--smooth)
- Enable smooth scrolling. Text will scroll line-by-line, instead of the usual chunk-by-chunk behavior.
- -T cols (--tabsize=cols)
- Set the size (width) of a tab to cols columns. The value of cols must be greater than 0. The default value is 8.
- -U (--quickblank)
- Do quick statusbar blanking. Statusbar messages will disappear after 1 keystroke instead of 25. Note that -c overrides this.
- -V (--version)
- Show the current version number and exit.
- -W (--wordbounds)
- Detect word boundaries more accurately by treating punctuation characters as part of a word.
- -Y str (--syntax=str)
- Specify a specific syntax highlighting from the nanorc to use, if available.
- -c (--const)
- Constantly show the cursor position. Note that this overrides -U.
- -d (--rebinddelete)
- Interpret the Delete key differently so that both Backspace and Delete work properly. You should only need to use this option if Backspace acts like Delete on your system.
- -h (--help)
- Show a summary of command line options and exit.
- -i (--autoindent)
- Indent new lines to the previous line's indentation. Useful when editing source code.
- -k (--cut)
- Enable cut from cursor to end of line.
- -l (--nofollow)
- If the file being edited is a symbolic link, replace the link with a new file instead of following it. Good for editing files in /tmp, perhaps?
- -m (--mouse)
- Enable mouse support, if available for your system. When enabled, mouse clicks can be used to place the cursor, set the mark (with a double click), and execute shortcuts. The mouse will work in the X Window System, and on the console when gpm is running.
- -o dir (--operatingdir=dir)
- Set operating directory. Makes nano set up something similar to a chroot.
- -p (--preserve)
- Preserve the XON and XOFF sequences (^Q and ^S) so they will be caught by the terminal.
- -r cols (--fill=cols)
- Wrap lines at column cols. If this value is 0 or less, wrapping will occur at the width of the screen less cols columns, allowing the wrap point to vary along with the width of the screen if the screen is resized. The default value is -8.
- -s prog (--speller=prog)
- Enable alternative spell checker command.
- -t (--tempfile)
- Always save changed buffer without prompting. Same as Pico's -t option.
- -v (--view)
- View file (read only) mode.
- -w (--nowrap)
- Disable wrapping of long lines.
- -x (--nohelp)
- Disable help screen at bottom of editor.
- -z (--suspend)
- Enable suspend ability.
- -a, -b, -e, -f, -g, -j
-
Ignored, for compatibility with Pico.
INITIALIZATION FILE
nano will read initialization files in the following order: SYSCONFDIR/nanorc, then ~/.nanorc. Please see nanorc(5) and the example file nanorc.sample, both of which should be provided with nano.NOTES
If no alternative spell checker command is specified on the command line or in one of the nanorc files, nano will check the SPELL environment variable for one.In some cases nano will try to dump the buffer into an emergency file. This will happen mainly if nano receives a SIGHUP or SIGTERM or runs out of memory. It will write the buffer into a file named nano.save if the buffer didn't have a name already, or will add a ".save" suffix to the current filename. If an emergency file with that name already exists in the current directory, it will add ".save" plus a number (e.g. ".save.1") to the current filename in order to make it unique. In multibuffer mode, nano will write all the open buffers to their respective emergency files.

Installing Batik
System requirements
Batik requires the following to be already installed in your system:
- Java Runtime Environment
-
A Java 1.3 or above compatible runtime environment must be present. Note that to support the following features a Java 1.4 or above JRE is required:
- SVG 1.2 mouse wheel events
Choosing a distribution to download
To install Batik, you will need to go to the download page and download one or more ZIP file containing the distribution of your choice. It is good practice to verify the integrity of the distribution files, especially if you are using one of our mirror sites. Here are the various components you will find in the download area and their intended use:
-
batik-version.zip (e.g., batik-1.6.zip)
The binary distribution contains compiled executable JAR files that let you get started with Batik easily. This is the recommended distribution if you want to look at Batik’s features, or you want to experiment with SVG and see the fun things you can do with Batik. The binary distribution comes with a set of sample SVG files.
-
batik-src-version.zip (e.g., batik-src-1.6.zip)
The source distribution contains a complete snapshot of the Batik source code, documentation, regression tools and utilities as well as the script for building Batik. That distribution is a snapshot of the SVN repository. This is the recommended distribution for developers who want to dive into the code and understand how Batik can be integrated in their applications or how Batik can be extended.
-
batik-docs-version.zip (e.g., batik-docs-1.6.zip)
The documentation bundle contains a copy of the Javadoc for the Batik source code.
We make nightly copies of the source tree available from the Apache build server. These builds represent the current state of development and may or may not be as stable as releases. There are two types of distributions provided:
-
batik-svn-date.zip (e.g., batik-svn-06-03-29.zip)
This contains a complete copy of the Subversion repository trunk, including support for running regard, Batik’s regression testing utility. In particular this includes all the reference images for testing. Developers are encouraged to get these or better use Subversion directly.
-
batik-src-date.zip (e.g., batik-src-06-03-29.zip)
This contains all the source code and libraries needed to build and run Batik from source, but does not include the testing facilities.
Older releases are available from the Apache archives. However, we strongly recommend using the current release of Batik.
In all cases, the user should:
- Make sure a Java Development Kit (JDK) is installed on the computer where Batik will be installed. See the system requirements. Make sure that the java runtime is in the PATH environment variable.
- Select the directory where he/she wants to download the distribution.
- Download the desired distribution from the download page.
- Download the associated PGP signature (.asc) and KEYS file (preferable) or MD5 hash (.md5). This must be done directly from the Apache download area to mean anything.
- Open a console and go to the directory where the distribution was downloaded.
- Verify the integrity of the distribution.
-
Unpack the distribution with Java’s JAR utility:
jar xvf <distribution>
For example, if you have downloaded batik-1.6.zip into /home/IamHere, type the following at the command prompt:
cd /home/IamHere jar xvf batik-1.6.zip
IMPORTANT: UNIX users, do not use the unzip utility to unpack the various Batik zip files, as this would not set the directories access rights properly.
-
If you are using Mac OS X, you can now generate an application bundle for Squiggle, Batik's SVG browser:
sh lib/make-squiggle-app.sh
After running this script, a Finder window will be opened where you can find the generated Squiggle application bundle. Drag this to your Applications folder to install it.
- Now you can follow the instructions specific to the application you want to use. For example, see the SVG Browser page or the SVG Rasterizer page for an explanation on how to use these tools.
Optional components
By default, the Batik source distribution comes with the Mozilla Rhino JavaScript Engine (js.jar).
To enable other scripting languages support, you will only need to install the correct jar files in lib directory of Batik and recompile your distribution.
- For Python, you need to download Jython distribution at http://www.jython.org/. Then you put the jython.jar file in the Batik lib directory.
- For Tcl, you need to download Jacl & TclBlend distribution at http://dev.scriptics.com/software/java/. Then you put the jacl.jar and tcljava.jar files in the Batik lib directory.
Conversely, you can remove the js.jar of the Batik lib directory to remove JavaScript support and have a smaller distribution.
Jar file dependency graph
The Batik distribution comes with many jar files. Not all of them are needed in every case (although the provided applications tend to use most of them). The following is a diagram showing the dependencies between the various jar files in the Batik binary distribution (it also shows the major package interdependencies for source developers).
Jar files in white boxes are library jar files that Batik includes from external sources. The light blue boxes correspond to library jar files (those found in the lib directory of a binary distribution) built from Batik source code. The dark blue boxes represent the application jar files.
When boxes touch, the box on top depends on the box below it (there is no horizontal touching). Arrows also indicate dependencies (the source of the arrow depends on the destination). In some cases a thick underline with an arrow is used to indicate that a large number of jar files share a common dependency, this however does not indicate any dependency between the jar files underlined.
It is worth pointing out that a determined/clever programmer may be able to pare down some of these dependencies. For example the batik-dom.jar depends on xerces.jar because of the SAXDocumentFactory class in org.apache.batik.dom.util. If you didn’t need to parse XML it would be possible to ignore or break this dependency and still use the batik-dom.jar file for its DOM implementation.
Verify releases
It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded files using the PGP or MD5 signatures.
The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First download the KEYS as well as the asc signature file for the particular distribution you choose. Make sure you get these files from the main distribution directory, rather than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures using:
pgpk -a KEYS pgpv batik-1.6.zip.asc
or
pgp -ka KEYS pgp batik-1.6.zip.ascor
gpg --import KEYS pgp batik-1.6.zip.asc
or
gpg --import KEYS gpg --verify batik-1.6.zip.asc
Alternatively, you can verify the MD5 signature on the files. A UNIX program called md5 or md5sum is included in many UNIX distributions. It is also available as part of GNU Textutils. Windows users can get binary md5 programs from here, here, or here.
We recommend using PGP signatures as they can provide a much higher level of assurance compared with MD5.


INDEPENDENCE DAY A film review by P. Clark Copyright 1996 P. Clark
Independance Day is one of this summer's great combination movies. The film features plenty of fast action, heartfelt laughs, sweet romance and go-get-em-tiger heroism. In addition, you could take a kid to see it because there just isn't any gratuitous gore. I think the rest of the industry could take a lesson from this one: Guess what, Charlie, you don't have to have flying limbs to make 'em jump out of their seats! I have heard other critics making mock of the romance elements in this film, and I think that they need a reality check. If one day, God help us, anything like ID4 did happen I know I'd be real worried about my family, even if I was president of the USA. Bill Pullman plays the Pres and I thought he was refreshing, a brave man who is more interested in the welfare of the human race than in the next popularity poll. Will Smith puts in an amusing performance as a fighter pilot who turns out to have serious guts. Again, I don't think his craziness is entirely illogical; after all, Marines have long been known for being out-of-the-ordinary. Maybe an authentic Marine would say Will's a softie, but I still think real men are allowed to have feelings. Jeff Goldblum plays a brilliant if unambitious MIT brain, who has lost his wife (Margaret Colin) to the glamor of Washington. Three cheers for the not-so-average heroism he displays as he fights his way upstream into an evacuating city to bring vital news to the powers-that-be, and then goes along on the mission to deliver the killing blow to the aliens. At least his wife has the brains to realize what she nearly lost and lets him know how she feels before it's too late.  All three put in believable and humourous performances. Um, yeah, I did say believable. ID4 itself requires that all disbelief be left at the door. We have to swallow a really amazing string of coincidences (you'll know what I mean when you see the movie) but Hollywood has long required that of its audience. What is important is that ID4 is in something of a unique class, a feel-good thriller (?!), and since I am capable of making a leap of faith, I enjoyed it. If you're not too demanding that a film be high art, you will too.
