To do......
When I was doing my project within a tech company I received a lot of encouragement and praise for my work. I did not know computing was a male-dominated field. I discovered the gender gap in computing; gettingmore girls interested in computing is one of my passions. So I started worked with NGO 'Bhumi' from 2016 to 2018. Every weekend since then I have been teaching the underprivileged girls at the orphanage in Pune, India the basics of Computer Science.
During the second year I took the lead and helped the NGO to design the syllabus. Seeing the girls enjoy learning about computers warmed my heart. Some of the girls even bagged scholarship for their undergraduation in Computer Science. This is one of the most fullfilling momemnts of my life.
Working as a Teaching Assistant. Responsible for conducting the class for 'Basic Programming Langauge'.
I was elected as Sports Secrety of college for 3 consecutive years. I was responsible for managing and conducting the sports events held at the college.

Camel of the desert
Plod across the hot sand
looking at the blood red sun
Feel the heat seeping
into your bones
from the blood red sun,
see the dunes
growing larger
engulfing the blood red sun
into night.
Night falls
in the desert
and the sand begins to cool
The wind whispers stories
of magical lamps,
buried deep in the Arabian sand.
The sand is cold
on feet
through the thin soles
of sandals
the stars smile shyly
through the veil
of darkened sky
to light up the desert sand.

The sun rises
over the dunes
to uncover
the secrets
left behind
the Arabian nights.

Introduction
This topic explains how to enable additional data collection or instrumentation on the MapR converged data platform. These instructions apply to Unravel Server v4.0. For older versions of Unravel Server, contact Unravel Support.
- Enable additional instrumentation on Unravel Server’s host.
- Enter correct value for Hive Metastore, Resource Manager and Oozie properties.
- Confirm that Unravel Web UI shows additional data.
- Confirm and adjust the settings in
yarn-site.xml
. - Enable additional instrumentation on other hosts in the cluster.
1. Enable Additional Instrumentation on Unravel Server’s Host
confluence-information-macro confluence-information-macro-note
Substitute valid values for:
UNRAVEL_HOST_IP
-fully qualified domain name or IP addressSPARK_VERSION_X.Y.Z
- target Spark version, e.g.,1.3.0, 1.6.0, 2.0.1.HIVE_VERSION
_X.Y.Z
- target Hive version, e.g., 1.2.0.
For Sensor Upgrade only
Dry-Run (test/check instrumentation, this does not change any configuration file):
confluence-information-macro confluence-information-macro-information
Hive hook jar is installed under:
/usr/local/unravel_client/
Resource metrics sensor jars are installed under:
``/usr/local/unravel-agent/ ``
Configuration changes (for MapR 5.2/MapR 6.0) are made to the following files, (<
SPARK_VERSION X.Y.Z>
, etc., is your particular version)``/opt/mapr/spark/spark-<SPARK VERSION X.Y.Z>/conf/spark-defaults.conf ``
``/opt/mapr/hive/hive-<HIVE VERSION X.Y>/conf/hive-site.xml ``
/opt/mapr/hive/hive-<HIVE VERSION X.Y>/conf/hive-env.sh
/opt/mapr/hadoop/hadoop-<HADOOP VERSION X.Y.Z>/etc/hadoop/yarn-site.xml
/opt/mapr/hadoop/hadoop-<HADOOP VERSION X.Y.Z>/etc/hadoop/mapred-site.xml
/usr/local/unravel/etc/unravel.properties
Copy of original configuration is saved in same directory named
*.preunravel
, e.g.,/opt/mapr/hive/hive-1.2/conf/hive-site.xml.preunravel
Once the files are present on edge host where Unravel rpm is installed, you can tar
tar
these changes/additions up and put on other hosts, if that is more convenient than running the script. In all cases, instrumented nodes must be able to open port 4043 of Unravel Server (host2 if multi-host Unravel install).
2. Confirm that Unravel Web UI Shows Additional Data
Run a Hive job using a test script provided by Unravel Server:
This is where you can see the effects of the instrumentation setup. Best practice is to run this test script on Unravel Server rather than on a gateway/edge/client node. That way you can verify that instrumentation is working first, and then enable instrumentation on other gateway/edge/client nodes.
confluence-information-macro confluence-information-macro-information
someUser
must be user that can create tables in the default database. If you need to use a different database, copy the script and edit it to change the target database.This script creates a uniquely named table in the default database, adds some data, runs a Hive query on it, and then deletes the table.
It runs the query twice using different workflow tags so you can clearly see the two different runs of the same workflow in Unravel Web UI.
3. Confirm and Adjust the Settings in
yarn-site.xml
Check specific properties in
/opt/mapr/hadoop/hadoop-2.7.0/etc/hadoop/yarn-site.xml
to be sure that these settings are present (with your
particular values for your Resource Manager web app
address):
yarn.resourcemanager.webapp.address
:yarn.log-aggregation-enable
:
4. Enable Additional Instrumentation on Other Hosts in the Cluster
confluence-information-macro confluence-information-macro-information
To instrument more servers, you can use the setup script we provide or see the effect it has and replicate it using your own provisioning automation system. If you already have a way to customize and deployhive-site.xml
,yarn-site.xml
and user defined function jars, you can add the changes and jar from Unravel to your existing mechanism.
- Run the shell script
unravel_mapr_setup.sh
on each node of the cluster, just like it was run on the Unravel server above. - Copy the newly edited
yarn-site.xml
, from step 3, to all nodes. - Do a rolling-restart of HiveServer2
5. Enable Instrumentation manually by updating the following files:
hive-site.xml
hive-env.sh
spark-defaults.conf
hadoop-env.sh
mapred-site.xml
confluence-information-macro confluence-information-macro-information
Once the files are updated on edge host where Unravel rpm is installed, you can
scp
these changes/additions and put on other hosts (backup original files in case need to rollback), In all cases, instrumented nodes must be able to open port 4043 of Unravel Server (host2 if multi-host Unravel install).confluence-information-macro confluence-information-macro-note
Be sure to substitute valid values for:
UNRAVEL_HOST_IP
-fully qualified domain name or IP addressSPARK_VERSION_X.Y.Z
- target Spark version, e.g.,1.3.0, 1.6.0, 2.0.1.HIVE_VERSION
_X.Y.Z
- target Hive version, e.g., 1.2.0.
Update hive-site.xml
Copy the content
in /usr/local/unravel/hive-hook/hive-site.xml.snip
and
append it in
/opt/mapr/hive/hive-HIVE_VERSION
_X.Y.Z
/conf/hive-site.xml
right before </configuration> (replace
{UNRAVEL_HOST_IP
}).
Update hive-env.sh
In /opt/mapr/hive/hive-HIVE_VERSION
_X.Y.Z/conf/hive-env.sh
append the following; substituting your local values
({HIVE_VERSION_X.Y.Z}
).
Update spark-defaults.conf
In /opt/mapr/spark/spark-SPARK_VERSION
_X.Y.Z/conf/
spark-defaults.conf
append the following; substituting your local values
where noted ({UNRAVEL_HOST_IP}
and
{SPARK_VERSION_X.Y.Z}
).
Update hadoop-env.sh
In
/opt/mapr/hadoop/hadoop-HADOOP_VERSION
_X.Y.Z/etc/hadoop/hadoop-env.sh
append the following; substituting your local values
where noted({HIVE_VERSION_X.Y.Z}
).
Update mapred-site.xml
In /opt/mapr/hadoop/hadoop-HADOOP_VERSION
_X.Y.Z/etc/hadoop/mapred-site.xml
append the following; substituting your local values
where noted ({UNRAVEL_HOST_IP}
).
confluence-information-macro confluence-information-macro-note
Make sure the original value ofyarn.app.mapreduce.am.command-opts
** **is preserved, by appending the java agent setup rather than replacing the original value.

My Story with Computer Games¶
I should be considered as those who early access to the computer among my peers. In 1999 or earlier, when I was about 5 years old, my family purchased a desktop computer. That's when I was introduced to computers.
At that time, the computer at home was running Windows 95/98. The monitor looked like a square, the computer chasis was placed horizontally, and floppy disks were used to store files - some of my friends of the same age who were late to computers don't even have these memories at all, because the shape of computers changed so quickly afterwards.
Note
I was particularly impressed with the floppy disk, as it really was a nice detachable (please don't) toy for me at that age. DISCLAIMER: No data was damaged during my disassembly. Because my father put all the floppies with data out of my reach, all I could get were empty floppies.
But soon I matured and stopped playing with such boring toys as floppy disks; because apparently the little ball that can be taken out of the mouse is much more interesting.
I can still remember that the first graphic game I got to play on the Windows 98 computer in my home was Virtua Cop (Chinese name: "VR特警"), a first-person shooter game released by Sega in 1994.
Laptops that I have used:
The first laptop I saw was a Lenovo brand. It was my father's silver laptop, a top-level spec at the time, with 1GB of RAM.
I first officially owned a laptop when I graduated from high school in 2012. It was an ASUS notebook table fitted with an i7-4700HQ Intel processor. Its motherboard was damaged while viewing an external hard drive in 2015.
One of my subsequent laptops was an MSI QE62 purchased in late 2015, at a time when gaming/performance laptops were popular. It was of incredibly good quality. After 6 years of intense daily (code, gaming & video) use, it only came with a damaged keyboard & mechanical hard drive.
I added an NVME SSD to it, so I needed to turn on the fan to get it to cool properly under high load. i7-6700HQ processors are not worth mentioning these days, but the GTX 960M graphics card can still handle most of my graphics or and machine learning tasks.
The MSI laptop still works (as of 2022) but it is too heavy to carry. I got a Lenovo C740 transforming laptop in late 2019. Thin and light, long battery life, reverse foldable touch screen, and 16GB RAM. A very nice portable computer.
Afterglow of Game Disks¶
At the beginning of the 2000s, the market for selling game CDs was very messy. It was hard to tell whether the game discs were genuine or not from their appearance, but nowadays, if you recall, they were probably mostly pirated.
Through these game CDs/DVDs, I was exposed to many single-player games. The games that I still remember include: Beachhead 2002 (抢滩登录2002), Delta Force (三角洲部队), Hitman: Codename 47 (杀手代号47), DemonStar (恶魔之星, once mistranslated as 雷电3)... Wait, why are they all shooting games? Well, ask my father, because I didn't have the pocket money to buy the game discs at the time.
One of the major drawbacks of the game discs is that most of them just contain single player games. So, although we felt that computer games were only just becoming familiar to everyone by way of game discs, the era of game discs had actually come to an end. With the construction of the Internet and incoming LAN games, PC game CDs soon ceased to be popular and almost disappeared into history.
LAN Games: Flash in the Pan¶
With the development of the Internet, online gaming in LAN network has become possible. Since it is difficult to have multiple computers in an individual's home, this has contributed to the popularity of Internet cafes to some extent.
The uncrowned king of the LAN gaming era is probably the first-person shooters (FPS) represented by Half-Life (半条命/半衰期) and Counter-Strike (CS, 反恐精英). They were both developed by Valve, the parent company of the Steam gaming platform. These games had overwhelming dominance in the LAN gaming world at the time. If you head to an Internet cafe, you can see almost half of the players playing them.
However, I was no longer a fan of shooting games at the time, probably because I had tried too many FPS game CDs at home (laughs). What I noticed was that the other half of the people in the Internet cafe were playing: that is, real-time strategy (RTS) games.
It was around 2003 that I first encountered the computer game I was deeply obsessed with, and that was Age of Empires 2 (帝国时代2, AOE 2). It is no exaggeration to say that RTS games were the only game genre that could compete with shooters at that time. And the three kings of the RTS world are:
Starcraft (星际争霸) and Warcraft (魔兽争霸) by Blizzard, who was famous for its World of Warcraft (魔兽世界);
Command & Conquer: Red Alert (命令与征服：红色警戒) by EA, who was famous for its FIFA, Need for Speed (极品飞车) and many others;
Age of Empires series by the Ensemble Studios under Microsoft, who was later developed Halo Wars (光环战争).
Why there are four games for the three kings? Yes, a common knowledge is that three kings are usually four.
Age of Empires 2 reached the peak of its popularity in its history after its The Conquerors expansion spread out. That is also my most favorite version of AOE. Unfortunately, its sequel, Age of Empires 3 in 2005, which was once expected by players to be the last hope to save the RTS edifice from falling, turned out to be a work with only graphics quality but collapsed gameplay. Players were so disappointed that they refused to accept a work like Age of Empires 3, and still used Age of Empires 2 in LAN gaming as well as in all competitive matches.
Here is a screenshot from the "Wololo" legion in AOE2:
I've never been a fan of the third generation either. Even though my handling level has dropped dramatically now (which is almost fatal for RTS game player versus player), I still love Age of Empires 2, keep it installed on my computer and will open it up now and then to play against different levels of AI. Even though my handling level has dropped dramatically now (which is almost fatal for RTS game player versus player), I still love Age of Empires 2, keep it installed on my computer and will open it up now and then to play against different levels of AI. The best I could do was to beat the "barbarian" AI (no cheating) in a 1 vs 1 game, but I probably can't even beat the extremely hard default AI now.
LAN games were overwhelmed by the onslaught of Internet games that came after. As of 2022, only Warcraft and Age of Empires are still maintaining gameplay updates among the RTS giants of yesteryear. Although I still don't like shooting games, Counter-Strike is probably the most shining symbol that has been passed down from that era.
Online Games: Ups and Downs¶
For a long time after 2005, Internet games became the absolute topic of domination among our group of boys. It was very difficult for kids of that era to resist the temptation of being able to communicate online in these games when they couldn't meet their friends in person.
Before 2006, the only online games that I have played for a long time is Paopaotang (泡泡堂). I actually found Fantasy Westward Journey (梦幻西游) interestring, but it is very time consuming AND costly, so forget it.
During my middle school, I liked KartRider (跑跑卡丁车) most. I had been practicing my in-game drifting skills for a while, just to get a timing score that I could show off to my friends in the maps Forest Hairpin (森林发卡) and Mine Twist and Slide (矿山曲折滑坡).
MapleStory (冒险岛) was also popular at that time, but that's a game you have to play with friends to beat the boredom of grinding and tasks.
Actually many of my friends were playing World of Warcraft (魔兽世界, WOW) during the time. I like MMORPG-style games, but you need to pay for online playtime in WOW. Come on, in those days when video games were seen as a real enemy to children's health, my family would not give me money to keep throwing into a video game. My play time was in fact quite limited, so unfortunately, this kind of large map exploration, multiplayer quest game was not for me at that time.
Because I live on campus during the high school, and at that time the laptop is still somehow considered as luxury, I didn't have laptop in my campus apartment. Thus, I didn't play games in the high school. However, I knew my friends were play DotA or League of Legends (英雄联盟).
When I went to the university, I also played some online games on Steam, like World of Warships (战舰世界).
Mobile Games: A New Era¶
After 2012, When I entered the university, smartphones are developing very fast and their graphics processing units were fully capable of supporting mobile games with gorgeous images. Here is a list of games that I have played for a period time:
Hearthstone (炉石传说): Yes I like card games. Since I felt that the mechanics of Yu-Gi-Oh! (游戏王) and Magic The Gathering (万智牌) are a bit too complicated, I did start playing from Hearthstone.
Fate Grand Order (命运/冠位指定, FGO): Saying FGO is known as a miracle in the ACG background game is not too much. Of course, the playability of FGO itself is not good. I can only say that with the excellent story background of Fate and a strong audience base, DW is almost earning money while lying down and doing little work. By the way, I like Tohsaka Rin (远坂凛) because I watched Fate series anime, not because of FGO.
Warship Girls R / Azur Lane (战舰少女R / 碧蓝航线): I had a great fascination with war games for a while, probably starting with World of Warships. Battleships (including aircraft carriers) are probably the largest self-propelled weapons ever built by mankind, and it is amazing to say that human technology has reached such extremes in the creation of weapons. Battleship personification is a subculture born from Kantai Collection (舰队收藏, KanColle); although this sounds a bit weird, it does allow one to gain more insight into that grand history where battleships were king. However, warships as weapons may represent killing and aggression, or defense and resistance; we need to be clear about the role they have played in history.
Arknights (明日方舟)：I played it becuase I thought it would be a tower defense game like Plants vs Zombies; but in reality, you can't trust any card-drawing game to advertise and boast about itself. But anyway, it can barely be considered a mobile game in the puzzle category.
Even though mobile games have ushered in a new era, I still enjoy traditional computer games some. Many mobile games are completely money-oriented and give up too much storytelling and gameplay for that reason.

Complete all steps in the solution for the curvy copter. It is easy to see which faces of the curvy copter 3 correspond to those of the original curvy copter. All that will remain to be solved are the little peddal peices and the center peices.
Solve the center peices using 2[RU,LU]
and its obvious varients. This just tri-cycles center peices. I find it easiest to solve two centers on opposite sides of the cube before solving the position of the rest.
This is the most time-consuming part of the puzzle. Letting X=(2/3)RU,(2/3),LF,FU,(2/3)RUi,(2/3)LFi
, a little-peddal-tri-cycle is given by 2[FU,LU],X,(2[FU,LU])i,Xi
.
Do as much as you can just with this sequence. (You'll never need its symmetric varient, because you can just change your orientation of the entire puzzle.) Eventually, however, you'll need to start using setup moves. The setups becomes harder near the end of the solve, but they're never too terribly difficult. Note that you may need to use the special move in a setup, so it helps to know how that kind of sequence moves the little peddals around.

In this example we will show which economic activities contribute the most the greenhouse emissions in Belgium. We want to how much the increase of one unit of production will increase the CO2-equivalent of various greenhouse gases, not only CO2 itself, but also methane (CH4), Nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases (e.g., chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, and halons). While we talk most about CO2, the greenhouse gas that is emitted in the greatest quantity, but it is not the only culprit for global warming. Especially fluorinated gases have a high potential to increase the greenhouse effect.
The following expression will import the symmetric input-output table for Belgium. The `stk_flow = “TOTAL”`` makes clear that we are not only considering effects in the domestic (Belgian) economy, but imports, too. More about importing and working with matrixes can be found in the articles (Introduction to iotables, Working with Eurostat Data.)
# For faster building this data has been loaded from "../extdata/environmental_impact_vignette.rda"
<- iotable_get(source = "naio_10_cp1700", geo = "BE",
BE year =2015,
labelling = "short", unit = "MIO_EUR",
stk_flow = "TOTAL")
The following expression gets the the greenhouse gas emissions in
\(CO_2\)-equivalent thousand tons for
Belgium in 2020. Under the hood, we download the air emissions accounts
from the Eurostat data warehouse. AEA present data on air emissions in a
way that is fully compatible with the concepts, principles and data of
the national accounts, but needs further adjustment to input-output
tables, which is accomplished by airpol_get()
# For faster building this data has been loaded from "../extdata/environmental_impact_vignette.rda"
<- airpol_get(airpol="GHG", geo="BE", year=2020, unit="THS_T") ghg
See ?airpol_get
for the type of air pollutants that you
can add to a European standard SIOT. In this case, we will first use the
calculated CO2-equivalent of mix of gases. We are calculating in
thousands of tons in this case (unit="THS_T"
).
The direct effects will show how many thousand tons of extra
greenhouse gases will be produced with each millions of euros of extra
output from Belgium’s industries. We are adding with
rows_add()
the greenhouse gas vector in a conforming form
to inter-industry matrix of Belgium. We will only print the top five
emitters.

#> 3 GHG_emission_indicator CPA_H51 1.15
#> 4 GHG_emission_indicator CPA_C23 1.15
#> 5 GHG_emission_indicator CPA_D 1.14
In Belgium (based on the last known, 2015 structure of the economy, but considering 2020 emission levels) the most green-house gas intensive sectors are the usual suspects, but with a bit surprising top emitter.
| NACE code | Industry |
|---|---|
| A03 | Fishing and aquaculture |
| A01 | Crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities |
| H51 | Air transport |
| C23 | Manufacture of other non-metallic mineral products |
| D | Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply |
This is not the full picture, because the indicator only considers the direct green-house gas emissions (carbon dioxide, methane, and others) of the primary economic activities, but not the emissions of the upstream, supplier part of the value chain (backward linkages) and the economic activities in the downstream, buyer part of the value chain (forward linkages.)
The category of Manufacture of other non-metallic mineral products in itself requires a bit of explanation: it may be many sort of economic activity such as the transformation of mined or quarried nonmetallic minerals (such as sand, gravel, stone, clay, and refractory materials) with grinding, mixing, cutting, shaping, and honing into products for intermediate or final consumption. So we are talking about building products.
Let’s make a reality check, and calculate only with CO2:
<- airpol_get(airpol="CO2", geo="BE", year=2020, unit = "THS_T") co2
<- BE %>%
be_io_c supplementary_add(co2)
<- input_indicator_create (
co2_indicator data_table = be_io_c,
input_row = "CO2_emission")
#> Columns and rows of CPA_U are all zeros and will be removed.
# Only the top 5 is printed:
%>%
co2_indicator vector_transpose_longer( .keep = TRUE ) %>%
rename ( CO2_emission_indicator = .data$value ) %>%
arrange ( -.data$CO2_emission_indicator ) %>%
top_n(5)
#> Selecting by CO2_emission_indicator
#> # A tibble: 5 × 3
#> prod_na nace_r2 CO2_emission_indicator
#> <chr> <chr> <dbl>
#> 1 CO2_emission_indicator CPA_A03 1.52
#> 2 CO2_emission_indicator CPA_C23 1.14
#> 3 CO2_emission_indicator CPA_H51 1.12
#> 4 CO2_emission_indicator CPA_D 1.08
#> 5 CO2_emission_indicator CPA_H50 0.748
Crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities falls out, and CPA_H50 Water transport comes back. Are those barges really so clean? And what happened with the agriculture?
Let’s check methane, which is a far more potent green house gas than CO2.
<- airpol_get (airpol = "CH4", geo="BE", year = 2020, unit = "THS_T") methane
<- BE %>%
be_io_m supplementary_add(methane)
<- input_indicator_create (
methane_indicator data_table = be_io_m,
input_row = "CH4_emission")
#> Columns and rows of CPA_U are all zeros and will be removed.
# Only the top 5 is printed:
%>%
methane_indicator vector_transpose_longer( .keep = TRUE ) %>%
rename(CH4_emission_indicator = .data$value) %>%
arrange(-.data$CH4_emission_indicator) %>%
top_n(5)
#> Selecting by CH4_emission_indicator
#> # A tibble: 5 × 3
#> prod_na nace_r2 CH4_emission_indicator
#> <chr> <chr> <dbl>
#> 1 CH4_emission_indicator CPA_A01 0.0233
#> 2 CH4_emission_indicator CPA_E37-39 0.00382
#> 3 CH4_emission_indicator CPA_D 0.00165
#> 4 CH4_emission_indicator CPA_B 0.00137
#> 5 CH4_emission_indicator CPA_A02 0.000184
| NACE code | Industry |
|---|---|
| A01 | Crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities |
| CPA_E37-39 | Sewerage, waste management, remediation activities |
| D | Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply |
| CPA_B | Mining and quarrying |
| CPA_A02 | Forestry and logging |
The appearance of Mining and quarrying is important, because it is the main input for the Manufacture of other non-metallic mineral products. Their effect may or may not be combined in Belgium, because the Belgian manufacturers can import mined or quarried products, too.
The multiplier considers these indirect effects, too. The top five polluters remain the same, but their ordering changes. Crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities goes ahead of Fishing and aquaculture—because methane is a more potent green house gas than CO2. Cattle and sheep emit plenty of methane, and there are plenty of cattle and sheep in Belgium. The reason why it is important to consider these effects for each and every country, or, when possible, for regions, is that different countries produce different crops and animals. Producing poultry is far less problematic from a green house emission point of view than producing beef products.
As expected, the Manufacture of other non-metallic mineral products gets ahead of Air transport as it is highly interrelated with Mining and quarrying. Making building more sustainable would be a great achievement, but there is no really clear path: as we can see, Forestry and logging come with their problems, too.

Abstract:
The SQL Server database engine uses latches for internal synchronization to critical operations. So why would you care about what a latch is?  Come to this advanced session exploring the internals of how SQL Server uses the concept of latches for synchronization of key internal data structures. This talk is a very advanced “500” session that may include the use of advanced diagnostics such the Windows debugger and discussion of Windows APIs. I will assume the audience has a basic working knowledge of the SQL Server engine including an understanding of some of the more common SQL Server Engine DMVs such as sys.dm_exec_sessions, sys.dm_exec_requests

Full title is "Are you a Linchpin? Career management lessons to help you become indispensible." Are consultants better that people who work for ‘regular’ companies? Perhaps it is the other way around? No classification of IT worker is inherently smarter or better than another. However, I believe that many successful SQL Server professionals share similar characteristics that shape their careers and success. Of course they have interesting differences as well! This session explores 20 years of my ideas, learning, and research on this topic. The session also shares the experience of several top SQL Server professions as they share personal thoughts on what has made them indispensible. This is a panel session.

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.

Abstract:
When queried, most database professionals would mention normalized as one of the most important characteristics that tell the difference between a good and bad database design. I won't disagree in the least, but there is so much more to be considered. Even if you did a great job of normalization, poor naming, poorly implemented keys, too many or too few indexes, and so on can derail your design. In this session I will present seven primary characteristics of a design that differentiates between an ugly design that will have your colleagues nitpicking you to death and one that will have them singing your praises. Characteristics such as comprehendible, documented, secure, well performing, and more will be discussed

Have you ever encountered a wait type with SQL Server but can’t find any information on what it means? Perhaps you have thought the meaning of these is hidden away somewhere in a dark closet? In this talk, we will explore the internals of wait types within the SQL Server Engine. Rather than cover some of the more common wait types such as lock and latches, we will explore the more advanced and obscure wait types that may be surfaced by the engine. The ones you can’t find much information about.

What does a plane crash have to do with technical skills? You might be surprised. There are many lessons to be learned from disasters. Most accidents are caused not by one factor, but by a series of seemingly-small missteps; It’s the same for us. Even if a freak accident occurs, training and preparation can make all the difference; it's the same for us. In this session we’ll discuss as a group some real-life disasters and see what skills, attitudes and thought processes we can take back to our day jobs. We'll look at a handful of aviation disasters and look for patterns of behavior at fault or that saved the day. Hopefully you'll leave looking for those behaviors in yourself and on your project teams. Fasten your seatbelt!

SQL Server on VMware??? Many of our customers are either virtualizing databases or planning to do so soon. I hear from many groups that attempted running their database on VMware but went back to physical hardware because of performance issues. There are many reasons this may have happened, but quite often the decision to go back to physical was not based on hard facts. This presentation will explore the fundamentals of monitoring databases running in a VMware environment. If you are using classic O/S monitoring tools, you may be getting misleading data. Understand what metrics are important and how to get to that data.

Microsoft SQL Server is easier to administrate than any other relational database on the market. But “easier than everyone else” doesn’t mean it’s easy. And it doesn’t mean that database administration on SQL Server is problem free. And since SQL Server is constantly growing from small, home-grown applications, many IT professionals end up encountering issues that others had tackled and solved years ago. Why not learn from those who first blazed the trails of database administration, so that we don’t make the same mistakes over and over again. In fact, wouldn’t you like to learn about those mistakes before they ever happen?
Speaker(s): Kevin Kline,
Abstract:
You know the concepts of normalization, logical modeling, and physical implementation. But what happens when you’ve inherited a less than perfect data model? You need to renovate while keeping the production system humming. In this session, we’ll talk about how to evaluate an existing model, how to approach design when your system is up and running and how to incrementally apply database design changes in a fast-moving environment. Every database, even ones consisting of a collection of flat, unrelated tables, has the potential to become a beautiful database. All you need is an eye for design and a strategy to get you there.
Speaker(s): Audrey Hammonds,
Abstract:
SSIS is a great tool for transferring data from one data source to another, and for implementing complex ETL processes. However, for simple, straightforward data transfer tasks or packages that adhere to a pattern, creating SSIS packages by hand can be time-consuming and repetitious. By attending this session, you'll learn how to automate package creation in SSIS, including the dynamic generation of data flows. We’ll cover some of the free and open source tools available for this, and discuss “roll your own” options.

OutandOpen is an app that aimes to help you planning hiking tours. Wright now it's rather limited. However, lets see how OutandOpen evolves. Flow @ountandopen on twitter for updates.
A few words on navigation: whenever you see the i on a button or in a header you get backround information. The home sign in the headers brings you to the front page.
UpdateTo fillout your profile will help to find mountain tours for you, which you might enjoy. You can share your profile with your friends or make it public but you don't need to.
In the future there may be sophisticated ways to figure out how fit and experienced you are. Up to now you have to rate yourselfe.
Rate your physical fitness on a scale from 0 ("I am almost dead") to 10 ("I could start an himalaya expedition right now.").
As a roule of thumb you could devide the maximum altitude differenc you walked on a singel day by 300 (e.g tour starting at 500m reaching the peak at 1700m gives you a rating of 4).
Rate how experienced your are with mountains on a scale from 0 ("I have never seen one") to 10 ("I did the seven summits and some big walls."). If you have no clue what the "seven summits" are, you are probably closer to 0 then to 10 ;-).
Rate how compftable you are when it comes to hights. 0 means you freak out when you think of a mountain; 10 if you could walk on a slagline 500m abouve the ground without the slightest arousal.").

What about git?
Version control is an essential and beneficial tool to allow distributed development. With more people working on software at the same time great gains can be made. Version control allows this type of development without the risks or people working from bad code or people rewriting other people’s code.
Git helps you keep track of changes by creating waypoints during development that allow you to revert back to if anything breaks or goes wrong, which is quite likely in development. By allowing you to stage and then finally commit changes, it keeps track of your trail in case you would need to retrace it.
Github is a fantastic place to store code as it allows a failsafe cloud based storage solution (so you always know it is safe) and also allows for distributed development so many different people in any location can work on the same code and ensure it is version controlled across systems.

Configure > Throttle Response Directives
The throttle response handler performs per response traffic throttling, when an X-Traffic
header exists in the response headers.
The value of X-Traffic
header should be an integer that represents the speed you want in bytes per second. This header CAN be set with header.add
so that traffic for static assets can also be easily throttled.
The following are the configuration directives recognized by the handler.
since v2.1
"throttle-response"
- Description:
-
Enables traffic throttle per HTTP response.
If the argument is
ON
, the traffic per response is throttled as long as a legalX-Traffic
header exists. If the argument isOFF
, traffic throttle per response is disabled.# enable throttle throttle-response: ON # an example host configuration that throttle traffic to ~100KB/s hosts: default: paths: /: file.dir: /path/to/assets header.add: "X-Traffic: 100000"
- Level:
- global, host, path, extension
- Default:
throttle-response: OFF
