Abstract:
Within every Data Warehouse project there is always ETL development that is very repetitive in nature, for example, you need to import 20 different flat file exports from the ERP system, you need to load 15 dimensions into the data warehouse and so on. With Microsoft SSIS out-of-the-box, you are forced to create multiple individual packages which is very time consuming due to the lack of easy code reuse. In a typical BI project, the ETL implementation can easily take up 60% of the project time, so it is beneficial if the development time of similar SSIS packages can be cut down. Business Intelligence Markup Language (Biml) is an XML dialect for defining Business Intelligence assets across the Microsoft SQL Server platform In this session Craig will introduce you to Biml BimlScript, providing those new to Biml with a foundational understanding of what BIML is and what the benefits of using Biml are.
Speaker(s): Craig Bryden,
Abstract:
What can you do when you have an ever growing database, shrinking maintenance windows and increased demands from application queries? Enter "Table Partitioning"! In this session we’ll initially talk to the basics of how partitioning works, and why it may be beneficial to your database. We’ll then demonstrate real practical methods to show how partitioning techniques can be applied to tables and the positive and negative impacts partitioning will have to your database queries and design. We’ll then wrap up with a demonstration on leveraging partitioning for database maintenance operations such as optimisations and the implementation of partial database backups. This session will have a strong focus on real, practical, and hands-on partitioning methods and key concepts that DBA’s can apply from Day 1.
Speaker(s): Rolf Tesmer,
Abstract:
Are you concerned about moving to cloud, because of the safety of your data ? Organizations choose to go with the platform services of Azure using SQL Databases or they go with the Infrastructure services of Azure using virtual machines, in both cases security of your data is vital. This demo driven session will give you all the information you need to know about the security implementations available in SQL Databases in Azure and SQL Server. The session will cover the following topics with demos. Introduction to cloud adaptation of the organizations, - how enterprises adopt to the cloud and how startups are moving to the cloud. SQL relational store options in Azure. Security features of SQL Databases Cloud demanded security features of SQL Servers Using Azure Key Vault to secure data in SQL Server
Speaker(s): Vijayakumar Thurupathan,
Abstract:
Testing software is hard work. Testing BI solutions is even harder;there's lots of moving parts, the tools are thin and it takes a lot of time and effort. Software development uses unit testing and while this can be applied to the different parts of a BI solution, most people are more interested in the numbers the solution produces and proving that they are right. So can you validate the numbers in your BI solution? And can you do it quickly and easily? In this session we will cover an approach for automating the validation of your BI solution covering multiple scenarios with a hand full of demos. We will be using nUnit as a framework and some free codeplex tools, so we can run a suite of tests every time we load data into our BI platform. This is not continuous integration, and it is not unit testing in the true sense either. It is, instead, "continuous validation", and it can provide you with an awful lot of assurance for not very much extra effort.
Speaker(s): Dan de Sousa,
Abstract:
Columnstore indexing was first introduced in SQL Server 2012. The technology was designed to give significant performance gains for datawarehouse queries. This initial version required some creative thinking to get all of the promised performance gains. This meant that adoption rates were not that high. However, SQL Server 2014 added significant functionality, which SQL Server 2016 builds upon. Come along and get a lap around this feature and find out how its adoption could help your organisation. Attendees should leave this session will enough knowledge about the storage, architecture and query enhancements to implement a successful columnstore feature and administer it.
Speaker(s): Martin Catherall,
Abstract:
Machine Learning is a subfield of computer science concerned with systems that learn from data. In this session, learn how a Microsoft Azure Machine Learning solution comes to life: From the creation of a workspace, to the preparation of data, to experimentation with machine learning algorithms, and then finally to the integration and integration of predictive insights. This session has been specifically designed to describe machine learning fundamentals, and to help enable and inspire existing developers taking their first steps to leverage cloud-based predictive models delivered with Azure Machine Learning. It is guaranteed to thrill you with potential, and excite you with the relative ease in which it can be accomplished.
Speaker(s): Peter Myers,
Abstract:
Without a doubt SQL Server 2016 will be a monster of a release. It will easily eclipse all other versions of SQL Server that have been released in scope of features, technology and breadth of vision. No wonder Gartner has positioned Microsoft as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Operational Database Management Systems. More importantly, Microsoft is placed furthest in vision and highest for ability to execute within the Leaders Quadrant. In this session we will examine SQL Server 2016 and have a look at what's new in the Database Engine, Analysis Services, Reporting Services and Integration Services. We will highlight the "big ticket" items and discuss the business cases for using the technology and features. We will also discuss Microsoft's vision for the Data Platform and how SQL Server will evolve in the future.
Speaker(s): Victor Isakov,
Abstract:
In this talk we will look at how you can get started with writing your own queries against cubes. We will start from a basis of SQL queries and compare and contrast equivalent DAX and MDX queries. Being able to write your own queries is an important skill to know for the following reasons: • It makes it a lot easier to identify issues with your data, • It can provide a much faster way to test and develop measures, • It's an extremely effective way of doing performance tuning • It can extended your reporting capability by providing a means of extracting data that is difficult or impossible to do with GUI tools. As in the Matrix movie I'm inviting you to take the red pill and come with me on a journey. At the end of our session you should have an understanding of the basic concepts of querying cubes and how to get started writing your own queries.
Speaker(s): Darren Gosbell,
Abstract:
How do you optimize a DAX expression? This session will introduce you to the useful tools to measure performance, gathering data to find the bottlenecks and helping you in writing new optimized versions of DAX. Starting from SQL Profiler, you will learn which events are relevant for DAX, and how to collect them in different environments (Analysis Services, Power Pivot, Power BI). We will show DAX Studio, which simplify and speed-up the data collection process, and makes it easy to find bottlenecks in storage engine and formula engine. VertiPaq Analyzer and other small tools will be also used to collect other useful information. The goal of the session is to provide you a methodology to analyze performance of your DAX measures, to find the bottleneck and to identify the main reason of a performance issue.
Speaker(s): Marco Russo,
Abstract:
An Index can be the difference between your query returning in microseconds, seconds, minutes or hours! That makes them an incredibly powerful and often misunderstood part of the data driven application performance. In this session we'll review if you have the right indexes, or the wrong ones. We'll look at the internals of how indexes become fragmented and explain why this can have such a severe impact on the performance of your application and what you can do to combat that. You'll leave this session with a much better understanding of how your indexes work, and the knowledge and confidence to streamline your current Index optimization procedures to take your applications to new heights of performance.
Speaker(s): Rob Douglas,
Abstract:
Live Query Statistics is a new feature(ish) introduced in SQL Server 2016. In this lightning talk I will demonstrate the Live Query Statistics extracted from my DBA life made easier with 2016, Query Store and LQS. LQS will help in troubleshooting long running queries to pin point the pain points in the query execution even before the query completes the execution.
Speaker(s): Manohar Punna,
Abstract:
Having your SQL Server databases not available for business to be making money is not a good way to stay employed. Do you understand what features and options can assist you with keeping SQL Server Databases Available? In this session we will look at the options available to you currently to meet your Availability requirements using features being released in SQL Server 2016 to better provide high availability
Speaker(s): Warwick Rudd,
Abstract:
How to get a better insight about the current situation of organization by analysing the Data? How we can predict the next step? Machine Learning is a subfield of computer science, which is so pervasive today that you probably use it dozens of times a day without knowing it. Azure Machine Learning is a valuable tool that can be employed by data scientists with different skill levels. Azure ML also supports R custom code, which can be dropped directly into your workspace. In this session, I will show a demo of interaction of R language with Azure Machine Learning, uploading R package into Azure ML, preparation of the data in R, and How to publish a R code into Azure ML.
Speaker(s): Leila Etaati,
Abstract:
Maintaining a solid set of information about our servers and their performance is critical when issues arise, and often help us see a problem before it occurs. Building a baseline of performance metrics allows us to know when something is wrong and help us to track it down and fix the problem. 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.
Speaker(s): Allen White,
Abstract:
Clustering SQL Server still vexes many in one way or another. For some, it is even worse now that both AlwaysOn features - clustered instances (FCIs) and availability groups (AGs) - require an underlying Windows Server failover cluster. Storage, networking, Active Directory quorum, and more are topics that come up quite often. Learn from one of the world's experts on clustering SQL Server some the most important items - both good and bad - that you need to do to be successful whether you are creating an FCI, AG, or combining both together in one solution.
Speaker(s): Allan Hirt,

Speaker(s): Vikas Rajput,
Abstract:
By its nature, SQL Server installations on-prem can often require significant CapEx investment on a recurring basis. If you are considering the cloud then you want to ensure that you have received the maximum return from that investment before you switch to a fully OpEx model. Hybrid solutions can let you scale and migrate your SQL Server workloads into Azure while still getting the maximum return from your on-prem infrastructure.
Speaker(s): Martin Cairney,

Speaker(s): Kristina Rumpff,
Abstract:
FearOps is a fear of change, a fear of manual/automated deploys going anywhere near production systems. DevOPs is about breaking down the silos of mistrust between development and operations teams and aligning the two teams around delivering a product to market faster. It is about a cultural shift as much as a process and technological one. In this session we will look at some of the challenges implementing DevOps, the benefits of it, and how it can help you remove FearOps from your organisation.
Speaker(s): Hamish Watson,
Abstract:
Do you want to test hardware upgrades, index tuning or multi-client applications? Would you like to do this with data specific to your organization? Distributed Replay, introduced in SQL Server 2012, is a tool that will allow you to accomplish exactly that. In this session, we will cover why you should use it, how to set it up, and what types of data to collect for testing and replay. This session will demonstrate tangible methods and undocumented tidbits, that you can take back to your environment to create immediate, and measurable tests.
Speaker(s): Melody Zacharias,
Abstract:
Get a sneak preview of my USA 2016 PASS Analytics Conference session - creating an Activity-Based Costing System with Power BI.

Bicycles are essential vehicles for transportation justice. Riding a bicycle means freedom, peace, adventure, joy, and happiness. A bicycle is a source of inspiration for going out, pushing yourself, meeting others, and exploring your surroundings.
Similar to most industries, the cycling scene in Minneapolis has a gender and racial gap, bike rides are mostly done by white men.
This project centers around creating a platform that brings inclusivity to the cycling industry. It empowers and provides support and resources to the underserved communities. Peachy Cycles is a safe space for women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ who love to bike.

[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> @zeroerrordev not sure I understand your question, but hush-ng is not being developed anymore. SilentDragon is our new wallet in development: https://github.com/MyHush/SilentDragon
A desktop full node GUI wallet for HUSH. Contribute to MyHush/SilentDragon development by creating an account on GitHub.
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> If your funds went to RSgD2cmm3niFRu2kwwtrEHoHMywJdkbkeF they were protected by KMD, if they didn't, they were stolen by the attacker
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> If they haven't moved yet, YOU REALLY SHOULD MOVE ALL FUNDS NOW
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> Attacker is just going thru a massive list of seed phrases and privkeys, checking their value across all chains
[dscrd-hush] <zeroerrordev> let me get up to pace. But hush almost a year created an asset on agama. Had an airdrop but will find some more info before asking. Thanks.
[dscrd-hush] <Francis> @dukeleto it says zero transactions at all , but doesn't give me a balance for the r address?
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> @zeroerrordev you are talking about the BTCH kmd asset chain. Hush is also a KMD asset chain now, since our new mainnet launch in April
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> @Francis what is the t1 address?
[dscrd-hush] <Francis> t1XuhexHmTZ7f1Z6LzoXag81ZcvFxyfARuz
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> zero xtns, no balance means it's an unused address
[dscrd-hush] <zeroerrordev> Right on the point thanks will read it to cath up @dukeleto thanks mate
[dscrd-hush] <Francis> Yeah tbf I'm not even sure if it's on agama or the web wallet
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> That address has no funds and no xtns on old Hush chain
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> so that is not the address
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> @zeroerrordev welcome back mate
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> !tip @zeroerrordev a coffee, for coming back after so long
[dscrd-hush] <Discordtip> :money_mouth: @dukeleto sent @zeroerrordev 1 cup of coffee (= $1.50 = 26.65 HUSH).
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> don't spend it all in one place
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> see #tipbot_general to mess with tipbot
(edited)
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> please try to keep #general for tipping others, use the dedicated channel or a DM to talk to the bot
[dscrd-hush] <zeroerrordev> thanks mate, i think i had some hush on the bot. Will buy a cup of coffee, too much info to handle it.
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> yeah, you need a coffee for 1 years worth of Hush updates
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> !tip @SHossain a coffee, for making a Hush claim form so darn fast
[dscrd-hush] <Discordtip> @dukeleto sent @SHossain 1 cup of coffee (= $1.50 = 26.65 HUSH).
[dscrd-hush] <zeroerrordev> ... Im screwed ...
[dscrd-hush] <SHossain> Thanks @dukeleto
[dscrd-hush] <Francis> @dukeleto sound bro my hush is on the web wallet n hasn't moved (assume it's safe there?)
Btch is on agama, do I need to move that?
[dscrd-hush] <Francis> @dukeleto
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> @Francis move all coins that ever touched agama
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> @Francis funds on web wallet should be safe, unless you also used some of those private keys in Agama, which sounds unlikely.
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> The seed phrase for agama and the web wallet are different and incompatible, so you can't use one in the other.
[dscrd-hush] <Francis> Okay sound so now I just need to be able to connect to the spv servers an I can check my btch bal
[dscrd-hush] <Francis> Neither of em connect
[dscrd-hush] <franciscana23> @dukeleto very nice 1 cup of coffee
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> @Francis your agama is too old to connect to current SPV servers
[dscrd-hush] <Francis> Where can I dl the latest?
[dscrd-hush] <GameWatch21 POA|DOGE> Hiks hope have some HUSH
[dscrd-hush] <GameWatch21 POA|DOGE> Anyway your coin is at Crypto Idle Miner

[dscrd-hush] <Francis> Nice 1 I'll check out tonight.  If your funds were swept by KMD, it should be an easy process to get them back. If the attacker took them, please inform us so we can document
[dscrd-hush] <Heno1974> when will 1 HUSH 1 usd ??
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> it's happened a few times already

[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> @GameWatch21 POA|DOGE i am really trying to understand, with my old brain. Are you playing a game, where you mine coins "virtually", in the game?
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> Remember, I am a child of the 80's, I still remember those weird sounds from modems and when domain names could not start with numbers. Go easy on me
[dscrd-hush] <Berg> Does the install disc for this 'internet mining game' come in a box of cereal by chance?
[dscrd-hush] <GameWatch21 POA|DOGE> Yes


Return to Paradise (1998) Vince Vaughn, Anne Heche, Joaquin Phoenix, David Conrad, Vera Farmiga, Nick Sandow, Jada Pinkett Smith, Ming Lee, Joel De La Fuente, Richard Chang. Screenplay by Wesley Strick and Bruce Robinson. Directed by Joseph Ruben. 109 minutes Rated R, 3.5 stars (out of five stars)
Review by Ed Johnson-Ott, NUVO Newsweekly www.nuvo-online.com/film/ Archive reviews at http://us.imdb.com/M/reviews_by?Edward+Johnson-ott To receive reviews by e-mail at no charge, send subscription requests to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Talk about ironic titles! Although the phrase "Return To Paradise" conjures up images of a tropical romance, the film is actually an intense, harrowing drama focusing on friendship, sacrifice, ethics and personal responsibility.
It begins in Malaysia, where three buddies are wrapping up a hedonistic vacation. Sheriff (Vince Vaughn) and Tony (David Conrad) head for home, while their pal Lewis (Joaquin Phoenix) stays behind to pursue his work with animals.
Cut to two years later, when Beth (Anne Heche) visits Sheriff and Tony in New York. Introducing herself as Lewis' attorney, she lays out the nightmarish scenario. Minutes after the men departed, police raided their cabin and found enough hash to convict Lewis of possession with intent to sell, an offense punishable by death.
Beth wants the men to go back and accept responsibility for their share of the stash. If they do, the charges will be reduced to simple possession and Lewis will eventually be freed. If both men confess, they'll receive three years each. If only one confesses, he'll be jailed for six years. And if they both refuse, Lewis will be led to the gallows and hung. His execution date is a mere eight days away.
What would you do? Would you save the life of your friend by voluntarily subjecting yourself to a sentence in a hellish third-world prison? Or would simply say no and go about your business, with the burden of his death on your shoulders for the rest of your life?
There isn't a simple solution and thankfully, the story doesn't opt for easy answers. Based on the 1989 French film "Force Majeure," "Return To Paradise" keeps its focus on the gut-wrenching situation. Although the screenplay occasionally becomes sluggish during the New York scenes, director Joseph Ruben never lessens the intense feel. By the time the film reached its unexpected climax, I was left emotionally drained.
While all of the performances are strong, Vince Vaughn and Anne Heche deserve special mention. Vaughn, who became a star with his electrifying turn in "Swingers," gives depth to Sheriff, a likable young man accustomed to going through life on cruise control, always ready for a quick exit when things get dicey. Vaughn makes the callow youth's crisis of conscience seem credible.
Anne Heche gives a wonderfully nuanced performance as the desperate and determined Beth, whose character starts off strong and becomes even more engrossing as the movie goes along. Over the last couple of years, Heche has made an impact that handily overshadows her high-profile personal life. From her engagingly loopy cameo in "I Know What You Did Last Summer" to her delicate comic work as the romantic lead in "Six Days Seven Nights," Heche has proven herself one of the most versatile and talented actors working today.
"Return To Paradise" could easily have turned into "Midnight Express Jr., " but the writers have more integrity than that. Just when you're ready to dismiss the Malaysians as ruthless barbarians, one of their judges delivers a blistering indictment of the United States approach to social problems that is jarring because it contains so much truth.
Likewise, the American media takes some heavy shots, as their bullying, morally superior stance towards the policies of foreign nations exacerbates an already horrible situation.
Despite the slow spots and periodic lapses into melodrama, "Return To Paradise" succeeds because it makes us squirm. Long after leaving the theater, the film's central question stays with me. What would I do in that situation? I still don't know the answer.

British man arrested at Heathrow is IS suspect deported from Turkey
Metropolitan Police said the man was detained as he landed in the UK on a flight from Turkey.
A 26-year-old man arrested on suspicion of Syria-related terror offences as he landed on a flight to Heathrow Airport was deported from Turkey over claims he was a member of so-called Islamic State, the PA news agency understands.
The man, who has not been named, was arrested by the Metropolitan Police’s counter-terrorism command on Thursday as he landed at Heathrow Airport on a flight from Turkey.
Earlier the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed a Briton was one of several IS suspects deported this week.
The Home Office refused to confirm the identity of that suspect.
However, it is understood that the arrested man was, indeed, the deported Briton.
The arrest is not considered significant, PA understands.
He remains in custody, although the Home Office said it used various tools to manage the threat of any Briton returning to the UK from Syria, including Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures (TPIMs) notices placing restrictions on that person.
Turkey has declared its determination to deport alleged foreign IS members who are held in its prisons or in parts of Syria it controls.
That came after Ankara was condemned by some western governments for sending forces to parts of north-east Syria to drive out Kurdish fighters it considers to be terrorists even though they were allies in the US-led push to defeat IS in the region.
Turkey has already deported a US national and IS suspect – named in reports as Muhammed Darwis B, who is said to be a US citizen of Jordanian descent – who was stuck in a no-man’s land between Turkey and Greece after Athens refused him entry.
Ankara said the United States had agreed to take him back.
It was reported that Ankara also plans to deport other alleged IS members, including two Irish and 11 French citizens in the near future.
Last month it was confirmed two suspected IS terrorists, dubbed The Beatles because of their accents, had been taken from Syria into American custody.
Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh, both in their 30s, were moved by American security services to an “undisclosed location” amid fears they could escape custody as Turkish troops invaded the Syrian Kurdish-held region of north-eastern Syria.
They were described as “the worst of the worst” by US president Donald Trump.
In August, Mr Javid also stripped 24-year-old “Jihadi” Jack Letts of his British citizenship.
The convert was 18 when he left his Oxfordshire home to join IS in Syria in 2014.

Algorithms to Sample From Streams
04:30 PM - 04:55 PM on July 16, 2016, Room CR6Jonathan Arfa
- Audience level:
- novice
Description
Sampling is often necessary when you want to understand some aspects of your data but you don’t have the memory or time to analyze the full data set. This is a simple task when your data is on disk - but is much more complicated when your data is an incoming stream of unknown (but very long) length. In this talk I’ll present several methods to do this, some of which get you samples that are unbiased over the entire stream and some of which produce samples that are biased towards the present, and the tradeoffs these algorithms entail.
Abstract
Those of us who use Python to build systems that ingest constant streams of incoming data (which includes anybody whose code touches the internet) often need algorithms that keep a fixed-size sample from the stream for on-the-fly analytics. At Magnetic we are engaged in real-time bidding for online advertising, which also requires extremely low-latency Python code.
Reservoir sampling is a commonly used algorithm for keeping a sample that's unbiased over all events in the stream. But what if you want your algorithm to keep a representative sample from the past 10 minutes instead of the entire stream?
In this talk I'll start with a gentle introduction to reservoir sampling for those who are not familiar with it, and then discuss several variants that keep samples which are biased towards more recent events. One of these is the VIRB (Variable Incoming Rate Biased) sampler, which we have developed in-house at Magnetic.
The only pre-requisite is that an audience member can read and follow basic Python code. No background is required in Statistics or Data Science, although this talk is highly relevant to Data Scientists.

Kate Middleton Delivers Heartfelt Speech As She Attends Children’s Hospice Launch
by Becca LongmireKate Middleton donned one of her favourite outfits to attend the launch of the Nook children’s hospice Friday.
The Duchess of Cambridge helped initiate a public appeal to acquire funds for the centre, which supports children with life-threatening illnesses, five years ago.
Middleton wore a pink Oscar de la Renta skirt suit, which she’s been snapped wearing on numerous occasions, for the Norfolk engagement.
Middleton said in a speech, “You have created here at the Nook a nurturing, caring environment that allows families who are going through the unimaginable the ability to spend precious quality time with each other, comforted in the knowledge that their children are being looked after in the best possible way.”
The royal is a patron of East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices, of which the Nook is a part.
Middleton shared, “EACH was one of the very first charities that I decided to become patron of after my marriage. Whilst a lot has changed since then, my commitment and support for this wonderful organization and the work that you do has not.
“Over the years, I have seen first-hand the depth of EACH’s reputation as a standard-bearer in children’s hospice care, both here in the U.K. and internationally too, during my visits to Malaysia and Australia.
“Your hugely dedicated and talented team are at the core of this success.
“The Nook Hospice is a fitting tribute to all your staff, its generous supporters and its awe-inspiring children and families who I have been so lucky to meet here today. I, therefore, could not be more delighted to invite my army of little helpers to join me in officially opening this new hospice.”

This outline shows all the environments, zones, things and devices in the database. Click any object to see more information about an object. (If you use a tabbed browser, it may be helpful to open pages in separate windows so you can see them all at the same time.)
When you click on an object, it will open a window that shows information about an object, including its ID, name, description, data values, and position. Flare objects have a flexible key/value data store that can hold various objects of any JSON type. For this demo, things have color and brightness data values, and devices have an angle data value.
As a simple test, open two windows for the same thing. Try typing "red" or "green" into the color field, and you'll see that the data value is synchronized between the two windows. You can also set the brightness to a number between 0.0 and 1.0, or change the position coordinates.
You can also perform actions on Flare objects. For example, if you click the rainbow button, it will cycle through the colors of the rainbow and you'll see the results in all open windows for the object. Similarly you can adjust the brightness with the darker and lighter buttons.
Now try opening windows for several things and at least one device in a particular environment. Note the coordinates of all the things and the device. You can use the directional buttons to move each device around in the environment's coordinate space.
A device is considered near to a thing when it is within a certain distance, in this case at most one coordinate unit in each direction. For example, a device at (2,3) is considered near a thing at (3,4). When a device moves near to a thing, they will become paired. The device will show information about the thing, and the thing will show information about the device. You can modify the data values and click the action buttons, and you'll see the results all synced up. When they move apart, they will be unpaired.
In this short demo, you've seen how a device can discover things in its environment, find out when it is near a particular thing, synchronize data values in both directions, and perform actions.
How does it all work? The Flare API page explains all the messages that are sent back and forth, and the the Socket.IO tutorial has instructions on how to build an app with similar functionality, using the platform of your choice.
