Q: SQL database questions So I have a couple questions that I would like to have cleared up for me. I have searched all over the internet for a month trying to find an answer to these questions. I really want to learn SQL and understand how the language interacts with its database. So here are a couple questions that I have had.

*

*My understanding is that there is MySQL and other software applications that help you interact with your database. What are some other applications that could let me interact with my database?

*If I am using MySQL where is the data being stored? On my computer or on a database somewhere else?

*Where can I go to get a free SQL server and interact with it using an oracle application to interact with my database?

*Can I store files and images in an SQL server?

*So, lets say I have an SQL database and it has TONS of traffic running through it. What would I do to split the servers up, but still have then interact with each other? Would I create a database that tells where to send that data?

*I know that Oracle, Microsoft, etc. have free SQL servers. Can somebody point me in the right direction? I am not exactly sure where to go to actually put my tables and such on a database. I do have the application however.

I have tons of other questions, but I will search as hard as I can for those. Thanks you for your response in the advance.

A: *

*My understanding is that there is MySQL and other software applications that help you interact with your database. What are some other applications that could let me interact with my database?

MySQL , SQL Server , Oracle are softwares to be precise
  Relational Database management systems RDBMS, they Manage (Store, retrieve ,
  modify) data for you.

*If I am using MySQL where is the data being stored? On my computer or on a database somewhere else?

Data will be stored in a database, database is really a file on your computer's
  file system but you will not directly work with the actual physical
  file, you will only work with the RDBMS and the RDBMS will manage that
  file for you.

*Where can I go to get a free SQL server and interact with it using an oracle application to interact with my database?

SQL Server Express is a free version.

*Can I store files and images in an SQL server?

Yes in SQL Server you have the ability of storing files/documents using a feature
  called FILESTREAM.

*So, lets say I have an SQL database and it has TONS of traffic running through it. What would I do to split the servers up, but still have then interact with each other? Would I create a database that tells where to send that data?

For load balancing SQL Server has a feature called Replication

*I know that Oracle, Microsoft, etc. have free SQL servers. Can somebody point me in the right direction? I am not exactly sure where to go to actually put my tables and such on a database.

Download link for Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 Express

A: 1) I think you might be getting the actual database software and the user interfaces confused for example MySQL is a piece of database software that manages the data stores retrieves it etc. phpMyAdmin is a GUI that you can use to interface with MySQL rather that writing SQL queries. There are other variants of SQL like SQL*Plus and i'm sure there are phpMyAdmin equivalents for all of them however I have only ever used them with the command line. Another alternative is something like MongoDB which is a noSQL database.
2) The data is stored wherever the database is installed. You could run it on a local server. LAMP (linux), WAMP(windows) or MAMP(mac) is the easiest way to get this set up. again look on youtube 100s of tutorials on this
3) http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/index.html I havent fully looked into this I must admit
I wont bother carrying on because M.Ali has posted a very good answers to the rest of the questions

A: Let's see if I can help you with this:

*

*My understanding is that there is MySQL and other software applications that help you interact with your database. What are some other applications that could let me interact with my database?

MySQL, SQL-Server and others are Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS for short); they are database software that help you store your data, following the relational model (columns are fields, rows are data-tuples, etcétera). RDBMSs handle the task of storing, updating and retrieving the data, but they are not, by themselves, "applications". An application (as I understand it) is a program designed to interact with a user, and sits between the user and the data stored in the database. So, this is a little schematic of what is going on
Database        Application                   User
--------        -----------                   ----
Stores data     Receives user input/output    Interacts with the app
                and sends / updates / reads
                data to/from the database

*If I am using MySQL where is the data being stored? On my computer or on a database somewhere else?

It's stored in the computer where it's installed (in the simplest configuration). Each RDBMS may handle the data storage differently, but the bottom line is that the RDBMS "worries" about the data storage, and let's you handle the data with a "simple" and "consistent" language (most cases, using the particular SQL "dialect" of the RDBMS)

*Where can I go to get a free SQL server and interact with it using an oracle application to interact with my database?

What do you mean by "Oracle application"? Oracle, as far as I know, is a RDBMS. If you want to get the free SQL-Server, go to the Microsoft Site and download it.

*Can I store files and images in an SQL server?

Yes

*So, lets say I have an SQL database and it has TONS of traffic running through it. What would I do to split the servers up, but still have then interact with each other? Would I create a database that tells where to send that data?

Many RDBMSs have tools to handle this (partitions, replication, etcetera). Read the documentation.

*I know that Oracle, Microsoft, etc. have free SQL servers. Can somebody point me in the right direction? I am not exactly sure where to go to actually put my tables and such on a database. I do have the application however.

Google around. MySQL is free, PostgreSQL is free. SQL server has a free version. Also, Google around for a good SQL tutorial (I'd recommend you to learn how to use MySQL, because it's one of the easiest ones).

You should narrow your research. If you want a free, fully featured RDBMS, I'd recommend you use MySQL or PostgreSQL (I don't use SQL server, but that's just me). Also, if you want to develop applications, you should learn how to develop with other languages. Most (if not all) languages have libraries designed to interact with databases.

A: I would start here: http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_intro.asp. W3Schools does a decent job explaining the basics. From there you could branch out to http://www.tutorialspoint.com/sql/sql-rdbms-concepts.htm. A Google search from there would suffice to answer any other questions you may have.

A: *

*MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server are some that are used to create SQL databases.

*MySql can be stored locally or on a host (godaddy).

*MySql is free. I believe you have to pay to use the others.

*Yes.

*When you get to that point, you'll want to either hire someone, or work on databases and web traffic till you understand a good amount.

*I would check with Godaddy, or some other web hosting site, and they can provide free advice.

Police investigation finds sensational rape case to be 'fake': reports
The complainants with Bhagyalakshmi
A sensational rape case of 2016, in which a housewife accused three brothers — including a CPIM ward councillor — of gang rape in Kerala, has been found to be fake and closed, said media reports quoting a status update given by the police to the local MLA.
Two prominent celebrity women's rights activists, dubbing artist Bhagyalakshmi and film actress T Parvathi, had arranged a press conference in which the woman had covered her face while making the allegations.
The woman alleged that the brothers, one of whom is a ward councillor for the CPIM, had subjected her to gang rape in Thrissur and also made a video of the act.
The complainant also approached the court a second time a few months later, pointing out that the accused persons have not been arrested yet despite her allegations. She submitted that all accused must be arrested as part of the investigation process, according to Supreme Court's guidelines.
A year later, artist Bhagyalakshmi said at an event that she was facing a lot of questions about the genuineness of the allegations against the three brothers.
"My reply has been that you feel it's a motivated case because the accused is a politician like you," she said, speaking in August 2017.
The activist also said that the complainant and her husband were staunchly behind the case and there was no question of them withdrawing the complaint.
According to the latest reports, Congress MLA Anil Akkara sought a status report on the investigations from the Kerala Home Ministry, and the report said that the allegations were found to be fake and the case closed.
A few months after the sensational press conference, the parents-in-law of the accuser had issued a press statement and conducted a press conference in which they stated that they had no faith in the accusations leveled by their son and his wife, and that they believed that accusations were most likely motivated by financial considerations.
It remains to be seen if the women's rights activists or opposition Congress Party tries to revive the case and oppose the decision to close the investigation by the CPIM-controlled government.

Why You Should Not Invest In Cryptocurrencies?
A cryptocurrency is a form of digital currency which is designed to work as a medium of exchange. It runs on Blockchain technology. Encryption techniques are used to regulate the generation of units of the digital currency and verify the transfer of funds. Cryptocurrencies are not regulated by any Government, Central Bank or Company.
Bitcoin was the first Cryptocurrency. It was created in the year 2009 and is still famous. Other famous cryptocurrencies are Ethereum, Litecoin, Monero, Ripple, Dogecoin, Dash, MaidSafeCoin, Lisk and Stellar.
Cryptocurrencies are very volatile, as they don't have stability like the Dollar or the Rupee. Usually, Cryptocurrencies are not regulated by any Government or Central bank and do not have deposit insurance coverage. If you keep your money in a bank, whether in an FD, RD or savings bank account, the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation of India, will guarantee your deposit up to Rs 1 Lakh per depositor per bank. But such guarantees are not there for Cryptocurrencies.
Stocks and mutual funds are regulated by SEBI and IRDA regulates insurance. But, Cryptocurrencies do not have any regulator. If you lose your money, you can't complain to anyone.
Cryptocurrencies are not backed by any precious metal like gold. Value of the Cryptocurrency lies within itself and nobody is aware of how it gets its value.
Many Indians are using their credit cards to invest in cryptocurrencies. But, this is not a good idea because cryptocurrencies are not legal tender in India. If you borrow and invest, you might lose all your money and fall into the debt trap.
Cryptocurrencies are open to manipulation and speculation. The value of cryptocurrencies is going up only because of this.

What Happened to Ben-Hur
At the beginning of 2016, many users were alarmed by a notice on the Ben-Hur website saying, "We are sorry to inform you that we have been forced to close down the website.

Two elderly, nondiabetic patients with uremia, one of whom had received on the preceding day one gram of carbutamide per os and the other one gram of tolbutamide intravenously, had severe, prolonged hypoglycemic reactions. The reaction lasted for six days in the former patient and was so severe that daily administration of glucose was necessary. The patient died from uremia thirteen days after taking the drug. The other patient was markedly hypoglycemic until his death three and one-half days later. A fairly large benign adrenocortical adenoma was found at autopsy in each patient.
The same agents were also administered once to four severely uremic patients, but no significant depression of the blood sugar level was elicited. The cause of the prolonged hypoglycemia in some subjects remains undetermined.

They did it for the simplest of reasons: adventure. Three friends, on a drunken dare, set out in a dinghy for a nearby island. But when the gas ran out and they drifted into barren waters, their biggest threat wasn't the water or the ocean�it was each other.
A crewman on a commercial tuna-fishing boat was the first to spot it: something shiny and metallic in the water off the ship's bow. The crewman alerted the navigator, and the 280-foot San Nikunau slightly altered course to avoid a collision. As the ship came closer, the object revealed itself to be a small boat, an aluminum dinghy. It was late in the afternoon on November 24 of last year. The New Zealand�based San Nikunau was in open water, a couple of days out of Fiji, amid the vastness of the southern Pacific�an expanse the size of a dozen Saharas in which there are only scattered specks of land.
The dinghy, fourteen feet long and low to the water, was designed for traveling on lakes or hugging a shoreline. There was no way it should've been in this part of the Pacific. If the San Nikunau had passed a quarter mile to either side, likely no one would have noticed it. Anyway, it appeared empty, another bit of the ocean's mysterious flotsam. But then, as the big ship was approaching the dinghy, something startling happened. From the bottom of the tiny boat, emerging slowly and unsteadily, rose an arm�a single human arm, skinny and sun-fried and waving for help.
It began, in the grand tradition of ill-considered ideas, with a group of boys and a bottle of booze�the most common of circumstances in the least common of places. The boys were gathered in their clubhouse�broken sofas, graffitied walls�near the end of the only road in the only village on the Pacific island of Atafu. Atafu is one of three atolls that make up the nation of Tokelau (which is not, technically, a nation but a territory of New Zealand). The total amount of land on Atafu is 1.4 square miles. Population: 524.
The nearest atoll, equally tiny, is fifty-seven miles to the south, well beyond the range of visibility. The closest significant land mass is Samoa, a twenty-eight-hour ferry ride away. There is no landing strip on Tokelau. There are also no dogs, prisons, lawyers, pavement, or soil�the land is mostly bits of broken coral. The highest elevation is fifteen feet. Coconuts and fish are the traditional diet, though the ferry, which comes once every two weeks, brings so much junk food these days that obesity and diabetes have become significant problems. From any point on Atafu's shoreline, nothing can be seen but water, all the way to the horizon.
One of the boys in the clubhouse�by most accounts, the unofficial leader�was named Filo Filo. (It's not uncommon in Tokelau to have the same first and last names.) Filo was tall and strong and exceptionally athletic. His dream was to play for the New Zealand All Blacks. Though his parents were both Tokelauan, Filo had lived his entire life away from the islands, mostly in Sydney, Australia, where his mother had moved after she'd separated from Filo's father. But in 2007, Filo's mother grew concerned about his poor grades and growing reputation as a troublemaker. As a sort of reform school, she sent him to Atafu to live with his dad, who in addition to being a fisherman�the profession of nearly every Tokelauan man�was also the local rugby coach. Filo became a star athlete on Atafu, but some people still thought of him, to use the Tokelauan word, as a palagi�a foreigner. One classmate called him a "wanna-be gangster." He was, in truth, a city kid who had been exiled to one of the tiniest and most remote places on the planet.
Filo had become best friends with a boy named Samu Tonuia. They were both 15 and in the same class at school�a class of seven students. Samu, like Filo, was tall and muscular for his age and also an excellent rugby player. Otherwise, the two boys could not have been more different. Samu had never once in his life left Tokelau. It is customary in Tokelau to assign one child to care for elderly relatives, and while the rest of his family had moved to Australia, Samu lived on Atafu with his grandmother. He'd never been in an airplane or a restaurant or a movie theater. According to one classmate, Samu had been a decent student�until Filo arrived.
Hearing the story of the teens sparked something in Etueni. He'd always been a good student, a well-behaved boy. But he, too, was often frustrated with the truncated boundaries of life on a tiny atoll, his one square mile of world. "Its freekin hell" he once posted on Facebook. He also yearned to be more popular, to be thought of by the others in the clubhouse as a hero rather than a nerd. To have a grand adventure. And so almost on a whim, when the plans became serious�when Samu announced he'd be willing to steal his uncle's new boat�and most everyone in the clubhouse began backpedaling from their bluster, Etueni finally spoke up. He said he was in.
They had rainwater on multiple occasions. 51 days is enough to starve to death even if you have water. Amazing they didn't just give up entirely.

New partnership to boost billion pound aerospace and defence sector
Posted on Thursday 3 April 2014 by Ulster Business
Officially launching the new partnership at an event in the Pump House, NI Science Park were Bob Barbour, chief executive of CforC, Phil Curnock, ADS Head of Supply Chain, and Clive Stewart of Invest NI.
Northern Ireland's billion pound aerospace and defence industry is set for a significant competitiveness boost through an important new partnership.
ADS, the trade organisation for companies operating in the UK's aerospace, defence, and security industries, has partnered with Northern Ireland's Centre for Competitiveness (CforC) to roll out a major change programme to enhance the sector's supply chain locally.
By working with dozens of local businesses who supply the likes of Bombardier and Thales, CforC will help companies raise standards, reduce overheads, enhance skills, and ultimately increase the competitiveness of one of Northern Ireland's most important industries.
Chief executive of CforC, Bob Barbour, says that this could deliver hundreds of millions of pounds of additional value to the local economy every year.
"The sector is vital to Northern Ireland, directly employing over 8,000 people, contributing about 20% of our exports, and delivering over £1billion to the local economy per year. Revenues are targeted to increase to £2billion within 10 years and direct employment to 12,000. But the industry operates in an extremely competitive global marketplace and a rapidly changing environment, so continuous improvement is essential to continue to grow. Achieving improvements in supply chains is absolutely critical to this, so this programme with ADS is of huge strategic importance," Mr Barbour adds.
CforC has been approved as ADS's strategic partner for the implementation and certification of the highly-regarded SC21 (21st Century Supply Chains), a change programme designed to accelerate the competitiveness of the aerospace and defence industry by raising the performance of its supply chains.
This involves a comprehensive diagnostic and certification process with the aim of raising standards of supplier cost and delivery to international best practice.
Phil Curnock, ADS Head of Supply Chain, says: "We are delighted to work with the Centre for Competitiveness and to benefit from their expertise to promote and deliver SC21. The evidence shows that SC21 brings very real and tangible benefits for the supply chain and the sector as a whole. We believe CforC's role as a strategic partner will really help accelerate the achievement of those benefits in Northern Ireland."
ADS is the premier trade organisation advancing the UK Aerospace, Defence, Security and Space industries. Farnborough International Limited (FIL), which runs the Farnborough International Airshow, is a wholly-owned subsidiary.
ADS has offices in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, France and India. Together with its regional partners, ADS represents over 2,600 companies.
The aerospace, defence, security and space industry in Northern Ireland currently contributes over £1billion per year to the Northern Ireland economy, providing more than 8,000 direct, high value jobs and an estimated 9,600 indirect jobs.
The NI Executive's target is to more than double revenues from the sector to over £2billion within 10 years and to increase direct employment from 8,000 to 12,000.
The Centre for Competitiveness is a private sector, independent, not for profit membership organisation established by industry to actively support the development of an internationally competitive economy through innovation, productivity improvement and quality excellence in the private, public and voluntary sectors of the economy. The Centre is governed by a Board of directors representing its members from across all sectors of the economy. It is the National Partner organisation for the European Foundation for Quality Management, Brussels and an active member of the thirty nation Global Federation of Competitiveness Councils headquartered in Washington DC and it provides its members with insights into international best practices, global trends and leading edge business practices.


Nicole Williams doesn't need any improvement when it comes to her amazing body. She should be greeted with applause and a standing ovation everywhere she goes. If there's one thing I hate it's seeing such a pretty lady at the beach alone. She looks like she can use some company. Grade A company such as myself. I'd keep her so entertained that she would forget what she went to the beach for. Because fun in the sun is always better with a plus one. I'd say that to her until she makes me her permanent plus one and partner for life.
I'm glad a gorgeous woman like her gets in the water. I love a woman who isn't afraid to get a little wet in public. Most ladies hate to mess up their make up and stay beached on the sand all day. Either way I'd just enjoy being there next to Nicolle. If she needed me to have a reason for being next to her I would tell her that I'm available to help her air dry. Most people forget to bring another towel in addition to their beach towel to lay on so I'd make waving motions all over her body until every droplet is gone. That sounds like a good enough reason to me.
Welcome to the Same Old Brand New Egotastic!


Savanna in the Kruger National Park, South Africa is best known for its Leopard sightings which can be frequently seen while on game drives and bush walks. Children are welcome at the lodge and there are many activities to keep them amused, they can track the Small Five, catch butterflies and try traditional hair braiding. They also offer meals catered to suit children of all ages.
Savanna lies in an area where `Big 5` sightings are an everyday occurrence and it is not unusual to see lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino in a single game drive. Specially designed game viewing vehicles and highly trained guides with vast knowledge of the African bushveld take guests on close and intimate encounters with a large variety of wildlife.

Happy Friday Elio'ers! If you're like us, you've had a tremendously busy week and are ready for a bit of a weekend respite. In case you missed it, earlier this week we sent out a funding-related press release. As we're deep into the process this week, today's Friday Blog is from the archives and covers an important topic: financing the Elio. We're cognizant of the fact that this topic is known inside and out by some of our longtime supporters, but every day there is a huge group of folks who are just now finding out about us.
The genesis of our financing plan is centered on the economics of the Elio (ultra-low cost and high mileage) and the average miles per gallon of a vehicle on the road today. The average vehicle on the road today gets around 21 MPG, on average, while the Elio is targeting over three times that amount. This means that the Elio should cost the average driver 1/3 of their current spend for fuel to drive the same miles.
Basically, we call this financing option "Have your gas savings make your payment." If you choose this program, you will receive a special Elio Motors credit card when you pick up your new Elio. Each time you stop at a gas station, you will use the Elio Motors credit card to pay for the gas and the card. Your credit card statement, however, will reflect the gas purchase as 3 times the purchase amount. You are used to paying the higher amount for gas, so you don't feel it in your pocket, but you end up with a new, warrantied vehicle in the process!
So, for example, let's say that you spend $20 on gas to fill up your tank. The card will be charged a total of $60. Why the $60? $20 is going to the oil company and the remaining $40 goes toward the balance of your vehicle. So, thus the name, the money you would otherwise be spending on gas is paying for your new ride!
Here are some great questions that frequently come in about the program: What kind of credit will I need to qualify?
Q: What kind of credit will I need to qualify?
We are focused on making the Elio, but the partner we choose to supply the credit card will make this determination. There, of course, will be some creditworthiness requirements, but we believe that with our ultra-low base price that a wide range of credit scores will qualify. We know logically that more people can qualify for $7,000 loan than for a new car costing over $30,000.
Q: Will there be a minimum payment?
Yes, there will need to be a minimum amount paid toward the loan amount every month, regardless of gas purchases. The minimum amount will depend on several factors and will be available in the coming months.
Q: Can I use the credit card when I fill up my other vehicles? What about other purchases?
That detail is yet to be finalized, but we anticipate the answer to be yes, you can use the card whenever you like! Important to note however that the card will work the same for all purchases. All purchases will be charged 3X the amount, with 2/3rds of the purchase going toward the payment of your Elio.
Q: Can I opt for different payment options, or even just pay in cash?
Absolutely you can pay in cash! Additionally, we will have traditional financing options available, so you have options on how to best finance your Elio.
Thanks for your support and have a rewarding weekend!

Early this week, Microsoft announced a project code named Velocity. Velocity is a distributed in-memory object caching system in the vein of memcached (aka a Distributed Hash Table). If you read any modern stories of the architectures of popular Web sites today such as the recently published overview of the LinkedIn social networking site's Web architecture, you will notice a heavy usage of in-memory caching to improve performance. Popular web sites built on the LAMP platform such as Slashdot, Facebook, Digg, Flickr and Wikipedia have all been using memcached to take advantage of in-memory storage to improve performance for years. It is good to see Microsoft step up with a similar technology for Web sites built on the WISC platform.
Like memcached, you can think of Velocity as a giant hash table that can run on multiple servers which automatically handles maintaining the balance of objects hashed to each server and transparently fetches/removes objects from over the network if they aren't on the same machine that is accessing an object in the hash table. In addition, you can add and remove servers from the cluster and the cache automatically rebalances itself.
In the above diagram, each cache host is a server that participates in the cache cluster. Your application can have multiple named caches (e.g. "Inventory", "Product Catalog", etc) each of which can be configured separately. In addition, each named cache can have one or more named region. For example, the Sports region of your Product Catalog or the Arts region of your product catalog. Below is some sample code that shows putting and getting objects in and out of a named cache.
The above sample searches for all items tagged "sneakers" from the Sports region of the Catalog cache.
The notion of regions and tagging is one place Velocity diverges from the simpler model of technologies like memcached and provides more functionality.
The above excerpt indicates that the default and Inventory caches utilize a Least Recently Used algorithm for determining which objects are evicted from the cache. In addition, it specifies the default interval after which an object can be considered to be stale in the Inventory cache.
The default expiration interval can actually be overridden when putting an object in the cache by specifying a TTL parameter when calling the Put() method.
One of the first things you learn about distributed computing in the real world is that locks are bad mojo. In the way locks traditionally work, an object can be locked by a caller meaning everyone else interested in the object has to wait their turn. Although this prevents errors in your system occurring due to multiple callers interacting with the object at once, it also means there are built-in bottle necks in your system. So lesson #1 of scaling your service is often to get rid of as many locks in your code as possible. Eventually this leads to systems like eBay which doesn't use database transactions and Amazon's Dynamo which doesn't guarantee data consistency.
Server1: Gets the list from memcache.
Server2: Also gets the list from memcache.
Server1: Removes '1' from the list.
Server2: Removes '3' from the list.
Server1: Puts back a list with 2,3 in list in memcache.
Server2: Puts back a list with 1,2 in list in memcache.
Note:Since, both servers have their instance of list objs.
This is not what we need to do. Becoz, both servers are putting an incorrect list in memcache.Ideally what shud have happened was that in the end a list with only '1' shud be put back in memcache. This problem occurs under load and happens in case of concurrent threads.
What I want is that memcache shud restrict Server2 and a consistent list shud be there in memcache. How do I handle such problem in memcache environment?? I know we can handle at application server end by doing all these operations through a centralized place(gets and puts), but how do I handle it in Memcache????
Any help wud be appreciated?
Unfortunately for the author of the question above, memcached doesn't provide APIs for concurrent access and enforcing data consistency (except for numeric counters). So far, the code samples I've shown for Velocity also do not support concurrency.
In the pessimistic concurrency model, the caller specifically takes a lock by calling GetAndLock() with a lock time out. The lock is then held until the time out or until the object is put back using PutAndUnlock(). To prevent this from being a performance nightmare, the system does not block requests if a lock is held on an object they want to manipulate. Instead the request is rejected (i.e. it fails).
Update: Some people have commented here and elsewhere that memcached actually does support the optimistic concurrency model using the gets and cas commands. Sorry about that, it wasn't exposed in the memcached libraries I've looked at.
From my perspective, this is a welcome addition to the WISC developer's toolkit. I also like that it pushes the expectations of developers on what they should expect from a distributed object cache which I expect will end up being good for the industry overall and not just developers on Microsoft's platforms.
If the above sounds interesting, there is already a technology preview available for download from MSDN here. I've downloaded it but haven't tried to run it yet since I don't have enough machines to test it in the ways I would find interesting. As you can expect there is a Velocity team blog. Subscribed.

Renter's Guide to Boulder
With the Rocky Mountains to its west, and 151 miles of nature trails on all sides, Boulder is a rare blend of city life and scenic beauty at high elevations. The Boulder Flatirons' gentle slopes in the horizon imbues a peaceful and dreamlike tranquility over the surrounding landscape, giving Boulder its nickname as "the city nestled between the mountains and reality".
Geographically speaking, Boulder is fairly secluded, but with a tightknit community. It's a 30-mile drive from Denver to Boulder (a relatively quick jaunt for work commutes and day trips alike), and 97 miles northwest of Colorado Springs and its awe-inspiring landmarks. Boulder is about 6 times smaller than Denver (and a fraction as populated), and roughly 8 times smaller than Colorado Springs (with about a quarter of the population).
Boulder's climate is that of a high desert, and the weather in Boulder is pleasant year-round. Winter (December-February) averages 34 F, and has alternating periods of warm and wintry weather. Spring (March-May) has an agreeable dry heat, averaging 49 F. Summer (June-August) has very low humidity, averaging 70 F. Autumn (September-November) can go either way – wintry and windy, or unseasonably warm; 52 F is the average.

Editorial roundup
Star Tribune (Minn.), July 1
Defying SCOTUS on gay marriage licensing is not a legal option
When the U.S. Supreme Court's Brown vs. Board of Education decision mandated school desegregation in 1954, some states just said no or came up with ways to defy the new law of the land. Nearly a decade after the high court ruling, then-Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace infamously stood in a doorway at the University of Alabama and declared "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever" — even as he faced federal court officials and National Guard troops sent to protect black students.
In a strikingly similar vein, some officials in Southern states said they would not comply with last week's landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized gay marriage in all 50 states. Fortunately, some of that resistance is fading as officials come to terms with the potential consequences of their defiance.
Still, some individual holdouts remain. A handful of public officials in Bible Belt states object so strongly to same-sex marriage that they are refusing to issue marriage licenses to anyone, gay or straight.
Although clerks and judges are entitled to their own religious beliefs, none is above the law. In fact, issuing licenses is a condition of employment or election. If they refuse to do their public-service, taxpayer-supported jobs, they should either resign, be fired or go to jail.
A few clerks in Arkansas and Mississippi resigned on Tuesday rather than be forced to sign the licenses for same-sex couples, but one county clerk in Kentucky simply closed her doors, refused to issue any marriage licenses and told a gay couple to "go to another county." University of Louisville constitutional law expert Sam Marcosson said that action disqualifies her from the position. "That applies to a judge … to a senator … to anyone who holds public office," Marcosson said.
Clerks and probate judges are granted authority by states to issue marriage licenses. In many rural areas, there are few alternatives for hundreds of miles. Couples turned away in such areas could seek a court order, and a clerk who still refuses to issue a license could be jailed for contempt.
Brown vs. Board of Education didn't change hearts and minds overnight. Neither did last week's marriage ruling. Sometimes deeply ingrained prejudices never change. But laws do change, and in a civilized society, they must be followed and enforced.

Q: Invoke different functions using dictionary values I have two classes:

*

*One is called Stock() and the averageopen, averagehigh, averagelow are methods of Stock() class.

*And one is AppGUI() is the Tkinter file.

Problem: I want to invoke each individual average methods from the Stock() class in my StartPage class
Class StartPage():
......
......

    # calculate check boxes button
    self.button_calculate = tk.Button(self,
    text="Calculate",command=self.average)
    self.button_calculate.pack()
    self.button_calculate.place(x=180, y=300)

    self.Google = Stock()
    button_dict = {`'Average Open': self.Google.averageopen,
    'Average High': self.Google.averagehigh,
    'Average Low': self.Google.averagelow`}

How do I call the value from the button_dict?
When do that, it returns PY_VAR0 but I want to just invoke the function itself?

A: You call it by accessing the dictionary value and passing in any parameters like you would with any other function:
button_dict['Average Open'](parameter, parameter, ...)

If it's returning PY_VAR0, that's unrelated to how you call it. The function will return the same thing no matter how it is called.
Typically, when you see PY_VAR0, that means you are using or returning an instance of StringVar when you mean to be using the value.
The following code will print "PY_VAR0"
foo = tk.StringVar(value="this is foo")
print(foo)

The following will print "this is foo":
foo = tk.StringVar(value="this is foo")
print(foo.get())

foo =

A: You can use the eval() function to dynamically call functions contained in the dictionary. Here's a simple example:
class Stock(object):
    def averageopen(self):
        return True

s = Stock()
the_dict = {}
the_dict.update({'Average Open':s.averageopen})

#see that we're about to execute
print 's.' + the_dict['Average Open'].__name__ + '()'

#now execute it
print eval('s.' + the_dict['Average Open'].__name__ + '()')

Running this code will return the value from the function reference stored in the dict: True
You can concatenate parameters into the string by adding them between the '()'. Iterate as necessary.


The tarmacadam recreational surfaces that we install are very popular because they have so many benefits and are well known for their versatility. Macadam is installed on roads, sports pitches, driveways and parks and can be installed in all different types of areas to meet a range of specifications. Macadam surfaces are long lasting, require low maintenance, they may be used in all types of weather and are very durable.
The surface type used for tarmacadam recreational surfaces is porous so that water will drain through without flooding an area, this makes is great for surfaces which the public will be using. If you are thinking about installing a macadam surface, you should do some background checks. This is because you need a surface which you can use and be happy with and not one which poor quality or doesn't meet your requirements.
The costs of installing tarmacadam outdoor flooring surfaces will vary from each job, it depends upon the area size, locations, existing surface and conditions and the type of design specification which you choose. We would be happy to create a bespoke design of the recreational tarmac areas for you and discuss the costs for this work, contact us through our enquiry form and we'll get in touch as soon as possible.
If any damages appear on your recreational tarmac surfaces it'll be a low cost to repair and it's a simple issue which can be repaired easily. The damages are normally just cracks appearing and this could be fixed by putting a new layer of the asphalt in to fill damaged the area. We can complete maintenance for your macadam surface to help prevent any issues and keep it in top condition for as long as possible.
We can install tarmacadam for recreational areas, if you are looking for a surface that requires little maintenance and can undergo heavy use. If you have any questions regarding tarmacadam surfacing that may be installed for recreational spaces, please get in touch now using the contact form.
Macadam outdoor play surfacing is great because it allows you to be creative with the flooring. There are loads of options to make the surface unique for your facility. We can apply paint to a range of outdoor macadam surfaces in several colours. This is an excellent way to quickly give your surface some colour and make it look new.
We use anti-skid macadam paint and this will cover up any old markings which are on the tarmacadam surface. The good thing about the paint is that it is available in a range of colours and this lets you brighten up your facility. It's vital if you have a tarmacadam surface in a school or nursery that you make it exciting by having games and activities upon the surface.
Thermoplastic marking designs can transform an existing surface into a fun macadam outdoor play surfacing area. This can encourage physical activities and education for children. To install the playground markings, the thermoplastic material is set out onto the tarmacadam and then it is heated at a high temperature until it melts onto the surface. It is a very fast process which is great for schools. It means the children may be out and playing as soon as the markings fully set. It's also cost effective for you as we don't have the costs of multiple days on site.
Previously, paint would be applied to the tarmac but this can fade over time and wear out. Thermoplastic marking designs will last a lot longer and look a lot better because they are brighter. If you're thinking about installing tarmacadam recreational surfaces for your outdoor area, please get in contact with us for more details. We can provide you with a range of specification sheets and designs as well as an idea of the costs for your project.
Tarmacadam is also a popular choice for sports facilities. Tarmac sports surfaces are great for things like netball, tennis and basketball. The surfacing could be installed for MUGA courts too. Once the tarmac has been installed on the facility, you may decide to alter the design by painting the surface with anti slip acrylic paint. This comes in a number of colours to meet your individual needs and requirements.
Sport line markings are also available for activities such as netball and basketball. Since kids are able to participate in numerous physical games, they can concentrate more during lessons so it is a lot easier to take in information. By participating in different games with other pupils, the children are able to develop socially as well as physically.
Kids can learn countless abilities including teamwork while actively playing the different games in the playground. It encourages them to spend more time with their classmates on the recreational spaces. Thorough doing this they can form brand new relationships. Check out our post on the benefits of outdoor play for children to find out more.
We can apply colourful designs on tarmacadam areas to improve the playground and combine decorative graphic designs. Children can enjoy fun activities in addition to enhancing their physical health and learning valuable skills. They are perfect for all pupils age 5-11 in both KS1 and KS2. We can install academic markings so that the kids will play games to understand a variety of subjects. The most commonly chosen graphic designs may be things like number grids, clocks, phonics and cartoon animals.
It is very simple to install these colourful game designs onto your existing facility. We aim to cause minimum disruption and the work is usually complete in a day depending on the specification. Therefore the children can get back to having fun with the play area quickly.
Our installers will put the cut out markings onto the playground in the correct position. They will then add heat with a burner until the shapes adhere to the flooring. When the work is complete, the playground marking graphics result in a vibrant and durable finish. They are an effective way to enhance a play area's appearance making it more enjoyable for the children. We take pride in being able to educate and entertain through the colourful recreational markings.
You can find out more about tarmacadam recreational surfaces by contacting our team using the enquiry form provided. We will respond with details regarding the tarmac surfacing and where we can install it. We will also offer additional details on playground markings which we can add to tarmac recreational areas along with non slip painting.

Review | The Dressing-Up Box and Other Stories by David Constantine
Dressing-up box
The Dressing-Up Box and Other Stories, David Constantine, Comma Press, 2019, 256pp, £14.99 (hardback)
David Constantine's fifth collection of short stories, The Dressing-Up Box and Other Stories, is ostensibly about loss, conflict and loneliness. His characters are driven to the edge as they struggle to engage with the world and must deal with their suffering. Yet, throughout the collection, the author clings to the promise of hope during turbulent times.
Opening with the title story, 'The Dressing-Up Box', Constantine has his readers guessing from the get-go. A group of children board themselves up in the 'Big Safe House' while an unnamed conflict rages in the outside world. In these difficult times, the children find hope in the discovery of an immense dressing-up box, which seems like 'the upsurging and overflowing, of a source that would always replenish and never never end'. Despite this reprieve, the conflict and its eerie ambiguities set the tone for the rest of the collection.
Other conflicts hit closer to home, such as the divisive, racist forces in 'Rivers of Blood' and the climate crisis in 'Siding with the Weeds'. Taking its title after Enoch Powell's infamous speech, Harry and Alice, two long-time elderly friends, remember the racial tensions of the late 60s. Harry reflects on the fairer society they witnessed develop, and then 'the counter-revolution, the systematic rolling of it back, to the state we are in now'. Constantine pushes us to acknowledge the injustices in society, but also our collective guilt, that human cruelty has left us 'steeped, steeped, steeped in blood'. Children are again posited as a source of hope in favour of positive change against suffering (the promise and threat of generational 'revolution' and 'counter-revolution' resonates throughout the collection).
In 'Siding with the Weeds', Joe visits Bert for the first time in years to find his friend living in the shadow of grief after his wife's death. Bert has taken residence in a converted shed to hide from his house full of memories. Bert's own loss leads him to grieve the death of the natural world. He revels in the weeds growing through the abandoned hotel behind his house, in trees sprouting from bombsites, in nature's reclaiming Chernobyl. Intermingling misanthropy and, ultimately, a call to action, the story advocates 'siding with the weeds' – for the natural world to reclaim ours and overgrow the wounds of personal, political and ecological disaster. I found Constantine's power to make a personal tale ring with social commentary deeply affecting.
Throughout The Dressing-Up Box and Other Stories, the author continually explores one's distancing away from the modern world, in all its barrenness, and towards nature: a father plumbs the ocean's depths for no apparent reason, to the horror of his young daughter; two children witness the sorrow of a widow, who can no longer find flowers to pick on the beach as she did with her husband; elsewhere, a neighbour passes the night listening to the darkness from her shed comes to light.
Individuals drift away from the world, often pining after another, to haunt those who observe it. Constantine paints these portraits with such delicacy of feeling that he creates an intense impression of personal suffering, almost dreamy and fable-like in style. Indeed, he makes us believe that a person's tears 'must surely be weighted with the sorrow of the whole wide world'.
The collection ends poignantly with 'Ashton and Elaine', a story of an isolated individual brought back from the edge. Ashton, an abandoned, mute child, is able to reconnect with the real world against the odds, through the help and love of those around him. This necessary and hopeful conclusion leaves us with a sense of resolution denied by the stories that precede it.
Like the 'dressing-up box' of the title – that container of alternate worlds which allows the children to escape their harsh reality – the collection also contains such possibilities. But between the pages, Constantine reflects on the forms of escapism it offers. While the dressing-up box provides hope for the children, their ability to imagine something better for themselves gives us hope as readers. Perhaps in their well-organised, peaceful community (starkly contrasting Golding's Lord of the Flies), Constantine envisages the same for us.
The story of the dressing up-box, despite its troubled backdrop, seeks to discover a better future in the next generation. However illusory or confined to make-believe, whether from books or dressing-up boxes, there may be truth in it yet. Children like Greta Thunberg are already leading the way where adults have failed. Perhaps we need these stories to remind us not to give up and to take the step.

The Amazon contains over 4,000 miles of rivers inside the world's largest tropical rainforest. This enormous river basin is supported by numerous upstream tributaries that begin in the Andes mountains, stretching across five culturally and politically diverse nations. Current and proposed dams along major tributaries threaten the connectivity and diversity of the ecosystem. Most assessments of the river network ignore the interconnectedness of the waterways and the unique traits of individual tributaries. However, new research has closely documented for the first time the proliferation and impact of hydropower along the Amazon and its Andean headwaters.
Hydropower dams are much more prevalent than previously estimated: the study found 302 existing or proposed dams, nearly two times higher than previously reported. Peru has the highest number of existing and proposed dams (170), and Columbia the lowest (zero existing dams and one proposed).
Most dams disrupt connectivity in tributaries rather than the mainstems of the Amazon. However, this is likely to change under future dam development scenarios that would lead to greater losses of network connectivity.
The Andean Amazon holds more fish diversity than previously accounted for. In the first estimate for the region, almost 700 species of fish were accounted for at >500m elevation. There are an estimated 3500-5000 species of fish in the Amazon overall, including numerous migratory species that depend on river connectivity.
The presence of dams influences many natural and cultural processes downstream, such as sediment deposition, carbon storage, continuation of protected area status, and cultural connectedness of indigenous peoples.
In the Andean Amazon region, the effect of hydropower dams can only be fully understood when considered cumulatively and synergystically. More international cooperation and better transboundary management are needed to protect river connectivity throughout the entire watershed. All Amazonian countries recognize the value of intact forests, but this view needs to be extended to include intact river systems as well.

Civilization of the Living Dead: Canonical Monstrosity, the Romero Zombie, and the Political Subject
Nicholas Walter Robbins, Graduate Center, City University of New YorkFollow
Aesthetics | Film and Media Studies | Political Science
horror, monstrosity, political theory
This dissertation analyzes the canonical monsters of Western political theory, including Plato's wolf-man, Hobbes's Leviathan and Tocqueville's mechanical mass. It argues that monster theorists - including horror film director George A. Romero, creator of the zombie and its apocalyptic narrative - utilize the horror genre in order to reveal the hidden dysfunctions and unrealized potentials of self and society. The canon features several prison-like heuristics - including Plato's cave, Hobbes's sate of nature, Tocqueville's prison, and Romero's zombie apocalypse - that bring to light the mass enslavement, intellectual dysfunction, appetitive tyranny, and cannibalism of the political subject. Theorists consistently depict cannibal machines - such as Marx's factory and Arendt's concentration camp - that devour unconscious automaton masses. This raises the question: is civilization, as it has been constituted, worth the living death and cannibal consumption that it entails? Monster theorists use the monster not only to reveal our deepest dysfunctions, but also to inspire us to transcend, through various forms of collective rationality, the appetitive tyranny that imprisons humanity.
