Warrior Forum WSO's seem to be all the rage these days. From learning how to use social media properly to little tips and tricks that can help grow your business and even promises of striking it rich, there are new Warrior Forum WSO's added daily. Some of them are fantastic and some leave a bit to be desired.
Unfortunately, testimonials have been abused so badly, there really isn't any way to know 100% if any testimonial is actually real or not. This is one of the major cons of Warrior Forum WSO's.
Not Satisfied? Get A Refund!!
When I choose a WSO to purchase, I forget the monetary promises. I simply purchase a WSO hoping I can get some valuable information from it and learn something. So let's say I pay $10 for a WSO about learning how to grow a Facebook following. If I actually learn some good info about how to do that, I'm happy to pay the $10 and will probably seek out more WSO's to purchase from that person. On the other hand, if all I got was some low quality PDF file and a subscription to a spammy email list, I have absolutely no reservations whatsoever to request a refund and an un-subscription from their email list. None at all.
Sure, it's only $10, but it's principle. If I didn't receive what I was promised there is no reason they should be rewarded by keeping my $10. Requesting refunds on low quality WSO's isn't just acceptable for you to do, but it helps to improve all WSO's on the Warrior Forum. If people can't get away with low quality Warrior Forum WSO's, they will be forced to produce better material, and that benefits everyone. I've found that close to 20% of all WSO's will warrant a refund.
So remember, Warrior Forum WSO's are generally over-hyped and you can't really trust the testimonials or promises being given. But with that said, some WSO's are truly gems and since WSO's are generally so cheap, it can be an amazing way to learn a lot of new techniques and methods to making money online. Just go into each WSO with a bit of cautious optimism and be prepared to ask for a refund if necessary. And of course, when you find a WSO of high quality, keep track of the person who sold you that WSO. Chances are, they have much more they can offer.

Q: Python:TypeError string indices must be integers While working with a REST API, I am getting an error like this.
TypeError string indices must be integers

My code:
response = table.get_item(
    Key={'facility_id': str(facility_id)}
)
if "Item" in response.keys():
    returnvals['status'] = 1
    item = response['Item']
    for item in response["Item"]:
        result.append({"facility_id": item["facility_id"],
        result.append({"facility_id": item["facility_id"],
                       "facility_name": item["facility_name"],
                       "display_units": item["display_units"],
                       "created_by": item["created_by"],
                       "created_date": item["created_date"],
        })

    returnvals['params'] = result

The line on which I am getting error is
 result.append({"facility_id": item["facility_id"],

What's causing this?

A: The error above :

TypeError string indices must be integers

and as you have mentioned in your question that the error is in the line below

result.append({"facility_id":item["facility_id"],

Hence, I guess that item is a string here. However, you treat it as a dictionary object and that is causing the issue.

The question of who has control over our nation's bodies of water has been debated among landowners, the federal government, and state and local authorities for years. Developers attempting to clarify which bodies of water receive federal protection, which are under the control of the states and which are unregulated have frequently been baffled. On numerous occasions, the U.S. Supreme Court has weighed in, but confusion remains. In many circumstances, the court has left the problem to be decided in a piecemeal fashion that often results in even more uncertainty.
The Clean Water Act requires landowners who have federally protected waters on their sites to obtain a federal permit (known in the industry as a 404 permit) any time they disturb, dredge or attempt to fill in a body of water. While these bodies of water often are considered wetlands, sometimes they are nothing more than man-made ditches or dry streams that only flow during certain parts of the year.
Obtaining a permit is costly and may delay development activities for years. A typical 404 permit can cost between $13,000 and $32,000. The price can soar even higher when one takes into account the mitigation efforts required to ensure that the impacts of development on the body of water are minimized.
Most recently, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers have sought to define which streams, lakes, ditches and ponds are under federal control with an administrative procedure known as a rulemaking, which has the force of law. The proposed rule, which was unveiled in April, is now the source of considerable controversy, as affected parties try to discern which types of waters will need federal permits and which will not.
The EPA is touting the 88-page "Waters of the U.S." proposed rule as providing more certainty to those affected by the Clean Water Act by clarifying which waters are federally protected. The agency estimates that it will only affect about 1,300 acres across the nation and require about a 2 to 3 percent increase in federal permits. While that number is admittedly small when taken as a whole, there are some overriding concerns about unintended consequences that could make the affected acreage much larger.
The issue has become extremely politicized. Republicans and some Democrats in both the House and Senate have raised the visibility of the rule by holding numerous hearings on the topic, sending blistering emails to the Obama administration and characterizing the proposed policy change as a federal power grab over virtually all wet areas in the U.S. In response, EPA has engaged in numerous town hall meetings and initiated conference calls with potentially affected communities and interest groups, in an attempt to reassure the public that the new rule is a clarification rather than a dramatic expansion, as critics suggest.
Of particular concern to NAIOP members is a new definition of "tributaries" to federal waters. The rule defines a tributary as "a water physically characterized by the presence of a bed and banks and ordinary high water mark, … which contributes flow" to a "water of the United States." Tributaries can be natural, man-altered or man-made and include rivers, streams, lakes, impoundments, canals and ditches. The rule would require federal permits for any activity that affects these waters.
NAIOP has actively engaged in discussions and negotiations with senior staff at EPA to determine their intent regarding stormwater control ditches, to ensure that these types of waters are not considered tributaries. EPA's response is that stormwater control features — including ditches, retention ponds and lakes, rain gardens and other green infrastructure features — will not require federal permits under the rule. They also have stated that water-filled depressions created incidental to construction activity, even if a construction project is abandoned, will not require 404 permits.
While these assurances are welcome, there is still some apprehension in the industry that the tributary definition is too broad and could have unintended consequences despite the EPA's stated intent. The proposed rule currently includes some exemptions related to upland ditches; NAIOP would like to see these exemptions expanded with further clarifying language before the regulation is finalized.
EPA and the Corps have extended the public comment period for this rule until October 20, 2014. To ensure that the agency understands and considers the interests of the commercial real estate industry, NAIOP will remain actively engaged with EPA on this issue, and will work to insert language in the final rule that codifies the agency's intent over tributaries and provides more certainty to our members.
NAIOP San Diego achieved an important legislative victory this spring. The chapter successfully organized a coalition of more than 50 companies and business organizations, the Jobs Coalition, which led the recent "Stop the Jobs Tax" effort to overturn an ordinance adopted by the San Diego City Council.

Ways emails can be viewed as sexual harassment at work
On behalf of Barrera & Associates, Attorneys posted in workplace sexual harassment on Friday, June 28, 2019.
When you arrive at work each day in El Segundo, you aren't thinking that you will be the victim of sexual harassment. It's usually not at the front of our minds, but it is something that you should think about every so often. Even though there are laws in place to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace, it still happens today. Some harassment even occurs in the form of an email.
Email is the backbone of almost every single business across the country these days and California is definitely not exempt, especially with Silicon Valley. As important as email can be to running a company, it can also be its downfall. Millions of emails are sent each day for one reason or another. Many of them are inappropriate or contain inappropriate content.
Workplaces are not immune to inappropriate emails being sent around to all of the employees. Email chains can be problematic, especially those with printed jokes, inappropriate cartoons or items of a sexual in nature.
Most companies in California have policies in place that prevent workers from sharing inappropriate content via workplace email accounts, on social media and even during business hours via personal email accounts.
All that needs to happen is for one employee to find an email offensive for it to turn into a sexual harassment issue. That is why you should always read every email you receive and report ones to human resources that have inappropriate content in them.
Preventing sexual harassment at work should not have to start with you, but in many instances, it might. The minute you notice harassment of a co-worker or yourself, report it. Document everything inappropriate and save emails that should not be distributed in a work environment.

From The Florida Independent
A proposed fetal "personhood" amendment to the Florida constitution has alarmed pro-choice activists. Backed by Personhood Florida, the amendment would define all human beings as persons "regardless of age, race, health function, condition of physical and/or mental dependency and/or disability." Thus far, the initiative has zero signatures, but itcould find its way onto the ballot with the help from the state legislature.
Stephanie Kunkel, executive director of the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, says her organization is taking the initiative "seriously," pointing out that the amendment could lead to bans on birth control.
"The personhood amendment is bad public policy, spearheaded by radical anti-choice extremists who believe that even birth control should be banned," she says. "If passed, the result would not only ban abortion, but would go so far as to ban most common forms of birth control. … This has the potential to affect millions of Florida's women, when 98 percent of women will use birth control at some point in their lives."
Though Kunkel says that Planned Parenthood aims to take the initiative seriously, she says the group recognizes that similar initiatives have failed elsewhere: "Personhood has been soundly rejected by voters in Colorado twice, once in 2008 and again in 2010. And personhood has failed to make it to the ballot in eight additional states, including Florida, in 2010, whether by legal challenge or failure to collect enough ballot signatures."
Without enough signatures, the personhood initiative would have to rely on legislative help, likely from one of Florida's most pro-life advocates.
Rep. Scott Plakon, R-Longwood, though a fierce pro-life activist, has said that he believes the legislature will focus on more pressing issues, like jobs and the economy, before placing such a stringent initiative on the ballot. Another pro-life representative, Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, has yet to make a statement regarding his support or opposition to the personhood initiative, but has endorsed the group in the past.
"If representatives like Dennis Baxley and Scott Plakon were serious about reducing the number of abortions performed in Florida, they would oppose measures that ultimately ban abortion and do nothing to prevent unintended pregnancy, like the personhood amendment," says Kunkel. "The only serious way to reduce the need for abortion is by expanding access to birth control and reducing the number of unintended pregnancies in Florida. This is a commonsense approach to reducing the need for abortion, something Planned Parenthood has been advocating for more than 90 years."

I have been recently involved in a project using the new Oracle 12c Database In-Memory product. It has been fascinating and I thought I'd share some learnings in a FAQ.
What is Oracle 12c Database In-Memory?
The Database In-Memory option is an additional option for the Oracle RDBMS as of version 12.1.0.2. It basically enables a secondary cache for existing database structures, which has a columnar storage format.
This cache is enabled on a tablespace, table, partition or column basis and when the table is accessed, the Oracle optimizer makes a decision of whether to use the row table or the columnar cache.
How much faster are tables that are cached?
This seems to vary depending on the type of query. Very simple queries like COUNT(COLUMN) are blazingly fast. Simple GROUP BY queries on a single table with simple filter predicates are also good.
However the Database In-Memory option is very much geared towards effective, efficient simple queries. This is demonstrated because when you increase query complexity, performance decreases so that by the time you get to a typical star schema OLAP query, the performance can be worse than before the in-Memory option was enabled.
The In-Memory cache is not sorted and therefore for aggregations that access a random or large volume of data, response time is good. For queries where data needs to be sorted prior to aggregation, the sort happens in the SGA and performance decreases. It is not possible to add additional indexes with specific sort orders.
How much additional memory is required?
This depends on the tables that you look to cache, but a rule of thumb is that around 50% of your database will be database tables (not indexes) and around 50% of that might be useful to put in a columnar cache.
The cache has some compression (Dictionary Encoding, Run Length Encoding, Bit Packing) and we found 1.5-10x compression. Large fact tables with lower entropy get lower compression rates, typically 1.5x. In any case, an in-memory cache of around 20% your database size is practical.
In addition, temporary RAM is required to persist interim results. For very simple range queries we found we needed a SGA of 5x the in-memory cache and for more complex queries we found we needed the SGA to be 10x the in-memory cache, for single-user operations.
There are several different types of compression that can be used, from query-optimized to storage-optimized. The storage-optimized compression types require decompression before evaluation of join predicates, which means most users will stick with query-optimized compression.
What is the cost of the In-Memory option?
This will cost you $25k per CPU at list price. In most cases, Oracle use a 2:1 core:CPU ratio so a typical 4 socket, 15 core system with 60 total cores would require 30 licenses, or $500k. That's in addition to the Oracle Enterprise, Partition, RAC and other licenses you will require like Dev, Test, HA, DR.
Note that in addition, it may be necessary to buy more hardware to support the In-Memory option, and this will incur additional Oracle Enterprise licenses and other options which are used.
Does the Database In-Memory support SAP applications?
SAP support for Oracle databases and features is determined by a joint Oracle/SAP team, and typically lags Oracle's release schedule substantially. Oracle 11g was released in August 2007, and was supported by SAP in March 2010 (shortly after Oracle 11gR2). This is likely due to the complexity of SAP applications running on Oracle databases. As of December 2014, Oracle 12c still isn't supported for SAP applications.
Since Oracle 12c isn't supported, the Database In-Memory option isn't supported. It seems likely based on past timelines that 12c support will come in mid-late 2015. This is tough for customers, because Oracle 11g is only supported until January 2016, so they will have to move quickly to upgrade.
It seems likely that support for the In-Memory option will follow in 2016.
How will the Database In-Memory option work as a sidecar for SAP?
The first scenarios for the Database In-Memory option will be as a sidecar to accelerate ERP reports. Long-running queries will benefit out of the box for certain scenarios.
SAP will presumably integrate the In-Memory option into the Data Dictionary layer so it is possible to enable a core set of tables by functional area (e.g. Finance/Controlling). The licensing implications of this are unclear, since there is no support for this yet, but it seems likely that there will be a charge for all customers, plus the cost of hardware, consistent with other database options as per SAP Note 740897.
Does the Database In-Memory work well for custom apps?
Yes, this is the primary use case for the Database In-Memory. Custom apps, especially custom data marts, should work quite well with the In-Memory option.
There is the question of cost of licenses and hardware and ROI, but from a technical perspective, it will be possible to cache tables on which it is necessary to run queries, and get good performance.
Does the In-Memory option run on existing hardware?
Yes, in theory the in-Memory option will run on your existing Oracle hardware. However, in practice you will need to augment your RAM by a significant amount to get the benefit.
In our experience, a 512GB database with an existing SGA of 128GB would require 512GB+ of RAM to take proper advantage of the in-memory option. And since you pay per CPU, it makes sense to put the maximum RAM possible into the system.
Yes, and some features of the In-Memory option, particularly the RAC data replication features, will only run on Engineered Hardware. Presumably this is because Engineered Hardware is guaranteed to have good network connectivity between nodes.
Does the Database In-Memory option scale?
Yes, it appears to scale in much the same way as Oracle RAC. Tables can be partitioned between multiple nodes, and caches are then built on those individual nodes. In theory, it is possible to scale the database to very large installations; I haven't done this and at a practical level significant discounts would be required for it to be cost effective.
What happens if you run out of RAM?
Interim results for database queries like sorts and joins, appear to be stored in row format in the SGA, so even with a single user and a SGA 10x the size of the columnar store, it is easily possible to exhaust the SGA.
When the database has exhausted the SGA, it will start to use the TEMPDB, rapidly leading to I/O waits. Once TEMPDB is exhausted, the query will crash, so you need to take care in this situation as overall system performance will suffer in the meantime.
We suspect that the SGA will have to be refactored in later versions of the database, because analytic queries can cause very poor overall system performance.
What is required to use the In-Memory option?
Analyze the performance increase, and tune the application iteratively.
There are currently no automated tools available to help with this, which makes the installation and management of the In-Memory option quite a manual process.
What is the stability like?
In previous projects with IBM DB2 BLU, we found that their new column store caused severe stability problems. The column store would crash with certain queries, and this would take the whole database server process down including the row store.
This wasn't the case with Oracle - crashes weren't observed. However at times the in-memory option seemed to cease operations and we then reinstalled Oracle to get it to reactivate. Sometimes a restart of the server or the database would fix it. No doubt this will be resolved in a subsequent release.
For instance, we found that AVERAGE is usually one order of magnitude slower than SUM and COUNT combined. And in one case, COUNT was two orders of magnitude slower than AVERAGE. More investigation is required to understand why this should be.
What happens in the event of memory errors?
Intel has ChipKill technology built into their E7 processors, which allows the detection and marking of bad DIMMs so they can be disabled. We hope that Oracle will introduce ChipKill awareness into a subsequent release as it is extremely helpful to have a means of marking bad memory segments or DIMMs.
When we had a problem with a DIMM, we experienced severe performance problems. Changing the DIMM out solved the problem.
Does the In-Memory option support parallel processing?
By default, queries do not execute in parallel, as they do with the regular Oracle RDBMS. It is necessary either to manually enable parallel processing, or to use a database hint to run the query in parallel.
In this case, the database will spin up parallel worker processes to run pieces of the query, up to the number of parallel servers that are configured. If those are already in use, then subsequent queries will have to wait for a thread to become available and often run in a single thread.
As a result a busy database may have unpredictable response times and may not share the number of parallel threads with the amount of processes and queries running at that time.
If a thread isn't available, queries may hang for seconds or minutes before they can start processing. This requires very careful tuning to get the Degree of Parallelism (DOP) correct for the data available.
In addition, there is a significant cost to spinning out parallel processes, and the Degree of Parallelism is not linear in respect to the number of threads in use.
One thing we found very interesting was that a query running with 80 parallel threads on a 40-core system ran faster than a query with 40 parallel threads. This can only be because it was taking advantage of Hyperthreading, which is only of benefit when the database is CPU-bound. But since an optimal in-memory database design is IO-bound between the CPU and RAM with current Intel hardware designs, Oracle has some optimization to do.
How does the column cache deal with data changes?
An initial version of the column store is built when the data is first accessed. This is comprised of multiple In-Memory Compression Units or IMCUs, which contain unsorted data in the same order as the row store. The IMCUs are dictionary encoded and use various compression strategies.
Because of the nature of column stores, they are effectively read-only. An insert, update, or delete requires a reorder of the attribute vector and a resort of the dictionary.
The column store is only a cache and so any inserts, updates, or deletes are persisted to the row store first, like in the regular Oracle RDBMS. These changes are also then inserted into a Transaction Journal, which is a secondary store. If there is an update or delete, then the relevant column values in the main IMCUs are then invalidated.
This Transaction Journal store is much slower and larger than the main IMCUs because it is uncompressed, and query performance will degrade as it rises in size. So a periodic merge of the Transaction Journal and IMCUs occurs, to recompress the data. In addition, when there are idle database cycles, there is a trickle load process which reduces the size of the Transaction Journal and inserts them into the IMCUs.
In theory there is a delay between row and column store data, but in practice the delay seems minimal, even with concurrent inserts and queries.
Are there limitations of the column store format?
Yes: Index Organized Tables, Clustered Tables, LONGS and Out of Line LOBS are not supported. The most serious of these is clustered tables, because applications like SAP ERP use clustered tables in Oracle for tables like BSEG (Accounting Document Segment) and this severely limits the usability of the In-Memory option for SAP ERP.
In addition, use of Active Data Guard standby instances is not supported.
