Trends & Impressions
The purpose of this chapter is to delineate and summarize, in an anecdotal way, the important issues in mathematics education raised by this project. The authors shot more than three hours of video of eight major industries and businesses in Macon, Smith, Sumner, and Trousdale counties. We surveyed fifty other area industries by mail, and spoke extensively with more than forty people -- from those who direct the fate of their companies to those who simply do its bidding. The following trends emerged, unanimously.
Growing Sophistication of Entry Level Jobs
At R.R. Donnelly and Sons Company, a printing business, entry level jobs used to revolve around the loading of printed materials onto trucks. The company is now moving toward the use of robots to do this task. In the near future, an entry level person will have to have the skill necessary to operate robotic machinery. There will still be entry level jobs in the future, but they will, in the words of one supervisor, require "more brains and less brawn." Several representatives said that it only makes sense for companies to eliminate as many unskilled positions as possible. This means that those who have good mathematics skills will stand a better chance of being employed.
More Mathematics Means More Money
The authors asked each management person if taking more mathematics courses translated into making more money. All emphatically said yes. Machines are the life blood of any industry, and they must be reliable if the company is to make a profit. Those who keep those machines running have some mathematical know how and, as one human resource director put it, are not "afraid of a little math." These people are also at the top of the pay scale. As far as advancement goes, passing a mathematics test is often the key to a promotion even if mathematics is not used extensively in the job being sought. (One such test is found in Appendix D.) One of the continuing refrains heard on this project was the desire for employees who are "teachable." Although educators and learning theorists may debate just what it is that makes someone "teachable" or "trainable," many employers in the industrial sector think they know what it is -- a solid background in mathematics.
Problem Solving Above All
What do those people engaged in industrial technology consider to be a solid background in mathematics? Specifically, they mentioned ratios, percentages, percents, reading an SPC chart, algebra, and especially word problems. More than one industry representative spoke at length about the value of "thinking through a process." People in technology need to solve problems almost on a daily basis. These problems all come as words and have some context. It is not enough to be able to find eight percent of a number. What really matters is to be able to analyze a problem and to determine that calculating eight percent of the number is the correct thing to do in a given situation. Everyone interviewed thought that algebra, with its "story problems," served to develop this type of problem solving skill that is highly valued on the job. One human resource director stated that although he "suffered through two semesters of statistics and calculus," he can now see the secondary benefit of that experience in his current job.
Working in Groups
Not only should someone in the technological industries be able to solve problems, but he or she should be able to coordinate his or her efforts with fellow workers. In industry, there is complete faith in the "team concept." Many companies have eliminated a great deal of middle management. This means that people on a production line develop their own budget, troubleshoot glitches in the process, and generally solve their own problems. This is true of the health care industry as well. All of the health care professionals interviewed on this project saw themselves as part of a team that diagnoses a problem and develops a solution. This idea has obvious implications for the mathematics classroom. Getting four or five students to actively participate together in the solution of a "story problem" could accurately simulate the future for at least two of them.
Not Everybody Becomes a Doctor or a Lawyer or; There is Life With Less Than a Bachelor's Degree
There are good jobs in industry. Unfortunately many students in high school and college are unaware of them. Many of the representatives talked about the fact that they never saw themselves in their current jobs. One of the most frequent reasons they gave for that was that they did not know that the job existed. One person in the road paving business stated that there was definitely a lucrative future in it for a young person. It is perceived by many young people as just the opposite. Paving roads does involve being out in all types of weather and is not a white collar job.
The good news is that there are many jobs in technological and health care industries with excellent prospects. None of these jobs require a bachelor's degree. They do require some specialized post-secondary training, and mathematics is a vital component of that training. There are many two-year programs in the health care industry, for example, which produce registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists, and MRI technicians to name just a few. In the manufacturing and technology sectors there is a need for various types of technicians and engineering assistants who can receive their training in programs such as the Bosch program described elsewhere in this document.
Industry is Committed to Lifelong Learning
Every industry interviewed for this project had some type of incentive program for employees to continue their education. Employment in technology and health care is not a stagnant condition. One does not simply "go to work at the factory" and cease to learn new things. Industry is increasingly doing more training of its own and in partnership with nearby community colleges and vocational schools. Old jobs are being eliminated and new jobs created at a rapid pace. The new jobs require more sophistication. This means more mathematics and computer skills. Very often an employee can receive tuition reimbursement if he or she takes courses that improve job performance and earns a grade of C or better.
Not everyone is able to go to college immediately after high school or go to law, medical, nursing, or engineering school immediately after college. Why not take advantage of opportunities that exist in industry and technology for those with a good mathematical background? Jobs in technology can pay much better than minimum wage and can provide more money to pay for further education. Job experience in industry is valuable to anyone no matter what their ultimate profession may be.
Tangent Issues
There were several issues that the authors came across in this project that, while not within the strict scope of the grant, bear some discussion here and are set forth below.
Computer Skills and the Graphing Calculator
Whenever representatives discussed the need for mathematics skills, they always emphasized the importance of computer skills as well. However, they regarded the graphing calculator with bemusement if at all. On the job, whatever cannot be done with a scientific calculator is done with computer software. Although a convenient tool for the classroom teacher and a subject of some controversy as to its proper use, the graphing calculator is viewed by people in the industries as a non-essential tool.
Women Should Take More Mathematics
Many people still think of industry and technology as a man's game. This is not so. Every woman interviewed stated that she was either glad that she took four years of mathematics in high school or that she was sorry that she did not. There are job opportunities for women in all of the industries surveyed in this project. The authors even spoke to a woman who operates heavy machinery for road paving, and she expressed a great deal of job satisfaction. All of the women interviewed told the authors to encourage young women to take every mathematics course possible.
Mathematical Skill is not Everything
Every supervisor and human resource director spoke repeatedly of the need for prospective employees to develop interpersonal and communication skills. These skills are the most important of all. Even a mathematics prodigy is not as useful to a company if he or she cannot communicate well with co-workers and supervisors.
Teachers Make a Difference
Many representatives expressed gratitude to their former teachers. One engineer remembered his fourth-grade teacher using flash cards to teach the multiplication tables. One supervisor remembered a business mathematics teacher for the way that he taught percentage using base, rate, and portion -- a method he still uses today on the job. An emergency medical technician remembered her mathematics teacher's patience with those who were having a hard time. She also remembered how clearly her algebra teacher wrote equations on the board. Even in the small things that teachers do they influence students, sometimes far more than they know. Another representative who works in advanced technology remembered those teachers who "made it (learning) fun."
...And In Conclusion
The authors hope that this project will encourage teachers, students, and those from business and industry to communicate with each other on a variety of topics. Of course the sharing of mathematics applications is fundamental to this grant activity, but communication about job opportunities, job expectations, teacher resources, job shadowing, visitation by classes to job sites, and other such topics is also important. All of the industry representatives that the authors spoke with encouraged teachers to bring their classes to the job site to observe firsthand the kinds of jobs that are available.
The authors hope that people from both business and education will use the website created by this project to discuss shared concerns and solve common problems.

You're probably wondering what the creative cloud is. Well, simply put, it's a membership service that gives you every Adobe Creative Suite desktop application. You get Lightroom 4. You get new applications like Muse and Edge and integration with the Adobe Touch apps. You get the world's best tools for creating print, video, video, Web, HTML5, mobile content, and these apps exist on your desktop just like the boxed version. They don't exist out in the cloud somewhere. And you have access to both the Windows and Mac versions. The Creative Cloud also gives you the ability to sync, store, and share your content with anyone, anywhere, and there's actually a number of ways you can do this. Now you can drag a file into Creative Cloud.com and what it will do is actually show you the content of that file. If it's a Photoshop file, you can turn on and off layers. If it's an InDesign file, you can actually page through the different pages. Then you can turn around and share that file with anyone that you want, and as a Creative Cloud member, you get up to 20 gigs of any file type that can be synced, stored, and shared or sync 2 gigs as part of a free membership to try it out. If you're using an Adobe Touch app, you can actually sync that content to the Creative Cloud for review, for sharing, or even for further development on your desktop. Or you can use the new Creative Cloud Connection. Now that allows you to have a folder on your desktop and whatever content is in that folder will automatically get synced to the Creative Cloud. As a Creative Cloud member, you also have the ability to publish using really a variety of services. For instance, you can publish and manage up to 5 Web sites using Business Catalyst, and with the type kit service, you can actually add real fonts to your Web site very easily. You also have the ability to make apps for IOS using the digital publishing suite. You can take an InDesign file, add interactivity to it, and then you can publish it out directly to an iPad using the digital publishing suite. Now what makes Creative Cloud really unique is that it always allows you to stay a step ahead, because we can update to the applications or even add new ones as soon as they're available. For instance, we recently added Lightroom 4. We've added some new Illustrator features, and some new Muse features. And you'll even get CS7 as soon as it comes out, and these are only available to Creative Cloud members at no extra charge. So make sure you're checking back often as we add even more to the Creative Cloud.

After winning against Falkner, Ash is psyched about his next Gym Battle, but Brock notices a beautiful girl on the horizon. Soon our heroes spot a Marill but when they try and pick it up, the cry it emits is ear-shattering. Later, after another failed capture attempt by Team Rocket, Ash and Brock get separated from Misty, Pikachu and Marill. Soon the beautiful girl from the horizon charges in and grabs Ash to ask questions about her Marill. She introduces herself as Wilhelmina. A short time later, Brock has a problem: He likes Wilhelmina but if they find Marill he'll never see her again. Will Marill be reunited with Wilhelmina, and what will Brock do once they're reunited?
- Wilhelmina
- This is the second of five episodes where Pikachu imitates characters (Four if one doesn't count Dealing with a Fierce Double Ditto Drama).
- Wilhelmina is one of the few girls who like Brock back, though he didn't know it, even after she left.
- The American version of this episode was the very first of the 21st century.
- This is one of the few episodes prior to Chikorita's Big Upset to show Chikorita's jealousy towards Pikachu.
- The "Who's that Pokémon?" in this episode is Sentret.
- Brock: "My sweet angel is here. She's like a lovely dream come true."
Wilhelmina grabs Ash.
Wilhelmina: "All right you weasely Pokémon thief, what did you do with my little Marill?"
Ash: "Are you supposed to be a dream or a nightmare?"
Wilhelmina shakes Ash.
Wilhelmina: "I heard you talking about my Marill now where is it?"
Ash: "YOUR Marill?"
Wilhelmina: "YES! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY Pokémon?!"
Ash: "It... went for a little... swim."

I have been drinking this coffee for many years and can't seem to change to another style without always going back to 101.
Its the perfect dark roast but not too bitter, It also gets me going in the morning.
- Carri , drinking Peet's since Janua 3/11/13

I actually discovered this coffee by accident. I was in Nicaragua (the land of lakes and volcanoes) on a mission trip. We drank Soppexcca coffee every day, all day. It was the most delicious coffee I'd ever tasted! I was so happy to discover that Peet's Coffee carries their beans in the US!! Love this blend! Nicaragua has some of the best coffees I have tasted!

My brother in CA gave me a 6 month gift set for Christmas (2010). The last in the set was Blend 101. It was worth waiting for! Wow! What a great coffee! We are big Peet's fans, but this one was over the top!
- Tom Rodgers 11/18/10
- Sterling, VA
Just received Blend 101, Columbia, Costa Rica and House blend. The Blend 101 is by far the best. Absolutely the best cup of coffee I have had in a long time!
- Lynn Caywood 10/9/08
- Kingman, KS
We have enjoyed your excellent coffees for several years when visiting our sister in Santa Clara, CA. My niece sent me a pound of 101 this week for a gift. Today I am enjoying a big mug of freshly ground & brewed 101 blend on my patio. I was not surprised to discover from your web site that it is a Latin American blend. Latin American coffees always seem to be my favorite. So far 101 is my favorite of all your coffee that I have tried. Thank you for a high quality product. Keep up the good work.
- John Chen 6/8/01
- Fremont, CA
I've been drinking this coffee for about 8 years now. I tried many of the varieties in the Berkeley shop, but once I found 101, I've pretty much stuck to it. The experience of this coffee is pretty amazing. It is rich but not heavy, bold but not overwhelming. For me it produces an state of mental clarity and an immediate desire to drink more. The main ingredient of this experience must be the high quality bean. Enjoy with a little sugar and nothing else.

Blend 101 is a very smooth coffee with a slight tanginess when it first hits your tongue; however it has a nice clean finish. It is not a heavy coffee which I really like.

- Emeryville, CA, USA
- Emeryville, CA
To me Blend 101 is what the finest Central American coffees are all about.<p> It makes a classic lively, refreshing cup with the most amazing finish, reminding me of cocoa. It starts where House Blend leaves off and takes it to a higher level, with increased body and more distinctive flavors. Blend 101 appeals to a wide range of people and is especially good to me as a morning coffee with its crisp, cohesive flavor. This coffee is hard for some to describe because it isn't unusual, it's just delicious! Definitely one of my desert island drinks.

Greenlea Entrance Now Open
Submitted on March 18, 2011 at 11:06 AM
It's 7:57 in the morning. You think you can make it to class if you don't hit any red lights. You get to the intersection in front of Vol State and realize the traffic is backed up in both directions. Often you have to deal with the same bottleneck leaving for lunch or when the day is through…Vol State has a new entrance to help with this challenge.
The gate will be open during business hours. Public Relations Director Tami Wallace shared, "We'll have a more formal opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony next Wednesday with the Chamber of Commerce, but in the mean time we wanted to open it up today for the students to take advantage of it."
One of the first students to try out the new entrance was Josh Moore. "It's great! It's going to take care of all that congestion at the front around 9-10 in the morning. It is frustrating when you have that huge line that runs all the way out to Greenlea. I am excited about it. Even though I am coming from Hendersonville, there are plenty of times I would use this entrance rather than fight the crowd."
Pre-radiology student Joey Brady said, "I love it! I come in everyday from Nashville, and this will be a big help. It's a pain when you got to go all the way down, hit the light, and then wait in traffic, only to turn back to get into the parking lot. Now we can bypass all that mess and hopefully get a better parking place."
According to Steven Cox, "I am coming from Hendersonville, so I purposely don't take Vietnam Veterans because it's kind of a pain to get through all the lights, but now that this is much more accessible, I will probably use it more often. Even though some people complain about parking, my biggest issue is just trying to drive in and out of the campus."
SGA President Steffan Dunham who happens to be from Germany was excited about the opening, and he laughed as he said, "It's great, but it's not the Autobahn!"
Facilities Director John Mouvery said, "It has taken a little longer than originally planned due to bad weather. We have had a lot of positive feedback from students, faculty, and staff."
The gate is technically on Enterprise drive but most people are already calling it the Greenlea entrance. Personally, I have been impatiently waiting for this opening, so, if you also are using this entrance in the morning, then I will wave as we pass.

AG089: A Scare to Remember
this wiki
A Scare to Remember is the 89th episode of the AG Series and the 363rd episode of the Pokémon Anime. It deals with Pikachu losing its memory before joining Team Rocket.
As Ash and his friends walk to Lilycove City, a tree comes crashing down in front of them--pushed over by Team Rocket in their newest giant robot! They have Pikachu in hand, when the robot begins to sink into the ground and crumple. It explodes, sending everyone flying.
The kids find themselves stuck in a tree--without Pikachu. Team Rocket is lost, and Meowth is nowhere to be found. Pikachu and Meowth wake up next to each other, and to Meowth's delight, Pikachu has no memory. Meowth convinces Pikachu that he was a part of Team Rocket and that the two of them are best friends.
While the pair makes their way back to Team Rocket's secret base, Meowth witnesses Pikachu saving a Zigzagoon, not being scared of a high ledge, and even sharing an apple with Meowth. Eventually they make it back to the base, and Meowth updates Jessie and James.
Ash and friends track down Pikachu to the cabin, where Team Rocket has Pikachu attack Ash. They try to get away in their balloon, but Ash grabs on. James orders Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, and they end up crashing. Ash and Pikachu land in the river and wash ashore. When they awake, Pikachu has his memory back.
Team Rocket lands in the water nearby, and Pikachu sends them blasting off with Thunderbolt, making them realize that he got his memory back. With Pikachu's memory back, Ash and friends continue on to Lilycove City.

Yes, most women can safely ingest the three main types of artificial sweeteners used in the United States: aspartame (NutraSweet and Equal), sucralose (Splenda), and saccharin (Sweet'NLow). These sugar substitutes are used in many different types of food and drink.
Here are a few facts and cautions to keep in mind:
Aspartame is composed of two amino acids, phenylalanine and aspartic acid. It has not been shown to cause birth defects, and although some members of the public and a few scientists have raised concerns about its safety, most physicians and scientists say it's safe when used in moderation during pregnancy.
One exception is moms-to-be who have a genetic disease called phenylketonuria, or PKU. These moms need to avoid aspartame completely because PKU prevents them from breaking down the phenylalanine in their diet.
If they don't follow a specific diet, the phenylalanine builds up in their bodies and can cause brain damage in their babies. Fortunately, thanks to FDA-mandated labeling of products containing aspartame, avoiding it is relatively easy for expectant moms with PKU.
In general, some people are sensitive to aspartame and may develop a headache after consuming it. If you do get a headache after drinking a diet drink or eating food containing aspartame, there's no known increased risk to your baby, but you may want to try products that use other artificial sweeteners.
Saccharin, one of the first artificial sweeteners, is much less common today than it once was. Saccharin has not been shown to cause birth defects.
Animal studies in the 1970s suggested a possible link to bladder cancer, but larger animal studies in the 1990's didn't find this, and saccharin was later removed from the list of possible cancer-causing agents by the National Institutes of Health.
The National Cancer Institute says there's no scientific evidence that any of the artificial sweeteners approved for use in the United States cause cancer.
The main health consideration for pregnant women who use artificial sweeteners is that they may be missing out on more nutritious foods and beverages. If you drink a lot of diet soda, for instance, you may not be getting enough water, milk, or juice, all of which are beneficial to your developing baby. So be sure to eat a balanced diet and drink a variety of healthy beverages.

Paul's Aggron was a powerful Pokémon that evolved from his Lairon after A Pyramiding Rage.
As a Lairon, it was used to battle Brandon's Regice, but was only able to use Iron Defense before being frozen by Ice Beam and finished with Zap Cannon.
During Paul's battle with Ash in the Lily of the Valley Conference it was revealed that Lairon had evolved. Aggron battled against Ash's Pikachu and gained the advantage before Pikachu was switched out and replaced by Infernape. Aggron used Double-Edge while Infernape countered with Flare Blitz. Due to its Rock Head ability, Aggron was immune to Double-Edge's recoil effect. However Infernape's Flare Blitz was been strong enough to burn Aggron and when Aggron attempted to use Flash Cannon, Infernape hit it with Mach Punch before it could launch the attack, knocking it unconscious.

Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $41.00 strike price has a current bid of 30 cents. If an investor was to purchase shares of JNK stock at the current price level of $40.72/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $41.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 1.42% if the stock gets called away at the March 2014 expiration (before broker commissions). If course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if JNK shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for SPDR Barclays High Yield Bond ETF, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing JNK's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $41.00 strike highlighted in red:

Robert's story is one that is all too common, even in Oldham County. Amid the half-million-dollar homes and occasional million-dollar horses in a county with a median household income at nearly twice the state's level, more than 100 families are homeless. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's definition, Robert — who asked that his last name be withheld — and his family became homeless in the fall. That is, they lacked a consistent nighttimeresidence. As of Jan.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Lower interest rates on all student loans are in sight.
The Senate on Wednesday is set to take up a bill that would link interest rates to the financial markets, providing lower rates for all college students this fall but perhaps prescribing higher rates in the years ahead.
Critics, including liberal Democrats and student groups, call the White House-backed proposal a bait-and-switch measure that would jab future students.
Under the deal, undergraduates this fall could borrow at a 3.9 percent interest rate. Graduate students would have access to loans at 5.4 percent, and parents would be able to borrow at 6.4 percent. Those rates would climb as the economy improves.

I Like to Watch (Instantly): Lovely, Still and Bonneville
Acting-powerhouse sentimental dramas from the Netflix Watch Instantly world
Lovely, Still (2008)
Directed by Nicholas Fackler
Cast: Martin Landau, Ellen Burstyn, Adam Scott, Elizabeth Banks, Mark Booker, Candice Rose, Har Mar Superstar
Lovely, Still follows the life of eighty-something grocery store employee Robert (Martin Landau) as he strives to get through another Christmas by himself. Luckily, he meets Mary (Ellen Burstyn), a white-haired woman of the same age, and as they embark on a bumpy relationship, Robert learns—or rather, remembers—secrets about his past.
The film has a genuinely touching vibe, and Landau and Burstyn produce performances that are both tear-jerking an believable. The script has a few moments of awkward misdirection, but the simplistic dialogue also adds a nice sentimental touch and transcends the thin line between drama and reality on which the film sits. Not to mention the must-see ending. Overall, a one-of-a-kind cinematic treat.
Bonneville (2006)
Directed by Christopher N. Rowley
Cast: Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Joan Allen, Tom Skerritt, Christine Baranski, Victor Rasuk
Christopher Rowley's directorial debut depicts recently-widowed Arvilla (Oscar-awardee Jessica Lange) as she and her friends Margene (another Oscar-awardee Kathy Bates) and Carol (Oscar-nominee Joan Allen) roadtrip west to unwillingly bring Arvilla's husband's ashes to Santa Barbara, as her selfish daughter-in-law blackmails her to forcefully sell her father's house if she doesn't. As they move from one city to another, the friends experience some uncommon events that teach them valuable life lessons. Yes, the plot may seem predictable, but the talent and dynamic of the three leads transcends whatever clichés one might expect. Lange's portrayal is both heartbreaking and liberating, Bates' humor is amusing as always, and Allen's timidity is a nice touch. The landscapes shown are breathtaking and the music is entertaining. It's like Thelma & Louise, but without the murder and Brad Pitt, and with an extra sidekick on the backseat.

Revision as of 05:11, 25 June 2014
This page is the users and administrators guide for BDR. If you're looking for technical details on the project plan and implementation, see BDR Project. For detailed parameters, etc, see BDR Reference.
About BDR
BDR (Bi-Directional Replication) is a feature being progressively added to PostgreSQL core that provides greatly enhanced replication capabilities. It is available for immediate end-user deployment as a small patch on top of PostgreSQL 9.4 plus an extension module.
BDR allows users to create a geographically distributed asynchronous multi-master database using Logical Log Streaming Replication (LLSR) transport based on the changeset extraction feature introduced in PostgreSQL 9.4. It is designed to provide both high availability and geographically distributed disaster recovery capabilities.
BDR is not "clustering" as some vendors use the term, in that it doesn't have a distributed lock manager, global transaction co-ordinator, etc. Each member server is separate yet connected, with design choices that allow separation between nodes that would not be possible with global transaction coordination. Each node has a local copy of the data on all the other nodes and queries run locally on individual nodes. Each node is internally consistent at all times; the group of servers as a whole is eventually-consistent.
Some cross-database co-ordination features are provided in the form of distributed global sequences, synchronisation functions and conflict handlers.
Guidance on getting a testing setup established are in Initial setup. Please read the full documentation if you intend to put BDR into production.
More detail on the implementation of BDR, its limitations, and advantages/disadvantages can be found in the Logical Log Streaming Replication section.
BDR Quick Start
To set up BDR you'll need to:
- Install a patched copy of PostgreSQL that can support BDR;
- initdb a new data directory or upgrade your current one to support BDR;
- Configure one or more logical senders and receivers
Usually BDR is used to connect multiple separate PostgreSQL server instances. This guide will illustrate a simpler configuration that replicates between two databases on the same server instance so you don't have to juggle running multiple servers. It'll also assume you want to start a new server instance rather than BDR-enable an existing one. Those topics and more are covered in the main user guide.
Installing the patched PostgreSQL binaries
BDR is distributed as code in the 2ndquadrant_bdr repository on git.postgresql.org. Source and binary packages are in progress.
PostgreSQL 9.3 and below do not support BDR, and 9.4 requires patches, so this guide will not work for you if you are trying to use a normal install of PostgreSQL. (It is expected that PostgreSQL 9.5 will support the BDR extension without additional patches).
BDR only supports Linux and Mac OS X. You cannot use BDR on Windows yet. There are no fundamental technical barriers to supporting Windows, but it has not been a priority of the project.
Compiling PostgreSQL with BDR
A script to download and compile BDR is provided for your convenience. For those who prefer to do it by hand, see installing BDR from source.
To run the script:
curl "http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=2ndquadrant_bdr.git;a=blob_plain;f=contrib/bdr/scripts/bdr_quickstart.sh;hb=refs/heads/bdr-next" | bash
(Now, on an aside, that script could've been almost anything. It's safer to download scripts like that, read them, then run the downloaded copy.)
When it finishes, the script will print:
--------------------------- BDR compiled and installed. Sources at /home/myuser/2ndquadrant_bdr/bdr-src Installed to /home/myuser/2ndquadrant_bdr/bdr Now add it to your PATH: export PATH=/home/myuser/2ndquadrant_bdr/bdr/bin:$PATH and carry on with the quickstart at https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/BDR_User_Guide ---------------------------
Adjusting your environment
To actually use these new binaries you will need to do as the quickstart script suggested and:
export PATH=$HOME/2ndquadrant_bdr/bdr/bin:$PATH
This only affects the terminal you ran it in and makes no permanent changes. For how to apply the change permanently see adjusting your environment.
Now check that you're using the BDR binaries by running:
psql --version
It should print something like:
psql (PostgreSQL) 9.4_bdr0601
that mentions BDR.
Creating a BDR-enabled PostgreSQL instance
Since we're creating a new PostgreSQL instance for this example, run:
initdb -D $HOME/2ndquadrant_bdr/bdr-db -A trust -U postgres
The -A trust option tells PostgreSQL to turn off user authentication. This should never be used in production, it just keeps this quickstart simpler. Securely configuring BDR is covered in BDR Administration.
Start the server
export PGPORT=5599 pg_ctl -l $HOME/2ndquadrant_bdr/bdr-db.log -D $HOME/2ndquadrant_bdr/bdr-db -w start
The server will start up, printing:
waiting for server to start.... done server started
If you instead get:
waiting for server to start........ stopped waiting pg_ctl: could not start server Examine the log output.
then take a look at $HOME/2ndquadrant_bdr/bdr-db.log to see what happened. Most likely you already have a server running on port 5599 or you're repeating a step and the BDR postgres server is already running on that port.
Create the databases
We need two (or more) databases to test BDR with, since we're going to be running it between two databases within one PostgreSQL install. So run:
createdb -U postgres bdr1 createdb -U postgres bdr2
to create the two databases.
It is important that you leave bdr2 empty, but if you like you can now make a few tables within bdr1, add some rows, etc.
Enable the BDR extension
You now have a running PostgreSQL server. It behaves like any ordinary PostgreSQL server at this point, but it's time to change that.
Add the following lines to the end of $HOME/2ndquadrant_bdr/bdr-db/postgresql.conf:
# Generic settings required for BDR #---------------------------------- # Allow two other peer nodes, plus one for init_replica max_replication_slots = 3 # Two peer nodes, plus two slots for pg_basebackup max_wal_senders = 4 # Record data for logical replication wal_level = 'logical' track_commit_timestamp = on # Load BDR shared_preload_libraries = 'bdr' # BDR connection configuration #----------------------------- bdr.connections = 'nodeA, nodeB' bdr.nodeA_dsn = 'dbname=bdr2 user=postgres port=5599' bdr.nodeA_local_dbname = 'bdr1' bdr.nodeB_dsn = 'dbname=bdr1 user=postgres port=5599' bdr.nodeB_local_dbname = 'bdr2' bdr.nodeB_init_replica = on bdr.nodeB_replica_local_dsn = 'dbname=bdr2 user=postgres port=5599'
The first part covers the generic settings required to use a two-node BDR configuration. They're discussed in more detail in the BDR Parameter Reference.
The second part specifies a two-node BDR configuration where the node named nodeA runs from database bdr1 and connects to database bdr2. The node named nodeB runs from the other database bdr2 and connects back to database bdr1. init_replica means that when BDR first starts, nodeB's contents are automatically copied from nodeA's database.
This probably seems pretty confusing. That's because we're using two databases on the same PostgreSQL instance to save you the hassle of running multiple servers, which would be even more confusing. In a normal BDR deployment you would almost always run separate PostgreSQL servers, each on its own computer, where every BDR node has the same database name on a different PostgreSQL server. In that case the local_dbname parameters are no longer required.
If you don't fully understand this section, don't worry, there are more examples in the admin guide.
Add a pg_hba.conf entry to allow replication
PostgreSQL requires that you explicitly enable replication in the host-based access control file pg_hba.conf. So edit $HOME/2ndquadrant_bdr/bdr-db/pg_hba.conf<tt> and add the following lines (or uncomment the ones already there):
local replication postgres trust host replication postgres 127.0.0.1/32 trust host replication postgres ::1/128 trust
To learn more about this, see the docs on <tt>[1].
Restart the server
Now that you've created the databases to use and configured BDR, it's time to restart the server so BDR will get turned on. Use the same pg_ctl command, but with restart instead of start:
pg_ctl -l $HOME/2ndquadrant_bdr/bdr-db.log -D $HOME/2ndquadrant_bdr/bdr-db -w restart
Check the logs
Take a look at $HOME/2ndquadrant_bdr/bdr-db.log:
less $HOME/2ndquadrant_bdr/bdr-db.log
which should end with something like:

A reconnection truly a long time coming
ELKHART — For years, Donald Curtis could only imagine what his father was doing for Father's Day.
Last year, however, he got to spend the holiday with his father, Larry, for the first time in more than 50 years.
Donald's parents divorced when he was a young boy, and he and his father lost touch from there. Larry, now 81, said over the years that he wanted to reconnect with his son, but could never quite catch him.
Donald, 59, was in the military for eight years and was in and out of Elkhart after that.
But several years ago, Donald began kicking around the idea of finding his father and reintroducing himself.
"I was just getting old and wanted to meet him before he was gone," Donald said.
So last year, he got online and began looking for traces of Larry or any family. It only took him a couple days to find and contact Larry's daughter and Donald's half-sister, Laura Anglemyer, and asked if Larry might be interested in sitting down with his son. Donald was admittedly a bit apprehensive about putting the offer to Larry.
"Get him out here!" was his father's response, assuaging any nerves Donald may have had.
"I was very happy to get to meet him," Donald said. Larry, who had wondered for years what his son was like, was also very excited and even teared up a bit upon meeting him again.
Were there awkward moments during their first meeting in more than a half a century? Absolutely not, according to Larry. "We had too much to talk about," he said.
According to family, from the moment the two got together, it seemed as if they had never been separated at all. As soon as they began chatting, the two men found they shared many interests, including classic cars and attending car shows.
"It's a wonder they didn't bump into each other (at a car show)," Larry's wife, Sharon, added with a laugh.
"It took too long to get back together," Larry lamented. Since the day they first reconnected, though, father and son have simply enjoyed having the other as part of their life again.

Comments On Mar 26, 2013:These were my first MX pants so didn't really know what to expect. The fit was right on target as far as what I wear in normal pants. The only reason I gave them a 4 was some of the stiching came loose and had to be clipped with scissors. Anyhow good value for the price.

ECU is 2 and 0 on the season after defeating Florida Atlantic University at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium Thursday night 31-13.
East Carolina officially opened its 2013 Conference USA schedule with Florida Atlantic at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
The game was billed as a "Blackout" as players will wear special black uniforms and fans are also encouraged to wear black.
ECU extended its C-USA home winning streak to six straight games and pushed its record to 2-0 for the first time since 2010 after opening the new campaign with a 52-38 victory over Old Dominion last week.
The matchup also represented the second contest of a season-opening three-game homestand for the PIrates, who will follow by meeting ACC member Virginia Tech on September 14th.
Thursday's game was the first ever meeting between ECU and FAU.
The game was televised nationally on the new Fox Sports 1.

I love Morgan Freeman. He has a way of talking. Like when he is teaching the dog to fetch a ball. Morgan Freeman throws it and the dog just lays there. He says "Maybe it's the word Fetch that doesn't resonant perhaps retrieve will stimulate some long dormant instinct" or when he is invited to a seven year olds party he says "I greatly appreciate being included in your celebratory plans and I will be sure to mark that special day on my calendar." In this movie, The Magic of Belle Isle, Monte Wildhorn (Morgan Freeman) is a writer of western novels whose wife died seven years ago and with her passing he gave up writing. We see him arrive at the island brought there by his nephew. Monte is in a wheel chair a bit cantankerous and drinking heavily. He moves in next door to Charlotte O'Neil (Virginia Madsen) and her three daughters. The middle daughter, Finnegan asks Monte to teach her how to use her imagination. Monte becomes her mentor. As time passes, Monte develops a fondness for the O'Neils and they of him. The plot is predicable but who cares, you get a warm feeling of happiness from this movie and that's all that matters. Monte does write some a story or two, but not a western. It's about an elephant, the youngest girl loves elephants. Through the story of the elephant Monte lets Charlotte know that he likes her and for those of us too dense to figure it out Charlotte while reading the story says I think he likes me. Monte is invited over for dinner and Charlotte plays the piano. Monte comments that for playing like that he would leave his windows open. Later in the movie when Luke and Joe are trying to buy the rights to the books to make a movie we hear piano playing. Monte tells Luke and Joe that the music is for him and it's personal so they have to go. Monte lies in bed listening to the music and dreams of sipping wine with Charlotte and dancing by moonlight. He is awakened by the dog licking his face. I don't think it will spoil anything to let you know that the dog eventually does fetch a ball. They show that very comically. Monte tosses the ball and the dog heads in the exact opposite direction. Monte says "I admire consistency" then the dog shows up with the ball. This could be a Hallmark movie of the week. I loved it mostly because of Morgan Freeman and his portrayal of Monte Wildhorn. Give it a watch some time when you want a warm fuzzy.

Philadelphia Sights
Today you can find Philadelphia's compact 5-square-mile downtown (William Penn's original city) between the Delaware and the Schuylkill (pronounced skoo-kull) rivers. Thanks to Penn's grid system of streets—laid out in 1681—the downtown area is a breeze to navigate. The traditional heart of the city is Broad and Market streets (Penn's Center Square), where City Hall now stands. Market
Street divides the city north and south; 130 South 15th Street, for example, is in the second block south of Market Street. North–south streets are numbered, starting with Front (1st) Street, at the Delaware River, and increasing to the west. Broad Street is the equivalent of 14th Street. The diagonal Benjamin Franklin Parkway breaks the rigid grid pattern by leading from City Hall out of Center City into Fairmount Park, which straddles the Schuylkill River and Wissahickon Creek for 10 miles.
Although Philadelphia is the fifth-largest city in the nation (about 1.5 million people live in the city, 6.4 million in the metropolitan area), it maintains a small-town feel. It's a cosmopolitan, exciting, but not overwhelming city, a town that's easy to explore on foot yet big enough to keep surprising even those most familiar with it.

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Despite an off night from their two stars, the
Milwaukee Bucks hung around.
But all it took was one huge Miami Heat burst to squash any hopes of an upset.
LeBron James had 19 points, eight rebounds and six assists in Miami's 98-86
win over the Bucks in Game 2 of this Eastern Conference first-round series.
In the blink of an eye, the Heat went on a 12-0 run to begin the fourth to
turn a three-point lead into a 15-point cushion.
They never looked back.
Dwyane Wade tallied 21 points and seven boards for the Heat, who took a 2-0
edge in the best-of-seven set.
After combining for 48 points on 18-of-39 shooting in Game 1, Brandon Jennings
and Monta Ellis totaled just 15 points on a 5-of-22 clip. Neither player
recorded a field goal in the first half.
Ersan Ilyasova registered 21 points and six rebounds for Milwaukee, which will
host Game 3 on Thursday.

... is already underway. Saw from their twitter that A&M is up 9-6 after a 5-0 run to force an ISU timeout. Supposedly there's Gametracker and live video for this, but I haven't got either of them to work. Anybody else have better info?
No, I can't get them to work either.
Can't get them to work either... this is what I had..
The grass always looks greener, on the other side of the fence, but the dog over there might be meaner, on the other side of the fence
Stay in your own yard, play in your own yard!
That's what I had too. If Gametracker ever gets working, it's here:
From @CycloneVB:
"ISU ties it up at 20-20 on back-to-back kills from Henson. First tie since 6-6. Henson has six kills on seven swings."

22-21 Cyclones on a Straube kill.
gametracker just started working for me
Set State!!!!
25-22. ISU takes the first set.
Yeah me too. We take game 1 25-22 with a kill from Rachel Hockaday.
video is up now
Not sure of the score, but ISU has run off a few straight at the beginning of the 2nd.

Episode Plot
Near a Pokémon Center on a snow-covered seashore, Pikachu and its friends make a Snorlax out of snow. That night, they wake up to see the snow Snorlax outside their window, come to life! All the Pokemon sneak out to play with the Snorlax who leads them out to a fruit tree growing on a cliff. Snorlax wants the fruit, but the cliff collapses under Snorlax's weight. Fortunately, everyone lands on the Snorlax which acts just like a sled--but it slides all the way out to the shore and right onto a drifting ice floe!
The drifting Pokémon are sucked into a whirlpool, but Snorlax freezes the whirlpool into an icy viewing platform where everyone can watch Water-type Pokemon swimming through the sea. The Pokemon try to sail away on a boat made of ice, but it falls apart and two Lapras come. They bring them to a land of Snorlax snowmen where the snow Snorlax can join its friends, then take Pikachu and the gang back home. Pikachu and its friends fall asleep and wake up the next morning, back in the Pokemon Center. Their snow Snorlax is still outside--is it all a dream or just some wintertime magic?
- This episode maybe partly based on the popular children's book "The Snowman" by Raymond Briggs.

Documenting new seabird-colony Important Bird Areas, finding previously undocumented colonies and colonies thought to be extirpated: these are just some of the exciting discoveries reported within Environmental Protection in the Caribbean's (EPIC's) ground-breaking Seabird Breeding Atlas of the Lesser Antilles.
The presence of the invasive Boa constrictor was first documented in Aruba in April of 1999. Ever since, the numbers of boas caught by the Park Rangers has been impressive. Hundreds are caught each year and only those seen in areas frequented by persons who then notify the Rangers for their assistance. It is safe to presume that a multifold of those caught actually live in Aruba's wildlife.
The recently established Aruba Birdlife Conservation Foundation have just visited the Governor of Aruba, Mr Fredis Refunjol. The Governor was informed of the role the foundation intends to play in conserving Aruba's nature in general and more specifically the island's wild birds, and the Governor pledged his support for their work.

If you haven't done so already and you're in one of the 45 states, plus the District of Columbia, that signed on to participate in the Common Core State Standards Initiative, take a moment before the end of the month to see if your school's technology infrastructure is ready to handle the electronic assessments that are also part of the project.
The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) and the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, the two groups chosen to develop the online tests, have jointly created the Technology Readiness Tool– a detailed questionnaire that asks schools about the state of their IT program.
Along with hardware purchasing guidelines, the readiness tool helps districts see where they are and where they need to be, in terms of technology, when Common Core goes live in 2014-2015.
As a reminder, Common Core State Standards for reading and math were released in the summer of 2010. Internationally benchmarked and designed to be clearer and more rigorous than the patchwork of state standards, the standards are scheduled to be implemented, complete with new computerized assessment systems in two years.
Read ASBJ's March 2011 issue for a great primer on the initiative and logon to take the technology readiness assessment by June 30. The consortia will use the answers supplied by districts to make decisions on how the implementation, such as how long to keep the testing window open.

This week I've been doing small editorials for Milk Made working with All Day Everyday and a Leica M9. Everything I've gone to so far has involved music in some shape or form. Here are some of my favorite images from the week thus far. The first night features Hole and Courtney Love at the Hiro Ballroom. The second night features Our Mountain, whose members include model Abbey Lee Kershaw. Theophilus London also stopped by the Milk Basement. The third night was held at the Mondrian Soho with a performance by Neon Indian. Some of the images have already made it onto Milk Made.

Was that a guitar screaming the very high note at the end, or was it someone singing? Either way, it was borderline orgasmic.

The Enterprise finds an asteroid that contains a generational ship on a collision course with an inhabited planet.
The USS Enterprise is attacked by primitive, chemical-fueled nuclear missiles. The crew of the Enterprise destroy the missiles and trace back to their source. Kirk orders the Enterprise to proceed to the source of the missiles at warp factor 3. Meanwhile, during a routine health check, it is discovered that Dr. McCoy has a rare illness, xenopolycythemia, that has no known cure and that he will die within a year. McCoy insists that he can remain in his post, but Kirk immediately informs Starfleet and asks for a replacement.
Act One
Arriving at the missiles' point of origin, the Enterprise finds only what appears to be an asteroid, 200 miles in diameter, that is not in any orbit but follows an independent course through the local solar system. Upon scanning, it is found that the "asteroid" is an atomic-powered spaceship. There are no living creatures detected, leading Spock to presume that the passengers are dead. More seriously, the asteroid's course, 241-mark-17, puts it on a course to collide with Daran V, a planet with a population of 3.724 billion, in 396 days. The Enterprise charts a parallel course to the asteroid/spaceship.
Kirk and Spock prepare to beam onto the asteroid/spaceship, but McCoy insists on joining them. Arriving inside the asteroid, they find a surface that appears geologically active, with a reddish sky, and are puzzled that the builders apparently wanted the inside of the ship to look like a planet. The surface is dotted by large cylinders, from which a band of primitive, sword-bearing men emerges, led by a beautiful woman. After a brief melee, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy are captured, McCoy sharing a meaningful look with the woman before he is knocked unconscious.
The leader of these people is a priestess, Natira, and she reveals that the asteroid/ship is called Yonada. The three are taken below the surface, where they encounter a large population of young and apparently healthy people. Natira leads the three into a temple, where she consults a deity called Oracle. Kirk and McCoy estimate that after 10,000 years in this multi-generational ship, they no longer realize they are in a spaceship. The Oracle immediately renders Kirk, Spock, and McCoy unconscious with an energy beam.
Act Two
The three revive, although McCoy remains out longer due to his illness. Kirk informs Spock about McCoy's condition. An old man gives them an herb derivative to counteract the effects of the Oracle's attack, noting that many people on the ship have been punished in this way. When they tell him they are not from Yonada, he recalls how he once climbed the mountains, "even though it is forbidden," and found that the world of Yonada is not a planet at all. He dies immediately, apparently from a subcutaneous control device in his temple. Natira comes in, and seems to take a special interest in McCoy. Kirk recommends that McCoy use this relationship to find out more about the civilization. The Captain is faced with a triple dilemma: either risk violating the prime directive by informing the people of Yonada of their situation, destroy the asteroid with them in it, or allow it to destroy Daran V. Natira admits that she is in love with McCoy and wants him to stay on Yonada as her mate. She speaks of a final destination that is rich and green, and notes that the Oracle has promised they shall reach it soon. When McCoy tells her he has only a year to live, she tells him even a year with him will make her happy.
Spock and Kirk make their way to the Oracle's temple, and Spock recognizes the writing as that of the Fabrini, a civilization wiped out 10,000 years ago, when their star went nova. He also sees a symbolic map of the Fabrina solar system. Prior to dying out, the Fabrini had lived underground to protect themselves; they also built this spaceship Yonada and programmed the Oracle, which is actually a powerful computer, to take it to another habitable planet. The people of Yonada are their descendants. Spock manages to open the door, and the two conceal themselves in the temple as Natira enters. She asks the Oracle for permission to marry McCoy, and the Oracle grants it, so long as McCoy agrees to join the Fabrini and submit to the instrument of obedience. As she's leaving, however, the Oracle discovers Kirk and Spock and zaps them. They are arrested and sentenced to death.
Act Three
McCoy agrees to stay on Yonada, but begs that Kirk and Spock be released. Natira agrees. As Kirk and Spock prepare to return, McCoy insists on staying; there is a brief conflict between the two, but Kirk agrees to leave him behind. He and Spock return to the Enterprise. In a ritual with the Oracle, McCoy has the instrument of obedience implanted in his head, and he and Natira are married. At the Oracle's command, she teaches him about an ancient book that is to be opened and read when the ship reaches the "New World of the Promise." Meanwhile, Kirk consults with Admiral Westervliet, who relieves him of all responsibility for the Yonada and says Starfleet will handle the situation from now on. McCoy calls the ship and tries to explain that by consulting the book Spock can change the Yonada's course. But his control device immediately sends him a shock of pain, and he passes out as Natira enters.
Act Four
Kirk and Spock return to the Yonada and Spock removes McCoy's instrument of obedience, breaking Natira's heart. She tries to call for the guards, but Kirk subdues her and persuades her to give them a chance. He explains the history of the Fabrini and Yonada. She is very skeptical of the story, and the Oracle begins to torment her through her instrument. She flees, but does not turn Kirk over to the guards. Kirk and Spock have found that a faulty part of the Oracle computer has caused a change in course. Natira talks to the Oracle, which knocks her out. When Kirk, Spock, and McCoy arrive, she agrees with them and McCoy takes out her instrument. Kirk and Spock move to take the book out of the temple, but the Oracle fights them, kicking up a storm and increasing the temperature to 120 degrees. McCoy shows them how to open the safe containing the book, and Spock uses the book to disable the Oracle and reprogram the spaceship's course.
McCoy and Natira have a tearful farewell: She must stay to lead her people to the promised land, and McCoy determines to keep traveling the universe in search of a cure. After correcting the Yonada's course, Spock shows Kirk the vast database of the Fabrini, which contains medical knowledge, including the cure for xenopolycythemia. McCoy undergoes the very painful treatment for his illness, emerging cured, and Kirk promises him the Enterprise will return to the area when the Yonada reaches its correct destination.
Log Entries
- Captain's log, stardate 5476.3. I have just had the sad duty of informing Starfleet about Dr. McCoy's condition and have requested an immediate replacement.
- Captain's log, stardate 5476.4. We are on a parallel course with Yonada. It is still on a collision course with Daran V. Our failure to correct its course, and the critical nature of Dr. McCoy's illness, made the extraordinary event of contact with Starfleet Command imperative.
Memorable Quotes
"A lot can happen in a year. Please, give yourself every minute."
- - Chapel to McCoy, on his illness
"Welcome to the world of Yonada."
"I can't say I think much of your welcome."
- - Natira and Kirk, after the ambush on the landing party
"We've come in friendship."
"Then learn what it means to be our enemy before you learn what it means to be our friend."
- - Kirk and the Oracle, as it punishes the landing party
"But things are not as they teach us. For the world is hollow, and I have touched the sky."
- - Fabrini Man's last words
"Forgive him for he was an old man, and old men are sometimes foolish."
- - Natira, as she prays by the Fabrini man's body
"But we're strangers to each other."
"But is not that the nature of men and women? That the pleasure is in the learning of each other?"
- - McCoy and Natira, as she asks him to be her mate
"Until I saw you, there was nothing in my heart. It sustained my life, but nothing more. Now it sings. I could be happy to have that feeling for a day, a week, a month, a year."
- - Natira, before kissing McCoy
"Is truth not truth for all?"
- - Natira, challenging the Oracle
Background Information
- The idea of a multi-generational spaceship or "interstellar ark" is an old one that was first proposed in an unpublished paper by Robert Goddard in 1918. Goddard's fellow rocket pioneers Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and J.D. Bernal also considered the idea in the 1920s. Olaf Stapledon and Don Wilcox wrote stories about the idea in the 1940s, and Robert Heinlein originated the notion that inhabitants might forget they were on a ship in his book Orphans of the Sky. The energy, ecology, and life support needs of such a ship would be considerable.
- The Book of the People is the same as Chicago Mobs of the Twenties in "A Piece of the Action".
- The metal helical staircase is recycled from "The Empath".
- The scenes of Yonada are reused footage of the asteroid from "The Paradise Syndrome", and the curved staircase in the control room at the end of this episode seems to be the same one used inside the Obelisk in that same episode.
- This is the only series episode to feature three actors who appeared in the original pilot "The Cage": Leonard Nimoy (Spock), Majel Barrett (Nurse Christine Chapel) and Jon Lormer (old man) (not including "The Menagerie, Part I" and "The Menagerie, Part II", which features much footage from "The Cage"). Barrett and Lormer played Number One and Theodore Haskins, respectively, in the pilot.
- Whether by chance or design, the music that accompanies the appearance of the old man played by Jon Lormer is the same music by Alexander Courage that played during some of his lines as Dr. Theodore Haskins in "The Cage".
- To give more depth to the planet set, the entrances to the underground civilization were built in two sizes: those in the distance were constructed much smaller, thus creating an illusion of distance.
- The bridge scene that runs under Kirk's voiceover at the start of Act One – where Kirk enters the bridge from the turboshaft – is the same footage from the very beginning of the episode.
- The field reader tube, normally used to take a medical patient's vital signs, is used in this episode by Spock to extract the instrument of obedience from Natira. This marks the only apparent close-up use of this prop in the series.
- In the beginning of Act One, the stock footage of Chekov at the nav station is altered. If you watch closely, they looped the footage so that Chekov's usual gaze down at the console to push a few buttons is omitted, so that he appears to be looking straight ahead at the viewscreen. This shows up especially well on a bigger screen.
- In the trailer, the scene where the Oracle turns on the heat plays without the red overlay or the heat-wave distortion effect.
- In the same scene, the reference to the temperature being "120 degrees" presumably refers to the Fahrenheit scale; while an ambient temperature of 120°F (48.9°C) would be very uncomfortable, an ambient temperature of 120°C would not only cause skin burns to all parties present and considerable damage to the book, it would also be hard to achieve without an exceptionally powerful heating element.
- This episode has the longest title of any episode in any Star Trek series.
- In an early story outline (2 May 1968) it was Scotty who was ill.
Remastered Information
- The remastered version of this episode premiered in syndication the weekend of 29 January 2007 and featured shots of a digital version of Yonada, more closely resembling real asteroids. The battle between the Enterprise and the missiles was also revamped digitally.
- The next remastered episode to air was "Journey to Babel".
