Track: What's new in MySQLSergei GolubchikIt's easy to understand that an SQL optimizer needs to know something about the data to be able to create a good query execution plan. But since the early days of MySQL history and up until MariaDB 10.0 all the optimizer could ever know about the content of your tables was the index cardinality, just one single number per index to describe all your rows. And it even knowing that little it... [read more]

Track: Performance OptimizationRené CannaòIt is essential to understand how your system performs at different workloads to measure the impacts of changes and growth and to understand how those impacts will manifest. Measuring the performance of current workloads is not trivial and the creation of a staging environment where different workloads need to be tested has it's own set of challenges. Performing capacity planning, exploring... [read more]
Alexey YurchenkoWhat is synchronous replication? For many it is just the same as asynchronous, only safer and slower. But is it all that is to that? (At this point you're probably guessing "no?") In this talk Alex will ponder eternal questions: what is "synchronous"? is it "replication"? and how new MySQL server UUIDs are relevant to that?
Track: SecurityDavid BusbySecurity isn't deploying some overbearing big brother of a hardware or software solution; it's not running scanning software which tells you you're safe; because in reality in these type of setups you're not. Security is akin to high availability you deploying multiple redundancies to ensure you can still operate, the same can and should be applied to security; identify the potential areas of...

Robert Hodges, Matthew LangUsers seeking high availability, disaster recovery and zero downtime maintenance operation for business-critical MySQL applications face confusing choices. Is multi-master or master/slave clustering better? What about synchronous versus asynchronous replication? Using a plain vanilla, stock MySQL or a modified version of it?
Track: Replication & BackupDerek DowneyFor a long time, replication in MySQL was limited to only a single master. When MariaDB 10.0 became GA, the ability to allow multiple masters became a reality. This has opened up the door to previously impossible architectures. For instance, you can now have a single replica receive changes from any number of sources to use for analytics or as a one-stop backup of a sharded environment. In... [read more]

Story - The world watches in awe as the Roebling Clipper is launched into space. Using state-of-the-art scalar engines to fly around the Moon and back in just hours, the maiden voyage of the first-ever trans-lunar passenger ship is about to make history. Among those on board: First Lady Simone Mathany, space-exploration entrepreneur Steve Roebling, Dr. Denise Balaban, pilot Fiona Henslaw, and a very lucky lottery winner. But while en route, a massive solar flare sparks a cosmic-ray burst that accelerates Aurora's engine and blows the ship away from Earth's orbit. Now out of control, it's hurtling straight for the sun. At Mission Control, along with the desperate President Thomas Mathany, an increasingly anxious team of experts puts a plan into motion - an interception by a shuttle attached to the International Space Station. When that ends in disaster, the Aurora only picks up speed. Now being pulled toward the sun at three percent of the speed of light, it's only a matter of hours before it ...

The Virtual Reality Rise?
Virtual reality, the idealised next step in both gaming and simulations. Using the rise of Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Sony's Project Morpheus and also the current OnePlus Cardboard virtual reality is starting to locate a spot in the consumer household, as opposed to with only arcades and technology enthusiasts.
Unity Education
The question is, and will be no matter whether virtual reality is here to stay and how will it affect the existing gaming market place. TMR, a market intelligence business has released a report estimating that the Usa virtual reality industry was worth US $466.six million in 2012. With anticipated growth to reach US $5.eight billion dollars by 2019.
Such huge industry prospective is probably the driving force behind the broad range of organizations jumping around the VR scene. Everyone from Sony to Valve are presently building or have released early goods, such a variety of heavy hitting gaming organizations is really a sign that virtual reality features a spot. Whilst this anticipated development is impressive, it remains to be noticed if this new technology is going to be purely a passing fad or a long-term gaming choice.
Unity Education
According to this report the continual increase in technologies, like 3D effects and motion tracking are pushing the rise of virtual reality. While escalating disposable incomes are letting a growing number of households give this new technologies a attempt. On the flip-side the price of these technologies, demonstrated by Valve stating that their HTC Vive is aimed in the high-end customer is expected to harm development and widespread adoption.
The worldwide spread of VR is naturally concentrated inside North America and Europe, with both representing 69% in the income share. Though surprisingly Asia is slated because the area of highest potential because of the increasing on the web involvement and presence of Sony, who've simple to Asia for their Project Morpheus.
This single report highlights that VR has large possible, each for the organizations generating them as well as the buyers. But in the end it is going to rely on the content material that can be available for these machines along with the price of them. At the existing time an average consumer won't spend the equivalent of an Xbox A single or PlayStation four for a machine that provides only a limited variety of games. Though if games such as the "Keep Speaking and No one Explodes" demonstrate anything, it's that the correct sort of game style can function seamlessly with headset VR. We look forward to the day that Get in touch with of Duty could be played on a virtual reality machine, or possibly that wouldn't be such an excellent notion.

Construction equipment was busy at work this week demolishing the popular mini-park adjacent to Bridges that was a gift to the community by its founder, Kazuo Sugitani 20 years ago. He came to love Danville when his son Ryota Sugitani studied at Athenian School in 1985, and built the restaurant and the park. Ryota Sugitani, who lives in Oregon, now runs the business and is going to build a one-story retail outlet on the quarter-acre parcel.
Sugitani told the Planning Commission last summer that he wanted to develop his property because he was paying high taxes on it. He also noted he wanted to be part of Danville's vision to have the downtown filled with small local businesses. His proposal keeps a pedestrian-friendly design, including landscaping and seating on the corner of Hartz Avenue and Church Street.

Vitamins- OK to take at night?
What is the best time of day to take vitamins?
Is it OK to take them at night, just after dinner?
Fri. Mar 31, 3:08pm
It is best to take them with a meal because the food will help your body absorb them. I don't think it matters which meal.
Friday, March 31, 2006, 3:11 PM
it is better to take your vitamins in the morning or day - they energize you and make it hard to sleep.
minerals, however, act opposite and are better taken at night.
if you're like me - 9-5 desk job - I keep my vitamins at work and take them first thing after lunch. This way a) I always take them b) I had tried taking them after breakfast but they make me sick c) 1 less thing to do in the morning before leaving to work.
Friday, March 31, 2006, 3:17 PM
Great suggestion about vitamins @ work!

External asymmetries in the euro area and the role of foreign direct investment
A few years after the establishment of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), large asymmetries emerged in the trade balances and the current accounts of the member-states. A divide seems to separate two groups in the euro area, one with the northern countries achieving external surpluses and the other including the southern countries with large external deficits. We argue that a crucial factor in shaping productivity, and consequently affecting competitiveness and the external position of the economy, is the size and composition of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and find that the northern countries received more total FDI than the southern group. Moreover, the southern countries attracted more investment in real estate rather than the productive sector. Focusing on ten euro area economies over the period 1980-2009, we establish a positive relationship between FDI flows and trade balances in the northern countries, in contrast to a negative one for the southern group. Using industry-level data, we also establish a positive (negative) long-run relationship between FDI in the manufacturing (non-manufacturing) sector and the trade balance for the northern (southern) countries.

This year's conference theme was "Uncovering the Secrets of System Administration" [1], and the décor throughout the conference was reminiscent of an Indiana Jones movie, complete with fedora-wearing conference organizers!

"People I hired three years ago are now having babies," Totter said. "You hire them as young teachers and they get married and decide to have families."
Totter said she will not know the final number of vacancies from this year until next school year starts. The district currently has 21 vacancies, varying in grade level and subject matter. The district has a total of 250 teacher positions, and normally hires about 40 new teachers a year.
"Things can change right before the school year starts," Totter said. She has hired five people since the beginning of June, and hopes to fill all openings by the end of the month.
"In June you are hoping everyone is taken care of," Totter said. "We are still working on it."
"Sometimes school districts have to open with a sub," she added.
The elementary school district also hired a new principal and assistant principal this year at Graham Middle School and a new principal at Monta Loma Elementary School. Last week, trustees agreed to switch the positions of three top administrators. Meanwhile, the local high school district also has seen "more pregnancies, especially at Los Altos High School," said Associate Superintendent Brigitte Sarraf. But MVLA has already filled the 16 openings it had this year.
Sarraf said in a typical year, the district has between 20 and 25 vacancies, depending on retirees.

This year's Indian Premier League—IPL—schedule contains something a bit different from the norm, with the first 20 games of the tournament scheduled to be played outside of India in the United Arab Emirates.
Moved to the UAE because of a clash with India's general elections, it presents whole new challenges and possibilities for the eight franchises and their rosters of international stars and homegrown talent.
Players will need to adapt to what will be unfamiliar conditions to many, however, there will be some players likely to be licking their lips at the prospect of playing in the UAE ahead of returning to India for the tournament's second phase in early May.
With that in mind, read on for 10 players who will be confident of making a big impact in the UAE, and who may well find conditions to their liking.

Now that the Fed has rolled out QE2, many investors are surprised that bonds have been struggling, especially the longer maturities. Those ETFs that hold 20 and 30 year Treasuries and corporate bonds, for example, have been especially weak. While this has resulted in higher yields it is having the unfortunate effect of decreasing the capital gains that investors have enjoyed after a multi-month run-up in prices. This is making life complicated for dividend and income investors.
Among the features of the Alert HQ Premium site there are several stock screens that focus on dividends. In particular, I will be identifying those stocks that just raised their dividend during the previous week and yet are still more or less in the value stock category.
The following list is from this weekend's screen:
Many of these stocks have been discovered by investors and are in solid up-trends. AmTrust Financial Services, DDi Corp, Littelfuse, Principal Financial Group and Parker-Hannifin all fall into this category.
One is beginning to recover from a sell-off: Lincoln Educational Services (which I recently wrote about.)
Then we have Maiden Holdings. This stock seems to have been consolidating for a couple of months now. It was threatening to break out when the recent pull-back began. After today's gains, it is now positioned for a breakout again.
This list of stocks fits the bill for anyone who considers themselves to be value investors but who want the safety of dividends and a bit of momentum, too. For the most part, then, these stocks have three important things going for them:
- Rising dividends which are generally an indication that management considers the company's financial position to be strong
- Reasonable valuations indicating the stocks are not particularly over-priced
- Rising trend-lines that are an indication that the market has some confidence in these stocks
As such, these seven stocks are good candidates for income investors and value investors alike.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning tragedy of a salesman's deferred American dream
Since it was first performed in 1949, Arthur Miller's Pulitzer Prize-winning drama about the tragic shortcomings of an American dreamer has been recognized as a milestone of the theater. Willy Loman, the protagonist of Death of a Salesman, has spent his life following the American way, living out his belief in salesmanship as a way to reinvent himself. But somehow the riches and respect he covets have eluded him. At age 63, he searches for the moment his life took a wrong turn, the moment of betrayal that undermined his relationship with his wife and destroyed his relationship with Biff, the son in whom he invested his faith. Willy lives in a fragile world of elaborate excuses and daydreams, conflating past and present in a desperate attempt to make sense of himself and of a world that once promised so much. This Penguin Classics edition features an introduction by Christopher W. E. Bigsby.

I read this book for an AP English Summer Reading assignment and quite enjoyed it. It was a bit hard to follow at first but once you get started you start to understand more. It's a sad but interesting story. Warning: It's not for light readers there is depth to it so it requires a bit of thinking on the readers part.
I have seen some really bad reviews here. Some said that Death of a Salesman was the worst book ever. Now I can imagine that some may not think as highly as I do of the book, but it can never be considered the worst ever. Those people obviously do not understand the true meaning and messages of the book, the things that maake Death of a Salesman a timeless masterpiece. For you dumb shmucks out there, some thing the book was really about: communism; capitalism- in the cold and callous business world, personal connections and compassion and comprimised for profit and performace; trying to fulfill one's dreams with his children; escape from an undesirable life; sacrifice; -- just to name a few. So, before you rip on a book, or anything, make sure you fully understand it.
Miller's play is an intimate study of the tragedy one family faces and their singular reaction to it. The characters are so rich in their depiction of disillusionment, and they vividly exemplify the intense desire for an easier life. I thoroughly enjoyed this play.
Death of a Saleman is an excellent play which everyone should read. I read it for my AP English and Composition class. There are many hidden facts and information which make the play more interesting and more complex then you may not see the first time you read it.
Valuable literary experience, but so profoundly depressing. Definitely not something to read while you're trying to enjoy a vacation. Don't read it until our current economic depression is over.
Though to many the play can seem dull and dreary, it cannot leave you untouched. It makes you internally search, wondering if you too are like Willy, reaching for something that will never be grasped. Willy was always searching for his own diamond, yet only in death could he find it. The play is simplistic at times, but one would have to take some serious thought in order to understand all of its aspects. You must mull over it for awhile and turn it over in your mind a few times before being able to truely understand and appreciate it.
Miller's view on the American Dream symbolizes the culture of Willy Loman and how he reacts toward the different situations.
There are perhaps two plays you may be required to read by Arthur Miller in high school: The Crucible and Death of a Salesman. After having read Death of a Salesman, I can now say that I think Death of a Salesman comes out on top. It's not just better than The Crucible, but is a play that every high school class should read and examine to fully honor this great classic. Arthur Miller tells the story of an old, dying salesman who is haunted by his unattainable dreams and his untold past. Not only is Willy Loman an interesting character, but all the characters are intriguing as they work together to create a story that we can delve into quickly. Perhaps what helps us to appreciate and connect with the characters is in large part thanks to Miller's seamless transitions to scenes from the characters' past. We see them interact at many different levels, and we see how their past decisions affect not only their future, but their self-concept as well. As I watched this characters interact, I became quickly attached to them and to the decisions that would eventually determine their ends. Each character carried with them an important lesson that we can learn, and apply in our own lives. The most important lesson I learned in this story is to chase our dreams, but not allow our dreams to make up for our present. I would recommend this book to anyone, it is full of great dialogue and it is an interesting read.
Okay so to me this book was not a good book at all and that is just from me reading the book . Ps.hope. that no one ends up getting realky hurt because of this please font kill yourself because this kind of herts your fellings
"Death of a Salesman" by Arthur Miller is an eye opening collision of idealism and the "American Dream" with the harsh realities of everyday life. This dramatic play gives Arthur's strong opinions on success in America. Miller's own family was successful in business and was very wealthy up until the Wall Street Crash of 1929, which left them nearly broke. This personal connection to the plot makes the emotional appeals to the audience very effective. Amidst the delusion of Willy's success as a businessman, Biff as a well-liked and respected worker, and Linda and Willy's marriage as being immaculate, the message that not everything is perfect contrasts quite sharply as we begin to discover what is wrong with Willy. When we get introduced to Willy and his family, everything appears to be very idealistic: a husband that has no problem providing for the family, two sons with a great amount of potential, and a caring wife. But as the blinds come off of the household, the vision of perfection becomes unraveled, and for the most part, what seems true proves to be the opposite. I found many of the feelings of chaos and uncertainty very relatable but also kind of terrifying. The suggestion that success can be but an illusion is a convicting one for someone who is about to go to college and begin to try succeeding in life. It is a powerful reminder that a multi-perceptive view of the world is so crucial, as Biff learns later in the play as he copes with all that has happened. Before reading this play, I had considered probably my whole life that success does not look the same to each person, but this play presented me with the possibility that failure could still be masked as success, which has made me more cautious (or knowingly daring) with the decisions I make in the future. Overall, the play was one I would love to see done onstage sometime, but also a very powerful script that will stay with me for awhile.
The book is excellent, but the Nook rendering is very disappointing. No matter what text size I select, the formatting is off: 1-word lines abound, the indents are off, and the reading experience is considerably compromised.
Arthur Miller describes a families desperate attempt to cling to the American dream while simultaneously bringing the utopian fantasy life crashing down.
I had read this short play and I found myself amazed at how I actually liked the plotline. It is easy to connect with the main character. Overall a good read.
I love arthur miller and love reading plays. Don't read if you're looking for something uplifting, though!
Anyone that does not appreciate the story of the Loman family (its about the entire family, not just Willy), complain about how "boring" the story is, or fails to find any meaning in the story, is a stupid person. Plain and simple. Go read the Hunger Games or some ish. In short, everyone who rated Death of a Salesmen 1 Star was basically ranking their intelligence the same.
How the frik are you posting from 2001
Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller is the story of an old and increasingly unsuccessful salesman named Willie. Willie grows crazier and crazier and has more and more flashbacks to different moments in his life that he realized could have changed his entire life, if he had done one thing different. When his two sons, Biff and Happy, come to visit for a while, he becomes more depressed after seeing how much of a failure Biff is, and how seeing that no matter how many different women Happy can get, he will never be able to get a wife, or impress his father the way that Biff used to. With an emotional ending that leaves you satisfied and impressed, Death of a Salesman was a very good play.
The book didnt really get my attention in the beginning, but i like that its a play

Love out of the chocolate box: How we will spend our Valentine's Day
I think Valentine's Day is an exciting day if you are in love. So I just let the lovers enjoy it. Nevertheless, it is extremely annoying if you are single. Thank God it is on a Sunday!
Sunday February 14 2016
Winfred Kagwe,Lafarge in Uganda, Single
I think Valentine's Day is an exciting day if you are in love. So I just let the lovers enjoy it. Nevertheless, it is extremely annoying if you are single. Thank God it is on a Sunday!
I do not have an elaborate plan for the day. But being a Sunday, I will most likely do what I do on Sundays. I will go to church, and then have a late lunch with a friend. However, now that I think of it, couples in red are likely to take over all the restaurants.
And all my friends may have their own plans for celebrating the day. Most likely, I will just buy myself a good bottle of wine, and pick a nice series from the movie library and enjoy my own company.
Anthony Ruriisa, Lecturer and Bishop
Married, father of four
Valentine's Day is not a very big event to me though I like the idea of it being about celebrating love. However, it seems to have become a lot more about commercial gains than love.
My wife and my daughters know how much I care about them and do not need one particular day to prove it. Because it is Sunday, I shall go to church. I want to relax and spend the day with my family.
Aster Ruzindana
Managing Partner, Seven
Valentine's Day does not mean anything to me. I do not celebrate it. I believe everyday should be a day in which you should show love to everyone.
On Valentine's Day, I, together with my fellow gym members, will go to a park and engage in paint balling – basically shooting at each other. We are a mixture of men and women, but we have not yet decided which park to go to.
Abbey Mawerere
Director, Quick Errands Uganda
I intend to take my dear wife to a lovely place so that we can spend the whole day having fun together away from the hustle and bustle of town. It has to be only me and her.
This allows us to focus on our relationship and look back on what we have been able to achieve together and also plan how we can take our life to a new and better level.
Emma Otim
Administrator, Foundation for Human Rights Initiative
I really do not regard Valentine's Day as a special day. It is just one of those days I like to joke about and it usually comes and goes without me noticing. I do not even pay attention to what clothes I am wearing or what colour they are on that day.
I would explain to my partner so that she is not offended by my not regarding Valentine's Day, and ask her to forgive me.
I know it is a historic day in which people celebrate love but I celebrate love every day. As for those who celebrate special love by wearing red, buying red roses or wine on that day, I do not mean them any offence. One day should not determine the magnitude of my love.
Jossy Muhangi
Public Relations Manager, Uganda Wildlife Authority
I will spend it with my family at Uganda Wildlife Education Centre in Entebbe. Recently, we transferred some giraffes from Murchison Falls National Park to UWEC. I am using the opportunity to monitor how the new giraffes are coping in their new home.
I am also using this opportunity to interact with other wildlife in the zoo as well as the animal keepers.
Brian Walusimbi
CEO Bless a Child Foundation
Valentine's Day is still confusing for me. People do all sorts of weird things such as wearing red clothes and buying expensive flowers. I think any day can be a love day, if you make it. I will keep home. I do not have any special plans.
Roy Mbuge
Model and Mr UN, Uganda
