Meditation in Action: Learning the Art of Inner Peace is an audiobook that was written to provide persons with a working knowledge of what the process of meditation entails. The text goes gradually through what meditation is to learning how to breathe right on to an outline of some simple poses that one can try. A lot of individuals are of the opinion that mediation is not to be practices as it is a supernatural art that should not be meddled with but the author explains what meditation really is to the reader. It is simply the art of learning how to focus the mind and free it from the random thoughts that can cause a buildup of stress. Meditation in Action is great for those who are just starting to get into the process of meditation as it can help get them prepared to move on to the next level in the process.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 540476
RADEONHD:RS690:X1200:KMS very high Xorg CPU consumption after F11 -> F12 upgrade
Last modified: 2010-11-04 04:28:44 EDT
Created attachment 373115 [details]
Xorg log
Description of problem:
After I upgraded (with yum upgrade) from F11 (all updates) to F12, X started being very choppy, especially with window movements, etc. It's not clear to me whether this is an Xorg base, Xorg drivers or some other issue.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Start X. Open some windows (e.g. Firefox), move them around, minimize/maximize, move mouse pointer between windows, etc.
Additional info:
From /var/log/rpmpkgs* I note that prior to F12 upgrade, I was using xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd-1.2.5-2.10.20090714git.fc11.i586 which is a bit older.
After the upgrade, the fonts used by (at least) Firefox changed -- they looked better (anti-aliasing?). This may be relevant.
Typical CPU usage when completely idle is usually between 20-30%. If I move my mouse pointer quickly between two open firefox browser windows, this reliably drives up the Xorg CPU consumption to over 90%. Automatic window refocusing (without clicking) is enabled.
The system is almost unusable with this CPU consumption.
Update: I also tried xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd-1.2.5-3.14.20090918git.fc12, no difference.
I set radeon.modeset=0 when booting, the usability was restored. Steady state Xorg CPU is 6-7% and I can get it (only) up to 38% but no higher by fast-moving mouse pointer between windows.
Created attachment 373174 [details]
Xorg.0.log when radeon.modeset=0
This worked for me too, which is good, because in addition to the desktop being messed up six ways from Sunday, the textures in openarena were. . .interesting. All is totally fine on the radeon driver with radeon.modeset=0.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora
'version' of '12'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.
Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this
bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version,
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.
Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.
The process we are following is described here:
radeonhd is no longer provided in later Fedoras, having been substituted.

The resignation of Lisa S. Coico has created a leadership vacuum at the university amid two investigations, with a third looming.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The head of Oklahoma's prison system, who presided over two botched lethal injections and a third that was called off because the wrong drug was delivered, announced his resignation Friday amid an investigation ...
It was not budget cuts or a contentious relationship with faculty that led to the resignation of Lisa S. Coico, but her use of college funds for personal matters.
The administrator, Lisa S. Coico, announced her resignation a day after The New York Times contacted officials with questions about the handling of more than $150,000 of her personal expenses.
Lisa S. Coico, president of City College, the flagship of the City University of New York (CUNY), abruptly resigned Friday amid an investigation into her use of college funds to pay for personal expenses, The New York Times reported...

We finally have a clearer picture of the 2011 Porsche Cayenne, which will go on sale in May. Aside from prototypes being spotted of Porsche's next-generation Cayenne in Germany several times that revealed its styling, we've also learned what its final specifications are from a private press event last month.
Three engine options will be available initially: an entry-level 3.6-liter V-6 with 300hp, a naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V-8 with 400-horsepower and the top-of-the-line twin-turbocharged 4.8-liter V-8 with 500hp.
Making a comeback is the Cayenne Diesel, a 3.9-liter V-6 turbodiesel engine that is able to produce 240hp. A hybrid version will combine a supercharged 330hp 3.0-liter gasoline V-6 with a 47hp electric motor running on lithium-ion batteries.
Unfortunately, US consumers won't be able to get their hands on the diesel or the hybrid anytime soon. Overseas models will also benefit from a fuel-saving engine stop-start system.
Each Porsche Cayenne will be offered with an 8-speed automatic transmission as standard. Since Porsche will no longer offer a low-speed transfer case, this means that the 2011 Porsche Cayenne is now strictly an on-road vehicle.
The second-generation Cayenne is smaller and is 10% lighter. As a result, it has greater performance and efficiency even while its power levels are not considerably higher than those of the current model. The 2011 Porsche Cayenne S dropped 396 pounds and now weighs 4,553-pounds.
The weight reduction is a result of new construction processes that include increased use of aluminum and the removal of the two-speed transfer case.
Porsche claims that its gasoline-powered Cayennes will be on average 23% more fuel-efficient than the current Cayenne range. The most economical would be the Cayenne Hybrid, which will achieve an estimated 28.7 mpg fuel economy rating for the European combined cycle.

"The Powers of War and Peace: The Constitution and Foreign Affairs After 9/11"
by John Yoo
University of Chicago,
336 pp., $29
John Yoo, formerly of the Justice Department, was profiled in The Wall Street Journal Sept. 12 as the author of opinions "justifying the Bush administration's aggressive approach to detaining and interrogating suspected terrorists." Yoo, 38, is now a professor of law at Berkeley, where his support of Bush makes him "reviled on the political left."
Now you can read his book, "The Powers of War and Peace." There is nothing in it favoring torture — or assassination, which the Journal said Yoo is also in favor of. But in his book, this tough-minded Korean American does reach some blunt conclusions:
President Bush had the constitutional power to declare that the Geneva Conventions did not apply to fighters captured in Afghanistan. The president has the power to interpret treaties and, indeed, to cancel them. He also has the constitutional power, Yoo argues, to make war.

- Kickoff time, TV info announced for 110th Apple Cup
An early draft of the Constitution gave Congress the power "to make war." The Founders changed that wording to "declare" war, which, Yoo says, was understood at the time as "a legalistic function that defines relationships and status under international law." America has made war many times but has declared war only five times.
Congress' power over war, says Yoo, is the power to refuse to pay for it. That, he says, is "all the power it needs."
One may dislike the implications of this position: Congress never uses this power that is "all it needs." But Yoo's argument is not glib or flimsy. The argument in this book is serious, precise and fine-grained. Yoo was once a clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas, the Supreme Court's originalist, and it shows. Yoo pays close attention to how the Constitution was understood by the framers, ratifiers and the first president.
Yoo argues over the words used — declare war, make war, engage in war — and the words not used. He notes that the Treaty Clause is in Article II instead of Article I, and what that means; and that it is paired with the Appointments Clause, and what that means. All this is not for the casual reader; one feels, at the end of it, that there ought to be a coupon to clip to send off to the University of California for class credit.
The author explores three big topics. First is the war power. Second is the treaty power, and whether a treaty made by the president and confirmed by a two-thirds vote in the Senate is automatically enforceable inside the United States. In practice it is not, and Yoo argues that the practice is correct.
An example: the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which since 1976 has prohibited death sentences for crimes committed by persons under 18. That covenant has long been ratified by the United States, but there has never been a right of Americans to bring a lawsuit under it.
His third topic is the congressional-executive agreement, which is what NAFTA and the WTO are. These look like treaties but are passed as ordinary laws, requiring a majority of both houses of Congress. Yoo argues that this method is valid for trade and a few other things but cannot be used on matters normally outside the power of Congress.
After laying out his position, Yoo compares what his view and the liberal internationalist view mean for America's freedom to act independently. The Journal called Yoo a "sovereigntist," which really means a nationalist.
Yoo does not want a view of the Constitution that would, for example, allow the power to make war to be turned over to the United Nations by a treaty. Under some interpretations of the treaty power, that is possible. Not under John Yoo's.

text: had 2 low moments and one high moment this week. feel free comment or to share any stories that relate. low moment number one was nearly getting bit by a dog while fixing a timer on a wonderful nightscaping trans. I could hear the dog inside barking, and knew this dog was capable of biting from my original meeting with the client. I waited at the back picket fence gate and rattled it hard, waiting for the dog to possibly come out the dog door. after seeing the dog barking at the back window and waiting a long 10 second pause, I carefully went in the back gate with no problems. I went to the trans, knelt and took off the cover, push up and lift and... why won't these covers ever come off easy?, push, fingernails...grab the multi-tool and pry, and cover comes off and began working on the trans when I heard the click of paws on the porch behind me. this dog was not barking, but growling and coming towards me fast. I lunged for the gate and vaulted over, well, attempted may be a better word. gate kinda wobbles under me and the dog gets my boot and pulls me back. my stomach goes to the pickets and breaks two tops, and I go head first over the gate into the concrete taking the dog with me. The dog lets go of boot when he realizes that his neck is over the the 2x4 and kinda squeezed betwen broken pickets, and then he proceeds to try to bite me through the gate. bleeding and angry, the painter comes over and asks if I am ok, and proceeds to tell me that the dog has almost gotten him 3 times. I make the mistake of calling my contact person and ask why the dog was available to eat me when I told him I was coming at 6 , and though I calmed down as we talked, I probably was too upset on the phone. the scabs on my bald head are healing nicely. The next day I got a great high for the week- the deposit/contract on a project for a client I have been wanting to do for some years now. I can't really go into detail until I have permission to use their name, but it always feels good to know you can land high visablity clients, by just by referral, reputation and no discounts. I am just excited by taking it from where it is to looking awesome. today brought another low. at the end of the day one of our trailers- the 24 foot triaxle, broke loose from our f-450 box van and took out a mailbox, a small tree and cable box, and ended up in a fence. safety chains ripped the metal off the bumper, and it appears the trailer hitch itself does not fully lock on the ball. luckily, and thankfully no one was hurt, and the property damage was minimal. this could have been spectacularly worse. I put new safety chains on the trailer tonight, and if these ever break, either the truck or trailer will have to be totaled in the process. I will buy a new bulldog hitch tomorrow, and go ahead and put a new jack on as well. In case you are wondering, the old chains were 5/16 high test rated at 3900 pounds each. it looked fine, as it was bigger than most safety chains I had seen. hopefully bigger is better in this case. my new chain is the 3/8 transport grade 70 goldish colored chain. rated at 6600 pounds each, I warappd around and bolted this through the tailer frame with grade 8 1/2" bolts rather than rely on welds. it now clips to truck using winch hooks with spring closure, to a new 1/2" quick link rated at 7500 pounds each. this link is also bolted through the bumper with 1/2" grade 8 bolts. I have no idea what physical forces happen when a trailer cuts loose, but this looks overkill silly. hopefully this will hold the trailer if the hitch ever fails again. Take a look at your safety chains and upgrade them now if they look skimpy. I thought mine were fine. anybody got dog or trailer stories?

Spiral balance tip color help
A handy person from Richmond TX says:
May 16, 2016
I am trying to replace a broken spiral balance and not sure what color tip. The windows are made from a company called champion. The tip of these spiral balances are white but when trying to order there is no option for white tip in 29" length and 3/8 diameter. The weight of the spiral balance is .276 lb = 125 grams.
A handy person from Richmond TX says:
May 16, 2016
The weight of the window 20-25 lb
Tom from SWISCO responded:
May 18, 2016
Two S306-29 balances with a Green Tip option can carry a sash weight of 14 through 26 pounds. You may want to get your exact sash weight just to be sure, though.

Iran 'can build nuclear bomb now'
An Israeli former intelligence chief has said that Iran could build a nuclear bomb any time it wants, a claim that could aggravate tensions between Israel and the United States and heighten fears that the Jewish state could launch a pre-emptive strike on Iran's nuclear facilities.
Amos Yadlin, the military intelligence chief until his retirement in 2010, said Tehran had all the components necessary to build an atomic weapon, reflecting a prevailing Israeli view that Iran is on the verge of acquiring a nuclear bomb.
"If the Iranians get together tonight and decide to develop a bomb secretly, then they have all the resources and components to do so," General Yadlin told the Israeli newspaper Maariv. His comments came as General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, arrived in Israel on a visit widely interpreted as an effort to divine the Jewish state's intentions towards Iran, and to warn it against taking any military action that could plunge the region into a new war.
Israel has repeatedly insisted that the military option remain on the table should diplomacy fail, declaring that Iran's nuclear ambitions pose an existential threat. Israel and the West have rejected Tehran's claims that its nuclear programme is peaceful, not military, in nature.
Washington, which said last month that Iran could have a nuclear bomb within a year if it chose, nevertheless believes that Tehran has not yet made the decision to build an atomic weapon and is insisting that Israel allows more time for tougher sanctions to take effect.
In remarks that appeared aimed at cooling tensions with the US, the Defence Minister, Ehud Barak, said on Wednesday that an Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities was "very far off." He denied that General Dempsey's visit was intended to convey a message from the White House.
Concern in Washington over Israel's intentions has deepened at a time of heightened regional tensions, with Iran threatening to block the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic oil shipping conduit.

The saliva monitors aren't very effective for avoiding pregnancy, but there's no harm in giving it a whirl!
You can avoid pregnancy without having to chart all the signs of fertility though. Some forms of charting require checking CM, cervix position, temps, etc. But some only require tracking one sign to keep things more simple. We use the Billings Ovulation Method, it requires tracking CM only and keeps things really simple. It's also 99% effective.
BOMA-USA - Home
If you like the idea of using a monitor, there is a form of Natural Family Planning that uses the ClearBlue Fertility Monitor. It's called the Marquette Model. It's more effective than saliva tracking and there are certain rules you follow to use the monitor for avoiding. Information about that here:

The Subaru BRZ STI concept
This, we think you'll agree, is more like it. Chiefly because it's got a wing and blue paint. Yep, Subaru has done the decent thing and stolen Toyota's thunder by announcing it will show a 'Concept - STI' version of the forthcoming BRZ at the Los Angeles show in two weeks time.
Naturally, what with this being a 'concept' and all, there are no details, but this surely means that once the standard BRZ appears next summer, it will be quickly pursued by a hot version with a turbocharged version of the flat four. So let's guess that it'll have at least 300bhp for the rear wheels to cope with.
This is clearly a very exciting prospect. The unveiling of the production version of the Subaru BRZ happens at the Tokyo show at the start of December, but this is now the one we're hankering for. Ideally with gold wheels too, please Subaru.
What say you now internet? This or the Toyota FT-86?

The purpose of this study was to investigate the phylogenetic relationship of the Juquitiba virus (JUQV) carried by Oligoryzomys nigripes in endemic and non-endemic areas of Brazil. Wild rodents infected with the Juquitiba virus (JUQV) were sampled from a non-Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome endemic area in Brazil. Three strains from O. nigripes were identified by the sequencing of the complete S segment and compared to previous studies of JUQV available in GenBank. The phylogenetic analysis of the complete S segment revealed two distinct clades; the first clade was composed of the JUQV from two non-endemic areas in Brazil and the second clade contained JUQV strains from Argentina, Paraguay and other Brazilian endemic areas. © 2013 .

Sci. Comput. 22 (2005) 119-145.] is proposed to solve a thermally coupled nonlinear elliptic system modeling a large class of engineering problems. A fixed point algorithm is adopted to solve the nonlinear systems. Convergence analysis and error estimates are presented for equal order linear or bilinear discontinuous Lagrangian finite element interpolations for all fields. Numerical results are presented confirming the predicted convergence rates and illustrating the performance of the proposed formulation solving problems with globally stable and blowing up solutions. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

We consider an elastic body with a rigid inclusion and a crack located at the boundary of the inclusion [11]. It is assumed that non-penetration conditions are imposed at the crack faces which do not allow the opposite crack faces to penetrate each other. The differentiability of the elastic energy with respect to the crack length, for the crack located at the boundary of rigid inclusion, is established [11]. ©2010 IEEE.

In this work the topological derivative concept is applied in the context of topology design of thermo-mechanical devices, where the linear elasticity system (modeled by the Navier equation) is coupled with the steady-state heat conduction problem (modeled by the Laplace equation). The mechanical coupling term comes out from the thermal stress induced by the temperature field. We consider the topology design of bi-metallic devices. The idea is to maximize the displacement in a given direction defined on the boundary of the thermo-elastic body with respect to a bi-metallic material distribution. The topological derivative is obtained by considering the nucleation of a small circular inclusion with different thermal expansion coefficients. A level-set domain representation method is used, together with the derived topological sensitivity formula, to devise a topology design algorithm. Finally, some numerical experiments regarding the conceptual design of thermo-mechanical devices are presented. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Since you can't take back the words after they've left a manager's mouth — or take back the e-mail after the manager has hit the send button — you need to train managers to think about what's appropriate and what's not before they speak (or send). Post-termination communication is one area in which managers can get into trouble in terms of defamation or libel claims, but you can cut the risk if you set ground rules.
Faux pas often occur when emotions run high. While a termination is obviously an emotional time for the employee being let go, keep in mind that a manager may be just as emotional, perhaps angry about the employee's behavior that warranted the termination. Some of the employee's co-workers probably won't be shy in asking why the employee was let go. Management must be discreet in responding. While the truth is generally the best defense against a defamation claim, it is not an absolute defense if m...(register to read more)

Discussion in 'Cuckold Forum' started by Crazylovers2, Jul 26, 2013.
Which do u like best?
I like it good and used. Best is after a goods night threesome, for about 3 days it'll stay nice and loose for easy access
I'll take pussy either way. Wet and loose is fun but a nice tight pussy wrapped around my cock is great!
Def used after a huge toy. The less I feel the more humiliated I feel and that really turns me on. Feeling inadequate to a big dildo is great and I can only imagine how it will be when it's a real BBC and my gf becomes addicted.
I'm a woman and I like my pussy tight.
Well, the ones i'm eating out that is.
I like mine stretched out around a nice big cock!
I love to have my dick "milked" preferably with her wet pussy lips wrapped around my dick
i dont have much choice when i get it lol
I like to think i am strengthening her kegel muscle as she squeezes when i pull and relax as i enter then squeeze as i pull... as a milking action..
Both. I like when it starts off as tight and, by the end of the night, it's sore, splayed open and full of my sperm.
Both of them When my wife and me have sex and she cums first, her pussy relaxes, so I ask her to wrap her legs around my body. With her long legs around me, I find the needed rub to close my orgasm.
But if you're trying to ask is if I find my wife's pussy comfortable after she fucked with another guy, the question is more complicated. This simple idea had ever turned me on.
She had broken up with Axel, her black boyfriend, some days before our relation ship began. The first time we had sex, I told her that it was a pleasure for me, put my dick in the same place where Axel had put his beauty black cock. Just imagining my wife's pussy had been penetrated, drilled and filled by a black guy like Axel, excited me in an incredible way!
Axel had an incredible virility and he was a first class male. I ever told Susie that I wished watch them fucking in front of me.
My wifes pussy was super tight. 43 and never had kids. Her boyfriend of the last 10 months is 8" and has been steadily stretching her out. I commented on it to her when I first suspected it and I could tell it turned her on (and subsequently began to turn me on).
i like my wifes pussy to be loose and used by her bbc dildo., until i can make it happen for real.
I'm happy with either, but given the choice, nice and loose is best. It's not a humiliation thing (if you've read my prior posts, I'm certainly not into that). It's purely a matter of it feeling better to me.
I prefer mine nice and lose after she us es her big black dildo.
I like to feel how tight my wife's pussy is before she is with another man. It's even better after she comes back from taking his huge cock and being filled with his cum. I love how used and slick she feels.

I heard it on the radio. The announcer asked a simple question: "How do you recognize a University of Georgia poultry science graduate?"

The answer? "Employed."
Think of all the business that is conducted in Atlanta from real estate to manufacturing to professional services. Making money - in some cases big money - is a daily exercise in our capital city.
Agriculture, however, remains the biggest industry in the state and poultry is about one half of that.
Now you get the drift of what the announcer was saying. And it got me to thinking about the past.
more Smith columns
Every farm had a milk cow.You milk the cow in the morning and you had fresh milk for breakfast. But when the cow "went dry" that is when cereal went off the menu. There were always a couple of hogs, and when their off-spring reached slaughter status there was bacon for breakfast. When there was no milk and no bacon, breakfast was pretty much confined to biscuits and cane syrup.
There were always a few hens and a rooster in the yard. That was the poultry industry in the past. The hen laid eggs, and when you allowed some of them to hatch, and the resulting biddies evolved to the fryer stage, you knew fried chicken would soon to be on the menu.
No Southern farm always had friend chicken in the summer. From those barnyard times, Georgia became the greatest poultry producing state, and one of the most interesting entrepreneurial stories I am familiar with has to do with how former Athens mayor Julius Bishop got into the poultry business in a big way.
He was working at the Post Office before World War II when a hatchery in Indiana took a sly route for getting rid of excess baby chicks. Hens were laying eggs and there was no market for baby chicks in the summer, so the hatchery shipped biddies COD to fictitious names on fictitious rural routes.
One day, 300 baby chicks arrived COD, invalid name and address, to the Athens Post Office. They couldn't just die or be thrown out with the trash, so the postmaster asked Bishop what they were worth.
"I wouldn't pay a cent a piece for them," Bishop said.
"You just bought 'em," the Postmaster replied.
Bishop didn't have the $3, so a fellow employee took half the chicks and lent Bishop $1.50 for the other half. The future mayor had just built a house and had an extra bedroom, which is where he put the baby chicks until he could build brooders in his backyard, which, in time, was filled with more than 3,000 fryers-to-be.
He had begun selling fryers to Bell's grocery and housewives until his business became Colonial Poultry which, after he sold to his partner, was bought out by a succession of firms, including Gold Kist, until it became Pilgrim's Pride, one of the biggest employers in Athens outside the University of Georgia.
Bishop became a successful businessman and politician, who ran because he wanted to serve - a man with unquestionable integrity and exceptionally good common sense. Interestingly, he never would have gotten into the poultry business without a hatchery using questionable business practice just to get rid of baby chicks on hand during the slow months of the year, a business practice he never would have initiated himself.

Data Quality Improvement with SAP Data Services
First things first, what is data quality and why should I care?
Data quality is crucial to operational and transactional processes and to the reliability of business analytics and business intelligence reporting. You can't make good decisions with bad data. Data quality is essentially ensuring that all of your data coming in and all of your loaded data is of high quality.
Well, what is "high quality?"
High quality data is:
- Accurate
- Complete
- Up to date
- Relevant
- Consistent across data sources
- Reliable
- Accessible
So what happens when you realize your data doesn't meet these criteria? How do you get started when you want to implement a data quality initiative? The first two steps are what this blog is about: preparing your data and standardizing your data.
Preparing Your Data
Ideally, you start with a Data Prep Phase. This is the process of collecting, cleaning, and consolidating your data into one place for use. Gartner estimates that up to 80% of the work in data analytics is done during the prep phase! So this isn't an area to downplay the importance of.
Questions to ask yourself during this phase:
- Where is my data? Where does it live? What is the data source?
- Who uses the data? There will be stakeholders in varying business and functional areas to consider and involve; be sure to seek experts who not only understand the data, but also the business processes.
- Is the data any good? Is it usable?
- What is the best way to consolidate the data?
Standardizing Your Data
Once you've completed the prep phase, you're ready to move on to the Data Cleansing and Standardizing Phase.
Data standardization is the next step to ensuring that your data is shareable across the enterprise. You want to make sure your data is the same across the organization. If not, sales figures may not match up, your detail reports may not confirm your summary reports, addresses will not be valid. These types of situations result in wasted time, additional overhead, bad decisions and a lot of frustration.
SAP Data Services is a great tool for getting to "one version of the truth." SAP Data Services:
- Cleanses and standardizes customer data such as name, addresses, emails, phone numbers, and dates; prevents incorrect data such as invalid contact information
- Manages international data for over 190 countries and reads and writes Unicode data
- Removes errors to uncover the true content of the database
- Improves integrity of data to identify matches
- Ultimately creates a single customer view
SAP Data Services can also help you apply and enforce data quality rules whenever data is created, updated, or moved. It also allows you to perform data quality checks anytime, in real-time, on data sets before analyzing, moving, or integrating data.
SAP Data Services helps your organization move toward that "one version of the truth" and stave off hours of wasted time and rehashed problems. Your departments will have the same definitions and terms to work with, correct data and clean information.
Standardization is the cornerstone of business intelligence.
For more information and to see some examples of how SAP Data Services transforms data, you can listen to a pre-recorded webinar I gave called "Expert Guidelines for Building a Data Quality Assessment & Improvement Initiative."

Maximizing SAP Data Services
It really takes convincing and in-depth stakeholder understanding to get buy in for new IT projects. It is equally difficult to get time from business users for any IT implementation, let alone a simple SAP upgrade, that seemingly has little return from a business perspective. This explains the reason many corporations are not upgrading their SAP system or even leveraging the existing SAP BI tools they've already acquired!
I was recently in a client demo with Don Loden and Roy Wells, listening to the client ask some questions about SAP Data Services and other EIM tools. We noticed the client had purchased Data Services with the BusinessObjects toolset, but they were not using the software and were having terrible performance issues with their old ETL tool. I believe there are a lot of SAP customers who are in the same situation, and who are at a crossroad about whether to invest more in a new tool or stick with the old, problematic one. Luckily, most organizations that use BusinessObjects for reporting either already have Data Services, or can easily add it to their existing license to resolve most of their current ETL issues.
For example, another client recently implemented BW on HANA. They invested a great amount of time and resources into creating well-designed DSOs, Cubes, multiproviders, as well as incorporating data from NON-SAP sources. Since they already had Data Services, there was no need for new development and modeling efforts. We were able to stage and transform the external data, SAP BW DSOs and Cubes into SAP HANA, allowing us to directly create views for their reports. Most of our look-ups were done in Data Services, and we were able to leverage ECC tables and extractors, providing increased performance.
SAP Data Services is still the best-of-breed ETL tool that delivers a single-enterprise solution for data integration, data quality, data profiling, and text data processing. It allows you to integrate, transform, improve, and deliver trusted data to critical business processes. There is so much that you can accomplish with it.
Whether you have BW, BPC, HANA or just use BusinessObjects for reporting, often your data extraction can take hours and reports can be delayed. With Data Services, you can get significant data load improvement and improve the quality of your data and reports, all delivered in a timely manner.

SAP Real-Time Enterprise Brings Real-Time Problems
To adapt to the challenges of the SAP real-time enterprise, organizations have to shift from using 'after the fact' latency processes to address data quality to implementing those that take place at the point of data entry.
Governing data and measuring and monitoring data quality have always been important to companies, as a result, they spend lots of time and money governing data quality and processes. Data quality in the source system is more important than ever when a new technology like SAP HANA enters the picture.

Intro to Data Services Workbench
Since the release of SAP Data Services 4.0, the design team has been floating the idea that the Data Services Designer would be replaced as the main design interface for SAP Data Services in the near future. Perhaps this is due to the thick-client installation that requires an unbroken connection to the repository database, which may find difficult to work with as telecommuting becomes so much more prevalent. With the release of Data Services 4.1, the Data Services Workbench was introduced as an automatic install whenever the Designer client was installed. Initially, the workbench really performed only the most basic function: replicating data from a source database or datastore to HANA or Sybase IQ databases. Since then, we have seen the functionality of the Workbench expand to support most applications and databases as sources and targets, and to incorporate additional functionality to develop new content within the Workbench interface. This blog post will review the progress towards full functionality and note some new features and differences between Data Services Designer and Workbench.
Replication Jobs
The first purpose of Workbench was to provide a quick replication tool to port data from other database systems to SAP HANA. Creating a new replication job opens up an interface that simply shows the tables being replicated with no dataflow-type structures.
In the properties window below for each table, the user can change settings like basic column mappings, adding filters, and setting the basis for delta loads, but there are no complex operations supported, like joins, or anything other than a single simple query transform.

Defining Aliases Within Your Datastore in Data Services
When developing code within SAP's Data Services enterprise information management tool, generally requirements dictate having to extract and load data across multiple environments. Data services utilizes datastores to allow you to connect to a variety of different data sources such as a web service, an adapter, or more commonly a database. Those database data sources can include everything from SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, even Netezza. This blog will describe setting up datastores against a Netezza database to utilize the alias functionality to simplify the process of migrating code from development to production.
What is Netezza and how does Data Services connect to it?
Netezza is a powerful Data Warehousing appliance that integrates the database, server, and the storage components into a single system. Netezza is purpose-built for data warehousing and is specifically designed for running complex data warehousing workloads. As a result of using proprietary architecture to deliver fast query performance, minimal tuning and administration, and high scalability; Netezza is an ideal database system to use for your data warehousing needs. As with any relational database system, Data Services can easily connect to Netezza using a datastore connection. Data Services can then import the metadata that describes the data through that connection. If the metadata is identical across multiple environments you can have multiple data configurations within one datastore.
Having multiple configurations within one datastore eliminates the need to create a datastore for every single database you need to connect to; which can speed up development time and prevents unnecessary clutter in your local object library.

Compressing Snapshots in Data Services
Sometimes, when capturing data in a data warehouse, we need to store time-variant pieces of data about a transaction. This somewhat blurs the lines between a traditional fact table and a dimension, since in the traditional model, time-variance is mainly the domain of a dimension.
Take the example of a production backlog at a manufacturer. When an order is made, particularly in an organization that manufactures large and/or complex goods, it may take some time to fulfill. Maintaining a consistent backlog is also a key to ensuring consistent production planning that's not beset with shutdowns, inefficiencies, or missed delivery dates.
Keeping a backlog at a granular level generally requires tracking backlog on an order-by-order basis. That way, anything about an order (that's in your warehouse) can be analyzed to look for trends in the business. There's just one issue: keeping a snapshot of every order in backlog for the full amount of time it's in backlog can take up a lot of space. For instance in a mid-size company: if the average order is in backlog for three months and the company receives 10,000 orders per year, that's nearly a million records per year in a daily snapshot. After a while, that can really add up. It's no wonder Bill Inmon said, "The management of these every day, ongoing changes can consume an enormous amount of resources and can be very, very complex. It is this type of load that rivets the attention of the data architect." (Snapshots in the Data Warehouse, pg. 2, white paper at http://inmoncif.com/inmoncif-old/www/library/whiteprs/ttsnap.pdf)
This example could also apply to general A/R snapshots by account, though in many organizations, this snapshot is taken on a monthly basis, so the problem is less imperative.
As the snapshot grows, a simplified version may look something like this:
|Order Key
|Date Key
|Item Key
|Past Due Backlog Amount
|Future Backlog Amount
|20131202 – 20131231
|20140103 – 20140114
In this example, an order for $65,000.00 was placed on December 1, 2013. $35,000.00 worth of product is for delivery on December 31, while $30,000.00 worth of product is scheduled for later. So, all $65,000 goes into future backlog when the order is received.

Investment app Robinhood has added a feature that it says will provide short-term credit to you while your bank transfer is being completed. Robinhood Instant, as it's called, aims to remove the time delay that occurs between investments due to settlement periods and bank transfers.
Instant is made up of two key components: instant deposits and instant access to funds. With the former, Robinhood makes bank transfers of up to $1,000 available for investing immediately. This removes the hassle of having to wait for funds to be available in your account. The latter lets you quickly reinvest proceeds from a stock sale — previously you had to wait three days before the funds would settle in your account.
Robinhood is a social investing platform that facilitates stock trading. It offers fee-free training with no minimum investment, letting you buy and sell stocks, options, and corporate bonds. In March it opened up its iOS app to everyone before releasing an Android version.
In order to remain competitive, Robinhood needs to further distinguish itself from many new entrants in the marketplace. Similar services include Rubicoin, TradeKing, and Zecco. By reducing how long it takes to transfer funds, Robinhood seeks to provide a service that's near real time, something that its target market — millennials — seems to expect.
Robinhood Instant is available by invite only; the company is opening up access based on how many people you can get to join the service. The more people who create an account through your unique referral link inside Robinhood's app, the sooner you'll receive access.

The two cranes at Wellington's port knocked out of action by the Kaikoura earthquake may not be back working for up to six months.
CentrePort was badly damaged in the November 14 quake, with the container area hardest hit.
The port has three gantry cranes. Two container cranes, which are more than 86 metres high and weigh 720 tonnes each, were rendered inoperable by ground uplift.
In the coming weeks work would secure the cranes, however it could be four to six months before container operations could resume, chief executive Derek Nind said in a statement.
That means ships without their own cranes won't be able to load or unload at the port during that time - forcing them to use other ports.
However, the port says two "geared ships" had already visited since the quake.
CentrePort was aware of the importance of container shipping to the region and had worked hard to get ships with cranes into the port, Mr Nind said.
Work on the gantry cranes will also aim to prevent them being knocked out in the event of another quake.
CentrePort's movement of ferries, fuel, logs, cars, and cruise ships continued to operate normally, Mr Nind said.

18.2 Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors
Eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
The eigenvalues of a matrix are the values for which one can find nonzero vectors such that . The eigenvectors are the vectors . Finding the eigenvalues of an matrix in principle involves solving an degree polynomial equation. Since for explicit algebraic solutions cannot in general be found, it is impossible to give explicit algebraic results for the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of all but the simplest or sparsest matrices.
Even for a matrix as simple as this, the explicit form of the eigenvalues is quite complicated.
In[1]:= Eigenvalues[ {{a, b}, {-b, 2a}} ]
If you give a matrix of approximate real numbers, Mathematica TE will find the approximate numerical eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
Here is a numerical matrix.
In[2]:= m = {{2.3, 4.5}, {6.7, -1.2}}
The matrix has two eigenvalues, in this case both real.
In[3]:= Eigenvalues[ m ]
Here are the two eigenvectors of m.
In[4]:= Eigenvectors[ m ]
Eigensystem computes the eigenvalues and eigenvectors at the same time. The assignment sets vals to the list of eigenvalues, and vecs to the list of eigenvectors.
In[5]:= {vals, vecs} = Eigensystem[m]
This verifies that the first eigenvalue and eigenvector satisfy the appropriate condition.
In[6]:= m . vecs[[1]] == vals[[1]] vecs[[1]]
This matrix represents a rotation.
In[7]:= a = Pi/3; r = {{Cos[a], Sin[a]}, {-Sin[a], Cos[a]}}
This finds its eigenvalues. For nonsymmetric matrices, the eigenvalues can have imaginary parts.
In[8]:= Eigenvalues[r]
The function Eigenvalues always gives you a list of eigenvalues for an matrix. The eigenvalues correspond to the roots of the characteristic polynomial for the matrix, and may not necessarily be distinct. Eigenvectors, on the other hand, gives a list of eigenvectors that are guaranteed to be independent. If the number of such eigenvectors is less than , then Eigenvectors appends zero vectors to the list it returns, so that the total length of the list is always .
Here is a matrix.
In[9]:= mz = {{0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 1}, {0, 0, 0}}
The matrix has three eigenvalues, all equal to zero.
In[10]:= Eigenvalues[mz]
There is, however, only one independent eigenvector for the matrix. Eigenvectors appends two zero vectors to give a total of three vectors in this case.
In[12]:= Eigenvectors[mz]

Chetan Sharma blows England away
Partab Ramchand - 31 January 2002
If ever proof is required that one has to be innovative to win limited
overs matches, the MRF World Series game between India and England at
Kanpur in October, 1989 provided it. And it was the Indian captain K
Srikkanth's gamble of promoting tailender Chetan Sharma to No 4 that led
to India scoring an improbable victory, the winning runs being scored
off the first ball of the penultimate over. When the teams took the
field, it was conceivable to put England in the favourites' circle. For
one thing, they had won all their three previous games against Sri
Lanka, Australia and Pakistan with a degree of comfort. India on the
other hand had arrived late for the tournament after completing their
engagements in Sharjah. They had scored a narrow six-run win over Sri
Lanka in their opening encounter before losing to the West Indies.
India too were given a good start with openers Srikkanth (32) and Raman
Lamba (16) putting on 41 runs. When Srikkanth was second out at 65,
Chetan Sharma, whose normal position in the strong batting line-up would
have been No 11, walked out to join Navjot Sidhu. Almost immediately, he
had a stroke of good fortune when Robin Smith failed to catch him on the
boundary. The pocket-sized medium pacer had made only three runs then.
Far from being unnerved by the early let off, Sharma did pretty much
what he liked with the bowling, which was in the hands of Angus Fraser,
Phil DeFreitas, Eddie Hemmings, Gladstone Small, David Capel and Gooch.
He shared a 105-run third wicket stand with Sidhu who was run out for
61. Joined by Dilip Vengsarkar, Shrama really turned on the heat. Some
of his shots were little more than slogging but none could question his
bold and enterprising approach. Fortune favours the brave and Sharma had
another stroke of luck, surviving a run out chance when 74. A little
later, Gooch dropped a catch. Riding on his luck, Sharma dominated a
fourth wicket partnership of 81 with Vengsarkar (31).
Finally, he reached his century and won the match with his eighth four.
For his unbeaten 101, Sharma faced only 96 balls and also hit a six.
India were finally home with six wickets and eleven deliveries to spare,
handing England their first defeat of the competition. Interestingly
enough, Chetan in a career of 65 one-day internationals, did not even
cross the half-century mark before or after this astonishing knock.
