The menu above has been ALPHABETIZED relative to links of the SAME COLOR. Color associates links which are similar in some way.
I have augmented my list with the alleged 'FAKE NEWS' list being pushed by the deep state. There are many sites on the propornot list which I liked and are respectable. There are also some bizarre wacko and from my point of view disgusting sites. For now it is all up there; the GOOD, the BAD and the UGLY.
Thursday April 6th:
This is a short entry. Checking in. Busy at work and progressing on my own article / comment page. Implementation in all technologies progresses. The Trump has made me turn inward and I find my own strength. All is well. For my overall well being I choose exercise twice a week and now I must my second session for this week do. Blake is back from South Dakota. He was asking about me and I expect to see him soon. I have always known him by that name.
The humblest citizen in all the land, when clad in the armor of a righteous cause, is stronger than all the hosts of error. I come to you in defense of a cause as holy as the cause of liberty - the cause of humanity. -- William Jennings Bryan
Postscript: I'm about to log off but my son just walked into the room and told me Trump has just launched sixty missiles at Syria. There are TVs where I exercise. And now his hands are drenched in blood.
Saturday March 11th:
At home today, my weekend. Time flies when you are busy. As I toil away putting together the software to run my own article comment blog software with encrypted membership control and content only available from a live viewed page, I miss that Wiki-Leaks has revealed tools used by the CIA that show why I am doing all this. My phone was hacked big about three years ago. The most recent demonstration of government abilities was a message sent to me over a period of a few days in text messages sent between my wife and I. Text which promptly disappeared. That was about a year ago. It was done to remind me I was still being watched and should think about what I wrote.
Random characters and words would be jammed into messages we sent between each other and then the characters and text would be gone. Right in the middle of messages. The CIA was not doing it but tools used by the CIA are also used by the secret service, the FBI and Homeland Security in a police state of watchers. It was a friendly reminder. Compared to the satanic possession of my phone a couple of years before that it was nothing.
How this relates to my current obsession and silence for the past two weeks is that having experienced what they can do as a result of discovering their active interference on common web platform internet software, I decided to write my own article comment code from scratch. It is at the mercy of being interfeared with on transmission but with code I fully understand and which I edit I will protect my root content and the content of users. Advances in current and public web development technologies such as HTML5 are helping demystify the complexity. It is ok if free speech demands a modern browser to interpret the code.
In todays world APPS which people use are massively complex but using simple computer language constructs it is possible to make simple but fully featured software. Software which protects the freedom and free speech of users. Code which harkens back to the days when entire programs could be typed into a personal computer in one session. Code which could be published in a pamphlet. My experiences as a victim of the government tools and their crazymaking motivated me to do this. My experiences also explain why I only use Linux when I can. Windows can actually ruin system components when instructed to do so. Full satanic possession.
You will be able to comment back to me when I write something like this after it is running.
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest -- Confucius
Update Sunday March 12th:
Reading the Vault 7: documents I see Linux is not secure. But I did not think it ever was. My contention is that when they are out to make your flash memory vanish or ruin your hard drive. Windows does it better! A bit finer control. Yet upon reflection I was loosing hard drives under both systems when I was under heavy attack. Three in a couple of months. Cylindrical read errors on all of them. All that from sniffing around and watching them work the net. The thing is, rigging my Windows machine so it would turn on when I walked into the room was really creepy. It took a while to figure out how they were doing that. Windows can also eat USB devices very effectively. That gets expensive fast, but not as fast as hard drives do. They made me their bitch both ways, but Windows was the creepshow.
It saddens me that most Americans are apathetic about being spied on and manipulated. They are complacent and comfortable allowing this evil to flourish so long as they do not become a victim of it.
If nature had not sown evils enough in life, we are continually adding grief to grief and aggravating the common calamity by our cruel treatment of one another. -- Joseph Addison
Monday February 27th:
Much more has happened at standing Rock. The cavalry rode in. Were I not so busy I might snag some pics in a search and post them. As it is I have made progress on getting my own article blog software with user comments going.
I'm turning away from the ugliness of the world for a while. The WYSIWYG edit display for users will be nice. I even have the submit button integrated into the tool-bar. The bones are working well. I have my distraction. Now I have to write code to manage users and not just that. The project grows. The first evidence visible here will be a change in my authorship habits.
To write this I am directly writing HTML so my paragraphs are all on one line in my editor. Moving around on the line is hard. Editor controls get twitchy if the line is long. When I integrate my user editor into my pages I will be able to write as easily here as any other place. I am taking a break from the Trumpocalypse. Someday I'll have software organizing my pile of links. Some of which are as wonky as the HTML editor I currently have to use.
If humanity does not opt for integrity we are through completely. It is absolutely touch and go. Each one of us could make the difference. -- Buckminster Fuller
Monday February 13th:
It never happened. Nothing ever happened. Even while it was happening it wasn't happening. It didn't matter. It was of no interest. The crimes of the United States have been systematic, constant, vicious, remorseless, but very few people have actually talked about them. -- Harold Pinter
I came across this quote today. Like Alice down the rabbit hole this quote's application has a myriad of dimensions. I have been coding to make things happen on my web site. I let the world go by but good progress. Nothing to show publicly yet. I intend to have a dynamic web page, handmade.
Saturday February 4th and updated Monday February 6th:
The following are still shots from the beginning of Jakes longer video which I downloaded from him at the same time I downloaded the shorter video I later uploaded to You Tube. The link to that video is in my previous post. These shots show how the main Oceti camp was separated from Last Child camp when seventy arrests were made a few days ago.
Oceti camp is on a floodplane and the elevated road you see goes through this floodplane. Last Child Camp was erected on top of a high hill behind the road you see. Look at the extreme left of the photo. You can see a 'tank man' water protector. He will be in the next photo as well. This is a panorama.
Four other leading water-protectors have walked into overwhelming force behind our 'tank man'. This photo was a scan to the left of the first. The other side of this panoramic sweep is shown next.
This is how the main Oceti Camp was separated from the Last Child Camp and all seventy in that camp were arrested this week. Water protectors will not be allowed on high ground. They would have a full view of the drill platform if they were and they'd be immune from flooding when the snow melts.
I had the good fortune to be able to explore the terrain at Oceti camp using a virtual reality headset linked to Google Earth this week. Being there in virtual reality two hundred feet above the ground let me understand the situation documented by Jakes videos very well. The experience made me appreciate that two statements made by the mainstream media about Last Child camp could not possibly be true.
I am not uploading the twenty four minute video to You Tube. They want to 'verify' me before I can. The seven minute video was easy to load up a couple of days ago but good they want to verify me before I can upload another. That motivates me to post the video myself. Trust no one. Google is paid to decide who is popular and who is not. It is not all algorithms but that is what you are led to believe.
Several years ago in the Macondo blowout I learned firsthand that Google who owns You Tube will take oil company money so I'm hosting the police raid video here on my own website.
A browser which can play this video will be HTML 5 compliant. I give you no sympathy if you don't have one. A compatible browser is a simple and free download away. HTML 5 has a video tag which is easy to use if you can get your files up to your server.
In the above video the camera is placed on the ground briefly and it records the sky. By total chance it photographs a drone. I was able to find the video footage this drone was recording on You Tube. Here it is.
Above is a view from the drone. Jake's follow-on video is below.
Please forgive our real life production values. This second video follows the first. It is the one I put on You Tube. Have patience, the camera gets turned right-side up quick enough.
Thursday February 2nd:
I present a video at Oceti camp made the day before yesterday and recorded as seventy arrests are being made. Jake narrates the video. My understanding right now is that a new encampment of tee-pees had been erected early Wednesday morning across a road at Oceti on a hill in a place which had not been camped on before now. This action warranted a swift response by Morton County goons who crossed at the Blackwater bridge barricade to break up the camp and make new arrests Wednesday afternoon.
Tuesday January 31st:
Here is some info on the Standing Rock Environmental Impact Statement. I'll be reading it myself today. I had just time to put it up for us all to see and then it's off to work for me.
Saturday January 28th:
I have a new report out of Standing Rock. Jake is busy and happy moving around Oceti which is much smaller now than it once was. He busies himself moving around camp making sure everyone is warm, that firewood gets delivered, that everyone is fed. Temperatures are below freezing and howling winds. Blowing snow everywhere. Empty frames of tent poles and teepees show where people once where.
Word around the campfire is that the Oceti Chiefs have been paid off, bribed. Let's stop and think about that for just a moment: you have a group of people who are voluntarily living in sub-freezing temperatures, at their own expense, whose sole motivation is keep the reservation free from oil contamination. These veteran-volunteers watch the oil drilling platform in shifts, making sure that the promises made in December of 2016 are upheld in January of 2017. Why in the world would you want them to leave?! There is no negative media spin on the protester's actions, there is no excess trash being generated by the temporary guests. The only thing that makes sense is bribery. Of course, as with all collusion, there is no direct evidence pointing to the actions of the Tribal Council. "The main objective of the people of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe was to stop the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, which has been achieved to a degree," said Cody Two Bears, the district representative from Cannon Ball.
Cody's statement takes no notice of President Trump's recent executive order to pave the way for the Keystone XL and DAPL pipelines. It is a distortion. Politics in native life is complex and the U.S. government using payoffs to manipulate native Americans, playing one off the other, is as old as America. The camp is peaceful and there is no need for it to move. Action at Blackwater Bridge will be turned back with tear gas and rubber bullets as has been the pattern over the past year, with occasional life threatening injuries. If drilling under Lake Oahe begins that pattern would not change. Injuries would only result if an assault is made at the battle line, at the bridge. The camp itself, protected by veterans, is safe.
When the spring thaw comes The water level in lake Oahe will rise. Trump may help it along depending on where his sympathies lie. Rule by the people or corporate oligarchy and if he goes the way of oligarchy we expire in a hate filled class war. Standing Rock is a test that will reveal what Trump really is. When the spring thaw comes the flow on the Oahe Dam will be regulated to an appropriate level of damming Trumpification if Trump hails to the dark side. The water level behind the Oahe dam will rise.
A contrary Trumpification of the dial would up the discharge from the Garrison Dam. Standing Rock is between the two Dams.
Oceti camp will be put under water. Lake Sakakawea, formed when The Three Affiliated Tribes were flooded out more than a hundred miles north in the 1950's has plenty of water to do the job. The climate seems to be changing. The Garrison Dam began filling up in 1954 but the overflow spillway was used for the fist time in 2011 after being dry for more than fifty years. The northern rain belt moves north.
For now Oceti camp is cold, the snow blows, people stay in their shelters. The camp does not close, the camp does not want to close. The camp became community. A deadline to close has come and gone and another will. The camp has brought meaning to lives.
It is a test of Trump. Will he allow racism to determine the route of the DAPL final course or will he move it north of Bismark where it belongs. The current route threatens the reservation. There are people who dismiss Standing Rock in a sweep of incomprehension saying the pipeline has to cross the river somewhere so it does not matter where it does because everyone downstream will be spilled on anyway. The truth is different. It very much matters where the DAPL crosses the river for major spill damage will be limited in area.
If a future DAPL built on the current route were to rupture under Lake Oahe alarms will go off and check valves will quench flow. Several hundred thousand gallons of stinky nasty and flammable North Dakota fracked crude will spread across the lake. Oil containment action will then go into effect and damage downstream will be mitigated. Damage would be conveniently restricted to Sioux Lands. The existing DAPL route could not have been picked with a more racist intent.
Oceti camp should move to higher ground before the spring floods and preserve their community for as long as possible. The vast majority of Americans are still ignorant of the happenings at Standing Rock over the past year. Mainstream American media continues to perpetuate an ugly agenda and blind acceptance of the dictates of authority remains our national zeitgeist. As long as water protectors are at Standing Rock enlightenment is still possible.
What will Uncle Don do? A smart man would move the pipe. Trump can be strong and move the pipe or he can be weak and succumb to injustice. Being weak could be easy for Trump to do. The drill platform is secure and ready to rumble. Blackwater Bridge on State Route 1806 was closed to protect the Drill platform and the water protectors have been held back by brutal force to protect the pad location.
Friday January 27th:
Three days ago I sent President Trump a letter about how to resolve the Standing Rock issue and make everybody happy. He has not got back to me yet. I did not put this in my correspondence because it was a serious letter. I wanted to be taken seriously and not be round filed.
The proper place for the DAPL to cross the Missouri River is 200 feet below Bismark directly under the North Dakota State Capital. Since everyone who works at the state capital drives to get to work and stays warm with natural gas there should be no objection.
Monday January 19th:
I am sad to report that things are not going well at Standing Rock. Steel coated rubber bullets were being fired yesterday.
We Are Moving Oceti Sakowin Camp
The sacred fire of the Seven Councils has been put to sleep.
The sacred fire can be lit in our hearts internally and spirituality forever.
The Horn has been filled with water and love and now the seeds of this water and love are being given to the world... As we are caretakers of this land we are familiar with the oncoming flooding of the land of Mni S'os'e (Missouri River) we ask occupants of the Oc'eti Oyate to evacuate as soon as possible for safety reasons.
~ The Horn
Monday January 1st: Happy new year. I have written an article. You can read it here.
The stuff below is dated, over a year old. The day will come when I have more time to spend on this, my website. Currently I'm a working stiff who needs to take some time off but I never seem to get to it. That's OK for now. The fifth horseman of unemployment had been dogging my but but now I'm earning funds to take care of business. In the last year I've updated some links but that is about it. I have spent a lot of time in the Doomstead Diner Forum where the comment software is expressive and seductive. All and all I should really spend more time here where I can be my own boss.Great challenge but with it the reward of survival and enlightenment. The planet can be saved and I thought we were all doomed. A watershed film and one of the most important you could watch. But watching a film does nothing if it does not lead to action so I have you find the movie from the cookbook. There may yet be time.
Scientists at the Trofimuk Institute of Petroleum Geology and Geophysics insist the process creating Siberian Craters is the emission of methane by melting gas hydrates.
Guy McPherson with K-Dog at the Royal Room in Seattle, Washington June 17th 2015. I worry but not as much as Guy does.
Guy McPherson presenting at the public library on Bainbridge Island, Washington June 18th 2015.
Bainbridge island is seven miles west of Seattle across Puget Sound. Many Years ago I lived there. At the time there were three distinct social classes. Well to do white people with big houses. Those of them who worked rode twenty minutes on a ferry to work in Seattle. The second class were local people who pumped gas, waited tables and did construction. In better times some of them were loggers. They lived in old farmhouses and trailers. The third group were minorities. Native American and Filipino. I'll let you guess which were in attendance at the Library. I got along with everybody.
A link to Guy's website can be found on this page.
Everything here is hand made. I type the raw HTML and all the code that drives this website.
Fellow anti-doomer doomers will enjoy the movie in the link below. Made way back in 1988 it is a brilliant and prophetic parody of modern times viewed from the landscape of sci-fi. The film has a message more poignant today than when it was made.
The perspective of a sustainalist vexes the soul. This movie is a great release from the mephitis we breath in every day in the pit of oblivion which surrounds us.
It was given to me by someone on a memory stick. I believe it was downloaded as a torrent by someone they know. Results of a recent trip beaming through the Andromeda Galaxy using the gravitational lens.

Architecture For Data Warehouse Computer Science Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
What is business intelligence. Business intelligence is a tools and applications used for analysis and interpretation of data. It also describe as analytical software. Business intelligence helps many organizations to make business decision and recommendations with the used of data warehouse. Usually, the backend system which is data warehouse responsible for achieving business intelligence. Besides, business intelligence also includes insightful analysis of the experience to do data mining and unstructured data.
What is data warehousing? A data warehouse is a subject-oriented, integrated, time-variant and non-volatile collection of data in support of management's decision making process. First of all, a subject-oriented mean a data warehouse is use to analyze and gives information about the specific area. For example, "products" would be a specific area to be analyzed. As for integrated, it means a data warehouse take the data from outside sources. For example, source X and source Z can have many ways of identifying product but in data warehouse there is only a single way to identifying the product. The next term is time time-variant which means data is stored according to the particular time period. All these data are so called historical data. For example, we can find the data from the months we want like 3 or 6 months or even older data from a data warehouse. Compare to a transaction system, the system usually only store the recent data. For instance, a transaction system may have the most recent address of the customer but data warehouse can have all the addresses related to the customer. Lastly but not least, non-volatile means when the data is store in the data warehouse, it will be stable and save forever. So, historical data in a data warehouse should never be altered. As a simple explanation, a data warehouse is used to stored data and creating information with the use of data marts.
Data warehouse architecture is built depends on the environment and situation of the system. So there is no right or wrong architecture. There are many interconnected layers in the data warehouse, the most simple possible conceptualization of data warehouse architecture consists of four layers which are operational layer, data access layer, metadata layer, informational access layer. Below is the diagram for simple data warehouse architecture.
Information Access Layer
Metadata Layer
Data Access Layer
Operational Database Layer
Operational Database Layer
The source data from outside sources.
Data Access Layer
This layer is for information access layer to communicate to the operational database layer. It is responsible for interfacing between information access tools and operational databases.
Metadata Layer
Meta-data is the data about data within the enterprise. The data directories for the entire data warehouse and can be accessed by reporting and analysis tool. End-users can see and get data from data warehouse without need to know where data is.
Information Access Layer
A layer that let the end-user deals with directly using tools like Excel, Lotus 1-2-3, and Access. Also includes hardware and software in displaying and printing reports.
ETL stands for extraction, transformation and loading. It is the core process of data integration and is typically related to data warehousing. ETL term is used to describe data migration or data conversion process. With the amount and complexity of data grew dramatically over the past decade so ETL processed became more complex and demanding.
Reliable Source
Make sure the data is extracted out from the correct and reliable master source. For example, the customer ID and address may be available in three different systems, but it extracts it out of a source where it is most complete.
Data Consistency
Extraction programs pick data from tens of different sources. Making sure that all the data across these systems represent a single business world and not the different business world in different time.
Time Availability
Make sure the data is available for further processing at the right time and in the right form. For example, if the transformation process starts at 5am in the morning, the extraction process should be able to extract out data from all the source systems before that, synchronized with their end of day.
Completeness of extraction
Make sure the data extraction is well audited. The process should be able to run the quality checks to confirm that all the data has been extracted from all sources before proceed to transformation process. For example, these checks are done typically on the basis of last business transaction date.
Quality of extraction
The process should ensure that there is complete synchronization between the extracted data what was in production databases and the staging area. This can be done in many ways like running count and aggregation matches on critical fields.
Extraction is the first part of an ETL process. In this process, we extract data from the outside source systems with a different data organization. The common formats used by systems are relational databases and flat files. There are two types of data sources which is non-cooperative sources and cooperative sources when choosing the data sources. The extract strategy is very dependent on the source type.
Non-cooperative Sources
Snapshot sources
Provides only full copy of source
Specific sources
Each is different, e.g., legacy systems
Logged sources
Writes change log (DB log)
Queryable sources
Provides query interface, e.g., SQL
Cooperative Sources
Replicated sources
Publish/subscribe mechanism
Call back sources
Calls external code (ETL) when changes occur
Internal action sources
Only internal actions when changes occur, e.g. DB triggers
The goal of extraction is fast extract of relevant data because extraction around the outside sources can take a long time to finish. In the process of extracting data, there are two types of extracts which is extract applications (SQL) and DB unload tools. If comparing to the speed of extraction, DB unload tools will be the choice. However, if comparing with co-existence with other applications, the Extract applications (SQL) will be the choices. In addition, the longest time the extraction of data takes it will cause the operational systems and data warehouse systems become heavy loaded. Besides, extraction should extract only changes since the last load of the data source. There are number of methods can be used to extract only changes in data source.
Store sorted total extracts in Data Staging Area (DSA)
Always possible to do it
Handles deletions
Does not reduce extract time
Put update timestamp on all rows
Reduces extract time
Less operational overhead
Cannot handle deletions
Source system must be changed
DB triggers
Operational application need not be changed
Enable real-time update of data warehouse
Operational overhead
Replication based on DB log
Operational application need not be changed
No operational overhead
Not possible in some DBMS (SQL server, DB2, Oracle can do it.)
In actual scenarios data source can be in many forms like Excel, Access, Delimited text, CSV (Comma Separated Files) and etc. So extraction process handle's the complexity of understanding the data source and loading it in a structure of data warehouse.
Transform is the second part of ETL process. This process can also be called as cleaning up process. At this stage, it'll apply a series of rules or functions to the extracted record to derive the data for loading into the end target database. It's not necessary that after the extraction process data is clean and valid. For instance all the financial figures have NULL values but you want it to be zero for better analysis. So you can have some kind of stored procedure which runs through all extracted records and set the value to zero. In a certain situation, one or more of transformation types may be needed to meet their business and technical needs.
Transformation Types:
Select only certain columns to load. For instance you may select the column without null value or blank value.
Encoding. Converting to a common coding system. Gender may be coded, for instance, in a variety of ways (e.g., m/f, male/female, or M/F) in different systems. The extraction program must transform data from each application to a single coding system (e.g., m/f).
Unit of measure. Distance, volume and weight can be recorded in varying units in different systems (e.g., centimeters and inches) and must be converted to a common system.
Field. The same attribute may have different names in different applications (e.g., sales-date, sdate, or saledate), and a standard name must be defined.
Date. Dates are stored in a variety of ways. In Europe, the standard for date is dd/mm/yy, and in the U.S. it is mm/dd/yy, whereas the ISO standard is yyyy-mm-dd.
Filtering and sorting extracted record.
Merge data from multiple sources.
Do simple or complex data validation on extracted records. If the validation fail when validating the records, it may result the extracted records proceed to the next process.
Creating common keys. Different systems have different keys in different systems representing the same entity. For example, the core production system could have agent code different from the sales system. It also applies for vendor, customer and other codes. Basically, this change should be first done in the production systems it-self.
Creating surrogate keys. Creating common keys is linked to production keys. In the dimensional model, one should use the surrogate keys in the loaded data and star-schemas. Another one can keep the production key as one of the attribute in the dimension table.
Data Type conversion. There are many fields in the production data system which is not in used in processing logics. For example, you may find Agents A, having credit cards with the customer in character forms. Then it will need data type conversion in order for the next process.
De-normalization. In the process changing to data warehouse model, it usually comes out with a result normalizing and de-normalizing. De-normalization often is used in the process of comparing because as a dimension model inherently heavily skewed towards being de-normalized. For example, you may have city, zone, region and country in separate tables in a production data model, and then those fields will be de-normalized in the dimension model.
Normalization process is less use for comparing. The reason is that in real world the production database are not normalized to expectations. The reasons are highly de-normalized production tables leads to response time issues due too many joins.
While in the process of transformation, the process must make sure the data quality is in data warehouse format or quality. The first criteria are precise, data warehouse data must match known numbers or an explanation is needed. Secondly is the completeness, data warehouse has all relevant data and the users know it. Third is the consistent to make sure do not have contradictory data in data warehouse. Fourth is the unique value, the data must not duplicate in another place. Last is the timely, make sure data is update frequently enough and the user know when to do it.
Unfortunately, some of the data collected from applications may be dirty. They contain errors, inconsistencies, or redundancies. There are a variety of reasons why data may need cleaning:
The same record is stored by several departments. For instance, both Human Resources and Production have an employee record. Duplicate records must be deleted.
Multiple records for a company exist because of collection of same data. For example, the record for Time Warner should be removed because it was acquired by AOL.
Multiple entries for the same entity exist because there are no corporate data entry standards. For example, FedEX and Federal Express both appear in different records for the same company.
Data entry fields are misused. For example, an address line field is used to record a second phone number.
Data cleaning starts with determining the dirtiness of the data. An analysis of a sample should indicate the extent of the problem and whether commercial data-cleaning tools are required. Data cleaning is not a one-time process. All data added to the data warehouse should be validated in order to maintain the integrity of the warehouse. There are several types of cleansing:
Conversion and normalization
Convert text to certain format according to the coding system and also the date formats.
It is a most common type of cleansing.
Special-purpose cleansing
Normalize the spellings of name, addresses, sale date and etc to a standard formats used in data warehouse.
Remove duplicates record like duplicate customers.
Rule-based cleansing
Clean record with user-specified rules.
Automatic rules. Use data mining to find patterns in data. E.g. guess missing sales person based on customer and item.
Loading is the final process of ETL. Data loading starts after the data in transformation process are ready. The process is straight forward because just move the transformed data to the end target database. There are several methods can be used:
Off the logging while load the data
Once the logging is off, it will save a lot of overhead instead of create transaction log to the action that it do on to the database.
Remove the indexes and create new indexes
It similar to log in process, index is related to the overhead because every write action the process do it will also create the index as well. If the process going on, it will slow down the loading time. So you remove all the indexes and add it later after loading process is completed.
Sort the file by primary key before move the data to data warehouse
Sorting the file greatly decreases the loading time and it is a most often used method. If you want to create index for other column, you can drop and recreate them later.
Balance the views of index
Balancing the views of index is much more suitable for source systems. Loading time is increase when there are too many indexes but it also can't have too few indexes because it will cause the user access time to be increase.
Do not create new table but append to it
By using append it'll consume less time rather create table from zero. There is also a special condition when create new data, if having too many records and data then it is better to drop and create again.
Parallelize the indexes and the progress of loading table
Removing indices and large amount of data loading in parallel will greatly decreases the loading time. Most of the integration services provide this feature.
Limit the number of times of updating
When you may update certain data marts in less times in daily. This can save a lot of time.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)
Four Importance components:
Integration Services Service: Monitoring the package and controlling the storage package.
Integration Services Object Model: Manage the communication between integration services and users for access the tools, command-utilities and custom application.
Integration Services Runtime: Saves the design of packages, runs packages, and provides support for logging, breakpoints, configuration, connections, and transactions. As for the run-time executables are the package, container and task.
Integration Services Data Flow: Have a data flow engine that manage the moving of data from source to destination and also manage transformation that edit data and finally is load the data to the destination.
Create ETL Package
First of all, the basic requirement of creating ETL package is to understand the format of source data and destination data. After understand those formats you can start the transformation to mapping the source data to destination data.
Look on the source data
Firstly, determine what kind data of it and it store in the flat file, relational file, unstructured data and structured data.
For example: SampleCurrencyData.txt
It has four columns which is average rate of currency, currency key, date key and end-of-date rate. After viewing of the data in source data, then you can determine what type of data type use in destination data.
Look on the destination data
The next step is to design the table data type according to the source data information. For example, like a below diagram.
Column Name
Data Type
Lookup Table
Lookup Column
Mapping the source data to destination data
After have a completed analysis on source data and destination data, then is how the mapping to be done. From the example, CurrencyKey and TimeKey values must be look up in somewhere else. It should obtain the value from the alternate keys from the dimension tables through transformations.
Flat File Column
Table Name
Column Name
Data Type
Step 1:
Start the SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio
Select Integration Services Project and give a name to the project.
Click finish then an empty package is on the screen.
Step 2:
You have to add connection manager depend on your source file. We using flat file as example so add a flat file connection manager. In the flat file connection manager, you can specific the file name and location, file format and column delimiters. For extracting the exactly file but not the other one, you must create one new flat file connection manager exactly for one file format so it would not extract other flat file. Next, you should identify the column name that match the fact table column name so it will be useful when loading data. Last you should map the data type for each column.
Right click on Connection Managers and choose New Flat File Connection…
Flat file connection manager dialog box appear on screen, type in the connection manager name and browse to the location of flat file.
In the flat file connection manager dialog box, click Advanced.
Change the column name to match fact table column name.
Finally click Ok.
Step 3:
The third step is to add OLE DB connection manager so can connect to destination data source and allow package to be extract or load data into OLE DB data source.
Right click on connection manager and choose New OLE DB connection…
Click New when dialog box appear.
Specify your server name, log on to server, which database to be connected.
Now you will have two connections.
Step 4:
The fourth step is to add data flow task into the package. Data flow task encapsulates the data flow engine to move data from data source to destination source at the same the process of extraction, transformations, and loading occur when it move.
Click the control flow tab.
Drag data flow task from toolbox to design surface.
After drag it to design surface, click data flow task and find name property and rename it something meaningful. In the example, it should be "Extract Sample Currency Data".
It'll appear on screen writing "Extract Sample Currency Data".
Step 5:
In this step, you'll add the from data source to the package. The from data source is a data flow component that uses metadata to specify the format and structure of the data to be extracted from the source by transform process. The extraction process extract data according to the file format definition provided by the connection manager of the from data source.
Once again, click the Data Flow tab.
According to the example, drag a Flat File Source to the design surface.
Click the newly added Flat File Source, find name property and rename it to "Extract Sample Currency Data".
Double click the Flat File Source to open the editor dialog box.
In the connection manager box, select the source data.
Click Columns and verify that the names of the columns are correct.
Click OK.
Step 6:
Next is to add lookup transformations to obtain the value when can look up for any table in destination data source by performs a specified column to column in a reference dataset. In addition, if you have more than two lookup value then you need two or more lookup transformation tool.
In the toolbox, drag Lookup to the design surface of Data Flow tab. Place Lookup below the data source.
Click the data source and pull the green arrow the Lookup transformation to connect it.
Click Lookup transformation and change property name to meaningful name.
Double click Lookup transformation. A dialog box appears.
On the General page, select Full cache and in the Connection type area select OLE DB connection manager.
Next is the connection page, ensure the destination data source name is displayed.
Retrieve the look up value by type in the SQL query.
Then go to Columns page, drag the field from data source and drop it to the field of destination data source. Select the key primary key.
If you have two lookup transformation, then the second one you need to drag another lookup and put below the first lookup. Join drag green arrow from first lookup to second lookup.
In the output and input dialog box, click Lookup Match Output in the Output list box, and then click OK.
Double click second lookup, in the General page select partial cache.
On Connection page, make sure destination data source is displayed.
In the Use a table or view box, select the table you look for.
Then go to Columns page, drag the field from data source and drop it to the field of destination data source. Select the key primary key.
On the Advanced page, review the caching option. Finally click OK.
Step 7:
From step 6 you have done, your package now can extract data and transform data to the specific format. In this step is to load the transformed data to the destination data source.
Drag OLE DB Destination from toolbox to design surface in the data flow tab.
Drag the green arrow from second lookup to the OLE DB Destination
Click Lookup Match Output in the Input Output Selection dialog box. Click OK.
Rename OLE DB Destination name property to something meaningful.
Double click OLE DB Destination, ensure the destination data source is selected.
Select the fact table in the Name of the table or view box.
Click mappings and make sure all the columns from input columns are mapped correctly to the destination columns. If the column is not map then the mapping is not correct. Finally Click Ok.
Final Step:
You should the following diagram.
Before you run the package, you should contain the objects shown in the above diagram. To run the package, go to Debug menu then click Start Debugging.
In my conclusion, a big organization needs a data warehouse database badly for manage their data. Because every system stores the data with different format, so they need a data warehouse to manage their data in a standard format. It is easy for them to display report and doing analysis, especially the ETL process. With just click, drag and drop will create a data warehouse database. Furthermore, the process to create ETL package is easier compare to last time. Last but not least,
you can build the best data warehouse in the world, but if you can't enter data into it, it will become useless. Creating the ETL processes is the key to the success of your data warehouse if you take your time to do it wisely and finally you can make your life easier also. So for anyone who wants to build business intelligence system, then you need to take care and take time to create a good ETL process.

Playing the Field: Teams dig deep to secure wins
Updated: March 27, 2014 at 4:56 pm
ENGAGE: Write a letter to the editor | Comment on this story
Well it is March and the "Madness" is everywhere! But with any "disease," there is a cure. And that cure is more Charlotte Sports!
Roller Derby
The Gastonia G Force had their home opening bout on March 16 down at Kate's Skating Rink versus Kannapolis Rollergirls. The G Force were looking to bounce back from a tough defeat on the road March 1 against the Smoky Mountain Rollergirls, 180-118. The Kannapolis squad was just kicking off their season with this bout, but did not look rusty at all from the winter break. This was a defensive struggle from the outset as the teams exchanged the lead throughout the match. But, in the end, Gastonia was able to win the bout with a late rally to hold off Kannapolis, 166-155.
Next up for Gastonia are the Palmetto State Rollergirls out of South Carolina on April 6, while Kannapolis takes on the Charlotte Rollergirls B-Dazzlers on April 12 in Charlotte. For times and ticket information for these bouts, check them out online at facebook.com/gforcederby and charlotterollergirls.com/.
Dragon Boat
Last month, we brought you information on Queen City's one and only Dragon Boat team, One World. Their season is quickly approaching now and they are looking for men and women of any creed or color to come try out and/or support their crew. The first race for the team is on May 17 here in the Charlotte area. They will be competing in the Charlotte Asian and Dragon Boat Festival taking place on Lake Norman. Check out the event's website for time, location, and ticket information.
The rest of the team's schedule is as follows:
Lake Lure — June 14
Beaufort, SC — July 26
Atlanta — Sept. 13
Carolina Beach — Sept. 20
Disney Orlando — Oct. 18
If you want any information not covered here, check out their Facebook page at facebook.com/pages/One-World-Dragon-Boat/146389255492768 or their website at oneworlddragonboat.org/.
The Carolina Showstoppers have done it! They completed an amazing undefeated season by sweeping through their league's tournament 3-0 to take home the championship. The Showstoppers' feat was made even all the more impressive by winning their two matches in the final with only five players on the court. They destroyed the Belmont Crushers 25-8 and 25-13, which had no answer for the big heavy spikes of Ron Tessener on the wing or the exceptional serving of Shawn Charlton and Bri Skinner. Congratulations to them and we wish them the same type of performance next year.
The Royals have continued their winning ways into 2014 by beating two solid Southeast teams down in Charleston a month ago. First, Charlotte took on the Atlanta Bucks in game one of a three-team/three-game mini-tournament. Charlotte capitalized early on with a blocked kicked by Craig Maxwell, who also tracked down the bowl in the try zone for a score. For the remainder of the half, Atlanta controlled the ball and the tempo, but they were never able to convert any scoring chances. In the second half, the Royals wore the Bucks down and were able to score with their speed on the wings, winning 21-0.
In the second game, Charleston and Charlotte faced off. The Blockade have never beaten the Royals and Charlotte was not about to let that change. They overpowered and outran their southern opponent early on, building up a three-try lead at half and finishing them off in the second, scoring three more times, winning 38-0. The most impressive feat of those two matches was the goose eggs put up by Charlotte's defense. It had become their calling card, so teams know they will have to score multiple times to defeat them, if they can.
Up next for Charlotte is a March 29 matchup with the UNCC men's team and an April 12 matchup with Table Rock in Gastonia. These will be by far Charlotte's toughest matches of the season as they prepare for the Bingham Cup in August. For more information, visit charlotteroyals.org /. : :

|Prime Minister, Agronomist
Ibrahim Aqif Biçakçiu (also known as Ibrahim Biçaku) was an Albanian landowner and Axis collaborator, Prime Minister of Albania during the Nazi occupation, from September 25 to October 24, 1943 and from August 29 to November 28, 1944.[1]
Early life[edit]
Ibrahim Aqif Bej Biçakçiu was the son of Aqif Pasha Biçakçiu of Elbasan. Ibrahim was born in Elbasan in 1905. His family helped in the Independence of Albania and it was through his family influence that he grew up with the same ideology and beliefs.
Balli Kombëtar[edit]
In 1943, together with Bedri bey Pejani and Xhafer Deva, he helped found a national committee of twenty-two Albanian and Kosovo Albanian leaders, which declared Albania independent and which elected an executive committee to form a provisional government.[2]
Prime minister[edit]
Following a week of negotiations, Ibrahim Bicaku agreed to lead a new and small government after Fiqri Dine.[3] Although Bicaku was the perfect friend of Germany, his reign was nevertheless quite incompetent. This was mainly because Germany was on the brink of defeat and the Albanian partisans were moving out, ready to strike.[4] Tirana paper noted that he had headed the provisional executive committee exactly one year earlier, prior to the construction of the Mitrovica government.[5] Bicaku had become, once again, the front man for the Germans. It was noted that Bicaku would occasionally play Ping-Pong with Ambassador Schliep.[6]
After the war[edit]
Despite many of the Ballists fleeing Albania after the Communists announced their victory, Biçakçiu, like Father Anton Harapi, choose not to leave and decided that he would rather die in his country of birth than on foreign soil.[7] He was arrested by communist forces in Shkodra on 6 December 1944 and was sentenced to life in prison at the Special Court in Tirana on 13 April 1945. He spent most of his years in prison in Burrel and was released on 5 May 1962 in Elbasan.[8] In his last years he was given a job as a public restrooms cleaner in his city of Elbasan.[9] Biçakçiu died on 4 January 1977.[10]

text: Do you really need to do a liver detox or is it just a trendy way to ignore your body's needs? If the following describes YOU, your detoxification system might be trying to tell you something! History of alcohol/drug use or hepatitis Long term prescription drug use Sensitive to chemicals (tobacco smoke, fumes, perfume, cleaning agents, etc.) Pain between the shoulder blades Stomach upset by greasy foods Greasy or shiny stools History of nausea, motion sickness, or morning sickness Light or pale colored stools Headache over the eyes Gallbladder attacks Bitter taste in the mouth (especially after meals) Become sick or easily intoxicated if drinking wine Easily hung over Pain under right side of rib cage Hemorrhoids or varicose veins NutraSweet (aspartame) consumption Chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia So if this is you– read on, learn how your detoxification system works, and how to support it! Just as nature intended, your body has the ability to "spring clean" naturally on a daily basis if your diet adequately supplies for the process (no special juice cleanse needed)! Natural liver detox (without powders and supplements) is much safer, effective and gentler than a supplemental detox diet. WHY? Because eating whole foods, rather than supplements and powders gives your body well-rounded nutrition with a wide spectrum of nutrients to DRIVE detoxification flawlessly! An analogy: Liver detoxification is like cleaning your laundry FILTRATION. First a good baseline of nutrients allow the liver the ability to filter the blood; identifying good things (food and nutrients) and bad things (toxins and harmful substances). This is similar to finding stains in your laundry. PHASE 1 DETOXIFICATION. Next the body uses enzymes and nutrients to transform the bad guys (toxins, used hormones, RX drugs, food additives, etc). The goal of this phase is to begin neutralizing a toxin and start to make it into a water-soluble compound that is able to leave the body. However at this half way point, toxin reactivity actually increases, and can cause problems if it does not continue to phase 2 right away. Think of phase 1 detoxification as a pre-wash cycle. PHASE 2 DETOXIFICATION. Phase 2 acts upon phase 1 as the final transformation stage on the toxin, making it water-soluble for removal from the body. Amino acids (building blocks of protein) DRIVE this stage, as they attach to the toxins to further neutralize and escort them out of the body. Phase 2 is like the main wash cycle that removes dirt and debris leaving your clothes clean. ELIMINATION. Lastly, the toxins are eliminated out the digestive track via bile, or via the kidneys in urine. Much like the drain and spin cycle.

Overall though, Wideo is an absolutely excellent program and would be great in a huge variety of subjects. Students could make an animation about a historical figure, a character in a novel, create their own story, explain lab procedures, make a commercial, and so much more. Plus, it's free! Definitely worth checking out for your classroom!More about Wideo

Oh dear. I can't believe it's been over a week since I've posted. That's just sad. & yet, I'm still not going to really be posting. I'm just letting you know that I'm still alive.
I've been scrambling around this past week trying to study for exams, write papers, etc. When I haven't been doing said homework (or going to class--I ACTUALLY WENT TO CLASS LAST WEEK!!!!!!!!!!), I've been napping.
But yes, I'm alive. & I'll be posting for reals tomorrow. Hopefully.
from Pasadena with love,

The Asian Network for Free Elections (ANFREL) has reported that the environment for the Constituent Assembly election in Nepal is weakening in the majority of districts.
The ANFREL, in its second pre-election report said that rivalry between political parties is resulting in incidents of violence and intimidation across the country, adding that the response by the authorities has also been inadequate.
The pre-poll report, which is based on findings from its 20 international election observers deployed across the country since March 15, the ANFREL officials, claimed, adding that the political parties should ensure utmost restraint at every step.
Somsri Hananuntasuk, the executive director of ANFREL, said that the parties should implement agreements and declarations agreed on curbing election-related violence and refrain from using party cadres in large numbers around polling stations. The report pointed out that both the Maoists and non-Maoist elements as causes of poll violence.
The ANFREL observers pointed out that the Youth Communist League, the youth wing of Maoist as the primary aggressor in violent conflicts between political parties. Another team of 80 ANFREL observers is arriving in Kathmandu on Thursday.

Who Stays in Treatment? Child and Family Predictors of Youth Client Retention in a Public Mental Health Agency
The present study examined predictors of youth client retention in therapy in a large community-based sample. We used several conceptualizations of retention, including (a) "intake retention" (i.e., returned to treatment after intake session); (b) "mutual termination" (i.e., termination agreed upon by family and therapist), (c) "mean treatment duration" (i.e., completing the mean number of sessions in the agency), and (d) "total treatment duration" (i.e., total number of sessions). Archival data from over 400 children and adolescents who sought treatment at a large public mental health clinic were analyzed using regression analyses. Although different predictors were identified across the various conceptualizations, a few robust predictors emerged including ethnicity and client symptom severity. Clinical implications and future research directions are discussed.

just my introduction :)
Hello all!
Well me and my fiance have known we are poly(triad trangle 1male 2female) for about a year now and have been trying to find someone for about 6 months. We have tried talking to people we know, friends, and MANY dating sites and haven't had any luck, just 3 girls who were posing to be interested and used us to get away from their home lives or turned out to use us for the attention i guess :/.
Either way, long story short we are tired of looking for people on "normal" or even on bisexual dating sites because no one understands on there what it is we are looking for. So we trolled your forums for a few days and are posting here because you all seem very informed and seem to have good hearted people here and hope to either find someone someday or be pointed in the proper directions because we can't seem to find anything :/. If you guys know of any dating sites for polyamorus couples, then let us know. :)
Oh and we live in the Northern KY/Cincinnati area btw.:D
I know what you mean in finding someone normal....we are looking for our third and I might as be looking for the ghost of the flying dutchman...Im new too so hello
^_^ thanks for the welcome i'm sure you'll find someone eventually!
As will you!
Oh, to have our triangle completed before our wedding next year is a distant dream it seems like at this point, but you are right. I am a true believer that everything will always work out in the end lol.
Welcome to the boards. And just to lift your hopes some.... Try finding a understanding lover when you live in Alaska:)
omg that would blow! O.o
Yeah, just not a lot of options up here (in Ak). Either they are drunks or they are Bible thumpers-neither of which is productive for a family with 4 kids already!
But I have faith that a man as devoted and good as Maca is will find another good woman!
The main poly oriented matchmaking website is called polymatchmaker.com and it is kind of hit or miss. It will let you search by state, province or country at least.
Happy trails. Glad you found us here.
