In the past, I have written about serendipity in genealogy, and for some reason, the past few weeks have bombarded me with serendipitous moments. I would almost call it an onslaught. When one specific issue keeps coming at me without my seeking it out, I pay close attention.
I have always been a little fascinated by African American history. Not to the point of digging much on my own, but if a story or article presented itself, I read it....I cannot explain the draw, but it's been there. Growing up in Ohio, with family from both sides of the river, I had one foot in the north, and one in the south. As a researcher, I have not found slave owners in my family, but that is only a matter of generational reach. For those ancestors in the south without slaves, they were simply too poor to own any. When the Civil War came about, they took up arms to readily fight for the Confederacy. I am certain it is only a matter of time before I encounter enslaved individuals in my family. My point here, is that I have not had a personal family draw to this issue...the personal connection lies in the troubling existence of racism in my family on subtle, insidious levels. As with many northern families who smugly think they are not affected by racism, cue bubble and pin. Pop!
There is much more to that personal connection, but I'll leave all of that for another time. Today I just want to speak to the issue of AA, POC, BH research in the genealogy field. Let me outline some of the serendipitous moments that have hit me upside the head lately:
1. At the end of March, genealogist Valerie Hughes posted a couple of blog posts about the importance of adding slave records to your family trees. She asked a Facebook audience if this was something people should do...and the response was overwhelmingly positive.
2. Even though I did not have this in my own family to report (yet), I had come across many entries over the years regarding folks of slave descent - in various documents at the Kentucky Historical Society. Every time I encountered one, I always had a moment of excitement, seeing another name, another identity....followed by despair, because I had no earthly clue what to do with this information....and I usually just put the film away. Sigh....this happens more often than I would like to admit.
3. I watched a movie about Holocaust survivors who had lost touch after the War because they thought each other dead. Decades later, when one of them witnessed proof that the other was still alive, she called the Red Cross who accessed his "case file" to see if they should re-open it in the hopes of connecting them back to their family. I was saddened the U.S. had never made this type of effort at the end of slavery, to assist with family members connecting back to each other.
4. Number 2 made me think about Valerie's encouragement, and I began entertaining thoughts about slave mapping. Was it possible to record the name of every slave mentioned in a county's document collection? I was thinking on a county-wide level as a start. Pull every will, record the names mentioned. Pull every court doc, record the names, etc. While I was pretty sure it was possible, what about the white owners? If we recorded every slave named in wills and court docs, would that help with anything? Since white names were also duplicated in counties, wouldn't we need to map the white owners, make profiles of them and then link the recorded names to these profiles? And what if it was due to an estate dispersal? If the slaves were transported across county or state lines, did that remove the trace? My eyes were crossing already.
5. A co-worker had left a book on my desk as a review copy for Kentucky Ancestors...it was a compiled list of slaves mentioned in Kenton County, taken from the court records. OK, proof it is possible, sitting on my desk. Freaky! (I have been aware of other transcription collections produced over the decades, but a fairly comprehensive one plopped on my desk at that moment...caught my attention.)
5. After talking with said co-worker about my latest thoughts, we entertained Valerie's "tree" concept. Despite the complex emotions on both sides, should we as genealogists be pushing the family tree software designers to add a new relationship related to slavery? As we got excited, claiming we were going to change the genealogy world, our boss came in with some reason....how would you categorize this type of "relationship"? Ownership, slave of, enslaved by? Sigh....good point...so, now what? We both decided that just a "note" in the family tree was not enough. We need something more significant...more quantifiable. Still have no solution - ideas?
6. Just in from mowing the lawn Sunday and passing the time while my Dad looked at my heating/cooling system (on the blink again), I picked up the iPad and clicked on Twitter. At that moment, True Lewis had posted a link about an ongoing podcast/live call-in show from AAGSAR (African American Genealogy and Slave Ancestry Research). I re-tweeted it and then tuned in...wow, amazing issues being brought forth about how the genealogy profession treats AA records and research. Also, how engaged are we? How do we actively help families re-connect? As a field, are we diverse? Conclusion, not really, and change is long overdue.
1. As genealogists, what can we do to help? Even though we all seem to have tons of projects on our plate, I don't believe this is a project issue, but rather a support issue. What changes do we need to make in mindset and attitude to effect lasting change and inclusion across the board?
2. A push for more diversity in the genealogy field is about to take place from the AAGSAR crowd, particularly in the national conference arena. How do we support this? What can we do to make sure this issue comes to the forefront of dialogue?
3. Is some of the diversity vacuum in our field a result of terrible, yet comfortable racist habits, or are they amplified by the silo nature of genealogical research? When we host AA speakers for our genealogy programs, they are more attended by the AA community, and much less attended by our white members....However, this is also true of specific ethnic research. We hosted a speaker with heavy Swedish roots and the numbers were VERY low because many dismissed this as a session that did not apply to their research. It is a natural excuse to not attend one session if you do not feel it will cover your area of research - even though MOST have reported that every session teaches them some methodology that has proven helpful in their own journey. NOT making any excuses, but how to we dig deep into the motivation behind behaviors?
4. As an area of research, I have encountered several labels for African American research...as I mentioned in the intro warning...is there a preferred term I should be using when talking about this branch of research? Looking for all of them in Twitter is enlightening. Would a unified consistency help in this area... not only for discussion but for written works and websites, etc?
5. The goal of AAGSAR is to encourage more sharing of AA stories and research. I love the concept that lurkers are not welcome - you have to PARTICIPATE in order to belong. They ask members to create a social media account of some kind for the express purpose of sharing their research and family stories - hopefully blogs. As mentioned on the podcast, how to we include, encourage, and promote these blogs throughout the community?
6. OK, recording names of those enslaved....I have seen several attempts from various state or regional organizations. All are wonderful databases. But....if we simply record names without enough context, without the family connections (both white and black) are we keeping the chains of bondage in place? Are we locking the information away? Here's what I mean...how does a researcher access their family roots? Without the traditional paper trail that white families are privileged to have access to, how would slave descendants find their family? Do they go back to the 1870 census, find a location and then try to mine the local records for more clues? Death record clues of birth and parentage? I always teach my session attendees to include the local history in your research to put your family history into context. If slave descendants are not allowed to place their ancestor in family/local context, is it almost a blind, disconnected search? If we pushed for more family context in the family tree software, would it help more families connect to each other? Would that lead to more information, and additional links in the family chain?
African American Genealogy Group of Kentucky got started. The first statewide AA genealogy group in Kentucky. That too was a serendipitous moment. I had gotten up early on a Saturday morning (I don't get up early on my days off EVER if I can help it.) after reading about a lost AA community that was being resurrected in my county by Shirl Marks. I had stumbled upon it in the paper the evening before while out to dinner with the parents. My Dad had picked up the local paper, which he NEVER does. I read the notice about the talk at the local library, and went because it sounded fascinating. The following program was the second meeting of AAGGKY. I met people there that day that I have remained involved with and admire greatly! A few have even become good friends. That day as I volunteered to help them with start-up activities (web site, blog, etc) their President Sharyn Mitchell looked at me and thanked me for my help, and then said "Are you going to be there for us?" For a minute I was confused....I had just volunteered to help....but I quickly understood. Was I there to pay lip service, or was I going to come through with my promises of help? I think that is a question we can ask ourselves. Are we going to pay lip service, or are we ready to change things? I would love to see new chains of friendship and family forged to overcome the ugly chains forged in our history.
One last note about timing and relationships: In Summer 2012, Pam Brinegar wrote an amazing article for the NGS Magazine.1 It was about a female slave owner in Lexington who had made provisions for her slaves to not only be freed upon her death, but to inherit her entire farm as a means of allowing them to build a community and financial security in the 1850s. At the time this article was published, the KHS library was actively researching a new acquisition of letters written by enslaved and free African Americans during the 1840s ans 50s. The family connections ran from Lexington, through Hopkinsville, to Mississippi. We had just obtained the letters the month before...and as I read Pam's account, I caught a Hopkinsville connection to the woman in the article. It turns out, that one of the letters in our collection, addressed to his family in Hopkinsville, was written by a former slave announcing his newly obtained freedom in Lexington after the death of his owner. That owner was the woman Pam had been researching. Through Pam's research, we were able to pinpoint the women in Ferdinand's lineage and even found him in a Fayette County court document listed as a toddler years earlier. Talk about serendipity, or something greater....Not only was he declaring his freedom, but the research proved that despite the ugliness of slavery, we are all family. In many cases, by blood, and in others simply by sharing nationality and history. The more we learn about how we are connected, the more we can build strong family ties. Which means, the responsibility lies with all of us to make this change happen.

The lengths Apple will go to shave a fraction of a millimeter from its devices are evident in the display assembly for its new 15" Retina Macbook Pro. According to the repair and recycling experts at iFixit, Apple's latest efforts resulted in a display that is just a hair thinner than the previous MacBook Pro, despite packing in four times the amount of pixels.
LCD displays are typically contained in a thin metal frame, sandwiched between a rear casing, a front glass panel, and a bezel. The new Retina MacBook Pro, in contrast, uses the rear casing as the frame, and a fused front glass as the display cover and bezel. The whole thing is held in place with a few screws and a thin rubber grommet. (iFixit performed a teardown of the MacBook Pro last week, but this latest teardown goes into detail on the retina display itself.)
To save even more space, cables for the display itself, as well as the FaceTime camera and integrated antennas, route directly through the hinges. Previous designs used cable retainers to route the cables around the hinges. There's no way to remove the cable from the hinges, either, making replacement a tricky venture at best.
While that makes the display ever so slightly thinner than before, it makes potential repairs more costly. "There's no way to replace just the LCD, since the entire thing is the LCD, so users with unfortunate accidents will have to replace the complete assembly," iFixit's Miro Djuric told Ars via e-mail. "The intricacies of opening the display also mean that if anything else should fail inside, that same assembly will still have to be replaced, or the user will have to make do without the component."

Texas Instruments throws in the towel on OMAP, to limit work on smartphone and tablet chips
posted by Daniel P. / Sep 26, 2012, 3:27 AM
Moreover, Samsung has its Exynos family, which it plans to pair with LTE radios, Apple just came up with a custom A6 chip, NVIDIA bought Icera to integrate baseband modems in its Tegra chips, and ST-Ericsson already does that in several Sony models, so even the second-tier space is getting crowded.
Texas Instruments plans to expand the scope of its embedded solutions, looking to gain a foothold with car makers now, where it believes it will have much steadier long-term prospects..

No OMAP 5? ): Well that crushes my dreams of having an OMAP 5 in my Nexus. Looks like the next Nexus will have either Tegra 3s or S4 (Pro)s. Bummer.

I'd put my money on either of those two, next nexus I assume will have Exynos 5 dual core or S4 pro dual core, I don't see the point of them putting quad core

Why is apple mentioned? They don't make their own chips. That is done by Samsung (for the most part) and TSMC, if I remember their name right

Samsung manufactures their chips, but this time around Apple actually designed their own chip, instead of just rebranding an Exynos. It's just they had Samsung make it.

Yeah, but it was kind of hard convincing. I mean, it's a dual-core A-9 32nm chip, same as the Exynos 4212; uses the same manufacturing process (HKMG) as the Exynos 4212; it's even made by the same company for Gods sake. On paper, the A6 and Exynos 4212 seem VERY similar. But it seems as though Apple genuinely made it their own somehow.

You are making the same mistake remixfa makes: the manufacturing process (32 nm HKMG) does not have anything to do with a chip. You can manufactre a Snapdragon, a Tegra, an Exynos, an OMAP or an Atom with it. It´s the same that TSMC or GlobalFoundries do: send them your chip and they will produce it for you for a price. It´s just one of Samsung´s business lines:http://tinyurl.com/butku67 I´m not sure where you read it´s an A9, because it´s not. It´s something more similar to a Krait: a custom chip created by them, something completelly different than the A9 or A15 chips based on the ARM designs.

lol, you are still off your game a bit. You keep telling me Im the one making the mistake, yet you have no actual evidence to say otherwise. All TRUE evidence and history points to me being most likely right. Your "evidence" was a couple of articles that you took the wrong way. It is not anything like the Krait. It is not some "hybrid'. It is an A9 32nm HKG 44212 Exynos with minor modifications and a different GPU. Find me HARD proof that I'm wrong. Not an article based on conjecture by the same author that originally said it was an A15 of some sort without proof, and then the entire phone blogging sphere ran with it like it was true. Also, TSMC and GF do not use the same HKG process samsung does... which is much more advanced than the 28nm process used for the Krait chip line.

Well, you call not having actual evidence to show you links from reputated sites like Anantech, one of the most famous sites for chipset analysis while claming something about TRUE evidence. But the fact is what you have offered to back up your claim is 0, null, nothing, rien de rien. Just what you call history (and I never claimed you were wrong with the other chips, just with this one). But the truth is that all the articles I have read claim you are wrong and I´m right. And I read A LOT. One more coming from iFixit:http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown
"The manual layout of the ARM processors lends much credence to the rumor that Apple designed a custom processor of the same caliber as the all-new Cortex-A15, and it just might be the only manual layout in a chip to hit the market in several years."
Find at least one place that claims that the A6 has an A9 4212 Exynos chip please, cause your word alone, that´s really weak.
That the chip is fabricated with 32nm HKG by Samsung is well known fact and everyone knows that as Samsung fabricates the A6 chips. But as I have said several times "32nm HKG" is just a FABRICATION TECNOLOGY PROCESS of Samsung´s Foundry, so it does not back your claim at all. Check the next link for that:http://www.samsung.com/global/ business/semiconductor/foundry /process-technology/32-28nm

Again, you bring me speculation, not fact. You have yet to bring FACT. Until there is a FACT that says that they are breaking with history and current tech, it means jack squat. And I called Anandtech on their initial "its an A15" BS and won that argument. They retracted that statement pretty quickly. Anandtech is one of my favorite tech sites but even they get it wrong from time to time. You really think that a small little development budget like Apple's development gets, figured out how to get a huge head start on A15 development... while using their primary rival to manufacture these miraculous A15's??? All the while they beat samsung to mass market by MONTHS using samsung's factories??? And they figured out the LTE problem before Samsung did!?!?!?! All the while Samsung's development budget is like 300x larger than Apple's total research budget. That is a whole lot of salt to swallow in order to make it believable. Especially since there is still ZERO EVIDENCE OF ANY SUCH BS. I think you need to do less reading too much into what a reviewer is GUESSING on and stop daydreaming a bit. If someone was going to beat samsung to the A15 market, it sure as hell isnt going to be Apple. Qualcom maybe, but it will never be Apple. That is not their MO. You obviously dont understand the companies your trying to talk about. And just like that whole "A15 equivalent" bullshyt with Qualcomm.. that is nothing more than marketing and hype. It has nothing to do with reality. Its an exynos 4212 with minor chip mods and a different GPU. Deal with it.

I may only bring speculation, but it's the speculatin of very reputed sites. What do you bring to the disscussion? NOTHING but your own delusions, not even speculations. Why don't YOU bring FACTS? Because you can't even come up with what you dismiss as speculations. The only way to bring you facts would be Apple telling you they designed a new chip which they won't do, and at this point I doubt you'll belive them if they do... Let's see how is the score right now: TylerGrunter backed up by: Anandtech, iFixit and Lynley Group (chip market consultancy); and those by phonearena, gsmarena, engadget, techcrunch, wikipedia, and pretty much any other internet page. remixfa backed up by: no one. No links, no one supporting your A9 Exynos theory. Small Development budget for Apple? Over $500 millios! So yes, I belive they outdid Samsung this time.http://www.linleygroup.com/new
They didn't "figured out the LTE problem", if by that you mean to integrate LTE in their socket Snapdragon style. They are using the same solution the LG Optimus LG does with the S4 APQ8064 chipset or the Note II with Exynos 4412 chip: using an external LTE chip. They use the external Qualcomm MDM9615 LTE modem along with a Qualcomm RTR8600 Multi-band/mode RF transceiver. Don't you say you know so much about mobile chips? And yet you didn't know that?
Not to mention that the informaion is in the iFixit and Anantech links I already sent you...
iFixit step 7http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown ?num=4881 /Apple-A6-Teardown/10528/1
In fact, they use three versions of the baseband modem, Anadtech (for the A1428 "GSM", A1429 "GSM" and A1429 "CDMA"):http://www.anandtech.com/show/ 6295/why-the-iphone-5-lacks-simultaneous-voice-and-lte-or-evdo-svlte-svdo-support-
I don't read into what Anand or the others tell: I just read. They said it pretty clearly. And yes, it may be a guess, but it's the guess of the reputed sites against, well, just your personal opinion (it can't be rated even as a guess, more like a rant)
You say again and again that there is no evidence of the claim, but you can't give any evidence of your own theory. First try to prove your own theory about being an Exynos A9, then you can ask for FACTs when you give somehting.
And one more thing (pun inteded): it's obvious you don't know half as much as you think about mobile CPUs and SoCs. Deal with it.

I'm stubborn because I'm right way way way more often than I'm wrong.... especially on chips. You havent proved me wrong on this issue yet. You just have a belief that you are right without proof or history to back you up. You saw the word "custom" in an article and made it out to be something waaay more than it was.

sad. I don't like the monopoly of Qualcomm, every phone runs Snapdragon these days. Not that they suck, but that means less innovation in the chipsets. I hope Tegra 4 comes out soon along with Exynos 5.

Don´t expect too much. The GPU seems an Adreno 225/PowerVR 543 MP2 equivalent and the quad core seems to be between the Tegra and the Exynos ones. Not a bad one though.

The K3V2 scored higher than the Tegra, but lower than the S4. So it an beat an A-9 quad, but can't quite stack up to Krait. Certainly not bad, considering it's their first attempt at a chip (to my knowledge).

Exactly how I feel. I was also kind of disappointed they didn't make an A-9 quad this year, it probably would've been in the Razr (Maxx) HD. I wonder if they'll reconsider, or come back a few years down the road? It's doubtful, but eh.

New info apparently, http://www.gsmarena.com/clarif
Products with OMAP 5 are still on track and should be reaching consumers in early 2013. Though that still kills my dream about the Nexus with an OMAP 5, it's still nice to see TI isn't out of the game completely, but they are intimidated a bit by Qualcomm and Samsung. s_chipsets_omap_5_on_track-news-4866.php

Yeah, it seems as though the only Nexus not "confirmed" yet is the Motorola one, and since I don't like phablets I'm not getting the rumored HTC Nexus 5. So my only options are LG, Samsung, and Sony; none of which sound as appealing as the idea of a Motorola Nexus. I would wait for the A-15s to come out, but I don't think I can wait that long to get rid of my S2. I MIGHT be able to stick it out until about March, but I'll probably be mentally insane by then. If there really turns out to be no Motorola Nexus I'll just get the global Razr HD, closest thing to a Motorola Nexus I'll get.

yeah, that's how i feel too except i'm not hurting so bad with this Galaxy Nexus right now. i might would consider the HTC Nexus though if they did it right. i'd probably suck up whatever i didn't like about the HTC before i got an LG Nexus though and as for the Samsung, i'd consider it if it weren't supposed to be as low-end as it's shaping up to be. the Motorola Nexus is a day 1-er for me (if i can afford it! xD) if all of these Nexuses just fail too much though well that is if there are any then i MIGHT would get the bootloader unlocked Razr MAXX HD. there would be a tough battle going on in my head about whether i should get it or wait though but i'll probably be so impressed with it when i get my hands on it for the first time that it may not be as hard as i think it is now. really phones have crossed a threshold now that even if you didn't get the highest spec'd one out of the group but still got a pretty high spec'd one instead then you would still truly prosper enough to a degree for it to probably be worth the money especially since you're upping the value of what you have so you can sell it and bury it into something else easier. i'm thinking i've had this Razr for too long because it's not going to bury but probably about half of what i'd get if i got something during the holidays. it'd be even less later.

I would be better off with a Galaxy Nexus, I could definitely bear to wait a few more months. HTC's only real problem is Sense, and that will be gone with the Nexus. Battery life was a bit of a problem also, but I doubt HTC would put any less than a 2,000 mAh battery in their Nexus. Just that 5 inch display never really appealed to me, and unless they make the bezel so small that it's the same size as the One X, I'll pass. How is the Samsung Nexus shaping up to be low-end? Wasn't there a screenshot of a device with the Exynos 5 chip appearing in benchmarks that was claiming to be the Galaxy Nexus 2? I could be mistaken, but I'm sure I read it somewhere. Though I highly doubt its legitimacy, I don't think Samsung will put anything lower than a 4212 or an S4 in there. As soon as Google says "Motorola", "S4 Pro", and "Kevlar" in the same sentence I will be sold. Just, BOOM! Right there I will be throwing money at my monitor. If some of those words are not spoken, I will look at the Sony and the HTC if it's the same size as the One X with its 5 inch display (like I said before). But if none of those exist or appeal to me, I will go after the Razr HD. Those are my options now. If there's a Motorola Nexus with an S4 Pro, get that. If it has a regular S4, look at the Sony or HTC. If the HTC is too big and the Sony doesn't have anything over the Motorola, get the Motorola. If there is no Motorola Nexus this year, the HTC Nexus is too big, and the Sony only has a regular S4, get the Razr HD. That's my process lol

For people old enough to remember when school violence was a fist fight around the smoking barrel, reconciling the image of a place of learning with the mayhem that can occur there these days constitutes something of a reality check.
For people old enough to remember when school violence was a fist fight around the smoking barrel, reconciling the image of a place of learning with the mayhem that can occur there these days constitutes something of a reality check. The good news for parents and students, as for all of us interested in good schools, is that Lenoir County�s principals and system administrations are dealing with that reality with encouraging results.
The proof is in school violence statistics released recently by the N.C. Department of Public Instructions. In Lenoir County Schools, recorded incidents of crime and violence for the 2011-2012 school year dropped from the previous year � to 38, down from 49. The county system�s rate of 4.21 acts per 1,000 students compares very favorably to the state average of 7.63 per 1,000 students.
Lenoir County�s secret? It�s focused on the problem.
School officials credit the Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) initiative begun here five years ago with helping to lower the crime and violence rate. PBIS is as quick to teach, recognize and reward positive behavior as it is to punish rule breakers. Because the positive re-enforcement begins in elementary school, students have a solid idea of what�s expected of them by the time they reach the more troublesome middle school and high school years.
Of course, not every student gets the message. Despite a zero-tolerance policy on weapons, for instance, the system reported eight incidents of possession of a weapon and two of possession of a firearm. The silver lining is that�s 12 fewer than last year, but it obviously remains a primary concern is this day and age. So does drug possession, easily the largest area of offense at 18 and unchanged from the previous year.
It�s no secret that schools alone can�t ensure student success. Parents play the major role in that responsibility. School officials are, however, right in bringing problems to parents� attention and working to involve them in the student�s attendance and performance.
Working to reduce the dropout and suspension rates are is one of the best ways to reduce the on-campus crime rates. When parents are engaged and working with educators, there is a much less likelihood that a youngster will misbehave at a criminal level.
The challenges of keeping schools safe for student and educators are greater than ever and require continuous efforts on the part of the entire community. Lenoir County Schools appears to be making good progress with the most recent report on campus crime incidents.
We commend our local educators for their good work and encourage them to continue exploring ways to reduce the numbers ever further.

The Azure Code Samples are currently available in English
An example of how to use the JDBC to issue Hive queries from a Java client application.
The code in this project creates a new Hive table (external table,) and populates it with data from a sample table that is provided with the HDInsight cluster. Then it returns data from that table. Pretty basic.
How to use JDBC with HDInsight
JDBC connections to an HDInsight cluster on Azure are made over port 443, and the traffic is secured using SSL. The public gateway that the clusters sit behind redirects the traffic to the port that Hive is actually listening on. So a typical connection string would like like the following:
When establishing the connection, you have to specify the HDInsight cluster admin name and password. These authenticate the request to the gateway. For example:
Once the connection is established, it's just sending queries and waiting on Hive to respond:
sql = "SELECT querytime, market, deviceplatform, devicemodel, state, country from " + tableName + " LIMIT 3";
stmt2 = conn.createStatement();
System.out.println("\nRetrieving inserted data:");
res2 = stmt2.executeQuery(sql);
while (res2.next()) {
System.out.println( res2.getString(1) + "\t" + res2.getString(2) + "\t" + res2.getString(3) + "\t" + res2.getString(4) + "\t" + res2.getString(5) + "\t" + res2.getString(6));
To run this example
Install Java version 7 or higher. Oracle, OpenJDBC, etc.; I'm not sure it really matters. I built/tested with Oracle Java 7 and 8. The Hadoop cluster I tested with is Azure HDInsight 3.6
Install Maven.
Get an HDInsight cluster. This example expects a Linux-based HDInsight cluster, version 3.5 or 3.6.
Clone/fork the repository locally and change directories into it.
Build and run the project using the following Maven command:
mvn compile exec:java -Dexec.args="clustername clusteradmin clusterpassword"
- Replace clustername with the name of your HDInsight cluster
- Replace clusteradmin with the admin account name for your cluster
- Replace clusterpassword with the password for the admin account
Special note: If you are using PowerShell, you have to wrap the
-Dparameters in quotes. So it would be as follows:
mvn compile exec:java "-Dexec.args=""clustername clusteradmin clusterpassword"""
This will return the following:
Getting a description of the table:
querytime string
market string
deviceplatform string
devicemodel string
state string
country string
Inserting data into the table.
Retrieving inserted data:

16:43:41 en-US Android Droid X Utah
16:44:21 en-US Android Droid X Utah

The i.MX25 family of multimedia applications processors extends NXP's ARM9™ portfolio and makes the industrial and general embedded market a key focus of i.MX with the integration of many new features. Speed up to 400 MHz, low power consumption and multiple connectivity options support the growing needs of industrial and general embedded products, while allowing customers to reduce their overall system bill of materials cost.
For more information regarding i.MX25 processors, see the NXP product page:
NXP i.MX257
Often, devices are required in different performance and price classes. This is where Ka-Ro's TX standard comes into its own. With one single hardware design embedded engineers can produce a range of pin- and software-compatible products. Ka-Ro introduced the TX CoM standard over six years ago. Until today, the Ka-Ro Starter Kit V has served as the unchanged development environment for all Ka-Ro TX modules underlining Ka-Ro's long-term product and family strategy. All the TX modules can be used on the Starter Kit V which enables great scalability and flexibility.
The philosophy behind Ka-Ro's TX CoM family is to reduce a CoM down to the absolute minimum of components. In doing so, application designers and engineers using Ka-Ro CoMs can achieve maximum flexibility. Ka-Ro TX CoM modules solely feature the processor plus memory and the power supply. Any additional functions can be added to the base board.
This focus on CoMs with a minimum number of components is on the one hand the key to very competitive pricing, on the other hand it enables Ka-Ro to ensure long-term availability. While processor manufacturers like NXP offer a long-term availability of 10 to 15 years, this must also apply to any further components integrated onto a module or these must be available via second sourcing and without any necessary software alterations. If these components are integrated on a module, as is the case with many other manufacturers, this long-term availability is endangered, or – from right from the start – not possible to guarantee.

Fellowship in Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery at North Shore University Hospital & Long Island Jewish Medical Center (NS/LIJ)
Welcome to the Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. We are recognized as a national leader in the prevention and treatment of heart disease and thoracic diseases. Our department focuses on specialized and patient-focused care provided by talented and compassionate individuals in a team structure.
Our mission, like that of Northwell Health, is to deliver the highest quality of clinical care for our community regardless of ability to pay, to educate future generations of healthcare professionals and to actively participate in the search for new advances in medicine through biomedical research.
We boast one of the most experienced cardiac surgical teams in the Queens, Nassau and Suffolk area. We are host to the only accredited cardiothoracic residency on Long Island and one of only five in the New York metropolitan area.
Our focus on quality and progressive state-of-the-art surgical therapies has been consistent for many years. We have developed a team approach to the care of the cardiac and thoracic surgical patient that creates several multidisciplinary layers, promoting education, safety and compassionate care. We have worked diligently to be sure all members of the care team are imbued with the spirit of excellence, safety and pride in our mission.
Our surgeons and facilities have consistently achieved better than expected outcomes in coronary artery bypass surgery and valve surgery in the New York State Cardiac Surgery database. This remarkable achievement was achieved with the close cooperation of multiple teams of dedicated and highly competent individuals caring for an increasingly complex group of patients. It is emblematic of the steps we have taken to insure patient safety and satisfaction.
Please use the resources here to increase your understanding of our program and of the diseases and procedures that define the specialty of cardiothoracic surgery. The proud team of professionals that comprise the Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery look forward to training you to become a highly skilled and competent cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon, while serving our community and colleagues with precision, understanding and compassion.
Sincerely yours,
Alan R. Hartman, MD
Chairman, Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery
We offer advanced cardiac programs in areas including coronary artery disease, heart failure, structural heart disease and cardiac rehabilitation.
Program overview
The cardiothoracic faculty and staff at Northwell Health believe the best way to train cardiothoracic surgeons is through an integrated, hands-on approach with increasing levels of responsibility. This is why Northwell offers a two-year comprehensive, ACGME-accredited thoracic surgery residency program.
The program draws on the strength of the entire Northwell Health system, the third largest, non-profit, secular healthcare system in the nation. Northwell Health has more than 5 million New Yorkers in its service areas of Long Island, Queens, Manhattan and Staten Island.
Residents have the opportunity to train at three of the health system's campus locations—North Shore University Hospital, Long Island Jewish Medical Center and Southside Hospital. These three centers serve as advanced diagnostic and treatment centers for cardiovascular and thoracic disease.
The program offers an integrated experience in clinical cardiothoracic surgery, including pediatric cardiothoracic surgery, general thoracic surgery and adult cardiac surgery. Clinical decision-making in preoperative and postoperative care is increased during the two-year training period. During the first 12 months of training, ten months are allocated to general thoracic surgery and two months are designated to pediatric cardiac surgery. The second (senior) year is designated as adult cardiac surgical training. The educational program is designed to achieve:
- Mastery of the core curriculum as developed by the Thoracic Surgery Directors Association
- Successful preparation for standardized testing in thoracic surgery (Board examination and In-service training examinations)
- Appropriate preparation for the preoperative evaluation and postoperative management of patients undergoing adult and pediatric cardiothoracic surgical procedures
- An appropriate level of achievement in the technical performance of operative procedures included in the realm of cardiothoracic surgery, and attainment of sufficient operative experience as surgeon to allow entry to the Thoracic Surgery Board examinations at the conclusion of the training period
- Development of the core competencies as described by the ACGME
- Development of the clinical, analytical and technical skills required to perform cardiothoracic surgery independently
Rotation schedule
During the first twelve months of clinical rotations, the (junior) cardiothoracic resident is expected to concentrate his or her efforts on the development of core knowledge in general thoracic and cardiothoracic surgery. He or she will serve in the role of first assistant and primary surgeon in cardiothoracic surgical operative procedures under the supervision of an attending surgeon at all times. During the first ten months of training, the general thoracic rotation includes training in pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy, thoracic oncology, pulmonary diagnostic evaluations and in GI endoscopy. During the second six months, the junior resident should expect increased exposure to adult cardiac procedures. Two months are designated to training in congenital heart surgery.
Responsibility for operative procedures is assigned by the responsible attending surgeon and is graduated according to ability. The junior resident is administratively subordinate to the senior resident on the service and is expected to help in the preparation of M&M's, Tuesday and Thursday morning lectures, journal club, morning ward rounds, assistance in the instruction of general surgical residents, medical students and physician assistants rotating on the service, as well as take an equal share in coverage of the clinical service with the senior cardiothoracic resident.
The second calendar year of the residency is focused on adult cardiac surgery. During the first six months of the second year, the resident is exposed to cardiac catheterization and perfusion services and during the final six months is exposed to echocardiography. The senior resident is responsible for the presentation of mortality and morbidity conferences with his co-resident. The physician assistants help with gathering data for presentations. The senior resident in cardiothoracic surgery is administratively responsible for the assignment each day of personnel (surgical residents and physician's assistants) to the operating rooms. He/she is instructed to maximize his own educational experience to be certain that he/she has fulfilled the Board eligibility requirements as a trainee in terms of operative experience by the completion of his 24-month training. It is understood that the senior resident on the service may at any time choose to be present (either as assistant or operating surgeon) on any procedure, which will optimize his educational experience. The program director monitors the cases to insure that the residents receive a balanced and similar education.
Thoracic tract
The rotation schedule is adjusted to allow a greater exposure to general thoracic surgery for residents who wish to pursue the thoracic tract.
Daily responsibilities
Residents at both the junior and senior level are involved preoperatively in preparation of both inpatients and outpatients. They are required to be present during office hours (clinic) at least once per week and participate in the evaluation of preoperative data, patient evaluation and planning. They are required to log this activity. Similarly, inpatient workups are organized and directed by the cardiothoracic surgery resident. They are involved in the preoperative education of the patient and family and generate a formal consultation under the supervision of the attending surgeon. A formal plan of surgical intervention is discussed with the attending surgeon prior to the operative procedure. Decision making based on evidenced-based medicine and compassion are stressed at all levels. It is the duty of the cardiothoracic surgery resident to have an understanding of the patient's pathology and the plan of treatment. This includes collation and evaluation of all preoperative testing (with the assistance of the physician's assistant staff and general surgical house staff). It is understood that the attending surgeon is available to review the plan of therapy with the resident at any time.
The program requires each resident to maintain a concurrent log of operative and clinic activities. The web-based database is used for operative logging and each resident is asked to submit a case list at the completion of each quarter of training. Cases lists are reviewed with the program director quarterly and the resident is made aware of any deficiencies in operative experience so that they may be corrected in a timely fashion. Additionally, the cardiothoracic surgery office employs a full time data collection nurse whose job it is to maintain records for New York State and for hospital-wide quality assurance. These databases provide a backup source of information for residents since each case is logged with surgeon and assistant as well as patient identification, operative procedure, outcome and perioperative morbidity.
The volume of cardiothoracic procedures has increased over the last several years, particularly in the area of general thoracic surgery. This has intensified the trainees' exposure to thoracoscopic pulmonary and mediastinal procedures, tracheal procedures, chest wall procedures, airway and upper GI endoscopy and multimodality thoracic oncologic approaches. Catheter based interventions are increasing relative to surgical referrals for ischemic cardiac disease, such as thoracic endografting for aortic pathology (TEVAR) and percutaneous valve placement, which are currently being performed at our facilities. This has resulted in an increase in the number of referrals for patients with cardiac disease.
The Zucker School of Medicine conforms rigorously to the working hour and resident supervision requirements of New York State. This means that there is adherence to both the Bell Commission Regulations and ACGME requirements, including a maximum average 80-hour workweek and provision for adequate rest after extended hours. The average workday begins at 6am and concludes between 6 and 7pm. Weekends days are abbreviated since operative procedures are not booked electively on weekends. One day of rest is scheduled for each seven-day period. Cardiothoracic surgery residents are allowed to take calls from home and return to the hospital only for emergencies and for operative procedures. They are required to leave the hospital the next day if the work hour limits are exceeded.
Each faculty member evaluates each resident quarterly on a formalized evaluation document. The resident is required to evaluate each faculty with whom he/she has had exposure and to separately evaluate the quality of his training experience on each rotation. During the quarterly meeting with the program director, the resident is allowed to review his evaluations and comments. He/she is advised of any deficiencies and encouraged in areas of strength at that time. A formal memorandum of the meeting is entered into his/her file by the program director. Residents are encouraged to be forthright in their evaluations of faculty and rotations. There is a formal policy for redress if the resident feels his comments have resulted in prejudicial treatment by the faculty.
Department overview
The Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery at the Zucker School of Medicine is among the leading cardiothoracic care programs in New York. We offer patients a full range of surgical options, including minimally invasive and beating heart techniques for patient requiting valve or coronary artery surgery, as well as advanced minimally invasive techniques for surgery of the aorta, lung, mediastinum and esophagus. These techniques have become the standard of care here because they fit in so well with our philosophy of achieving optimal surgical repairs while preserving patients' quality of life.
Our surgeons have access to the latest technologies and facilities. In fact, we are now offering transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) using a percutaneous device for patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at high or extreme risk for surgical aortic valve replacement. To ensure the best outcomes for TAVR patients, the health system has opened hybrid operating rooms that combine the functionality of a traditional catheterization lab with a cardiac operating room. This technology allows interventionalists and surgeons to collaborate on the most complex cardiac cases, and exemplifies our commitment to the latest advances in cardiac care.
In addition to offering groundbreaking technology, our surgical program provides patients with the advantage of an onsite multi-disciplinary team of cardiologists, electrophysiologists, interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons, dietitians, physical therapists and social workers. This team often expands to include immediate care from on-site physicians from every medical specialty required. Our multidisciplinary approach and expertise has gained us the reputation of being the best prepared surgical practice to handle procedures that may be complex and/or complicated by underlying illness or age.
Our large volume, consisting of many complex and complicated procedures in all areas, assures that patients are receiving the best care possible from some of the most experienced and expertly skilled surgeons in the world.
Our surgeons are committed to studying and evaluating new methods of surgical treatment as well as improving surgical outcomes through clinical and laboratory research. Our staff is equally concerned with helping patients and their families through the anxious days before and after surgery. We meet with patients before surgery to explain the process, answer questions and provide take home information. During the surgery, an operating room nurse gives hourly updates so the family knows how the surgery is going. And after the surgery, we assign a nurse case manager who works with the patient and family during the hospitalization and serves as the point of contact once the patient leaves the hospital.

The first one writing about this new threat was Marco Giuliani. So, Murofet or Zeus++?
Taking a look at a couple of samples we were able to identify:
- Same API hooks
- Same encryption routine for configuration file (RC4)
- Pretty much the same configuration file format
Here you can take a look at a decrypted configuration file. It's possible to realize that it makes use of the same block-based structure of Zeus configuration files. Just like any other Zeus it has a block with id 0x214e (at offset 0x1c) where the version of the builder used to create the bot is stored (at offset 0x2c). In our case that is 18.104.22.168.
So what about calling it just Zeus 2.1 ?

About Gypsum
There's perhaps no other community in the entire valley that has evolved and grown as much as Gypsum has in recent years. Home to the Eagle County Regional Airport, Gypsum is not only easily accessible from just about anywhere, its ultra downvalley location also provides convenient access to Glenwood Springs and Aspen. Gypsum's motto is to "Live, Work, Play & Be Healthy." Its outdoor recreational amenities and affordability make it an easy motto for residents to live up to. The public Gypsum Creek Golf Course has also created a community hotspot just outside of town, where it's common to find locals soaking in the views from the beautiful deck at the clubhouse's restaurant, The Gypsum Creek Grill, on any summer afternoon. Like its neighbor Eagle to the east, Gypsum's lower elevation equates to fewer snow days. You could hit the slopes in Vail or Beaver Creek — a little more than 30 minutes away — and be home in time for an afternoon ride on your mountain bike or 9 holes at the Gypsum Creek Golf Club. The Gypsum Recreation Center underwent more facility upgrades in 2018 after just 11 years since it was built. The Rec Center is one of the town's most exciting hubs. It offers a gymnastics facility, basketball courts, a state-of-the-art fitness facility, a swimming pool that includes lap lanes as well as a lazy river and waterslide for the kids, yoga studio/fitness room, spinning classes and much more. Gypsum is also home to one of the valley's two public high schools, Eagle Valley High School. Historic single-family homes surround the immediate town center, while newer construction is available in several developments around Gypsum Creek and the airport. If value, accessibility and affordability aren't enough, the fact that Gypsum is home to a Costco helps it score even higher on the convenience scale.

In addition to full-featured monitoring programs we decided to offer you an interesting and useful product — hardware keyloggers. Its installation is faster and configuration is easier.
We will show you the possibilities of such devices on the example of two of them: Hardware Keylogger Basic Edition with 4 Mb of memory for connection to PS / 2 and USB. They look like this:
The essence of the devices is extremely simple: they are installed between the keyboard and the computer and retain in its memory all the keys pressed on the keyboard. These keyloggers have a built-in flash drive of 4 Mb (this is quite a lot for a purely text information — more than 2000 pages), but there are also models with multiple gigabytes of memory.
They can't be detected by a computer or anti-virus software, do not require drivers and work on any operating system. But let's take everything in turn…
This is the keylogger for USB-keyboard:
You can install it between the computer and the keyboard, and it will start recording everything that is typed on it without manifesting itself. And if you press a secret key combination the keylogger will be recognized by the system as a flash drive. This flash drive will have a text log file, a couple of configuration files and a simple program for easy reading of the log. Everything is simple and functional.
And now about PS/2-version of this keylogger. Let's open the box:
A pale purple device is a keylogger itself. It's also installed between the computer and the keyboard and records the log. The second device is white — this is an adapter for turning the keylogger into USB-flash drive. However, it is not necessary. You can read the data from it directly through the PS/2 without need to stop recording.
On the first picture the keylogger is working, on the second it is connected via an adapter to save the log or configure the device.
It's interesting that you do not need to turn off the computer to install these devices (also you don't need to turn it on) and the keyboard continues to work normally. When you start using such a keylogger you'll understand its main advantages immediately:
- It can be quickly installed and it's very difficult to detect (looks like an adapter)
- You don't need to be a computer user and know the password to install this device
- Keylogger will easily capture BIOS password, code TrueCrypt pass phrase or password to log into the OS.
Despite some limitations of PS\2 the device has an interesting interface for viewing log files and settings. To activate it you need to open a text editor (such as Notepad in MS Windows or anything similar) and press preconfigured secret keys. Keylogger will show its command interface right in the Notepad.
From this interface you can turn on and turn off the keylogger, view the recorded log, clean it, find specified lines in it, pick out the addresses of websites and e-mail, change the secret key combination, as well as check an on-off counter of the device.

Hi - I'm writing an article for the BBC News website on workplace discrimination against atheists. I have seen a few stories on this site about people who felt excluded by their co-workers or even lost their job after expressing their beliefs. I would like to talk to people who have been through such an experience. You can contact me directly - my email is firstname.lastname@example.com - or share your stories in this forum.
Brian Wheeler
BBC News, Washington
**Moderator's note: After our initial message of caution to all of you we've had an opportunity to confirm that Mr. Wheeler is indeed who he says he is. Knowing this, we'd like to encourage everyone to please share their stories of discrimination in the workplace with Mr. Wheeler. We shouldn't let the opportunity of a BBC News reporter telling the world the story of very real anti-atheist discrimination pass by! He is on a deadline so you must contact him as soon as you're able to.
(Anyone interested in confirming the legitimacy of this Moderator's note may contact Nelson either on TA or by email.)**

NO, Michelob, just continue to drink the figurative kool aid of religion - whichever of the 1.000s of brands suits you. OR, read some history books on the pagan origins of Xianity. Up to especially the 4th century.
There's a book by James F. Welles Ph.D.The Story of Stupidity"subtitled,A History of Western Idiocy from the days of Greece to the Moment You Saw this Book. Both he and the book have my unqualified endorsement and it's a must-read for anyone, especially us atheists and most of all jesus freaks, the latter of which are just as disgusting and incredibly stupid as their brother-believers, Jews and Moslems.
I am aware of the pagan origins of Christmas, Easter, Lent, Pentacost... I am aware of how patron saints have taken the place of gods. I am aware that the current image we have of Jesus is based off a painting of Cesare Borgia who followed at least some Assyrian religious practices. I am aware of that much of the Jewish population has genetic roots in Russia. I am aware that ancient china had a monotheistic god that began to lose foothold about 10,000 years ago.
You say there is no black swan, but how can you know? I don't know. I doubt the existence at times, but I can admit that I don't know.
Hi Michelob, I happen to own an albino black sheep that I would let you have for, say $5,000.00.
Is it anything like the albino black bear? I don't think I will buy it from you. I would just turn it into a very expensive steak!
@ Niall - Maybe you are better off not having a patient with a relative like that?
Niali, You are the victim of a Xianut troll. You have my sympathy. I have been 'defriended' by people I've known for forty plus years when they learned that I do not worship the late J.C. - if he did indeed ever exist.
There are those "friends" without whom one is better off in the end.
Why is also are we not putting any responsibility on the employer without a backbone? I agree, the relative is a troll, but Niall currently works for a company who does not stand behind their people. It is one thing for a person to rock the boat unnecessarily, but don't forget about the flip-flopping organization that accommodates the bad behavior.
For the first time in my life I have a job that completely accepts me for who I am and what I do and do not believe. I have even posted my Pastafarian Certificate of Ordination in my classroom, framed. My boss has needled me a little about it, but has not asked me to remove it.

Zoning and permit issues are commonly used as a tool of local governments when seeking a method to attack SM groups and businesses. Typical "crimes" such as indecent exposure, lewd conduct, and the like are subject to interpretation by the police, prosecutor, and courts. Successful prosecution is
certainly possible but not guaranteed. Zoning and permit violations tend to be very cut and dry comparatively. For this reason, administrative issues are frequently used as tools to either move or shut down SM activities.
It is important for our community to have an understanding of these administrative rules in order to safely organize and maintain SM activities and functions. Zoning and permits vary greatly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. This discussion will attempt address these issues in a general, overview
fashion. The attendees will benefit from the experiences of the panelists who have all dealt with legal and/or scene?related administrative issues.
There are numerous licensing, zoning, and permit requirements at all levels of government ? federal, state, regional, county and city. It's not easy to determine what licenses and permits you'll need, but it's very important. You should thoroughly research this issue if your SM organization or business may come under the scrutiny of law enforcement or local authorities. If you ignore these issues, you may face expenses and hassles you hadn't anticipated, and certainly don't desire.
Administrative (zoning, permit, and license) requirements can affect where you locate your organization or business, limit or require some remodeling, whether or not you'll have to provide off? street parking, whether you can serve alcohol, whether you can charge admission at the door, etc. If requirements are too restrictive you might decide to avoid the hassle and move to another jurisdiction ? if you find one that has fewer restrictions. Each jurisdiction has its own system of licensing, zoning, and permits. Obviously, it's impossible to provide a comprehensive list of every permit and license in every jurisdiction, so we must address items in general.

Albert Moroni Shuler, Jr., 75, of Bristol and Eastpoint, FL, passed away May 29, 2012 in the loving arms of his family.
He was born July 27, 1936, to Albert Moroni Shuler,Sr. and Lillie Louise Durham in Calhoun County Florida. He was preceded in death by his parents and brother Troy Wayne Shuler.
He is survived by his wife, Patti Summers Shuler, and children Dawn Dumas of Canton, GA, Craig Shuler of Bristol, FL, Kim Maddox of Headland, AL, Bubby Shuler of Bristol, FL, Sandy Shuler of Newberry, SC, Sue Seymour of Perry, GA, Summerann Miller of Cruger, MS, and Ronie Shuler III of Tallahassee, FL; 20 grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his two brothers James E. "Pot" Shuler, of Bristol and Gary H. Shuler of Blountstown.
Named after his father, from an early age, his friends called him "Little Ronie." Like his father, he was an avid hunter and fisherman who had a true love for the outdoors. Above all, he loved his dogs. He spent his lifetime buying, breeding, and training the perfect pack of dogs for whichever animal he sought. His dogs had to look the best, sound the best, and hunt the best. He hunted deer and fox, but he had a special love for bear hunting. Ronie Shuler hunted in style.
In his later years, he developed a passion for unique chickens. He enjoyed all parts of raising his chickens. From finding that special breed to his green egg laying Americaunas.
He had two constant companions, his wife Patti and his special little dog "Puddin." They both remained by his side until he took his last breath.
Ronie had a spirit of adventure. In his lifetime, he was able to travel the world. A passionate historian, he would learn everything that he could about each destination before he traveled there. Not only did he have a great knowledge of the history of the world, but he was blessed to have been able to see much of it.
He attended Baylor Military Academy in Chattanooga, TN. His time at Baylor, greatly influenced the duration of his life. He left there prepared to earn a degree in Marketing at Florida State University, and go on to help build several businesses. Most notably Shuler Brothers.
He was a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
The family is indebted to family and friends and Covenant Hospice for the love shown during this critical time.
Visitation will be held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Bristol at 5:00 pm EST. Services will follow at the church. Burial will follow at Pine Memorial Cemetery in Blountstown, on Thursday, May 31. Family will greet friends following the service at the cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to your local Covenant Hospice or The University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital where he was treated for his pancreatic cancer.
