Try to build an empire by constantly exploring planets and mining their resources. Some of those uncanny and newly explored planets really seem to be quite lucrative according to our most recent scans...
... or become one of those filthy space pirates that attack other astronauts and engineers to steal their money. This might seem a bit unfair, but hey, it's not your fault that they don't protect their space stones better.

An Indoor Localisation System Based on Ubiquitous Technology
Indoor localisation systems are concerned with locating people or devices indoors without the support of GPS. A key challenge is to derive accurate location estimates. The thesis explores, and improves upon, the accuracy of two different signal strength based approaches. The final contribution is to reduce the effort needed to deploy an indoor localisation system via crowd sourcing.
MSc (Thesis Only) with Credit Information Science, University of Otago, 2011
Beacon - A Rapidly Deployable Cellphone Network
The thesis is an examination of the use of rapidly deployable cell-phone networks for disaster relief efforts. During a disaster, effective communications are vital to coordinate response efforts and to keep civilians informed. We propose and test a system that is aimed at use by civilians without the need for them to have any special equipment apart from a GSM mobile phone.

UE4 Integration 2.00
Some platforms require some extra steps to run properly.
To deploy on Android, make sure FMODStudio is in your game's directory, not in the Engine plugins directory. When FMODStudio is in your game's plugin directory, the engine will rebuild the plugin for Android and deploy all the files properly.
FMOD supports DSP plugins, which will be stand-alone .so files that will need to be packaged into the build. Add the .so file into the FMODStudio/Binaries/Android/{Architecture}
directory. Unreal will also need an APL file so it knows to package the .so file. To do this, you will need to write an APL file and drop it into the FMODStudio/Binaries/Android
directory. The FMODStudio.build.cs file looks for any file ending with __APL.xml_ and will pass that along to the unreal build tool for packaging.
The APL is a custom xml file format which is documented in the engine file AndroidPluginLanguage.cs. Here is a sample APL file for libovrfmod.so:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--Plugin additions-->
<root xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- init section is always evaluated once per architecture -->
<init>
<log text="ovrfmod APL init"/>
</init>
<!-- optional files or directories to copy to Intermediate/Android/APK -->
<resourceCopies>
<log text="ovrfmod APL copying files for $S(Architecture)/"/>
<copyFile src="$S(PluginDir)/$S(Architecture)/libovrfmod.so"
dst="$S(BuildDir)/libs/$S(Architecture)/libovrfmod.so" />
</resourceCopies>
<!-- optional libraries to load in GameActivity.java before libUE4.so -->
<soLoadLibrary>
<log text="ovrfmod APL adding loadLibrary references"/>
<loadLibrary name="ovrfmod" failmsg="ovrfmod not loaded and required!" />
</soLoadLibrary>
</root>
You only need to write this if you want to load a DSP plugin on Android.
To build for TVOS, make sure FMODStudio is in your game's directory and not in the Engine plugins directory.
To deploy on linux, you will need to rebuild the engine from source via github. For compiling linux from windows, see this page for instructions how to get up and running with UE4. Then, add in both the fmodstudio linux .zip and windows .zip on top of each other into the engine plugins directory.
The last thing you will need to do is to get the FMOD .so libraries into a directory that the executable can read them. The easiest way is to copy them from
<DeployedDir>\Engine\Plugins\FMODStudio\Binaries\Linux\x86_64
to
<DeployedDir>\<GameName>\Binaries\Linux
To see what directories the .so files can be located, look at LinuxToolChain.cs. Currently there are only a set of hard coded directories that are supported.
To enable FMOD Studio the use of any microphone input, including Kinect, on the Xbox One. The Engine ini file specific for the platform, located in '/Config/XboxOne/XboxOneEngine.ini', needs to have the following lines added:
[AppxManifest]
Package.Capabilities.mx:Capability[0].Name=kinectAudio
Package.Capabilities.mx:Capability[1].Name=kinectGamechat
Add the following to GetFilesToDeployOrStage in XboxOnePlatform.Automation.cs, before the end of the function:
// FMOD code start

}
else
{

}
if (FMODDLLPath != null)
{

FLUDROCORTISONE ACETATE - fludrocortisone acetate tablet
Physicians Total Care, Inc.
Fludrocortisone Acetate Tablets USP, 0.1 mg contain fludrocortisone acetate, a synthetic adrenocortical steroid possessing very potent mineralocorticoid properties and high glucocorticoid activity; it is used only for its mineralocorticoid effects. The chemical name for fludrocortisone acetate is 9-fluoro-11β, 17, 21-trihydroxypregn-4-ene-3, 20-dione 21-acetate; its structural formula is:
Fludrocortisone acetate tablets USP, 0.1 mg are available for oral administration as scored tablets providing 0.1 mg fludrocortisone acetate per tablet. Inactive ingredients: croscarmellose sodium NF, lactose monohydrate NF, magnesium stearate NF, and microcrystalline cellulose NF.
Corticosteroids are thought to act at least in part, by controlling the rate of synthesis of proteins. Although there are a number of instances in which the synthesis of specific proteins is known to be induced by corticosteroids, the links between the initial actions of the hormones and the final metabolic effects have not been completely elucidated.
The physiologic action of fludrocortisone acetate is similar to that of hydrocortisone. However, the effects of fludrocortisone acetate, particularly on electrolyte balance, but also on carbohydrate metabolism, are considerably heightened and prolonged. Mineralocorticoids act on the distal tubules of the kidney to enhance the reabsorption of sodium ions from the tubular fluid into the plasma; they increase the urinary excretion of both potassium and hydrogen ions. The consequence of these three primary effects together with similar actions on cation transport in other tissues appear to account for the entire spectrum of physiological activities that are characteristic of mineralocorticoids. In small oral doses, fludrocortisone acetate produces marked sodium retention and increased urinary potassium excretion. It also causes a rise in blood pressure, apparently because of these effects on electrolyte levels.
In larger doses, fludrocortisone acetate inhibits endogenous adrenal cortical secretion, thymic activity, and pituitary corticotropin excretion; promotes the deposition of liver glycogen; and, unless protein intake is adequate, induces negative nitrogen balance.
The approximate plasma half-life of fludrocortisone (fluorohydrocortisone) is 3.5 hours or more and the biological half-life is 18 to 36 hours.
Fludrocortisone acetate tablets USP, 0.1 mg are indicated as partial replacement therapy for primary and secondary adrenocortical insufficiency in Addison's disease and for the treatment of salt-losing adrenogenital syndrome.
Corticosteroids are contraindicated in patients with systemic fungal infections and in those with a history of possible or known hypersensitivity to these agents.

Corticosteroids may mask some signs of infection, and new infections may appear during their use. There may be decreased resistance and inability to localize infection when corticosteroids are used. If an infection occurs during fludrocortisone acetate therapy, it should be promptly controlled by suitable antimicorbial therapy.
Prolonged use of corticosteroids may produce posterior subcapsular cataracts, glaucoma with possible damage to the optic nerves, and may enhance the establishment of secondary ocular infections due to fungi or viruses.
Average and large doses of hydrocortisone or cortisone can cause elevation of blood pressure, salt and water retention, and increased excretion of potassium. These effects are less likely to occur with the synthetic derivatives except when used in large doses. However, since fludrocortisone acetate is a potent mineralocorticoid, both the dosage and salt intake should be carefully monitored in order to avoid the development of hypertension, edema or weight gain. Periodic checking of serum electrolyte levels is advisable during prolonged therapy; dietary salt restriction and potassium supplementation may be necessary. All corticosteroids increase calcium excretion.
Patients should not be vaccinated against smallpox while on corticosteroid therapy. Other immunization procedures should not be undertaken in patients who are on corticosteroids, especially on high dose, because of possible hazards of neurological complications and a lack of antibody response.
The use of fludrocortisone acetate in patients with active tuberculosis should be restricted to those cases of fulminating or disseminated tuberculosis in which the corticosteroid is used for the management of the disease in conjunction with an appropriate antituberculous regimen. If corticosteroids are indicated in patients with latent tuberculosis or tuberculin reactivity, close observation is necessary since reactivation of the disease may occur. During prolonged corticosteroid therapy these patients should receive chemoprophylaxis.
Children who are on immunosuppressant drugs are more susceptible to infections than healthy children. Chicken pox and measles, for example, can have a more serious or even fatal course in children on immunosuppressant corticosteroids. In such children, or in adults who have not had these diseases, particular care should be taken to avoid exposure. If exposed, therapy with variicella zoster immune globulin (VZIG) or pooled intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), as appropriate, may be indicated. If chicken pox develops, treatment with antiviral agents may be considered.
Adverse reactions to corticosteroids may be produced by too rapid withdrawal or by continued use of large doses.
To avoid drug-induced adrenal insufficiency, supportive dosage may be required in times of stress (such as trauma, surgery, or severe illness) both during treatment with fludrocortisone acetate and for a year afterwards.
There is an enhanced corticosteroid effect in patients with hypothyroidism and in those with cirrhosis.
Corticosteroids should be used cautiously in patients with ocular herpes simplex because of possible corneal perforation.
The lowest possible dose of corticosteroid should be used to control the condition being treated. A gradual reduction in dosage should be made when possible.
Psychic derangements may appear when corticosteroids are used. These may range from euphoria, insomnia, mood swings, personality changes, and severe depression to frank psychotic manifestations. Existing emotional instability or psychotic tendencies may also be aggravated by corticosteroids.
Aspirin should be used cautiously in conjunction with corticosteroids in patients with hypoprothrombinemia.
Corticosteroids should be used with caution in patients with nonspecific ulcerative colitis if there is a probability of impending perforation, abscess, or other pyogenic infection. Corticosteroids should also be used cautiously in patients with diverticulitis, fresh intestinal anastomoses, active or latent peptic ulcer, renal insufficiency, hypertension, osteoporosis, and myasthenia gravis.
Information for PatientsThe physician should advise the patient to report any medical history of heart disease, high blood pressure, or kidney or liver disease and to report current use of any medicines to determine if these medicines might interact adversely with fludrocortisone acetate (see Drug Interactions).
Patients who are on immunosuppressant doses of corticosteroids should be warned to avoid exposure to chicken pox or measles and, if exposed, to obtain medical advice.
The patient's understanding of his steroid-dependent status and increased dosage requirement under widely variable conditions of stress is vital. Advise the patient to carry medical identification indicating his dependence on steroid medication and, if necessary, instruct him to carry an adequate supply of medication for use in emergencies.
Stress to the patient the importance of regular follow-up visits to check his progress and the need to promptly notify the physician of dizziness, severe or continuing headaches, swelling of feet or lower legs, or unusual weight gain.
Advise the patient to use the medicine only as directed, to take a missed dose as soon a possible unless it is almost time for the next dose, and not to double the next dose.
Inform the patient to keep this medication and all drugs out of the reach of children.
Laboratory TestsPatients should be monitored regularly for blood pressure determinations and serum electrolyte determinations (see WARNINGS).
Drug InteractionsWhen administered concurrently, the following drugs may interact with adrenal corticosteroids.
Amphortericin B or potassium-depleting diuretics (benzothiadiazines and related drugs, ethacrynic acid and furosemide)—enhanced hypokalemia. Check serum potassium levels at frequent intervals; use potassium supplements if necessary (see WARNINGS).
Digitalis glycosides— enhanced possibility of arrhythmias or digitalis toxicity associated with hypokalemia. Monitor serum potassium levels; use potassium supplements if necessary.
Oral anticoagulants— decreased prothrombin time response. Monitor prothrombin levels and adjust anticoagulant dosage accordingly.
Antidiabetic drugs (oral agents and insulin)—diminished antidiabetic effect. Monitor for symptoms of hyperglycemia; adjust dosage of antidiabetic drug upward if necessary.
Aspirin— increased ulcerogenic effect; decreased pharmacologic effect of aspirin. Rarely salicylate toxicity may occur in patients who discontinue steroids after concurrent high-dose aspirin therapy. Monitor salicylate levels or the therapeutic effect for which aspirin is given; adjust salicylate dosage accordingly if effect is altered (see PRECAUTIONS, General).
Barbiturates, phenytoin, or rifampin— increased metabolic clearance of fludrocortisone acetate because of the induction of hepatic enzymes. Observe the patient for possible diminished effect of steroid and increase the steroid dosage accordingly.
Anabolic steroids (particularly C-17 alkylated androgens such as oxymetholone, methandrostenolone, norethandrolone, and similar compounds)— enhanced tendency toward edema. Use caution when giving these drugs together, especially in patients with hepatic or cardiac disease.
Vaccines— neurological complications and lack of antibody response (see WARNINGS).
Estrogen— increased levels of corticosteroid-binding globulin thereby increasing the bound (inactive) fraction; this effect is at least balanced by decreased metabolism of corticosteroids. When estrogen therapy is initiated, a reduction in corticosteroid dosage may be required, and increased amounts may be required when estrogen is terminated.
Drug/Laboratory Test InteractionsCorticosteroids may affect the nitrobluetetrazolium test for bacterial infection and produce false-negative results.
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of FertilityAdequate studies have not been performed in animals to determine whether fludrocortisone acetate has carcinogenic or mutagenic activity or whether it affects fertility in males or females.
Pregnancy: Teratogenic Effects: Category CAdequate animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with fludrocortisone acetate. However, many corticosteroids have been shown to be teratogenic in laboratory animals at low doses. Teratogenicity of these agents in man has not been demonstrated. It is not known whether fludrocortisone acetate can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Fludrocortisone acetate should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
Pregnancy: Nonteratogenic EffectsInfants born of mothers who have received substantial doses of fludrocortisone acetate during pregnancy should be carefully observed for signs of hypoadrenalism.
Maternal treatment with corticosteroids should be carefully documented in the infant's medical records to assist in follow up.
Nursing MothersCorticosteroids are found in the breast milk of lactating women receiving systemic therapy with these agents. Caution should be exercised when fludrocortisone acetate is administered to a nursing woman.
Pediatric UseSafety and effectiveness in children have not been established.
Growth and development of infants and children on prolonged corticosteroid therapy should be carefully observed.
Most adverse reactions are caused by the drug's mineralocorticoid activity (retention of sodium and water) and include hypertension, edema, cardiac enlargement, congestive heart failure, potassium loss, and hypokalemic alkalosis.
When fludrocortisone is used in the small dosages recommended, the glucocorticoid side effects often seen with cortisone and its derivatives are not usually a problem; however the following untoward effects should be kept in mind, particularly when fludrocortisone is used over a prolonged period of time or in conjunction with cortisone or a similar glucocorticoid.
Musculoskeletal—muscle weakness, steroid myopathy, loss of muscle mass, osteoporosis, vertebral compression fractures, aseptic necrosis of femoral and humeral heads, pathologic fracture of long bones, and spontaneous fractures.
Gastrointestinal—peptic ulcer with possible perforation and hemorrhage, pancreatitis, abdominal distention, and ulcerative esophagitis.
Dermatologic—impaired wound healing, thin fragile skin, bruising, petechiae and ecchymoses, facial erythema, increased sweating, subcutaneous fat atrophy, purpura, striae, hyperpigmentation of the skin and nails, hirsutism, acneiform eruptions and hives; reactions to skin tests may be suppressed.
Neurological— convulsions, increased intracranial pressure with papilledema (psuedotumor cerebri) usually after treatment, vertigo, headache, and severe mental disturbances.
Endocrine—menstrual irregularities; development of the cushingoid state; suppression of growth in children; secondary adrenocortical and pituitary unresponsiveness, particularly in times of stress (e.g., trauma, surgery, or illness); decreased carbohydrate tolerance; manifestations of latent diabetes mellitus; and increased requirements for insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents in diabetics.
Ophthalmic— posterior subcapsular cataracts, increased intraocular pressure, glaucoma, and exophthalmos.
Metabolic— hyperglycemia, glycosuria, and negative nitrogen balance due to protein catabolism.
Allergic Reactions— allergic skin rash, maculopapular rash, and urticaria.
Other adverse reactions that may occur following the administration of a corticosteroid are necrotizing angiitis, thrombophlebitis, aggravation or masking of infections, insomnia, syncopal episodes, and anaphylactoid reactions.
Development of hypertension, edema, hypokalemia, excessive increase in weight, and increase in heart size are signs of overdosage of fludrocortisone acetate. When these are noted, administration of drugs should be discontinued, after which the symptoms will usually subside within several days; subsequent treatment with fludrocortisone acetate should be with a reduced dose. Muscular weakness may develop due to excessive potassium loss and can be treated by administering a potassium supplement. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and serum electrolytes can help to prevent overdosage (see WARNINGS).
Dosage depends on the severity of the disease and the response of the patient. Patients should be continually monitored for signs that indicate dosage adjustment is necessary, such as remission or exacerbations of the disease and stress (surgery, infection, trauma)(see WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS, General).
Addison's DiseaseIn Addison's disease, the combination of fludrocortisone acetate tablets with a glucocorticoid such as hydrocortisone or cortisone provides substitution therapy approximating normal adrenal activity with minimal risks of unwanted effects.
The usual dose is 0.1 mg of fludrocortisone acetate tablets daily, although dosage ranging from 0.1 mg three times a week to 0.2 mg daily has been employed. In the event transient hypertension develops as a consequence of therapy, the dose should be reduced to 0.05 mg daily. Fludrocortisone acetate tablets are preferably administered in conjunction with cortisone (10 mg to 37.5 mg daily in divided doses) or hydrocortisone (10 mg to 30 mg daily in divided doses).
Salt-Losing Adrenogenital SyndromeThe recommended dosage for treating the salt-losing adrenogenital syndrome is 0.1 mg to 0.2 mg of fludrocortisone acetate tablets daily.

He has worked in IT for over 17 years and enjoys getting involved with anything related to Tech including Microsoft Azure, M365 and VMWare. He promotes and is a big believer in sharing knowledge, whether that is sharing knowledge face to face, documentation or online.
Imran believes that everyone can share their knowledge in many ways to benefit the community.
| Imran |
Imran has always had a passion for Tech as far back as he can remember, which led him pursuing his journey and achieving a BSc Honours degree in IT at the University of Leeds. Imran’s passion for sharing knowledge took him down the journey of starting a tech blog in the year 2008 and he has since published over 700 tech related articles from short IT fixes to step-by-step tutorials. He believes that a tech blog is a great way for a techie to hold a repository of their experience, and the feeling of being able to reach and share that knowledge with people from around the World is amazing.
He continues to share his experiences today at his blog cloudbuild.co.uk
Whilst remaining anonymous, Imran continued sharing his knowledge via his blog and eventually used social media such as twitter to automatically share what he published. Imran became more active within the Tech community towards the end of the year 2019, when he was surprised to discover a great tech community on Twitter.
People who had a massive passion for sharing knowledge and willing to help. He has since been active on Twitter and has met (virtually) hundreds of amazing people from around the world.
AzureCrazy.com After discovering a great tech community on Twitter, Imran had a light bulb moment to setup a website with the aim of connecting new and existing users of Microsoft Azure to this great community. The Azure Crazy website would give an insight to readers on how the experts started their Microsoft Azure journey and in turn help promote and grow the Azure community. Initially just an idea which Imran was not sure about pursuing, he reached out to a member of the Tech community, Gregor Suttie, who supported Imran and encouraged Imran to implement the idea.
Imran has also compiled a list of approximately 100 great Azure related blogs at Azure Blogs | AzureCrazy.com
Today, thanks to the tech community, the website has a number of written interviews from Microsoft Azure fans who have shared their experiences including Microsoft employees. The @AzureCrazy twitter account has over 1500 followers.
How to Build an Azure Community Imran had a great discussion with Microsoft MVP Mert Yeter on how to build an Azure Community, the importance of sharing knowledge, and how to get started with blogging.
Bradford Cloud User Group
Imran is a co-founder of the Bradford Cloud User Group which was launched during the Covid-19 Pandemic with co-founders Shabaz Daar and Mohammed Sajid. The aim of the group is to promote Tech in a town located in the UK named Bradford and assist those beginning their tech journey’s.
Initially camera shy, the group has also given Imran the opportunity to start speaking in public with his web cam switched on!! 😊
Since the groups launch, the user group has held several live sessions with the support of the tech community including sessions on Azure Stack, VMWare in Azure, Microsoft 365, AWS and more! The group also holds monthly podcast sessions and aims to locate and recognise those individuals who have made a difference including giving new speakers a platform to share their knowledge and boost their confidence.
The first Bradford Cloud User Group podcast announcement
The BradCug team were invited to the Azureish Live show. Our first interview as a team.
Imran enjoys studying to gain new certification and he also uses the opportunity to blog about what he learns. He has recently started to study and document automating workloads into Azure using Terraform, and has also purchased an Azure IOT development kit.
Other amazing stuff
Imran enjoys spending time with his family and travelling to new places. He enjoys playing Snooker from time to time (I’m not a professional before anyone asks!)
Happy to help, so please feel free to reach out.


We want a community who participate and is interested in the development and also want to participate in hackathons, we want to find like-minded people like us. Project ideas would be discussed by the community as a whole and work would be divided as to which caters to each person's interests. Projects would be made and published and appropriate credit would be given to the people according to the amount of work put in.

Abstract:This paper demonstrates and characterizes the Traveling-Wave Antenna Array (TWAA) as a Multioctave Planar Phased Arrays (MPPA) capable of efficient wide scan with low cross polarization. Three brassboard TWAA panels having 16×16 elements were fabricated and tested for wide-angle scan up to 60° off broadside over 2-12 GHz using a True-Time Delay (TTD) Beam Steering Network (BSN) in a corporate feed configuration. Fairly good performance was exhibited using conventional far-field antenna range tests in an anechoic chamber. The test data are in fair agreements with computer simulation data generated by The Ohio State University. This study appears to be the first time that an MPPA is demonstrated to be capable of multioctave bandwidth for efficient 60° scan in a fullfledged manner with convincing direct calibrated measurements and consistent with calculated data. The state-of-the-art, and some ambiguities and controversies, in this field of MPPAs are also reviewed with comments and clarifications.

This sample shows a WPF application built on top of the Microsoft ADO.NET Entity Framework. The application shows how the Entity Framework can be used in some common design patterns that promote testability and maintainability of code.
There is a 'useFakes' boolean flag located in the code behind App.xaml in the EmployeeTracker project that determines whether the application runs against Microsoft SQL Server using the Entity Framework or against in-memory fakes. When set to false the app will try and attach the MDF file located in the EntityFramework project to the local Microsoft SQL Server Express instance. This connection can be changed in the App.config file of the EmployeeTracker project.
The solution is made up of the following projects:
This project contains the business model.
The Department and Employee objects have some embedded logic that keeps navigation properties synchronized. Setting the Department property on an Employee results in that Employee being added to the Employees collection on the new Department and being removed from the Employees collection on the old Department. Similar logic applies if an Employee is added to or removed from the Employees collection on a Department. The same fixup approach is also implemented on the Manager/Reports relationship. This logic is not required when running against the Entity Framework using change tracking proxies as the proxies will perform this fix-up automatically but the logic is central to the business model and should remain in place when using Fakes or any other persistence mechanism.
There are a set of tests defined in the abstract class Tests\Model\Entities\FixupTestsBase.cs that test fix-up behavior. This class is derived from to run the same tests against the following versions of the business objects:
This project contains a set of interfaces for data retrieval and persistence using the Unit of Work and Repository pattern. The project includes an implementation for some of the interfaces that can be re-used with multiple data access approaches. The IEmployeeContext interface represents the underlying functionality required for data access and is implemented in the EntityFramework and Fakes projects.
This project contains the Entity Data Model (EmployeeModel.edmx) that maps between the database (Employee.mdf) and the business objects defined in the Model project. There is also a custom T4 template (ContextTemplate.tt) that is based on the default template but has entity generation removed as we are using the pre-defined business objects. The T4 template also adds the IEmployeeContext interface to the generated context.
The Entity Data Model includes a Model Defined Function (MDF) which calculates an Employee’s tenure. The Employee repository in the Common project has a private method for calculating tenure which is marked with an EdmFunction attribute. When running against the Entity Framework the MDF will be used instead of this method and evaluation will occur in the database. The method includes an implementation which is used when running against fakes.
This project contains in-memory versions of the data access components, these are primarily used for unit testing but the WPF application can also be run against these implementations. Also included is a class for instantiating a fake context that is pre-populated with a set of sample data.
This project is a user interface implemented in WPF using the Model-View-ViewModel pattern. The entry point for the application is in the code behind file for App.xaml where a UnitOfWork and repositories are constructed. When running against EF there is a connection string in App.config which controls access to the database. If you don't have a local Microsoft Sql Server Express instance available called .\SQLEXPRESS then you will need to update this connection.
This project contains unit tests for components in the other projects. When testing EF components a connection string in App.config is used. The database is not attached during testing so only the metadata sections of the connection string are used.

App Science® is our proprietary machine learning
platform that is transforming the advertising industry
with predictive business intelligence for today’s mobile
advertisers.
As the use of apps continues to grow and dominate the
digital space, people are using these apps for everything
from entertainment to education and from productivity to
photography, many of which are indicators of an
individual’s personal preferences. App Science® starts
with understanding that the apps people use and where
or when they use them gives us a clearer picture of their
identity, life stage and purchase patterns. It’s why we say,
“You are what you App”
In the past, marketers had little choice but to rely on
legacy media’s TV and radio ratings based on surveys,
booklets, and phone interviews to guide their hundreds of
billions of dollars in annual advertising budgets.
Remarkably, those TV ratings are based on surveys of
approximately only .08% of the U.S. adult population.
Imagine...asking 8 out of every 10,000 adults about their
media consumption habits to help shape the
understanding of the entire American consumer’s
complex identity, and persuading marketers to trust that
limited research with their hard earned advertising
dollars. From a market research perspective, it’s a very
limited view replete with research bias that is at best
inaccurate but for decades, the only viable solution.
Today...there is a better way.
Every day, hundreds of millions of American consumers
use their smartphones and tablets to watch, read,
communicate and learn through apps that help them
manage and enjoy their daily lives. Those daily
interactions provide billions upon billions of data points
that App Science® collects, dissects, and analyzes to
compare over time, identifying predictive data to provide
cutting edge business intelligence for today’s marketers.
Unlike the limited surveys of less than 1% of the
population, App Science® uses empirical research of more
than 250 Million unique devices to systematically analyze
granular data such as a person’s app ecosystem, location
history, preferred primetime, demographics, purchase
behavior, and others such as cultural affinities to mine for
correlations, better understand their identity, and predict
those customers most likely to respond to your ads.
Using Artificial Intelligence and the latest machine
learning technologies, App Science® is engineered to
constantly improve the targeting, delivery, and
performance of your ad campaigns. The insights App
Science® provides us means your ad campaigns are
optimized for peak performance...resulting in efficiencies
that lead to cost savings and a better ROI .


The charts show the recent past of your selected scales. To help you detect trends in the zig-zag of ups and downs you can choose to display the curves smoothed (this option only becomes available once there is enough data for smoothing).
Except for custom scales (for which you can freely choose the endpoints) higher are normally better than lower values. The axis on the top of the chart indicates the time and the date. You can pinch and zoom into the chart to get more accurate dates.
If the charts take too long to load, then you can speed up the process by reducing the number of displayed days. To do so, go to Settings ( ⋮ ) -> Performance -> Look back size.

Exclusive Sean Gregan Preston North End column: Three former clubs at the top and I’m backing PNE!
Three of the clubs I played for are first, second and third in the Championship table.
It’s West Bromwich Albion, Preston North End and Leeds United but all these years on I won’t try to take any credit!
Albion and Leeds have been in the Premier League, so North End’s need to get there is greater and nothing would give me more pleasure than to see them continue this strong form.
They had an excellent win over Huddersfield Town last Saturday, a side who had been going well since the Cowley brothers went in.
Huddersfield have plenty of players remaining from their couple of seasons in the Premier League, so every credit to PNE for rolling them over.
It was a strong, dominant display for much of the game and scoring an early goal proved important.
Jayden Stockley’s fourth-minute goal settled them down and allowed them to play with a good tempo and plenty of determination.
Old-timer Paul Gallagher continues to pull the strings and how important he remains to Preston. He has scored penalties two games running and his experience within the squad is something which cannot be underestimated.
It is three wins on the bounce now, which is a good run at any level.
If North End can go to Derby and Hull after the international break and put points on the board, it will set things up very nicely for the game against WBA in a couple of weeks time.
Albion look strong and obviously their position at the top of the table reflects that. They have got a strong squad and a sensible manager in Slaven Bilic.
But PNE are only two points behind them and wouldn’t it be great if the clash at Deepdale on December 2 is a top-of-the table affair?
Moving away from North End and on to the England scene, it was great to see Gareth Southgate’s side thrash Montenegro 7-0 on Thursday night.
The build-up to that game which saw England qualify for Euro 2020 was obviously dominated by the dust-up between Raheem Sterling and Joe Gomez.
What a fuss about nothing and I really didn’t see what Southgate was trying to achieve by leaving Sterling out for the game. If I had been dropped every time I had a disagreement or a bit of a scrap in training, I would barely have made it into double figures of games in my career.
A professional football environment is a competitive one, you are all trying to impress and there will be fall-outs with team-mates.
Would Southgate have left Sterling out if England had been playing Germany away in a qualifier? Being able to do it against Montenegro was pretty easy.
If I was Southgate, my concern would be the fact what happened has been reported chapter and verse, every word, every detail.
As manager, I would be looking to see who was leaking the information.

PDXbnb is an application that can be used as a data visualization tool.
A big thanks to Tom Slee for scrapping this data from Airbnb and providing it for common use. Airbnb is notoriously tight lipped when it comes to releasing its own data and we believe the people of Portland and those who want to visit should have access to it. You can find all the data, for Portland and multiple cities, here.
We compiled monthly .csv data that was scrapped from Airbnb from July 2016 to July 2017 (and excludes December 2016); listings with one or no reviews were excluded. Monthly averages by neighborhood was calculated for: accomodates, bedrooms, and price, and the total count by room type. The compiled data was converted into JSON and manually cleaned in order to have the data structure needed to upload to Firebase.

Susan Granger's review of "BOOK OF SHADOWS: BLAIR WITCH 2" (Artisan)
It's marketing vs. movie-making. Last weekend, the newest installment in this media phenomenon saturated 3000 screens in the U.S. and about 1000 screens overseas, almost double the normal amount for a wide-release movie. That generates a huge box-office tally but doesn't truly tell the tale. The original used the Internet to spread the fake-but-funky horror story about aspiring film students who vanished in Maryland's Black Hills. This time, it's saturation booking. Documentary film-maker Joe Berlinger begins with what's happened to Burkittsville, where a local entrepreneur and former mental patient (Jeffrey Donovan) guides hiking tours through the supposedly haunted woods to the utter frustration of the Sheriff (Lanny Flaherty), who bellows, "There is no goddamn Blair Witch!" Nevertheless, four intrepid campers take off: a preacher's daughter who fancies herself a white magic Wiccan (Erica Leershen), a Goth psychic (Kim Director), a cocky writer (Stephen Turner) who is determined to expose the Blair Witch as mass hysteria and his troubled, pregnant girl-friend (Tristen Skyler). The body count mounts as a competing tour crosses their path, along with sex, lies and endless videotaping, culminating in a Civil War-era factory. To evoke fear, Berlinger relies on standard slasher shocks, gore, nudity, and a guitar-metal soundtrack, all quite reminiscent of the "Scream" franchise. As a result, the characters are stock stereotypes, the dialogue's banal and there's no tension. On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2" is a thudding 2. Perhaps there really is a Blair Witch curse to wreak havoc on the third installment, a "prequel," being made by the co-directors Eduardo Sanchez and Daniel Myrick from the original, Orlando-based Haxan Films.

Adam Schiff cracking under ‘point of order’ pressure
by Cheryl K. ChumleyANALYSIS/OPINION:
Poor Adam Schiff.
The House Intelligence Committee chairman, in kicking off Day Two of impeachment hearings, was trying to maintain a show of law and order and professionalism and such and such — but Reps. Jim Jordan and Elise Stefanik kept interrupting him with calls for points of order.
It was like Day One all over again.
TOP STORIES
Nancy Pelosi goes for slam dunk -- and crashes to court
George Soros group asks Fox News to ban guest who claimed billionaire controls State Dept.
Franklin Graham calls on nation to pray for Trump as impeachment effort gains speed
This was Stefanik, Day One: “Mr. Chairman, before we hear from the witnesses, I have a parliamentary inquiry … Mr. Chairman, when can we anticipate a response to our November 9 letter requesting certain individual witnesses to be called.”
Schiff ducked and dodged, and answered that three of the witnesses requested by Republicans were scheduled to give testimony next week. But Stefanik wasn’t having any of it.
“Those were your witnesses, Mr. Chairman,” she said. “What about the additional six witnesses?”
Umm.
“Umm,” began Schiff.
Let the records reflect: Schiff replied “umm.”
Day Two opened with more of the rocking, rolling, hilarious same.
Schiff, after introducing Marie Yovanovitch, former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, and after reading what was supposed to be her impressive credentials — for the rapt undecideds among the watching, voting audience, you see — and after being torn a new one by Rep. Devin Nunes, who ticked off a list of ways, of many, many ways the Democrats have tipped their partisan, political, hateful hats in this impeachment process — well Schiff started to show signs of stress.
First came Stefanik with her “point of order” and call for clarification on the witness list.
Then came Jordan with his “point of order” — make that repeated “points of order.”
Schiff kept shutting him down. Schiff kept striking his gavel. And Jordan kept calling for “point of order.”
Never mind the search for high crimes and misdemeanors.
This is high political theater and drama at its best.
And into Schiff’s voice crept a little bit of tension; into his eyes, slipped a wider ring of white. Crack, crack, the facade of impeachment continues to crumble.

NeuroData's Graph DataBase
This page hosts animal connectomes produced using data from a multitude of labs, across model species, using different modalities. A 'connectome' is a specific, cell-to-cell mapping of axonal tracts between neurons, created from cellular data like electron microscopy. Animal models included are cat, fly, the macaque monkey, mouse, rat, and worm. Every graph is annotated with a source attribute that denotes its origin.
Graphs are provided by default in graphML format. This is the only format that supports iterable attributes.

Melt the butter in a large heavy saucepan and add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook gently for about 5 minutes until soft but not coloured. Pour in the wine and boil hard to reduce until the liquid has nearly evaporated.
Stir in the rice to coat. Add a ladleful of stock and simmer, stirring, until it has been mostly absorbed. Continue cooking and adding the stock, a ladleful at a time, until all the stock has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
The rice should be tender and creamy but still have some bite to it. Taste and season with salt and pepper and stir in the parmesan. Remove from the heat and cool completely.
Lightly whisk the egg and mix into the cold risotto. Take a couple of tablespoons of risotto and, with wet hands, spread it in the palm of one hand. Lay a basil leaf and cube of mozzarella on top of the risotto. Take another couple of tablespoons of risotto and place it over the mozzarella and basil to enclose them completely. Shape into a round cake, about 2.5cm/1in thick. Form the remaining risotto into an additional 3 cakes.
In a food processor, chop the dried bread into fine crumbs or use store-bought crumbs. Pour the bread crumbs into a shallow bowl and roll the risotto cakes in the bread crumbs until they are evenly covered. Heat the oil in a large heavy saucepan to about 180C/350F, or until a bread crumb dropped into the oil sizzles immediately. Fry the risotto cakes a few at a time about 2 minutes per side, until golden. Drain on kitchen paper, sprinkle with salt.
Serve immediately.

WHAT BECOMES OF THE BROKEN HEARTED? (M). (Polygram/Universal) Director: Ian Mune Stars: Temuera Morrison, Clint Ereura, Nancy Brunning, Pete Smith, Rena Owen, Edna Stirling, Tammy Davis, Julian Arahanga, Lawrence Makoare, Anaru Grant, Warwick Morehu Running time: 100 minutes.
One of New Zealand's most successful films, Once Were Warriors was a powerful, harrowing and unforgettable movie experience. It explored themes of cultural disintegration, and the destructive, pervasive machismo culture of a once proud warrior race now depressingly shaped by alcoholism, domestic violence, bar brawls and gang warfare. This eagerly anticipated sequel also taps into the double edged reality of contemporary New Zealand, but is somehow less impressive. Nonetheless, What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted? is still quite powerful and compelling.
Whereas the original focused on the abused Beth and her courageous struggle, this new film concentrates on the character of Jake (Temeura Morrison) and his path towards redemption. Morrison has a frightening and intense screen persona which dominates the screen. His volatile and unpredictable performance seems to explode off the screen, but he also manages to bring a touch of compassion to the role. Rena Owen brings dignity and intelligence to her smaller role as the long suffering Beth, and proves once again that she was the emotional core of the original.
When the film opens, Jake is alienated from his family. A bar brawl in the opening minutes reveals that he hasn't changed his violent ways. He is involved with Rita (Edna Stirling), the new woman in his life, but when she witnesses his unpredictable and violent rages, she shies away.  His son Sonny (Clint Eruera) wants revenge on the gangs, but Jake refuses to become involved.
Sonny joins forces with Nig's girl friend Tania (Nancy Brunning) and infiltrates a rival gang hoping to seek revenge. But things don't work out as planned, and Jake is forced to step into the breach and use his street brawling skills to save his son and finally begin the process of healing old family rifts.
Again written by Alan Duff, this sequel retreads some familiar themes, but it also pushes the material in new directions. The film has some very powerful and evocative scenes, but the final climax is marred by some excessive, Mad Max-like violence and carnage. Director Ian Mune, a veteran of New Zealand's film and theatre industry, has set the film in some of the sleaziest looking areas of Auckland, which gives the film a sense of gritty reality.
What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted? exposes a seedier view of contemporary urban New Zealand and its gang culture, but somehow its nihilistic vision occasionally lacks credibility. Many of the characters here also seem one dimensional and the drama ultimately lacks the depths and emotional pull of the original.

Key-Value Databases
Key-Value database is a term that defines several NoSQL databases with similar characteristics, but not all of them work the same way. Here I will explain some of these characteristics without going too deep on any specific feature.
If you want to know a little more about NoSQL in general, the distinction between them and relational databases, the CAP theorem, etc. I recommend reading a great book called NoSQL Distilled. This book covers initial concepts around NoSQL and is a good starting point.
What do you mean by key-value?
A key-value database is a database containing a structure to store data similarly to a Map or a Dictionary, where the structure holds a key, and this key is an identifier that points to a single record. Using a simple analogy, this structure is like a hotel reception. When you get to the hotel a key is handed to you, this key contains your room number and gives you the ability to go into the room. In possession of this key, we can always go straight to our room.
Taking this to the technical field we could think of it as a JSON:
{
"rooms": [
{"306": {"beds": 2, "tv": "LCD"}},
{"206": {"beds": 1, "tv": "LCD"}}
]
}
Ok, but where the database goes in?
If we got here you already understood how key-values work, even may have dealt with Maps or Dictionaries using any programming language, but you could be asking yourself, Where the hell all of this are related to databases?
Well, the answer is that is all related.
According to Oracle:
A database is an organized collection of structured information, or data, typically stored electronically in a computer system
Related to this definition we can point some software:
These are just 3 examples. This is not an exhausting list, if you want to know more implementations of key-value databases you can check this post.
Besides some of these databases are not exclusively key-value, all of them perform this role very well.
Key-Value databases can store data in two ways, In memory or Hybrid.
In-memory databases
A database configured to operate in-memory stores all of its information on the RAM. Everything in software engineering has tradeoffs and this situation is not an exception.
The main benefit of using in-memory storage is speed. Databases storing data exclusively in-memory don’t need to write on disk and memory access is faster than disk access so these are databases with great reading and writing performance.
When we talk about key-value databases the reading of data is even more optimized by the way data is stored. Using a structure similar to a HashMap, using the key we have direct access to the stored information, usually, for this operation, we have O(1) complexity what is optimal performance.
As we say there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch so there are also downsides to this approach.
Since all the data is in memory and RAM is volatile if there is any kind of failure like a power outage or any other the data could be entirely lost.
Another important aspect is the amount of memory available on servers. Usually, we have a lot less memory than disk storage, and memory is not that easy to scale. So, when using this kind of approach we get limited by the amount of memory available.
Hybrid Storage
These databases usually don’t work exclusively with disk storage. Focusing on the performance they commonly choose a hybrid approach. This works by storing all the information on disk but keeping some loaded for fast access.
What is or is not kept in memory depends on the database configuration and, usually, can be customized accordingly to each use case. It can be configured to keep only more recent records or more accessed records in memory.
Using this kind of storage we are not limited by memory anymore, having a lot more space to store data. Also, when using disk storage we don’t need to worry about data loss due to outages, if an outage happens the server can reload the data from disk to the memory based on his policies. The main downside of this approach is that when the use case doesn’t match the configured conditions the time to load the data from disk could be added to the operation.
Excluding specific use cases where you are willing to lose data, the hybrid approach is preferred. In the last couple of years, the price and performance of disk storage have increased, especially with the advent of SSD technologies, which makes the downsides of the hybrid approach get less and less compelling.
Modeling
If you already know relational databases you usually end up modeling the data at first and then you think on the queries after, as they are needed. It happens because on relational databases we have an infinity of ways of searching and fetching data, which does not happen on most NoSQL databases.
This fact is especially true to key-value databases. Its ideal model is when we can have previous knowledge of the key, without having to search for it. On most key-value databases, we cannot search for data on the stored value. To better understand let’s see an example. Imagine a library where you can always find a book if you know it’s bookcase and shelf.
{
"library": {
"A10:3": [
{
"title": "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix",
"author": "J.K. Rowling"
},
{
"title": "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone",
"author": "J.K. Rowling"
}
],
"A10:12": [
{
"title": "The Hobbit",
"author": "J.R.R. Tolkien"
},
{
"title": "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring",
"author": "J.R.R. Tolkien"
}
]
}
}
If we know the bookcase and the shelf we can locate all the Harry Potter books available. However, we cannot find on which shelf the books of J.R.R Tolkien are.
This shows us that using this kind of database we need to think carefully about the modeling of our data already thinking about how the data will be queried. We must define very well our keys since we must have the ability to easily find them.
Another important aspect of the modeling is the definition of the aggregate, but, since this is not a specific aspect of key-value databases it will not be explained in this post. If you want to know more about it you can read here.
When you should use it
As we have seen, key-value databases, in general, have an access pattern where you should know the key that leads you to your data. This access pattern creates situations where key-value databases are not the best fit.
Imagine listing products, but to list the products we would end up needing to fetch from the database each of the product details, this would be a good fit? It seems the combination of bad modeling and a use case that doesn’t match the database.
Commonly, this kind of database should be used to store data that fit as a unity, such as user session, user preferences, shopping carts, etc.
Obviously, it is relative to your business area and also your system modeling, in your system it may be for example that a product list would be associated with a specific key, but we need to be always aware of how we need to fetch the data and the database limitations.
Conclusion
Key-Value databases are powerful tools and won’t be I who will escape from the cliche of saying that with great power comes great responsibility. Working with this kind of database we need to evaluate carefully if this is the right choice for our use case, what kind of storage we are going to use, if it offers more than one if we know how our modeling will be, etc. Even with all the limitations, these databases provide great advantages in terms of performance and scalability, so if you still haven’t it is worth a try.

The PTT or Push To Talk service somehow never “caught” in Poland. It showed up a long time ago, but somehow I never saw it functional in any network here.
I always liked the idea of instantly transferring a voice message to another mobile number. I know you can do this via MMS but the HeyTell implementation shows PTT in a whole nicer way.
Because the application shows where you are (if you allow it), you can discover that a friend you are talking to is in fact in the same shopping center as you.
Available for both Android and iOS. I Highly recommend it.

Shining A Light on the NSA: Outdoor Projection at Room 641A, NSA Interception Site at 611 Folsom Street
San Francisco-On Tuesday February 11th at 6:00pm, Bay Area residents will join people all over the world outraged by revelations about National Security Agency and private corporations blanket electronic surveillance in The Day We Fight Back, a national online protest.
The San Francisco event will be at AT&T, 611 Folsom Street in San Francisco. The AT&T building houses an NSA interception room in Room 641A.
The convergence will feature giant projected visuals by the SF Projection Department, Bay Area Light Brigade human billboard signs, and a Stop Watching Us parachute. Speakers include Mark, Klein, a former AT&T technician who blew the whistle on the NSA facility in AT&T in 2006, and representatives from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, The Bill of Rights Defense Committee and Restore The Fourth - Bay Area. Music provided by Michael Rufo.
In January 2012 , proposed SOPA and PIPA censorship legislation was met with the largest Internet protest in history. A year ago this month one of that movement's leaders, Aaron Swartz, tragically passed away. Today we face a different threat, one that undermines the Internet, and the notion that any of us live in a genuinely free society: mass surveillance. If Aaron were alive, he'd be on the front lines, fighting against a world in which governments observe, collect, and analyze our every digital action. Now, on the anniversary of Aaron's passing, and in celebration of the win against SOPA and PIPA that he helped make possible, there is a new day of protest.
See more on Room 641A in this clip from the Keith Olbermann show on cable channel MS-NBC.
WHAT: Outdoor projection show and rally against mass surveillance
WHY: Ongoing unconstitutional activities by the National Security Administration
WHEN: Tuesday, February 11th at 6:00pm
WHO: Sponsored by The SF Projection Department, The Bill of Rights Defense Committee, Restore the Fourth Bay Area, the 99% Coalition and Media Alliance. With guest speakers whistleblower Mark Klein and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Lawyer Apologises For Disrespectful Language In Jacob Zuma’s Appeal Notice
by SG EditorPIETERMARITZBURG – Jacob Zuma’s lawyer Muzi Sikhakhane has apologised for the disrespectful language used in the former president’s appeal notice to the Pietermaritzburg High Court.
This comes as the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has requested from the court that Zuma should be financially penalised for the tone used in his court papers.
Sikhakhane has appeared in court on behalf of Zuma, who is applying for leave to appeal a High Court decision that dismissed his permanent stay of prosecution application.
Sikhakhane has, however, maintained that the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) may overturn the High Court’s decision and Zuma may eventually be granted a permanent stay of prosecution. Last month, he failed to have charges quashed by the Pietermaritzburg High Court.
Zuma faces charges of fraud, corruption and racketeering linked to the multibillion-rand arms deal.
He had previously argued in court that the case against him was concocted by his political enemies.
