WWDC 2015 : Apple announces newest Mac version – OS X El Capitan
Apple announces the latest version of its Mac operating system: OS X El Capitan alongwith host of other announcements
Apple announces a revamped version of its Spotlight search software that will be included in OS X "El Capitan"
Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference had kick off meeting in San Francisco this morning with a keynote talk at 10am PST. Surprisingly, Apple has skipped the usual round of business updates and went right for the big news. Following months of speculation and rumor mongering, the California firm has formally unveiled the next major version of the Mac operating system. It's called OS X 10.11 El Capitan.
OS X 10.11 has new gestures like the shaking gesture to show the mouse pointer and more.
Apple senior vice president Craig Federighi began by demonstrating a few nifty gestures in Mail, including Mailbox-style swiping to delete or mark as new. Then he moved on to Safari, showing how users will be able to pin tabs within the browser, giving them a dedicated slot at the left side of the interface and pre-loading them when the browser is re-opened. He took the stage to debut the update, focusing on upgrades to Spotlight, the operating system's built-in apps, and window management features.
Moving on to more nifty features, he demonstrated how Spotlight has been updated with natural language processing. You'll be able to search for things like "Show me all mail from John that I've ignored" and it'll parse your sentence to show you the correct content in apps on your Mac.
El Capitan also picks up some windows management features that might look familiar to Windows users. For example, you can now snap windows to either side of the screen directly in Mission Control, similar to Windows 7, which provides a great way to work split-screen. Also, if you drag a window past the top of the screen, it takes it immediately to the full screen and if you drag another window on top of it, you've just created a split-screen environment.
Federighi surprised the audience with an announcement that the Metal API, which allows for faster graphics performance on iOS devices, will be brought to OS X. Apple claims that it'll bring 10x gains to rendering performance on the desktop leading to better battery life, and brought Epic Games on stage to explain the advantages of lower-level graphics programming.
Apple has got some major support coming for Metal on OS X, with 2K Games, Blizzard, Unreal, and Unity integrating the API into their rendering engines.
Mac OS X 10.11 follows last year's 'Yosemite' release, which brought the look of iOS 7 and 8 to the desktop as well as close integration with the iPhone and iPad with features like "Handoff" and "Continuity."
OS X El Capitan is available to developers starting today. A public beta will be unveiled in the month of July for members of Apple's Public Beta program. The El Capitan will be rolling out to Mac users as free update this fall.

The actor sits in a chair and recites this play, which takes about 90 minutes. It is one of Mr. Burns longer plays. There are different versions if you care to look them up, or maybe unlike me, you have already done so.
I have just made the discovery that this is an extremely well known poem. There has been an overture named after this poem. There has been a hat named after this poem. More recently, there has been an adaptation of this poem by a British heavy metal band. Readers of history, painters and builders have made use of this poem. The poem even mentions Cutty Sark, though not in the way I know Cutty Sark. (It means "short shirt", not hard liquor). My point is, I have had a sort of narrow-mindedness due to a lack of knowledge in certain areas.
My father was a well read man. As a former Burlesque comedian, Eddie probably used satire in his sketches. At the time, satire was used to ridicule dignified works. That the audience had a high degree of literacy was taken for granted, therefore the actor had to know his business. Eddie read, he studied. He prepared himself. He did the work. He was an Actor, period. He acted in plays, period. My vision of life and my mind is expanding, thanks to my father.
It has to be very freeing to simply decide what you want to do and proceed to do it. Sounds simple. I tended to proceed out of necessity most of my life. The need and desire for additional life knowledge is providing me the impetus to continue going forward with this project. It is absolutely stimulating. Thanks for stopping by. Do come back.


Grogan & Webb have a strong focus on providing proper legal advice for the small business owner.
When the New South Wales Law Society introduced the accreditation of specialist lawyers in certain fields "business law" was one of the areas of law selected and Lewis Webb, one of the first business law specialists accredited. We also own and run a small business and are well aware of the needs of our clients on a day to day basis. Our long experience also enables us to explore a range of solutions to the problems of a small business owner. Using the correct vehicle to establish a business is most important. From establishing or buying a business, leasing or purchasing commercial premises, employment of staff, and ensuring correct documentation Grogan & Webb can be trusted to provide the proper advice.
The common types of Goodwill sought by a Purchaser are "location Goodwill" and "personal Goodwill".
Certainly when a Business is sold the Business Name is almost always transferred to the Purchaser. These procedures were previously arranged by way of transfer documents which were prepared, signed and lodged at the relevant government department.
When preparing a Business for sale there are a number of initial matters which need to be determined to ensure that the sale can be properly and effectively documented.
Guarantees are required where the lender is seeking security over real estate and one of the borrowers is not the owner of the real estate.
When goods are supplied to a customer before a supplier has received payment the supplier usually confirms in its trading terms that it retains title to those goods until payment has been made. This is in line with usual commercial practice and is called a "retention of title" or "Romalpa" clause.

Q: Mapping Untyped Lisp data into a typed binary format for use in compiled functions Background: I'm writing a toy Lisp (Scheme) interpreter in Haskell. I'm at the point where I would like to be able to compile code using LLVM.  I've spent a couple days dreaming up various ways of feeding untyped Lisp values into compiled functions that expect to know the format of the data coming at them.  It occurs to me that I am not the first person to need to solve this problem.
Question: What are some historically successful ways of mapping untyped data into an efficient binary format.
Addendum: In point of fact, I do know which of about a dozen different types the data is, I just don't know which one might be sent to the function at compile time.  The function itself needs a way to determine what it got.

A: Do you mean, "I just don't know which [type] might be sent to the function at runtime"? It's not that the data isn't typed; certainly 1 and '() have different types. Rather, the data is not statically typed, i.e., it's not known at compile time what the type of a given variable will be. This is called dynamic typing.
You're right that you're not the first person to need to solve this problem. The canonical solution is to tag each runtime value with its type. For example, if you have a dozen types, number them like so:

*

*0 = integer

*1 = cons pair

*2 = vector

*etc.

Once you've done this, reserve the first four bits of each word for the tag. Then, every time two objects get passed in to +, first you perform a simple bit mask to verify that both objects' first four bits are 0b0000, i.e., that they are both integers. If they are not, you jump to an error message; otherwise, you proceed with the addition, and make sure that the result is also tagged accordingly.
This technique essentially makes each runtime value a manually-tagged union, which should be familiar to you if you've used C. In fact, it's also just like a Haskell data type, except that in Haskell the taggedness is much more abstract.
I'm guessing that you're familiar with pointers if you're trying to write a Scheme compiler. To avoid limiting your usable memory space, it may be more sensical to use the bottom (least significant) four bits, rather than the top ones. Better yet, because aligned dword pointers already have three meaningless bits at the bottom, you can simply co-opt those bits for your tag, as long as you dereference the actual address, rather than the tagged one.
Does that help?

A: Your default solution should be a simple tagged union. If you want to narrow your typing down to more specific types, you can do it - but it won't be that "toy" any more. A thing to look at is called abstract interpretation.
There are few successful implementations of such an optimisation, with V8 being probably the most widespread. In the Scheme world, the most aggressively optimising implementation is Stalin.

Beautiful skin starts from the inside out. A dewy, smooth, firm complexion is a reflection of overall health and well-being. Stress, hormonal imbalances, and the normal aging process can wreak havoc on the skin; sun damage, smoking, and chemicals only further escalate these problems. Only the best, medical-grade skin care can restore a healthy, youthful appearance. That is where Skin Medica and Mirror Mirror can help.
Skin Medica is a medical-grade skincare line, developed by a group of dedicated cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists. The theory behind their product line revolves around the skin's natural healing and restructuring abilities. Through Skin Medica's tireless research and innovation, their products are the most effective on the market today.
Is there really a difference between drugstore products and medical grade skincare? The answer is yes. Physician-quality products are created through extensive research. Part of each sale goes back to further product testing, while drugstore products invest the majority of their money on marketing schemes and packaging. Medical grade skincare avoids unnecessary ingredients, as well. Quite often, over the counter lines add coloring and scents to increase their appeal. The bottom line: the added expense of medical-grade skincare means more effective products for increasingly beautiful skin.
Skin Medica's products are centered on the philosophy of G.R.A.S.S. Through the use of five key components, the line will provide a dramatic improvement in the skin's texture, firmness, elasticity, and brightness. Every face wash, repair cream, moisturizer, peel, and sunscreen is comprised of these essential ingredients for healing and soothing the skin.
Skin Medica products provide the best results when used under the direction of an experienced skincare professional. Taking into account factors such as skin tone, age, and sun damage, the experts at Mirror Mirror will help each patient determine the right combination of products to meet their skin's unique needs.

Q: What is imgMain control in visual Basic 6? I'm using a VB6 application as a reference and have come across imgMain. I'm assuming its an image control, however, I cannot find the object on any of the forms. It's used to load the image. I'm just not sure what's going on with this. I'm assuming its an IMAGE CONTROL, but I cannot find this on any of the forms? it's mentioned a lot of times in teh application as it lets you view incoming faxes and stuff.

A: Without having a look on source code i assume It might be custom user control that was created for some reasons probably to extend basic picturebox control.
One thing i can advise you is to further inspect code and dig to code of this custom control. If code for this control is not available then see what methods and properties instances of that particular control uses and compare them with regular picturebox.

P is for Petra. No, not that Petra...I'm talking the Immortal "patron" of Karameikos, Queen Petra of Krakatos.
[I was going to write about Penhaligon, but in the end decided since the city doesn't even appear on the B/X map, it wasn't all that important. Besides, folks who really want to adhere to GAZ1 can find a lot of info on that town in B11: King's Festival and (especially) B12: Queen's Harvest. There's actually quite a bit of interesting juiciness in the latter adventure, though buried under flawed execution]
Allow me to revisit the "Song of Halav" one more time: the story of Traladara's misty past (as their legends paint it), is one of invasion by "beast-men" (gnolls; not the Warhammer variety). Three great heroes arise to meet the threat: King Halav, Queen Petra, and the mysterious Zirchev. At the final battle, King Halav managed to slay the Beast King in single combat but was slain himself. His companions (Petra and Zirchev) returned to Halav's home city of Lavv (whose ruins lie hidden beneath present day Kelvin) and ritually burned his body, whereupon all three heroes were spirited away by the Immortals...they will return again in Karameikos's greatest hour of need.
Some fan's Petra
Okay, that's all clear right? Here's the GAZ1 "true history." Petra was a high level cleric and queen of (ancient) Krakatos, south of Lavv. Widowed early during the gnoll wars, she joined with Halav and Zirchev to aid in repelling the monsters. Halav was slain by the gnoll war chief, but Petra later cast raise dead fully (the BECMI equivalent of the resurrection spell), and the three companions set off on separate Paths to Immortality (as per the BECMI Master set), eventually achieving their goals and becoming individual Immortals...and presumably venturing off to have 5th dimension adventures of the type described in Mentzer's Immortal rules.
[what else is new?]
The Immortal set was (hell, it is) an extremely interesting rule set, and a very different way of looking at high level play. I'm not against high level D&D characters seeking a path to immortality...my own AD&D character did the same "back in the day" (using the system provided in Deities & Demigods)...and isn't that kind of what lichdom is all about? But I think any player character that manages to achieve immortality (in any way, shape, or form) should probably be retired from play. The adventures of an immortal character (especially a demigod!) is really outside the scope of the D&D game as originally conceived. Really.
So, interesting or not, I'm really NOT a fan of BECMI's Immortal rules as an extension of D&D play (and this is true of the 1992 re-boot system Wrath of the Immortals). When I see its systems written into gazetteer backgrounds/history, my immediate reaction tends to be negative.
That being said, I'm not a huge fan of Petra as a secondary, female hero in the national epic. Why is she there, really? I'm not saying heroes don't have supporting casts, but the secondary characters tend to get written out of histories (or forgotten) when they don't do anything noteworthy. I suppose she's present to accept some of the "secrets of the Immortals" (*gag*) but other than that, she doesn't do much in the Song of Halav. Helps carry Halav's body back to Lavv for ritual burning is all. Surely, a high level cleric (high enough to cast raise dead fully, and a queen in her own right) would have merited more than an honorable mention.
Personally, since I've already decided I kind of hate everything Hutaaka, I'd re-write the Song...and the "true history" of Karameikos...quite a bit, in order to make it more B/X friendly. Here's how:
First cut all the capital-I Immortal stuff from the GAZ. I sincerely doubt that anyone is still using the WotI system (let alone the original Immortal box set) as a standard part of their D&D mechanics. If you are...um...I guess, you can stop reading and move on to tomorrow's (B/X) post.
Next, assuming I want to retain an indigenous Traladaran people (who will not be devolved Nithians), I would remake Petra as the Traladaran goddess-mother from whom all good things come. A kind of Athena-like figure, she shows up with a bronze helmet, spear, and shield. It was Petra, through her divine oracle Lucor, who provided King Halav with the tidings of the coming beast man horde, and who counseled the Bronze Age warrior to take up his sword and organize/unite the Traladaran people.
Oh, wait...who's Lucor you ask? Well, per Dave Cook's module B6, Lucor was "a legendary local cleric" whose annual Festival takes the form of a Procession in his honor through the streets of Specularum, culminating in the cleric's statue being "floated out to sea." Each year the Procession of Lucor is led by "a woman of notable rank and importance," who I would suggest acts as a stand-in for the goddess Petra herself, symbolically showing the way for her ancient priest.
[GAZ1 mentions Lucor and the Festival of Lucor only once, by the way: in saying that you can find more detail of both in module B6. Um, okay]
My version of Petra
Using Petra as the indigenous figure of worship gives a little more "bite" to the religious struggle between the Church of Thyatis and Church of Traladara, which are otherwise...um...kind of the same thing? It gives an opportunity to perhaps discover and recover (or loot) ancient shrines to this Bronze Age deity...as an "earth mother" type goddess, perhaps her oldest temples were subterranean caverns (i.e. dungeons) whose entrances in the deepest, darkest forests of the region were forgotten centuries before, when her shamans/druids/priests were run off and slain by marauding invaders (gnolls and, later, Thyatians). Of course, it goes without saying that Petra makes a potential goddess for clerics of Traladaran ancestry...or even Thyatians who have been "dream touched" by the goddess while living in her murky forests.
Perhaps, too, Petra has a shadowy and/or diabolic counterpart, traditionally worshipped by outcasts, miscreants, and sociopaths...a kind of "dark woodsman" lurking in places where unspeakable acts of murder, torture, and cannibalism took place. Something like a manitou or wendigo, but far more powerful. A vampire of the natural world? Possibly.
But regardless, do Petra justice and make her a larger character in this drama. Make her a real "immortal;" make her a deity. Have her be the Lady of Avalon to Halav's Arthur. Besides, it's not like Bronze Age clerics could raise dead, anyway.

Period Bakelite cigarette case with a checkered pattern on the lid. It has a really great look with a slight curved, hip flask like, design. Inside is the coat of arms for Berlin: a bear and a crown, but no other markings. The crest looks like a weird mixture of the lesser coat of arms circa 1883 from 1883 and the crest that came out in 1935. It is in overall good condition with light wear. It measures about 3 7/8" by 3".


Voice commands on your mobile phones with TLC, TLC Plus, and Guardian BT!
Press "##4" to use voice commands on the mobile phone that's paired on outside line 4.
Your mobile phone may respond with a beep or other audible signal, or it may talk to you. For instance, it may ask, "What do you want to do?"
Most mobile phones that support voice commands support the "call" command, so you can say, "Call John Smith". Most also allow you to append the type of phone number, and say, "Call John Smith, mobile". Remember that your mobile phone uses its phone book, not Tel-Lynx's phone book, for the voice dialing command. Some mobile phones have additional voice commands, such as commands for reading and sending text messages. And iPhones have Siri, which provides even more commands.
Mobile phones vary as to how well they recognize your voice and as to which voice commands are available. Most smart phones use a data connection to send your voice command to an internet-based server that does the actual voice recognition and sends the result back to the phone. This method usually works well.
Many non-smart phones either do not support voice commands or do a poor job of it. Even the best voice recognition systems have difficulty with some names. Your results will vary depending on your mobile phone's capabilities and the names in your mobile phone's phone book.


Toxic's got 99 problems and Gun ain't one.
This was an ok read. Not too much thrilling for a thriller. Interesting cultural facts about Iceland, but that's about the highlight of it. Toxic is a hitman on the run from a hit gone bad and through a series of unfortunate events, ends up in Iceland. Fish out of water on the rocks. From that point on he faces one existential crisis after another. Pretty bland stuff. I won't be rushing out to grab anything else by Mr. Helgason.


Here in the Fundraising and Communications team we have had a few calls about whether people can still donate Christmas Shoeboxes this year even though we have launched another Christmas appeal for 2018 (see 'Sheets not Streets').
Our Christmas appeals are all about making young people feel special and whether you are donating bedding and sheets to them to help make their new accommodation a little more homely or donating a few sweets or little novelty gift items, it all helps remind them that their local communities are thinking of them at Christmas time - thank you!
1. Fill a shoe box wrapped in gift paper or a medium sized gift bag with treats and other stocking fillers you think a child under 3 or a young person aged 16-25 might need or appreciate.
2. If you include gender specific gifts please write a M (Male), F (Female) or a B, BB or BG (Baby/Baby Boy/Baby Girl) on the box or gift tag. Regarding babies/toddlers please also put a rough age range of the gifts inside. This helps with small parts and safe-guarding our smallest residents.
4. This is a good initiative for an office, school or activities group. Everyone could bring in just one box but your combined donation will be quite sizeable!
5. We know how busy people are though in the run up to Christmas so if you don't have time but still want to contribute please donate the amount you would have spent through the BT 'My Donate' function on our website and write 'Secret Santa' in the message box: Donate today!
6. Finally, let us know what you are doing. Contact fundraising@stbasils.org.uk or tag us in your post on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter and then all that remains is to get your boxes over to us!
If you live in Birmingham please contact St Basils fundraising team first on 0121 772 9614 or by emailing fundraising@stbasils.org.uk and we will direct you to your nearest project.
If you live outside of Birmingham please contact your local project to arrange delivery.
If you live in Coventry or Warwickshire please contact our Coventry services staff team.
The deadline to let us know you have a donation is Thursday 20th December 2018 before 4pm and the last day to drop off donations is Friday 21st December.


The sales meeting is going well and then the curve ball, better known as an objection, is thrown out by the prospect. Objections range from timing, we are satisfied with our current vendor or we're not sure we need to change.
When salespeople hear an objection, one of two selling behaviors usually occurs. The first behavior is to overcome the objection. Unfortunately, too many salespeople have been taught to overcome the objection---at least three times. Now, that's an annoying sales call. Prospects learn to avoid bringing up potential concerns. As a result, the salesperson can't get a second meeting because the spoken or unspoken objection has not been discussed.
The second selling behavior that occurs is panic. Emotions take over the meeting and salespeople move into defend and justify mode. The salesperson is now in that uncomfortable position of convincing rather than influencing.
The best way to handle objections is to bring them up. Every salesperson knows the objections he or she is going to hear from a prospect. So why wait for your prospect to bring up the objection? Bring up the objection and put yourself in the offensive position, not defensive position.
Can your company really deliver?
What is your level of service after the sale?
Is it going to be worth the hassle of switching?
Be real world and authentic. Bring up objections. Put yourself in a proactive position rather than a defensive position. Your prospect really doesn't want you to overcome the objection seven times.

How have sports have positively impacted your life?
Sport has positively impacted my life by introducing me to relationships (like my husband, for example!) and the friendships I have today. It has taught me so many life lessons that drive me not only in sport but also in the corporate world, as a parent and wife, and in regular everyday situations. These lessons include how to work hard, set and achieve goals, be a leader, and how to be a great teammate and role model. Sport has also allowed me to travel all over the U.S. and throughout the world.
When did you first realize that volleyball was your sport?
Initially, I really thought basketball was going to be my sport! I grew up watching my brother and sister play. My dad coached me, and we always had a very competitive/successful team growing up. Volleyball wasn't introduced to me until I was in middle school, and I didn't play at a very high level (competitive club volleyball) until I was in high school. I played as a setter, I'm 6'2", and I'm from a small town in Wisconsin…to say I stuck out, is an understatement. I played just about every sport growing up, which helped my athletic abilities. Once I became more involved with a competitive club, I began traveling more (my very first flight was when I was 16, and I was going to a volleyball tournament). I was drawing the attention of recruiters and being seen by colleges and universities. Once the recruiting letters started to roll in, I was given the opportunity to play this sport I loved at an increasingly higher level. That's when it was pretty clear that volleyball was my sport.
Who would you say are your sports heroes?
My parents. As I mentioned earlier, my dad coached me in basketball growing up. He also coached me in softball. He taught me how to work hard and even though I'm his daughter, he didn't give special privileges. He made me earn my playing time. My parents would encourage me to put in the extra work, and they taught me that things don't just happen by sitting back and hoping for something great to happen. My parents also allowed me to be a multi-sport athlete and drove me from basketball straight to volleyball and got up at 3am on the weekends to take me to tournaments and power leagues. They taught me how to stand up for myself, because they were not going to be the ones who spoke to a coach on my behalf. They were my biggest fans and, of course, my transportation! They are the real sports heroes because they gave up their time, energy and money so that I could have the chance to live my dreams and that helped to open a world of opportunity for me.
My other sports hero is my husband, Damien. He is blessed with very athletic capabilities, but his work ethic and determination have helped take him to a different level, and have enabled him to be successful in everything he does. His sport has also been volleyball his entire life, and when he faced some challenges with volleyball during college, he decided to test out football, a sport he had never played before. He knew he could handle the workload, but he was intrigued to give his body a different focus physically and to test his limits in a different way. He made the team, which is a testament in itself to his "never give up" attitude. He also continued to play volleyball (since they were different seasons). In his final season of volleyball, he led his team to the National Championship! He amazes me every day with what he can accomplish. He has now retired from playing (after a professional career of 7 seasons), but carries that same work ethic, determination, and must win attitude in his career.
Finally, Kobe. To be honest, I didn't follow Kobe Bryant very much before his tragic passing. I knew he was an amazing athlete, but hearing all of the incredible stories from people who knew him well, I have learned how hard he worked and what a genuine person he was, even with all of his successes. I would say he has become one of my sports heroes.
How did you prepare on game day? Did you have any rituals or certain music that helps you get ready to play?
Going through our serve & pass the morning of game day, pre-game meal, nap, and then back to the gym for an extra long warm up before we played. I wasn't very superstitious to have the same ritual last more than a couple weeks in a season. If we lost, the ritual was done and I had to find something different!
When volleyball was in off-season, how did you keep your body physically and mentally fit?
Learning from our awesome strength coaches helped with that! Looking back, I feel like I took it for granted. Now, I'm not afraid of the word "cardio" and I love to get my workouts in every morning before everyone else is up!
What are three life lessons you never would have known without playing volleyball?
Failing is not a bad thing–it's what you learn from failing and how to bounce back to be better than next time.
Perfection is not possible to achieve every time you step on the court. For example, a really good hitting percentage for an outside hitter in volleyball is 300. This means, if a player takes 10 swings and gets 4 kills out of those 10 swings, but 1 error, she is hitting 300. (4 kills – 1 error = 3/10 attempts = .300) That's 4 points out of 10 attempts to hit the ball. When hearing it like that, it doesn't sound too impressive, but that's actually a great hitting percentage and it's not perfect.
Continue to do what you love for as long as you can. There are many opportunities in life, and I think I've had a career in almost every single capacity that is volleyball! I was a player, a coach, a director, a marketer and promoter, and also have worked in sales. I'm blessed to have these opportunities.
Why do you personally believe that Sport Fuels Life?
Sport Fuels Life because it keeps us working hard, it keeps us healthy physically and mentally, it entertains us, and it teaches us lessons about camaraderie, leadership, work ethic, goal setting, and how to recover from failure.

In this blog, we will be discussing the ways by which Apache Presto can be integrated with Hive and how SQL queries can be performed on Hive using Presto.
Presto is an open source distributed SQL query engine for big data processing. It is used by many organizations, like Facebook, because of its scalability and interactive analytical approaches.
What is Presto Used For?
Presto can be used as an SQL query engine on top of Hive, Cassandra, relational databases, and much more. A single Presto query can combine data from multiple sources, allowing for analytics across your entire organization.
Now let us see how to install Presto, and how it can be integrated with Hive.
presto_data directory will be created in the $HOME directory.
Inside the etc folder itself create one more file with the name "config.properties" where you need to provide the configuration for a single node cluster.
For connectors, you need to create one more directory inside the etc folder with the name "catalog". Inside the catalog if you are connecting Presto with Hive, then you need to create a file with name "hive.properties" where you need to add the following information.
You can give the port a number of your choice.
After setting the properties, save and close the file and update the bashrc file using the command "source .bashrc".
Now from your terminal home, use either the command of "launcher start" or "launcher run" to start Presto.
Now run the following command to enter into Presto CLI.
To query Hive tables using presto, you need to start the Hive metastore service in one terminal which should keep on running.
In the above screenshot, we have started the Hive metastore service, which is on the left-hand side, and on the right-hand side we have started the Presto server and the Presto CLI.
With the presto CLI we have also performed one query to check the list of tables in Hive.
Now we will check in Hive for the same tables.
In the above screenshot, the same list of tables has been displayed on the Hive console also.
Let us perform one simple query on the Olympic table present in Hive. Now we will find out the average age of athletes from the Olympic table. You can see the result in the following screenshot.
We hope this blog post helped you in understanding Presto better, and how to integrate it with Hive and perform SQL kind of queries on Hive using Presto.

Agios Tychonas is a tourist village a few kilometres east of Limassol.
According to the 2011 inventory it had a population of 3458 residents. It neighbours with the communities of Moutagiaka, Pyrgos and Armenochori. Earlier on there was a church dedicated to Agio Tychona. In the church rubble there is the tomb of Saint John the Eleimona, who was born in the village in the 5th century.
In the village there are some remains of every era in Cyprus: Ancient Greek, Byzantine, and Medieval. In the centre is the Kingdom city of Amathounta at the seafront of Agios Tychonas. According to the legend it took its name from Amathounda, the mother of King Kinira in Paphos. According to legend, Amathounda was founded by one of Hercules's sons. Another legend speaks about the beautiful Ariadne, the daughter of Crete's King Minoa, who helped Theseus kill the Minotaur. After leaving the labyrinth she followed Theseus to the area of Amathounda where he married her. Theseus then left her and she gave birth to the twin sons, Stafilo and Inopiona dying at birth. Her two sons created the first vineyard in the area, which resulted in the development of viniculture and the production of wine. Amathounda which was built on seaside hills, developed and became one of the richest Kingdoms in Cyprus. The archaeological remains have witnessed human presence for three thousand years. The Amathounda port was built in the pre-Phoenix years about 800 B.C and developed an intense business activity with the people of the nearby areas. At the top of the hill, during the first century B.C, a temple devoted to the goddess of Aphrodite was built. This is where the Adonious sports competitions took place including the hunting of wild boar. During the Roman years it became the capital of one of the four commanding districts in Cyprus, while in the fourth century A.D it became a bishop seat continuing its prosperity until the sixth century A.D John the Eleimona, the protector of the St John's Battalion was born. Things changed though, after the presence of the great Crusades King, Richard the Lionheart in 1191. Amathounda was located at an advanced stage of decline as its riches were being plundered and its stones from the architectonic building were taken for new houses in Limassol. In 1869 stones from the area were used even for the construction of the Suez damn. The excavations in the area began in 1980 and continued by teams of Cypriot and French archaeologists. The Acropolis, the temple of Aphrodite, the market, the city walls, the Vasiliki and the port are the projects which have been completed through the excavations. In the seaside of the ancient town there indications of a First-Christianic Vasiliki while on the peak of the hill, buildings of the Hellenic period were discovered. At the two Acropolis, there were many tombs discovered most of them intact. The archaeological remains of the ancient Amathounda are located in the museums of Nicosia and Limassol as well as the Metropolitan museum of New York. One of the most precious and definitely the largest treasure discovered in the Ancient Amathounda area is the pithari of great historic value made by limestone and which is located in the Louvre museum in Paris. The history of the pithari is dated if the 6th century B.C. It has a height of 1, 85 metres high and a perimeter of 2, 2 metres and weights 1, 4 tones. It was made by one large stone and it has four curved handles decorated with the head of bull. It is believed to be one of the two pitharia which were located in the entrance of the temple. Even today pieces of the second pithari are visible. The pithari is considered to be unique due to its size as well as construction. In 1962 Marcisius De Vogue a distinguished French academic, gained the pithari and in 1965 the French Navy transferred it to the Louvre museum where it is located until today.
Agios Tychonas has developed in the area of tourism. Within the community's administration boundaries there are luxury hotels and tourist apartments. Seven of Agios Tychonas beaches have gained the blue flag of the European Union for cleaning and the services provided according to the environmental criteria placed by the European Union. The beaches have wave breakers as well as lifesavers for safety. Along the beaches of Agios Tychonas water sports take place like water ski, sailing parachuting, canoeing, speedboats, jet skis.
Agios Tychonas also has the only sailing centre in Cyprus. Additionally in the port of Ancient Amathounta divers take place by the special divers school in order to learn but also to study the two hundred species of fish, which are in the sea at Agios Tychonas as well as the ancient ruins at the port of Ancient Amathounta which are located at the bottom of the sea at short distance from the shores. Agios Tychonas also has a seaside trail of 6 miles from the Poseidon hotel to the east. At the end of the path there is a pinecone park.


Urbanization means more crowded areas and challenges like spatial planning, environmental effects, mobility issues and a new social/demographic balance. This means that the physical and social infrastructure will change and new underlying dynamics will evolve. The information society is pushed and integrated in almost all facets of the city. Within this disrupted environment, becoming a smart and safe city does not only mean taking good care of the residents and the way they live, work and their leisure in the city and make this easier, but also taking care of the risks and threats that lay beneath.
Technology-wise there are a lot of possibilities to make cities safer and smarter. But this doesn't mean that we can use all the technology just in the way we would like to because it has to be implemented, shared and managed by many stakeholders within laws and regulation. For example sharing data to be safe, sounds logical but it is not. Safety is also the feeling of freedom when living in a city. That means privacy cannot be compromised.
At PwC we look at possible threats and develop scenarios on how to deal with threats and risks while maintaining a safe city. Becoming a safe city is a matter of smart cooperation next to the use of new technological possibilities. It is not possible to become a safe city on your own. Within a city you need strategic alliances. These cooperation should focus both on prevention and repression to achieve real long lasting results. Besides, it is necessary to share data while ensuring everybody's privacy.
The first approach focusses on physical safety: safety in vital infrastructure, public transport, housing, climate changes and threads from terroristic attacks, each influenced by the condensed way of living and working.
The second approach is all about the 'warm' side of our life: social inclusion, age friendliness, easiness in personal, economic and social development, which is expressed in the way we feel valued as an individual or group.
Successful urban regions – smart urban regions – are able to compete in a sustainable manner by finding a balance between economic development, social cohesion and quality of the living environment. Economic growth can be maximised by incorporating these three objectives in a holistic approach. This was one of the conclusions of international research that PwC has been conducting since 2005, under the titles iUrban and Cities of Opportunity.
This integral approach in 'smart cities' requires collaboration based on trust, involving all parties in the regional ecosystem ('Penta-helix'): the public and private sector, social organisations, learning institutions and members of the general public - both young and old. But this will also require flexibility which allows new approaches to be attempted within new partnerships. Innovative leadership is essential.
Within this approach, municipal authorities transform from individual entities to a whole network, and will no longer be the sole service provider – they will act as a versatile facilitator or supply chain manager for the various involved parties. Bonds can be reinforced using new technologies and 'open' and 'big' data, which will help to improve measurability and predictability. These parties can then work together to resolve social problems and generate value for the public.
We are involved in large-scale national and international transformation programmes - from the strategy phase to the execution of smart & safe city projects, which involves collaborating with governments, knowledge institutions and other important public and private stakeholders. Due to our research into smart urban regions, we have been able to acquire a great deal of international knowledge and data, which we would now like to share with you.
We are able to transform casual regional relationships into effective partnerships within new organisations, and can help to give these organisations the required agility. We would also like to share our latest concepts for leadership, governance and financing. How will you be addressing the competitiveness of your region?

Marvel Studios' THOR: RAGNAROK | "Hela Good" Featurette
The force comes to an end in STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER – Review
Lee Romero | Posted on December 18, 2019 December 28, 2019
Movies & Entertainment News Reviews
"The force comes to an end in STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER – Review"
Daisy Ridley's final Life Saber swings in STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER | © Lucasfilm / Disney 2019
Not a perfect movie and/or ending by any stretch, but it encompasses the overall spirit and adventure we all grew to love about STAR WARS! It's a saga that'll live wihtin us for a long, long time and extend to places far, far away…!
A little over four decades and George Lucas' STAR WARS still holds its own as one of the most popular and powerful franchises. Branded a "Space Western," the start of this saga garnered millions of fans, followed by billions of dollars, multiple sequels, prequels, and spinoffs. (MANDALORIAN, anyone?) STAR WARS films have been on the receiving end of backlash as well. Truth be told, this new one won't go without ridicule, too. But it doesn't even matter. They keep coming. Rabid fans (and even critics) can think, do, or say whatever they want. In some way, shape, or form they're lasso'd back in. And because they/we keep coming back, the force will be with this franchise for generations to come. Wrapping its STAR WARS film series with episode 9, it's been an interesting journey that started way back on Earth in 1977. No need to keep you updated, because if there's one thing this series has done well is make sure its audience is on the up-n-up with its "In a galaxy far, far away…" opening credits.
So much is running through my brain right now. So much I want to unleash. BUT I need to keep this as spoiler free as possible. So… here we go! Returning to direct the final chapter, J.J. Abrams' THE RISE OF SKYWLKER presents us with the surviving Resistance facing off against the First Order once again. So, continuing where the series left off, this joyride of space hoopla takes every step to make sure it wraps up a story aimed at Rey (Daisy Ridley), and why Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) keeps insisting she join the Dark Side. The scope of this storyline is the heartbeat of the film. At a run of over two hours, the build-up for the ultimate payoff is worth it. In other words, we learn so much about Rey, her abilities, and why she's just so damn special. It's a tug-of-war between her past, present, and the fate of her future.
The first half of the film serves as the building blocks. Reuniting all our favorites, the wave of it and scenarios are quite fun to endure. It takes dips in places, but as it exposes bits-n-pieces, the anticipation for that final showdown becomes intensely welcoming. The overall narrative allows supporting players like Poe (Oscar Isaac), Finn (John Boyega), and Kylo Ren to step up to the plate in terms of holding their own and making a mark. Hell, even Palpatine's (Ian McDiarmid) return rattles your soul with his scenes and haunting mini monologues. But it's the cameos with Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, and Mark Hamill that gives this film—like all others—that magical touch of origin, and never fails to get the audience applauding. However, Ridley is indeed the new face of the franchise. So much, the film makes sure it keeps reiterating it, especially during its final scene.
As a finale for a series that's gone on for over forty years, I can say it was pretty touching. Even though RISE OF SKYWALKER answers questions, there's still a lot to digest, because it generates new questions, too. Some of it moved me. Some of it made me feel a little "meh." BUT… I can't lie. I enjoyed this one more than I did LAST JEDI. Its action sequences are visually stunning. Its sound mixing is audibly intense. And its overall execution is entertaining. I'm sure RISE OF SKYWALKER will trigger others differently, but, its cinematic effect will last a lifetime, as I'm sure this final chapter will generate more interest. Why? Well, because its teases lead to the following questions: What's up with Rey's parents? Does Rey join the Dark Side? Or does she remain true to Jedi protocol? (Among others…) George Lucas can rest easy with his creation. Its accomplished a lot on its own. J.J. Abrams placed an interesting final stamp. Whether we'll see our current STAR WARS series contemporaries in other Star Wars-based spinoffs remains to be seen. For now, RISE OF SKYWALKER makes sure they remain engraved in our geeky brains. Enjoy. And as always… may the force be with you all!

Total Eclipse of the Odyssey
As of the writing of this post, the first lunar eclipse of 2011 is underway, visible on at least part of every continent except North America. (Homo sapiens stuck in North America can view pictures and feeds of the eclipse on a number of websites, including Google's homepage.) It's the longest lunar eclipse since 2000. Like many other natural wonders, for centuries most people believed lunar eclipses to be heaven-sent omens, sometimes even changing the course of wars. Although these spectacles are no longer the scientific mysteries to the wider public that they once were (in spite of sports fans' determination to read the astronomical tea leaves), unlike other natural phenomena (floods or forest fires, for example), the patterns behind solar and lunar eclipses are so precise that astronomers can predict both future and past eclipses to the day, allowing astronomers to calculate the dates of ancient events.
Four years ago, astronomers from Rockefeller University in New York sought to confirm a date for one of the earliest solar eclipses mentioned in human history. In the 20th book of Homer's Odyssey, the seer Theoklymenos warns Penelope's suitors of their impending deaths, and ends his prophecy thus: "the sun is blotted out of heaven, and a blighting gloom is over all the land." Ancient scholars, including Heraclitus and Plutarch, have long noted that the line suggested a total solar eclipse. In 1926, astronomer Carl Schoch went so far as to suggest a specific date, April 16, 1178 BCE, but Homeric scholars have rarely given credence to the theory, believing it unlikely that Homer would know of a specific eclipse that occurred some five centuries before the story was composed as we know it today. To further test Schoch's proposed date, the authors analyzed the rest of the text for astronomical references, finding three: Odysseus navigating using the constellations Pleiades and Bootes (which only share the sky in March and September), Venus rising in the sky before dawn when Odysseus arrives at Ithaca, and a reference to the god Hermes traveling "far west to Ogygia" to deliver news, then "immediately travel[ing] back east." The authors argue that the third passage describes the planetary motion of Mercury (the Roman name for Hermes), which reverses course in the sky every 116 days. Because a new moon is necessary for a solar eclipse, the authors compared new moon dates between 1250 and 1150 (around when the real Trojan War is believed to have occurred) to the three conditions mentioned elsewhere in the epic. They found only one date that matched: April 16, 1178 BCE. Seems Homer knew his astronomy pretty well.

Boys team is on a roll
Appear in state rankings
Sam Wentworth, senior, crosses the ball against Pickens County High School last week. - photo by Ryan Coker Dawson Community News
Pam Jacobs
Updated: April 17, 2012, 4:17 p.m.
The Dawson County High School varsity boys soccer team is entering the Region 8-AA playoffs on a roll. The Tigers posted two wins last week. The team defeated Pickens 1-0 before taking down Banks County 3-0.
The team's current record is 9-5 overall and 4-1 in Region 8-AA North.
Dawson County had won four of its last five games going into the April 17 games against Elbert County. Results of that game were not available as of press time.
Head coach Jed Lacey's team also appeared in the Class AA Top 10 for the first time this season.
The Tigers are ranked No. 8 in the latest poll.
Senior night was held last Wednesday when the Tigers hosted Pickens.
The game was a defensive battle that saw both teams fighting for every possession.
Before the varsity boys game Lacey and his coaching staff paid honor to four seniors. Stanton Rogers, Cody Hall, Sam Wentworth and James Carr, as well as their parents, were recognized for their four years of hard work.
Tiger Josh Lund broke the scoreless tie with just 3:08 left in the game on a pass from Sal Mendoza to give Dawson the 1-0 win.
Goalie Brooks Fulford earned his seventh shutout of the season.
On April 13, the team traveled to Banks County for the last region game of the season before the playoffs.
The Tigers pulled out a hard fought 3-0 win over the Leopards to improve the team's region record to 4-1.
Dawson County got on the board with 6:47 left in the first half on a goal by Chris Bywaletz.
The assist was given to Rogers.
The score at the half was 1-0 Dawson.
Lund scored Dawson County's second goal with 28:39 left in the second half on Rogers' second assist of the game.
The goal was Lund's sixth of the season.
Freshman midfielder Josh Sage scored his first high school goal with 8:06 remaining on a beautiful pass from Brandon Lund.
Fulford picked up his eighth shutout of the season in goal.
Dawson County tied with East Hall as the sub-region champions, but because East Hall defeated the Tigers, 1-0, the Vikings were named sub-region champions.
If Dawson County defeated Elbert County yesterday, the team will play this Friday. The opponent, time and location of that game had not been determined as of press time.

The Severn Valley Railway has confirmed Great Western Railway 56XX No.5619 is the third guest engine for their March 2019 Spring Steam Gala.
No.5619 is the oldest preserved member of the 56XX class, being built at Swindon Works in March 1925.
The 56XXs were primarily built to replace the hundreds of engines taken over by the GWR in the 1923 grouping.
The tank was eventually withdrawn in June 1964, where the engine was then sent to the famous Barry Scrapyard. The engine was later restored in 1981 and has been seen running on various heritage lines across the country. Owned by Telford Steam Railway, 5619 carries BR Unlined Black with Late Crest.
Also known as the Great Western branch line bonanza, the SVR has planned the perfect line-up for this GWR branch line themed weekend. Large Prairie No.4144 and Pannier Tank No.6430 join 5619 as visitors for the event, working alongside home fleet engines of Ex-Port Talbot Railway No.813, Small Tank No.1450, Hawksworth Pannier Tank No.1501, Heavy Freight loco No.2857, Pannier Tank No.7714 and 'Manor' No.7802 "Bradley Manor".
Key attractions include auto trains, double heading and short goods trains. For more information or to buy your tickets online now, please visit the Severn Valley Railway's website here.

The shock death of the beloved Indian star aged 54, who reportedly passed away while attending her nephew's wedding in the emirate late Saturday night, prompted an outpouring of grief among fans and fellow Bollywood actors.
"I have no words. Condolences to everyone who loved Sridevi. A dark day. RIP", tweeted actress Priyanka Chopra.
Born Shree Amma Yanger Ayappan, Sridevi made her acting debut aged just four, and went on have a career spanning over four decades.
She appeared in a string of blockbuster hit films including Chandni, Mr India, Mawali and Tohfa.
She was awarded the Padma Shri, India's fourth highest civilian award, for her services to the film industry.
"Saddened by the untimely demise of noted actor Sridevi. She was a veteran of the film industry, whose long career included diverse roles and memorable performances," Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Twitter.

Indian social media and news channels were buzzing with tributes to Sridevi.
One of Bollywood's leading actors, Akshay Kumar, too expressed his shock at the "untimely demise."

From September through November the Helix Highlander Band, Pipes and Color Guard perform at all home football games. The Helix Highlander Band, Pipes and Color Guard are both a pep band during the game and perform the field show during half time. The students provide a high degree of excitement and entertainment at the games; which adds to the campus atmosphere. Without our participation, games would not be as exciting or fun to see.
5:45 pm – warm-up & tune with your section leader.
NOTE: Members of the Band stay for the entire football game unless otherwise directed by Mr. Benge.
The call-time for the Band is usually earlier for the homecoming game as the band performs prior to game as opposed to half time. Stay tuned for an announcement on this report time.
Please eat a meal before arriving for a home football game. Band volunteers provide water during football games.
Parking is very tight during home football games.
If you're just dropping students off, you can do so on the main street by the band room.
Can I Watch? Parents are encouraged to come to as many home football games as possible. Yes, parents must pay to get into all football games. HIMA and parents wear the green colors and sit behind or near the band.
Why should I attend? Watching the band perform at home football games gives parents a chance to see the incredible progress our students make over the course of marching season. In the early games, the band only performs a selection or two from the field show. As the season progresses the entire field show is revealed and marching/music evolves into an exciting display. Your attendance gives support to our students.
Volunteers are needed for a variety of events throughout the school year. Ask a Band Booster board member or committee chair how you can help for a single day or multiple activities throughout the band season.

Unknown to many, foreigners can take part in the Pyongyang marathon in North Korea and run around the streets of the capital city, finishing off in the impressive Kim Il Sung stadium.
So, here's 10 reasons why you shouldn't miss it.
Be one of very few tourists to experience a domestic flight on North Korean airline Air Koryo, flying from the North Korean border town of Sinuiju to Pyongyang on an Antonov 24. These 44-seater Soviet-era planes are chartered by us and are a unique travel experience in itself for the budding flight geeks out there.
If you thought touching down in Pyongyang was a surreal experience, wait until you're gearing up to walk into Kim Il Sung Stadium, listening in anticipation to the growing roar of 50,000 Korean spectators cheering inside. After the opening ceremony, participants walk one lap, waving to the packed-out stadium filled to the brim with colour-coded Koreans, cheering on the local and visiting marathon participants alike. A truly unreal experience and likely the closest thing any amateur athlete can get to the feeling of competing in the Olympics or major sporting event.
Once the marathon kicks off you'll be out into the streets of Pyongyang. The marathon circuit and streets are lined with locals Pyongyangites out to watch the race with their friends and family, more than willing to hand out high fives of encouragement to runners. Much like our bicycle tour, there's something unreal about running through the streets of Pyongyang and getting a whole new perspective to the city, off the tour bus. With the option to compete in the full marathon, half marathon, 10km or 5km, the option to either seriously compete or take a leisurely stroll through the streets with your camera at the ready to snap some great shots of local life is entirely up to you.
If you've ever wanted to watch a game of local football in North Korea, this is your chance. Local league teams play against each other in the middle of Kim Il Sung Stadium for spectators to watch while marathon runners enter the stadium. Runners with a timely finish will also get to watch the game over a refreshing, local Taedonggang beer from the grandstands.
Located in the sporting district of Pyongyang and surrounded by a golf course and multiple sporting stadiums, you'll be staying at the Sosan Hotel during your stay for the Pyongyang Marathon. Look out for the official DPRK sports tracksuits in the Sosan's gift store, one of the must-have and intrinsically DPRK-souvenirs available. Not to mention, you'll be looking like a boss when strolling around Pyongyang in your new gear. These sell out very quickly, so get in early.
With our very own YPT traveller taking out the first place in the amateur full marathon race in 2017, make your glory lap up to the podium in the centre of the stadium to be presented with your medal and a congratulatory bouquet of flowers in front of 50,000 cheering spectators.
With the Pyongyang Marathon taking place one week before the national holiday of President Kim Il Sung's Birthday, better known as the Day of the Sun, this is an incredible time to be in Pyongyang. With special celebrations happening around the city, last year saw a massive military parade for Kim Il Sung's 105th birthday, as well as special music and arts performances and iconic mass dance celebrations happening around the city, which you can even participate in yourself.
For those extending their marathon tour, you'll be heading to Pyongsong, the rarely visited satellite city of Pyongyang. You'll get to visit Mother Kim Jong Suk Middle School Number 1 where you can meet English students, not only giving them a fantastic opportunity to practice their English with you, but for you to learn and ask questions about their lives as young people in the DPRK. Any budding teachers can also teach an impromptu class too!
We'll also be taking a day trip down to Kaesong, Sariwon and the DMZ to see one of the most heavily militarized borders in the world. Extended tours will also head to the infamous International Friendship Museum in Mt. Myohyang, the east coast city of Nampo and all of the must-see Pyongyang sites, with as many local experiences possible. Sound good? Check out our extensive list of marathon tours, bookings available and filling fast!

Public space and St Joseph Church
Artistic interventions in the public space
Sariev gallery's program and activities have always extended beyond its physical space. Throughout its history, we have initiated and supported projects realized in public space, including video installations, interventions, sculptural projects, which were developed with local and international artists and curators. These projects took place in various locations in the city of Plovdiv, such as Kapana quarter, Cosmos Cinema, Pelicans' Fountain at Stefan Stambolov Sq.
In 2017, Sariev Contemporary started collaboration with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sofia and Plovdiv, which was manifested in two exhibition projects that took place in the Catholic Church from the 19th century St. Joseph in Plovdiv. That year, the gallery presented the solo show "I Walk a Labyrinth Which is a Straight Line" by Stefan Nikolaev in the gallery's white cube and in St. Joseph Church, which was a first exhibition in the history of this church. It was followed in 2018 by the solo show "What energy do we put into transforming things, with undisguised pleasure" by Rada Boukova, which was also realized in these two locations.

WaterStreet Company delivers value to small and midsize P&C insurers by supporting their operational and technology needs so they can work more efficiently, manage headcount and cost, and focus on their core objectives. By enabling our customers to become more productive and more successful, we help ensure success for our own company and for every member of our team.
Visit https://www.waterstreetcompany.com/about-us/ for more information.
WaterStreet Company approached IntelliTect, with whom they have had a business relationship for the past two years, to come up with a web-based solution to make their insurance systems scalable. The value-added reseller of property and casualty insurance systems required an integrated solution to grow their business beyond the original customer base. For each customer, WaterStreet has provided a customized solution. Therefore, implementing even simple policy changes, required WaterStreet personnel to modify each system individually. To address this, WaterStreet wanted a web-based single solution that would work with their third-party systems and provide a scalable architecture.
IntelliTect recommended a multi-tenant approach using MongoDB as the database backbone. MongoDB is a fast-growing database solution that uses dynamic schemas in an object-oriented environment, making use of an easy-to-use, easy-to-read data interchange format. MongoDB treats data as objects and allows customers to configure individual fields. The IntelliTect solution uses OData – an open standard data protocol that allows data to be queried and to interoperate with other systems in a standardized way. The multiple server solution also uses database sharding, which balances information on a server infrastructure to allow data balance and proportional distribution among multiple customers. In addition, IntelliTect has provided training and best practice guidance to WaterStreet Company personnel as well as the MongoDB scalable architectural solution.
WaterStreet Company has used a prototype MongoDB system since July 2015. The user interface provides configurable fields in a drag-and-drop interface so that each customer can apply their own business rules to produce documents with the look, touch and feel they want.
IntelliTect has trained WaterStreet personnel to apply and use MongoDB to set up the multi-tenant back-end system structure and provide a configurable easy-to-use interface. MongoDB provides WaterStreet with a document-oriented system that allows for ad hoc queries, indexing, replication, load balancing, file storage, batch processing and aggregation, and fixed-sized collections. With the open-source MongoDB system, WaterStreet is poised to serve its clients' needs with an updated, fast and scalable system.
