Change default notifications for new users?
We're having an issue on one of our courses where the students feel that they are being spammed too much by Canvas (it has a lot of assignments that can be solved quite rapidly, resulting in them receiving 8 e-mails after working for 1-2 hours).
I know they can alter their own notification settings, but is there any way for me to change the default settings for new users? It would be nice if I could just set it to a weekly update as default instead of immediate e-mails so new users don't have to get their head around the notification settings (which are extremely numerous and filled with terms that they do not understand).
While Canvas does not provide a way for us to setup notification preferences for new users via the GUI, it does allow us to modify notification preferences via their API's.
I looked into this and I've been trying to make it work. While I could easily change it for just one user using this method, I can't figure out how to scale the solution up.
Do you know of any way to pull such a list?
I am not sure there is a way to do this via a CSV file. The way I did it was through coding to call an the api's necessary to get the ID's needed to perform the update and then call the notifications api to update the preferences of the user.

Coca-Cola is one of just four Dow components holding the blue-chip index back.
Stock markets are moving higher today as global finance leaders debate fiscal policy at a G7 Summit. There was confusion today over whether there is support for Japan's currency-devaluing policies or not. The yen has been dropping like a rock versus other currencies, which some fear could lead to a currency war, although that doesn't appear to be to be the case yet. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI) and S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) shook off currency talk to rise 0.38% and 0.17%, respectively, in late trading.
Leading the Dow's charge were banking stocks after a large rival announced major job cuts. British bank Barclays announced a 1 billion pound loss for 2012 and said it would cut 3,700 jobs over the next three years, mostly in investment banking. Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) responded by jumping 3.5% and 1%, respectively. A smaller Barclays means more opportunity for U.S. giants, particularly in the profitable investment-banking business.
On the downside, Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) has fallen 2.9% after fourth-quarter earnings fell short of expectations. The company reported revenue of $11.46 billion, up 5% on a comparable currency basis, and a 13% jump in net income to $1.87 billion, or $0.41 per share. The short-term problem is that both results fell short of expectations. Investors often put blinders on during earnings season and only look at expectations, missing the fact that revenue and earnings are growing for this dividend-paying giant. In the long term, the stock will bounce back from this blow today.

A Composer Breaks Down The Music Theory Behind Lorde's "Solar Power"
In Theory July 20, 2021 1:01 PM By Vivek Maddala
Vivek Maddala is an Emmy-winning composer and a regular participant in The Number Ones Comment Section. After reading his takes on the music theory behind several historic hits, we invited him to turn his focus on more current singles. Welcome to our new column In Theory.
"Solar Power," the title track and lead single off of Lorde's forthcoming album, is a breezy, cheerful kind of summer anthem — and a rather modest one. The song feels understated due to its dry production style, but more importantly, because of its simple and direct compositional architecture.
If you've heard some of Lorde's previous singles — "Royals" and "Green Light" in particular — you may recognize that the I-♭VII-IV chord progression and the accompanying Mixolydian mode feature prominently in both songs. So maybe it shouldn't come as a surprise that Lorde and co-writer/producer Jack Antonoff chose the same chord and modal structure to carry "Solar Power." Let's take a look at the song's underlying musical design and explore why it works the way it does.
If you're unfamiliar with musical building blocks, let's define some terms. In Western tonal music, there are 12 chromatic pitches that we denote using letters A through G, along with sharps (#) and flats (♭): A, A#/B♭, B, C, C#/D♭, D, D#/E♭, E, F, F#/G♭, G, G#/A♭. The distance between any two pitches is called an "interval" and you can combine intervals to create chords. We call the intervallic distance between adjacent pitches "semitones" (or "half steps") and two semitones make a "whole tone" (two half steps make a "whole step"). The standard major scale contains 7 pitches (separated by combinations of semi- and whole tones) to which we ascribe Roman numerals as follows: I, ii, iii, IV, V, vi, viio.
We use upper case Roman numerals to indicate that the chord built on that scale degree has a "major" quality, while lower case Roman numerals indicate the chord built on that scale degree has a "minor" quality. (You'll notice that the seventh degree is written in lower case, but it also has a small superscript circle — meaning it's not exactly a minor chord, per se, but a diminished one. Diminished chords are lovely, valuable devices, but not relevant to Lorde's "Solar Power" — so we'll save that for another time.) When composers construct tunes using only the 7 pitches comprising the scale, we call this a "diatonic" melody. If they introduce pitches outside of the 7 notes, we call it "chromatic" (or non-diatonic).
Each of the chords built on a scale degree brings with it a particular kind of emotional energy in relation to the other chords surrounding it. For example, the I chord (also known as the "tonic") feels completely stable and comfortable because we're essentially "home." Everything is based around the I chord. In contrast, the ii chord and the IV chord both feel somewhat unstable relative to the tonic. There's something not quite resolved about them, and when we hear them relative to the tonic, a subconscious part of us wants them to move "home" to the I chord. The V chord is even more volatile relative to the tonic, and it feels as though a strong gravitational force is pulling us back to the I chord for resolution. Continuing in this fashion, each scale degree plays a particular kind of role, much like characters in a story. We're all familiar with narrative character types — the protagonist, the antagonist, the love interest, the confidant, deuteragonists, tertiary characters, the foil, etc., and the ways in which they each have multiple functions in a story. Chords are like characters insofar as they serve one or more roles, relative to each other.
It's All Relative
Much like how scientists use the periodic table to organize elements, musicians organize the 12 chromatic pitches using the Circle of Fifths. Each key center is positioned in between the two other key centers with which they have the most in common. If we're looking at the key of C, for example, we can see that it has a lot in common with F, the difference being one flat (♭), and with G, the difference being one sharp (#). Furthermore, the key of C has very little in common with G♭/F#, as they're farthest apart in the circle.
Figure 1: Circle of Fifths
It's called the Circle of Fifths because as you travel clockwise from any key center, the next key is a "perfect fifth" interval up: The G Major chord is the V relative to C; the D Major chord is the V relative to G; etc. (As you travel counterclockwise, you'll see that each step takes you down a "perfect fourth": F is the IV relative to C; Bb is the IV relative to F; etc.)
What is the I-bVII-IV chord progression?
Lorde's "Solar Power" is ostensibly in the key of B, which contains the following notes: B, C#, D#, E, F#, G#, and A#. If we assign Roman numeral scale degrees, we can see that B is I (the tonic), C# is ii, D# is iii, etc. "Solar Power" contains only three chords: B, A, and E. If "home" is the B chord, and the IV chord is E, then what do we make of the A chord? It doesn't fit in the key of B, does it? This is the "flat seven" chord—♭VII — meaning they've flattened the seventh degree from A# to A. If each chord plays a certain role (or set of roles) in the song's musical narrative, what role does the ♭VII chord play? This is a pretty juicy question that has been a subject of research and debate among composers and musicologists for centuries.
Figure 2: Lorde's "Solar Power" chord progression using Circle of Fifths relationships
There's a classic musical progression known as the "plagal cadence." It's a way to resolve a musical phrase by going from the IV chord to the I chord. Sometimes this is called the "Amen cadence" because of its frequent setting to the text "Amen" in church hymns. A great example is the closing line in the refrain of the Beatles' "Yesterday," which resolves with a plagal cadence from B♭ to F. It's a kind of soft resolution that feels comforting, but not as definitive as the more common V-I resolution. Notably, Nicole Biamonte of McGill University has described I-♭VII-IV as a "double plagal progression" because the ♭VII is the IV relative to the IV chord. In other words, we can think of I-♭VII-IV as cascading plagal cadences, which is why the soft but not-so-absolute cyclical resolution that Lorde repeatedly uses in "Solar Power" conveys a sense of gentle buoyancy.
Let's pause the I-♭VII-IV discussion for a moment to examine a similar structure: the ii-V-I chord progression, which is a staple in Western harmony, and in jazz in particular. Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn's "Satin Doll" is a classic example. In this progression, the ii chord can feel a bit dark or brooding, but moving to the V chord injects a sense of optimism. Remember that the V chord is quite unstable and yearns to resolve to the I — so when that chord arrives, it conveys a conclusive resolution. In the key of A, the ii-V-I turnaround would be Bmin-E-A. (We could substitute a B7 chord for the Bmin, and it pretty much functions the same way.) You'll notice that this represents adjacent stops on the Circle of Fifths, traveling counterclockwise from B. The satisfying, resolved feeling intrinsic to this ii-V-I progression is why it's so frequently used.
I believe the I-♭VII-IV progression has a similar characteristic, and by examining the Circle of Fifths relationships, we can see why: It's essentially the inverse of the ii-V-I progression; it uses the same chords, but travels in the opposite direction. However, unlike ii-V-I, which feels totally resolved, the I-♭VII-IV completes its cycle in a less-stable manner. It retains the comforting optimism of ii-V-I, but it still desires movement because it's not yet home. Lorde's use of the I-♭VII-IV progression in "Solar Power" invokes a feeling of constant motion, and its why she's able to use it repeatedly without it becoming tiresome. If you imagine a Venn diagram, the chord progression exists at a rare intersection of "fulfilling" and "unsettled," injecting a sense of calm, while still inviting the listener to crave harmonic resolution.
It has always been my feeling that the I-♭VII-IV progression is so widely used in pop music for precisely these reasons. Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child O' Mine" and Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" are two (out of countless) examples of songs featuring it.
Modalality
The melody of "Solar Power" is purely diatonic and closely follows the outline of the I-♭VII-IV progression by employing Mixolydian mode. The standard major ("Ionian") scale contains the following degrees: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Think: Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti. It's the most fundamental heptatonic (7-note) scale in Western music. The Mixolydian scale is identical, but with a "flat 7" (which cooperates nicely with the ♭VII chord) — so we have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ♭7. Great examples of songs using Mixolydian mode include Miles Davis' "All Blues" and Madonna's "Express Yourself."
The mode was used quite a bit in Medieval Gregorian chants, and — as its name implies — traces its roots to ancient Greece. You can also find it in Carnatic music of South India, where it's known as Harikambhoji; and in Hindustani classic music it's the Khamaj raga. A lot of iconic Afro-Cuban music uses Mixolydian mode, and its use is extremely popular in rock 'n' roll (the Kinks' "You Really Got Me," Boston's "More Than A Feeling," Bon Jovi's "Bad Medicine," etc.). Famously, it is Mixolydian mode that gave the Beatles' "Norwegian Wood" its indelible charm.
Figure 3: Lorde's "Solar Power" verse melody
Note that Lorde deploys the A natural note (♭7) only over the A (♭VII) chord, not over B or E. This is pretty "square" and an obvious use of Mixolydian mode, but it works nonetheless. ("Royals" uses Mixolydian mode much more powerfully and creatively by invoking a sense of portending opacity over the tonic (I) chord.)
Figure 4: Lorde's "Solar Power" pre-chorus melody
Like in the verse, the pre-chorus uses the ♭7 in the melody only over the ♭VII chord.
Figure 5: Brief use of Lydian mode in "Solar Power"
In the chorus of "Solar Power" (assuming we can call the third section a chorus, the big coda notwithstanding), Lorde and Antonoff employ modal interchange by briefly implying Lydian mode. This is the one section of the song where the order of the chords breaks with the previously established pattern. Instead of I-♭VII-IV, we now have the (nearly identical) ♭VII-IV-I. Same pattern, just starting in a different place.
Lydian is a major mode similar to the standard major (Ionian) scale, but with a raised 4th degree. So it's 1, 2, 3, #4, 5, 6, 7. Lecturing at Oxford University in 2016, film composer Thomas Newman memorably described the raised 4th as creating a sense of hopefulness and "rising." This description seems apt when you consider some well-known examples of Lydian mode: John Williams' "Flying" theme from E.T.; Leonard Bernstein's "Maria" from West Side Story; the octave-piano melodic hook in Tears For Fears' "Head Over Heels." In "Solar Power," we hear a D# over the A Major chord, which is the song's brief foray into Lydian territory. This note (the #4) will inevitably happen when playing a diatonic B Mixolydian melody over an A Major chord (as the D# defines the "Major" quality in the B Major scale) — so Lorde and Antonoff may not have planned out this modal jaunt. But nonetheless, the melody here performs its Lydian job by infusing a feeling of "rising" into what is, paradoxically, a descending melodic line.
As with pretty much all pop music these days, some of the most compelling aspects of what we hear have more to do with presentation than substance. By substance, I mean composition (those things that can be copyrighted and that appear on the song's lead sheet). By presentation, I mean production — i.e. performance, orchestration, sound design, recording and mixing techniques, etc. Nat King Cole's "Nature Boy," released in 1948, is exquisitely beautiful in no small measure due to Cole's breathtaking performance. But the song's intrinsic writing is so undeniable that the tune cannot help but be a stunning piece of music no matter who performs it or how it is presented. In contrast, I think the elegant beauty of Lorde's music, like a lot of pop music these days, relies heavily on not just the writing but the entire package.
When Lorde released "Royals" in 2013, it was the song's arresting presentation that drew so much attention. The a cappella opening, supported only by a bare kick-and-snaps syncopated groove, awash in reverb, imparts a sense of emotional vagueness. Because the song starts with no chordal or harmonic reference, the melody is tonally ambiguous and the song implicitly asks listeners to project their own feelings into the void—almost as compensation for what it is not saying. The percussion groove sounds a little menacing, and we don't hear the major (Mixolydian) quality of the melody until Lorde completes the last line of the verse. At that point, we're already invested, and then she pulls a kind of harmonic bait-and-switch with a bright D-Major Mixolydian tune. The resulting experience is not confusing, but revelatory and delightful. Miles Davis' famed quip to Claude Debussy about the "space between the notes" being more important than the notes themselves may be the guiding religious principle for Lorde and Antonoff. And it serves them well.
"Solar Power" seems to attempt something like this, with an understated opening, but the result is less striking. Lorde sings her initial vocal in an alto range, quietly, and the treatment is extremely dry (no reverb or delay) with quite a bit of dynamic-range compression. This, coupled with the equally dry palm-muted acoustic guitar, creates a sense of immediacy — like she and Antonoff are whispering in your ear. It's an attractive sound, but not until after two minutes into the song do we hear any significant contrast in the presentation. I understand the desire for a slow build, but unfortunately, the aforementioned recurring chordal and melodic lines aren't compelling enough to sustain it. I suppose if the song's lyrics were saying something insightful or incendiary — or commenting on the human condition in some novel way — then maybe that could support a slow musical build. (Claiming to be a prettier Jesus because "hey let's go to the beach" isn't exactly profound — but it is fun.) Lorde's stacked-octave vocal doubling is impeccable, and Matt Chamberlain's deep-pocket drumming (reminiscent of Gota Yashiki's Groove Activator) is so right. All the component parts are there, but in the aggregate, it's just… fine.

Lymphoma is a type of cancer that embarks in the lymphatic cells of the immune system and presents as a solid tumor of lymphoid cells. Causes of lymphoma are dubious. Lymphoma is always caused by DNA mutations but science has no real answer to the question what causes these mutations.
Patients suffering from lymphoma only in very rare cases have a history of family disease, thus it doesn't seem like a genetic legacy. However, scientific studies have distinguished a number of risk factors but this is only a starting point for some future researches.
Solvents like alcohol, acetone, tolune, hylene, turpentine and benzene are very toxic and related to lymphoma. Benzene is already known to provoke leukemia but recent studies show it might affect lymphoma outbreak, as well. Benzene is a solvent made from petroleum, commonly found in gasoline, cigarette smoke, and a lot of solvents. Workers in the oil industry and plastic manufacturing are at increased risk because of the benzene exposure.
These chemicals are an occupational risk for farmers who use them for weed and pest control. People who live in agricultural areas also share the risk because of the airborne exposure to chemicals from crop dusting, as well as from the groundwater exposure. Furthermore, general population may also be at risk via intake of chemicals through-out the food supply.
Synthetically developed acids, also known as "Agent Orange" because of the orange-striped 55 US gallons barrels used for shipping during the Vietnam War. It is important to understand that herbicides don't enter the body only by the direct exposure, but they may also do the serious harm to human's health through contaminated food and soil, as well as by inhalation. During the Vietnam War both soldiers and population suffered a serious damage caused by herbicide exposure. Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid in particular had hazardous effects because it remains in the soil for years causing many cancers.
A link between hair dye, lymphoma and cancers is highly disputable, but there is some evidence that prove this connection, especially in the case of hair dyes produced before '80. Recent study conducted on 10.000 people indicates it actually may play the role in the risk of NHL, follicular lymphoma and CLL/SL. This was detected mainly amid women who started dying their hair before 1980. Further studies will examine the risk by time episodes of hair-dye use and by genetic inclination.
Some extremely rare cases point out to genetic risk factors. However, even in these cases it isn't clear if the genetic heritage or environmental exposure (or even a combination of these factors) causes a disease. However, some inherited immune disorders may raise one's chance to develop lymphoma: lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, celiac disease and Sjögren's syndrome.
Occurrence of lymphoma in patients suffering from HIV/AIDS is somewhat higher than in the rest of the population. It is because of the correlation between many immune insufficiencies and lymphoma.
EBV is a common member of the herpes family that can cause mononucleosis in young population. Usually, it is a harmful acute condition but in patients with immune system disorders EBV infected cells may be converted into cancerous.
It is a common bacteria that causes stomach inflammations, ulcers and in some cases may lead to stomach cancer and MALT lymphoma - an uncommon type of B-cell tumor.


Organizing entails more than a neat desk, and lots of containers with color coded stickers. You might be familiar with the feeling of frustration when all your efforts to organize only serve to confuse you further.
In her book, "Organizing From the Inside Out" Julie Morgenstern introduces a novel organizing tactic which she calls 'her #1 secret weapon'. It's more than a tactic really; it's an organization strategy which will simplify instead of complicate matters. It's the Kindergarten Model of Organization.
The two main characteristics of a Kindergarten classroom are that 1) It is divided into zones for different activities and 2) Everything has a home within its zone.
Think about what different types of activities you do in your office – meetings, teamwork, computer work, eat, lounge. Before you rush out for new file folders and storage containers take out a paper and pen and draw a layout for your office, dividing it into zones.
Furniture will probably be the biggest indicator of which zone is meant for which activity, so decide what you'll need, and pencil that in first. Next, decide what equipment, supplies and accessories are necessary for that activity, and designate a home for them. A meeting room needs a white board, and the supplies for a whiteboard. Does it needs pens, legal pads, bottles of water perhaps? Make sure, there's space in the meeting area to handle those supplies.
This method of organization is so intuitive that not only is keeping it neat a pleasure, but when you walk in, it gives a refreshing feeling of purpose and order. So what first – the blocks or the cooking corner?


Massive strength and careful engineering make the Diamant Grain Mill one of the finest hand-turned mills in the world.
After analyzing dozens of mills, this one emerges head and shoulders above the rest. It is beautiful, high-performing and, since it is made entirely of cast iron, it will far outlast lighter aluminum mills. The Diamant is equally at home in a farmer's barn cracking bushels of corn for livestock, or in a baker's kitchen milling fine flour for delicate pastries.
Unique Pre-Grinding System for Superior Results - Only the Diamant has it! Several blunt pre-grinding "teeth" gently mash grain. When it gets to the auger it's perfectly prepared for a smoother, more even grind. Competitor models use an impractical spring arrangement that's not nearly as effective and completely lacks the elegant engineering of the Diamant.
Solid cast iron - built to last with little maintenance!
Thousands sold worldwide since 1920!
Grinds fast and fine - Extra large burrs churn out flour as fine as store-bought 20% faster and much more easily than any other hand-turned mill on the market.
Grinds virtually anything - Corn, beans, and most oily materials can be ground without using a special auger. Grinds all grains, many spices, legumes, beans, nuts (except peanuts) and seeds without changing burrs! Make flour, meal, coffee, sesame tahini, cereal or animal feed. Specially engineered iron/steel burrs grind just as fine as other mills' stone burrs – and they eliminate stone grit in your flour.

Man charged with 7th OWI after suspected use of heroin
Plymouth resident found slumped over steering wheel outside Fredonia McDonald's
DAN BENSON
Ozaukee Press staff
A Plymouth man was charged last week with his seventh offense of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated after Ozaukee County Sheriff's deputies found him slumped over his steering wheel in his car and later, authorities said, confessed to having injected himself with heroin.
According to a criminal complaint filed in Ozaukee County Circuit:
A woman called police after she found Anthony C. Niemuth, 32, asleep in his parked car just before 11 p.m. on Saturday, July 14, in a car lot near the intersection of highways 57 and K. Niemuth told her he hadn't been drinking and drove off.
A half hour later, a deputy found Niemuth again asleep in his car parked in the McDonald's restaurant parking lot in Fredonia. The car was not running but the key was in the "on" position.
In his lap was a syringe that appeared to have been used and in the seat next to him was an unmarked pill bottle that appeared to contain Xanax. Niemuth was extremely lethargic and spoke very slowly.
When emergency personnel arrived, Niemuth told them he had taken methadone that morning and later had taken heroin.
Court records show that Niemuth had been convicted of operating while intoxicated six times before in Sheboygan, Manitowoc and Ozaukee counties, that his driving privileges had been revoked and that he was free on bail on a drug charge in Sheboygan County at the time with the condition that he not possess or use illegal drugs or drug paraphernalia.
In addition to operating while intoxicated, which is a felony, Niemuth is charged with misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance, bail jumping and driving with a revoked license. If convicted on all charges, he could be sentenced up to 13 years and four months behind bars.
Niemuth is in custody in the Ozaukee County jail. Bond is set at $20,000. He is next due in court Sept. 18.

This article presents supported deployment configurations for SQL Server Always On availability groups on Linux servers. An availability group supports high availability and data protection. Automatic failure detection, automatic failover, and transparent reconnection after failover provide high availability. Synchronized replicas provide data protection.
On a Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC), a common configuration for high availability uses two synchronous replicas and a third server or file share to provide quorum. The file-share witness validates the availability group configuration - status of synchronization, and the role of the replica, for example. This configuration ensures that the secondary replica chosen as the failover target has the latest data and availability group configuration changes.
The WSFC synchronizes configuration metadata for failover arbitration between the availability group replicas and the file-share witness. When an availability group is not on a WSFC, the SQL Server instances store configuration metadata in the master database.
For example, an availability group on a Linux cluster has CLUSTER_TYPE = EXTERNAL. There is no WSFC to arbitrate failover. In this case the configuration metadata is managed and maintained by the SQL Server instances. Because there is no witness server in this cluster, a third SQL Server instance is required to store configuration state metadata. All three SQL Server instances together provide distributed metadata storage for the cluster.
The cluster manager can query the instances of SQL Server in the availability group, and orchestrate failover to maintain high availability. In a Linux cluster, Pacemaker is the cluster manager.
SQL Server 2017 CU 1 enables high availability for an availability group with CLUSTER_TYPE = EXTERNAL for two synchronous replicas plus a configuration only replica. The configuration only replica can be hosted on any edition of SQL Server 2017 CU1 or later - including SQL Server Express edition. The configuration only replica maintains configuration information about the availability group in the master database but does not contain the user databases in the availability group.
SQL Server 2017 introduces the REQUIRED_SYNCHRONIZED_SECONDARIES_TO_COMMIT cluster resource setting. This setting guarantees the specified number of secondary replicas write the transaction data to log before the primary replica commits each transaction. When you use an external cluster manager, this setting affects both high availability and data protection. The default value for the setting depends on the architecture at the time the cluster resource is created. When you install the SQL Server resource agent - mssql-server-ha - and create a cluster resource for the availability group, the cluster manager detects the availability group configuration and sets REQUIRED_SYNCHRONIZED_SECONDARIES_TO_COMMIT accordingly.
If supported by the configuration, the resource agent parameter REQUIRED_SYNCHRONIZED_SECONDARIES_TO_COMMIT is set to the value that provides high availability and data protection. For more information, see Understand SQL Server resource agent for pacemaker.
The following sections explain the default behavior for the cluster resource.
Choose an availability group design to meet specific business requirements for high availability, data protection, and read-scale.
The following configurations describe the availability group design patterns and the capabilities of each pattern. These design patterns apply to availability groups with CLUSTER_TYPE = EXTERNAL for high availability solutions.
This configuration consists of three synchronous replicas. By default, it provides high availability and data protection. It can also provide read-scale.
An availability group with three synchronous replicas can provide read-scale, high availability, and data protection. The following table describes availability behavior.
Primary outage Automatic failover. New primary is R/W. Automatic failover. New primary is R/W. Automatic failover. New primary is not available for user transactions until former primary recovers and joins availability group as secondary.
One secondary replica outage Primary is R/W. No automatic failover if primary fails. Primary is R/W. No automatic failover if primary fails as well. Primary is not available for user transactions.
This configuration enables data protection. Like the other availability group configurations, it can enable read-scale. The two synchronous replicas configuration does not provide automatic high availability. A two replica configuration is only applicable to SQL Server 2017 RTM and is no longer supported with higher (CU1 and beyond) versions of SQL Server 2017..
An availability group with two synchronous replicas provides read-scale and data protection. The following table describes availability behavior.
Primary outage Manual failover. Might have data loss. New primary is R/W. Automatic failover. New primary is not available for user transactions until former primary recovers and joins availability group as secondary.
One secondary replica outage Primary is R/W, running exposed to data loss. Primary is not available for user transactions until secondary recovers.
Synchronous replication of user data to the secondary replica. It also includes availability group configuration metadata.
Synchronous replication of availability group configuration metadata. It does not include user data.
In the availability group diagram, a primary replica pushes configuration data to both the secondary replica and the configuration only replica. The secondary replica also receives user data. The configuration only replica does not receive user data. The secondary replica is in synchronous availability mode. The configuration only replica does not contain the databases in the availability group - only metadata about the availability group. Configuration data on the configuration only replica is committed synchronously.
An availabilility group with configuration only replica is new for SQL Server 2017 CU1. All instances of SQL Server in the availability group must be SQL Server 2017 CU1 or later.
The default value for REQUIRED_SYNCHRONIZED_SECONDARIES_TO_COMMIT is 0. The following table describes availability behavior.
Primary outage Automatic failover. New primary is R/W. Automatic failover. New primary is not available for user transactions.
Secondary replica outage Primary is R/W, running exposed to data loss (if primary fails and cannot be recovered). No automatic failover if primary fails as well. Primary is not available for user transactions. No replica to fail over to if primary fails as well.
Configuration only replica outage Primary is R/W. No automatic failover if primary fails as well. Primary is R/W. No automatic failover if primary fails as well.
Synchronous secondary + configuration only replica outage Primary is not available for user transactions. No automatic failover. Primary is not available for user transactions. No replica to failover to if primary fails as well.
The instance of SQL Server that hosts the configuration only replica can also host other databases. It can also participate as a configuration only database for more than one availability group.
All replicas in an availability group with a configuration only replica must be SQL Server 2017 CU 1 or later.
Any edition of SQL Server can host a configuration only replica, including SQL Server Express.
The availability group needs at least one secondary replica - in addition to the primary replica.
Configuration only replicas do not count towards the maximum number of replicas per instance of SQL Server. SQL Server standard edition allows up to three replicas, SQL Server Enterprise Edition allows up to 9.
No more than one configuration only replica per availability group.
A configuration only replica cannot be a primary replica.
You cannot modify the availability mode of a configuration only replica. To change from a configuration only replica to a synchronous or asynchronous secondary replica, remove the configuration only replica, and add a secondary replica with the required availability mode.
A configuration only replica is synchronous with the availability group metadata. There is no user data.
An availability group with one primary replica and one configuration only replica, but no secondary replica is not valid.
You cannot create an availability group on an instance of SQL Server Express edition.
SQL Server 2017 CTP 1.4 added sequence_number to sys.availability_groups to allow Pacemaker to identify how up-to-date secondary replicas are with the primary replica. sequence_number is a monotonically increasing BIGINT that represents how up-to-date the local availability group replica is. Pacemaker updates the sequence_number with each availability group configuration change. Examples of configuration changes include failover, replica addition, or removal. The number is updated on the primary, then replicated to secondary replicas. Thus a secondary replica that has up-to-date configuration has the same sequence number as the primary.
When Pacemaker decides to promote a replica to primary, it first sends a pre-promote notification to all replicas. The replicas return the sequence number. Next, when Pacemaker actually tries to promote a replica to primary, the replica only promotes itself if its sequence number is the highest of all the sequence numbers. If its own sequence number does not match the highest sequence number, the replica rejects the promote operation. In this way only the replica with the highest sequence number can be promoted to primary, ensuring no data loss.
This process requires at least one replica available for promotion with the same sequence number as the previous primary. The Pacemaker resource agent sets REQUIRED_SYNCHRONIZED_SECONDARIES_TO_COMMIT such that at least one synchronous secondary replica is up-to-date and available to be the target of an automatic failover by default. With each monitoring action, the value of REQUIRED_SYNCHRONIZED_SECONDARIES_TO_COMMIT is computed (and updated if necessary). The REQUIRED_SYNCHRONIZED_SECONDARIES_TO_COMMIT value is 'number of synchronous replicas' divided by 2. At failover time, the resource agent requires (total number of replicas - REQUIRED_SYNCHRONIZED_SECONDARIES_TO_COMMIT replicas) to respond to the pre-promote notification. The replica with the highest sequence_number is promoted to primary.
For example, An availability group with three synchronous replicas - one primary replica and two synchronous secondary replicas.
REQUIRED_SYNCHRONIZED_SECONDARIES_TO_COMMIT is 1; (3 / 2 -> 1).
The required number of replicas to respond to pre-promote action is 2; (3 - 1 = 2).
In this scenario, two replicas have to respond for the failover to be triggered. For successful automatic failover after a primary replica outage, both secondary replicas need to be up-to-date and respond to the pre-promote notification. If they are online and synchronous, they have the same sequence number. The availability group promotes one of them. If only one of the secondary replicas responds to the pre-promote action, the resource agent cannot guarantee that the secondary that responded has the highest sequence_number, and a failover is not triggered.
When REQUIRED_SYNCHRONIZED_SECONDARIES_TO_COMMIT is 0 there is risk of data loss. During a primary replica outage, the resource agent does not automatically trigger a failover. You can either wait for primary to recover, or manually fail over using FORCE_FAILOVER_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS.
You can choose to override the default behavior, and prevent the availability group resource from setting REQUIRED_SYNCHRONIZED_SECONDARIES_TO_COMMIT automatically.
The following script sets REQUIRED_SYNCHRONIZED_SECONDARIES_TO_COMMIT to 0 on an availability group named <**ag1**>. Before you run replace <**ag1**> with the name of your availability group.
When you run the preceding commands, the primary is temporarily demoted to secondary, then promoted again. The resource update causes all replicas to stop and restart. The new value forREQUIRED_SYNCHRONIZED_SECONDARIES_TO_COMMIT is only set once replicas are restarted, not instantaneously.


The early history of the automobile can be divided into plenty of eras, primarily based on the prevalent means of propulsion. Oldsmobile had a production line up and running in 1902 and would dominate this era of automobile manufacturing. Advanced applied sciences will probably be significant in helping the auto trade to attain the 5.three megatonne discount goal for greenhouse gas emissions from gentle obligation automobiles in Canada.
The 2016 New York Auto Present has begun, and AUTOMOBILE editors picked 7 highlights from the show, together with the Nissan GTR, Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Cabriolet. Henry Ford acknowledged that the automobile would be extra profitable as a volume enterprise than as a niche product.

Australian Jewry offers condolences
April 17, 2013 by J-Wire Staff
The Australian Jewish community has proffered condolences to the United States following fatal bombings in Boston.
The Executive Council of Australian Jewry has sent a message of condolence to Jeffrei Bleich, the United States Ambassador to Australia following the bombings that claimed three lives and caused enormous injuries to others during the Boston marathon.
We were shocked and appalled to learn of the double-bombing that occurred at the Boston Marathon yesterday. In addition to those who tragically died or were injured, thousands more have no doubt been traumatised. The description of this crime as "terrorism" is entirely appropriate. We cannot begin to imagine what kind of sick or evil minds would have conceived of wreaking murder and mayhem at a popular sporting event.
Both personally and on behalf of our organisation, please accept, and convey to the American government, our sincere condolences. The Jewish community joins with our fellow Australians in expressing our complete support for, and solidarity with, the American people in the wake of this dreadful atrocity.

With warm weather, blue sky and calm sea, everything was set up perfect for a little exploration trip. So i decided to go scuba diving and discover Vietnams marine life.
There are some great dive spots, like the mushroom bay, where coral formations at the edge of the reef are creating beautiful landscapes and are home to many fish and crustaceans.
Dive trips are very cheap in Vietnam! It is one of the cheapest places I have seen so far, but the quality of the equipment is very high.
If you decide to travel between Nha Trang and Ho Chi Minh, you can go by so-called open tour bus! It's very cheap as well, around 15 dollars per person, the buses are all new and in a good condition. Instead of seats, there are beds installed, where you can spend a comfortable night!
Such an awesome little read! I'm off to Vietnam within the next few weeks – was super stoked about the taxi incident! Well done for reacting well, must of been a pretty scary experience! Like we all say.. It's all part of the adventure!
Such a great difference between the vibrant Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and Hanoi which hopefully is emerging from the drabness I saw by way of comparison when I made my last visit long ago.
Saigon feels like being in a different country if you compare it to Hanoi. When have you been to Vietnam?
Last visit was 1995 before I transferred from Asia in 1996 returning to Australia.

Guild Care has a new range of respite services to help carers
Guild Care
Guild Care has a new range of respite services to help carers recharge their batteries.
West Sussex County Council has awarded its respite and short breaks for carers contract in Worthing to local charity Guild Care.
Trevor is living with dementia and uses the Bradbury Wellbeing Centre, which he says is a 'very valuable' service
Guild Care already provides a range of Time Out services for carers and the people they care for, particularly those living with dementia. This new contract means it can now expand those services to help more people in the area.
The new range of Time Out services will include group activities based at its Bradbury Wellbeing Centre and its Guild Care Centre, group outings in and around Worthing and a range of social opportunities for people to get together.
These respite services will be available for carers of people living with dementia, as well as the frail and elderly, and will all be provided with support from well-trained and caring staff, in a safe, secure and caring environment. A door-to-door transport pick up service is also available.
Suzanne Millard, Guild Care' chief executive said: "We are delighted that we have been awarded the contract to deliver respite and short breaks for carers in Worthing.
Sieg uses several of Guild Care's Time Out services
"Guild Care has a long tradition of supporting people with dementia and the elderly.
"We know the expansion of our services will make a real difference to carers in Worthing giving them the break from caring that they need to recharge their batteries and have some time to themselves."
Trevor, who visits the Bradbury Wellbeing Centre, said: "As I'm living with dementia, being able to come here gives my wife time to go shopping or meet friends socially. She knows I am safely being picked up and dropped home again by their transport team, so she doesn't need to worry. This service is very valuable to us."
Patti's father Sieg also uses several of Guild Care's Time Out services.
She said: "The best thing about these services is that I know dad is happy and being stimulated. I am very much a believer that if you keep your mind stimulated, it helps stop the decline."
To find out more about Guild Care's new range of respite services for carers, please contact the customer services team on 01903 327327, email enquiry@guildcare.org or visit the website www.guildcare.org.
The charity has been providing vital services to support children and adults in need since 1933, making a difference to the lives of the people in Worthing and its surrounding areas since it was first established by a small team of volunteers.
Volunteer drivers needed to save Littlehampton club from closure
Today, the charity runs three care homes and more than 30 community services helping more than 3,000 people of all ages each year. Stories from people who have benefited from one or more of it lifeline services are on the Guild Care website.

All four Gospels mention John the Baptist as the forerunner of Jesus, the feeding of the five thousand, the triumphal entry, the last supper, and the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. The women who have followed Jesus come to the tomb on Sunday morning; they find it empty, and are told by a young man in a white robe to go and tell the others that Jesus has risen and has gone before them to Galilee; "but they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid As a result of its proximity to original sources, the Gospel of Mark has transformed from a book disregarded for its lowly prose to one of the most important books in the New Testament.

Two consecutive healing stories of women; both make use of the number twelve Mark 5: A man with a withered hand was made whole when he encountered Jesus in a synagogue.
Because Jesus often said similar things in different contexts, most of these duplicate sayings are not shown as conceptual parallels. To Mark, nothing less than blindness and deafness could have caused people to reject Jesus' mission, which was so obviously in harmony with the divine will.
Luke may possibly have developed John Mark in the book of Acts not only for literary reasons within the book, but because he was a source which Luke used 4.
We do not know what else Mark may have said concerning the appearances of Jesus after the resurrection, for the original ending of his gospel has been lost.
His public ministry was preceded by a period of temptation in the wilderness. Only 31 verses in Mark have no parallel in either Matthew or Luke.The Gospel of Mark records with as much accuracy as possible the main events of the life and teachings of Jesus.
A record of this kind furnished evidence to support the belief that Jesus was the true Messiah; by believing in Jesus, people could obtain salvation. Who wrote the book? The Bible records more information about Mark than any of the other gospel writers aside from the apostle John.

Social engineering is a term used for techniques to trick, or con, users into giving out information to someone that should not have it. In this paper we discuss and model various notions related to social engineering. By using a broad, cross disciplinary approach, we present a conceptual model of the different kinds of social engineering attacks, and their preparation, the victim and the perpetrator, as well as the cultural aspects. By using this approach a better general understanding of social engineering can be reached. The model is also a good tool for teaching about and protecting against social engineering attacks.

More info about compatibility. my machine MacBookPro5,2 MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2009) - Technical Specifications [url]http://support.apple.com/kb/SP546?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US[/url] 1067 MHz ram. 8GB kit (4GBx2) DDR3 PC3 8500 1067MHz for your 2009 / 2010 Apple Macbook Pro & iMac [url]http://www.amazon.co.uk/memory-upgrades-1067Mhz-Macbook-laptop/dp/B004TQGF1E[/url] MacBook5,2. Those MacBooks, which still feature the legacy pre-unibody case design and were manufactured in early- to mid-2009, are supported in Mountain Lion because they feature an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics card instead of the integrated Intel GPUs in their predecessors. Mountain Lion will only run on the following Macs: iMac (mid 2007 or later) MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later) MacBook Pro (Mid/late 2007 or later) MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later) Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later) Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later) Xserve (Early 2009) Not be able to run Mountain Lion (model identifiers in parentheses): Late 2006 iMacs (iMac5,1, iMac5,2, iMac6,1) All plastic MacBooks that pre-date the aluminum unibody redesign (MacBook2,1, MacBook3,1, MacBook4,1) MacBook Pros released prior to June 2007 (MacBookPro2,1, MacBookPro2,2) The original MacBook Air (MacBookAir1,1) The Mid-2007 Mac mini (Macmini2,1) The original Mac Pro and its 8-core 2007 refresh (MacPro1,1, MacPro2,1) Late 2006 and Early 2008 Xserves (Xserve1,1, Xserve2,1) Update: It slipped my mind that there were two pre-unibody plastic MacBooks introduced between the aluminum MacBook and the plastic unibody redesign, both of them with the model identifier MacBook5,2. Those MacBooks, which still feature the legacy pre-unibody case design and were manufactured in early- to mid-2009, are supported in Mountain Lion because they feature an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics card instead of the integrated Intel GPUs in their predecessors. Taken from here [url]http://www.tuaw.com/2012/02/16/mountain-lion-drops-support-for-several-older-mac-models/[/url] The fact that even identical models work/don't is tripped by "hardware" and 3rd party influences, pretty sure of that. There are cases of lag going back quite a while, not sure if its related to todays issues. Lets hope the fix is quickly released. [solved] is good to see.
more info guys, "Apple has significantly altered the architecture of the graphics subsystem in Mountain Lion, cleaning up the interface between OpenGL and drivers in order to implement upcoming support for OpenGL 4.2. OS X currently supports version 3.2, and the lack of support for the latest version shows when comparing performance with Windows."

I've had a chance to browse some of the posts here on the forum and I'd like to join the rest of the community in thanking the team of instructors for their outstanding work. Every time I visit the site there is something new to digest. Hub is without doubt a great description of the resources here. I'm halfway through the MIDI 101: MIDI Demystified and I'm loving it. I'll get round to adding comments to the makers of all the movies I've collected, but just in case, thanks again to you all. My movie collection is expanding and I'm pretty sure the macProVideos will be taking up the majority of space on my iCloud when it becomes available. The logicprohelp forum and this site are really opening up my introduction to Mac OS X and Logic Pro. I've a long way to go but the learning journey is a pleasure. There is one video I'd like to request. A movie dedicated to the score editor in Logic Pro 9. Maybe something along the lines of starting with the default orchestral template and making customizations and variations to create a personal score template. Setting instruments and environments related to score functions and working with the score workflow. These are just ideas but I'm quite sure you know best on the format needed. I'm sure the movie would become a special, there isn't anything around for users like myself to use in this area. The books I have are brilliant, "David Nahmani" and the articles in your Hub section are tasters of what I believe would make a truly amazing movie. If you do grant my request you can put me down for two copies, one from iTunes for my iPad and one from the app store for my MacBook Pro. Cheers! Dave.
No movie yet Rounik 8-) just wanted to bump this thread instead of typing all my first post again.. All still goes! the Hub 8-) os x movie apps and iPad apps 8-) Special Thanks to the Guys in tech support who helped me tremendously with iPad1 issues. The movie would be good, because the hub tutorials, movies and educational material is amazing, Cheers!

Optima is a London based Triathlon Club. Our club caters for all abilities of triathletes from beginner to professional athletes and all ages. The Optima Racing Team's set up offers the most comprehensive coaching system for age group athletes in the country. Our head coach is James Beckinsale who is BTA L3 qualified and started triathlon coaching at Thames Turbo in 1998. James is also the London Region Academy Coach.
Optima Racing Team was set up in 2000 by James Beckinsale. James had been coaching at a larger club, but found that in this environment the coaching was spread thinly, with no real opportunity to focus on the individual requirements of the athletes.
Since its inception the club has grown consistently year on year, including the addition of a junior section in 2005 (see junior page). The results in our coaching process are measured through the success of both our seniors and juniors at regional, national and global level.
Head Coach James Beckinsale has also picked up a number of accolades, including winning the British Triathlon Federation's regional and national coach of the year in 2006/2007. James also set up and is head coach of British Triathlon's London Academy.
Optima Racing Team is a member of the British Triathlon Federation and new and existing club members are encouraged to join their relevant Home Nation Association to take advantage of the benefits that membership offers.

Caught amid the currents of progress, I tether to sustainable convictions. The waters rise, the soil darkens, and up springs new life. Soul searching in the quite hours prompts balance. With each new day, I brave the tide. I meditate on ways that, together, we may rise.
The season inspires the writing of new chapters. I've taken my class studio beyond the corridor. Into the schools, a new extension of community cultural outreach has been forged. I began this endeavor with a principle desire to provide more, something of resonant necessity at its core. Through recognition of abilities and common threads of compassion, we can all learn how capable we really are.
In Smiths Station area schools, local educators recognized a need. Through desire to provide creative, sustainable solutions, we found the answer in empathy. This spring, the Sarah West Artistic Mentoring Program was introduced in participating local schools, as part of the after school extended day opportunities. In debut season, fine art mentors, enrolled students and school faculty have experienced the positive and influential role that art plays in our life; shared through school, home and work. At the beginning and end of each new week, art mentors and students gather together to explore, learn, create and meditate in thoughtful creativity.
As the school years ends, fine art students from Wacoochee and West Smiths Station Elementary Schools, will prepare to share a selection of recent works with the community. During the summer months, rotating exhibitions at Smiths Station City Hall Art Galleries will feature Meditative Paintings and Fundamental Drawings created by these students. These unique exhibitions exemplify the ongoing endeavors for sustainability, cultural involvements, and artistic achievement encouraged and supported by our community, leaders, educators and advocates.
In addition, through continued collaboration with area educators, the Sarah West Gallery of Fine Art has announced, After School Art Classes will return to Wacoochee and West Smiths Station Elementary Schools for the next full calendar school year. The Sarah West Artistic Mentoring Program will host four seasons of After School Art Classes August 2018- May 2019. Early Enrollment is now open. To learn more about this program or to inquire about student enrollment, the Sarah West Gallery of Fine Art welcomes your visit, call and invites you to explore the Community Events Calendar in this edition.
← Tim Cole: Are you operating in true faith?


Justice Carol Corrigan is the chair of the Futures Commission.
The Commission on the Future of California's Courts has sent an interim report to Chief Justice Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye proposing a method to reallocate vacant judgeships to courts with the greatest workload needs.
A 2014 judicial needs study evaluated the impact of growth and shifts in population on local courts' ability to adjudicate civil, criminal, juvenile, and family law cases. The study found that California needs nearly 270 new judgeships to adequately operate the courts and serve the public. It also found that shifts in population have left some courts disproportionately affected.
The Futures Commission proposal suggests that legislation could partially address the problem. When a current judicial position becomes open, it could be reallocated to another court, if the need is greater there. The proposal would not change the Legislature's authority to create and fund judgeships or the Governor's authority to appoint judges.
