Generate reports with SSRS - SQL Server Reporting Services: This session will be a cornucopia of three sub-sessions. The first part will be to convince the skeptics. Why does every organization should consider SQL Server Reporting as part of its front-end solution? What will SSRS do better than a typical web application/site or a client-server application? The second portion will be a quick demo of the possibility and will be the shortest. The final part will talk about the best practices, tips from the field and will cover the implementation techniques.

15 Ways to Kill Your Mysql Application Performanceguest9912e5
Jay is the North American Community Relations Manager at MySQL. Author of Pro MySQL, Jay has also written articles for Linux Magazine and regularly assists software developers in identifying how to make the most effective use of MySQL. He has given sessions on performance tuning at the MySQL Users Conference, RedHat Summit, NY PHP Conference, OSCON and Ohio LinuxFest, among others.In his abundant free time, when not being pestered by his two needy cats and two noisy dogs, he daydreams in PHP code and ponders the ramifications of __clone().
In today's high technology environment, organizations are becoming more and more dependent on their information systems. The public is increasingly concerned about the proper use of data and information. Most Organizations like banks, airlines, markets, manufactures and universities widely used computer systems to manage, manipulate and process their information. Many of today's most widely used computer systems are database applications, for example, Amazon, which was built on top of MySQL. Database application is involved like everywhere in our world, it touches all aspects of our lives.
A database application is a computer program whose primary purpose is entering and retrieving information from a computerized database. Early examples of database applications were accounting systems and airline reservations systems.
The aim of this course is to explore fundamentals of database application related to MySQL, phpMyAdmin, MySQL command lines, apache server and PHP Maker. It details the relational database principles. It shows how to build and develop database application with web interface.
Upon completion of this course, computer students will have gained knowledge of database application concepts and the ability to:
Must know the basic concepts related relational database application.
Must know how to manage relational database via using MySQL command line and phpMyAdmin.
Must know how to build database application with web interface by using MySQL and PHPMaker.
A combination of lectures and practical sessions will be used in this course in order to achieve the aim of the course.

Row Level Security (RLS) enables implementation of row-level access restrictions in SQL Server. RLS uses predicate functions to define the security logic and filters rows for queries based on that logic. Security predicates bind the predicate functions to tables and are defined as filter predicates to silently filter rows or blocking predicates to prevent write operations. Best practices include keeping the security logic simple and on separate schemas for maintenance. RLS has some limitations including incompatibility with Filestream and Polybase.
This document provides an overview of SQL Server Reporting Services including key terminology, architecture, features, and the report creation process.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
The cost of acquiring information by natural selectionCarl Bergstrom
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

Anti-Universe And Emergent Gravity and the Dark UniverseSérgio Sacani
Recent theoretical progress indicates that spacetime and gravity emerge together from the entanglement structure of an underlying microscopic theory. These ideas are best understood in Anti-de Sitter space, where they rely on the area law for entanglement entropy. The extension to de Sitter space requires taking into account the entropy and temperature associated with the cosmological horizon. Using insights from string theory, black hole physics and quantum information theory we argue that the positive dark energy leads to a thermal volume law contribution to the entropy that overtakes the area law precisely at the cosmological horizon. Due to the competition between area and volume law entanglement the microscopic de Sitter states do not thermalise at sub-Hubble scales: they exhibit memory effects in the form of an entropy displacement caused by matter. The emergent laws of gravity contain an additional ‘dark’ gravitational force describing the ‘elastic’ response due to the entropy displacement. We derive an estimate of the strength of this extra force in terms of the baryonic mass, Newton’s constant and the Hubble acceleration scale a0 = cH0, and provide evidence for the fact that this additional ‘dark gravity force’ explains the observed phenomena in galaxies and clusters currently attributed to dark matter.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

2. Backstory
July 2002 devastated Canyon Lake
A gorge as deep as 9-10m was excavated from what used to be ground level in <1 week
Exposed a large extent of the Glen Rose formation, in addition to Hidden Valley Fault
Tons of fossils, in addition to a dinosaur footprint
4. Initial Idea
Note locations, and map the lithologies of as many of the rock layers as I could when we went to
Canyon Lake Gorge for ESCI 506 field trip
Point feature class for all fossils seen
Line feature class for the Hidden Valley fault
5. Problems with initial idea
Some of the rock layers are quite thin, and would not be worth turning into a feature
Other lithologies are not expressed on the gorge’s floor (would not be viewable from satellite)
Phone (which I was using as a GPS) kept losing connectivity in the gorge, so had to guesstimate
extent of some of the strata.
Solution:
Map only the high-frequency sequences (six) which are detailed in the paper; demarcate when I
can find a maximum flooding surface.
Ended up with a single shapefile for the HFS; a point shapefile for fossils / other interesting
biomarkers; a polyline for the Hidden Valley fault traces; polygons for lakes in gorge.
7. Worse problem:
Apparently everything worth doing in Canyon Lake Gorge has already been done before.
Tons of literature; and when I looked at Southwest Research Institute’s papers about geologic
extent for the strata Bill Ward mentioned, some of my guesstimations didn’t align with theirs.
Assessments have already been made of rock layer where fossils are most abundant (the Salenia
interval), least abundant (the Corbula interval), how long the Gorge is (3,800ft), and what
volume of material is estimated to have been washed away during the big flood.
…So that sucked.

11. Ventana at Midtown
Built in 2002
282 Units
Price Range:
◦ $980 (600 sqft) - $4450 (2630 sqft)

bedroom apartments or townhouses
Made out of concrete
Security: RFID key fob; key card; apartment
key; clicker to enter into the parking garage;

22. Obtaining the Data
Houston Police Department’s Neighborhood (Police Beat) Crime Statistics
◦ http://www.houstontx.gov/police/cs/beatpages/beat_stats.htm
Also used the City of Houston’s “ROADS” shapefile, obtainable via the Open Data Portal
◦ http://data.ohouston.org/dataset/city-roads
23. Data for 10H40
7,445 entries since June 2009
Averages out to ~108 crimes per month (3-4
per day)
Zip codes included:
◦ 77002
◦ 77003
◦ 77004
◦ 77006
24. Attribute data per crime
Date
Hour (0 – midnight, 23 – 11:00pm)
Offense Type
◦ Murder
◦ Rape
◦ Robbery
◦ Aggravated Assault
◦ Burglary
◦ Theft
◦ Auto Theft
Beat
Premise Code
Block Range
Street Name
# of Offenses
25. Potential problems with the data
Not sure if “date” refers to “date the complaint was filed”, or “date the event occurred”.
Same for “hour” – is this the hour the crime was reported? Or the hour the crime occurred?
Two months were missing from the data set; some previous months’ data is intermixed
“UNK” values for block ranges occurred several times.
Changed format in 2010, which meant hand-manipulating columns. This could be easily solved
by using a web-scraping utility.
26. What are the most common crimes committed?
10H40 seems to get everything…
◦ Aggravated Assault – 511
◦ Auto Theft – 427
◦ Burglary – 554
◦ Murder – 4
◦ Rape – 45
◦ Robbery – 632
◦ Theft – 5,272
What the heck. Murder??
27. When are those crimes most likely to happen?
Using “Statistics”, I was able to see that most
crimes occur around midnight and between
4:00 – 6:00pm.
The least number of crimes occur between
3:00am and 6:00am.
Not quite sure why there would be such a
spike between 4:00 – 6:00pm – maybe
because so many people are headed home
from work and away from school?
28. Where are crimes most likely to happen?
Merged the “BLOCK RANGE” and “STREET
NAME” attributes in order to make a single
attribute called “Block_Street”
Did a “Summarize” on Block_Street to get the
count of crimes for each
Top instances (>100 crimes committed):
◦ 4200 – 4299 San Jacinto: 864
◦ 4200 – 4299 Main St: 566
◦ 2100 – 2199 Main St: 245
◦ 2400 – 2499 San Jacinto: 224
◦ 1000 – 1099 Elgin St: 147
◦ 2900 – 2999 Travis St: 114
◦ 4600 – 4699 Main St: 101
29. So how close is that to me?
Three of the most high-crime areas are located
fairly close to my apartment complex:
◦ 4200 – 4299 San Jacinto St - 864
◦ 4200 – 4299 Main St – 566
◦ 4600 – 4699 Main St – 101
This makes up 20.6% of the crimes that occur in
the 10H40 police beat – which is a ton, considering
how many city blocks the area covers.
30. Police Beat 10H40
Most of the crime appears to be occurring
along the MetroRail
Other areas close to the McGowen street
station would also be terrible places to live.
The Greyhound Station appears to have a very
high crime rate, as well.
In terms of safety, of the three MetroRail stops
in my vicinity, the HCC/Ensemble Theatre stop
has a lower crime rate than the Wheeler
Station stop or the McGowen Street station
stop.
31. Which MetroRail stop is the safest?
There are two MetroRail options for me when
I go to work or to school:
◦ Wheeler Station
◦ Ensemble / HCC Station
Both are equidistant from the Ventana.
It’s obvious to see, when mapped, that the safest
MetroRail station for me to go to – no matter what
time of day – is the HCC / Ensemble Theatre
Station.
32. Which route is the safest to walk to
work? When is the safest time?
Current route to work (as recommended by
Google Maps transportation routing):
◦ 4000 Fannin to 3800 Fannin
◦ 1100 Alabama to 1000 Alabama
◦ 3700 Main St to 3500 Main St
Crimes along this route: 160 (2.15%)
Safest Route – 104 crimes (1.4%)
◦ 4000 Fannin St to 3600 Fannin St
◦ 1100 Berry St to HCC Station
33. Which route is the safest to walk to
work? When is the safest time?
The most safe time to walk along the safest
route is between 3:00am and 5:00am
Zero crimes have been committed along the
Fannin Street route since 2009 for that time
frame
6 thefts, 2 burglaries, and 1 aggravated assault
have occurred between the hours of 7:00am –
9:00am along the Fannin Street route
When I normally walk to work, between 5:00
and 7:00 am, there has been 1 rape, 2 auto
thefts, and 1 theft.
4 out of 7,445 instances = not that bad.
34. Does that apply for coming back from
school and from work, as well?
The Fannin Street route is still the safest route,
even when coming back home from school or
from work.
Only 5 crimes have been committed from 8:00
– 10:00pm along that route in the last 6 years
(thefts, auto thefts, and burglary).
35. What time is most safe to buy groceries?
Never, really.
36. What time is most safe to buy groceries?
98.4% of the offenses occur when Fiesta is
open.
The offenses are concentrated all along the
perimeter of Fiesta’s parking lot – which
makes me think that folks are likely watching
how people pay for their groceries, then lifting
wallets.
37. Which side of the Ventana is most
dangerous? Least dangerous?
Four sides of the Ventana apartment complex:
◦ 3900 – 4000 Fannin Street
◦ 3900 – 4000 San Jacinto Street
◦ 1000 – 1200 Truxillo Street
◦ 1000 – 1200 Cleburne Street
The most dangerous side of the Ventana is on San
Jacinto Street and Cleburne Street (like the guard said)
The least dangerous sides are on Fannin Street and
Truxillo Street.
38. Next Steps
Would love to have Google Maps incorporate this into their transit recommendations
◦ Pull the crime rates for given blocks from local police departments
◦ Assess time of day that the person wants to travel
◦ Route them around potentially dangerous areas
Would also like to have this done for the Rice University area, and the area around my current workplace
(1500 Louisiana St).
This would also be incredibly valuable for bicyclists, and for folks who participate in Critical Mass each
month. There was a problem recently with airsoft guns being shot at passing cyclists…
Which types of premises are the most susceptible to crime in this area?
