![]() Most of the large impact basins and mare surfaces were in place by the end of the Imbrian period, some three billion years ago. The near side of the Moon is marked by dark volcanic maria ("seas"), which fill the spaces between bright ancient crustal highlands and prominent impact craters. ![]() It receded to a wider orbit because of tidal interaction with the Earth. The most widely accepted origin explanation posits that the Moon formed 4.51 billion years ago, not long after Earth's formation, out of the debris from a giant impact between Earth and a hypothesized Mars-sized body called Theia. Due to cyclical shifts in perspective ( libration), 59% of the lunar surface is visible from Earth. The Moon is tidally locked to Earth, which means that the length of a full rotation of the Moon on its own axis causes its same side ( the near side) to always face Earth, and the somewhat longer lunar day is the same as the synodic period. During each synodic period of 29.5 days, the amount of visible surface illuminated by the Sun varies from none up to 100%, resulting in lunar phases that form the basis for the months of a lunar calendar. The Moon's orbit around Earth has a sidereal period of 27.3 days. Its gravitational influence is the main driver of Earth's tides and very slowly lengthens Earth's day. The Moon orbits Earth at an average distance of 384,400 km (238,900 mi), or about 30 times Earth's diameter. Its surface gravity is about one-sixth of Earth's at 0.1654 g- Jupiter's moon Io is the only satellite in the Solar System known to have a higher surface gravity and density. It lacks any significant atmosphere, hydrosphere, or magnetic field. The Moon is a planetary-mass object with a differentiated rocky body, making it a satellite planet under the geophysical definitions of the term.

The new software covers not just sales and marketing functions but also commerce, customer service and consumer data protection tools, which SAP sees as a weakness in older, largely sales-focused platforms as new European data rules take effect. As such, CRM has become a market too big for SAP to ignore, Barclays financial analysts said.ĬRM is an industry catch-all term for sales, marketing and customer service automation software - plus online commerce and analytic tools - that firms use to win and keep their customers. So-called Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools have surged to become the biggest category of business software, Gartner research shows. It’s the latest in a string of related deals including Callidus, Hybris, and Gigya. Toward that end, Europe’s biggest software firm said it had acquired CoreSystems, a Swiss firm specialising in customer service software, on undisclosed terms. SAP, the world leader in “back-office” financial control systems, on Tuesday is making its long-anticipated move to bring together all its “front office” software - combining a dozen separate customer-facing products and recent acquisitions - into a single integrated offering it will call C/4HANA. LONDON/BERLIN, June 5 (Reuters) - SAP is unveiling its biggest product makeover in years by rolling up its sales, marketing and customer service software into a suite of tools linked to its business planning system, as it tries to catch up with faster-growing rivals like Salesforce. In fact, if you add the price of servers, hosting, booth and travel expenses, and deduct my Google revenue and donations, APRS has probably cost me somewhere close to $100k, but that is spread out over 25 years, so not a completely outrageous hobby. But please do not present it in a way that implies there is any security or authentication on the APRS IS.Īs to charging, from my first APRS creation, javAPRS, my stuff has been free. If you choose to automatically generate the code to your paid users, great. SOmetime, if someone creates an APRS IS that is authenticated (people have been talking about various kinds of certificate systes since 2001) then by all means support it. I am opposed to anything that creates the impression there is. Importantly, in all the time since, there has been no hints of problems, no FCC investigation or NALs. Since that date, there has been absolutely no authentication on the APRS IS. For a while the APRS IS was small enough that I could actually watch and be sure there was no monkey business, but when it took off in the early 2000s I published the algorithm on the SIG. At that point there was no vestage of use to the 17 bit code. Initially Dale released the algorithm code as a pre-compiled module, but he soon was bitten by the purist bug, and decided to release the source code. Then Dale Heatherington created aprsd, and that was open source. ![]() Initially there were a handful of APRS clients, and they were all pay to play, and once you paid their code generated the APRS validation code, the user never saw it or even knew it existed. And in the days before google, that actually worked. To be authenticated on a NOS system you answered a question: "What is the standard offset in kHz for 2 meter repeaters?" Enter 600, and you had unfettered access to the system. The prior art which existed was NOS, the TCP over RF system that never became more than a fringe, but it was the only prior internet to ham system. Even in 1998 a 17 bit password was not secure. It was intended solely to meet FCC requirements for message forwarding, which required only that the user be a ham.įorgive a bit of a history lesson. It was never intended to be any kind of authentication system. I was the guy that created the APRS IS validation algorithm (because I created the APRS IS). ![]() Ultimately, I hope to use the license itself (which is actually an X.509 certificate) to securely connect to APRS-IS, but part of that process is positively identifying hams and establishing a level of trust. Once the license is installed, the passcode is automatically generated. Traditionally, you have to contact the software author to get a passcode. For example, you may notice that there is no place to enter in your passcode to connect to APRS-IS. ![]() > Part of the reason for the licensing process is so that I can ensure that people are real hams.

Even if you are a member of a losing team, own the portion you could have handled more appropriately. When you are involved in any failure, own it. You will be passed on for promotions, receive less pay than your peers and risk losing your job. This ends with your performance deteriorating. Inevitably, your team will return the favor and become less accountable to you. You start to develop a personal brand as someone not to be counted on. When you point to an excuse that was not an issue for a teammate, you lose their respect. Remember that your teammates are facing the same challenges, and finding ways to overcome those obstacles. Your manager will not be the only person annoyed by your lack of ownership. If you play the victim card, how can anyone be certain that you will learn and improve? By pointing your finger elsewhere, you accept that this failure will continue in the future. Once you admit your role in an obvious failure, there is typically nothing left to debate.Īny manager worth their salt will stop you in your tracks when you start to make excuses. Indeed, this individual could have put the mistake behind him by simply apologizing to the group, and being accountable. To lock in the lesson, the manager finishes with, “Why didn’t you just lead with that?” This is on me, and I regret making the people in this room wait.” It is also likely they might take a poor route, if not given specific guidance.” “So, you are aware that it is likely that an Uber driver might cancel.

The second driver showed up and took the wrong route.” I took an Uber and the first driver cancelled. Were you surprised that traffic was horrible?” Inevitably, this person will continue to dig a deeper hole. Given that you woke up early just to account for potentially bad traffic, how does this response make you feel? The manager who called the meeting isn’t buying the excuse. “Man, traffic was horrible this morning.” How they respond will go a long way in how that feeling continues. In some small way, you feel disrespected. What is your gut reaction when they walk through the door? The meeting starts and ten minutes later, someone shows up late. You prepare intently, leave home early, arrive in advance and make small talk with other attendees.

To start generating data, click on the Generate Data icon in the toolbar or hit F5. Depending on the relationship defined the data generation plan shows related tables and you can specify a ratio for related tables for data generation as shown below. You can choose which tables you want to generate test data and how many records you want to generate for each table. By default all the tables are included in the plan for data generation.

If it does not suffice your need or you have different business rules which can't be satisfied by using the built-in data generators, you can even create your own custom data generators too. You can change properties of these data generators to define the range and format of the data being generated as well. It uses several built in data generators which generate random data or generate data from other data sources as per your column data type. Data Generation Plan contains how you want your test data to be generated for your specific tables and columns. One of them is generating random test data using Data Generation Plan. Please refer to following tutorial for more examples on SQL Concatenation using FOR XML PATH() method.Visual Studio Database edition provides several features for database development and testing.

And copy and paste the below sql statements into the "External Source of SQL Data" query screen. Select the same database since both tables are on the same database. Then click the "Edit" button in order to select the database and edit the t-sql script. When you select " SQL Statement - Reads data from SELECT statement" from the list the Column generation settings will change as shown in the below screen-shot from the SQL Server tool.

All of these are available as programs directly on Linux or from cloud-based or SaaS alternatives. However, PC World calculates that much of enterprise computing involves QuickBooks Pro, Salesforce, Google Docs, Microsoft Office, Base Camp and Skype. There is a widespread but mistaken perception that Linux doesn’t offer the same applications and utilities as a typical Windows computer. SaaS apps + Linux means you don’t need Windows The price for proper enterprise-ready support still makes Linux desktop a much less expensive option. ![]() There’s also a big cost difference between deploying Linux and Windows: Linux itself is free, so it’s the distributor’s support that you’ll pay for. That ability might appeal to executives, but it raises the question of whether it’s really necessary or even a good idea. In addition, all of them can run Windows programs through virtual machines or subsystems such as Wine. Three of the five Linux distributions discussed offer reliable and professional-grade support, all have frequent updates to ensure that security exploits are addressed in a timely manner, and all have at least some level of corporate connectivity baked in. It’s a great time to explore enterprise-friendly Linux desktop options. PC World calls security “one of Linux's many advantages over Windows” and offers five reasons why it is more secure. Linux is often viewed as more secure, too. But in recent years Linux distributions have become far more sophisticated and user-friendly, and the cost of deployment can be a fraction of more traditional large-scale desktop installations. Relatively few companies consider the option of Linux on the desktop. Any inroads made against it have come from macOS X, typically in marketing and creative divisions. Microsoft Windows continues to rule the enterprise on the desktop. There’s a very good chance that the big iron that composes the backbone of your company’s digital world is powered by Linux.Ĭhances are also good that it’s not on many of your desktops, if any.
