We may not all enjoy the journey to get there, but once we arrive, everyone will be better for it. This site is for OCSD employees to have a chance to preview the program, ask questions, and get updates on the process. For district staff that uses the AS400 every day, it is a significant change. OCSD’s upgrade to FOCUS will impact every single employee, some very little and some a little more. Schools will notice the changes beginning in the spring and different parts of the FOCUS system will come online periodically until the completed system is fully operational in October 2022. The upgraded systems will streamline our education services while at the same time putting more information in the hands of parents than ever before. This migration will take critical student learning information and put it in the hands of our teachers and administrators literally at their fingertips. The Okaloosa County School Board is excited to modernize our Student, Finance, and Human Resources data infrastructure.

This supported application deployment for Java, Ruby on Rails, Sinatra, Node.js, and Scala, as well as database support for MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Postgres, RabbitMQ. On April 12, 2011, VMware released an open-source platform-as-a-service system called Cloud Foundry, as well as a hosted version of the service. In April 2011, EMC transferred control of the Mozy backup service to VMware. One result was the Cisco Nexus 1000V, a distributed virtual software switch, an integrated option in the VMware infrastructure. ![]() On September 16, 2008, VMware announced a collaboration with Cisco Systems. On September 10, 2008, Mendel Rosenblum, the company's co-founder, chief scientist, and the husband of Diane Greene, resigned. Greene had been CEO since the company's founding, ten years earlier. ![]() On July 8, 2008, after disappointing financial performance, the board of directors fired VMware co-founder, president and CEO Diane Greene, who was replaced by Paul Maritz, a 14-year Microsoft veteran who was heading EMC's cloud computing business unit. Shares were priced at US$29 per share and closed the day at US$51. On August 14, 2007, EMC sold 15% of VMware to the public via an initial public offering. On January 9, 2004, under the terms of the definitive agreement announced on December 15, 2003, EMC (now Dell EMC) acquired the company with $625 million in cash. In 2003, VMware launched VMware Virtual Center, vMotion, and Virtual Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP) technology. The first product, VMware Workstation, was delivered in May 1999, and the company entered the server market in 2001 with VMware GSX Server (hosted) and VMware ESX Server (hostless). The company was launched officially early in the second year, in February 1999, at the DEMO Conference organized by Chris Shipley. For the first year, VMware operated in stealth mode, with roughly 20 employees by the end of 1998. Edouard Bugnion remained the chief architect and CTO of VMware until 2005, and went on to found Nuova Systems (now part of Cisco). Greene and Rosenblum were both graduate students at the University of California, Berkeley. In 1998, VMware was founded by Diane Greene, Mendel Rosenblum, Scott Devine, Ellen Wang and Edouard Bugnion.

VMware ESXi, its enterprise software hypervisor, is an operating system that runs on server hardware. VMware's desktop software runs on Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS. VMware was the first commercially successful company to virtualize the x86 architecture. VMware LLC is an American cloud computing and virtualization technology company with headquarters in Palo Alto, California. Instead we will continue to invest in the current shipping versions, and will extend their support periods until December 2022, with new updates starting in October.Financials as of February 3, 2023 We also wanted to take the opportunity, since we’re so close to VMworld which has a bit of a different schedule this year, is to let folks know that we won’t be releasing a “paid upgrade” for either Fusion or Workstation this year as we often have. Join the Tech Preview Community Fusion and Workstation Fall Release Update We’re going to be keeping the Public Tech Preview active for at least the rest of this year and likely into spring, and so we won’t be pulling in these changes into our fall release, which means Fusion on Apple silicon is effectively FREE for all users for the time being. The scope and scale of this undertaking should not be understated, and the success of this project has been the result of a massive ongoing collaboration from many internal teams working together, entirely remotely as we do in this day in age. To deliver Fusion for Apple Silicon devices we’ve had to re-evaluate every part of the Fusion technology stack. With more than a year in development, and a few weeks of a successful Private Tech Preview, it’s finally time for us to show the world what we’ve been working on. It is with great pride and pleasure that we announce the public availability of VMware Fusion for Apple Silicon Public Tech Preview! 1/18/2024 0 Comments Starfall app reviewsBut the downside is, it is very teacher-intensive. It was a good approach, and it’s what I am training my little reading buddy army to do. When we finished the page, he got the animation. For any words he struggled with, I tapped as he read and let him pause and watch the guided sounding-out. Then I pressed the ear and let him enjoy the animation. If he was right, I did nothing and let him finish. I wanted Jack to sound out the words, not the iPad! So I developed a routine with him where on each page, I would point to the word and let Jack try it. But I found that Jack was much more interested in the little movies and animations than he was in doing actual reading. ![]() Then you press the arrow-which turns into the ‘short a’ and says the sound again-and move onto the next page. If you tap on the little musical ear icon, the voice reads the whole sentence, and then animates the illustration. If you tap on the word, a pop-up zooms in on it and highlights the letters while a voice audibly sounds them out, and then blends the sounds to make the word. ![]() There was a brief animation with a dancing ‘A’ and a song, and then it opened up the book. It was called ‘Zac the Rat’ and dealt with the ‘short A’ sound. I sat down with one of my senior kindergarten students (let’s call him ‘Jack’) and worked through the first lesson. There is a small bottom panel with some movies and animations which most of my students found quite catchy I am training my Grade 3/4 class to use this app in a ‘reading buddies’ function with some of the younger students, and even they were humming the songs when we were done. The bulk of the real estate is the series of phonics-based books and lessons. But it’s a nightmare to use in a classroom setting, so I appreciated I could just download the app, direct the student to where I wanted them to go, and then be underway. I understand that such features allow a teacher or parent to personalize the app and get more directed feedback. ![]() One thing I appreciated about this app was that I did not need to create accounts and log students in. So I downloaded Starfall Learn to Read and gave it a go. I wanted to do some extra phonics work with them to shore up these basic skills, and I thought an app would be more fun for them. I had a few who were borderline at Level 2-they were able to complete those books by heavily relying on the picture cues, but they were still weak on phonics and could not actually decode new words. Our school is heavily invested in the Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA) program, where students are assessed using a series of progressive readers. I have written already about some of my whole-class teaching. As I also teach Technology, I have had a few interesting opportunities to merge my two roles and use e-book apps to help improve my student’s reading. One of my hats this year has been as coordinator of my school’s reading program. 1/18/2024 0 Comments Commander synchronize folders![]() This would have taken about 8 times longer in the previous version.īTW, if you wonder about the 19,549 files/sec in the above screenshot: The total time of 1.32 secs includes not only the transfer but also the time needed to check 19,549 files in the target for possible deletion.

On a computer running Windows 10 Enterprise, start Group Policy Editor (GPEdit).Ģ. The first step is to generate the XML we need for Intune by modelling the policy on a Windows 10 computer.ġ. You can find all of our documentation on Windows AppLocker here, and in this post I’ll walk you through an example using this process to block the built-in Mail app on Windows 10 computers. Once the custom policy is deployed, the same policy behavior we modeled with AppLocker in Group Policy Editor is then applied to our targeted Windows 10 devices. We then export the XML for that policy and use it to create a new, custom Windows 10 Device Configuration policy in Intune. The process flow goes like this: We first model the policy we want to implement using AppLocker in Group Policy Editor. In enterprise environments it is typically configured via Group Policy, however we can leverage the XML it creates to easily build our own custom policies that perform many of the same tasks with Microsoft Intune. Windows AppLocker is a technology first introduced in Windows 7 that allow you to restrict which programs users can execute based on the program's attributes. His example demonstrates just how easy it is to create a quick Intune policy that can be used in lots of different ways to control Windows apps in your environment. Hi everyone, today we have another article from Intune Support Engineer Mohammed Abudayyeh where he shows us how we can leverage AppLocker to create custom Intune Device Configuration policies to control Windows 10 modern apps. 1/17/2024 0 Comments Moments to remember quotes![]() These memories help us establish a life well-lived and enjoyed with the people who matter the most to us. ![]() The Value of Building MemoriesĬreating and accumulating positive memories with family members and friends give us a sense of fulfillment. Meeting new people can widen your perception about yourself, your family members, and friends, and the world. You can join events featuring other couples, teens, or families. Determine your common interest and find a program that revolves around it. Enjoy celebratory events.īesides special occasions, you can participate in events organized by universities and other institutions commemorating historical markers. ![]() Trigger your sense of adventure by going to a new place you’ve never been before, trying a new hobby, or doing anything that’s outside your relationship’s comfort zone. Pick a form of recreation that will expand your sense of togetherness rather than just being passively together like eating out and watching a film at the cinema. We don’t always have to shell out large amounts of money to bond with family and friends as some of the following ideas show. We need to spend time with people we love to make those special connections solid and lasting. We can also focus on something positive at the end of an experience if we cannot do something to make an activity end on a high note.Ĭreating Positive Memories that Boost Relationships To retain good memories, psychologists suggest that we “reframe” our perspective of an experience by not dwelling on the negative incidents within the longer event.įor example, we can find the positive aspect of waiting in line, such as enjoying the delicious meal afterwards or being able to share the meal with someone special or a person you’ve wanted to see for a long time. On the other hand, negative endings can turn a generally happy event such as a date, vacation, or sports tournament into a bad memory. Studies showed that people tended to give a positive evaluation of an event if there was a segment of decreased discomfort to a generally unpleasant or painful experience. It is the narrating self that edits and interprets events. Our experiencing self is aware of what is happening to us moment by moment while our narrating self gathers and forms a story about the highlights that remain in our head. Meanwhile, Kahneman added that people have two “selves” when it comes to memory: the experiencing self and the narrating self. The sibling professors and authors say that “peak” moments are characterized by one or more of four things: connection such as weddings and reunions, pride or moments of courage or achievement, elevation or times of intense happiness that come with pleasure and surprise, and insight or moments that give us clarity about ourselves and the world. They add that people recall these “highlights” more than the actual duration of the event. Kahneman and the Heaths theorize that our recollection of an event is influenced by what we felt during the “peaks” or most intense points, whether positive or negative, of that occurrence and the ending of that experience. Meanwhile, psychologist Daniel Kahneman and brothers Chip and Dan Heath explain that people don’t remember all the details of their past and instead remember “snapshots” of events. A separate study by the California Institute of Technology said that neurons in our brain are key to long-term memory. Researchers at the University of Birmingham found out our minds retrieve memories by reconstructing a past experience in reverse order. Recent findings reveal fascinating information about how memory formation. Whether it’s sharing a meal during the holidays and special occasions or going on a road trip, enjoying the presence of one another makes a lasting imprint in our minds, something that we relive and talk about long after the activities are over. Creating memorable experiences promote the health of any relationship. 1/17/2024 0 Comments Mediatek helio p90 smartphoneWith 4G LTE benefits, the second SIM also has faster connectivity, more reliable coverage and lower power consumption than previous generation products.

1/17/2024 0 Comments Daisuke amaya interview cave story![]() Without their support and cooperation, CS wouldn't have been as successful as it is now. SP is considered to be one of the top developers representing Japan - why did you decide to release a game app for the iOS market?Ī big thank you goes to Tyrone Rodriguez of Nicalis and many other people who supported CS. Ever since then I have been focusing on developing new games as an independent developer. I finally quit my job in March 2011 after Cave Story became a hit title on WiiWare/DSiWare. ![]() I used to work for a small company, however my spare time was spent developing games. Developing a game is way harder than you could imagine including Cave Story (CS), I have released less than 10 games. I'm Daisuke Amaya and in 1998 I established Studio Pixel (SP) so I could disclose my self-developed game. Check out what the indie developer has to say about the iOS platform and Studio Pixel's plans for the future:Ĭould you please introduce yourself briefly to our readers? Rodriguez couldn't confirm any specifics on pricing or a release date, but said "I would love to have this out before Halloween," later adding "I'd be surprised if it isn't released before the end of the year." He also references an upcoming update for the WiiWare version of the game, which will "address a game-breaking bug and a ton of other fan-requested fixes." For more details on the future of the cavernous indie hit, check out the full interview on Tiny Cartridge.Getting an insight in to the games industry over in Japan isn't easy, but our wonderful friends over at AppsJP have got a finger on the pulse of the community and recently wrapped up an interview with Cave Story creator (and Studio Pixel founder) Daisuke Amaya. He explained that while the portable version will have some of the new features added in the WiiWare version launched earlier this year, Nicalis "kept it relatively lean in comparison mainly because this is more a perfect port of the original game." To that effect, there won't be any touch-screen controls - instead, the bottom screen will simply display dialogue, player inventory and the world map. In a recent interview with the DS aficionados of Tiny Cartridge, Nicalis' Tyrone Rodriguez dropped a few details about the upcoming DSiWare port of Studio Pixel's delightful action-platformer, Cave Story. Otherwise, you can just grab the update from the Wii Shop. NeoGAFfer sfried notes that if you've saved Cave Story to an SD card, you'll have to delete the game ("channel") and redownload it. Typos in the translation have also been edited, and transparency has been added to the graphics in several places, including when you open up the Home menu. ![]() In non-sound-related changes, GameCube controller support has been added, and the "extra" modes are now unlockable instead of open from the beginning. In addition, the "typing" text noise is no longer far too loud. Nicalis released an updated version of the remake this week, which addresses those sound issues and more.Īccording to the full list of changes we received from a reliable source, the looping in the original music has been improved, and the instrumentation in the remixed music is now mixed properly (so you can hear bass and drums, for example). If you've been troubled by audio issues or other annoyances in the WiiWare version of Cave Story, go download it again from the Wii Shop. The quality isn't great, because, well, it was a video playing on a projector. We hastily snapped some pictures of the video in motion, so you can get a glimpse of this unreleased version in our gallery below. ![]() The music, however, sounded like what made it into the final game.
