In his experience, end-users assume that MySQL replication features will operate as intended without planning or oversight. In response to kaamos’ feature wish list, user "fusiongyro" replied that advanced replication strategies in MySQL cause "hair loss and divorce" due to faulty distributed consistency.

In 1994, Michael Widenius created a competitor product called "MySQL". In 1985, the project was revamped at Berkeley under the name "Postgres", and later changed to "PostgreSQL" to acknowledge the accessibility of SQL. According to the Wikipedia article on the matter, the advantage of Ingres was that it used QUEL, a more formal but more precise query language compared to SQL. The project was written in C and released to the public under an open-source license. In 1973, UC Berkeley started a project, dubbed "Ingres", to set a new standard for relational database management systems. What sets them apart is the topic of this article. What they have in common is robust network fault tolerance and support for data clustering. They are used by all market demographics, including commercial enterprises and open-source foundations.

Public works supervisor Mike Bishop had crews out during an ice storm on January 21 and that Downie "said that I was not doing my job and if any of his men got hurt that he'd throw me under the bus and jump up and down. On one scene he said he had parked his car and Downie walked by and said, "Could you park any f….g closer?" Downie responded by saying that the officer had parked his cruiser on a bridge and the fire vehicles couldn't get out. Officer Neil Thibault wrote an Affidavit saying, "The only hostile work environment that I see is the one created by the fire department administration, primarily Chief Downie". John said that while eating at restaurants, Downie would frequently make a point to come over and make derogatory statements toward the officers such as, "What, no donuts today? Can't work without a donut? And, the donut shop closed today?" To this Downie said, "police and fire people talk to each other all the time like that". On several occasions he has been very critical of the police department. John said there are several examples of hostility as displayed toward Township employees, particularly police officers, by the Fire Chief. Downie responded saying, "She was overly supervised and they couldn't fire her because she had a disability and they were worried about her filing an American With Disabilities Act lawsuit".

We outline the accusations and Downie's response to each. In a Fox 19 News Exclusive, the Investigative Report was released. FAIRFIELD TOWNSHIP, OH (FOX19) - Former Fairfield Fire Chief David Downie was fired Tuesday for a variety of reasons. If not having Martinet as va for Mario helps with that, then that should be the main reason. Delivering an overall good product is by far the most important part. What is by far the most important will be a good trailer, since videogame movies still have a bad reputation, that needs to be overcome and for many, a good Mario movie is hard to imagine just generally. Most people don't know who Martinet is, but one hell of a lot of people know how Mario usually sounds. If Martinet is out of question (which he is, imo), then you take a star of course. Lose a part of those 40 million Mario players, win some Pratt fans, which amounts to more? Would a Pratt fan actually watch the movie, even though he is just a voice actor? Surely only part of them. Than there are also some people who just hate Pratt and wouldn't watch the movie because of him.ĭo we even have solid evidence that the name of a voice actor actually makes a huge difference? I am not even sure about that part, honestly. Most probably won't, but more people than who are attracted by Pratt? Maybe. If we were to simply take those 40 million, then you already have 40 million people who could potentially be turned off by that wrong voice. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on Switch already sold almost 40 Million, those are all just the people who like Mario games (even if just Mario Kart) and have a Switch excluding some who came from the Wii U and didn't buy again. Mario is not a niche franchise, not even by Hollywood standards. ![]() You will get the attention of more than just the core audience.

![]() It might also imply that the email address used for my login could also have been compromised, or was at least at somewhat higher risk, so sending a verification email to the security email address makes sense. Had this been a malicious login attempt, it would imply that someone knew my master password. (And, of course, you remember that you have a security email configured.)Īgain, this makes total sense. Good security, as long as you remember that the message might be sent to the security email and not the primary account email. (Screenshot: )Ī pretty standard “verify a new location” request. I started checking some of my lesser-used accounts, and sure enough, there it was: the email I’d been missing. “No email from LastPass?” in the initial email might have clued me in to look elsewhere, but it didn’t occur to me.Īnd yet. I’ve had LastPass for a long time, and honestly, I don’t recall ever having set up a security email. The next day, I had received a more detailed response. They responded with a request I direct-message them my account email address so they could look into it. With that knowledge, I relaxed and got my work done. So, as you can see, losing access to my vault would be - at worst - an inconvenience. They all have current recovery information using alternate email accounts, phone numbers, or backup codes I had access to should I need them. I can do a password/account recovery on those accounts to which I need immediate access. Even if I lost access to the vault entirely and had been unable to access my backups, I still would not be locked out of anything. The backup itself is manually encrypted 2 and secure. With remote access to my systems at home, I could, if needed, transfer the backup to my laptop and extract whatever passwords or account credentials I needed. I back up my LastPass vault more or less monthly, and had done so just a week or so prior to my trip. ![]() I didn’t need this, but it was an option. Naturally, since my passwords are long and complex (example: “beKqRCS9UM6Wac5ffkBD”), this was a slow process, but it worked. I opened LastPass, viewed the password for the site I was attempting to access, and carefully entered it on my laptop. ![]() There were three ways I was covered, no matter what happened. I didn’t “lose” anything, and I certainly didn’t lose access to any of my accounts. Not being able to sign in to my LastPass account on my laptop seems like it might be a huge problem. You just have to do your part by having up-to-date security information. A minor annoyance, like an extra step to confirm you are who you are, is small compared to the disaster that might result should the wrong person be granted access. When you think about it, extra security on the part of providers like LastPass only makes sense. I have one suggestion for a minor improvement on their part, which I’ll mention below, but the reasoning behind the additional security is sound (I was signing in from a new location). I want to be clear that LastPass did almost everything right. The experience reinforces the security of using a good password vault like LastPass. After reaching out to LastPass support, they quickly reminded me of a security setting I’d overlooked that would have allowed me back in instantly. I couldn’t sign in to my password vault due to an email that appeared not to arrive - but realized I had several other ways to access the information and accounts in my vault. ![]() ![]() With the power of Apple silicon, tens of millions of Macs can run demanding games with great performance, long battery life and breathtaking visuals. ![]() Safari users can also now add any website to the Dock as they would with an app, complete with a simplified toolbar and notifications for an app-like experience.

While very similar to the lynx, the gait of a cougar is slow and deliberate, resulting in prints that leave a clear impression in the snow or mud. Key characteristics: The cougar’s asymmetrical elongated paw print will display four toe pads in a semi-circle, with no visible claws. Size: The biggest cat in Canada, both front and back cougar prints will appear up to four inches by four inches. Toe imprints will also be straighter, closer together, and usually touching. Key characteristics: Unlike black bears, the long claws of a grizzly will often be clearly visible in the track. ![]() Size: Larger than a black bear, a grizzly’s front paw tracks range from five to seven inches in length, while their rear paws imprint is between 10 and 12 inches in length. Toe imprints will also be curved and spaced further apart than a grizzly’s. Unlike grizzly bears, the shorter claws of the black bear may not leave an impression in the ground. Key characteristics: Although bears have five toes on each foot-with the largest toe on the outside-the smallest inner toe does not always leave a print. The front prints of a black bear are about five by five inches, while hind prints are up to eight inches in length. Size: Since a bear’s entire paw pad can leave an impression, their track is one of the largest of the predators. Here are seven common predator tracks you might spot in the Canadian wild, plus some tips on how to differentiate them. After all, snowy fields and soft muddy trails provide the perfect blank canvas for woodland wanderers.
