However, infra-red screens are vulnerable to accidental ‘touches’ from elbows, clothing, insects and so on.ģ. ![]() It benefits from great accuracy, not having to use annoyingly reflective glass, and the ability to register touches from any object (not just a finger). It’s what the Microsoft PixelSense was based on, and it can be found today in Slate Digital’s Raven MTX. This is particularly suited to larger screens. Infra-red technology creates an optical grid across the screen, and registers a ‘touch’ when the beams are interrupted. This is still in use in the graphics tablet market.Ģ. Before the iPhone, it was found on most mobile touchscreen devices, such as PDAs and mobile phones, and tended to use a stylus for superior accuracy. Resistive-touch technology uses pressure on the screen to register each input. Competing TechnologiesĪ number of multi-touch technologies have battled it out for supremacy, and each has its pros and cons:ġ. So, maybe it’s finally time to figure out how and where multi-touch-capable software could enhance your own recording studio, whether that be a modest home-studio setup, or something on a grander scale. And, with high-quality, 24-inch, 10-point touchscreens now available for a very modest outlay (around £300), Windows 8 maturing through version 8.1, and Windows 9 on the horizon, some developers are now making significant progress. Surprisingly, perhaps, given the ubiquity of the iPad, Apple’s OS X doesn’t support multi-touch, but on ‘the other side’ it’s been available in some form or other since Windows 7. Multi-touch technology has been very slow to make any headway in the world of desktop computing - and not just in terms of music production software, by any means. Conversely, on our desktop and laptop studio machines, we have far more power available and access to all the software tools we could wish for, but often find ourselves reduced to controlling them with a mouse. But we’re also perhaps grumbling at the size of the tablet/phone screen, quickly running out of processing power, and troubled by how best to integrate our devices into a larger studio setup. We’re completely at home with the multi-touch screen environment. What’s more, we’ve probably tried using it to make beats, play synths, do some field recording or control our studio computer with a swipe-swipe of our fingers. Most of us now have an iPad or some sort of tablet or smartphone. What Windows music software works well with multi-touch screens, and what feels a bit out of touch?

![]() This template takes advantage of some features in SQL Server to allow the deadlock notifications to get sent out asynchronously – the notifications won’t slow down any applications while they interact with SQL Server. Wouldn’t be nice if you received notifications of deadlocks as they were happening? Good news! Deadlocks only happen when data is changed it’s possible to wrap your modification statements inside a template to record any deadlocks that happen. You can only find out about things after they happen, not as they happen. Much like a microscope lets you look at a prepared slide in excruciating detail, Extended Events let you look at a single point in time in excruciating detail. There’s nothing in Extended Events to help you stop deadlocks from happening or even to detect them right when they are happening. The flip side of the coin is that Extended Events will give you very fine grained information about every deadlock that has already happened. You can find out which tables and queries where involved the deadlock process, which process was killed off, and which locks caused the deadlock to occur. It takes some skill to read the XML from a deadlock graph, but it contains a great deal of information about what happened. Once you start seeing deadlocks, you’ll want to start gathering more information about them. If you don’t have any other monitoring tools in place, Extended Events are a great place to start. Yesterday's deadlocks are tomorrow's news!Just like newspapers help us find out what happened yesterday, Extended Events provide a great way to investigate deadlocks that have already occurred. It’s possible that to build a set of monitoring tools that log all deadlocks to a file and then analyze that file after the events happen. Event data can be held in memory (which is the default) or written out to a file. ![]() Although they’re a relatively new feature to SQL Server, they first appeared in SQL Server 2008, Extended Events already provide an incredibly rich set of tools for monitoring SQL Server. Extended Events are a great source of data for analysis. Once deadlocks show up, your database administrator might reach for a script to pull deadlocks out of Extended Events. You can enable several trace flags to detect deadlocks (trace flag2 12), but they output the deadlock to the SQL Server error log and produce output that is difficult to read and analyze. ![]() Unfortunately, if the cause of the deadlock is still running, odds are that your transaction will fail. SQL Server is telling you exactly how to solve the problem – re-run your transaction. Another sign of a deadlock is an error (error 1205 to be precise) and a very helpful error message: Transaction (Process ID %d) was deadlocked on resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. That’s the first sign of a deadlock, but that’s also the first sign of a lot of other problems. What is the first sign of a deadlock? Queries that should be fast start taking a long time to respond. ![]() The query that’s eliminated is called the deadlock victim. In order for the database to keep responding, one of these queries has to go. In order for either query to finish, they need access to the other query’s resources. Q2 won’t release its lock on tB until it can get a lock on tA. Q1 won’t release its lock on tA until it can get a lock on tB. Q1 must wait for Q2 to release its lock before Q1 can finish. So far, there’s nothing out of the ordinary happening. The first query, Q1, takes an exclusive lock on tA at the same time that the second query, Q2, takes an exclusive lock on tB. Assume that there are two tables, tA and tB. What is a Deadlock?Ī deadlock occurs when two queries need exclusive access to different tables and each query is waiting for the other to finish. The next thing you know, the office looks like Lord of the Flies. Developers will ask the DBA to fix the problem, DBAs will push the problem back on developers.

In " Reaching Out", with the use of Illusion stones given to her by her twin siblings, she wears a set of magenta-framed sunglasses with pink lenses, as well as golden dangle earrings. Her tights become dark red in " Through the Looking Glass Ruins" and in " Eda's Requiem", she starts wearing a circular gold necklace inset with a round purple gem. Around her neck, she wears an amulet with an orchid gemstone this later turns out to be an oracle charm Odalia uses to send her telepathic messages, which Amity destroys once she stood up to her.

By 1906, under a joint ownership with Portland General Electric and the Portland Railway Light and Power Company, the line reached its peak usage. The Springwater Corridor is a former rail corridor the Springwater Division Line was developed for rail service in 1903. Ongoing streambank restoration will improve habitat and water quality for threatened fish species. Protected as natural areas, these properties provide flood storage, wildlife habitat, and opportunities for wildlife observation along the Corridor. Following a series of floods in the mid-1990s, the City of Portland began acquiring properties in the Johnson Creek floodplain. The creek was once host to abundant native fish populations, including threatened salmon species. Johnson Creek and the Springwater Corridor are intertwined, with at least 10 trail bridges over the creek. Some of the adjacent natural areas such as Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge and Beggars-tick Wildlife Refuge feature a wide variety of habitats including open water, shrub/scrub marsh, cattail/smartweed marsh, and forested wetland Powell Butte Nature Park features open meadow with stands of orchard trees and forested slopes below and Tideman Johnson Natural Area contains a small riparian woodland. Look beneath the PGE transmission lines for new plantings of native shrubs and small trees such as red-osier dogwood, elderberry, Indian plum, and willow. Over a decade of projects have helped control invasive plants and improve wildlife habitat. It is a non-native plant and so invasive that it chokes out native plants. Himalayan blackberry used to dominate much of the Springwater landscape. Less developed areas support greater diversity, including black-tailed deer, coyote, deer mouse, vole, bat, western fly-catcher, black-headed grosbeak, orange-crowned warbler, common merganser, and woodpecker. Common species include crow, robin, starling, song sparrow, Bewick's wren, house finch, cedar waxwing, violet-green swallow, belted kingfisher, great blue heron, mallard, wood duck, bushtit, black-capped chickadee, raccoon, opossum, nutria, and mole species. Most of the wildlife found along the Corridor are those species capable of co-existing with humans. Equestrian use is more common east of I-205 where a separate soft surface path meanders away from the main trail where topography allows. The hard surface trail is designed to accommodate walkers, joggers, hikers, bicycles, wheelchairs, and strollers. The paved surface is generally 10-12 feet wide with soft shoulders. The Springwater Corridor is a multi-use trail. ![]() The Corridor connects several parks and open spaces including Tideman Johnson Nature Park, Beggars-tick Wildlife Refuge, the I-205 Bike Path, Leach Botanical Garden, Powell Butte Nature Park, and Gresham's Main City Park. Close to Johnson Creek, one of the last free-flowing streams in Portland's urban area, the trail criss-crosses the stream on its course to the Willamette River. The route is a scenic one, encompassing wetlands, buttes, agricultural fields and pastures, residential and industrial neighborhoods. The eventual developed trail will be over 21 miles long.įor the most part, the trail is well separated from the public road. The Springwater Corridor is the major southeast segment of the 40-Mile Loop which was inspired by the 1903 Olmsted plan of a parkway and boulevard loop to connect park sites. |
