This Week I Learned -
* A new tool currently in preview called the Database Experimentation Assistant, enables migrating from a lower version of SQL Server to the latest version of SQL Server. However, it is much different than the Data Migration Assistant in that the Database Experimentation Assistant provides clarity into the complexity and risks of upgrading.
* Most people search for information about healthy eating during the week on a Monday, according to Google's Food Trend report for 2016.
* Uber Technologies Inc., founded in 2009, is an American multinational mobile ride hail company headquartered in San Francisco, California. In the United States of America, Uber operates under the Transportation Network Company label. It develops, markets and operates the Uber mobile app, which allows consumers with smartphones to submit a trip request which is then routed to Uber drivers who use their own cars. Uber has opened in more than 300 cities on six continents. Uber showed up in Europe in late 2011. European Court of Justice will decide if Uber is a Transportation Service or a Digital Platform.
* Photography tips - Get to the level of the person or a scene. For example, while you shoot kids or pets, going on the floor and clicking them at the eye level would give you much better perspectives and pictures. Make use of Law of Thirds. Imagine your frame is divided into a 3×3 grid, and place your subject along one of the resulting gridlines or where two gridlines intersect.
* Chaos theory is the description of large complex systems and how small differences in intitial conditions can lead to very different final outcomes.
* "Matt" Groening (gray-ning) is the creator of the comic strip Life in Hell (1977–2012) and the television series The Simpsons (1989–present) and Futurama (1999–2003, 2008–2013). Groening said his goal in creating "The Simpsons" show was to offer the audience an alternative to what he called "the mainstream trash" that they were watching. Groening famously named the main Simpson characters after members of his own family: his parents, Homer and Margaret (Marge or Marjorie in full), and his younger sisters, Lisa and Margaret (Maggie). Claiming that it was a bit too obvious to name a character after himself, he chose the name "Bart," an anagram of brat. The entire Simpson family was designed so that they would be recognizable in silhouette. After spending a few years researching science fiction, Groening got together with Simpsons writer/producer David X. Cohen in 1997 and developed Futurama, an animated series about life in the year 3000.
* Lynda Barry has worked as a painter, cartoonist, writer, illustrator, playwright, editor, commentator and teacher and found they are very much alike. Her parents divorced when she was 12. By age 16, she was working nights as a janitor at a Seattle hospital while still attending high school. While studying fine arts at The Evergreen State College, she began drawing comic strips compulsively when her boyfriend left her for another girl. Her career began in 1977 when Matt Groening and University of Washington Daily student editor John Keister each published her work without her knowledge in their respective student newspapers, titling it Ernie Pook's Comeek. When she was 23, the Chicago Reader picked up her comic strip, enabling her to make a living from her comics alone.
* Chanakya had an ugly appearance, accentuated by his broken teeth and crooked feet.
* Entrepreneurship is like you waking up one day, deciding that you’ll start running and you keep running, forever (think Gump, not Gebrselassie). Some days you’ll enjoy running, some days you’ll not. Some days you’ll feel fit, some days you’ll not. You’ll will find fellow runners on a few days, on most days you’ll not. But, you just have to keep running. If things do not go as per plan for a while, remember the old Persian saying – This too shall pass. Just suck it up, tie your shoe laces harder and keep putting one foot in front of the other.
