* Applications you can run in a cross-cloud configuration between Azure & Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) include:
- E-Business Suite
- JD Edwards EnterpriseOne
- PeopleSoft
- Oracle Retail applications
- Oracle Hyperion Financial Management
* AZ-500 Exam Study Guide
* Unified data analytics is a concept that combines data engineering, data science and business intelligence. Databricks Unified Analytics Platform is composed of:
1) A collaborative data science workspace with BI integrations
2) A unified data service for high quality data storage and performance
3) An enterprise cloud service for a secure and scalable infrastructure.
The Databricks Runtime is a data processing engine built on a highly optimized version of Apache Spark by the original creators of Apache Spark.
* Microsoft encourages customers currently using or evaluating Machine Learning Studio (classic) to try Azure Machine Learning designer (preview), which provides drag and drop ML modules plus scalability, version control, and enterprise security.
* Terraform is supported natively within the Azure CLI.
* Deep learning is a subset of machine learning, and machine learning is a subset of AI
* Software Assurance has an annual cost of 29% of the license price for desktop products (e.g. Windows, Office) and 25% for server products.
* FastTrack for Azure is an advisory service, in which Azure engineers provide proven practices and architectural guidance at no cost for eligible customers. Projects that are expected to reach at least $5,000 of service usage per month within 12 months of deployment qualify for the program.
* You can create a video presentation & generate subtitles for it by scheduling a Teams video meeting with yourself and using the “record meeting” feature.
* Microsoft Whiteboard is a free digital canvas tool currently available on Web, Windows 10 and iOS. Android users can just open a web browser (Chrome) and navigate to and user web version
* Google employs more than 130,000 contractors and temp workers, a shadow workforce that outnumbers its 123,000 full-time employees.
* The average annual relative humidity is 56.3% and average monthly relative humidity ranges from 37% in April to 74% in August. August is the month with the most rainfall in Hyderabad. Rain falls for 14.1 days and accumulates 178.7mm (7") of precipitation.
* A reading of 100 percent relative humidity means that the air is totally saturated with water vapor and cannot hold any more, creating the possibility of rain. This doesn't mean that the relative humidity must be 100 percent in order for it to rain — it must be 100 percent where the clouds are forming, but the relative humidity near the ground could be much less. Humans are very sensitive to humidity, as the skin relies on the air to get rid of moisture. The process of sweating is your body's attempt to keep cool and maintain its current temperature. If the air is at 100 percent relative humidity, sweat will not evaporate into the air. As a result, we feel much hotter than the actual temperature when the relative humidity is high. If the relative humidity is low, we can feel much cooler than the actual temperature because our sweat evaporates easily, cooling us off. For example, if the air temperature is 24 degrees Celsius) and the relative humidity is zero percent, the air temperature feels like 21 C to our bodies. If the air temperature is 24 C and the relative humidity is 100 percent, we feel like it's 27 C out, and you start praying that you had the air conditioner serviced last fall. People tend to feel most comfortable at a relative humidity of between 30 and 50 percent. - How Stuff Works
* Calling a doctor was deferred for a full 12 hours after Stalin was rendered paralysed, incontinent and unable to speak following a stroke. This decision is noted as "extraordinary" by the historian Simon Sebag-Montefiore but also consistent with the standard Stalinist policy of deferring all decision-making (no matter how necessary or obvious) without official orders from higher authority.
Chief of the Soviet security and secret police apparatus (NKVD), Lavrentiy Beria's decision to avoid immediately calling a doctor was tacitly supported (or at least not opposed) by the rest of the Politburo, which was rudderless without Stalin's micromanagement and paralysed by a legitimate fear he would suddenly recover and take reprisals on anyone who had dared to act without his orders - Wikipedia
* Serum Institute of India is the world's largest vaccine manufacturer by number of doses produced and sold globally (more than 1.5 billion doses).
* One reason why India has lost so many jobs so quickly is that nine out of ten jobs are in the informal sector. (These workers are either self-employed, or casual labourers, or have no direct contract with their employer.) The persistence of this ratio, despite decades of impressive growth and rising prosperity, can largely be explained by cumbersome labour rules that create incentives for companies either to stay small, to subcontract employment to brokers and middlemen, or else to invest in capital equipment rather than a bigger or better-trained workforce. The Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946, for instance, requires any establishment with more than 100 workers to secure government approval if it wishes to fire anyone, or even to reassign personnel.
The Economist
* The 1950 Assam–Tibet earthquake, also known as the Assam earthquake, occurred on 15 August and had a moment magnitude of 8.6. It is the largest known earthquake to have not been caused by an oceanic subduction. Instead, this quake was caused by two continental plates colliding.
* The 1960 Chilean earthquake is the largest earthquake that has been measured on a seismograph, reaching 9.5 magnitude on 22 May 1960.
* The word shampoo dates to 1762 and is derived from Hindi chāmpo
* Apollo Hospitals has a presence in 16 states of India.
* Small pox lasted for 3000 years before it was eradicated
