The Responsibilities for a GIS DBAIn Feburary 2016 23,

In Feburary 2016 23,
In addition to requisite database administration skills, GIS DBAs need to possess some knowledge on geographic information systems. These skills namely include geographic knowledge, but not just placement of states and countries. GIS data is much more advanced, recording changes in elevation, air patterns, pollution and water levels. Mathematical skills are also necessary, as they help DBAs draw correlative relationships between major GIS data sets. GIS DBAs should be aware of how different environmental events impact others and what consequences they may carry to data that's being sorted by them.
Job Overview
GIS DBAs will perform a variety of responsibilities over the course of their careers. Leveraging their technical skill sets, GIS DBAs will support the planning and development of GIS databases, generate reports based on that data and drive the creation of new research methods and computational activities. They're also responsible for data entry, modification and maintenance. Data integrity becomes very important over time, as historical data gets called upon in future research projects as reference points.
Technical Proficiencies
DBAs who work in GIS capacities need to have a unique skill set that combines traditional computer database skills with knowledge of GIS data systems. Commonly required skills include SQL Server, MySQL, ArcGIS Server, .NET, ArcGIS desktop, Visual Basic, SharePoint, and ArcPAD. The Arcline software products are designed specifically for GIS data management, making them an essential item that should be in any GIS DBA's toolbox. Professionals in this field should also know how to extrapolate data from all of these different sources and develop models, theories and relational databases.
Report Generation
Generating reports is one of the foremost responsibilities of GIS DBAs. While scientists may be the geographic subject matter experts, they can't do much without access to the geographic data. Furthermore, with the data in its raw form, it will take them much longer to model and analyze it. This is where the core function of a GIS DBA enters into play. These professionals help query specific data that researchers need access to, then reformat the data into more palatable forms, such as charts and visual graphs.

What Is a 1099In Feburary 2016 15,

In Feburary 2016 15,
A 1099-INT form summarizes the interest income you've received during the year. Interest income is the amount of money you receive on earnings from savings accounts, bonds and certain treasury accounts. The interest you earn on certain types of savings accounts is taxable, just like earned income from a job. The banks where you hold your accounts send these forms at tax time, usually before February 1.
Sections
The 1099-INT form shows basic information about you as the account holder, including name, address, and account number. In addition to the interest income earned for the year, it also shows any early withdrawal penalty and federal income tax paid on the earnings. If any of the interest earnings were tax-exempt, meaning that you weren't required to pay tax on the amount, that figure is also printed on the 1099-INT form.
1099-INT from the State
In some cases, the state may send a 1099-INT form to a taxpayer to account for interest earned on tax refund payments due. For instance, if the taxpayer overpaid his obligation for the year, the state revenue office may pay him interest for the time the office held onto the extra funds. The same is sometimes true for localities -- towns and cities.
Other Considerations
It is possible to receive more than one 1099-INT form in one year. For instance, if you have more than one bank savings account earning interest, you receive a form for each of those accounts. If you do not receive all of your 1099-INT forms by February 1, you can sometimes log into your bank accounts to retrieve the forms online. It is common for banks to provide printable 1099-INT forms for retrieval over the Internet.

How to Not be Awkward at a PartyIn Feburary 2016 06,

In Feburary 2016 06,
When I moved by myself to a new city, I wanted very badly to meet people and resume a normal social life. Normally outgoing and easy to make friends, I found myself a hermit for basically a year until a co-worker from another office across town invited me to a party. Boy, was it awkward for me to get back into the swing of things and reconnect with my old self - the one who knew how to have fun at any party!
One important thing to do when feeling awkward at a party is to assume a role or take on a job. A great way that I have found to feel like you're blending right in is to show up a little early (make sure it's ok with the host or hostess first) and help them with food, decorations, etc. This not only helps the person hosting the party, but it also ensures that you will be introduced to people one-by-one as they enter Way better than showing up late when everyone is already there and the party is in full swing!
Can't show up early? You can still assume a job no matter what time you get there. Help the host with serving drinks, help make cocktails, or take the birthday card around for everyone to sign. Keep your eyes open and you will see a role that needs to be filled! This is a great way to mingle and meet people, and you won't feel awkward doing it since you have a purpose.
Obviously you know someone at the party (at least a little), or else you wouldn't be there. Be bold and ask your acquiantance to introduce you to some of his or her friends. Even if you just meet them in passing at first, you can take note of who seemed friendly or who you had something in common with, and go back and visit them later.
Go with an open mind. Parties are for fun and mingling, so don't be a wallflower! If your connection at the party is busy, be outgoing and introduce yourself to people. Even if you feel like you have nothing to say, you can just open with, 'Hi, I'm _____. Great party! How do you know (host/hostess)?' and go from there.
Parties don't have to be intimidating! Have fun and go with a goal of meeting at least one new person that you will hang out with in the future/network with in the business world/play tennis with, etc.
