I think this was one of the first equine shoots I did on the New Forest and it is still one of my all time favourite shoots. Emily and smudge grew up in the New Forest and clearly make the most of living in this wonderful place. We met on the forest for the photography and I will never forget watching Emily and Smudge canter off at the end of the day – jumping every gorse bush in sight!
Smudge is an exceptionally well behaved New Forest pony who has the most amazing presence and seem to know what equine photography is all about. He always seems to stand perfectly and his ears seem to be permanently fixed in the forward position!

What is a vegetable garden?
What kind of land must it be?
What can use grow here?
What is the best source of vitamin?
Why is vegetable good for health?
What are his goods for sale?
Answer: A vegetable garden is a garden where different kinds of vegetables are grown. A suitable piece of land is needed for a vegetable garden. The piece of land must be sunny. Water must not stand on it during the rainy season. Before planting vegetables, the piece of land has to be prepared well and manured. The grass and grassroots have to be picked up and removed from the soil. In a vegetable garden, we can grow all sorts of vegetables in different seasons. Most vegetables are rich in food value and are essential for our good health. But green yellow and leafy vegetables are the best sources of vitamins and minerals. All sorts of vegetables should be planted in a vegetable garden. A vegetable garden is not very expensive to make. Therefore, every family should have a vegetable garden.

A wonderful video of Melbourne in miniature form by Nathan Kaso.
A short tilt-shift time-lapse film featuring my home town, the city of Melbourne, Australia.
Th video was 10 months in the making and features a range of different events and festivals held in the city throughout 2011-2012.
Nathan takes birds-eye footage of everyday life with time-lapse technology to create this wonderful animation of Melbourne.

This fun wallpaper features a collection of colourful dinosaurs, including a T-Rex and Stegosaurus, on a white background. The dinosaur's names are alongside them and elements of the design are picked out in silver metallic highlights for added effect. The design is printed on to luxury heavyweight paper to ensure durability and a quality finish. Easy to apply, this wallpaper will look great when used to decorate a whole room or to create a feature wall.

So if there is something running that listens to a network port that can benefit ‘attackers’, there is no firewall to stop them.
The snmpd process is the net-snmp snmp daemon. However, there are two additional processes running with the name ‘snmp’ in them, one is owned by init, and a processes that this process has spawned. The name ‘lsi_mrdsnmpagent’ probably means LSI MegaRaid SNMP agent. That gives a fair hint this processes is doing something snmp related specifically for the LSI MegaRaid adapter, which is the disk controller.
Are there any open ports related to snmp processes?
This is support for the SMUX protocol (RFC 1227) to communicate with SMUX-based subagents. This is a deprecated feature in favour of AgentX. It is considered a bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=110931) the daemon is still using this port. However the port is opened on localhost (127.0.0.1) and as such not reachable from outside of the machine, which means it is not a direct security problem.
The status ‘open’ shows this udp port does respond to requests.
The status ‘open|filtered’ does mean the udp port does not respond to requests.
– trapsink destination (127.0.0.1, localhost) and community string (public).
In general it is advised to change the community strings to something unique to avoid being easy guessable. However, in this case there’s also a network description following the ro and rw community, which is: 127.0.0.1. This means snmp access is restricted to localhost.
This means there is no way to communicate to the snmp daemon from outside of the machine. We can see from the snmp daemon configuration file that access to the snmp deamon is limited to localhost.
# colon to send the SNMP trap message to custom port.
# used. 'trapcommunity' token is also used in snmpd.conf.
It is a configuration file that works alongside the snmpd.conf configuration. What is important to see, is ‘TrapDestInd’, which is set at ‘3’, which means that traps are send to trap destinations set in the snmpd.conf file AND set in the sas_TrapDestionation.conf file. Two traps are defined in the file, 127.0.0.1 with community string public, which means it sends a trap to udp port 161 (at which the snmpd process is listening, as we saw earlier in the open ports list), but the most interesting thing here is there’s also a trap send to 127.0.0.1 at port 8162. That is a port number I do not know from the top of my head!
That’s java running weblogic, with the name ‘msServer’. That is something that is part of the daemons that serve dbmcli (alike the daemons that service cellcli on the cells)!
This actually makes sense. The daemons that manage the database server fetch hardware status information and hardware failures from the BMC using the IPMI device (/dev/ipmi0). However the LSI MegaRaid adapter can not provide its status in that way. So in order for the management daemons to keep track of events on the LSI MegaRaid adapter (hardware issues), a daemon that works together with the snmp daemon is setup, which sends snmp traps if something occurs. The management daemon has setup a port that listens for these traps.
I do not know if the community strings is processed by the management deamon processing the trap. However, the port number on which the daemon is listening for traps is defined in ‘/opt/oracle/dbserver/dbms/deploy/config/cellinit.ora’ with the directive BMC_SNMP_PORT.
As far as I can see, the reason the snmp deamon is running is to be able to run the LSI MegaRaid SNMP agent process, so it can send traps to the compute node’s management daemons. Since most Exadata compute nodes do not have the firewall enabled, udp port 161 is exposed. The settings of the snmp daemon itself limits access to localhost.
This blogpost is about looking into full segment scans, and get an understanding when and why the engine changes from buffered reads to direct path reads. Luckily, Oracle provides a (non documented) event to show the decision between buffered and direct path reads. As with most of the trace facilities Oracle provides, the information which the tracing provides is symbolic and requires interpretation before it can be used.
Some of the lines of the nsmtio trace are prefixed with ‘NSMTIO’. When the line is prefixed with NSMTIO, the function about which the line prints information is shown. We see two functions here: kcbism and qertbFetch.
islarge 0: this probably means this is not considered a large object.
nblks 4: the size of the object is 4 blocks.
type 2: oracle’s internal database type number, 2 means table, 1 means index (OBJ$.TYPE#).
kcbisdbfc 0: probably information about the database flash cache.
kcbnbh 182931: kernel cache buffer number of buffer headers; the size of the cache in blocks.
kcbstt 3658: this is the _small_table_threshold value.
keep_nb: number of blocks in the keep cache.
kcbnwp 1: kernel cache buffer number of writer processes. The number of database writer processes.
NoDirectRead: This is very clear: there is no direct read executed, which means the scan is done buffered.
[- STT < OBJECT_SIZE < MTT]: I am not exactly sure what this means to express. It got a minus sign as first, then STT < OBJECT_SIZE < MTT, which I read as "the object's size is bigger than small table threshold, but smaller than medium table threshold", which is not true, because the size of 4 blocks is much smaller than STT.
Obect's size: 4 (blocks), Threshold: MTT(18293 blocks): The typo here is by Oracle. Also this describes MTT, medium table threshold, which is 5 times small table threshold. It says that the threshold is MTT. This is not true, as we will see.
_object_statistics: enabled: This is the object's size being determined via the statistics, rather than from the segment header, which can be changed by the parameter _DIRECT_READ_DECISION_STATISTICS_DRIVEN.
Sage: enabled: Sage means Exadata (Storage Appliance for Grid Environments). Starting from version 11, the exadata code base is always enabled. Probably in version 10 this had to be added by adding code, alike linking in functionality such as RAC and SDO (spatial), by running make ins_rdbms.mk rac_on/rac_off, sdo_on/sdo_off, etc.
Direct Read for serial qry: enabled(::::::): this means that IF the segment was big enough, it would be possible to use the direct read functionality for a serial query. If it would have been impossible, in between the colons the reason would be stated.
flashback_table_scan: FALSE: This is not a flashback table scan, which (quite probably) would disable direct path reads.
Row Versions Query: FALSE: No row versioning.
SqlId: dm0hq1419y734, plan_hash_value: 4110451325, Object#: 21979, Parition#: 0 DW_scan: disabled: Most of this speaks for itself. The typo (Parition) is by Oracle again. I am not entirely sure what DW_scan means, there are a number of undocumented parameters related to dw_scan, which describe cooling and warming.
Basically, if you enable the nsmtio trace and you see the line 'NSMTIO: qertbFetch:NoDirectRead:[- STT < OBJECT_SIZE < MTT]', it means Oracle is doing a buffered read because the segment was smaller than small table threshold.
First the kcbism line which is described above. Here islarge is set to 1. This means the objects is considered too large for being a small segment.
The next line is the kcbimd function, based on this list, a guess for the function name is kernel cache buffers is medium. is_medium is set to 0, this is not a medium size object.
Then kcbivlo, kernel cache buffers is very large object. is_large is set to 1, this is a large object. vlot is listed as ‘500’. This value is set by the parameter _very_large_object_threshold, and means the threshold being 500 percent of the buffercache.
The qertbFetch line says DirectRead, which indicates this object is going to be read via direct path. The reason for doing this is [OBJECT_SIZE>VLOT].
The next line shows the actual size of VLOT (very large object threshold), which is in my case 914655, which is exactly 5*kcbnbh.
When the line ‘NSMTIO: qertbFetch:DirectRead:[OBJECT_SIZE>VLOT]’ is in the nsmtio trace, the object is bigger than 5 times the size of the buffercache, and the object will be scanned via direct path without any further considerations.
First let’s take a look when Oracle switches from considering an object to be small to thinking it is medium sized. We already know when Oracle thinks it is big and always will do a direct path read: 5 times the buffercache, which is often referred to as ‘VLOT’.
First of all, we see the segment size considered by kcbism/kcbimd/kcbivlo (nblks) being different than the total number of blocks from dba_segments. Probably only blocks which are truly in use are considered by the code, instead of all the blocks which are allocated to the segment.
On the kcbism line we see ‘islarge 1’ which probably means it is not considered small (sized up to small table threshold) but is larger.
A few lines down the kcbivlo line says it is not large here too (is_large 0), which means larger than VLOT.
This must mean it is considered larger than small, and smaller than large, thus: medium.
Interestingly, the kcbimd line says ‘is_medium 0’.
An important point is the switch to considering doing a direct path read, alias a segment is considered medium sized, is simply when STT is exceeded.
In between the kcbism/kcbimd/kcbivlo lines there is an additional line: kcbcmt1, which seems to measure additional things which could be used for costing.
What is very interesting, and a bit confusing, is the line: NSMTIO: qertbFetch:[MTT < OBJECT_SIZE < VLOT]: Checking cost to read from caches(local/remote) and checking storage reduction factors (OLTP/EHCC Comp). First of all, this line now does NOT show the decision, unlike the same line with segments smaller than STT and bigger than VLOT. Second, [MTT < OBJECT_SIZE < VLOT] indicates the segment being bigger than MTT (5*STT) and smaller than VLOT, which is not true, the segment size is nblks 3668, STT is kcbstt 3658, which means MTT is 18290.
The decision is shown in the line: NSMTIO: kcbdpc:DirectRead: tsn: 4, objd: 21988, objn: 21988. Probably kcbdpc means kernel cache buffers direct path choice. As we can see, the choice in this case is DirectRead. The next line is important: ckpt: 1, nblks: 3668, ntcache: 66, ntdist:0. The ntcache value is the number of blocks in the local buffer cache. When RAC is involved, the ntdist value can be different than 0. Instead of reflecting the number of blocks in remote caches, the ntdist reflects the number of blocks not in the local cache. I am not sure if this means that Oracle assumes when blocks are not in the local cache, they ought to be in the remote cache. It looks like it.
If the decision is a buffered read, the line shows: NSMTIO: kcbdpc:NoDirectRead:[CACHE_READ]: tsn: 4, objd: 20480, objn: 20480. ckpt: 0, nblks: 21128, ntcache: 20810, ntdist:0. Of course the values are database depended.
If a segment is bigger than MTT (STT*5), the line with the function kcbcmt1 is not visible.
The things that are recognisable for me are diomrc (quite probably direct IO multiblock read count) which is set to the multiblock read count value. The other one is dios (quite probably direct IO slots), which shows the starting value of the direct IO slots, which is the amount of IOs the database will issue asynchronously when starting a full segment scan. Fully automatic Oracle will measure throughput and CPU usage, and determine if more IOs can be issued at the same time. This actually is a bit of parallelism.
During my tests on 11.2.0.3 and 12.1.0.2, as soon as a segment exceeded STT, the Oracle engine switched to direct path reads, unless there was 99% or more of the blocks in the local cache. This is quite contrary to popular believe that the threshold is 50% of the blocks in cache to switch to reading blocks into the buffer cache. In all honesty, I have presented on the switch point value being 50% too.
So, doing direct path reads, and chkpt is set to 1 (I think indicating the need to checkpoint), which seems logical, if my session wants to do a direct path read of modified blocks.
That’s odd…I first do a direct path read, and the second time I am not doing a no-direct alias buffered read?
Actually, if you look at the number of blocks in the cache (ntcache), it magically changed between the two runs from 26326 to 52513. And 52513/52791*100=99.5%, which is above the apparent limit of 99%, so should be buffered.
The wait events ‘cell multilbock physical read’ is a buffered read. So, despite ‘kcbdpc:DirectRead’ from the nsmtio trace, this is actually doing a buffered read. I am not really happy the trace is inconsistent. You could argue that it is an Oracle internal tracing function, so Oracle can and will not guarantee anything, but this way the tracing could tell the wrong story.
The nsmtio trace is a way to look into the direct path or non-direct path/buffered decision. Sadly, it can tell a wrong story.
– A segment smaller than _small_table_threshold is read for full table scan into the buffercache.
– A segment that is bigger than 500% of the buffercache is always scanned for read for full table scan via direct path.
– A segment that is sized between _small_table_threshold and 500% of the buffer cache is medium and could be full table scanned using direct path reads and using buffered reads.
– The tracing on 12.1.0.2 gives a hint there is a difference in consideration between a medium segment sized smaller than MTT (medium table threshold, which is 5 times _small_table_threshold) and bigger than it. This is because of the function kcbcmt1 showing aging/timing information on the blocks when a segment is smaller than MTT.
– For a medium sized segment, a scan for reading a full table scan is done via direct path, unless there are more than 99% of the blocks in the cache.
– For a medium sized segment, a scan for reading a full table scan is done via the buffercache if the amount of blocks that is “dirty” is 50% or more.
Final consideration: I have performed these investigations on databases that were not really heavily used. As could be seen with the kcbcmt1 function, there are additional heuristics that could make the behaviour different if there is more going on in the database. I am pretty sure this blogpost is a good outline, but behaviour could be different in specific cases. Hopefully this blogpost provides enough information and pointers to investigate this for yourself.
Last week I’ve gotten a question on how storage indexes (SI) behave when the table for which the SI is holding data is changed. Based on logical reasoning, it can be two things: the SI is invalidated because the data it’s holding is changed, or the SI is updated to reflect the change. Think about this for yourself, and pick a choice. I would love to hear if you did choose the correct one.
First let’s do a step back and lay some groundwork first. The tests done in this blogpost are done on an actual Exadata (V2 hardware), with Oracle version 11.2.0.4.6 (meaning bundle patch 6). The Exadata “cellos” (Cell O/S) version is 11.2.3.3.1.140529.1 on both the compute nodes and the storage nodes.
A storage index is a memory structure used by the cell daemon, which is the storage server process on the storage layer of Exadata. By default (although I’ve never seen it different yet) a SI contains minimum and maximum values for up to eight columns of the table it is describing. The memory structure is transient. It describes a region of one megabyte of a table. A storage index is populated during the fetching of data for a smart scan, based on the filter predicates of the query causing the smart scan. In essence the whole SI management is done automatically by the cell daemon (“essence” means you can play around with some undocumented settings on the database level, and there are some undocumented settings and events you can set on the cell server level).
Okay, back to the the original question. Let’s test this. First we need a table large enough to be smartscanned. I’ve got a table called ‘BIGTAB_NOHCC’ (as you probably guessed, there is a table ‘BIGTAB’ in the schema I am using, which is hybrid columnar compressed). This table consists of 2671736 blocks of 8KB, which means it got a total size of 21G. This is big enough for my database instance (big enough is relative to the buffer cache size) to get a smart scan.
For this test, I use the session statistics. In v$sesstat there is a statistic called ‘cell physical IO bytes saved by storage index’, which tells us how many bytes we saved from being scanned because of the use of storage indexes. I also show some output of a (single) storage server, although a normal Exadata rack typically will have 3, 7 or 14 storage servers in use.
First of all, in order to get an idea and be pretty sure my query will populate storage indexes, I stop and start the cell daemon on the storage servers. I use ‘service celld restart’ for that.
This is why it’s handy to have the aforementioned data on the table: you can dump the specific storage indexes for a single table. The three numbers after ‘all’ are data_object_id, tablespace number and the ksqdngunid from the x$ksqdn table.
Here you see the typical heading of an Oracle trace file, next the announcement of the dump (“Dumping storage idx summary”,”Dumping RIDX summary”). The real storage index information starts with “RIDX(0x7f27b4ddab64)”. Starting with that and until the “lo” and “hi” values, you are looking at an actual storage index which holds data for a single column. You can see which column by looking at the “Col id” in the square brackets: 1. It’s interesting to note that there is a scn (system change number) included. The storage index shows if there are NULL values in the column (in this case it says HASNONNULLVALUES, so we don’t have any NULL values in the 1MB chunk in the column this storage index describes), and, of course, the low and high values in the Oracle internal data format.
Yes! This using the storage index we caused the be built up previously!
With this being established, we can try to get an answer to our question: how does the storage index react to DML on the table it is describing?
Okay, now let’s redo the select again, and take stats before and after on storage index usage!
What we see here with the storage index session statistic, is the update statement didn’t use the storage index (which is obvious, we updated the data, which happened on the database layer, so we didn’t use a smartscan) because this number is the same as the last time we looked at it before the update statement.
When we executed the select query on the table with a filter on the id column again, there is no storage index usage, because the storage index session statistic didn’t increase.
Let’s try another case: update a column in the table for which storage indexes are created on another column.
So…this strongly suggests the update invalidated our storage index, even when the column was not in the storage index.
Yes, there it is again, the previous statement didn’t benefit from the storage indexes, but build them, and now we take advantage of it again.
I ran these tests on a quarter rack without any other usage. The method I used for measuring how storage indexes behave was to execute on the database layer, and see the result on the storage layer and in database layer session statistics. It’s important to realise that despite this being quite strong evidence, there isn’t definite proof on my conclusion. Also, the behaviour described can change in future storage server versions.
My conclusion is that the storage server uses a system change number to validate if the storage indexes are valid. If not, storage indexes are not used. If blocks contained in a storage index progresses it’s system change number (in other words: are updated), the storage index is invalidated right away (during my tests, when the update starts, no or few storage indexes remain).
So, the ones that picked storage indexes being invalidated were right. As far as I could detect, there is no updating of storage indexes.
This is the fourth post on a serie of postings on how to get measurements out of the cell server, which is the storage layer of the Oracle Exadata database machine. Up until now, I have looked at the measurement of the kind of IOs Exadata receives, the latencies of the IOs as as done by the cell server, and the mechanism Exadata uses to overcome overloaded CPUs on the cell layer.
This post is about the statistics on the disk devices on the operating system, which the cell server also collects and uses. The disk statistics are ideal to combine with the IO latency statistics.
This will output the name of the thread-log file, in which the “devio_stats” dump has been made.
What is of interest here is that if the cell disk is allocated inside a partition instead of the whole disk, the cell server will keep statistics on both the entire device (/dev/sda, dev/sdb) and the partition (/dev/sda3, dev/sdb3). Also, the statistics are kept on both the rotating disks and the flash disks, as you would expect.
When looking in the “devio_stats” dump, there are a few other things which are worthy to notice. The lines with statistics do not have timestamp or other time indicator, it’s only statistics. The lines are displayed per device, with the newest line on top. The dump indicates it dumps the IO device statistics which the cell keeps for the last 1800 seconds (30 minutes). If you count the number of lines which (apparently) are kept by the cell server, the count is 599, not 1800. If you divide the time by the number of samples, it appears the cell takes a device statistics snapshot every 3 seconds. The cell server picks up the disk statistics from /proc/diskstats. Also, mind the cell measures the differences between two periods in time, which means the numbers are averages over a period of 3 seconds.
Two other things are listed in the statistics: ‘trigerConfine’ (which probably should be “triggerConfine”), which is a mechanism for Oracle to manage under performing disks.
The other thing is “DMWG”. At this moment I am aware DMWG means “Disk Media Working Group”, and works with the concept of peers.
To get a better understanding of what the difference is between the ServiceTime and Latency columns, see this excellent writeup on IO statistics from Bart Sjerps. You can exchange the ServiceTime for svctm of iostat or storage wait as Bart calls it, and Latency for await or host wait as Bart calls it.
Exadata: what kind of IO requests has a cell been receiving?
When you are administering an Exadata or more Exadata’s, you probably have multiple databases running on different database or “computing” nodes. In order to understand what kind of IO you are doing, you can look inside the statistics of your database, and look in the data dictionary what that instance or instances (in case of RAC) have been doing. When using Exadata there is a near 100% chance you are using either normal redundancy or high redundancy, of which most people know the impact of the “write amplification” of both normal and high redundancy of ASM (the write statistics in the Oracle data dictionary do not reflect the additional writes needed to satisfy normal (#IO times 2) or high (#IO times 3) redundancy). This means there might be difference in IOs between what you measure or think for your database is doing, and actually is done at the storage level.
But what if you want to know what is happening on the storage level, so on the level of the cell or actually “cellsrv”, which is the process which makes IO flow to your databases? One option is to run “iostat -x”, but that gives a list that is quite hard readable (too much disk devices); and: it doesn’t show you what the reason for the IO was: redo write? controlfile read? Archivelog? This would especially be great if you want to understand what is happening if your IO behaves different than you expect, and you’ve ruled out IORM.
As an aid for searching your dump in thread-logfile: search (“/” when you use “less” for it), enter the following (using the above example, with sequence #18): “/sequence\ #18”, without ‘”‘.
Please mind the numbers here are IOs, it doesn’t say anything about the size of the IOs. Also please mind these are numbers of a single cell, you probably have 3, 7 or 14 cells.
In my opinion this IO summary can be of much value during IO performance investigations, but also during proofs of concept.
This will reset the IO reasons table in the cell.
PS1: Thanks to Nikolay Kovachev for pointing out the ‘ioreasons’ resetstats parameter. Indeed ‘all’ is way too blunt.
PS2: The IO numbers seem to be the number IO requests the cell has gotten from it’s clients (ASM and database) for data, not for metadata. During a smartscan metadata flows in between the database and the cell server before data is actually served.

A can do a work in 9 days, B can do a work in 7 days, C can do a work in 5 days. A works on the first day, B works on the second day and C on the third day respectively that is they work on alternate days. When will they finish the work ?
Answer : 3 [6 (261/315)] days Explanation : Answer: C) [6 (261/315)] days Explanation: After day 1, A finishes 1/9 of the work.After day 2, B finishes 1/7 more of the total work. (1/9) (1/7) is finished.After day 3, C finishes 1/5 more of total work. Total finished is 143/315.So, after day 6, total work finished is 286/315. Now remaining work = 29 /315 On day 7, A will work again Work will be completed on day 7 when A is working. He must finish 29/315 of total remaining work. Since he takes 9 days to finish the total task, he will need 261/315 of the day. Total days required is 6 (261/315) days.

Right now, Dr. Johnson is three times older than his son.
When Dr. Johnson was 37 years old, his son was 3 years old.
How old are Dr. Johnson and his son now?
Answer: Dr. Johnson is 51 and his son is 17 years old.
Assume that Dr. Johnson is X years old and his son is Y years old.
Then 3Y = X, and X – Y = 34.
Solving for X and Y, we get X = 51 and Y = 17.

It is 37.7 miles according to Google Maps.

How long would it take to fly anywhere on Earth using a SpaceX rocket?
How long would it take to fly anywhere on Earth using a SpaceX rocket?
Answer: less than an hour.
Before he gets us to Mars, Elon Musk wants to get us anywhere on Earth in under an hour.
At Friday’s International Astronautical Conference, the CEO of SpaceX revealed the company’s plans for its largest airborne vehicle yet, the BFR. While originally intended to facilitate SpaceX’s goal of putting humans on Mars by 2024, Musk announced that he also envisions using the rocket for high-speed Earth travel.
The world’s longest flight — from Doha, Qatar, to Auckland, New Zealand — currently takes 16.5 hours. However, with SpaceX’s BFR rocket, flight time would be just 45 minutes.

The June financial shopping numbers released by Compete revealed a mixed bag as interest in credit cards, home equity, and purchase loans fell double digits compared to a year ago. However, deposit activity moved in the opposite direction.
Although credit card application volume was relatively flat (down 1% for the year and down 4% for the month), the number of shoppers decreased 39% compared to a year ago. Although the data shows only application volume, there has likely been a sharp drop in approvals, as underwriting standards stiffen and credit-worthy applicants stay on the sidelines.
In June there was a slight drop in checking shoppers (down 4%) and applications (down 5%) compared to May. However, year-over-year both were up with a 32% increase in shoppers and a 6% increase in applicants.
However, savings shoppers increased 51% from last year and 7% from May with applications up 43% compared to last year and 24% over last month.
High-yield savings showed similar gains compared to a year ago, with 31% more shoppers and 30% more applications.
Home equity and purchase mortgage activity were both off compared to the previous month and also a year ago. The only good news was an increase in refi activity with 10% more shoppers than May and 27% more than a year ago. But application volumes were down 21% from May and down 34% compared to last year.
A little over a year ago, we introduced the Financial Services Monthly Performance scorecard produced by Compete. It summarizes the overall performance of 23 large U.S. financial institutions and lead-generation sites. Refer here for the detailed methodology as well as companies tracked.
1. Year-over-year comparisons were added to the chart beginning in March 2008. Because of ongoing methodology tweaks, the percentages in this table may be slightly different than if you went back to the data from a year ago and calculated the change.
2. Leads/applicants = Leads or applications depending on whether the site tracked is a lead-generation site or an actual lender.
Now that we are well past the mid-point of 2008, it’s a good time to look at where we are with one of the most talked-about online financial subjects of the decade: person-to-person or social lending.
Prosper: Through July, the leader in the market is running 10% ahead of its 2007 loan-origination pace. The company has funded $55 million and is on pace to do just under $100 million for the year. Website traffic is up 15% compared to a year ago (see graph below) and through July there have been 13% more loan listings (see previous coverage here, Finovate 2007 Best of Show video here; monthly volume reports here).
Zopa: The company, which isn’t technically person-to-person (the loans are originated by six credit union partners) but definitely has a social aspect to its loan program, has not revealed any numbers, but they list 475 loans on the “browse all borrowers page.” Assuming average loan size of $8000 to $9000, they are doing less than $1 million per month. Zopa is using Google AdWords to pitch “instant approval” with a credit score of 640+ (see screenshot below), an aggressive marketing move, especially combined with the 8.49% APR touted on the landing page (see screenshot below; previous coverage here; FinovateStartup 2008 Best of Show video here).
Lending Club: The company, launched in May 2007, has been essentially closed to new business since March as they retooled loans into securities for regulatory reasons. However, the company is scheduled to present at our Oct. 14 Finovate conference, implying that they will be out of their quiet period by then (previous coverage here; Finovate 2007 video here).
Loanio: The startup appears to be very close to launching based on an a Sept. 3rd email sent to its house list announcing the launch “in just a few weeks” and adding in parenthesis (yes, we mean it this time!). The company will likely be the first to offer a co-borrower loan application (previous coverage here; Finovate Startup video here).
Pertuity Direct: The newest competitor in the space is Pertuity Direct which we wrote about last week. Its website claims a Sept. 15 launch, and we look forward to seeing their first public demo at Finovate on Oct. 14.
Finally, several companies are looking to launch P2P services in 2008 or 2009, including Globefunder, Community Lend (Canada) and one we just heard about today, Swap-A-Debt.

In the year or so that they’ve been widely available, so-called reward checking, those high-yielding accounts that require a hefty number of debit card transactions (see note 1), have attracted quite a following.
Although $5 billion isn’t even the rounding error across the entire $3-trillion U.S. retail deposit market, it’s real money to the smaller banks and credit unions offering the program.
1. Most accounts require 10 to 12 debit transactions per month in order to earn the high yield. For more info, see our previous coverage and Finovate Startup video here.

May continued to show increases in both deposit and home-loan shoppers while demand for credit cards edged downward. On a year-over-year basis, almost all segments are down with the exception of home equity and home purchase.
Credit card shopping was down slightly (-1%) compared to April and down 7% in applicants. Conversion also declined 2% over the previous month.
Compared to April, deposits had big gains in both checking and savings shopping, up 8% and 5% respectively.
Both savings and high-yield savings saw more than 20% gains in number of applicants compared to the previous month; however, both were down compared to a year ago.
Despite increased shopping volumes, home-secured lending, as measured by the number of leads and/or applications, dropped compared to last month. The largest was the 38% drop in refinance activity.
Conversion rates were down in all three loan categories, dropping 1% in home equity, 2% in purchase, and 4% in refinance.
A year ago, we introduced the Financial Services Monthly Performance scorecard produced by Compete. It summarizes the overall performance of 23 large U.S. financial institutions and lead-generation sites. Refer here for the detailed methodology as well as companies tracked.
1. Year-over-year comparisons were added to the chart beginning in March 2008. Because of ongoing methodology tweaks, the percentages in this table may be slightly different than if you went back to the data from a year ago and calculated the change.

According to Compete, website traffic to personal-finance startup Mint increased to 460,000 in July compared to 400,000 the month before, for a 13% increase. Site traffic has quadrupled since December, gaining 350,000 unique monthly visitors.
As expected, Bank of America reached the one-million-mobile-user milestone this week. Last month the bank disclosed it had 840,000 active mobile users as of March 31. With 160,000 new users in the past 9+ weeks, it appears that BofA has stayed on the 75,000/mo pace of first quarter.
Even more interesting to me was the news that the bank has "nearly 25 million" online banking users. That's 3 million more than the bank had last fall, an impressive 13% gain. Six years ago, there weren't even 20 million online banking households in the entire country (see note 1).
Change Sciences, publishing under the moniker of its new Kantuit research service, just released its latest financial services website evaluation. The report uses proprietary user-experience modeling to rate, rank and compare 18 leading banking sites on how easy it is to find, select, and open a new deposit account online (see Table 1, inset).
Citibank and WaMu were ranked one and two and scored significantly better than the others. Wachovia was third, scoring about 20% higher (the lower the score, the better). Bank of America, Fifth Third and BB&T were in the next tier, finishing about 50% higher. Among mega-banks, U.S. Bank had the worst score, more than double the leaders.
The Change Science score includes various components that show how a consumer may struggle with various aspects of the application process. These individual scores are totaled to come up with the final composite score shown in Table 1 right.
Download an abstract of the research results here (registration required). The full report runs $4,000; a significant investment yes, but you could make that up with just a handful of additional good deposit accounts.
In its latest quarterly financial results (here), Bank of America said it signed up 224,000 new users during the quarter to bring its active mobile banking base to 840,000. Assuming the 75,000/mo pace continues through second quarter, the bank should be over 900,000 now and will surpass 1 million in the next few weeks.
Although it’s a nice milestone, it’s only 4% of the bank’s 23+million active online banking users (here). Given that mobile is pushed frequently in the bank’s online banking area, one could argue that 4% adoption is pretty anemic. But according to M:Metrics, less than 14% of U.S. mobile phone users accessed info via the mobile Web in February. So 4% of a 14% universe is much more impressive, indicating the bank has tapped almost 1/3 of the short-term potential for mobile Web-based services, a good start.
To really goose adoption, text-based solutions may need more emphasis (see Chase screenshot below). According to M:Metrics, U.S. text users outnumbered mobile Web users almost 4 to 1 in February, 110 million to 30 million.
These adoption rates are about what we expected. In the forecast published a year ago in our Online Banking Report on Mobile Banking, we were relatively bearish short term, projecting 900,000 mobile users by year-end 2007 growing to 2.5 million by the end of 2008.
With BofA reporting 840,000 and assuming they have about half of all users, the U.S. market has likely already passed the 1.5 million mark and will end the year at more than 3 million.
The adoption rate depends on how hard banks push mobile options. Along with BofA, Chase has been one of the most aggressive, showing mobile use in its advertising for several years now (previous coverage here). I love its “Text your account. It texts you back.” Just seven words conveying more than most 3-minute demos.
According to data from Compete’s consumer panel, March rebounded from the lower traffic in February. Every product, except standard savings accounts, posted increases in the number of applications. Credit cards were the biggest gainer (up 24% in shoppers, up 13% in applications) following sharp declines the past few months. Home loans market performed similarly, with double-digit increases in applications for both purchase (up 15%) and refinances (up 12%).
New this month, we have valid year-over-year comparisons shown (see note 1). Compared to a year ago, both checking and credit cards applicants and shoppers have risen significantly. Home loan shoppers are up slightly, but applications are up.
Credit cards saw a large jump in both shoppers and applicants. The credit crisis seems to have benefited the credit cards market as applications, especially for balance-transfer cards, have increased. Compared to a year ago, shoppers are up 47% and applicants are up 53%. However, conversion dropped by 2% from February.
Deposits saw overall shopper loss in all three segments during March, but applications for checking were up 2% as were high-yield savings (up 8%). Last year at this time, deposits were increasing across all segments. In March of 2008, however, applicant levels are below what they were in 2007 with 31% drop in high-yield savings applicants and a 7% decline in all savings accounts.
After a terrible February, refinance mortgages posted a 27% gain in shoppers as well as a 12% gain in applicants. Year-over-year refinance applications are up 32% from a year ago. Purchase mortgages also saw a similar improvement from last month with a gain of 23% over last year. Home equity had the largest gain in applications in the month of March as leads/applications (note 2) grew 34%. Year over year, however, applications are down 32% due to the housing crisis of the past few months.
A year ago, we introduced the Financial Services Monthly Performance scorecard produced by Compete. It summarizes the overall performance of 23 large U.S. financial institutions and lead-generation sites. Refer here for the detailed methodology as well as companies tracked.
1. New this month: Year-over-year comparisons are now included in the monthly table. Because of ongoing methodology tweaks, the percentages in this table may be slightly different than if you went back to the data from a year ago and calculated the change.
2. Leads/applicants = Leads or applications depending on whether the site being tracked is a lead-generation site or an actual lender.
In an unscientific poll of 500 Facebook users (see note 1), we found that 13% of respondents are interested in accessing their bank balance through their Facebook account (red bar below).
While that’s not exactly a ringing endorsement of the idea, it’s potentially enough early adopters to get the service rolling. Most of the interest emanated from younger segments. For example, 18% of 18-to-24 year-olds said they’d probably use Facebook banking (gray bar below) compared to about 5% of the 25-49 group (green and yellow bars below).
But it will take education to move “Facebook banking” into the mainstream. The majority of respondents, 70%, said there is “no way” they’d bank within Facebook and another 13% said probably not, resulting in a strong 83% negative rating. Given well-founded concerns surrounding online security, that’s not surprising.
1. Survey was conducted April 9 through Facebook’s polling mechanism. Total respondents = 500. Respondents are self-selected so the results should not be used to forecast specific demand.

Elderly self-care is a concept that has been gaining in popularity in recent years. In short, it’s exactly what it sounds like: It’s a set of tools and strategies designed to encourage elderly people to care for themselves and to be in charge of their own health. Adherents of this movement view self-care as an alternative to care facilities and nursing homes that take care of all their patients’ needs.
One motivation for the self-care movement is for individuals to begin pushing back against worldwide medical care industry that increasingly treats patients as customers. We all have a right to be healthy and happy in our senior years, but certain segments of the medical system may actually work against this.
Even if you don’t take this cynical view of health care, there’s no denying the practical benefits of self-care. For one thing, it helps keep elderly individuals stay sharp for a longer time, and it gives them a feeling of control over their own lives. Meanwhile, it also eases the burden on family members.
What are the best ways to encourage self-care in an elderly relative?
1) Be open. Unfortunately, some people don’t have the patience to openly discuss health issues with elderly relatives, either because they want to shield their loved one from the truth, or they don’t think he or she will understand. This is a mistake. Elderly people feel much more secure and in control when they understand the conditions they have, why they’re experiencing certain symptoms, and what treatment options are available.
2) Don’t assume an elderly person is not capable. Always give your elderly relative a chance to perform tasks on her own. Of course, when we see our grandmother or grandfather having difficulty with something, it’s only natural to want to give them a hand. While in many cases we should help, it never hurts to ask first, just in case they want to do it on their own.
3) Don’t rush. If your relative feels that you’re sitting around waiting for her to finish a task, she may give up. Always make sure your relative knows that she can take as much time as she needs to do something.
4) Install enhancements and equipment. Step ramps, shower seats, and bathroom railings are just a few examples of minor, relatively cheap household improvements that make self-care much easier.
5) Inform care-giving staff. If your elderly relative lives in a care facility or receives periodic home health care, tell the professionals who work with her that you’re trying to encourage self-care. Because these individuals are paid to help, it’s their natural tendency to want to do everything for their patients. However, if you talk to them, most will be understanding and supportive of self-care techniques.
6) Address problem areas. For instance, if your elderly relative has trouble making her own meals, try to get to the bottom of the difficulty. Maybe the cabinets in the kitchen are hard to reach. Maybe things are too spread out. Sometimes, simple rearrangement of elements in a room can do wonders.
7) Take an active role. Although it may sound like an oxymoron, it’s important for family members to be directly involved in an elderly relative’s self-care. Keep the channels of communication open, and monitor how she feels. If she’s not getting proper nutrition, sleep, and timely medication, she won’t feel as good as she could. At times, you may have to step in to make sure that all of these things are happening.

Throughout the fall, organizers and leaders have diligently mounted a campaign focused on securing new police protocols and oversight that will ultimately lead to greater accountability for officers and the Chicago Police Department itself. Led by Organizing Director Shamar Hemphill and Green ReEntry organizer Nasir Blackwell, IMAN’s police accountability work sits at the intersection of larger efforts focused on criminal justice reform and dignified community building.
The campaign aims to address law enforcement policies in all their breadth, focusing on issues from immigration status to stop-and-frisk encounters. IMAN has aligned with nearly a dozen other organizations across the city, representing a dynamic cross-section of active citizens and laying a firm foundation of unity. Partner organizations include: Communities United, Enlace, Target Area Development Corporation, UCCRO, SWOP, One Northside, Action Now and S.O.U.L.
In November, dozens of Marquette Park residents convened at IMAN’s Youth & Arts Wellness Center for a critical “Community Conversation.” During the gathering, attendees spoke candidly about their experiences with local police and voiced their hopes for future improvements, while learning about the citywide campaign and ways to get connected to it. IMAN will continue to help lead the push for substantial police accountability measures in the city of Chicago.
Interested in joining the campaign? Please contact Shamar Hemphill or Nasir Blackwell to learn more and to get involved.
With helping hands from the Mohammed Webb Foundation, Sabeel Pantry, Fairfield Academy and IMAN, nearly 1000 turkeys were distributed to local families on Tuesday, November 22nd. As part of the 16th Annual Chicago Muslim Turkey Drive, staff, youth leaders and organizers united for the total team effort needed to make such a far-reaching initiative successful. Green ReEntry cohort members provided valuable support as well, unloading many pallets of halal, high-quality turkey throughout the day.
IMAN’s participation in the Chicago Muslim Turkey Drive was not simply an isolated effort. Rather, the program is part and parcel of the tradition of grassroots work that IMAN is built on, symbolizing the best of what is possible when selfless citizens convene in order to galvanize their communities.
Spearheaded by Sabeel Pantry and longtime IMAN leader Jihad Shoshara, the Chicago Muslim Turkey Drive received high-profile news coverage from several noted local media outlets. More importantly though, smiles beamed across the faces of hundreds of South Side residents that day as they picked up their turkeys. Such proactive outreach is a powerful reminder of the role that dignified, direct service plays in the betterment of our city.
I am elated that IMAN was recently listed among seven organizations Changing The City For The Better by the renowned nationwide convener Chicago Ideas Week. Such a distinction is only possible with your prayers and support, and securing a table at IMAN’s Annual Dinner on Saturday, December 10th is an important affirmation of that support at this critical time.
The Chicago Ideas Week recognition was also a powerful reminder during a difficult week for many in our larger community. In spite of any potential hardships resulting from the election, our collective mission must be to double down on the work of organizations like IMAN. As an African-American Muslim and daughter of a family that led early American Muslims through very turbulent times, I know that our community can not only withstand hardship but thrive in it.
My father, the late Imam Warith Deen Muhammad (may God have mercy on him), once reminded Muslims of the era of Pearl Harbor and Japanese-American internment, when his community was called the “Black Japs.” The degradation of the Black community and the mischaracterization of Islam as a non-white religion, was undoubtedly linked to the stigmatizing and intimidation of the early American Muslim community. Instead of admitting defeat or falling into despair, those pioneers responded with love for the Creator, themselves and a creative vision for lasting, positive change.
As a long standing IMAN board member, I take great comfort in knowing that my father saw and loved the spirit of hopeful resilience and vision manifested in IMAN’s many programs, campaigns and initiatives. Please join me and my family on Saturday, December 10th at the beautiful South Shore Cultural Center to ensure that work continues to flourish in Chicago, Atlanta and beyond.
I have always taken great inspiration from the prophetic prayer beseeching the Creator to make us a source of Divine Light. I know these last few weeks have felt a little darker for many of us. Yet, at IMAN, we often talk about aspiring to be a light rather than just curse the darkness.
My prayer is that you and your family can take solace in the fact that people like you have built IMAN over the last two decades to be a source of light and hope in the face of challenging times. For thousands of families from all walks of life that are direct recipients of our services, leaders in our organizing campaigns or attendees at our inspiring arts events, that’s exactly what IMAN has come to mean to them.
There have been several renewed calls for coalition, alliance and community building with our brothers and sisters from black, brown and other communities over the past few weeks. I am encouraged by those calls. Yet, I also know that such work needs more than just impassioned calls at times of great anxiety; it also needs sustained commitments to support and grow that work at the deepest levels.
In light of our current moment, I hope that you do all you can to ensure IMAN remains an illuminating source of inspiration by securing your table at this year’s Annual Dinner on Saturday, December 10th at the South Shore Cultural Center. As the legacy of Dr. King reminded us so poignantly this year, our journey to justice continues regardless of who is in office and how many decades have passed. We hope that you will be with us that night as we reflect and renew our commitment to that journey for the years to come.

A man's age at death was one twenty-ninth of the year of his birth. How old was he in 1900?
Answer: He was 44 years old.
From the question you know the man died between 1900 and 1940. We also know his age at death (x) is one twenty-ninth of the year of his birth (29x). If you add his age at death to the year he was born you get the year he died (30x). Only one year between 1900 and 1940 is divisible by 30, 1920 (the year he died). The year he was born can now be found: 1920 * (29/30) = 1856. So in 1900 he was (1900 - 1856) = 44 years old.

Construction sites are rife with hazards and can cause severe injury if neglected or mishandled. Explosions at a construction site can be caused by: (1) Gas leaks (2) Faulty electrical wiring (3) Faulty heavy duty equipment and/or (4) flammable materials.
Federal and state regulations require employers to maintain safe working environments. There are many construction-related fatalities that could have been prevented if the employer was not negligent.
Compressed cylinders of extremely flammable gases can be found at most construction sites. Acetylene is used to power the welding, cutting, brazing, and soldering of metal, while propane is often used to fuel forklifts and other heavy machinery. Both gases are dangerous on their own and can cause explosions. Compressed gas can also cause chemical burns, poisoning, and asphyxiation.
The production and storage of compressed gas cylinders are regulated. Manufacturers and employers are legally bound to inspect and test cylinders for faults. They must also store the cylinders properly. Bottles should be chained to walls to prevent breakage and stored in the shade to prevent overheating. All workers on site must receive proper training on how to safely use and handle gas bottles.

Topeka Roof Coatings give building owners a number of benefits including waterproofing the roof substrate, helping to prevent roof leaks, and creating more energy efficient interior climate control. A roof coating can be used for flat roof maintenance and flat roof repair. When used for building roof maintenance, roof coatings can qualify for a 100% tax deduction the first year!
More benefits of Topeka Roof Coatings are they are seamless, bright white, and reflective. This means, in addition to limiting the areas where a leak can occur - seams are one of the most common places where a roof leak begins - the bright white reflectivity of the roof coating makes the sun's harmful UV rays bounce off the top coat before harming the roof. This also reduces thermo-cycling, the destructive process where the sun's heat wears down the roof prematurely due expansion and contraction.
Topeka Roof Coatings are elastomeric roof coatings that will seal and protect almost any roof substrate including modified bitumen roofs, smooth builtup roof, gravel built up roof, spray foam, concrete flat roofs, metal roofing, EPDM, single-ply, wood, steel, and most traditional roofing systems. Topeka Roof Coatings are rubber roof membranes that are liquid applied and require minimal roof top equipment. This provides the building owner with a business as usual condition during the roof coating application process. After the roof coating application is complete, most root coating experts can offer a long term, roof coating manufacturer material and/or system warranty to keep your mind at ease.
Topeka Roof Coatings have roofing systems that UL, FM Approved, and Miami-Dade County approved. Energy Star products and systems are also Roof Coating Topeka standards.

Because of overwhelming need, we are almost rented out already on the paraffin ear candles!! We ought to have another order by the end of the week Aug 26th.
100% Genuine Beeswax Ear Candles without ingredients like soy. Take pleasure in the natural benefits of Propolis within beeswax.
Lavender Paraffin Head Candles without any soy additives. Flake out to the calming fragrance of jasmine while continuing to enjoy the benefits of Head Candling.
We are exploring introducing potential items like eucalyptus infused paraffin hearing candles, herbal blend paraffin hearing candles, and organic beeswax head candles. Let's know what you think.
In the event that you any new suggestions we would like to here from you!
An hearing candle is just a tapered long worthless tube that is put into the outer head canal. One other end is lit unstoppable and the directs smoking down the pipe to the ear. This produces a heating impact on the hearing and several find that experience pleasant and soothing sensation to irritated and sensitive and painful ears. Hearing candles are constructed with many different materials. Most common are paraffin polish (or some mixture of paraffin and soy), beeswax, and typically muslin cotton. Less typically, the cone of the candle is simply newspaper folded and lit.
Cylinder candles are the identical as ear candles, but several suppliers of head candles have already been reluctant to call them ear candles because so many big retail retailers (online and stone and mortar) only do not allow them to be sold because of security problems and unproven net claims. Odds are that you you could have a bit of a harder time obtaining ear candles in the largest online retailers but could find a few listing for wax cylinders.
The sources of head candling is commonly discussed and their ability to create any excellent results is contested very often. Many genuinely believe that head candles produced from historical Egyptians, Indians, Aztecs, etc. As the origin is mainly unknown, european countries have been training hearing candling for years and they had to get the concept from somewhere.
To conclude, my experience is a huge positive one which our household has been training for generations. I am hoping that you can go through the same.

Ancient 1st millennium BCE nomadic people of Anatolia, central in several wars over important territories in the 7th century. Their homeland were the regions neighbouring to Urartu and Lydia.
The first historical accounts date to 714 BCE, and they rose to a regional force around 700 before being defeated to neglect in the 630's or 620's. The strong period of the Cimmerians lasted slightly less than a century.
Their land is often referred to as Gamir, the capital as Gomara, and the people were in ancient texts called Gimirri. The people spoke an Indo-European language, related to Iranian languages.
Our sources are predominantly indirect, there are no Cimmerian texts, and no archaeological finds. The main sources are the account of Herodotus, the 5th century BCE Greek historian, as well as contemporary royal archives of the Assyrians.
Among their more noteworthy kings were Tugdamme, Sandakhshatra and Teushpa.
Due to limited sources, there have been speculations about where the Cimmerians came from, what became of them, but no final conclusions have been reached. It is often suggested that they originated from lands corresponding to Caucasus, eventually relocating to Cappadocia.
714: The Cimmerians attack Urartu, leaving the powerful country heavily weakened.
8th century: Cimmerians, as well as the Scythians and Medes bring the kingdom of Van to an end following individual attacks.
709: Facing the threat of the Cimmerians, Phrygian king Midas submits to Assyria.
705: Assyrian king Sargon 2 dies during a campaign against the Cimmerians.
Early 7th century: The strong city state of Ephesus is conquered by the Cimmerians.
 Cimmerian invasion into Phrygian lands, destroying many of the small kingdoms.
696: The Cimmerians conquer and destroy Gordium, one of Phrygia's main cities. By this, Lydia could take control over much of the old Phrygian territories.
Around 690 BCE: Sinope on the Black Sea is destroyed by the Cimmerians.
679: Cimmerian king, Teushpa, launches attacks on Cilicia and Tabal, but Assyrian king Esarhaddon defeats them near Hubushna. Still, Cimmerians keep control over these two provinces.
676: Phrygia is destroyed by the Cimmerians, leaving Lydia the strongest nation to control western Anatolia.
652: The Cimmerians attacks Lydia, killing king Gyges and causing great destruction to Sardis.
620's: Final battle between Lydia and the Cimmerians, resulting in victory for Lydia, and great weakening of the Cimmerians.
590: Lydia resists an invasion by the Cimmerians. From this time on, the Cimmerians disappears from history.

The 3.0 × 3.0 × 3.0 comes from the formula for the volume of a rectangular solid.
You can read about how to calculate density here.
You have to know the mass and the volume to calculate the density.
You know that the mass is 27 g.
Now you have to calculate the volume.
You know that your sample is a block that is 3.0 cm on each side.
In each of your calculations, the number of decimals is controlled by the number of significant figures.
Every number you use in your calculations has 2 significant figures, so you can have only 2 significant figures in your answers.

Dr. Johnson needs to buy the same number of needles and syringes. The syringes are sold in packages of 6 and the needles are sold in packages of 10. What’s the smallest number of packages of syringes, and the smallest number of packages of needles, that Dr. Johnson can buy to have a matching number of each?
Answer: 5 packages of syringes and 3 packages of needles.
Dr. Johnson needs to come up with the smallest number that is divisible by both 6 and 10.
Since 6=2×3 and 10=2×5, the smallest number that is divisible by 6 and 10 is 2x3x5=30.
Therefore, Dr. Johnson needs 30/6=5 packages of syringes, and 30/10=3 packages of needles.
