+## R Markdown
+
+This is an R Markdown document. Markdown is a simple formatting syntax
+for authoring HTML, PDF, and MS Word documents. For more details on
+using R Markdown see <http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com>.
+
+When you click the **Knit** button a document will be generated that
+includes both content as well as the output of any embedded R code
+chunks within the document. You can embed an R code chunk like this:
+
+``` r
+summary(cars)
+```
+
+    ##      speed           dist       
+    ##  Min.   : 4.0   Min.   :  2.00

+    ##  Mean   :15.4   Mean   : 42.98  
+    ##  3rd Qu.:19.0   3rd Qu.: 56.00  
+    ##  Max.   :25.0   Max.   :120.00
+
+## Including Plots
+
+You can also embed plots, for example:
+
+![](dc-using_arrow_files/figure-gfm/pressure-1.png)<!-- -->
+
+Note that the `echo = FALSE` parameter was added to the code chunk to
+prevent printing of the R code that generated the plot.
