IHS, Ontario firm sign partnership
THE market for a Winnipeg company's automated hospital pharmacy equipment is getting bigger than its production facility can handle.
This week, Intelligent Hospital Systems announced it has entered into a manufacturing partnership with ATS Automation of Cambridge, Ont.
ATS will become the global manufacturer of IHS's Robotic IV Automation (RIVA) units.
The Winnipeg company, formed about six years ago with technology developed at the St. Boniface General Hospital Research Centre, will maintain its in-house research and development laboratory and will continue to develop product prototypes and enhancements at its Winnipeg headquarters.
CEO Niels Erik Hansen said the move to ATS's production facilities -- it has 20 around the world -- will likely mean his Winnipeg workforce of about 135 will lose about 10 positions in the next few months. He said high-level engineering technical positions will remain in Winnipeg.
He said demand for the $1.25-million robotic units that increase the speed and accuracy of hospital pharmacy compounding will soon outstrip the company's ability to make them.
Since its first sale at the end of 2008, the company has sold and installed about 26 units and this year it might come close to equalling that sales total.
An outbreak of meningitis last year in the U.S., that was traced back to contaminated IV compounds from an outsourcing operation in Massachusetts, has provided an enhanced in interest in IHS.
Despite that spike in demand, Hansen said the company has been working on a plan to deal with European and Asian sales.
He said the company is expecting at least a couple of sales to Europe this year. "We need to have systems in place to deliver those sales. It's not something you want to have to ship by air. And we need to have the ability to install and service our units all around the world."
Hansen said because of the sophistication of the units and the high degree of regulatory control, the agreement with ATS has been in the works for some time. Planning for the partnership began in 2011 and last year, ATS successfully manufactured multiple RIVA systems.
In addition to North America, ATS maintains automation facilities across Western Europe, as well as in India, China, Malaysia and Singapore. With about 2,400 employees and about $600 million in annual revenue, ATS is leading outsource manufacturer for some of the top names in the sector, including General Electric.
The robotics system of the RIVA unit has a high-tech look but Hansen downplayed the need to continue to make the glassed-in stainless-steel units in-house. "Robotics have been around for 40 years. The real value of what we do is in the software and control systems. I would rather see us grow that side of the business here than to try to build a larger manufacturing operation here."
Although sales are increasing, it would be tough for the small firm to pull that off with a product that will never need to be mass-produced.
But its star has been rising in the global market.
Last fall, IHS received a glowing endorsement from KLAS, an independent market research firm headquartered in Orem, Utah, that specializes in rating health-care technology vendors by impartially measuring vendor performance.
Its October 2012 report stated, "Although adoption is still early, the Intelligent Hospital Systems' RIVA was the highest-rated robot in every category in this study. IHS has steadily delivered upgrades that improve functionality and providers report IHS to be a good partner that provides exceptional service."

ANZ targets home buyers with seminar series and new accounts for first time buyers
ANZ has launched two new initiatives aimed at attracting home buyers ranging from first-timers to those seeking to get involved in property investment.
The bank will be holding a series of free public seminars on a range of housing-related topics, initially in the Auckland area, starting from late February.
It is planned to conduct similar seminars in other parts of the country later in the year.
Additionally, the bank has launched a specific new product - ANZ First Home - targeting depositors saving for their first house. People registering for the package before March 31 could be up for a $10,000 prize to "kick-start" their deposit.
The seminars, titled the ANZ Property Unlocked Speaker Series brings together industry experts to help buyers through the steps to home ownership, the ANZ said.
The six different seminars will cover: How to buy a first home, how to buy at auction, maximising the value of existing property, buying property for people who are new to New Zealand, and how to become a property investor.
ANZ retail managing director Kerri Thompson said the seminar series "arms people with the knowledge they need to avoid the pitfalls and to be in control of one of the biggest purchases of their lives".
"The series will also benefit those who are investing in property or renovating property. We've sourced industry experts to share their experience and knowledge with buyers,
renovators and investors," she said. Industry experts include representatives from: Bayleys Real Estate, Withers Tsang and Co Chartered Accountants, Wadsworth Ray Lawyers, the Auckland Property Investors Association and Jennian Homes.
Related Topics
Mrs Thompson said the ANZ First Home package combined all ANZ's products, services and resources that first-home buyers needed.
"For most home buyers, the first step – saving the deposit – is the biggest challenge of all. Staying focused on a major savings goal isn't easy, especially when it can take
months or years," Mrs Thompson said.
"We wanted to make it easy for home buyers and help keep them on track – from deciding what their target deposit is, to tracking their savings against this target, to providing them information that they need at the time they need it."
She said customers could view their progress on the ANZ First Home website, which displays a virtual house that starts from the foundations and comes together as a buyer's savings grow. At certain milestones, customers will receive emails marking their progress and providing tips and tricks relevant to that stage.

Next big thing for hard drives: self-assembling polymers
University of Texas at Austin boffins are touting an advance in materials which could help squeeze five times as much data onto hard drives. At a Terabit per square inch, data density is pretty impressive, but it's getting difficult to put the magnetic elements of hard drives any closer together without them starting to affect …
I think Keith Haring has prior art on this.
Alan Turing worked on the subject of 'self organisation':
Shrinking the font size on stone tablets
This two dimensional surface nanotechnology is cool but the third dimension in hard drives remains enormous. Memory circuits that could be laid down in thin layers would have more storage even if the two dimensional density of each layer is very low. More research there, please.
the question is how *much* patterning is required.
A key reason HDD cost per bit is lower than than semiconductor storage is the *very* simple patterning requirements.
This sounds good as long as they are no more complex than existing procedures.
Anything needing sub micrometre imaging would be a complete fail.
OTOH copolymers imply (potentially) magnet elements down to atomic cluster sizes(part of one polymer) *properly* separated by controlled numbers of "insulating" layers (of other polymer).
That said depth remains *the* unexplored dimension of HDD storage, possibly because no one seems to have found a way to do depth selection in the way wavelength selection can be done with multiple layers in a Blu-ray disk.
It looks remarkably similar to what spilled linseed oil does after a while.

Patients can help avoid looming 'antibiotic apocalypse'
Patients, politicians, doctors, nurses, pharmacists and pharmaceutical manufacturers all need to stop perpetuating the myth that antibiotics can and should treat all infections.

If the chief medical officer of England is to be believed, an "antibiotic apocalypse" is imminent. Dame Sally Davies made headlines when she warned British MPs about antibiotic resistance. She envisions the following medical scenario: "When I need a new hip in 20 years I'll die from a routine infection because we've run out of antibiotics." And she's not alone: the World Health Organization also flagged this critical problem — two years ago.
But spend any time in a pharmacy during cold and flu season and you would never guess the imminent danger posed by the vast quantities of antibiotics that fly off drugstore shelves. If your doctor prescribes you pills ending in -illin, -mycin or -floxacin, and if she says you must take all of them even if the symptoms are relieved, then you have been given an antibiotic. Antibiotics effectively treat bacterial infections like pneumonia and meningitis. They do not heal viral infections (you need antivirals for that). And yet as many as 20 per cent of all antibiotic prescriptions are for acute viral illnesses, such as bronchitis, sinus infections and the common cold.
We call the misuse of antibiotics to treat viruses "over-prescribing," and the practice is contributing to antibiotic resistance and the spread of superbugs. Unfortunately, we have not yet solved the problem of over-prescribing. The term implies that physicians need only prescribe fewer antibiotics. However, efforts to help physicians reduce such prescriptions have had only a modest impact. Too many people believe antibiotics will help with colds and flus, and busy physicians are ill-equipped to fix the myth.
Every month we hear about the strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (now commonly known by its acronym MRSA) and clostridium difficile polluting our hospitals and nursing homes, causing illness and death. Great efforts are being made to contain the superbugs, but they are still spreading. In December, the first signs of a totally drug-resistant strain of gonorrhea emerged in Toronto.
Frustrating and terrifying as the situation is, we can all take measures to avoid the threatening apocalypse. We can wash our hands and demand that our health professionals do the same. We can get vaccinated, and stay at home when we are sick. If we get a prescription for antibiotics, we can take it as directed and not share it or save it for some future infection.
We also need to stop expecting antibiotics for minor infections. Adults get an average of two to four colds per year. Kids get six to eight. Colds are viral infections that regularly cause nasal congestion, headaches, sore throats and coughs. Yet research recently published in the Annals of Family Medicine revealed that people expect an acute cough to last around a week, when in fact, it lasts an average of two and a half weeks.
An antibiotic can relieve our sore throats an average of 16 hours earlier. But 90 per cent of all sore throats are caused by a virus. Instead of expecting an antibiotic, we can see a physician to confirm if we are among the 10 per cent of people with a bacterial infection. Or we can be patient and hope the antibiotic is instead used to save the life of someone hospitalized with pneumonia.
Or maybe, when we have a sinus infection, 99 per cent of which are caused by a virus, we can skip the antibiotic that only helps one out of every 18 people heal a little faster. Instead, we can ask our physician or pharmacist for other treatments that may help our symptoms.
And instead of being among the 60 to 80 per cent of people who get a prescription for acute bronchitis even though antibiotics don't effectively treat it, well, we can prepare ourselves for a cough that may last three or more weeks and know that this, too, shall pass.
We are all responsible for antibiotic resistance. Patients, politicians, doctors, nurses, pharmacists and pharmaceutical manufacturers. We all need to stop perpetuating the myth that antibiotics can and should treat all infections. Antibiotics are a precious and limited resource. If we do not protect them, then soon enough they will not protect us, either.

MP team and Daniel de Jong commit to full Auto GP campaign in 2012
|Friday, January 27th 2012, 16:57 GMT
Dutch team MP Motorsport has committed to a maiden full-time campaign in Auto GP for the 2012 season.
The team has already firmed up the first of its two drivers, with Daniel de Jong set to build on his three exploratory race weekends with Auto GP in the series last year.
Dutchman de Jong, 19, drove in Formula Renault 2.0 for three seasons with MP before moving into Formula Renault 3.5 last year with Comtec Racing.
MP will collaborate this year with British team Manor Competition, as reported in this week's AUTOSPORT magazine.
Team manager Sander Dorsman said: "Last year we only did a few races in Auto GP but it went really well. We were really eager to be a full-time entrant and run two cars in the championship. It's a good challenge.
"We are really happy that Daniel with continue with us. He did a very good job with us last year, especially at Oschersleben [where he finished sixth]."

The Word for today:
Exodus 32
The Tabernacle is God's picture book, illustrating the great doctrines of the Christian faith. And Stand in the Rain has been commissioned by God Himself (Matthew 28:18-20) to be your official Tabernacle tour guide…
We've come through the Tabernacle Gate, but we did not come in empty-handed. We brought the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world (1).
Directly ahead of us is the altar of burnt offering, where the fire of judgment will consume sin. This altar of burnt (totally consumed) offering is the primary Old Testament picture of the cross.
In a real way (not allegorically or figuratively) Jesus Christ became sin on the cross (2). It is important to understand that the sins were not his own, but they belonged to (your name here).
At the same time, (your name here) became the righteousness of God in him (2). It is important to understand that the righteousness is not yours, but it belongs to Jesus.
But we "wear" his righteousness like a garment, and so we can approach God. Without Jesus' righteousness, we could not proceed any farther. We would, in fact, get tossed from the Tabernacle! –
Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy. Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.' And those servants went out into the roads and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment. And he said to him, 'Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless. Then the king said to the attendants, 'Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness.' (Matthew 22:8-13)
Note that the man without the imputed righteousness of God was not only tossed out, but he was speechless! This illustrates that we cannot approach God, even verbally through prayer, unless we come in the Name and righteousness of Christ. For if we approach God in our own "righteousness"–which God views as filthy rags (3)–God's holiness would (because it must) totally consume our sin.
So totally consumed would we be, that there would be nothing left but the ashes that were left when an animal was sacrificed in place of the sinner at the burnt altar of the Tabernacle.
But if by faith Jesus took your place at the altar of burnt offering/the cross, then you can forever join in with the forgiven, who will forever say–
Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23)
(1) John 1:29 (2) 2 Corinthians 5:21; (3) Isaiah 64:6

All the Right Lies: The Conservative War on Truth and the American Idea Now Available
In All the Right Lies: The Conservative War on Truth and the American Idea, author Buck Beasom shows the overwhelming evidence for climate changes and shows how the Far Right knowingly lies about these facts for political gain.
"There really isn't and credible scientist, responsible political figure, or sane person who does not recognize the reality of climate change, or the role of human activity in causing it", says Beasom. Giving numerous examples of the many situations in which the American people have been directly lied to, knowingly, by the GOP, Beasom also points to the countless situations where the Right has lauded those who destroy the environment, refusing to punish them and apologizing when they've been pressured into doing so.
Beasom also uses the tobacco companies' behavior in the past as an example of the way that health and environment are given second place to big companies by the GOP and the Far Right. He reminds us how the government issued cigarettes to the GIs in WWII to garner a ready-made group of nicotine addicts for Big Tobacco when the soldiers returned to the States. In the same way, today, the Far Right knowingly denies client change to benefit Big Business. Beasom says, "Unfortunately, where climate change is concerned, we are in tobacco's 1950's of awareness, and it's 1930's in terms of impact".
"The American Right is a movement based on the idea that people will willingly and happily embrace lies, and is promoted by people who are more than willing to tell them", writes Beasom. Although controversial, All the Right Lies: the Conservative War on Truth and the American Idea is an absolutely crucial read for anyone wanting to understand the current political climate and how we got there. Providing hard-hitting evidence for the real agenda of the Far Right, Beasom calls them out on their deceit and half-truths, and gives readers plenty of reason to question the Far Right narrative so frequently promoted on Fox News and conservative Talk Radio.
A native of upstate New York, Buck Beasom taught Business and Accounting at the Rochester Institute of Technology for more than a decade, as well as spent five rewarding years as a history teacher for middle school students. Beasom holds a B.S. in Management Science (Summa Cum Laude) and an MBA in Accounting, and he is a member of MENSA. A Navy veteran, he is also a long-time student of politics, American history, and European history. He currently resides in Tampa, Florida, with his wife of more than 30 years.

Over 3,500-year-old sarcophagus found in Egypt
The find could shed light on a little-known period of Ancient Egypt
Cairo: The discovery of a 3,550-year-old child's sarcophagus near the southern Egyptian city of Luxor could shed light on a little-known period of Ancient Egypt, said Jose Manuel Galan, the head of a Spanish team of archaeologists that made the find.
Experts who for the past three years have explored the vicinity of the tombs of Djehuty and Hery, two high-ranking dignitaries of the Egyptian court between 1500 and 1450 B.C., discovered the intact funeral receptacle lying unprotected on the ground a few days ago.
The archaeologists said they were surprised to find a burial container predating the era of the two officials at that site.
Unlike other sarcophagi, it was not found in a tomb on the hill that overlooks that section of Luxor's west bank, Galan said, adding that he now is interested in finding the remains of the young boy's parents.
Children normally were buried in family cemeteries, according to the expert, who currently is carrying out research at an ancient necropolis that "survived" the excavations of 19th and 20th century Egyptologists because other burial grounds were built on top of it.
The boy's sarcophagus, made of carved wood and painted white, dates to 1550 B.C., an era considered "important because very little is known" about it, Galan said.
It will require looking back at a time when Thebes (present-day Luxor) was a mere provincial capital.
The Theban rulers' reconquest and reunification of Egypt made that city the imperial capital and ushered in a prosperous era.

The replay will take place on Tuesday week at Seaview - something the Blues will not relish as they do not like playing on the artificial surface.
There was a dream start for the Crues, ahead after just 11 seconds when a long ball by Gareth McKeown found Gary McCutcheon and the striker gave Alan Blayney no chance from close range.
The Blues almost found themselves two down on eight minutes when Declan Caddell just failed to connect with another McKeown delivery.
Linfield's first sight of goal arrived on eight minutes with Mark McAllister bringing a fine save out of Sean O'Neill.
Crusaders suffered a double blow on 19 minutes, conceding the equaliser and losing goalkeeper Sean O'Neill through injury. Linfield's in-form striker Matthew Tipton was the man behind the goal, his shot was spilled by O'Neill and Brian McCaul was quick to pounce and tap the ball over the line.
O'Neill injured his shoulder trying to make the save and was unable to continue and with no goalkeeper on the bench midfielder Chris Morrow took over in goal.
Linfield took the lead on 32 minutes but not without controversy with referee Colin Burns awarding the goal although Crusaders will contest the ball did not cross the line. It all came about when a shot from Michael Gault was touched on by Tipton and the Blues had overcome that dreadful start.
The first half drama continued with the home team reduced to ten men just before the break when Johnny Black was red carded for a rash challenge on Aiden Watson.
It was all square again on 55 minutes as Timmy Adamson saw his overhead kick hit the woodwork but he reacted quickest to drill the rebound home and it was game on.
Both teams had chances to win the tie, but in the end a draw was perhaps a fair result.
Cliftonville are safely through after seeing off Ballinamallard 4-2 at Solitude. Joe Gormley fired the Reds in front on 4 minutes but United hit back within 60 seconds as Campbell made it 1-1.
Gormley struck again from the penalty spot before Liam Boyce chipped in with a late double to seal the win.
There was late drama at Ballymena United as the home team clinched a late winner through Alan Davidson to deny battling Warrenpoint a replay.
United hit the front through Shane Dolan but Johnston levelled the tie on 71 minutes before that late winner.
Gary Twigg was the two goal hero for Portadown as they won the Mid-Ulster Cup tie 2-1 against Dungannon who made the home fans sweat for the last 15 minutes after Josh Cahoon pulled a goal back.
Last season Glentoran were involved in one of the biggest cup upsets for years when they crashed out to Newington, but they made no mistake this time around as they romped to a 4-1 win over Killymoon thanks to goals from Birney, Kane, Clarke and Waterworth. Ferry scored for the minnows.
A late equaliser at Inver Park denied Lurgan Celtic from causing a shock win. They led through a Fitzpatrick penalty but Workman struck a minute before the end to force a replay.
Coleraine were the highest scorers of the day as they swept aside Ballynahinch United 7-0.
On target for the Bannsiders were Allen, Harkness (2 pens), Owens, Lowry (2) and McMullan.
Glenavon were not far behind on the goal trail as they saw off H&W Welders 5-1 thanks to goals from Brown, Bates, Martyn, McGrory and McDaid. Welders scored on 90 minutes through Adams.
Institute saw off a stubborn challenge from Rathfriland to win 2-1. Loughgall took the lead against Donegal Celtic through Wesley Boyle but the visitors hit back with goals from Bradley and Miskimmon to go through 2-1.
Lisburn Distillery survived a potential banana skin after going a goal down to Coagh United at home but they eased through in the end with goals from Halliday, Simpson (pen), Hughes (2) and Davidson.
Bangor had the edge in their tie to win 3-2 at Ballyclare Comrades. Murray, Waterson and Cahill found the net for the winners while Comrades goals came from Higgins and McClurg.
Ards beat Immaculata 4-0 in a game which saw three red cards - one for the home team and two for the visitors. Among the goals for Ards were Arthurs, Burrows, Moffett and Cockcroft.
In the early kick-offs Dundela came through a seven goal thriller to defeat Queen's University 4-3. Willie Faulkner with a hat-trick and Jackson were on target for Dundela while a brace from Lavery and an og from Gourley kept Queen's in it.
Knockbreda powered their way into the next round with a 5-1 thumping of Rosario YC. On target for Knockbreda were Wright, Young (2), Chimes and Downey og. McGacken scored on 90 minutes for Rosario.
Tobermore United (Doherty 2) and Kilmore Rec (Trainor, Douglas pen) finished 2-2, the replay is on Tuesday week.

Is the Cloud killing human communication? More specifically, are social networks like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram mixed with texting and video conferencing killing day-to-day, face-to-face human interactions?
Reaction, Not Reason
Before we get into this, we need to preface by stating: we love Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin and Pinterest. We love them because they serve as a megaphone for well placed content. Social media networks serve the business as an avenue for large scale PR and branded content distribution. This said, we have to admit, Cloud based social media applications provide us distraction over contemplation. Beyond any other social media network, Twitter provides us with the ability to react to news/comments in a near stream of conscious. For all of the benefits of Twitter, the micro blogging service has transformed our global culture into reactionary as opposed to contemplative.
As noted by Bill Keller, the former Executive Editor of The New York Times:
"But my inner worrywart wonders whether the new technologies overtaking us may be eroding characteristics that are essentially human: our ability to reflect, our pursuit of meaning, genuine empathy, a sense of community connected by something deeper than snark or political affinity."
Our main issue with Twitter isn't the social networks' ability to provide the sound and fury. No, our main issue with Twitter is that the sound and fury which Twitter creates is taking us all away from doing the things which really matter – the things which make us all quintessentially human: introspection, contemplation, wisdom and knowledge.
Physical Communication Methods
Now, as some of you might notice, we aren't talking about the method by which communication takes place – wording and language. While many people see the downfall of communication within the stunted words of Twitter and shorthand of texting, we disagree with this. Language has always changed. Crafted and morphed by events, writers and history, language has proven to be a living breathing mechanism, which, much like species, evolves over time. While we agree that "lol" or "gr8″ is a shaping force of verbal/written culture, we also see it as a cognitive reaction to the constraints placed around human interaction. That is to say, the medium through which we communicate has changed. Why should the physical language – the prose – be any different?
The promise of the Internet was/is the ability to provide the world at your fingertips. You want information? Just Google it. This is the promise of the Internet. It's a curse in disguise.
The Downside of Instant Information
Memory. The downside of the instant information age is memory. When is the last time you had to figure out where you were going without using a smartphone or Garmen GPS device? With Google at your fingertips, why would you need to remember anything? Don't know something? Just Google it. Our reliance on instant information is akin to us outsourcing our collective knowledge to the Cloud. Why keep anything internally when you can store everything externally?
While this sounds swell, the issue at hand isn't access, it's context. As noted by Meg Wolitzer in The Uncoupling access has been granted to, "the generation that had information, but no context. Butter, but no bread. Craving, but no longing." Put it more blunt: access has killed need. Everything is now available in our Cloud world. Everything but longing and need.
It also has to be mentioned, access doesn't mean knowledge. Access opens information yet it veils introspection, wisdom, complexity, insight and cognitive thought. At Solar VPS, we worry by exporting our sum of knowledge to the Cloud, we have also exported our collective ability to conduct critical thinking. Match this with Twitter and communication has become reactionary and more stupid even as information is more accessible than ever. Without ever having to remember anything and dissect it, we are losing sight of that which makes us human.
Instant access gives way to a lack of understanding and empathy within communication. This leads us to Cloud based video chatting services like Skype and Go To Meeting.
Cloud Empathy
Have you ever gotten a sad or remote feeling post Skype conversation with a loved one? While video chatting with a friend over Skype, have you ever felt more removed from that person even while viewing their smile? This feeling is common.
The largest disconnect with Cloud based communications tools like Skype can be found in their lack of empathy. There are no statistics about it. There is no hard evidence to support the feeling yet the feeling is what matters. Cloud communication tools have the power to connect us to one another faster than ever. All the same, they lack the very thing which fosters human interaction and communication – warmth and feeling.
When mixed, social media communication, instant information and Cloud communication tools empower us while also tearing at the basic fibers of human interaction. We live in a world where expressing our thoughts to the globe is easier than ever but truly connecting with someone is harder than ever. The Cloud communication tools are there, but they aren't getting the job done.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data. By focusing on enterprise applications and the data center, he will use OpenTSDB as an example t...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

'Nazism, Islam shared common enemies - the Jews'
Nazis al Husseini 311.
(photo credit:Courtesy)
NEW YORK – A newly released report by the US National Archives details the close collaborative relationship between Nazi leaders and the grand mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, indicating that Nazi authorities planned to use Husseini as their leader after their conquest of Palestine.Husseini was paid handsomely by the Nazis for his efforts, recruited Muslims for the SS and was promised that he would be made Palestine's leader after its Jewish population of 350,000 had been murdered.RELATED:CIA Report details ties between US and ex-Nazis US Jew who posed as neo-Nazi sues ex-SS officer The report, Hitler's Shadow: Nazi War Criminals, US Intelligence and the Cold War, was prepared on the basis of thousands of documents declassified under the 1998 Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act."Hitler's Shadow" is an addendum to a 2004 US government report, US Intelligence and the Nazis.The new report's authors, Norman J.W. Goda of the University of Florida and Richard Breitman of American University, said the addendum was particularly important."We thought the information was significant and detailed," Breitman told The Jerusalem Post regarding the newly uncovered facts on the Jerusalem mufti in particular."We thought the April 1945 contract between the [German] Foreign Office and Husseini was striking evidence of an ideological collaboration both sides hoped would continue after the war."Husseini, who died in Beirut in 1974, was apparently paid 50,000 marks per month, and 80,000 additional marks a month for living expenses, according to a contract with the Germans. This was a time when a German field officer typically earned 25,000 marks a year.According to the report, on November 28, 1941, Adolf Hitler told Husseini that the Afrika Korps would "liberate" Arabs in the Middle East and that "Germany's only objective there would be the destruction of the Jews.""SS leaders and Husseini both claimed that Nazism and Islam had common values as well as common enemies – above all, the Jews," the report states.In fall 1943, it says, Husseini went to the Croatia, a German ally, to recruit Muslims for the Waffen-SS."During that trip he told the troops of the newly formed Bosnian-Muslim 13th Mountain Waffen-SS division that the entire Muslim world ought to follow their example," the report states.Husseini also organized a 1944 mission in which Palestine Arabs and Germans would carry out sabotage and propaganda after German planes dropped them into Palestine by parachute."Husseini insisted that the Arabs take command after they landed and direct their fight against the Jews of Palestine, not the British authorities," according to the report.As late as 1945, the German Foreign Office rewrote its contracts with Husseini.At that point, the outcome of the war was no longer in question, and therefore the contracts are significant as indications of Nazi intentions to work with the mufti in future political-ideological campaigns in Arab lands.In October 1945, the report said, the British head of Mandatory Palestine's Criminal Investigation Division told the US assistant military attaché in Cairo that the mufti might be able to unite Palestine's Arabs and "cool off the Zionists. Of course, we can't do it, but it might not be such a damn bad idea at that."
