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 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.

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 Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

Celtic going through in Champions League qualifier would be best night of my life, says Ronny Deila
New manager hopes Scottish champions can overturn 4-1 first-leg defeat to Legia Warsaw
Tuesday 05 August 2014
Ronny Deila acknowledged the size of the task he has in rescuing Celtic's Champions League hopes against Legia Warsaw at Murrayfield by admitting success might make it the best night of his life.
The Scottish side lost 4-1 in Poland last week, with the hosts also missing two penalties. Deila, who took over from Neil Lennon in June, showed he was aware of the magnitude of the task, saying: "It is the same in every club. If you lose it is a disaster – but it's a bigger disaster here."
The Norwegian added a personal note: "We have everything to win. I haven't given up. It's possible. If we turn this around it will be a massive night and maybe the best night of my life.
"It would be, behind having kids, an unbelievable night. That is what we are wanting, dreaming of, but behind that it needs a good performance.
Deila, who will be without Efe Ambrose after the Nigeria defender was sent off in Poland, added: "I have been thinking a lot and it is important that we get a lot of energy into the game because that was the most disappointing thing last week. At the end of the game we were passive and lacking confidence."
The former Stromsgodset manager, who denied knowledge of West Bromwich Albion's reported interest in midfielder Kris Commons, said: "I want to see more enjoyment and energy on the pitch. That's what I want to see tomorrow: commitment and desire to win; desire to fight for each other and to be a team."

Cloverleaf investors lost even more money
The latest information is that Cloverleaf had raised a total of $35m venture capital funding and had $10m in loans meaning a total of $45m funding, $20m more than the $25m I mentioned. That means its investors have taken a bath and are unlikely to get their cash back, never mind make a return.

To call it overwrought would be an understatement. Andrzej Żuławski's 1981 masterpiece, butchered upon its original American release and relegated to spurious video-nasty circulation, is now returning in all its hysterical glory, as a part of Brooklyn's BAMcinématek complete Żuławski retro, which will then move to Cinefamily in Los Angeles. Featuring what is arguably the bravest female performance ever put on film - namely, Isabelle Adjani's Cannes-winning turn of shamanistic intensity - the film dares its viewer to enter a trance-like state, in which genres blur and mate to yield a new level of cinematic expression.

The grand Poobah writes: I have been assured by many posters on my video games blog entry that it took decades for the cinema to gain recognition as an art form. Untrue.

In 1908, Tolstoy and his family appeared in an early motion picture, and if you saw The Last Station (2009) you may want to compare your memories with the real thing. Here is some information about those in the film.
The Last Station (2009) Director Michael Hoffman. Cast: James McAvoy, Helen Mirren, Christopher Plummer, Paul Giamatti and Kerry Condon."The Last Station" focuses on the last year of Count Tolstoy (Christopher Plummer), a full-bearded Shakespearian figure presiding over a household of intrigues. The chief schemer is Chertkov (Giamatti), his intense follower, who idealistically believes Tolstoy should leave his literary fortune to the Russian people. It's just the sort of idea that Tolstoy might seize upon in his utopian zeal. Sofya (Helen Mirren), on behalf of herself and her children, is livid." - Ebert. You can read Roger's full review HERE.

Q. In your review of "The Simpsons Movie," you mention that it is already voted as the 166th best film of all time on the Internet Movie Database and ask, "Do you suppose somehow the ballot box got stuffed by 'Simpsons' fans who didn't even need to see the movie to know it was a masterpiece? D'oh!" Likewise, readers of your own Web site on the morning of the film's release already gave it a four-star rating. Don't you think these are merely fans of the movie showing their contempt for you and all other reviewers, and in fact for any but their own opinions?

Alexander Ross Clarke (1828–1914) was a British geodesist, primarily remembered for his calculation of the Principle Triangulation of Britain (1858), the calculation of the Figure of the Earth (1858, 1866, 1880) and one of the most important text books of Geodesy (1880).

Biographical details[edit]
The basic sources of material on Clarke are the two articles by Charles Close in 1925 and 1943. The first was an article for the Royal Engineers Journal (Close 1925) and a second revised and expanded version appeared in the Empire Survey Review.[1](Close 1943) Although Close was almost thirty years younger than Clarke, and joined the Ordnance Survey only after Clarke's retirement, they knew each other well and they collaborated on the article Map for the eleventh edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica. Much of Close's material is incorporated in the web page REubique[2] (de Santis 2002) along with details of his military career and further information communicated by one of Clarke's living descendants. Other sources of information are to be found in the Times of London[3] and obituaries in several learned societies.[4] Two recent histories of the Ordnance Survey include information on Clarke: Owen and Pilbeam,[5] and Seymour.[6]
Family background and education 1828—1850[edit]
Clarke was born in Reading, Berkshire, England on 16 December 1828. His Scottish father, David Ross Clarke, had travelled to Jamaica as a young merchant and there he married Elizabeth (Eliza) Ann Hall, the daughter of Col. Charles William Hall and Isabella Ann Ford, on 8 March 1827 in Kingston.[7] They came to England for the birth of Alexander but they must have returned to Jamaica very soon afterwards for Alexander would later regale his own children with stories of his childhood experiences in the colony.(Close1925)
The parents, David and Eliza, were back in England in 1834[8] but they soon moved up to David's family home at Eriboll[9] in the far north of Scotland. The school teaching there was primitive but effective. Close (1943) repeats an anecdote told by Alexander's younger brother: "I do not know what schooling he had in those young days, but I remember his telling me of a dominie[10] putting him under his desk and kicking him from time to time, also how taws[11] were used. Anyway he learned Latin and mathematics." Close adds that "The mathematics that was thus kicked into him determined his career in after life."
David Clarke and his family moved to London, before 1846, and eventually settled at 35 Devonshire Place, where he died in 1861. His wife, Eliza Ann, died in 1887. It was from this London address that Alexander Clarke, at the age of seventeen in 1846, applied to the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich as a Gentleman Cadet.[12] Clarke was very unprepared for the entrance examination, having left a space of only three weeks for revision, and he was placed bottom of the list of candidates. At Woolwich he would undergo basic military training and formal teaching in subjects such as mathematics and fortifications(modern civil engineering). Clarke excelled at his studies and he passed out first, with "the reputation of being an exceptionally capable young man" (Close 1943). He was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Royal Engineers on the 1st October, 1847.[13]
After his commissioning, Clarke attended the Young Officers Course at the Royal School of Military Engineering at Chatham and there he would have studied surveying as well as the engineering of fortifications. He was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on the 11th of July 1849 at the end of that course.
The Ordnance Survey 1850—1881[edit]
In 1849 during the last months of his time at Chatham Clarke decided to try for the Ordnance Survey and he made an indirect approach to the Superintendent, Colonel Hall, through the good offices of Colonel Reid, his former professor at the Royal Military Academy (Close 1925). Hall had no funds to employ Clarke that year but he recruited him the following year when the government approved funding for the final report on the Principal Triangulation of Great Britain. This was an opportune moment for the Survey had recently lost some of its senior staff and, at the same time, Hall had banished Captain Yolland, the most able member of the Survey, to its remotest office in Enniskillen.[14]
Before Clarke could make progress on the calculation of the triangulation, the War Office intervened and abruptly dispatched him to military service in Canada. The nature of the posting is not recorded but it had one happy outcome. Clarke met, and married,[15] Frances Maria, youngest daughter of Colonel Matthew C. Dixon, his Commanding Officer.
Superintendent Hall retired in 1854 and Yolland, the most competent member of the Survey, was passed over in favour of Colonel Henry James. Yolland resigned immediately and Clarke was the only qualified candidate for the analysis of the triangulation. (James was not a mathematician.) The magnitude of this task is discussed below. It was accomplished in 1858, an exceedingly short period of time. His endeavour was rewarded by his military promotion to 2nd Captain in 1855 and by being appointed head of the Trigonometrical and Levelling Departments of the Survey in 1856.
Clarke worked intensely on a number of major projects (below) during the 27 years to 1881, all of which were described in voluminous reports. Clarke appears to have got on well enough with Superintendent James despite James's habit of having his name well to the forefront on these reports.[16] The total experience of these years was distilled in Clarke's famous textbook, Geodesy.[17]
Clarke's contribution to the Survey greatly enhanced its reputation. He himself was acknowledged as one of greatest geodesists in the world and he was honoured with fellowships at the Royal Society of London (1862) and the Philosophical Society of Cambridge (1871). He was elected a Corresponding Member of the Russian Imperial Academy of Sciences (1868).[18] He was made a Companion of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath (1870).[19] His army promotions were to Captain (1861), Major of Army Rank (1871), Major of Regimental Rank (1872), Lieutenant Colonel (1872) and Colonel (1877). (de Santis 2002).
The Clarke family lived in Southampton from 1854 to 1881, the last twenty years in a fashionable Georgian property at 21, Carlton Crescent.[20] The family was large, four boys, one of whom died young, and nine daughters. During the time of intense activity with the Survey, Clarke preferred to work at home with this large family around him. (Close 1925). The three boys married but only two of the girls found husbands.
Retirement and legacy 1881—1914[edit]
Superintendent James retired in 1875 and he was succeeded by his deputy, Colonel John Cameron. He died suddenly in 1878 and after his death Clarke was made acting head of the Survey until the appointment of Colonel Anthony C. Cooke.[21] Three years later the War Office intervened in his career once again; "an official of a well-known type woke up to the fact that he had been at a home station (i.e. the Survey at Southampton) for twenty-seven years, and he was ordered to go to Mauritius" (Close 1943). Clarke, a man of some-what hasty temper (Close), strongly resented this summary order which involved such a complete break with his life's work and he promptly sent in his resignation from the Army.[22]
Despite protestations to the War Office from the scientific establishment, Clarke's resignation was allowed to stand. "Clarke's retirement was a veritable disaster for the Survey, and his departure lowered the whole tone and scientific status of the department for many a long year." (Close 1925).
From 1881 Clarke's involvement with geodesy becomes more and more tenuous. In October 1883 he and Airy were the British delegates at the geodetic conference in Rome, and in 1884 he represented Britain at the International Geodetic Conference. Thereafter he published no further work on the subject apart from the major article with Helmert for the Encyclopaedia Britannica.[23] His fame was not diminished in any way he was also made an honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (1892) and the Royal Astronomical Society (date ?). His most prestigious award was the Royal Medal of the Royal Society of London awarded in 1887.[24] The text of the citation is as follows:
"The medal which, in accordance with the usual rule has been devoted to mathematics and physics, has this year been awarded to Colonel A. Clarke for his comparison of standards of length, and determination of the figure of the earth. Col. Clarke was for some 25 years the scientific and mathematical adviser for the Ordnance Survey, and while acting in that capacity he became known to the whole scientific world as possessing unique knowledge and power in dealing with the complex questions which arise in the science of geodesy. His laborious comparison of the standards of length, carried out under General Sir Henry James, R.E., are universally regarded as models of scientific precision. His determination of the ellipticity and dimensions of the earth from the great arcs of meridian and longitude involved a very high mathematical ability and an enormous amount of labour. The conclusion at which he arrived removed an apparent discrepancy between the results of pendulum experiments and those derived from geodesy, and is generally accepted as the best approximation hitherto attained as to the figure of the earth."
On retirement Clarke moved to Reigate, Surrey[25] Clarke still had many of his children at home and with only his army pension he was in straitened circumstances and, from 1888, without the companionship of his wife. He resigned his fellowship of the Royal Society for financial reasons but in 1888 he was honoured by re-admission without fees. His son recounts that he even sold his Royal Medal, for forty pounds, but gave half away to charity.[26] Although Clarke disengaged from the study of geodesy he was clearly mentally active until a very good age. The accounts by Close mention microscopy, the four colour problem, music and, above all, religion.
Alexander Ross Clarke died on 11 February 1914 in Reigate. There is a brief obituary in the Times (1914) but Royal Society obituary and the Nature obituary are more comprehensive. For many years he was the most prominent geodesist in the British firmament.[27]
Original page content[edit]
In 1858 he published his first article on the history of land surveying in Great Britain.
The major geodetic contributions[edit]
The Principal Triangulation[edit]
The Principal Triangulation of Great Britain and Ireland[28] was started by general Roy in 1784 but it was only completed in 1850, just as Clarke was joining the Survey. The methods of analysis had been planned in outline by Yolland, his predecessor at the head of the Trigonometric Section, but it fell to Clarke to finalise the methods and carry them through to completion. This he achieved in the four years from 1854 to publication in 1858. The basic data was the collection of angle bearings taken from each of the 289 stations towards a number of other stations, typically from three to ten in number. The multiple readings were first subjected to error analysis to extract the most likely values and then the triangles formed by the observed bearings were analysed simultaneously by least squares methods to find the most likely set of bearings for the whole mesh. This was an immense undertaking which involved the solution of 920 equations without the aid of matrix methods or digital computers. The only computers were the living personnel of the Trigonometric Section. Once the angles had been fixed it was then possible to calculate all the sides of the mesh in terms of the length of either of the bases, one by Lough Foyle in Ireland and the other on Salisbury plain. The accuracy of the survey was such that when the length of the Lough Foyle base was calculated through the triangulation mesh from the Salisbury base the error was only 5 inches compared with its measured length. The final step was to use the distances and angles to work out the latitude and longitude of each triangulation point on the Airy ellipsoid.
The natural course of events after a primary triangulation is to fill in the details by secondary triangulation with sides of a few miles and then a tertiary triangulation at a parish level. This did not happen because the infilling had been ongoing for fifty years of topographic surveying and maps were already published on a county basis, each with its own origin which sometimes connected to the primary triangulation and sometimes not. As a result the county maps were only loosely tied to the principal triangulation and no attempt was made to constrain the data since this would have necessitated major map revisions.
The comparison of standards of length[edit]
Calculation of the Figure of the Earth[edit]
In 1866 he described a new reference ellipsoid, known as Clarke 1866 and still used today, particularly in English-language countries and areas.
The link to France and Belgium[edit]
The longitudinal arc at 52°N[edit]
The text book Geodesy[edit]
His 1880 book, Geodesy, was the first major survey of the subject since the work of Airy. It covers the history of previous British and French geodetic surveys, techniques of survey methods and the theory of the Figure of the Earth. He concludes with an assessment of all previous meridian arc determinations and by combining them with his own British survey he established accurate values for an ellipsoid referred to as Clarke 1880,: it is used mainly in Africa.

General manager Justin Merritt could not hide his joy at seeing Oxford City finally score the goals they had been threatening, writes MATTHEW BRUCE.
Adi Yussuf (2) and Alejandro-Adrian Santiago's goal gave unbeaten City a 3-2 victory at Solihull Moors in Vanarama Conference North on Saturday.
And after scoring just once in their opening three games, Merritt felt the goals had been coming.
"In the last couple of games we had created a number of chances and that finishing touch just hadn't happened," he said.
"We had been creating the chances, but just hadn't been getting enough people forward and that's what we've been working on this last week in training."
There is little time to dwell on a job well done, with less than 48 hours to prepare for this afternoon's clash with Gloucester City.
Merritt added: "Obviously we'll go into the game looking for back-to-back wins.
"One or two have knocks and we've also got Declan (Benjamin) available again, so we have some decisions to make.
"But I'm going to enjoy this victory first."

Winnipeg cold case: Man with a limp 'missing piece of the puzzle'
Sister believes secret life is behind her brother's disappearance
Corinne Staple has spent every day for the last three years thinking about an elderly man she has never met, because she believes that man is the only hope she has of ever finding her missing brother.
Corinne's brother, Brent Staple, was last seen on June 28, 2009, on security footage, leaving the Summerland Apartments at 77 University Cr. Brent, 33, was with an unidentified elderly-looking man with a noticeable limp. There has been no trace of Brent since.
"He just stepped out of the apartment with that man and vanished," said Corinne. "The man had a very noticeable limp, and now every time I see anyone with a limp, I just stare at them because I am always looking for that man. He is the missing piece of the puzzle."
After Brent went missing, Corinne decided to look through his computer and found out the pipefitter had many secrets none of his family or friends knew about.
"He never told anyone he was gay, but I saw that he was on a lot of intimate chat sites with men. I don't understand why he didn't tell me. I have friends in the community and I would have been supportive, but I don't think the rest of the family would have been supportive and I think that's why he kept it quiet."
Corinne believes the secret life Brent was leading was what ultimately brought the unidentified man into his life.
"I think the man is probably someone he met online," she said.
Corinne believes she and her brother were so close she would have seen signs if he was planning to leave.
"We would talk every couple of days. We would go for brunch a lot and spend a lot of time together. I was with him the day before he disappeared," she said. "We went for groceries and ran errands. I'm the last one to see him alive. He was excited to start up at a new job site. He had plans, and I know he wasn't going to just leave."
Det. Scott Wiley, an investigator with the Winnipeg Police Service's missing persons unit, said the case is still being investigated, and no body has ever been found.
He agrees the key to cracking the case is figuring out the identity of the elderly man in the video.
"We are desperately trying to identify the unknown male," said Wiley. "He is absolutely the key to the investigation. Brent's circle of friends was not very large and nobody recognizes the man."
Although still photos of the man from the footage had been previously released, Wiley hopes YouTube footage of the man, released by Winnipeg police, is what will finally lead to some answers.
"The pictures are just a very short glimpse, but in the video you can see the mannerisms and the limp. We need to find him, because other than that we have absolutely no information on Brent's whereabouts," Wiley said.
Although Corinne's brother has been gone since 2009, she said she is not giving up.
"Even if Brent just calls me and tells me where he is, I won't be mad. I just need to know that he is alive and well.
"I still have hope that he hasn't passed away. The rest of the family is not so sure, but he's not dead in my eyes."

Heat to play LeBron, Wade, Bosh Friday vs. Celtics
Apr 12, 2013, 11:49 AM EST
Welcome to NBA basketball the final week of the regular season.
The Miami Heat are going to throw their big three out on the court Friday night for the first time in a couple weeks — LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh will all play against the Celtics, coach Eric Spoelstra told the media, including Ira Winderman of the Sun Sentinel.
That would be the Celtics who will not be playing Kevin Garnett or Paul Pierce.
And Miami will be resting Shane Battier and Udonis Haslem, too.
All of which means… nothing really. At this point teams know who they are. They've developed their habits on the court. They have their systems down. Unless you are the Lakers or Jazz, there is no reason guys shouldn't get a little rest. Although nobody will call it rest because David Stern fined the Spurs for resting guys this season, so the Celtics two stars are out injured with left ankle issues. Ones that would be miraculously fine if this were the playoffs.
Winderman adds this note about the Heat the rest of the way.
If that. The Heat have the advantage of the Bucks in the first round of the playoffs, so that's like four more tune-up games.

Agree. I don't see what either team has to gain. Especially Miami, because they're the top seed and they're locked. R the Celtics in the heads of the Heat? Interesting the Heat core 3 sat out against the Knicks, but r playing tonight against a Boston team missing their core 2 players. Seems like Miami doesn't respect as the Knicks. Just saying.

Or the Heat's well-rested core are choosing to play their final tune-up in front of the home fans while still giving themselves the option of resting for another week and skipping the Cleveland leg of the sun-mon back-to-back… It's about timing not the opponent.
