Roswell Daily Record, Mark Wilson, Associated Press
ROSWELL, N.M. — New Mexico never looked so colorful.
Fifth-grade students at El Capitan Elementary have been learning the history of the state through the arts this month, working together to paint a mural in honor of the New Mexico Centennial. The mural, four weeks in the making, is a product of the Creative Learning Center's Legacy Project, which connects local artists with fifth-grade students in the Roswell Independent School District.
Noel Marquez, a muralist who has been helping the students with the project, says that more than anything else, the experience of painting allows students an opportunity to create their own voice.
"These kids have a lot to say, and by pulling out that creative inner voice of theirs, it makes them better students in this school," Marquez said. "That's what the program is trying to do, is show them they can create solutions instead of being directed to nothing but solid answers. There are many ways to answer questions."
The mural features a variety of different themes and symbols unique to the state, ranging in categories of science, nature, math, archaeology, art, music and technology. The foundational background of the painting is a galaxy, which Marquez sees as a metaphor for the world we live in. Everything else, he says, are unique contributions of the 75 fifth-grade students at El Capitan. Marquez says that, essentially, these contributions become self-portraits.
"This is like a collage of all their creative ideas, of who they feel they are right now and what they connect with, which helps them to be who they need to be. It also helps them with research, to come up with information that has a little bit more complexity. We're more than just symbols. The symbols are there, but it transforms into a limitless universe — and they can be part of it. They're not limited to New Mexico.
"But we use the flavor of New Mexico to be who we need to be," Marquez said.
The students contribute by proposing drawings of what they want to place within the galaxy, a process that Marquez feels helps the students breathe life into their still-forming ideas. Once a proposal is ready, students begin painting their drawings into the mural, which so far has resulted in icons such as bears, a buffalo dancer, railroads, a windmill, a monarch butterfly, reptiles, San Ildefonso Pueblo potter Maria Martinez, license plates, pinto beans, and the seal of New Mexico.
Marquez, who was born and raised in Artesia, believes it's important that students don't just limit their ideas to New Mexico's statehood — and he encourages them to look deep into the history of the area.
"I ask them, 'What is the history of these grounds?' Because it's more than just 100 years of state government. The state of New Mexico, it's a nice celebration, but the grounds of New Mexico are thousands of years old. And if you look at the images there are lots of Native American influences there."
Marquez expects the mural to be completed by the middle of next week. He said students have been having a lot of fun with the project, a cohesive effort that shows students the multiplicity of people, cultures and traditions.
"Diversity is a very important message," Marquez said. "It's an avenue for everybody to look at a piece — and enter. And they're all part of the answer. There's not one answer; there are many answers and many voices."

Is there a best practice in washing dishes? (Photo via BSU)
By way of introduction to this topic let me explain that the verb "to wash up" in the U.S. is primarily defined as washing one's hands and/or face, "Give me five minutes to wash up and then I'll be ready." So Brits, if you're the guest of an American, and he or she mentions washing up, no need to head for the kitchen.
As a Brit in the U.S.A. I often have to turn away when witnessing an American washing dishes. I'm pretty sure they all have to bite their tongues when watching me do the same, such are the differences in our preferred methods. In Postcards from Across the Pond, American writer Mike Harling describes Brit washing up thus: "First fill the sink with hot water and washing up liquid, then immerse your dishes and wash them as you normally would. Now take them out of the soapy water and put them in the drying rack. No, no, don't rinse them; just put them in the rack. Yes, like that, with soap bubbles all over them. Apparently your mother was wrong – you can eat off dishes that have not been thoroughly rinsed and not get sick. In time you'll get used to the idea. (Or you can sneak back into the kitchen and rinse them off when no one is looking.)"
In addition, Brits wash everything in the same sink full of soapy water, which sounds gross but there is method in that particular madness. See, if you start with the least dirty items, such as glasses, progress through medium soilage and then wash the pots and pans last, you're not really washing anything in dirty water. Sort of. Ok, well, never mind.
There are lots of reasons for the British way (and obviously, not every Brit does it this way before anyone starts). Some say that because mixer taps are a fairly recent domestic addition, it would have been a "right faff" having to switch between hot and cold running taps, to wash and rinse things. Not to mention a guaranteed risk of third degree burns. There was also apparently an advertising campaign decades ago that claimed a certain brand of washing up liquid didn't need to be rinsed, thus allowing people to save money on water bills. Some Brits also leave dishes to air dry rather than using a dish towel/tea towel which they see as germ magnets.
Americans, on the other hand, need at least two sinks and a constant supply of running water for dish-washing. Sometimes one sink is filled with hot, soapy water but I often see things washed under a running tap/faucet, necessitating half a bottle of detergent. Washed items then proceed to a second sink for rinsing. So far so good, apart from the shocking waste of water. Then, because very few American sinks come with a built in draining board, items are precariously balanced on the counter top, usually over a drying cloth. (This is the part I can't watch.) I have to say, Americans are pretty good about drying the dishes and putting them all away right there and then. None of this "leaving them to drain" which is often British code for "I can't be bothered right now, I'll just leave them for a couple of days." To be fair, many Brits deliberately leave the dishes out to drain so that there are no smudges and wipe marks on them.
I believe a happy medium could easily be reached if the following two sink features caught on on both sides of the Pond.
A built-in draining board for American sinks. (See below). This way, water doesn't get all over the counter top and floor, but runs obediently back into the sink. A "European" dish rack can be placed directly onto this draining section without the need for a drip tray underneath, or worse, one of those nasty, sponge drying mats.

British kitchen sink makers really need to start incorporating this handy, dandy American feature – the side spray. That's the small spray gun with the lever in the photo here. They come standard on most kitchen sinks in the U.S.A. and are seriously useful for well, rinsing dishes and cleaning off sinks.
(Photo via Danze)
The combination of the British built-in draining board and the American side spray thingy would mean that everyone could keep on washing dishes in a sink full of soapy water, then place them in a drying rack and spray the life out of them without the worry of the water going anywhere but back into the sink and down the drain. Easy peasy!
Apparently the subject of how to wash dishes is quite a hot button as can be seen in this thread in the British Guardian newspaper.
What's your strategy to washing dishes?
Toni Summers Hargis is a Brit who has lived in the USA since 1990. She currently lives in Chicago with her husband and children and writes about US/UK matters when not putting out domestic fires. Toni blogs as Expat Mum and is the author of Rules, Britannia - An Insider's Guide to Life in the United Kingdom, (St. Martin's Press). She has made frequent appearances on radio and TV explaining British things to Americans.

Scapes on a train
No, not snakes on a plane. Scapes on a train—or more specifically, garlic stalks stir-fried with pork and oyster sauce in the dining car of a Chinese train bound for Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. In this week's Food Section, globetrotting food critic Ari LeVaux talks about the pulse-quickening moment he first encountered garlic flowers and stalks—collectively called scapes. Scapes are in season right now, and preparing them at home is inexpensive and easy. (Unlike some of the other international train rides Ari has taken.)
Food for Thought
Great Scapes
The loveliness of garlic flowers
The first time I ate garlic flowers was for breakfast on a train from Beijing to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The dining car didn't have a menu: You just sat down and they brought you food. A server delivered a plate of stir-fried chopped green things with pork and oyster sauce, along with a bowl of rice. It was years before that I realized that the pencil-thick green things were pieces of garlic flowers and flower stalks, collectively known as scapes.

Hollandaise for dummies
The chickens are laying again, the greens and onions are up, and the days are getting longer: Brunch season is here. I've been practicing a simple dish of poached eggs served on a bed of spinach and asparagus, garnished with crispy pieces of salt pork or bacon. Sometimes I drench the whole business in a blanket of hollandaise sauce. Or more often, it's a blanket of failed hollandaise that I resurrect to perfection with mayonnaise and a microwave. Read all about it in this week's Food section.

Some of our members may be aware that we have been pursuing a facility we can call "home". We have been working with Talawanda Recreation Incorporated (TRI) to explore the feasibility of constructing a recreational facility in Oxford. Borderline would be a partner in this venture.
We have been asked to share the financial burden of completing a facility feasibility study with TRI to achieve this end. We agreed to be part of this, but weren't sure where we would come up with the money! With the help of Mr. Ernst Bever and the Bever Family Trust, we are going to be able to fulfill our part of the deal. With this generous act of kindness, we will be able to pursue our dream and provide some new equipment for our teams. We can't begin to express our gratitude to the Bever family.
La Rosa's (Oxford location only) gives Borderline 15% of every check for which the patron mentions Borderline Jr Volleyball! No coupons are needed: simply mention the club and we receive 15%! Tell everyone you know!
If there is severe weather, we will announce practice cancellations on the Emergency Broadcast System. This message will go to the info mailing list and our website. We will try to cancel at least 1.5 hours before the scheduled practice.

Thanks for inviting me to share Susan! I love the images you used – they make me hungry for calming foods. I'm actually sitting here drinking a delicious cup of rooibos tea and just had a snack of pumpkin seeds!
The great thing is that you can even eat like this when on the road. I just got back from a 3 day event and took these with me: rooibos teabags, roasted pumpkin seeds and some grass-fed beef jerky. I also always take cans of sardines with me too – a great source of protein and omega-3s.
I'm so glad you mentioned mindful eating which I know is your area of expertise. It's something that I also believe is SO important!
Time to start snacking on Pumpkin Seeds!
I love pumpkin seeds too! Snack mindfully!
Love the encouragement for people to eat real food. It's so important to health, both physical and emotional. These are simple and easy suggestions to add to any nutritional plan. I'll be sharing this with my clients.
I am so happy you liked the article and will be sharing! Join us On Feb 1st for the Mindful Eating Chocolate Challenge. Tune in this week for details.
I didn't know that red meat was considered calming - I've always stayed away from it because of being arthritic. But now and then I sure crave a good steak - so perhaps that is why, ha! Thanks for this list.
Thank you for sharing your though feedback! Understandable to crave a good steak now and then!
I appreciated hearing from you.
Great article, I never considered red meat to be in this category.
Interesting to note, thanks.
Thank you for your comments! So glad you enjoyed.
Wow! I was surprised to meat in this list ... and happy to see pumpkin seeds as I am a nervous snacker and I do love pumpkin seeds :)
It can take a radical reboot to get past old hurts and injustices.

Looking for good touring routes in Ireland
Hello Everyone. My wife and I are beginning to look at possibly taking a tour around Ireland in a few years. Have any of you any suggestions regarding roads, places, etc. you think would be great to see? Would appreciate any input anyone would like to offer.
Hopefully another biker will answer this in a bit more detail than I can, but I can help on a few things. Ireland is small. Very small. A good days ride will go from the top to the bottom, or from one side to the other AND back again.
Also, depending on the time of the year you come, if it's off peak you can get accomadation in just about any town quite easily without pre-booking. This means you can travel with a very flexible schedule. We use a lot of Bed and Breakfasts, and these are rooms in peoples houses, or even larger spots with 5 or 6 bedrooms to rent. They usually will have a driveway to park a bike. unlike the USA (Moab to be specific), Irish bend and breakfasts are not boutique expensive and plush places to stay, they are more basic - very much how normal people live. Hostels are fine too but can be noisy.
Routes: The best things to see are all round the coast. Some things are the big attractions, like the cliffs of mohar Tourist Attraction in Ireland, Things to Do in Ireland - Cliffs of Moher, or the giants causeway, and these can be seen easily by just riding up to them. A full loop of the coast is a good plan to start from, and then refine it depending on how much time you have. 2 weeks would probably do a lap at a reasonable pace and getting to see a good few things, 3 weeks would be better. Any less than 2 weeks, then just concentrate on counties kerry, clare, galway (i.e. the west coast).
And a great thing to include is the hubb meeting in eniskillen, held each year. You can find details here on the hubb, and if you put that into the start of your trip you'll get loads of bang-up-to-date info when your there.
Also, what sort of stuff do you like to see? cities? Countryside? bit of a mix? And how long do you plan to travel for?
Depending on when you go, and when I get back from South America, I can offer you somewhere to stay just outside Dublin.
Very proud to be Irish :-)
Have fun with your trip preperations. I will be going to Ireland for about 3 weeks in June next year. I will not be on the bike as I will be travelling with my parents. We will be attending a family gathering in Kerry.
I am planning a trip on the bike in 2017 (when I can get long service leave) and am hoping to do about 7 months in UK & Ireland.
Thanks for your replies. We're just staring to plan the trip. Will likely be in Ireland for two weeks. Looking for great roads to ride on, great people to meet, the usuual things. Will keep in touch with you as we plan.
I live in Ireland and would recommend anywhere along the West or South coast from Donegal to West Cork. Places you must see Delphi Valley, Conemara, the Burren, Dingel, Ring of Kerry and West Cork. The Antrim coast and Glens are beautiful also. We've had a very wet summer and it can rain a fair bit here , but don't let that put you off.
Dam, I saw this too late.
I hope you had a great trip..

Kaiser, Aetna, other health plans brace for downturn
Industry expects drop in enrollees
Send this to a friend
- Chris Rauber
Tough times are beginning to hit home with the health plans that dominate the Bay Area market, and odds are the worst is yet to come.
Oakland-based Kaiser Permanente's third-quarter financial results were grim: a quarterly loss of $399 million, attributable in its entirety to a $706 million investment loss.
Kaiser won't say how its investments, or other financial metrics have fared since its third quarter ended Sept. 30, but the stock market's generally dismal performance since then suggests another huge loss is looming for the fourth quarter, and possibly for the year.
Kaiser "doesn't comment on its financial performance in between quarters," said spokesman Joe Fragola. Kaiser's fourth-quarter and year-end results are expected to be available by early February.
"The industry is working through a challenging cycle," said Joe Marinucci, a credit analyst at Standard & Poor's who expects to see more credit downgrades than upgrades in the health plan arena next year, and "negative outlook" designations that "run the gamut," including huge players like WellPoint Inc., parent of Anthem Blue Cross of California, and UnitedHealth Group, PacifiCare of California's owner. Broadly, growth in Medicare and Medicaid plans is slowing, the overall market is maturing, and price competition is a major factor, he said.
Even so, Kaiser stands out, Marinucci said, because it's "booked some rather large investment losses this year, particularly on the equity side."
Through nine months, the not-for-profit Kaiser Foundation entities generated just $202 million in net income, less than a tenth of the $2.5 billion in profits posted a year earlier, due to the losses.

Comment on Japan "NTR Nation" by Anonymous:
All these comments are pretty funny…it is amusing when people pretend their failures at life were a "choice". Usually what people are insecure about not achieving (but want) is very thing they go out of their way to try to convince everyone else they don't care about it.
Example: "The hell with women. I will never get married"
Translation: "I am lonely. I sure do wish I had someone special in my life"
Anonymous made other comments on this post:
- Japan "NTR Nation":
To hear your story and that of the women that you have spoken to, I can't even really pass judgement on you at all. It's really damn sad to think about. I wouldn't blame you for not wanting to stop doing what you are doing either. It's something that you obviously get to take advantage of. I really wish you would wear a rubber though, but that is also your own choice! Take care.
- Japan "NTR Nation":
14.8% is actually a pretty low number in my opinion, Even if the figure is actually closer to 20% then thats ONLY 1 in 5 women! Japanese women arn't too shabby when you think about it.
- Japan "NTR Nation":
Since when was 14.8% a huge number? The flip side of that number is that 85.2% of Japanese housewives claim they have never had an affair. Keep in mind when reading the above article that all of the referenced statistics are a subset of the 14.8% of women who admitted to cheating in the survey.
- Japan "NTR Nation":
Finally someone with some sense.

- Publisher: Activision
- Release Date: Mar 28, 2002
- Also On: PlayStation 2
- Summary: Featuring eight massive levels filled with people, traffic, and other interactive elements, the game's environments are brought to life with richer graphics and advanced special effects optimized for today's PC video cards. Smoother life-like animations and significantly improved tricks capture the style of the world's best skateboarding pros. Further improving on the franchise's intuitive control scheme, the game allows players to perform tricks and combos in some of the world's most popular skate locations including Los Angeles, Canada and Tokyo. The enhanced skate park editor allows gamers to create the ultimate park up to twice the size of parks in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. The Create-A-Skater features a new female skater model, and the ability to modify almost every aspect of their appearance, from accessories to clothing to hair color. [Activision]… Expand

My weapon of choice is the PS2, mostly because of the Dual Shock 2, which I think is the perfect controller for THPS3...While the network play [of the PC version] is damn fun, I'm not sure if it's robust enough to warrant the $50.00-or-so expenditure.
Gearbox have done an excellent job with the PC conversion and any PC gamer will love this game. Just don't forget your gamepad.
As good as, if not better, than the original Playstation 2 best-seller. [July 2002, p.79]
The PC can support insanely high resolutions that put even the Xbox to shame. The frame rate is better on the PC, as well.
The PC version has a few advantages to set it apart from its brethren, but not so much as to make the other 5 versions pointless.

It's got great gameplay, acceptable graphics, low system requirements and most importanly for laptops, it can be entirely controled with the keyboard, making it great for playing, well on your lap.

Elsipogtog protectors
of the land and water, together with representatives of other First Nation, Acadian,
and Anglophone communities, continue to stand together in nonviolent resistance
to ongoing SWN Resources Canada (ŌĆ£SWNŌĆØ) exploratory natural gas seismic testing.
The week began with
protectors discovering unexploded ordnance behind a cemetery, near
on 21 July 2013. The cemetery
parallels SWN seismic ŌĆśLine 5.ŌĆÖ
SWN has received licenses to test along multiple sites within Kent and
surrounding counties, with five testing lines designated for
exploration. Most are deep within the bush. Line 5 in particular has
been heavily
patrolled by RCMP and private security.
A canister of C4 explosive was observed in a private driveway designated
for testing, only yards away from a private residence.
In addition to the
concerns regarding the unexploded ordnance, SWN appeared to be in violation of
regulations that setbacks of cemeteries should be at least fifty meters away from a seismic energy source. SWNŌĆÖs seismic testing equipment sat
just two meters away.ŌĆ"
Local members of the
resistance asked CPTers Stewart Vriesinga and Chris Sabas to proceed with two
other vehicles to the work site. As
the group waited for others to arrive, a female protector, identifying herself
as ŌĆśPocahontas,ŌĆÖ decided to strap herself to bundles slated for helicopter
transport. CPTer Sabas's interview with Pocahontas is avilable at http://youtu.be/07OxXf3-jDQ.┬Ā┬Ā
On 21 July 2013, members of the
Elsipogtog community who are trying to protect their traditional lands from
fracking discovered that SWN Resources Canada had an unknown amount of
unexploded ordinance behind a cemetery, located on Pleasant Ridge Road, Rogersville, New Brunswick.
The cemetery, owned by the local
Catholic diocese, borders a seismic testing line known as ŌĆ£Line 5ŌĆØ that
Canadian police have been heavily guarding. The video shows police trying to prevent Elsipogtog members
from parking in a lot located directly across the street from the cemetery
where a Catholic church had once stood.
The police told protectors the lot was private property and the
landowner had not given permission for "protesters" to be on site,
where at least a dozen police and private security vehicles had parked. Lorraine Claire of the Elsipogtog First
Nation had, however, obtained permission from caretakers of the property to
park there. Watch how she and
other protectors of the land peacefully confront the police.
In November 2010 Canada finally signed the United Nations Declaration on the
Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which declares, ŌĆ£States will consult and obtain
free, prior and informed consent for any project affecting the land, territory
or resources of indigenous peoples.ŌĆØ
Elsipogtog, a MiŌĆÖkmaq First Nation in New Brunswick, was not consulted and
certainly do not consent to the seismic survey of their land in preparation for
fracking for shale gas. They have
joined with equally concerned non-aboriginal residents in the area to stop the
exploration. Canadian police
arrested thirty-three protestors in June.
On Sunday 30 June, Chris Sabas and I, representing the CPT Aboriginal Justice
Team, arrived in Elsipogtog at the invitation of John Levi, leader at the
Sacred Fire camp. Colourful flags,
abundant signage and a community of Indigenous, Acadian, and Anglo folk,
welcomed us to their tent-city and the sacred fire.
Prayers for Peacemakers, June 13, 2013
Give thanks that Warrior Chief John Levi of
Elsipogtog was released on his own recognizance on Monday after an arrest for
probation violations stemming from a June 21 demonstration in which Canadian
police had arrested other people, but had neither arrested nor cited him. The arrest seemed designed to do harm
to LeviŌĆÖs standing in his community.
Warrior Chief John
Levi is free on his own recognizance. After a hearing held on the CrownŌĆÖs request to have him
remain incarcerated, the presiding Judge ordered his immediate release with the
stipulation that he remain 100 meters away from SWN corporation equipment or
any of its subcontractorsŌĆÖ machinery and equipment.
Many native and
non-native people packed the courtroom to show their support; court officials
permitted people to stand in the back as the seats filled up. When Levi's case was called, and as he entered
the courtroom, people stood in unison.
His supporters had also done so on Friday, 5 July, at the initial
hearing. A different judge heard
the matter today, and he ordered spectators to remain seated, saying he would
clear the courtroom if they did not follow proper court decorum.

Kelley School of Business is well represented at the 2014 Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Morocco
Kelley students invited by the U.S. State Department to attend the Summit
More than 3,000 entrepreneurs, heads of state and other high-level government officials and corporate leaders are gathering in Marrakesh, Morocco for the fifth Global Entrepreneurship Summit. Launched by President Barack Obama in 2009 as a global platform "to empower entrepreneurs with the skills and resources necessary to compete and thrive in the 21st century," the Summit also enables participants to network one-on-one with each other and to learn from dozens of speakers.
Among them are nine alumni of an Indiana University Kelley School of Business program that over the past three summers has welcomed about 300 young people from eight countries across North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. Many of them are women. While at IU Bloomington, the students spent a month learning the principles of entrepreneurship through the school's Global Business Institute program, administered by its Institute for International Business.
The Global Business Institute is a collaboration among the Kelley School, the U.S. Department of State and the Coca-Cola Co. The multifaceted, immersive program gives select students from Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Jordan, Pakistan, the Palestinian territories and Afghanistan an opportunity to learn about business in the context of American culture.
"It was a very exciting piece of good news that students from our program were called out," said LaVonn Schlegel, Institute for International Business's managing director. "This will provide them with an excellent opportunity for further networking and education. There will be venture capitalists there and all kinds of business support there. They will have an opportunity to continue to talk about their businesses and what their future plans are."

With Octoblu emerging from stealth mode, it seemed like a good idea to talk to a couple of key people there. We were able to do just that with company co-founders Geir Ramleth and Chris Matthieu.
Geir Ramleth serves as CEO. He was named to CIO Magazine's Hall of Fame in 2008, and served as SVP/CIO of the Bechtel Group for more than a decade during his career. Chris Matthieu serves as CTO and has a global reputation as an innovator in emerging technologies. Chris also serves as our Tech Chair at @ThingsExpo.
Octoblu will utilize Meshblu (formerly code named SkyNetIM), an open source machine-to-machine (M2M) instant messaging platform that Chris created. Meshblu can be used for the discovery, control and management of any API-based software application, any hardware or appliance, or social media network.
Here's what we asked Chris, and here's what he had to say:
IOT Journal: This seems like a culmination of a lot of work you've previously done with SkyNet and other projects? How long have you had a vision for IoT connectivity?
Chris Matthieu: I've been watching the IoT space evolve for several years now. Our open source SkyNet.im project, which is the basis for Octoblu Meshblu, came from an idea around M2M instant messaging.
With a market full of smart devices, sensors, and proprietary protocols, Meshblu will enable any device using any protocol to connect to a single IoT platform capable of discovering and messaging any other device.
Before creating SkyNet, I was building Twelephone, the WebRTC-powered Twitter telephone). This project was technically rewarding, but I soon realized that people seem to prefer messaging people throughout the day rather than actually "talking" to people as they work. This led me to the idea of people "chatting" with machines!
After numerous strategy sessions with Geir, we realized that both of these ideas (SkyNet and Twelephone) were closely related. However, they are only half of the story. We founded Octoblu to connect, control, and manage the communications and automation across people, things, systems, and clouds.
IoT Journal: What are your main technical priorities for the next year or so?
Chris: At this point we see the key technology areas for development as being in the areas of security and rights management, building broad and deep connectivity services, and continued hardening and platform flexibility for scalability of deployments.
IoT Journal: What key hurdles does the IoT industry face in achieving connectivity across platforms, apps, devices, and other "things"?
Chris: Although we will see that cross platform, apps, devices, etc. integration will be simplified, the technical challenges will be how to keep this coordinated and orchestrated in such a manner that we don't get "lost" in the details.
The hurdles will be that we have to also get meaningful integrations in the layers of security, rights management, quality of service and assurance of performance.
Geir also had some comments about the company and its relation to the IoT industry and environment:
IoT Journal: The IoT does certainly open new universes of possibilities? How chaotic is the connectivity/protocol landscape, and how are you addressing it?
Geir Ramleth: Consumer IoT is very fragmented, where each hardware manufacturer has its own applications, with no plan to bridge individual environments.
Part of the problem is that today, there are no clear standards or leaders in the connectivity/protocol landscape. This will continue to evolve, and we might eventually see clear winners emerge, such as we did some years ago when we got TCP/IP for networking.
However, until then, it will be important that we have services that can operate integration in a heterogeneous environment.We see this as a key role and core advantage for Octoblu, as our platform is built to connect any device using any protocol.
IoT Journal: When do you expect to see tangible results of your work, ie, and will it be in M2M, enterprise IT connectivity, personal IoT, or all?
Geir: It will be all of the above, as our vision is to connect, control and manage the communications and automation across people, things, systems and clouds.
We can't give too much information at this point on timing, but we expect that the broader based integration in this space will first be seen in the industrial space starting in the fall, and then later "backfill" into the personal environments.
IoT Journal: How does your membership in the AllSeen Alliance drive your vision, and how are you contributing to this effort?
Geir: The AllSeen Alliance is an important effort to standardize the connectivity/protocol challenges.
We fully support that and plan to contribute with resources and free tools to help connect, manage and secure environments. At the same time, we will also assure that we continue supporting older and other emerging efforts.
P2P RTC will impact the landscape of communications, shifting from traditional telephony style communications models to OTT (Over-The-Top) cloud assisted & PaaS (Platform as a Service) communication services. The P2P shift will impact many areas of our lives, from mobile communication, human interactive web services, RTC and telephony infrastructure, user federation, security and privacy implications, business costs, and scalability. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Robin Raymond, Chief Architect at Hookflash, will walk through the shifting landscape of traditional telephone and voice services ...

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.
