How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

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...

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.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

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.

A girl's escapeJanuary 03,2014She was a 13-year-old girl who said she was beaten daily by strangers who forced her to work unpaid in their home, and she wanted to escape.
Marilaine was one of 200,000 or more Haitian children called restaveks, typically serving as unpaid maids in strangers' homes, working for room and board. It is a vast system of child trafficking that is often characterized as a modern form of slavery. I followed Marilaine for a week in Haiti as she tried to flee, find her parents and start life over — and this is her story.
Marilaine grew up in a remote village where no family planning or public schooling is available, one of 12 children to impoverished parents who later separated. As Marilaine tells the story, one day when she was 10 years old, she walked to her father's house to ask him to help pay her school fees. Instead, he dispatched her here to the capital to work as a restavek, a Creole term used to describe child laborers, without even telling her mother.
"My father didn't want to spend money on my school fees," Marilaine explained.
As is common for restaveks, Marilaine slept on the floor and woke up at 5 each morning to clean the house, fetch water and wash dishes. She says she was beaten daily with electrical cords.
Marilaine was allowed no contact with her family. Once, she says, she tried to run away but was caught and beaten. At school, she often cried, and she had scars on her arms and legs from beatings.
Yet the restavek system isn't always slavery. Sometimes the child gets more food and education than would have been the case in her own family (two-thirds of restaveks are girls). Marilaine says that she was fed properly and that she was also allowed to attend a free afternoon school.
Many Haitian restaveks are treated much worse. One 12-year-old restavek I interviewed said that she rises at 4 each morning to get everything ready for "the princesses," as she calls the teenage girls in the house. Everyone in the house beats her, she says, and they refuse to let her see her mother for fear that she might run away.
An aid group called the Restavek Freedom Foundation helped Marilaine escape her home and find refuge in a safe house for restaveks. The mood was festive in the beautiful home as the dozen girls living there cheered Marilaine's arrival and hugged her.
Marilaine picked up a book, telling me that she wasn't allowed to touch books at her old house. She tried on new clothes. She slept in a bed.
But the family that Marilaine had been working for was furious. I visited the woman of the house, and she insisted that she had never beaten the girl and that Marilaine had in effect been kidnapped from her.
The leader of the neighborhood association, Junior Pataud, offered a conflicting defense. "In Haitian culture, it's normal to beat a child," he said. "But that's not the same as mistreatment."
The next day, the neighbors gathered angrily outside the school Marilaine had attended, blaming it for the girl's escape and threatening to set fire to it unless Marilaine was returned. After hours of tense negotiations, the police averted a riot.
A few days later, I drove for several hours with the police and the Restavek Freedom Foundation to Marilaine's village. When Marilaine stepped out of the car, family members and neighbors were stunned. They had assumed that she had died years ago.
Yet the reunion was a letdown. Marilaine's mom didn't seem at all thrilled to see her daughter again, and Marilaine quickly made it clear that she wanted to return to the safe house in the capital so that she could attend a good school. The police told Marilaine that she would have to stay in the village with her family, and she burst into tears.
The authorities will probably eventually let Marilaine return to the Restavek Freedom Foundation safe house, but the episode was a reminder that helping people is a complex, uphill task — and that the underlying problem behind human trafficking is poverty.
One way to fight such human trafficking would be to provide free and accessible birth control, so that women like Marilaine's mother don't end up with 12 children that they struggle to feed.
Another would be to provide free public education, so that parents don't feel that the only way to get schooling for their children is to send them off as restaveks.
That's why what's at stake in fighting global poverty isn't just poor people's incomes. It's also dignity and freedom — and the right of a girl to grow up in something better than quasi-slavery.
My New Year's wish: May Marilaine in 2014 finally find freedom and an education.

Sometimes a country boy (or girl) chooses comfort over classy. With temps pushing 90 across much of the country, this was the week to stay cool in country music with fitted T-shirts! Between scoop necks, graphic tees, plain and chest-hugging tees -- there was a lot to look at.
Randy Travis Reportedly Unable to Speak After Stroke

Have you seen pictures of the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and wondered what is going on down there? It may seem chaotic to a visitor with people taking calls at phones, brokers gathered at trading posts, pages pushing through the crowd and electronic equipment everywhere. While it may seem disorganized, the operations that occur on the floor are orderly and systematic as all get out.
Here we go again with descriptions of investment terminology.
Contacted on Election Day, two key Minnesota House Republicans offered several priorities in education. Democrats are still the majority in the Minnesota Senate, and DFL Gov. Mark Dayton was re-elected, but Republicans replaced DFLers as the majority in the Minnesota House.
The recent Ebola scare brings to mind the horrible devastation caused throughout history by diseases, especially during wartime. Soldiers, who were always moving and crowded together in unsanitary conditions, provided (and still continue to provide) the perfect vehicle for transmission of contagious pathogens. The "Spanish flu" as it came to be called, was an example of this method's deadly efficiency.
"These teachers have dedicated their lives to serving students and been recognized for outstanding work. As we examine how to improve public policy, it's important to hear from some of the best of the best. We need to learn from their success." That's how state Sen. Chuck Wiger, DFL-Maplewood, explained a recent hearing he convened at which seven recent Minnesota Teachers of the Year shared suggestions about strengths and priorities for public education.
Regional airport managers in the Twin Cities area are concerned because there aren't enough young men and women flying private and commercial airplanes to replace the retiring pilots. There also is a growing shortage of trained people to fill the aeronautical jobs of the future.
Behind the rhetoric of November elections, lies a nearly universal desire for community. Historically, Anoka County's citizens have always had a handle on that concept. From the communal cabin raisings of our earliest pioneers to the many civic organizations that exist today, Anoka County folks have always known that grass roots efforts can achieve what government often cannot.
In 1894 British journalist William T. Stead published his ground breaking book If Christ Came to Chicago.

Power Markets Disconnected? How to Reconcile Retail with Wholesale
paradigms were equal, then this shift in responsibility for transmission service would penalize customers with lower load factors.
There is no reason to have intra-regional transmission service delivered by anyone other than the local distribution utility. Although state commissions may want to keep the option open to the supplier to purchase its own transmission service, it should be at the supplier's option. Utilities should be required to provide this service, as well as billing and collection of associated revenues. That eliminates the transfer of unrelated business risks from the utility to the supplier and eliminates complexities where subtle savings and losses are associated with these transactions because of the mismatch between the wholesale and retail tariff. It also keeps this service where customers expect it to be.

I'm not sure if I'll be doing ranks such as 1st, 2nd, 3rd or if I'll be doing the set as one large prize package. If this goes well I may end up doing one every few months.

Symptoms, causes and Possible treatment options for Chlamydia
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease caused by a bacterium called Chlamydia Trachomatis. It affects the urinary system, the eyes and the lungs. Chlamydia symptoms include rectal pain or discharge, vaginal discharge, burning sensation in the urinary tract, lower abdominal pain and inter-menstrual bleeding. These infections tend to reoccur and regular recurrences could cause PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease) and may also lead to infertility.
Conventional treatment for Chlamydia
Conventional treatment options for Chlamydia include Antibiotics like Azithromycin or Erythromycin. Though effective, these Antibiotics are accompanied by side-effects like vaginal itching and discharge, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting. The more serious side effects could include Jaundice, hearing problems and severe skin reactions. Besides, none of these treatments are known to cure Chlamydia. They only offer symptomatic relief and fail to address the root cause of it. Also, Antibiotics could be wholly ineffective in a few cases of Chlamydia, as it is famous for its ability to create Antibiotic resistant strains.
Advanced Natural Products
Our holistic Doctors firmly believe that a natural approach targeted at the root cause of Chlamydia is essential to achieve lasting relief and freedom. Biogetica's natural ground breaking therapeutic kits are a combination of Advanced Nutraceuticals, Standardized herbal extracts and new Bio-energetic therapies that are traditionally believed to trigger an immune response against the bacteria.

UAE companies in India get burned
The question is, were they holding the match? As the Indian President visits the UAE, Kipp asks what Etisalat and Emaar have been up to across the sea.
November 21, 2010 10:46 by Samuel Potter
Emaar's India subsidiary is a partnership with MGF. The joint venture was the company charged with building the Games village for the athletes, which was criticized for being delivered late and unfinished or inadequate. The Delhi Development Authority says that Emaar-MGF failed to achieve project milestones in time and failed to pay bodies and agencies for utility services. For its part, Emaar insists Emaar-MGF provided adequate documentation as regular updates to the DDA which included "the fact that the authority's contractors were causing damage and were not being supervised," says Indian Express. Emaar-MGF says there are no outstanding dues to any companies or bodies, and that the Games Village has been built to highest standards.
Clearly, someone is trying to cover their behinds on this one; the ongoing battle surrounding a security deposit provided by Emaar-MGF ahead of the project may help clarify things when it finally comes to a close.
Until then the question is, have these companies got themselves into bother in India through mischief of their own making, or have they fallen victim to unscrupulous practices in a notoriously corrupt and murky business environment? Kipp would prefer to hear that it's the latter, but we won't be struck down with shock if it turns out to be the former.
According to Gulf News, "UAE companies and others have invested more than $5 billion in India through foreign direct and institutional investment, making the UAE one of the top investors there." It remains to be seen if such high profile misdeeds will dissuade future UAE investment in India.

The fact of the matter is that property developers like Emaar and Nakheel are protected by the "self censorship" policy that the local newspapers follow. Any where else in the world some of their not so consumer friendly methods would have stood exposed. In fact there are so many questionable practices being followed by most major developers in Dubai , but which we poor consumers are unable to question or get readdressal for.
At least in India a free and fearless press exposes what is wrong.

your supermarket checkout
do they still put ice cream containers in aluminum hot/cold bags?? at least in the summer. I havent seen those in a long time. just wondering if they are offered anywhere
Haven't seen them in years. Both in the NJ/PA area and now up in the Boston area for the past 20+ years. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen them up here since I've lived here.
re: small h
I've seen them for sale near the register at many stores, but not for free anymore.
re: arashall
A cooler stays in our car, we save up ice from the ice maker all week and it goes into the cooler.
We also take (3) zipper cooler bags with ice blocks. Shopping once a week for the whole week, one has to be prepared.
I guess this prepares us for buying those big tubs of ice cream at Costco. But we rarely do, as they are already full.
I can't remember where I've seen the ice cream bags offered in the past, but I do remember it well.
re: fourunder
Yes, one has to be careful when loading a cooler not to let ice water get into the produce or packaging.
I think the bottle idea is great, too. But in place of them, we use the ice blocks that we keep in a freezer door. Must have a dozen or more.
The biggest problem we have is getting a gallon of milk (2 glass jars) into the cooler down into the ice if we have bought other frozen foods first; ice blocks just don't give me the time to shop if I pick up the milk first to keep it cold enough.
My shopping day is an all-day affair which includes any appointments, library, restaurant, and the chain stores, we go once a week.
Last Friday we had to forego the restaurant and extra shopping because of the heat, so it was just Costco and the farm. We now have a very large cooler, but I will have to make sure it will fit!
Don't think it's ever been done in the UK.
That said, I bought fish the other day in a supermarket I don't often go to and they put that in a foil bag.
I've spent most of my life in the South and have never seen that done. Once in a while I see that style bag sold, but not nearly as often as non-insulated ones.
I just keep a Playmate cooler in my car. In the winter it keeps rotisserie chicken hot, fall and spring it keeps cold items safe and in the summer I bring a few blue ice packs along for ice cream and such.
re: pinehurst
Those are the type of bags I recall while growing up in NJ.
re: pinehurst
I remember them as being white, with blue printing, sometime in the 60's or maybe even early 70's, in south central CT....
re: KSlink
I was going to say 60s and 70s too, haven't thought about them in a long time. They had all the cubicles behind the counter with different size bags, and that was always one of them. I think the blue lettering said something like Icy Cold?
re: KSlink
My Mom used to love them to pack our lunches in, they were leak proof!
I haven't seen those in years and don't expect to ever see them again now that supermarkets want to just about do away with bags all together and rely on customers bringing their own reusable bags. Perhaps bringing ones own hot/cold bags will have to suffice.
I think there was something called Kool-Pak that ice cream was generally placed in. I used to get excited when I saw a freshly-added Kool-Pak in the pile of small brown bags saved for lunch because it usually meant ice cream in the house. Once it meant liver, but I have repressed most of that memory.l
re: fourunder
Haven't seen them for Chinese takeout in this neck of the woods (nyc metro area) in ages. Forgot all about that.
re: mangiare24
They always use them for the Spare Ribs.....I'm in Northern NJ
re: fourunder
We never order spare ribs...that must be why!
These are used at my local whole foods (southern CT) at no additional charge. The cashier will sometimes asks if you need one or will place meat in them. They are small paper lunch bag sized with aluminum lining.
I've never seen them in Nova Scotia (I'm 36).
A few years ago, I bought one of those coolers that plugs into the outlet in the car. Money very well spent.
We had them in the small local grocery store I worked at 12 years ago, but I haven't seen them anywhere else since.

If you received jewelry for Valentine's Day you might want to consider insuring it. "Many people don't wear their jewelry because they are afraid they might lose it," said Andrew McCabe. "Some pieces hold sentimental value that can never be replaced, but when our customers choose proper insurance coverage on jewels it gives them confidence and peace of mind that they are financially protected when the unexpected happens."
Most homeowners, renters or condo insurance policies limit coverage for personal items such as jewelry, furs or couture accessories to between $500 and $2,500, depending on the policy. Jewels like engagement rings, necklaces, bracelets or earrings that exceed that amount, may need additional coverage to help ensure they're protected. Allstate's Scheduled Personal Property (SPP) product covers most valuable items like jewelry against perils like fire, theft and loss.
Allstate's tips to insure your jewelry
• Have a detailed appraisal and be sure to keep the bill of sale. To keep coverage current, have jewelry appraised every five years.
• Keep and maintain an inventory of jewelry and individual valuables - this should be part of a broader home inventory to help better understand everything someone owns.
• Review your current insurance coverage to determine protection levels.

I didn't think I'd like IC at first. I kept watching because I was interested in the music. Glad I did. I love it. They're hilarious. Already miss Gil.
I watched this back when it aired. It's horrible. George Hu is a wonderful actor, but you'd never know it from this. The actress used to dub Park Shin Hye's has a voice only a cat in heat could love. The script is poor. The production is even worse. It's a complete waste of time.
An enjoyable and highly entertaining series. The cast was great.

first off, I already know better than to try it, but out of curiosity, a friend told me 7mm mag ammo would fire from a 280, is this true? I'm pretty sure 280 cal is equivalent to 7mms, but i think the 7mag casing is larger in diameter.
Also, going elk hunting in wyoming this year, I would like to be able to take a shot up to 300 yds if needed, as long as I can make a good confident shot at this range, is the 280 going to have enough power at 300 yds. to take down an elk? how much am I at a disadvantage with a single shot by not being able to take a second shot? being used to deer hunting i think one well placed shot would do it, what do you guys think?

I've never shot a 280 Rem. But someone I know does, According to him its just a little bit bigger than a .270, And My Uncle has a 7mm WSM, The Shell casing should be too big to fit properly. ( Besides if You have a .280 use a .280 shell, gun will last longer, So will you.)
As for the Stopping power, I have no clue, But I think a well placed .280 shot would do it.
the 280 remington is a 30-06 necked down to 7mm it started life as the 7mm rem express then got changed.
Your friend is WRONG.The 280 will not fire the 7mm mag the 7mm mag is the same as a 300 win mag case wise.
i think what your friend may be refering to is at one time the 280 remington was known as the 7mm express . it is the exact same round with a different name for marketing purposes . remington dropped the 7mm express name to avoid confusion with the magnum round .they remamed it 280 remingtom .the 280 is in fact a 7mm class round . they both shoot the same dia. bullet (.284)and i believe you can expect good results at 300 yards with good shot placement . be sure to use a better bullet .
ps , sorry tango i didnt read your post before placeing mine . pretty darn similar.
.280Rem is a great round. Easily capable of taking Elk out to 300 with one of the premium bullets like a Barnes TSX.
Easy on the recoil, flat shooting and mild.
The .280 is a good elk rifle when loaded with a tough bullet. You want penetration in a good elk load. I don't see any disadvantage to using a single shot.
Sometimes you earthlings REALLY amaze me!
Your friend is an IDIOT! DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ATTEMPT TO SHOOT A .280 ROUND THROUGH A 7mm MAG RIFLE!!!!!
Or vice versa either.
The .280 will fit in the 7mm Remingtom Magnum chambered rifle but it is unsafe to shoot it.
As stated earlier the .280 is the same as the 7mm Remington Express. This is not the same as the 7mm Remington Magnum.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire.

The only thing I like better than a big bowl of chili is a big bowl of chili with a side of corn bread.
Corn bread is simply a quick bread that incorporates cornmeal into its list of ingredients.
All cornmeal is made from dried kernels of corn. There is no difference between white and yellow corn meal other than the color of the corn it was ground from.
In my opinion, corn bread is best served straight out of the oven and slathered in butter or margarine with honey drizzled over the top because, well, it just tastes better that way.
The following recipes are great with a heaping helping of chili, but also pair well with fried chicken, fish, a bowl of soup or just as a quick snack when you need to whip up something a little different.
Sweet and Hot Corn Bread
1 1/2 cups cornmeal
1 cup flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
3 eggs
4 tablespoons oil
11- to 15-ounce can of fiesta-style corn, drained
1 1/2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
1/4 cup chopped jalapeno peppers, drained (from a jar not fresh)
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-by-9-inch baking pan. In a large bowl combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. In another bowl combine the milk, eggs and oil; whisk to combine.
Add the corn, cheese and chopped peppers to the egg mixture and mix to combine.
Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture. Do not over mix. Spoon the mixture into the greased pan and bake 30 to 35 minutes until lightly golden brown on top. Serves 6 to 8.
Cornbread Tex-Mex Style
2 eggs
1/4 cup oil
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (8 ounce) can creamed corn
1 large onion, chopped
2 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan. In a bowl combine the eggs, oil and buttermilk. Whisk to combine. Add 1 cup shredded cheese, creamed corn, onion and peppers. Mix to combine and set aside.
In a large bowl combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir the egg mixture into the dry mixture. Mix well.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the top is golden brown. Serves 6 to 8.
Bacon Crusted Corn Bread
10 slices of hickory smoked bacon (you can use regular)
1 1/2 cups cornmeal
1 1/2 cups flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 2/3 cups milk
3 large eggs
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups corn kernels (frozen or fresh)
In a skillet cook the bacon until crisp. Save the grease in a bowl and drain the bacon on paper towels. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with two to three tablespoons of the bacon grease.
In a bowl combine the cornmeal, flour, brown sugar, salt and baking powder. In another bowl combine the milk, eggs, honey and butter; whisk to combine.
By hand, stir the liquid mixture into the flour mixture. Fold in the corn. Pour batter into skillet. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top of the batter.
Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until golden on top. Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serves 8 to 10.

Book Marketing Blogsby Penny Sansevieri
December 10, 2012
Welcome to the December 10, 2012 edition of tips and tricks for writers and authors. We have some great tips on writing, social media and book marketing this week, and we hope you find this edition useful!
Social Media
Jeremy Biberdorf presents It Is Your Blogging Journey, You Make The Rules posted at Modest Money, saying, "There are things where there is no set blueprint that you need to follow. You are free to do what works for you and sometimes just wing it. Blogging is one of those things. There may be strategies that have worked well for others, but how you approach it is completely up to you."
Book Marketing
Glenda Watson Hyatt presents A Guide for the Book Lover: The Overlooked Cheerleader in Amazon Marketing Strategies posted at Do It Myself Blog saying, "Unless an author has a humongous following, simply uploading a book to Amazon means that it will most definitely be lost amidst the millions of other titles vying for book lovers' attention and money.
The good news is that authors can do much to increase the likelihood their books will be found. This is particularly good news for indie authors who are working with a thinly worn shoestring budget.
For this reason I am excited to release Become a Raving, Cheering Book Lover: A Guide to Sharing Your Favourite Amazon Books (PDF). This guide offers 7 easy-to-implement ways (with simple and clear instructions) you can use to share your latest read with others.
The guide is absolutely free. (No email address, personal measurements or first born required!)"
Nick Daws presents Writers Working from Home: How to Easily Improve Your Focus and Increase Your Productivity posted at Nick's Writing Blog, saying, "In this guest post, freelance jobs and careers writer Brian Jenkins sets out some top tips for writers on how to work more productively from home."
Brandon Yawa presents Stop Writing and Be Bruce Lee posted at Brandon Yawa, saying, "This blog implores writers to tap into their being, before they worry about market demands."

Daniel Drew presents The Truth: Press Release Links posted at Content Writing King Blog, saying, "There are many people (specifically in the SEO world) that use press releases as a 'link building strategy.'

None of the 3 online press release companies (PRWeb, Businesswire, or PRNewswire) even allow your keyword links to be 'NoFollow,' thus right there you are breaking Google's own rules."

Unearthing the answers to these questions, for yourself, and understanding how the answers differ from one another can keep your Muse inspired while and keep you moving in the direction of your writing dream."
Walt Shiel presents Writing Fiction the Walter Mitty Way posted at Making It Easy, saying, "Don't take the old saying about writing what you know too literally. If you find you don't already know everything you need to know to write the fiction you want to write, spend some time on research. And then find a way to internalize all those facts so you can write your story. The method I like to use is what I call the Walter Mitty Approach to fiction."
