AlexF.Oct 19, 2007A good game, quite good graphics and not a bad story. You never at any point during gameplay have more than 2 body guards with you. Its a good game, very very easy at some points, and very very hard at other points. Takes around 10 hours to complete and it isnt too bad a game.… Full Review »
NickM.May 2, 2007I can see why people didnt like this game. I personally liked it, even if it wasnt very well dont or polished. Its good fun. I wasnt expecting much, so maybe thats part of it. I liked learning cool moves and they make it seem unscripted but i feel like i did that on my own. Sometimes the bosses are very challenging while the normal enemies are too easy, but overall, not for everyone. this review can be used for the movie, same idea.… Full Review »
MikeT.Apr 28, 2007The people that give this low scores are the people that never beat it. Once you beat this game, like John E said, you keep everything the second time around, where you kill guys in a hit or 2 as apposed to 2 combos, with lots more dismemberment and decapitation, that should have been put in on the first run. the phalanx formation is lame at best, but that is just a small part, and once you get it, is not particularly difficult to win. So if you have the patience to beat this game the first time, you will be pleasantly surprised the second time.… Full Review »

Civil War deaths much higher
For 110 years, the numbers stood as gospel: 618,222 men died in the Civil War, 360,222 from the North and 258,000 from the South — by far the greatest toll of any war in American history.
But new research shows that the numbers were far too low.
By combing through newly digitized census data from the 19th century, J. David Hacker, a demographic historian from Binghamton University in New York, has recalculated the death toll and increased it by more than 20 percent — to 750,000.
The new figure is already winning acceptance from scholars. Civil War History, the journal that published Dr. Hacker's paper, called it "among the most consequential pieces ever to appear" in its pages. And a pre-eminent authority on the era, Eric Foner, a historian at Columbia University, said:

I'm writing a number of CGI scripts and applications that use /dev/stdin to pipe their input from an html form using the post method. I'm under the impression that since post uses stdin instead of an environment variable it can handle data streams more efficiently than the get method.
Are there any known buffer over-runs, exploits, or other liabilities that I should be aware of when using this method (not including whatever my scripts and apps are up to of course)? Any advice will be much appreciated.

As one of the country's leading experts on the world of extremism, Mark will inform us about the "state of hate" crimes from the vast experience of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
10:00 AM – 10:15 AM Break
10:15 AM – 11:30 AM Concurrent Workshops
Gold Star Cities: Measurable Change for Driving Diverse Communities –
Michelle Gahee Kloss, J. D., Not In Our Town, Director of Community Engagement
Your town can be a beacon of light for communities everywhere. The NIOT Gold Star Cities initiative recognizes NIOT communities that are making an ongoing commitment to safety, respect, and diversity for all. These selected cities receive focused support, including training, mentorship, and peer-to-peer exchanges.
Victims of Hate Crimes: Unique Needs –
Dennis Potter, Manager, Consultant Relations and Training, Crisis Care Network, & Jessica Barton, MSW Intern, GVSU
We have frequent conversations about hate crimes, preventing them, and prosecuting the perpetrators. This workshop will focus attention on the impact of hate crimes on the target of those crimes, the victims. We will explore the emotional, physical and spiritual toll, and then some helpful hints for helping the victims tap into their natural resilience to "bounce back."
Individuals Most Vulnerable: Hate Crimes Involving Individuals with Disabilities –
Carolyn Gammicchia & Andrew Gammicchia, Executive Directors, L.E.A.N. On Us
This session is designed to dispel myths about disability and provide information about the prevalence of abuse, victimization, and the increase in hate crimes against individuals with a disability. Case studies and available trainings for crime victim professionals and those who support individuals will be covered. Information, resources, and materials from initial investigation to prosecution and for appropriate trauma supports are also reviewed. The Gammicchias will also provide an overview of resources from the National Center for Criminal Justice and Disability and current legislation applicable to prosecution of these types of cases.
Hate Crimes: Legal Framework, Investigations, & Strategies –
Miriam Zeidman, Midwest Region, Civil Rights Counsel, Anti-Defamation League

Practicing Solidarity: Challenging Oppression and Leveraging Privilege –
Yvonne Siferd, Director of Victim Services, Leah Taraskiewicz, Victim Advocate Equality Michigan
Hate crimes are tools of oppression, and are often used to establish and/or perpetuate hierarchical power and privilege. Let's get to the root of the oppressive systems in which we are all participants and learn how to leverage our privilege to create a more equitable world.
11:30 AM – 11:45 AM Break
11:45 AM –1:00 PM Luncheon Plenary
1:00 PM – 1:15 PM Break
1:15 PM – 2:30 PM Concurrent Workshops
Building Relationships and Engaging with Sikh Americans: Bridging Cultural Divides –
Daedra A. Von Mike McGhee, Conciliation Specialist, U. S. Department of Justice, Community Relations Service Manager; Members of Sikh Society of Michigan
Through panel discussion with Sikh Society of Michigan members this training will address who Sikhs are with an overview of their culture, lifestyle, and cultural protocols. The training will provide participants with an opportunity to strengthen partnerships that are necessary for stronger community capacity and to foster understanding and enhance outreach capabilities to Michigan Sikh communities.
Compassion Fatigue: Highly Resilient, Yet Highly Exposed –
Judy Beahan, LMSW, Director, Clinical and Network Operations, Crisis Care Network
Those who choose to serve others during painful traumatic psychological and physical injury tend to be highly resilient. While we continue to be wise and intentional, we must also recognize that while we are highly resilient, we are also highly exposed. This cumulative effect or a "really difficult" case can contribute to compassion fatigue and professional burnout, especially if we don't keep our wits about us and stay intentional in good self-care. This session goes beyond reminding us of the basics and explores a paradigm of staying strong that includes emotional regulation, meaning making, personal narrative, and growing through adversity.
The Challenge of Citizenship: A Community Approach to Fighting Bias and Hate –
Paul R. Sheridan, West Virginia Civil Rights Attorney and Activist
Whether you are a law enforcer or a community activist, you may have been frustrated by the realities of a "community approach" to fighting hate. Is the investment of effort in a collaborative approach really the best way for you to "get the job done?" Can civil rights activists and law enforcers really be "on the same team?" This workshop will cover some critical considerations in answering those questions with a "yes," and it will examine some strategies for improving effectiveness in civil rights partnerships.
A World of Difference: A Primer Experience –
Harry Weaver, Education Director, Anti-Defamation League Michigan
This breakout will give an overview of ADL's World of Difference training that is designed to help participants recognize bias and the harm it inflicts on individuals and society; build understanding of the value and benefits of diversity; improve intergroup relations; and confront racism, anti-Semitism and all other forms of bigotry.
The Bundy Ranch & The Problem of Extremist Standoffs: A Case Study –
Mark Potok, Senior Fellow, Southern Poverty Law Center, and Editor-in-Chief, The Intelligence Report
Mark Potok will share experiences from recent incidents around the country, including The Bundy Ranch standoff, as well as examine best practices for community responses to hate.
2:30 PM – 3:30 PM Closing Plenary: Leading Through Crisis
Not In our Town Community Engagement Director, Michelle Gahee Kloss, will provide a plenary workshop to explore the benefits of community response in the wake of bias and hate crime incidents and best practices and challenges during times of crisis. Joining Ms. Kloss is Oak Creek, WI Mayor Steve Scaffidi, where in August of 2012, his community had the horrific incident at their Sikh Temple where six people died, and several others were wounded.

I recently traded options for portability, and moved to something smaller, a Canon Powershot SX700 HS. The first shots I took with this camera looked washed-out. Obviously, my exposure settings (light to dark ratios) … Continue reading
Photographs from the Little Rock Zoo, Arkansas
This gallery contains 14 photos.
When I'm in the mood for a long walk, I sometimes go to the zoo. On this particular day, it was overcast, and I'd hoped the animals would be especially active. Instead, most were simply relaxing. Although there weren't many action shots to be had, I did get a few portraits. I always look forward to … Continue reading
Clinton Presidential Center (Library)
This gallery contains 18 photos.
I recently met my friend, Marty Smith, at the Clinton Presidential Center to collect a painting we'd commissioned from her. The painting, pictured below, depicts Bourke's Luck Potholes in South Africa. These are other landscapes done by the same artist: While at the Clinton Library, I practiced taking pictures using my iPhone.
Photographs from Memphis Zoo in Tennessee
This gallery contains 1 photo.
Below are photographs from a recent trip to Memphis Zoo in Tennessee. Male lions are my favorite animals to photograph. However, their manes emit a yellow-green haze. This haze is not seen by the naked eye, but it often spoils photographs when it is captured by the camera. I encounter the same problem when photographing … Continue reading

Two burrowing owls peer from their underground nest entrance, watching whatever is near their home on Friday in a Cooper City, Fla. park. Officials there is a shrinking population of 3,000 owls. Expanding home and business construction has destroyed much of what was their homes. In some places, officials are trying to draw the owls to man-made holes in protected areas.

Jersey Shore Goes to That Great Combination Creatine Dispensary/Tanning Salon in the Sky
So, MTV is killing Jersey Shore. The network announced today that the show's sixth season, which premieres October 4, shall be its last upon this earth. Considering that's six TV seasons squeezed into three human years, we shouldn't really feel too bad about what's happening here. MTV squeezed all it could out of this damn thing, and will continue to explore its ancillary squeeze opportunities with a second season of Snooki & JWoww. (The Pauly D Project, the other Jersey Shore spinoff, is not likely to return.) The overexposure worked for longer than anyone would have guessed. But all things end: As Variety explains, "Ratings for the last few seasons have been declining, and the cabler decided to make the announcement five weeks before the final season so it can market it as the last, hoping that viewers who may have turned away will return to say goodbye."
Look — this is a time not to respond rationally, but emotionally. Sure, Jersey Shore has mutated and deformed, becoming an oft-unseemly beast, a hollow shell of itself and the carefree whimsy it once provided with ease. But what was, at least once, a true and dear friend is saying good-bye. So go on. You don't have to be strong; not right now. Let those tears go. Let them roll down your deeply bronzed cheeks until they pool in the soft cotton of your neon-colored novelty tank top.
Now, though — now we start to worry. From the very first episode of Jersey Shore, anyone paying attention could have predicted a dark and twisted future for these fast-burn reality starlets. The Situation, making a hasty retreat into rehab, has already beaten everyone to the punch. And that's before the show even went off the air! Now that most of these people don't have jobs?! I am terrified for all of them. Seriously, guidos, don't drink and drive. Call me if you need to and I'll come pick you up. I don't care how late it is.

http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/arti...<quoted text>I don't give a sh!t about your macro evolution. Get it through your head...evolution is proven.
Nitpick all you want, you cannot bring down what is truth.
People better than you ever will be have tried for 150+ years now and they have all failed.
Fundamentalist creatards are the only ones disputing evolution.
"Evolution at different scales: micro to macro
by the Understanding Evolution team
Evolution encompasses changes of vastly different scales — from something as insignificant as an increase in the frequency of the gene for dark wings in beetles from one generation to the next, to something as grand as the evolution and radiation of the dinosaur lineage. These two extremes represent classic examples of micro- and macroevolution.
Microevolution happens on a small scale (within a single population), while macroevolution happens on a scale that transcends the boundaries of a single species. Despite their differences, evolution at both of these levels relies on the same, established mechanisms of evolutionary change:"
FYI No one is better the me.
I sure hope Berkeley does not upset you too much. Ah, not really I do hope it raises you blood pressure.
There is no proof of macro evolution.
Never happened never will.

The front desk staff was extremely friendly and informative. The shuttle driver was wonderful! Will definitely use your facility again!
Full hot breakfast, super helpful staff, convenient shuttle to and from train, bus stop right outside the hotel, free parking garage, and more!
Being away from the frantic pace of New York and the wide choice of restaurants very nearby
Lift maintenance made it a slow trip to the room
The Bed.
No onsite lounge/restaurant.
the location, the staff, breakfast
maintenance for water problem was not professional.
location and ease of use of bus to port authority
water is very hard... could use more lotion to counteract hard water.
The location was amazing with several shops within walking distance. Outside the hotel there was a stop for a bus that took us right to Times Square with minimal stops. Parking was free and we never had to fight to find a spot. There was also a computer with a printer which made it easy to print directions.
It was a standard 3 star hotel so I wasn't expecting 5 star rooms but while the room was very clean, I was a little disappointed that the room did not at least come with a hair dryer.
everything was good specially the location
bathroom sink got clogged and the hotel couldn't fix it we were washing in the shower
The hotel had a nice appearance. Room was clean. It is in a great location with a lot to do. Room was quiet with minimal outside noise.
Bathroom was clean, however it had a strong vinegar odor.
I had a short weekend stay at the courtyard, and i enjoyed it. The hotel staff were very warm and welcoming. Nothing bad to say at all.
The customer service was outstanding. They were very professional and polite. The room was very clean and I had one of the most enjoyable nights I've had in a long time. The linen's were fresh and clean; the best was so comfortable. I have to travel to that area more often for business purposes and Courtyard is now my hotel of choice.
I liked the shuttle service provided by hotel,
no shuttle service to airports,
Great access to transit to get to NYC. Express bus at your back door. Great breakfast.
Staff was extremely helpful. Breakfast was included and was very good! Free parking. Free WiFi.
Noisy room next door.
Complimentary shuttle service to secaucas train station... Excellent!
Close proximity to bus service to NYC.
Lovedl all the staff!
All was nicely run
I liked the refreshing water break in the lobby.
There were no maps available to me unless I requested them.

Rainy Weather Driving Tips
LAS CRUCES- With the possibility of rain showers this weekend in the Borderland, it is important that motorists be prepared for wet roads and potentially unsafe driving conditions.
The Las Cruces Police Department is offering tips that could help improve safety during rainy conditions. The police department recommends following these and other safety tips:
• Slow down. Allow for more travel time when driving in rainy weather.
• When coming to a stop, begin slowing down sooner and gently apply brake pressure. Avoid sudden stops or slamming on brakes.
• Allow for greater distance between vehicles. Normal driving conditions recommend travelling at least three seconds behind other vehicles. When roads are wet it is recommended that drivers increase that distance.
• Give larger vehicles, like trucks and buses, more room for stops and turns.
• Avoid making sudden turns or lane changes.
• Drive around puddles as sitting water may be deeper than what it appears.
• Never attempt to drive through flooded arroyos or running water. Even when driving a 4x4 or large vehicle, like a truck or SUV, fast-moving water can easily overcome it.
• Drive with headlights on so your vehicle is more visible to other drivers.
• Stay alert to surrounding traffic and changing weather conditions.
• If rain is too heavy or streets are flooded, pull over to a safe distance from the roadway until conditions improve.
• Keep your vehicle well-maintained. Periodically check that brakes, tires and windshield wipers are in good working order.

The Grand Budapest Hotel 2014
Not exactly sure where this will fit into my love of other Wes Anderson films just yet. Simultaneously sillier, darker and more profane than anything he's done yet. Still, wildly enjoyable and I'm eager for another viewing already.
Pacific Rim 2013
Deeply deeply stupid. Cliches + exposition + f/x. Even the battles became tedious. This is the summer underdog I was supposed to defend?
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey 2012
48fps 3D was intermittently distracting, as was the strange lighting it seems to require. But a solid adventure tale that is still about 30 minutes too long. Blanchett and McKellen shine, and Freeman is sturdy as required.
The World's End 2013
Maybe I'm just catching up with Edgar Wright, but I enjoyed this the most of all three Cornetto films. Or maybe I just like pub crawls.
The Master 2012
Needs a rewatch or two, but I found it a compellingly strange love story. Freddie Quell is the best film character I've seen on the screen in a long time. Great performances all around. Dodd/Quell are mirror images, brothers, lovers, father and son. So many facets.
Zero Dark Thirty 2012
Text. No context. No subtext. :(
Boyhood 2014
Distractingly filled with pop culture references and musical cues to forcefully remind us exactly what year we're in, as if the actor growing up before our eyes isn't enough to convey that, you know, TIME IS PASSING.
Seeing this at True/False, a nonfiction film festival, was revelatory. After a few days in which I saw incredible and interesting narratives that were portrayed by real people, this fictional film had a "story" so banal as to make it feel like a…
Interstellar 2014
Admire Nolan's reach even when it exceeds his grasp. Some nice sections and performances, much more character development than GRAVITY, but still ends up just a little bit conventional for me.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. 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.

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.

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...

Got a question about the Rawlings Plasma BBCOR Baseball Bat: BBCPL3? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.Ask A Question
Does this bat have the BESR label on it? It is required for my son's junior high team which also requires the BBCOR -3 stamp.
No, the Rawlings Plasma BBCOR Baseball Bat (BBCPL3) does not carry the BESR stamp. BESR (Ball Exit Speed Ratio) is an outdated performance criteria that is not used anymore. In January of 2011, BBCOR (Batted Ball Coefficient of Restitution) replaced BESR as the new performance criteria. Since then, all Adult (Drop 3) models must carry the BBCOR stamp. You will not be able to find a composite or alloy bat that was produced after 2011 with the BESR stamp on it.
Hows does this bat compare to 2014 Louisville Slugger Warrior BBCOR Baseball Bat: BBWR14-RR?
The Rawlings Plasma BBCOR Baseball Bat (BBCPL3) is going to be very similar to the Louisville Slugger Warrior BBCOR Baseball Bat (BBWR14-RR). Both the Plasma and Warrior will be a one-piece all alloy design with a balanced swing weight.
Does the Rawlings Plasma BBCOR provide power and comfort (especially the bat grip)? Does it provide an easy swing (no stiff or paint when swinging)?
The Rawlings Plasma BBCOR Baseball Bat (BBCPL3) will provide power and comfort. The bat grip is very comfortable. This bat is balanced in swing weight and should not feel too barrel heavy.
Product Description
The Rawlings Plasma BBCOR Bat! Ever since Rawlings introduced one of the first BBCOR bats on the market, they've been working to perfect their BBCOR technology and designs. The Rawlings Plasma is just one of the fruits of their labor. The Plasma features a one-piece construction and is made from Rawlings' high-strength Aerospace Plasma Alloy. This durable alloy allows for some of the thinnest walls in the game, giving the Plasma incredible trampoline effect! pOp Technology is applied to the Plasma to allow Rawlings to meet BBCOR standards without using rings or inserts in the barrel. This allows for more barrel flex, a much larger sweet spot and ultimately more pop! This, along with superior end cap technology, also gives the Plasma a reduced barrel weight for increased balance and swing speed! With one of the lowest M.O.I. on the planet, the Plasma will have players hitting the ball to all corners of the field! Rawlings: The Mark of a Pro! The Rawlings Plasma is BBCOR Certified and approved for high school and collegiate play. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Virtualization has been a boon to enterprise as it makes IT operations more efficient. Some like its green qualities as virtualization saves on energy consumption, while others appreciate the storage capacity, as well as the data recovery solutions for if disaster strikes.
However, the virtual environment is invisible, and with that come more challenges in making sure it runs smoothly. The cloud might be simple to setup, but it becomes more complex over time. In addition, the more machines and data involved, the more difficult it can be to monitor for space, CPU spikes, network security and other indicators.
"If there is a bug or a discrepancy, I need to know that there's a problem before my customer does. And though that is the biggest challenge, it's also a great opportunity," Russ Caldwell, CTO, Emcien Corporation said.
One of those challenges is making sure storage in the virtualized environment is adequate. "We focus on storage and database environments that scale as the customers grow," said Caldwell. "Determining how fast customers grow and change is the biggest factor for determining the adequate storage size."
Companies looking at virtualization solutions need storage solutions that are flexible so they can add or remove storage, as needed. Even though it may have been the right size in the beginning of a project, things change, and a flexible virtualization tool can give that peace of mind when things change. For example, when we're working with slow-moving manufacturing data, we can determine the adequate storage size easier than when we're working with hundreds of millions of bank nodes, where the growth is much more dramatic.
The key, according to John Ross with virtual solution company Phantom Business Development at Net Optics, is to truly assess the performance of the servers and the requirements of the virtual machines. This requires monitoring to be in place for the life of the systems to predict utilization and to modify placement based on performance. "When this is not accounted for, it can appear as though there is high CPU utilization on the hosts as well as the VMs," said Ross, "With the use of protocols such as NFS and ISCSI, it can put quite a load on the network."
Companies moving to the cloud also have to change how they think about networking. "It can be hard to understand how network connection works when there aren't wires to simply plug it into a box, but instead virtual, invisible connections that need to be managed through APIs or online interfaces," said Caldwell. One of the challenges for a company with multiple clients is keeping client data separate from one another. Grouping machines together and isolating them in their own network is the best approach in tackling this challenge. Using excellent monitoring tools smartly can ensure that the network is as reliable as possible.
"Network connectivity comes down to whether the network connection is a single point of failure: If your virtualization solution is off-site, it's only as good as the quality of the Internet connection between you and your provider," said William L. Horvath with DoX Systems. If you have a single connection between you and the Internet, that's one problem. (You can reduce the risks by contracting with two or more ISPs and getting routers that support trunking.) Likewise, if your virtualization provider's facility is in a single geographical location (say, Manhatten) that loses functionality for an extended period of time due to some natural disaster, you're hosed. Our Chamber of Commerce lost access to a cloud-based service not too long ago because someone in the data center, which wasn't owned by the service provider, forgot to disable the fire suppression system during emergency testing, which unexpectedly destroyed most of the hard drives in the servers.
To avoid the challenges involved in virtualization, Ross provided the following tips:
1. Plan on virtualizing everything — not just the servers but the network, the storage, the security … everything!
2. Standardize everything, from the operating systems on upwards through middleware and applications. The more uniformity exists within configurations, the easier it will be to scale and move these workloads optimally around the environment.
3. Ensure network capabilities are met. This will dynamically change and collapse. There will be huge flow changes as utilization and cloud are adopted.
4. Implement resource monitoring. Existing legacy tools will not provide the data or detail needed.
5. Implement a decommissioning process. Ross repeatedly finds several unused machines running. In a virtual environment, this can become a major issue, consuming resources and driving up costs.
6. Plan for backup and disaster recovery. This will drastically change in virtualization and must be addressed.
7. Train your team based on what the management will look like, not on the migration.
The cloud solves certain problems really well and it allows for SMBs to have the flexible infrastructures that they require — without a lot of capital or hardware or payroll costs. Using the cloud wisely with the right tools, companies can get a leg ahead.

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.

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 ...
