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. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data.

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 ...

One of the biggest challenges when developing connected devices is identifying user value and delivering it through successful user experiences. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Mike Kuniavsky, Principal Scientist, Innovation Services at PARC, described an IoT-specific approach to user experience design that combines approaches from interaction design, industrial design and service design to create experiences that go beyond simple connected gadgets to create lasting, multi-device experiences grounded in people's real needs and desires.

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies. Nest, a Google company, detects temperatures inside homes and automatically adjusts it by tracking its user's habit. These technologies are quickly developing and with it come challenges such as bridging infrastructure gaps, abiding by privacy concerns and making the concept a reality. These challenges can't be addressed w...

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.

Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics is e...

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. The difference ...

World Wetlands Day 2015
World Wetlands Day 2015 theme "________________" and 2014 theme is "Wetlands take care of water"
World Wetlands Day is celebrated on February 2nd every year as it marks the adoption of the Convention on Wetlands called Ramsar Convention which took place in the Iranian city of Ramsar near the Caspian Sea on 2 February 1971. Around 160 countries have signed the Treaty that provides the framework for national action and international cooperation for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources. The World Wetlands Day celebrations started from 1997 onwards. After this encouraging beginning, government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and groups of citizens at all levels of the community have come forward to use this opportunity to commence actions generating public awareness of wetland values and benefits in general and the Ramsar Convention in particular.
As wetlands are the most diverse and productive ecosystems on our planet, by saving them we can preserve ecosystems and their species. Wetlands are home to an immense variety of species ranging from plants, insects, freshwater fish, amphibians, marine turtles, mammals and birds. Wetlands are sites for resting, breeding and feeding for many migrating species.
World wetlands day celebration has inspired people around the world to work for wetlands. People became more and more aware of the connection between a healthy wetland eco-system and human health. Wetlands can prevent the contamination of ground water and it helps in water recycling too. Around 30 acres of wetlands are created in the city of Petaluma, California as part of the Ellis Creek Water Recycling Facility.
Infact, healthy wetlands can assure food security; water security; 'insurance' through the formation of natural buffers to storm damage; as well as spiritual, recreational and educational value. Degradation of wetlands results in the spread of infectious diseases and the resurgence of water-related diseases. It will also reduce the availability of wetland plants and animals that have medicinal values.
Because wetlands work for us: we have to work for wetlands as well. Restoration, creation and protection of wetlands can result in an improved health of our local, national, and international waterways. The theme for World Wetlands Day celebration, 2012 is "Wetlands and Tourism". Wetlands tourism is an advantage for people and wildlife both locally and nationally.

Is it time to sell cows, build herds, or get out?

This year it is nearly impossible to talk about the cattle industry in this country without talking about the drought in the southwestern U.S. At the K-State Beef conference in Manhattan, Kan., on Aug. 16 nearly every speaker alluded to the drought.
"The drought in the southern Plains has put pressure on the national herd and limited the number of states with the ability to expand their herds," said Glynn Tonsor, assistant professor of agricultural economics at K-State.
In July Tonsor said 40 percent of the beef cows in the U.S. were in states where 40 percent of the pastures were rated poor to very poor. Drought in the southwest and high cull cow prices in other areas has resulted in a large number cows leaving the herd this year.
"The drought is a big issue for the cow-calf segment of the beef industry," Tonsor said.
Tonsor said it might be 2014 before there is the potential to expand the national herd.
There are strategies that cattlemen can use if they are faced with the prospect of downsizing or selling off their cows. Southwest Area Extension Specialist Justin Waggoner said early weaning of calves reduces cow nutrient requirements and can increase the number of days cows can stay on grass.
Drought intervention
"The goal of drought intervention is to match your herd to the available forage," Waggoner said.
Calves can be weaned as early as 45 days of age, but the best results have been when calves were weaned between 90 and 150 days of age. Research shows that this can reduce a cow's dry matter intake by 10 percent and reduce maintenance energy requirements by 28 percent.
If producers are planning to wean calves early Waggoner suggested delivering small amounts of feed to calves on pastures prior to weaning. Don't over feed the calves. Waggoner said to anticipate low feed intake since lightweight calves only consume 1 to 1.5 percent of their bodyweight.
Daytime temperatures have been extremely high this year and Waggoner said producers should take precautions when working cattle. He said to work cattle when it is cool, allow cattle plenty of pen space, provide adequate water supply, and think low stress.
A lactating 1,400-pound cow needs 30.3 pounds of dry forage, but a dry cow only needs 27.3 pounds of dry forage on a daily basis. Weaning calves 30 days early equals an extra week of grazing for dry cows.
Producers can stretch their forage supply by grazing underutilized areas in pastures. Waggoner said cattle could be enticed to use these areas by placement of minerals or supplements.
Waggoner said the long-term drought outlook is not good. The current weather pattern could last through the end of October.
"There does not appear to be much change in the moisture patterns," Waggoner said.
Another strategy that producers might consider is to implant cull cows. Chris Reinhardt, K-State Department of animal Sciences and Industry, said cull cows have a tremendous response to implants. The average daily gain can be increased 10 to 30 percent by using implants on cull cows. This could return an extra $75 per head to producers when the cows are sold, Reinhardt said.
Reinhardt said implants stimulate new lean growth in mature animals. Implants stimulate satellite cells that contribute to DNA.
"If you are going to feed cull cows you might benefit from using implants," Reinhardt. "They can make cows more efficient gainers."
Sell, build, or get out
Producers are faced with the decision to sell cows, to build their herds or to get out of the business.
"The correct answer will vary for every individual operation due to varying production and economic factors as well as personal goals and objectives," said Kevin Dhuyvetter, K-State professor of agricultural economics.
Selling cows might be the correct choice for producers with limited forage resources or those who are starting to transition out of the business, Dhuyvetter said. Except in the southern plains cull cow prices have been at record high prices.
There are tax implications if the decision is to sell cows. Justin Waggoner said a capital gains deferral is possible if more animals than usual business practices dictate were sold due to weather related conditions.
Some producers might decide to get out of the business. The reasons for this decision might include the stress of high input costs, price volatility and changes occurring in the industry.
"If you long term goal is to remain in the industry and your cost of production is average or better and you are willing to embrace new technologies, this could be a good time to add cows," Dhuyvetter said. "Cow numbers are low, calf prices are high and we will be short numbers for quite a while."
The impact of the drought in the southern plains will impact the entire beef industry and play a role in whatever producers decide to do.

Turkey to protect straits treaty from breaches
Sunday, April 13, 2014
HIROSHIMA, Japan - Turkey would protect its long-standing straits convention from any violations, Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has said.
Davutoglu played down tensions with Russia, dismissing claims Moscow 'threatened' Ankara over its alleged breaching of the Montreux Convention.
He said the treaty was "vitally important both for stability in the Black Sea and the security of Istanbul and the straits."
"Turkey has never eschewed its responsibilities, and remained faithful to the convention," Davutoglu said in the Japanese city of Hiroshima on Sunday.
Russia claimed earlier this month that two U.S. vessels exceeded the waiting period in the Black Sea region -- 21 days, as specified in the convention.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry responded on Thursday that only one U.S. vessel, "USS Taylor," stayed longer as it experienced a breakdown and had to be taken out with the help of a towing boat.
Davutoglu left Hiroshima for Mexico on Sunday after attending a nuclear non-proliferation meeting in the historic city and holding bilateral talks with Japanese officials.
During his trip to Mexico City, the Turkish foreign minister will meet his counterparts from hosting Mexico, Indonesia, South Korea and Australia.
The meeting is part of a recent initiative -- MITKA, after country initials -- that aims at governance cooperation among the member states, all members of the Group of Twenty.
Davutoglu will also pay visits to the Dominican Republic and Haiti, both firsts for a Turkish foreign minister.

|Discovered by coach at son's game, McAnderson gives Kansas lift
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 22 November 2007 12:34
He also found a running back who - now five years later - has been a major help in No. 2 Kansas getting to its highest ranking and biggest game in school history.
Tommy was the quarterback at Lawrence High School his senior year, just after the family moved from Oklahoma when dad became the Jayhawks' head coach.
Pop would beam whenever Tommy completed a pass. His instincts as a father were working full blast. But so were his instincts as a coach. As the season wore on, he started paying attention to another kid in the backfield.
Not many other big-time head coaches were spending much time studying Brandon McAnderson. He was a decent running back and a decent linebacker. But he didn't appear to have the speed or size to play in the Big 12.
Or did he?
``Everybody said he's a good high school player but he's not a Division I player,'' Mangino said. ``And I didn't buy into that.''
Mangino noticed Tommy's teammate had subtle skills that are not easy to teach.
``The thing that caught my eye quickly about Brandon, even though he was playing high school football, was his ability to make people miss, his vision,'' he said. ``To me, he had incredible vision. Coupled with the vision, he had the quick feet to match it. Everybody knows he's not a sprinter.''
So a scholarship was offered - and immediately accepted. As a Lawrence kid, McAnderson was a lifelong Jayhawks fan who had always wanted to play at KU.
He wasn't an instant hit. It took a lot of hard work for McAnderson to become a steady contributor. Until this season, he had only 228 yards total on the ground.
One problem was the guy ahead of him. Last year as a senior, Jon Cornish led the Big 12 in rushing. But this year, as a senior, McAnderson finally got his chance and responded with 1,009 yards on the ground going into Saturday night's game against No. 3 Missouri for the Big 12 North title.
Backfield mate Jake Sharp has contributed 788 yards and, with a big night against the Tigers, could give the Jayhawks their first two 1,000-yard rushers in the same year for the first time in history.
Everybody knew Sharp had great promise. He was one of the most heavily recruited high school players in the state two years ago. McAnderson, though, is an example of what happens when a sharp-eyed coach is able to detect long-term promise and the young player is willing to work hard enough to bring the promise to fulfillment.
``I felt he was one of those guys who was overlooked. And I knew he wanted to be here,'' Mangino said. ``He was a kid who lived in the area and this was important to him. He wanted to play for Kansas, and that carried a lot of clout with me.''
His improvement has been gradual and steady.
``Each and every year he's gotten a little stronger. He's gotten a little faster,'' Mangino said. ``He understands things a little better. He's a guy who just kept at it year after year and got better each and every year.''
McAnderson believes there would have been other opportunities at other colleges. But he didn't have to give it a second thought when Mangino asked him to become a Jayhawk. He saw good things in the new Kansas coach just as the coach saw good things in him.
``I liked KU,'' McAnderson said. ``I thought it was time for a change and I thought Coach Mangino was the guy who could turn things around. I'm glad to be a part of it.''
If he hadn't happened to play on the same high school team with Tommy Mangino, McAnderson may never have been part of a major college program because Mark Mangino would never have seen him play.
So it all turned out to be a lucky break for the player, the coach and the school, right?
``If you want to know the truth, I was hoping they were going to throw the ball more because my son was the quarterback,'' Mangino said, grinning.
``I guess you could say Brandon's gain was my son's loss.''

All recommended hotels in Athens by cheapest
Address Em.Benaki 105 & Dryadon Street (Exarchia)
Dryades' appealing touches appear to be the result of a piecemeal aesthetic additions as opposed to any sort of stylistic renovation.
Address Lekka Str. 21 (Plaka)
The Achilleas's 36 comfortable rooms are more business class than basic. Beds are comfortable, though there are no stylistic thrills here.
Address 55 Themistokleous Str. (Exarchia)
The hotel's 50 rooms are very plain, yet there's something restrained and even elegant about these rooms, in a simple, institutional 1970s aesthetic way.
Address 16, Bouboulinas street (Exarchia)
This 93-room hotel occupies two adjacent buildings. One houses single and double rooms, and the other houses the triple rooms and junior suites.
Address 79 Evripidou Str (Psyrri)
While Evripides is a total plain jane, it's also very clean and inexpensive.
Address 32,Ag.Konstantinou Str. (Omonia)
The comfortable Hotel Achillion offers tastefully decorated rooms without tastefully-decorated-room prices—it's a win-win combination.
Address Kondrou 6 (Plaka)
This family-run hotel has a nice location in Plaka, the oldest and most charming of Athens' neighborhoods.
Address 6-8 Mitropoleos Str- 12 Nikis Str (Plaka)
Hotel Arethusa has the dated, exciting atmosphere of a hotel where much intrigue went down during Athens's turbulent 1960s and 1970s.
Address Ag. Dimitrou 18, Monastiraki (Psyrri)
Hotel Arion, which opened in time for the 2004 Olympics, perfectly expresses the affordable Athenian boutique hotel impulse.
Address Mitropoleos 19 & Pentelis 7 (Plaka)
Tucked away behind an Asian rug shop, the 46-room Hotel Amazon gives you convenient access to the most appealing parts of central Athens but muffles both the noise and hassle.
Address 7 Kapnikareas & Mitropoleos (Plaka)
First and foremost, the Plaka is a capable hotel, with especially good rates considering the hotel's location in the heart of heaviliy tourist-trafficked Athens.
Address 65 Athinas & Lycourgou Street (Omonia)
The Pallas Athena, formerly the Athena Grand, is located in one of Athens' most bustling areas.
Address 9 Falirou street, Makriyianni (Koukaki & Makrygianni)
Hotel Hera is splurgeworthy for its relative affordability, its great location, and its inviting high-end atmosphere.

Oh my GOD! It's like someone read my mind. It's like God and Vienna Beef got together and said "I Love You Becky!". But anyways before I have a joygasm – onto the food!
So Cincinnati's *only* Chicago restaurant. MMM! Can you tell I'm bonkers about hot dogs? First time there I had the classic. The Chicago dog. No short of perfection. Poppy seed bun, Vienna Beef dog, mustard, neon relish, onion, tomato wedges, dill pickle spear, sport peppers, celery salt. How did I live in the midwest without these until 2009? I don't know!
Second time I went there I had the classic Chicago dog and the Maxwell Street Polish sausage. A delicious Polish sausage on a poppy seed bun with sauteed onions and sport peppers with mustard. We also had Cheddar fries. The small is large enough to share. The cheddar cheese sauce that covers these fries is lava hot! When we were done we got a free ice cream cone. I didn't ask whether that came with a meal or if we shamefully met some sort of dollar amount food threshold that entitled us to 2 free cake cones of tasty soft serve. Pat got the cheddar dog (just what it sounds like – lava hot cheddar sauce) and the Italian Beef sandwich. That sandwich looked tasty.
3rd time I had the polish sausage Chicago style. That is my best friend! I <3 Polish Sausage. Ok. . . relax…… Another aspect of the restaurant was their Local's Map. They have a large map of Chicago and native Chicagoans are encouraged to register yourself with their book of locals and you get a small pin to put on the map for your neighborhood that you're from. Such a sweet idea that really conveys the pride they have for their hometown. I can't wait to take my sister-in-law, a proud Chicago girl from Cicero. They proudly display Chicago sports team jerseys and several photographs of the Chicago hot dog culture. The decor is 50's diner style and there's a TV on to entertain you if you've popped in for lunch like I try to do. Seriously. I have been there 3 times in about 2 weeks. If you like a straightforward delicious hot dog – go. GO!
