As we peer at the detail of the latest World Cup stats from Google, for those not so keen on the beautiful game, it's time to think about all of the many thousands of stewards running around behind the scenes keeping things together. Who does this for your app project? It's time to peer into part six of our top ten tips for creating a mobile startup. Following up from our guide last time on how to find the perfect app developer / designer, we are now start to explore who is powering your app, who is behind it.
"Behind every great man, is a woman rolling her eyes…" Jim Carry, quote from 'Bruce Almighty'
As Facebook suffers it's worst downtime of only fifteen minutes, it looks like the original face-stretching actor Jim C has also suffered the agony of trying to make sure his Backend as a Service (BaaS) keeps up with his frontend delivery. In essence every mobile app that is out there is a thin client to a much larger backend system, where data flows from app to database and back again over (hopefully) secured web services. A few years ago this would have required custom development as existing CMS tools could not provide the features developers required for apps. Now there are a range of cloud providers in the market, with the successful Parse snapped up by Facebook in 2013. What should you ask your provider?
The power of the cloud for your app
- Features, features, features – data storage is a given, are you going to provide me with any other features, such as push-notifications that are mobile specific?
- Your train is on platform 2, iOS only - do you have lovely SDKs or integration kits for every-mobile-OS-under-the-sun? Without Badu support, we are OVER!
- Price as transparent as water – can you see start for free and see the price levels clear as you scale up and down?
- Service updates and availability, better than air - what guarantees of uptime do you get for the service, has it been reliable in the past?
- Scorched earth policy, leaving and joining- is the sign-on process easy and how hard is it to get your data back out of the platform is you want to leave?
- The power of Yo, upscaling ability - what happens if your app experiences a surge in traffic up or down, is that a quick and easy process to upscale?
- Shop around for solutions - which are the best options out there to pick and choose from for your particular app?
Features, features, features
What features does your cloud-powered app need to have for your app to work? As you start to develop your app, whether in M.V.P. form, prototype or full blown app, you will soon want to store information in a database for users to get to later on. This may include:
- Users creating an account, profile, logging in
- Users storing data based on their app activity
- Users making purchases, via in-app systems or externa
- Geolocation for your app, with local lookups
- Push notifications for status updates
- File storage and access globally, including CDN and video
The cloud providers realised that there were different systems for each mobile eco system e.g. APNS for iOS and GCM for Android requiring developers to create two or more sets of code to support both. The solution? A cloud-platform based cross-platform solution to make integration easier. Before you choose your provider, list the key features you want to use now and what might be on your 'wish list' for later on to ensure they can support your plans for the first and any subsequent release you have there.
Your train is on platform2, iOS only
The advantage of using a cloud provider is that they support all of the platforms that you can think of. There are always going to be new surprises in the world of mobile apps, with programming langauges like Swift appearing, but in the most part the following platforms are still in use around the world currently so check your provider supports the following:
- iOS for iPhone and iPad (as well as the new iWatch! Oh, spoiler alert there)
- Android for all lovely smartphones and tablets from Samsung et al
- Kindle SDK for the Fire-y phones and tablets from Jeff
- Windows OS for all those shiny Microsoft Surface 3s shipping soon
- JS support or native cross-platform OS platforms
- WebOS for older Palm and other tablet devices
- OSx for those two people still making Mac desktop apps
Price as transparent as water
The process of gradually increasing your userbase over time can also apply to your backend web servers, applications and databases. The theory behind cloud computing is that it is flexible and delivered to suit the needs of the customer, be that using teraflops of data to search for life on Mars – http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ – or to register and login a few thousand users on your app. What you want to be able to do is probably try a few services out for free to start off then ask for information about service pricing. This can be set on usage rather like traditional hosting or set based on number of users. If the former, expect the usual file storage, bandwidth in / out and speed capabilities to increase with cost levels. Check that the breakpoints can work with you expect your expected traffic to rise over time and that they rise gently so you can gradually increase your resources at a cost you can can afford. One final aspect to check is the cost of any support issues that you might want to raise. Most services will cover a few quick technical questions with some answers for free but if you have a more in-depth question or problem with the service, can you still submit that for free? Is there a paid version where you can pre-buy business level support?
Service updates and availability, better than air
We don't often wonder about how services like Google's Gmail are constantly available, we just decry them when they go down for around an hour on one day. Your app users will expect a similar level of service when they start using your app, irrespective of whether it is a free or paid app, so making sure your backend service is always available is important. Ask your provider how they make sure their service is redundant and check what Service Level Agreement (S.L.A.) is provided by them, their guarantee of uptime. They may also provide analytics of how the service has performed in the past, although as with other services, past performance is no indication of future performance. Maintenance is always required to keep any service up to date so make sure you have subscribed to the right email list to check the alerts that providers will be issuing before they carry this out. Most will provide enough notice for you to alert your users, if they even notice, as many of the maintenance windows will be designed to be as small as possible hopefully and won't affect your service to any major degree.
Scorched earth policy, leaving and joining
After the big event, there is often a lot to clear up, unless you opt for a Burning Man style "take everything with you" policy. For future planning, it is always worth checking how easy it is to close your account and export all of your data. Do you have to give months of notice before leaving or can you just end at the month when you are all paid up? Are you able to extract all of your data in one fowl swoop in a download that you can then use easily in another platform, is the data machine readable at all? If not, is there a programmable way you can get at an export of your data via an API to save elsewhere? The other major issue is how to migrate your users over to the new service that you might be moving to, if this a bespoke backend service or even another hosted service. You may have to issue an app update to change the URLs you are using to point to your web services, if you aren't able to simply update the DNS and map this over to your new service. In that case, it is worth sending out messages to your users well before time so that they are aware of the upgrade and also investigating whether to include code in your apps to automatically check for an update when they launch.
The power of Yo, upscaling ability
Recent apps that have launched and either flapped their way to the top, or yo-yo'ed their way up the charts, have seen interstellar growth in a very short period of time. Check that your provider is able to scale and what sort of timescale they would be looking at to do that. Can you resize your existing service to make it larger or do you have to migrate from the simple to the more advanced service? Do you have to factor in time for a server re-build or a DNS upgrade so that you service is unavailable for an amount of time? The advantage of using scalable services is that they can flex both up and down as well. There will always be upwards and downwards movements in your visitor numbers as promotions and other activity affect your traffic levels. You may be affected by the seasons or peaks in e-commerce about Christmas for example. Whatever the nature of your app, if you can reduce your service need at your downtimes, you will be able to save money over the course of a year. If you can predict when these up and downtimes may well occur, then some services also provide the ability to automatically scale up and down for you which is a definite bonus.
Shop around for solutions
There are a large number of providers of this sort of technology. Hopefully we have provided you with some of the main questions to ask each of them and review before taking the plunge with one of the solutions. Let's run through the key ones to consider:
- Parse - the original service that started back in 2012 now owned by Facebook.
- Kinvey - a flexible service with some great developer resources on-board.
- Bassbox - a new entrant into the field, removing vendor lock-ins throughout.
- Kumulos - a service which focusses on strong customer support.
- Backendless - the instant backend service for mobile apps.
- Applicasa - a backend service targetted at gaming apps.
- Appcelerator - with over 600,000 developers in over 162 countries.
- Kony - enterprise level service with multi-channel cloud support.
- FeedHenry - backend services and app building tools provider.

4 red flags in veterinary job candidates
An important difference between your practice and others in your community is the people you hire. You can have medical expertise, an award-winning hospital, a good location and competitive fees, but if your team members aren't right for the culture of your practice, it can lead to a loss of veterinary clients and a damaged reputation.
During the initial interview, you can usually identify job applicants who won't be a good fit for your practice by looking for the following red flags:
Doesn't smile. "We don't train people to smile. We hire people who smile," said Vincent Stabile, former vice president at JetBlue Airways. "I look at people and try to ascertain their default position. If their natural default is friendly and smiling, that's likely to be a person who will provide the customer service we want. If someone is unhappy or frowning, or has to put on a front to engage with people, that's not going to be the right kind of person."Shows a lack of courtesy. How does a job applicant interact with your receptionist, for example, when first arriving at your hospital? Is he or she polite? Respectful? Appreciative of any assistance offered? Ask your receptionist about his or her reaction to the job applicant; those insights can be valuable. (You may be surprised how rude some job applicants can be when they're not being interviewed.)
Reveals confidential information. Beware of job applicants who reveal confidential information about former employers or practices. You could be next.
Discusses compensation prematurely. Every job applicant wants the most he or she can get in terms of salary and benefits. This is understandable. Nevertheless, there's a right time to discuss such matters—and it's after you or your hospital manager have shown serious interest in hiring the person. Many interviewers consider a premature interest in compensation or benefits, especially at the beginning of the interview, a major red flag.
Veterinarians often find themselves with a desperate and immediate need to fill a vacancy. This can lead to one of the most common hiring mistakes: settling—which can adversely affect client satisfaction and practice growth. Don't compromise your standards for the sake of expediency.

For the HTTP/1.1 support of content ranges, what should be the correct server response for a byte range that is outside the actual contents of the file? For example, suppose I have a file 1000 bytes in length, and the request sent to my server includes a range request of: Range: bytes=2000-2500 What is the correct response? Is a 204 the correct response? Is a 206 with a Content-Length of 0 Correct? If so, then what is the "Content-Range:" that one should return? The HTTP/1.1 spec seems to imply that the right thing would be to return 200 along with the entire content (as a general error handling mechanism), however in this case, doing so seems to be the worst response and defeat the purpose of using content ranges.

I'll have 6 months of perfect history with BofA once this month's statement posts. I put all of my payments on the card and PIF before the statement posts. I don't know if I should wait or not.
I know people with similar limited history have been approved for Zync recently, but who knows if that was just a July 4th approval spree by AmEx.
I was also looking at Citi Forward for 5x the points for restaurants and Amazon (I'm a college student and I eat out way too much for my own good ). I'm more hesitant about pulling the trigger with Citi. Before the new credit card laws went into place, people were getting the Forward card with my credentials. Now, however, many have said that Citi wants to see 6 months of history on TWO cards to be approved for Forward (which is pretty curious considering the card is marketed towards college students).
I don't know my FICOs (I'm waiting for my 6th statement to post to purchase them). My Credit Karma (TU) FAKO is 728 and my Quizzle (EX) FAKO is 658 (not that either of those figures mean anything). Both Citi and Amex pull Experian first.
I make about $12,000 a year with a part time job. I have no inquiries on any bureau in the past 6 months. I have 0 on EQ, 1 on TU, and 1 on EX in the past year.
I think I'm going apply for Zync first. If I get approved, I'll use it for 6 months along with my BofA card and then apply for Forward. If I get denied, I'll wait another 6 months and apply for both at the same time.
My wife just got a SSN (she is an import and got a Green Card too) 3 months ago. I added her 2 months ago as AU on my Amex Delta Gold and Discover. She just got approved for Zync on her own. So she was able to get it with no realy credit history at all.

Wow...you guys are really building my confidence haha.
What type of histories did the Delta Gold and the Discover card have?
Delta Gold was 9 months
Discover I've had sonce 1999 (one of my first CC)
Here again my wife was only AU for about 2 months and only had a SSN issued for 3 months
Keep us posted!
Good Luck-

Last minute tips for parents when the SHTF
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
There are many free homeschooling sites with pdf files. It would be great to have them just in case there are issues.
Get medications that your kids need. See if your doctor will prescribe 3 months supplies for them.
Get some presents tomorrow for Christmas. Little gifts that you could give out not only then, but throughout the year as incentives. They'll really appreciate them.
Children can thrive in the woods as long as they have calm parents. They cannot keep up with your pace up and down tails. You've got to plan adequately if you do have to walk some.
Kids are used to incorrectly using a backpack since kids at school wear them in the wrong fashion, which adds too much stress to their lower back. You'll have to reteach them how to buckle it properly and position it higher than they used to wearing it.
Try to make gathering wood into a game. Teach them as much about nature as possible. Being quiet is as important as talking.
Kids love open fires. Tell stories. It can simply be times when they did wonderful things when they were younger. They love hearing how much you love and adore them. Even teens.
Hug and kiss them often. Be generous with your affection. Lavish it on them
Anonymous Coward 1496915
Precisely WHAT KIND of SHTF scenario do you envision that will allow the preppers to just merrily roll along . . . such as what you describe in your almost Disney-like description above?

Court rules case made that Rimini violated Oracle database copyright
Four years ago Oracle Corp. began legal action against a third party maintenance support firm called Rimini Street, alleging copyright infringement for software copied from customers onto Rimini servers. (We wrote about the dispute it here.)
Over time, the fight has stretched into other areas, most recently with Rimini alleging it had been defamed by Oracle in public statements. But the issues are being narrowed.
Now Oracle says it won a big victory Thursday with a Las Vegas judge agreeing in a partial summary judgment that the company has established at first look (prima facie) that Rimini did infringe on its Oracle Database software copyright. Not only that, the judge dismissed Rimini's defamation claim, meaning Oracle can continue to say Rimini engaged in theft of its intellectual property.
Read the judge's decision here.
Court order in Oracle Inc. v. Rimini Street Inc. – U.S. District of Nevada
Both sides issued press releases, although many issues still have to be decided by a trial.
Oracle's release said Thursday's decision followed a February ruling that Rimini Street infringed on Oracle's PeopleSoft copyright and proved prima facie copyright infringement on its JD Edwards and Siebel copyrights.
"The court's ruling today, like the court's ruling in February, is an important vindication of Oracle's intellectual property rights," Oracle attorney Geoff Howard said in the release. "After today's ruling, Rimini can no longer deny that it engaged in 'massive theft' of Oracle's intellectual property. We look forward to holding Rimini Street and Seth Ravin accountable at trial for the damages caused by their misconduct."
For its part, Rimini's release said it respectfully disagrees with Thursday's ruling and reserves the right to appeal. It also said the decision related to Oracle Database software no longer in use at Rimini, so it won't cause any disruption to customers.
"Both rulings relate primarily to a group of clients who provided copies of their Oracle licensed PeopleSoft, JD Edwards and Siebel software to Rimini Street for installation on Rimini Street servers for use as test/development environments, and to underlying Oracle Database software licenses that were used to operate these client test/development environments," Rimini said in a background document sent to reporters.
"As Rimini Street no longer uses these Rimini Street-hosted environments (they have all been migrated to client servers with client's own copy of Oracle Database), the Court's rulings will not cause any interruptions to service for any client or any product line.
"Rimini Street looks forward to our long-awaited and anticipated day in front of a jury, and we will continue to vigorously defend the lawsuit and attempt to reach a fair resolution," the statement added.Related Download

Book sale's fate hinges on meeting
Role of library's basement at issue
|A meeting between Southbury's fire marshal and a risk management specialist for the town's insurance company will be key in determining whether the Southbury Public Library's basement can be used again for a book sale. Chris Gardner Republican-American
SOUTHBURY — The ability to use the library's basement for a book sale in two months hinges on the results of a meeting between a representative of the town's insurer and the fire marshal.
The chairman of a committee that is clarifying use of the 20,000-square-foot basement hopes the meeting will take place next week.

In Martin Scorsese's Wolf of Wall Street, Naomi Belfort — as played by Margot Robbie — is a drop-dead gorgeous model who caught Jordan Belfort's eye while he was married to his first wife. In real life, the only difference is that "Naomi Belfort" is actually "Nadine Belfort."
During her modeling career, Nadine Belfort (née Nadine Caridi) was best-known as a Miller Lite girl. She appeared in a number of ads, including these Monday Night Football commercials from 1990…
When Nadine married Jordan in the early 1990s, her work as a model ended and her work as a socialite began. (Although Jordan called her the Duchess of Ray Ridge, Nadine doesn't have aristocratic roots.) The transition was ceremoniously marked with the purchase of a yacht that was originally owned by Coco Chanel and renamed after Nadine.
Minor spoiler alert…
Just as Wolf of Wall Street shows, Jordan and Nadine's marriage was largely unhappy. Not only was Jordan habitually doing drugs and prostitutes, but he was also busted for major financial crimes. (We detailed his charges in a previous post.) As Jordan told The Telegraph in 2008, the Belforts' relationship bottomed out after he kicked her down the stairs, put his 3-year-old daughter in the car and got into a driveway accident in the late 1990s. After that, Jordan went to rehab and Nadine went to divorce lawyers.
Amazingly, Jordan claims he and Nadine have a solid friendship these days. As of his 2008 interview with The Telegraph, the former spouses were living miles apart in California and co-parenting their two children.

Dr. Steven Cohen Invites you to Participate in 2009 Survey of Leadership and American Jewish Life
American Jewish leaders have been changing – but we don't exactly know how. We think that leaders in their 20s and 30s are different from those in their 50s and 60s. And we imagine that the Boomers today differ from the Boomers two or three decades ago.
Leaders may vary in their hopes and fears; in the issues that capture their interest, and that drive them to act; and in the ways in which they see Jews, Judaism, and the world. They may differ in terms of their life experiences that have led them to be who they are today.
To explore these issues, concerns that are critical to policy makers, philanthropists, and the Jewish public Dr. Steven M. Cohen invites you to participate in, "The 2009 Survey of Leadership and American Jewish Life." Whether you see yourself as a "Jewish leader" or not, and however old or young you may be, he'd like you to participate.
The survey is part of a larger effort to explore these and related issues, entitled, "The 2009 Avi Chai Study of American Jewish Leaders." That effort draws upon the talents of six social scientists – younger and older, throughout the US – led by Prof. Jack Wertheimer, with a grant from the Avi Chai Foundation.
You'll find that this survey is unlike any you've taken before, certainly any you've taken on Jewish matters. Some fairly complex issues are raised in ways that are both clearly articulated and genuinely stimulating.
How long will the survey take to complete? You'll get through the bulk of the questionnaire and arrive at the Demographics section within 15 minutes. If you're willing and able to continue, we have 5-7 minutes of additional questions, after Demographics. Of course, you are free to stop at any time, but please complete as much of the survey as possible.
Your answers will be treated confidentially, but not anonymously. Your identity or individual answers will not be shared with anybody, even though your email is part of your reply. The compiled results of the survey will be shared with you as soon as they are ready for distribution. Should you have any comments, write directly to: email@example.com .
