There's a really interesting and effective manifesting tip that will accelerate your ability to manifest anything you want. It's in the form of a question – literally, asking your mind, "how did I achieve this?" This approach really gets your creativity going because it's a backwards approach. Normally, we approach manifesting from a "here I am now and this is what I want" point of view. That's why manifesting seems so hard – and why goals can seem overwhelming! We …

Manifesting is something thought of as magic and "woo-woo" by anyone who has grown up believing that hard work, perseverance and sacrifice are the only ways to get what you want. Many manifesting instructions lean heavily on the spiritual elements of bringing what you want into your physical reality. These include goal-setting, visualization, positive thinking and affirmations. If you read books like "The Secret" you might think that that's all there is to it, and then when it doesn't work, …

Have you noticed that when you look backwards, your happiness often goes down? Sure, we all love to reminisce about past good times, but most of the time, when we think about the past, we are thinking about what went wrong and we wish we could go back and do things differently. We ruminate on the past, and it's not good. Ruminating on the past is like being stuck in an infinite loop of regret, shame, pain and other negative …

Mageia Blog (English) : Solid and strong and humming along – here's Mageia 5!19 de Junho de 2015 - 0sem comentários ainda
After more than one year of development, the Mageia community is very proud to finally deliver this long-awaited release, Mageia 5. This release announcement is a big sigh of relief, an "At last!" that comes straight from the heart of the weary – tired as one can be after long days of hard but rewarding work.
And still, we chose to take our time to fix major issues and have a high quality release, without rushing it. Maybe our best release so far, taking into account the impressive work that was done on the installer, both to add new features and to get rid of old bugs.
If our "At last!" also echoes in you after months of waiting for this release, go grab it right now! While it downloads, feel free to read on and learn more about Mageia 5:
What's new in Mageia 5
The main spotlight of Mageia 5 is the support of UEFI systems. If you are not familiar with the term, feel free to check our detailed article about it. In a few words, let's say that most systems with recent hardware (3 years old or newer) are equipped with UEFI, so in order for our users to be able to install Mageia 5 easily on recent hardware, UEFI support was a must.
Implementing support for UEFI boot and the partitioning changes that are inherent to this new technology meant making lots of changes in our installer. It was done incrementally, fixing bugs as they showed up, and discovering new and old issues along the way. We were lucky to have a very dedicated team of QA testers for this release, and they fiddled with the installer to try to find its shortcomings on the most exotic settings. All in all, those tests spawned many fixes and new features in our installer on top of the new UEFI support: RAID support, GRUB 2 integration, changes to the partitioner…
Of course this new release is not only about the installer changes; all packages have been updated, and we did a lot of work to ensure that all packages built fine against the new toolchain in Mageia 5. Among others, you will find:
- Low-level: Kernel 3.19.8, X.org 1.16.4
- Toolkits: Qt 5.4.0, GTK+ 3.14.8
- Desktop environments: KDE 4.14.3, GNOME 3.14, Cinnamon 2.4.5, MATE 1.8.0, XFCE 4.12, LXQt 0.9.0, Plasma 5.1.2
- Applications: LibreOffice 22.214.171.124, Firefox ESR 31.7.0 (will soon be updated to Firefox ESR 38.x)
Feel free to browse Mageia App DB's comparison page (applications only and all updated packages) to see the differences between Mageia 4 and Mageia 5. All in all, Mageia 5 contains almost 2,000 applications and 25,000 packages, all available from the official repositories.
Why choose Mageia
One word: community. Mageia is a top-notch Linux distribution entirely made by and for its community. No strings attached, no company behind it, only users who have a great time developing the distribution that they use daily, at home or at work. And as a Mageia user, you are part of this rewarding experience, and you can contribute in many different ways to make it yours.
Mageia is shaped for its users, and is therefore suitable in any environment: work, home, servers, leisure. Everything is supported directly by the community through the official repositories, out of the box. Mageia has always striven to offer a universal usage experience across a large set of desktop environments, integrated with some of the best control and administration tools available.
The Mageia 5 look
As always for the artwork, we called for contributions from the community and we received high quality proposals. We chose the starry night painted by Robert Gormly, but you'll also find many additional wallpapers and screensavers that we selected from the community contributions.
A special thanks
This release would not have been possible without the support of our whole community, so this is a thank you from everyone to the sysadmins, the QA and security teams, the documentation team, the atelier team and the translators, the packagers, the bug triagers and the developers, and finally, everyone else for their feedback and support on forums, mailing lists, and IRC channels, as well as their bug reports and donations.
Have fun with Mageia 5!

Mageia Blog (English) : Waiting for Mageia 5: Spotlight on UEFI support30 de Maio de 2015 - 0sem comentários ainda
This article is addressed to users with some technical background. Summary for the non-techie: Mageia 5 supports UEFI, which means it's now easier to install it on recent hardware. Bottom line: after the initial installation, which might be a little different (see below), UEFI really shouldn't trouble you.
What's UEFI?
UEFI has been around for a few years now, previously called EFI. It is a completely new and different firmware for booting 64 bit PC and replaced the old BIOS firmwares. It brings improvements over old BIOS, but it's mainly known in the Linux community for rendering the installation of Linux systems more difficult on computers bought with a preinstalled system:
- because it necessitated development to support it;
- because of a security feature called Secure Boot, which refuses to boot any bootloader that is not signed with an official signing key;
- because it's not always obvious how to boot to a DVD or an USB key (it depends on the firmware, whether Secure Boot is active, whether Fast Startup is active, etc.)
UEFI systems also use a new (to PCs) partitioning format called GPT, with a special EFI System Partition (ESP) which contains the bootloaders.
The references at the end offer fuller explanations.
Mageia and UEFI
With Mageia 4, in order to install to a system with UEFI you had two solutions:
- activate legacy BIOS compatibility mode, aka Compatibility Support Module or CSM,
- or follow manual instructions from our wiki, involving command line instructions to run as root during installation. Doable but not easy.
Mageia's installers are now fully UEFI aware, so you can install easily along with other pre-existing systems.
What about Secure Boot?
First of all, Secure Boot is not UEFI. UEFI is the firmware, Secure Boot is one of the features among others. However, most pre-installed computers come with Secure Boot activated, which prevents users from booting any other system or installation medium. In order to install Mageia, you need to deactivate it in your firmware's configuration. In order to manage to get to the configuration, see in your computer's documentation how to proceed. There are lots of resources on the internet covering that subject. As of today, all manufacturers have an obligation to provide a way to disable secure boot.
Installing Mageia on an UEFI system
Both the Live and Classic images can be installed on UEFI hardware, but not the Dual arch ISO. Depending on your hardware or preference, just burn the 64 bit ISO image to DVD, or dump it to an USB flash drive. Existing Mageia users can use IsoDumper for this (install isodumper from the software center). For others, check this procedure. See also our dedicated wiki page. Then boot your computer from the prepared medium.
Booting the Classic installer on a UEFI system currently offers menu choices dependent on the boot medium: you need to choose the appropriate boot menu entry whether you're installing from DVD or USB; this is not necessary for the Live installers. Once launched, there is no difference from non-UEFI for Live usage. Installation differs very slightly in needing to create or use an existing EFI System Partition (ESP) and mount it on /boot/EFI, and there is no choice of bootloader which is automatically Grub2 (grub2-efi). The preparation and deployment of Mageia installation media for UEFI systems is fully covered in our wiki.
Resources about UEFI:
If you are curious to know more, Adam Williamson wrote a good introduction to UEFI; there is also some information about it on our wiki page.
What about upgrade from Mageia 4?
It is not supported to upgrade an instance of Mageia 4 that had been installed in non-UEFI mode towards a Mageia 5 in UEFI mode.
Upgrading from an UEFI Mageia 4 to UEFI Mageia 5 is supported (as well as from non-UEFI Mageia 4 to non-UEFI Mageia 5 of course).
Mageia 5 is almost there, stay tuned!
Mageia Blog (English) : All things come to those who wait26 de Abril de 2015 - 0sem comentários ainda
And we've all waited long enough for Mageia 5 RC: go grab it!
While you wait for the download to complete, all restless and eager that you are to try this new release, let's talk a bit about this release candidate: what can you expect of it, and why did it take so long?
UEFI support – for real
Mageia's developers have been hard at work during this release cycle to add UEFI support to our installer, while the QA contributors were thoroughly testing everything that they could on their hardware. We are now proud to announce that you can install Mageia on UEFI systems fairly easily, using either our Live media or the classical installer (except from the DualDVD which does not support UEFI).
This is now the trial by fire for the main feature of Mageia 5: if you have a UEFI system, please try this release candidate in as many configurations as possible (dual boot with Windows or with other Linux distributions, etc.). And then please report any bug that you may encounter; we managed to get rid of most of the bugs noticed during this long pre-release testing, but our QA testers have relatively limited hardware resources.
Spring cleaning in the installer
Though it's probably the most awaited feature, UEFI support is not the only improvement that was made in our installer, DrakX. The intensive testing done by the QA team over the last months brought a good deal of long-standing bugs to light, and a lot of work has been poured into fixing these issues: RAID support, GRUB 2 integration, graphical issues linked to GTK+ 3 evolutions, more logging and debugging features for urpmi and the installer… you name it!
For instance, we improved the default partitioning features to better reflect the needs of our users: the ready-made options to "erase and use the entire disk" or "use the free space" will now create a bigger root partition (up to 50 GB if you have a ton of free space, against 12 GB in previous releases). The "use free space on a Windows partition" option will also be less shy of using free space on NTFS partitions, letting you have a comfortable root partition if you want to install several desktop environments or some of the nice open source games shipped with Mageia 5.
Our most tested release so far
With over two months of development and testing, this release candidate is our most tested release so far, and we do hope that it will make Mageia 5 our most stable and mature release. The freeze period has been longer than anticipated, so you won't find the most recent packages such as Kernel 4.0; on the other hand we are pretty confident that we have reached a good compromise between being cutting-edge and stable. Our packagers kept working on providing important bugfix releases and security fixes, while trying to make sure not to add any avoidable regression, and all in all Mageia 5 should satisfy both casual and power users.
An impressive team work between the devs and the QA testers
The testing period for this release candidate was like an endless game of table tennis, with developers on one side working hard on fixing release critical issues, and ISO testers on the other side, always running into new (and old) issues and making sure that the bug fixes were effective. A big thanks to all those involved in this tiring but rewarding testing period; we definitely set a new record with 9 rounds of RC ISOs tested over two months!
Special kudos to our QA team, and especially its newest members who joined during the Mageia 5 release cycle, for managing to keep testing update candidates for Mageia 4 while working on the RC ISOs.
Now it's your turn
With so much development done between our 3rd beta and this release candidate, there is a lot to test and we need as much hardware covered as possible, especially to test UEFI support and other installer changes. So grab your copy, prepare your booting device and get started with Mageia 5 RC! Please have a look at the errata too, since there are already known issues that we couldn't fix yet, and report any bug that affects you and that you can't find in the errata or our Bugzilla.
Liberdade na Fronteira : Cantor in KDE Applications 15.0426 de Abril de 2015 - 0sem comentários ainda
KDE Applications 15.04 release brings a new version of the scientific programming software Cantor, with a lot of news. I am specially happy with this release because I worked in several parts of these new features. =)
Come with me™ and let's see what is new in Cantor.
Cantor ported to Qt5/KF5
Cantor Qt5/KF5 + Breeze theme. In the image it is possible to see the terminal/worksheet, variable management panel, syntax highlighting, code completion, and the standard interface
I started the Cantor port to Qt5/KF5 during previous LaKademy and I continued the development along the year. Maybe I had pushed code from 5 different countries since the beginning of this work.
The change for this new technology was successfully completed, and for the moment we don't notice any feature missed or new critical bug. All the backends and plugins were ported, and some new bugs created during this work were fixed.
We would like to ask for Cantor users to report any problem or bug in bugzilla. Anyway, the software is really very stable.
When you run Cantor Qt5/KF5 version on the first time, the software will look for Cantor Qt4 configurations and, if it exists, the configurations will be automagically migrated to Cantor Qt5/KF5.
Backend for Python 3
In Season of KDE 2014 I was the mentor of Minh Ngo in the project to create a backend for Python 3, increasing the number of backends in Cantor to 10!
The backend developed by Minh uses D-Bus protocol to allow communication between Cantor and Python 3. This architecture is different of Python 2, but it is present in others backends, as in the backend for R.
The cool thing is Cantor can be interesting for pythonistas using Python 2 and/or Python 3 now. We would like to get feedback from you, guys!
Cantor first release was originally in 2009, with KDE SC 4.4. Since that date the software did not have an icon.
The Cantor Qt5/KF5 release marks a substantial change in the development of the application, then it is also a good time to release an icon to the software.
The art is excellent! It presents the idea of Cantor: a blackboard to you write and develop your equations and formulas while scratches his head and think "and now, what I need to do to solve it?". =)
Thank you Andreas Kainz and Uri Herrera, members of VDG team and authors of Cantor icon!
Other changes and bug fixes
Most bugs added in the Qt5/KF5 port were fixed before the release.
There are some small changes to be cited: in KNewStuff categories world, "Python2″ category was changed to "Python 2″ and "Python 3″ category was added; the automatic loading of pylab module in Python backends was dropped; now it is possible to run Python commands mixed with comments in the worksheet; and more.
You can see a complete log of commits, bugfixes, and new features added in this release in this page.
Future works
As future work maybe the high-priority for this moment is to drop KDELibs4Support from Cantor. Lucas developed part of this work and we would like to finish it for the next release.
I intend to test if D-Bus communication can be a good solution for Scilab backend. Another task is to redesign the graphical generation assistants of Python backends. A long-term work is to follow the creation of Jupyter project, the future of IPython notebooks. If Cantor can to be compatible with Jupyter, it will be really nice for users and to encourage the collaboration between different communities interested in scientific programming and open science.
I will take advantage of the Cantor Qt5/KF5 release to write about how to use Cantor in two different ways: the Matlab way and the IPython notebooks way. Keep your eyes in the updates from this blog! =)
If you would like to help in Cantor development, please contact me or mail kde-edu maillist and let's talk about bug fixes, development of new features, and more.
Donations to KDE Brasil – LaKademy 2015!
If you would like to support my work, please make a donation to KDE Brasil. We will host the KDE Latin-American Summit – LaKademy and we need some money to put some latin-american contributors to work together face-to-face. I will focus my LaKademy work in the previously mentioned future works.
You can read more about LaKademy in this dot.KDE history. This page in English explain how to donate. There is other page with the same content in Spanish.

In a few weeks or so I'm planning on putting thin stone veneer over my existing brick (long bricks) fireplace. Only roughly 18 sq ft worth of stone as I'm only going up to the mantel. Now the bricks are not red as it appears a prior owner painted them grey. The paint is not glossy at all and they are not smooth. My question is, do I need to put a metal lath over the brick before a scratch coat, or do you think I can put a scratch coat directly onto the painted brick? As I mentioned, I originally thought it was a grey stone b/c I had never seen long bricks, but then I looked underneath the mantel and saw the red. Oh and I plan on using: Quikrete Polymer Modified Veneer Stone Mortar (No. 1137). Here's a horrible picture of how the brick looks:
Thin Stone Veneer

In a few weeks or so I'm planning on putting thin stone veneer over my existing brick (long bricks) fireplace. Only roughly 18 sq ft worth of stone as I'm only going up to the mantel. Now the bricks are not red as it appears a prior owner painted them grey. The paint is not glossy at all and they are not smooth. My question is, do I need to put a metal lath over the brick before a scratch coat, or do you think I can put a scratch coat directly onto the painted brick?

Oh and I plan on using: Quikrete Polymer Modified Veneer Stone Mortar (No. 1137). Here's a horrible picture of how the brick looks:
Posted April 14 2011 - 7:57 PM
When I Google the name you provided, I get the following information from the manufacturer;
QUIKRETE® Veneer Stone Mortar – Polymer Modified (PM) can be
used as a bond coat, scratch and brown coat and as a mortar joint
grout over concrete and masonry surfaces or galvanized, expanded
metal lath. QUIKRETE® Veneer Stone Mortar can also be
manufactured with integral color for mortar joint applications or by
adding QUIKRETE® Stucco and Mortar Color (No. 1319), available in
20 standard colors.
Application Instructions
The application of Veneer Stone Mortar is intended for use over
galvanized diamond-mesh metal lath (2.5 or 3.4 lbs per sq.yd., 1.4-
1.8 kg/m2) and two layers of grade D water resistant building paper or
over solid bases such as masonry, stone, cast-in-place or pre-cast
concrete. Installation over these surfaces shall be in accordance with
ASTM C 926 or local governing building codes.
Concrete & Masonry Surface Preparation
Prior to application over unpainted and unsealed concrete and
masonry surfaces, all loose material, dirt, dust, grease and
efflorescence must be removed. Paint and sealers must be
completely removed or galvanized metal lath and grade D building
paper must be secured over the surface.
Dampen the concrete, masonry or scratch coat substrate with a fine
spray of water, but do not soak. Use a trowel to apply a ½†(13 mm)
mortar base of Veneer Stone Mortar or completely cover the back of
the veneer stone with ½†(13 mm) of mortar. Stone must be set within
30 minutes of applying mortar bed. Press the veneer stone firmly into
the mortar bed in a twisting motion. Joints between stones should be
a consistent ½†(13 mm) or less.
In the pink section, it says; if you don't strip the paint from the bricks, you need to put up Grade D building paper and fasten Galvanized metal lath to the surface.
It does not say skip removing the paint, and skip installing the metal lath.
How do you plan to secure the building paper and lath to your bricks, so you can install your veneer stone properly?
Posted April 15 2011 - 3:52 PM
Thoroseal Thorobond. Apply as directed. Rich mortar mix scratch coat. Rich=less sand,more mortar. Not real wet either. Wouldn't hurt to scale paint before applying Thorobond. There are similar bonding agents on the market. Thorobond is the best.
Posted April 17 2011 - 7:02 PM
@Longcaster - I do not need building paper as it is not going against a wood backer, it is existing interior brick, thus at the most I will only need to attach some metal lath to the existing brick, which I would attach with concrete screws into the mortar between the bricks and not the bricks themselves. I did read the MSDS sheets on the product and I appreciate you pasting the info above, but I guess I just figured that "painted" surfaces implied shiny, glossy smooth cinderblock and not this rough brick texture, so that is why I was asking. I guess no one can give a good answer without looking at the actual brick.
@float finish - I have not googled that product yet but is it a "binding agent" that I add to the Quikrete mortar mix to strengthen the bond? This stone veneer I think only weighs around 10lbs / sq feet and its only going about 4 feet high so it wont have much weight on it, so that is why I was hoping I might be able to skip the metal lath. But I Might just go the metal lath route just so I dont kick myself in the long run for not doing it up front...or I'll take a wire brush to the brick first, wash (wait for it to dry), then apply mortar scratch coat.... OH the decisions.
Posted April 19 2011 - 6:11 AM
Thorobond is brushed onto substrate. 2 coats for that application. Lathe would also work but you are going to want to shoot nails into mortar joints which will probably bubble lathe as nail drives lathe deeper than surface of brick. Build a platform under bottom of area to receive stone. Piece of plywood on floor,measure and snap lines to replicate area to receive stone veneer. Fit and cut stones dry on plywood. Then mix mortar and start.
I don't need to do that,but I am a pro. If you choose lathe there is a up and down on lathe. Or you can use small diameter hammer drill bit and use regular masonry nails thru lathe into mortar joints. Kinda like a small pilot hole. If I tell you any more of my tricks I am gonna have to send you a bill.

If the paint is well bonded, clean the brick with "liquid sandpaper" and use a high quality, no sag, modified thinset. Let cure for 48 hours before grouting.
Laticrete makes several suitable mortars.
Posted April 19 2011 - 12:14 PM
Thanks. I think i'm gonna go without the lath. Also this will be drystack so no grouting
Posted April 19 2011 - 9:22 PM
Big Willy, the instruction said both building paper & lath over painted brick.
It did not discuss what the brick was painted with, just painted brick.
To do the best job, use paint stripper and a wire brush and get as much of the paint off the bricks.
What that will do is open up the small holes in the brick so your mortar/cement will stick better. Cementing and screwing the lath to the brick will give you the best job.
Not cleaning the paint off the brick means the cement will not stick to the brick. Because the cement won't stick putting building paper & metal lath up anchored to spec will also give you a firm surface to use to hold the stone veneer.
You are so close to doing the job the way the manufacturer recommends. Good luck
Posted April 21 2011 - 7:22 AM
You guys are mind fn this little job to death.
I had to jump in bfor i fell out of my chair.
Take a grinder with a diamond wheel..and a vacuum..
Simply cut some scratches into the paint with it.Get a good latex modified thinset.The most expensive one at the depot type stores has the most good stuff in it .It should stick to the paint on it's own...I would scratch it up with the grinder to be sure..Coat ( flat trowel) the brick with it.Mix it thick so it does not droop out of the brick joints This is fun on the shoulder..,..Let it dry and stone any bumps down.Install the thin brick with same thinset..If I had to do it in one day I might omit the flat trowel coating part..
The problem with tar paper an wire is it will be hard to get the wire tight on that small stone surface..Tappy hollow mud is not good.If you wanna add the wire a bonding agent applied to the stone with no tar paper might be better.This is not a good method for large area's..But it is more that fine for this fireplace..You could also add the wire and coat it with the mentioned thinset.
You could also just thinset and nail some hardibacker on there.Use the 1/2".. the 1/4" might crumble on ya..Setting the stones with the same thinset.It will dry up fast for ya an they might even hang without drooping..
They just did the facade of a DD by me like this..With the same stones.
The problem with building it out with any product is the space you will get on the inside corners of the firebox if you don't wrap the stone around the corner.
Plus it is all overcooking the bird in my opinion.I hate a over cooked bird..Dry and lacking in taste..
and the Rats will beat a path to your Door..

Data transfer latency: Tackling problems related to "people systems"
Last week, the creators of Alpha Anywhere hosted a user meetup to talk about mobile application development – specifically, tablet applications for use in the field and workplace. One of the major pain points discussed was the issue of moving data from user to user across systems in real time in order to achieve the fastest business results.
While some may refer to this as the "latency" problem, Britt Whitaker, implementation consultant at Manufacturers ERP Services LLC, notes that it's worthwhile to distinguish technology-based latency issues and "workflow-related" latency issues. He claims that within their own organization, even though their APIs are reconstructed to optimize the transfer of data, "it doesn't really solve the problem: the data got in, but it wasn't reacted to in real time."
According to Whitaker, this issue is directly tied to how one has constructed their "workflow link" – the method by which applications alert users that new data has arrived on their tablet or that data they've sent has been received. Not only does IT have to worry about how long it takes that data to continue to the next user, but also how quickly is that data processed by the next user in line.
So how did Whitaker and his team tackle this issue? Ultimately, they decided that they were not going to try to develop workflow inherently in an interactive tablet application, but rather would actually construct unique workflow links for individual types of data and applications. To illustrate this point, he provided an example where if one specific user – let's call her "Britta" – is not in the office, another user, "Alan," would act as proxy.
"Those are things that, frankly, you don't want to code into the application itself because people and their roles change – which is, again, a workflow issue."
The point is, while your APIs may be designed to streamline the flow of data, IT will always have to consider the "people" factor. The solutions to these issues may not always be obvious, especially when people-based processes and roles often change at a rate much faster than IT can appropriately amend their "hardwired" applications.
"Companies should develop tablet apps to eliminate the delay in collecting field data compared to using paper forms, but that isn't a complete solution," says Adam Green of 140dev. "We have to change the systems – the 'people systems.' Just getting the data there is not enough."
Have you struggled with latency issues related to "people systems" within your own organization? If so, how did you deal with it, or how do you plan to deal with it? Let us know with your comments.
The I in BPMBPM, cloud, Hybrid cloud, iBPM, SOA
Something old, business process management, has been made new again by the addition of a lowercase i. This three-part guide shows how and why adding cloud services and analytics to BPM will make it intelligent BPM, a must-have technology for many businesses. Why? iBPM promises to smooth business process workflow in hybrid computing settings where business logic and data run across many platforms.
Veteran IT reporters Christine Parizo and George Lawton explore the evolution of iBPM and its many uses for businesses. Parizo explains why iBPM is poised for widespread adoption and describes how it's already being used. Lawton looks into iBPM's backstory and many vendors' plans for iBPM products.
Intelligent BPM adds data analytics and workflow collaboration capabilities to BPM's traditional process workflow management system, say IT veterans in Parizo's article on what is driving iBPM adoption. By bringing together various forms of intelligence capabilities, iBPM facilitates easier business process design, monitoring, analysis, execution and optimization.
As iBPM, BPM rises from the hype ashes, where it resided with SOA for a spell, say industry watchers in George Lawton's article on the emergence of new cloud iBPM products. As recently as last year, IT pundits proclaimed that both SOA and BPM would be killed off by cloud. Instead, both technologies are viable today because they leverage services in business, on-premises, cloud and hybrid cloud environments to support business needs.
Finally, i buyers beware. That lowercase i is a popular way to hype a technology enhancement, but the i can stand for many things. The fad kicked into warp drive with Apple's iMac, or Internet Mac, and has continued to thrive even though Internet connectivity is ubiquitous across devices today. The little i stands for intelligent in iBPM, for integration in iPaaS or IBM's iSeries, for invisible in iMail and so on. The fad won't stop, even though iWant it to.
Dig into these IOT development tipsAPI, API management, Application security, Internet of Things, iot, Software security
IoT is the latest thing in embedded systems technology, and it's not a fad. IT research firm Gartner Inc. projects installation of 26 billion IoT units by 2020, resulting in $1.8 trillion in revenue. IoT is not a consumer-only technology, either. Enterprise architects should plan now for the entrance of connected device technologies into their IT environments, according to experts quoted in SearchSOA's feature, "The enterprise IoT wave rolls in: How to prepare". Those who hesitate will soon be behind the curve. "It's not a matter of where IoT is entering but where isn't IoT going to push into the enterprise," said Mike Walker, an analyst at Gartner, in this article.
In recent articles, SearchSOA contributors have provided a wealth of security tips and tricks for IoT development. This post links to those pieces, putting experts' and users' advice at your fingertips.
Developing IoT applications will require rethinking quality standards when building embedded and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. For example, enterprise executives release flawed software daily, a developer told me recently, in order to compare the cost of defects with the cost of delaying release. That luxury isn't an option in these types of software releases, where failure and security breaches can put user safety at risk. That approach won't work with IoT.
Failure is much less acceptable when it comes to embedded software. Unfortunately, people expect software and networks to fail or get hacked. Their expectations for mechanical devices are much higher, however. "You shouldn't have to worry about a blue screen of death on your toaster oven," said Carnegie Mellon University's Philip Koopman, in the lead story of SearchSOA's three-article handbook, "Embedded software, IOT development demand careful scrutiny".
Likewise, people shouldn't have to worry about a software hacker turning off his auto-ignition system. Billions of connected devices present a big target, so we've gathered advice on creating hack-breaking IoT approaches in this article, "How to cook up the right IoT security strategy for your enterprise". A huge challenge in beating hackers is that IoT devices bypass firewalls and create ongoing connections to third party services, reported IT security consultant Mark Stanislav, Sr. of Rapid7. In this tip, he and other experts give advice on how to create outside-the-firewall security strategies.
Our sister site, SearchCloudApps, digs into the cloud side of IoT development. Asked how IoT will alter developers' application strategies, resident expert Chris Moyer pointed to integration as a challenge. A sample of Moyer's advice here is: "If you create APIs and integrate with popular IoT integration services like IFTTT, you'll be better able to take advantage of all the devices in a user's life."
Watch SearchCloudApps for updates on cloud services and tools for IoT development and deployment, too. A recent report describes a new mobile and IoT application development toolset from Embarcadero, called RAD Studio XE8.

Cloud adoption puts need for DevOps in overdriveApplication development, Cloud Computing, DevOps
Has DevOps adoption hit the mainstream? Well, IT analyst firm Gartner Inc. predicts that 66% of enterprises will be using DevOps tools and practices in the cloud – as will 25% of Global 2000 companies – by 2016. Gartner also expects sales of DevOps tools to reach $2.3 billion this year. That doesn't look like a niche market.
First posited in 2009, the concept entails merging organizations' software development, QA and IT operations groups. Cloud computing is driving the need for DevOps adoption by enabling faster development and deployment of applications and complicating what was once a simple housebound IT environment, according to Gartner's and other reports such as 451 Research's 2014 study.
Need drives the decision to find a solution, but evaluation leads to the purchase. To help IT and Ops managers make DevOps decisions, TechTarget's app dev sites have published a slew of expert advice articles on that subject. Here are just a few:
- Cloud consultant Tom Nolle explores how cloud management tools are both influencing and incorporating traditional DevOps features in "The evolution of DevOps in the cloud". In this advice article, he surveys some current cloud DevOps tools, such as Puppet, and explains the benefits of using frameworks and specifications. In the latter category, he recommends evaluating TOSCA (Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications), an open standard which facilitates describing complex application structures.
- Let's not forget mobile development. The SearchSOA article "Integration tools that bridge the mobile DevOps gap" examines how enterprises are using mobile DevOps integration tools services, such as PagerDuty, BigPanda and VictorOps. Here, you'll find out how eHarmony used PagerDuty to streamline IaaS alerts.
- SearchAWS offers a handbook on DevOps called "Survive and thrive in cloud DevOps". Even though DevOps adoption is on the rise, managers of siloed IT, operations and business departments may be hard to sell on the concept. This collection includes:
- Advice on pitching DevOps to department managers in the article "Gaining acceptance for DevOps in the cloud".
- Various approaches for using AWS OpsWorks, a DevOps automation and management toolset, to enhance application security in "Using OpWorks' configuration automation". Here, expert Dan Sullivan examines the toolset's uses for improving app security and reducing app policy and procedure missteps. The key is using OpWork's standardized configuration options. "Automating configuration and update operations with OpsWorks can eliminate inconsistencies in application policies and procedures," he writes.
- An explanation of why and how to implement security operations management in AWS by contributor George Lawton. The SecOps approach calls for continuous threat testing and monitoring in a secure software development lifecycle practice. The article describes several tools that automate those functions in AWS environments and shares steps for removing vulnerabilities during the application design phase.
Stay tuned – there are more DevOps tips to come! Meanwhile, let us know if there are DevOps challenges you'd like addressed by SearchSOA's resident experts.
Developing apps for space scientists calls for automationapp technical features, Application development, Cloud-Based Services, Data access, Data analysis, Data Analytics, Data management and storage, Software testing
A photograph from a Mars Rover may be breathtaking, but it will not deliver the complex data space scientists seek. Scientists like Washington University-St. Louis computer systems manager Thomas Stein need broader sets of data in formats that work with modern data analysis software. Stein helped create Analyst's Notebook, a tool that documents geological findings from space missions and organizes that data in an online offering that is made accessible to scientists and the public.
Look at the data coming from just one instrument, say, the Mars Rover Opportunity. Some scientists are focused on a certain type of data from that one instrument, some on others. Meanwhile, said Stein, the general science community may want broader data from that instrument to do research in other disciplines. In addition, many scientists are doing cross-instrument and cross-mission searches and correlations to study a variety of topics.
"Today's scientists cannot simply convert an image to a .JPG and use it, because you lose so much of the science quality of the data," said Stein, who works in the University's Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences. Analyst's Notebook helped enable replay and archiving mission images and data, but that information must still be archived in formats accessible to scientists using many different software applications and devices.
Stein's group works with NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to archive planetary data for the long term – as in the next 50 to 100 years. "We wanted to develop a value-added tool that helps scientists bind this data in a meaningful way," said Stein. "By giving them data previews, we'd help them understand what they're getting before they actually hit the download button."
Developing software for geological studies of space rocks wasn't Stein's intention when he got an after-college job in in the Smithsonian Institution's Mineral Sciences Department. Yet, it was there that he was asked to develop software for a traveling exhibit on volcanoes. The success of the three applications he delivered led to more projects for the Smithsonian.
After achieving success in these geological software projects, Washington University contacted Stein about programming software for scientists studying "space rock" data from the Giant Magellan Telescope. The immediate problem Stein addressed was a flaw in the way scientists were doing field-testing. "Nobody was taking notes about the decision-making process," he said. "After a week of field-tests, they realized, 'Hey, we don't even remember why did we decided to look at this rock instead of that rock.'"
Of the many challenges for building scientific applications, two in particular really perplexed Stein and the NASA team: unpredictability of data from Rovers and feature glut.
For an orbital mission, an obvious objective is to map the planet systematically, but the Rovers don't make this process easy, because they, well, rove. "Scientists often don't know where the rover will drive and what it's going to find," said Stein. Another goal is determining the characteristics of natural objects, such as rocks. The scientists need to know where and in what context, which is hard to tell from an image. To deal with this problem, the development team used Microsoft Image Composite Editor, which was built on Microsoft SQL Server. The Editor can be used to create images that aggregate the surroundings of a finding in context mosaic image.
The feature glut issue comes from the length of today's space missions. "Keeping up with what our users need over 10-15 years is unbelievably hard," Stein said. "Think of how different the expectations of software users were 15 years ago – nobody asked for one-click ordering online."
The development team, focused on Opportunity and other NASA Rovers, sought an automated development platform that set up the back end so they could devote more time to building value-added tools specific to planetary data coming from Rovers. "We shouldn't be building basic code, laboring over documentation and doing cross-platform testing," he said. Telerik Platform, a cross-platform development suite, was chosen to help the software teams focus on high-level challenges and bypass earlier phases of software development.
A web-based application running on the Microsoft ASP.NET platform, Telerik Platform provides a user interface (UI) that NASA uses for framework controls. In addition, Telerik's automated test and quality assurance tools reduce the time needed to build a feature. An example is a documentation feature Stein's team built that enables rapid online searches. "Documentation becomes very difficult when doing rapid application development and dealing with such huge sets of data," he said. Telerik's toolset helped him build a feature that enables a user looking for images of a certain target find it quickly online "at the push of a button, instead of the user having to do literature searches."
Being able to react quickly to user needs is a necessity today, one that automated test and development platforms makes possible. "In reality, I'm still not a computer scientist, I'm a geologist," he said. "A foundation development tool really helps me not worry so much about the computer science side and focus on the science side."
Application modernization is a top priority worldwide in 2015Application modernization, Legacy applications, Legacy modernization
Any organization NOT doing an application modernization project this year is in the minority. Over 70% of businesses worldwide are modernizing their application environments to handle mobile, cloud and other emerging digital platforms in 2015, according to a recent survey.
Not only are most businesses engaging in application modernization (also called legacy application modernization) efforts, at least 61% consider it a strategic asset to drive business forward and a tool to help maintain market position and even survival. This is according to a recent survey of CIOs by app modernization vendor CSC.p
Application modernization projects will be a higher priority for businesses in Europe (80%) and Asia (73%) in 2015, largely because the technology refresh cycles have been slower in those areas than in North America, where 55% will invest this year.
A challenge in tallying application modernization projects is that they can be a part of larger projects, such as cloud modernization and portfolio modernization, both of which focus largely on app modernization. In some minds, the latter sounds old school, identified only with mainframe-to-server migrations, which are not irrelevant — as Moorcroft Debt Recovery Group's recent project affirms.
Of course, the rapid rise in business use of cloud services is driving many businesses worldwide to modernize their app portfolios; that and the fact that their competitors are doing the same. Likewise, the rise in workers' use of enterprise apps on mobile devices is exceeding IT's ability to support either.
This cloud rush encourages a "fools rush in" modernization mentality. The sober but savvy enterprise architect approaches modernization from more than the cloud apps angle. By examining their app portfolios and on-premise IT infrastructure, they're considering which applications should be re-platformed to hybrid or public cloud models. Which applications should be replaced by software as a service? Which strategic applications should be rewritten to take advantage of microservices architecture and platform as a service?
The complexity of modernizing applications and the importance and risk of these projects to business success is boggling. From my observations, the most successful projects started with intense application portfolio assessments. They choose app modernization products and services that are designed to be used in a systematic fashion and are flexible, the latter because every business will have different business needs, app portfolios and infrastructures.
There are many approaches to modernizing software, more than I can cover in this post. Fortunately, we've put together a library of articles on app modernization. Enjoy!
What will be big with SOA in 2015?Development, SOA, SOA and Web services
With 2014 coming to an end, we close the door on an eventful year. Technologies such as Hadoop, Docker and microservices made their way into our everyday lexicon. Some tried and true predictions held on for another year.
For example, in an interview with Forrester's principal analyst Brian Hopkins at the end of 2013 he asserted that mobile applications should make waves in 2014. "Everybody is suddenly realizing that the platform is not the differentiator, it's the apps," he said.
In many ways, Hopkins' prediction was correct. Over the course of the year, mobile application development proved to be important, especially in corporate environments. Several enterprise architects and developers shared with SearchSOA.com how they selected tools to help them gain an edge in the mobile sphere.
Indeed, it appears that mobile technology, big data and the Internet of Things, took the spotlight in 2014 – a position they will likely hold for quite some time. Some experts assert that SOA should have been right up there in the limelight too, but ended up in the wings. In an interview with Christine Parizo, 451 Research's Carl Lehman said, "SOA is a wallflower … It was brought to the dance, but it's not on the dance floor."
Poor SOA. Will 2015 be the year SOA is crowned king?
Given what some industry insiders recently said, it doesn't sound like SOA per se is going to be voted most popular — yet again. It appears that flashy mobile technology and the cloud will be most thought of, even though SOA may be the true underpinning of how everything is synched together.
Although the term mircorservices may be relatively new, some experts, like Gartner vice president and senior analyst Anne Thomas, believe it's going to become increasingly prevalent. "I think that a small number of people, maybe 10% of organizations, will start trying to play with microservices and bounded context during the next year," she said.
In fact, Thomas said she feels that microservices really is just SOA, but under a different name. So maybe SOA really will edge upwards in popularity, just under a different guise.
What are your SOA trend predictions for 2015? What do you think should have happened in 2014 that didn't?
JBoss middleware and OpenShift unite with xPaaS offeringscloud, JBoss, middleware, OpenShift, PaaS, Red Hat
Integrating applications deployed in traditional enterprises or data centers with those in the cloud is a common headache enterprise architects face. Red Hat recently released OpenShift Enterprise 2.2 and new cloud services, JBoss Fuse for xPaaS (integration) and JBoss A-MQ for xPaaS (messaging) to make it easier for developers to update applications and integration platforms.
The cloud-based messaging tools aim to speed-up application development, particularly in organizations with a hybrid IT architecture. With it, enterprise customers can use PaaS for applications running in their own data centers and private clouds, according to Joe Fernandes, OpenShift director of product management.
We've all heard the terms iPaaS, IaaS, and SaaS, but what the heck is xPaaS? In short, xPaaS is a term Red Hat coined for uniting various integration and application-centric tools under one offering. "A lot of traditional middleware solutions are becoming available as a service," noted Fernandes.
The new release of OpenShift Enterprise 2.2 with the addition of private iPaaS was done to help organizations with future development in mind. "It's not traditional 2005 architecture," said Pierre Fricke, director of product marketing for Red Hat JBoss Middleware. "It's a 2015 type of architecture for microservices with a center piece around Apache Camel."
Microservices are small, highly-distributed applications composed of logic and services that have to be connected and wired together, said Fernandes. "In many ways it's the new SOA."
Microservices were a hot topic at JavaOne 2014 this year. During that event, Java Champion and consultant Jeff Genender and developer Rob Terpilowski said that microservices offered a streamlined means of integrating cloud services.
Apache Camel brings standardized integration to the xPaaS offerings. "Camel actually implements the book that everyone uses, that makes it the closest thing to a standard for integration," said Fricke. "It's almost the de facto emerging standard for integration than anything else."
Bridging the gap between development and operations to support applications is really where xPaaS comes in to play, according to Fernandes. "As you get in to enterprise application, inherently they tend to be more complex than some of the applications you see on the consumer side running in the public cloud today," he said.
Some Fortune 1000 companies, such as statistic tools provider Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) have already leveraged this Red Hat technology, Fernandes said. He noted, however, that xPaaS can be used by SMBs who need to reduce the amount of times it takes to develop and deploy applications.
Do IT and business leaders need an attitude adjustment?Cloud adoption, Cloud Computing, Development
It's not uncommon for IT and business leaders to want to reap the benefits of having employees collaborate amongst each other, but the same perspective isn't always seen when it comes to sharing technology resources. Those decision-makers need an attitude adjustment when it comes to shared workloads, according to Susan Eustis, president and CEO, co-founder of WinterGreen Research.
It may seem like common sense, but not everyone seems to get it. "It's far more efficient to share a resource than it is to build and not use it all the time," Eustis said. "It's a message people don't want to hear, but in fact, people who invested in shared workloads are the leaders in their industry segment." Such organizations include Wal-Mart and Travelers Insurance, she noted.
In an era where organizations are trying to stay afloat, or simply get off the ground, looking towards the cloud can seem like a logical move. By sharing a workload in the cloud, costs can edge downwards. This can lead to a competitive advantage because organizations that adopt such a model can afford to offer products and services at a lower price point.
In a traditional set-up, every department within an organization would have its own set of servers and thus individually pay for the service. That however, is starting to change. Now, some companies are only paying for the portion of servers that are in use. "The virtualization workload moves on and off the cloud in the way it hasn't happened before," Eustis said.
The cloud isn't the only area cost savings can be found. IT leaders might be surprised to learn that mainframes may not be the money-draining resource they have a reputation for being. "I've done a lot of work over the years and I'm showing the mainframe is 10 times cheaper than the servers," Eustis said.
The message from Eustis is clear – archaic thinking isn't going to get an organization ahead. "People have to stop being afraid of losing their job and start looking at what the reality is," she said.
Have you seen stubborn thinking and practices hinder an organization's ability to succeed? What are some common pitfalls you've seen leaders take when it comes to making IT decisions?
Big data investments edge upwards, survey findsBig Data, Development, Gartner
A growing number of organizations are jumping on the big data bandwagon, according to research from Gartner. Within the next two years, more than 70% of just over 300 survey respondents said they will invest in the technology. The figure represents a nearly 10% upswing from last year.
While the notorious three Vs: Volume, variety, and velocity have plagued most who attempt to wrangle loads of data, survey respondents paid the most attention to volume, that is the sheer amount of data.
Even though certain types of information have been gathered for quite some time, the quantity of that data has rapidly risen. If not properly managed, the structured or unstructured information that was once a profit point could turn into a costly, headache-inducing problem.
The research points out that data variety, the different types of information, can be one of the more problematic areas of big data to manage. With the upswing of social media, for example, a new set of skills and tools, plus expanded storage, is needed to make use of the information.
That may explain why more organizations aren't attempting to get information from log data, often derived from social media. The survey revealed that the number of organizations attempting to glean insights from profiles and interactions dipped 2%. Gartner believes issues integrating social media with other data may be the root of the trend.
Figuring out what to do with, and how to manage big data from social media, isn't the only problem IT professionals are facing. Mobile devices are also a pain point for developers as needs and goals can vary depending on the application's target audience.
Despite the problems big data can present, the opportunities to extract valuable information cannot be overlooked. Given the uptick in organizations planning to deploy a big data project in the near future, it seems business leaders are getting the picture. Now it's up to IT professionals to figure out how to deal with big data in a cost-effective and timely fashion.
Has your organization struggled to integrate information gathered from new sources, such as social media, with more traditional big data sources? How have you gone about overcoming the obstacle?

Why will Wal-Mart go out of its way to purchase products from businesses that profit from same gender sexual behavior?
And why did they have to change their policy on the extension of benefits for married to partners to now include same-sex domestic partners? Will they also extend the benefits to opposite-sex domestic partners? Why are they discriminating against heterosexuals?
Admittedly I haven't been in a Wal-Mart in about three years. New York City seems to have a chip on its shoulder about them and won't seem to let them come with arm's reach of Manhattan. Which brings about Wal-Mart's newest challenge.
In turning their back on the Red State shopper which disapproves of these changes by 70-90% of the population Wal-Mart has made a terrible business decision.
I know it wasn't their idea. But in not fighting it, by succumbing to the threats of the community that likes to identify itself based on what type of sex they have in the bedroom, Wal-Mart has taken a turn in an incredibly stupid direction.
And that's what we all know...
This was never about Wal-Mart really needing to become more tolerant - they didn't. But a handful of hateful activists put a bulls-eye on the retailer that scared them.
They should be more afraid of losing their core buyer than catering to the extremists among us.
So let's remind them.
Print out this flyer, print out dozens, hand them out at church, to your neighbors, and to the customer service desk of your local Wal-Mart. Let them know - in all kindness - that you don't see any reason why the proud tradition of Sam Walton - a truly great American - should needlessly be entangled with ugly radical, sexual, activism.
Look we all lose our way sometimes, and that's when it's important for our friends to step up, look us in the eye, and tell us the truth - even if it hurts.
And for America - this one does...

Tony Nominee Anne Meara to Guest on NBC's LAW & ORDER: SVU
Tony nominee Anne Meara guest-stars on NBC's LAW & ORDER: SVU on Wednesday, December 5. The episode, titled "Dreams Deferred," also guest-stars Patricia Arquette.
An armed and dangerous man goes on a killing spree across New York City, and the last person he calls is Jeannie (Arquette), a prostitute with whom he has a long-standing weekly appointment. When Jeannie goes missing, the SVU has to convince their NYPD brothers that hers is a life worth saving. Meara plays Jeannie's mother Irene, who constantly worries for her daughter's health and safety.
Meara is known as half of the comedy team, "Stiller & Meara" but also boasts an impressive solo career. After studying acting with Alfred Linder and Uta Hagen, she appeared with Zero Mostel in "Ulysses In Nighttown" and in the first season of the New York Shakespeare Festival in Central Park for Joe Papp. Off-Broadway Meara created the role of Bunny in John Guare's "House of Blue Leaves" and starred in Harvey Fierstein's "Spookhouse".
She played the 83-year-old mother in Guare's "Bosom And Neglect" and appeared as the nurse in The Public Theatre's production of "Romeo & Juliet". On Broadway, Meara appeared in Richard Greenberg's "Eastern Standard" and in the Roundabout's production of "Anna Christie" for which she received a Tony Award nomination. In 2011 Meara completed a month-long Off-Broadway run in Nora and Delia Ephron's "Love, Loss, and What I Wore".
