Last week, iSGTW attended the EGI Conference 2015 in Lisbon, Portugal.
Open science was a major theme at the event, with both the European Science Cloud and EGI's vision for the Open Science Commons featuring as major topics of discussion.
At the recent Internet2 Global Summit iSGTW sat down with George Komatsoulis to talk about the state of distributed research and the NIH Commons, a scalable virtual environment to provide high-performance computing and data storage for bio-medical research. When implemented, the Commons will create a marketplace for digital bio-medical resources, driving down costs and democratizing access.
Small colleges and remote learners need not worry about limited access to quality science equipment. The NANSLO solution is to bring the lab to you.
The European CHAIN-REDS project, which ran for 30 months starting in December 2012, worked to promote and support technological and scientific collaboration across e-infrastructures established and operated in different continents, in order to define a path towards a global e-infrastructure ecosystem. The CHAIN-REDS vision is that this ecosystem will enable virtual research communities, research groups, and even individual researchers to access and efficiently use worldwide distributed resources (e.g., computing, storage, data, services, tools, and applications). A booklet published last month gives an overview of the project's success in facilitating this ambitious vision and assesses the project's global impact.
The 25 April Nepal earthquake has killed more than 7,000 people and destroyed hundreds of thousands of homes. The deadliest earthquake in Nepal since 1934, the tremor killed at least 19 climbers and crew on Mount Everest and reportedly produced casualties in the adjoining countries of Bangladesh, China, and India.
In response, scientists at The Ohio State University and the University of Minnesota are directing supercomputing resources to aid in the disaster relief.
You may think XSEDE is nothing more than access to high-performance computing resources. But did you know XSEDE offers a full range of training opportunities to teach your scientists and engineers how to work with supercomputers?
This issue marks the 10th anniversary of iSGTW. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our readers and all those who have contributed to the publication over the last decade.
As iSGTW celebrates its 10th anniversary, Katie Yurkewicz, the publication's first editor, looks back at the challenges of establishing an e-newsletter to support the fledgling grid-computing community and highlights how the publication has evolved.
Earthquake warning systems are an expensive proposition — but not when crowdsourced via smartphones. Scientists recently tested consumer devices, and were surprised at what they found.
Seismologists have always relied on surface observation to piece together models of what they thought Earth's interior looked like. These models served them well for years, but they were unable to map out the planet's interior with certainty, until now. A team of scientists is using the powerful US Titan supercomputer to do just that.
Welcome to the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG), the most sophisticated data-taking and analysis system ever built for science.
iSGTW interviews Jorge Gomes, member of the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) executive board, ahead of next month's EGI Conference in Lisbon, Portugal. He explains why it is vital to support research with grid computing, as well as with a range of related IT services. "In order for researchers to be able to collaborate and share data with one another efficiently, the underlying IT infrastructures need to be in place," says Gomes. "With the amount of data produced by research collaborations growing rapidly, this support is of paramount importance."
Big data opens doors previously closed to researchers, yet the volume of data sends scientists looking for analytical tools to bring order from the informational cacophony. Prior to tools like Bioconductor, there were few options for working with quantitative data types; a discordant score for deciphering the human genetic code was the result.
Today, genomic analysis machines create a common language for users, and build a worldwide community to foster developers from among subject matter experts. These instruments make beautiful music from a mass of genomic information.

we booked this holiday thinking we were going with shearings not so the coach and driver were from another coach company.There was nothing wrong with the driver but he did get lost a couple of times. On the first day we travled to Bath but were told that we could not go to the hotel befour 4 oclock so our choice was to walk around bath for 2 hours in the pouring rain or go on a city tour at £6.50 each so we went on the tour. we got to the hotel about 4.30. The hotel and staff very nice and food not too bad.The trips out were fine pity the weather was not better.

'Pak Army a stakeholder in dialogue with India'
Islamabad: The Pakistan Army was a stakeholder in the dialogue process with India, Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar said and assured that Islamabad had granted the most favoured nation (MFN) status to India.
Khar told mediapersons in Lahore Saturday that MFN status to India had been granted with the approval of the federal cabinet with the assurance that India would waive non-tarrif barriers as part of the dialogue process.
On confidence building measures with India, she said that New Delhi had assured Islamabad that it would not block Pakistan`s way in Preferential Market Access by the European Union unlike it had done in the past, reported Associated Press of Pakistan.
She said the Army was a stakeholder in the dialogue process with India.
All institutions are supportive of the idea of improving relations with India, she added.
With reference to Kashmir, the foreign minister said that Pakistan desired result-oriented dialogue with India. The country had achieved much more than expected during the dialogue process.
She said that stability in the region was of primary importance to Pakistan as its role was proactive in building relations with neighboring countries.
Khar said: "Promoting relations and enhancing economic as well as political ties with countries like Turkey, Afghanistan and India are the corner-stone of country`s foreign policy."
Calling the country`s membership of the UN Security Council (UNSC) an achievement, she said it had dispelled the impression that Pakistan was isolated among the comity of nations.
The victory in the Security Council election by three-fourth majority was a tangible proof that Pakistan was a matured and responsible state in the world.
Pakistan`s proactive role in the sixth summit dialogue in Turkey as well as the trilateral dialogue in Afghanistan was another proof of Pakistan`s desire to promote regional peace, said Khar.
She said that Pakistan sought good neighbourly relations with all the countries in the region and would also reach out to other countries to promote peace and harmony in South Asia.

Even if England beat Italy, Germany will knock them out: Capello
Madrid: Former England coach Fabio Capello believes that it does not matter who wins Sunday`s Euro 2012 quarter-final between the Three Lions and Italy because Germany will beat them in the next round.
Roy Hodgson`s side face the Azzurri in Kiev after winning Group D and are in buoyant mood, with the former West Brom boss still unbeaten with the national team.
But former Italy international Capello, the man Hodgson replaced, is predicting a Germany-Spain final while also admitting that he has mixed emotions ahead of the clash between his native country and former charges.
"I have contrasting sentiments about Sunday's game," the 66-year-old told the Mirror.
"I worked with England for four years and I can't easily forget that. However, Spain and Germany will be the two finalists at Euro 2012."
Germany face Greece on Friday night, with Spain playing France on Saturday, and Capello went on to elaborate on the clash of styles he is expecting if the two countries do reach the final.
The potential match-up would be a repeat of the 2008 final, which La Roja won 1-0 thanks to a Fernando Torres goal.
"Germany have an incredible spirit and have real strength, while Spain are the side who play the best football even if they are missing something in attack – they need a player like Lionel Messi," Capello opined.
"Generally speaking, I think that these two sides are superior to the rest of the teams in the competition."

Move over, Oprah! Nigerian billionaire unseats TV queen as the richest black woman in the world with $7.3b oil fortune
- Mother-of-four, Folorunsho Alakija, 62, started her career as a secretary in a bank then studied fashion and launched a label but her big break was oil
- In 1993, her company, Famfa Oil, was awarded an oil prospecting license, which later became OML 127, one of Nigeria's most prolific oil blocks
- The company owns a 60 per cent stake in the block, valued at around $7.3 billion, Ventures Africa reports
- According to Forbes, Oprah Winfrey is worth $2.9 billion
Move over Oprah: Nigerian oil tycoon Folorunsho Alakija, pictured in September, is now the richest black woman in the world with an estimated fortune of $7.3 billion
Move over Oprah, Nigerian oil tycoon Folorunsho Alakija is now the richest black woman in the world with an estimated fortune of $7.3 billion.
Africa boasts 55 billionaires - far more than previously thought - and they're worth a staggering $143.88 billion in total, according to pan-African magazine Ventures Africa.
Starting her career as a secretary in a bank in the mid 1970s, Alakija, 62, then studied fashion in London and returned to Nigeria to start a label, Supreme Stitches. But her biggest break came in oil.
In 1993, her company, Famfa Oil, was awarded an oil prospecting license, which later became OML 127, one of the country's most prolific oil blocks, by then-president Ibrahim Babangida.
The company owned a 60 per cent stake in the block until 2000 when the Nigerian government unconstitutionally acquired a 50 per cent interest without duly compensating Alakija or Famda Oil.
In May 2012, Alakija, a married mother-of-four, challenged the acquisition and the Nigerian Supreme Court reinstated the 50 per cent stake to her company.
She also has a charity called the Rose of Sharon foundation that helps widows and orphans by empowering them through scholarships and business grants.
magazine had estimated Alakija's fortune at $600 million, as of
November 2012, but the magazine's editor-in-chief Uzodinma Iweala said
his researchers were 'closer to the ground.'

Still rich: According to Forbes, Oprah Winfrey, pictured, is worth $2.9 billion
Richest African: The overall richest African is Nigerian manufacturer Aliko Dangote, pictured, who is worth $20.2 billion. Twenty Nigerians are listed in total
They noted that Brazilian oil
company, Petrobas, was looking to sell its 8 per cent stake in OML 127
for $1.5- $2.5 billion, and extrapolated that if they managed to sell it
for $1 billion, Alakija's 60 per cent stake would be worth at least
$7.3 billion.
Iweala claims this and other estimates included in the report are actually 'on the conservative side' and said the magazine expect to unearth more African billionaires shortly.

LONDON, January 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
- Funding round will drive new product development and market expansion efforts in the US
Queremos / WeDemand, a leading Brazilian social crowdfunding platform to promote concerts and other events, today announced a funding round of c. $1m led by Beyond Digital Limited (advised exclusively by Talis Capital Limited), alongside leading industry investors, including Sean Moriarty the ex-CEO of Ticketmaster. Beyond Digital (advised by Talis Capital, a London-based multi-family office) led this round having been impressed by the management team and their innovative vision for the future of concert promotion and crowdfunded live music, after initially meeting at TechCrunchDisrupt SF 2012.
Queremos will use the funds to expand in to the US live events industry under the brand WeDemand. Vasile Foca, director and co-founder of Talis Capital said, "We are very pleased Beyond Digital led this round, partnering with some of the leading industry investors and angels and we look forward to a bright future with Queremos and WeDemand." Matus Maar, director and co-founder of Talis Capital added, "Queremos is a proven and successful platform in Brazil, with an experienced and talented management team that can leverage their experience to develop crowdfunding for live concerts in the US and internationally." Other investors included Sean Moriaty, former CEO and president of Ticketmaster alongside a syndicate of prominent Brazilian angel investors.
Since launching in 2010 Queremos has brought more than 50 international bands to Brazil and is now the largest crowdfunding site in the country. The platform has sold nearly 50k tickets and has attracted bands such as Feist, LCD Soundsystem, Vampire Weekend, Foster the People, Chromeo, Belle & Sebastian, The National and Of Montreal.
Tiago Compagnoni, CEO and co-founder of Queremos / WeDemand said, "We are very proud to have the Talis Capital team on board - they share and understand our vision for revolutionizing the live concert market."
Queremos, after two years operating as a "closed" platform in Rio de Janeiro and attracting 52 top bands, mainly from the US and UK, are expanding their footprint in the US with the recent launch of the WeDemand platform. Queremos qualified as one of Tech Crunch's SF 2012 Battlefield 30 finalists, selected out of over a thousand applicants. The crowdfunded concert solution developed by Queremos and WeDemand not only gives back control to music fans, but also eliminates risk of loss for promoters and brings live acts to locations that love them.
Beyond Digital is a Jersey investment company, advised exclusively by Talis Capital, which invests globally in businesses that operate in high growth digital markets. The four key areas of focus are crowd/social media, big data & data analytics, cyber security and mobile technology.
Talis Capital is a London based multi-family office, and exclusive adviser to Beyond Digital.

Malicious agents are moving faster than the speed of business. Even more worrisome, most companies are relying on legacy approaches to security that are no longer capable of meeting current threats. In the modern cloud, threat diversity is rapidly expanding, necessitating more sophisticated security protocols than those used in the past or in desktop environments. Yet companies are falling for cloud security myths that were truths at one time but have evolved out of existence.

Letter to the editor: The role of public schools
To the editor:
Public schools are a form of glue for neighborhoods and small communities.
Once schools are closed so goes the community, the local grocery store, gas station, auto repair shop, grain elevators, maybe a small newspaper and jobs, jobs, jobs. Public schools can hold all of this together.
Public schools are a very social gathering point and provide good jobs for communities. The current public school financial situation puts all small towns at risk. Kansas does not need more ghost towns.
Rural public school districts have always received much more money per student than the larger metropolitan districts. This was done in order to attract teachers and administrators to farming communities. No one complained until now that money is short. Your small public school is at risk as the larger metropolitan areas have closed some neighborhood schools -- believe me, neighborhoods are NOT happy.

MP3: The Meaning of a Format
Author Jonathan Sterne discusses his new book about the history of the mp3.
By Eric Harvey , August 9, 2012
Mp3s have embedded themselves into daily musical life so thoroughly that they're taken for granted. They don't call attention to themselves as aesthetic objects like records; instead, we interact with them as files, documents, icons. They're infinitely duplicable and available in seemingly infinite numbers. At the same time, however, mp3s are intensely controversial. More than a decade after the government took down Napster, these digital objects remain at the center of intense debates about morality and musical value; they've eradicated the scarcity of music recordings, doing away with more than a century of economic and social realities about how, when, and where music can be accessed. And, if you listen to certain types of music or talk to certain people about them, mp3s sound quite horrible.
In his new book, Mp3: The Meaning of a Format, McGill University professor Jonathan Sterne exhaustively and eloquently traces the history of the mp3 from the initial hearing model developed in Bell Labs to the current debates about piracy. As the author argues, each time we rip a CD to our hard drives, we're not only saving space in our living rooms or ensuring we have the appropriate gym soundtrack, but also reaffirming a fundamental idea about the limits of human perception.
"With an mp3, you're not going to have the same enjoyment that vinyl collectors talk about in terms of physicality, though, for a lot of people, that pleasure has been transferred to computer electronics."
Pitchfork: People often describe mp3s as "dematerialized" or "invisible" music. You argue that they're actually "things" comparable with CDs, though.
JS: They're just different kinds of things. You can hold an mp3 in your hand, you just need some kind of container for it; Apple developed an entire campaign about the thousands of songs you can hold in your hand. There's a materiality to them because you run out of space on your hard drive, or you can or can't stream them depending on bandwidth. But the important thing is that their materiality comes with completely different affordances than something like a CD.
With an mp3, you're obviously not going to have the same enjoyment that vinyl collectors talk about in terms of the physicality of the medium. Although for a lot of people, that pleasure has been directly transferred to computer electronics. The whole fashionable-portable-audio-player phenomena is very much of a piece with the enjoyment of records, except that it's not a subcultural phenomenon, and certainly doesn't lend itself to the same kind of aestheticism that comes with being a record collector. But the flipside, in a way, is that mp3s are closer to what I would call the social demand for music-- the desire to be with music, to move with it and share it. They're much closer to that than a record is.
Pitchfork: One of the book's best chapters is about the tests audio engineers ran in 1990 and 1991 to determine the standard for quality.
JS: Actually, the story of music testing comes from a longer history of industrial testing called hedonics, which I trace back to World War II. Hedonics was developed as a part of industrial psychology to try to measure and test pleasure and displeasure. For instance, if you're packing string beans in cans for G.I.s, how disgusting do they have to be before people won't eat them? Or on the flip side, a company like Frito Lay has chip testers at the ends of their production lines. The question isn't, "How tasty is this potato chip?" But: "How does the taste of this potato chip compare with the standard potato chip?"
This was the mode of testing that was used with the mp3. So the first question is, "What's the difference between one of several possible new coding schemes and CD-quality audio?" It's always relative to other audio. Really, it's just different flavors of processing, which is the defining characteristic of contemporary music aesthetics. So much stuff we hear now is so heavily processed. If you heard an unprocessed voice in a music recording, you would think it was wrong, because it didn't have dynamic range compression, it isn't heavily edited, there isn't any artificial reverberation added. It would sound strange to most listeners.
The MPEG listening tests used a variety of recordings: some castanets, a Suzanne Vega or Tracy Chapman tune, Ornette Coleman, a solo bass guitar piece, examples of male and female speech. The testers would listen to each of these recordings, flip back and forth between different coding schemes and the original recording without knowing which was which, trying to determine the difference. They'd do it over and over for hours-- the process is quite exhausting and unpleasant. If a tester was correct more often than they would be if they were guessing, the researchers would know there was a perceivable difference.
The question that immediately arises is: Would you get different results with different music and with different listeners? In the case of the MPEG test listeners, we're talking about professional engineers, people who work for audio companies, or people who work for radio stations. If you look at the aesthetics of the recordings, they all conform to this sanctioned radio aesthetic in terms of how recordings are made and what they sound like. I wasn't able to hear all the recordings, but if you listen to the commercial stuff, everything's recorded in exactly the way you'd expect an engineer at a radio station in 1991 to classify as "well-recorded." There isn't anything too esoteric or strange.
So by choosing mainstream music as the tests for MPEG audio, they actually produced a format that doesn't conform to universals of human hearing, but does conform very well to the record industry. In other words, a small number of mastering engineers have determined what good recordings will sound like.
Pitchfork: In the popular history of mp3s, Suzanne Vega's a cappella version of "Tom's Diner" is situated as the key musical moment in the engineering of the format. But you dispute the validity of that argument.
JS: The Vega recording is super interesting because if you listen to the recording in headphones or at a high volume on good speakers, you can hear a massive echo in the background at certain points, especially at the ending of phrases. In the first verse, listen for the sound after "dinner," "corner," "argue," "somebody," and "in." That's because she's singing very close to the mic and they're using a lot of dynamic range compression. That goes with the aesthetics of the time. So even this a cappella recording that's talked about as "pure" and "natural" and "organic" is this highly processed artifact, and the referent of perceptually coded audio is not Suzanne Vega singing in a room, but Suzanne Vega singing on a very well produced record.
Pitchfork: A lot of people cite piracy as the reason why mp3s became the ubiquitous medium for 21st-century music. But you broaden that out and consider some other factors that contributed to the format's ubiquity.
JS: Absolutely. Obviously, filesharing and unauthorized copying is a factor-- when I say "piracy," I really mean unauthorized copying, because piracy is not a real thing. In fact, it's a crazy term because it combines people in their rooms downloading music with armed thieves in boats off the coast of eastern Africa. So really we're talking about an industry that wants to limit copying as much as possible and control the means of purchase, use, and recirculation in problematic ways.
The mp3 took off after an Australian hacker cracked a piece of encoding software that the Fraunhofer Institute, which owns a lot of the patents for the mp3, created. It gets re-released for free, and people start using the software to rip mp3s from their CDs. Within a year or two, because they're so common, companies like Microsoft and Apple are signing deals with Fraunhofer, and by the time Napster takes off, anyone with a computer could use software to rip a CD to mp3.
That's part of the story, but there's a much more important part. When we think about music piracy or unauthorized copying, we normally think about it in terms of a record industry and an end user. But I actually think there's a more important relationship involving the conduit industries, which are as much media industries as the recording industry. These people benefit tremendously from file sharing. My favorite example of this comes from 2001, when Sony Music (the record label) joins a suit against Napster put forward by the Recording Industry Association of America at the same time Sony (the consumer electronics manufacturer) releases a CD player that can play mp3s. Where do you think those mp3s come from? You could say the same thing for the initial iPod.
Maybe now that the iTunes store is old enough, there are people in the world who have bought everything natively digital and didn't rip or download anything. But for a very long time in the 2000s, the ISPs, people selling hard drives, people selling bandwidth, people selling music playback gadgets, and even people selling new computers all benefitted greatly from file sharing. They had a huge economic interest in it. This is a big debate in Silicon Valley; the Free Culture movement. Content provision is something that helps amplify search engines, ISPs, and other companies that depend on people going out and finding content to make money.
"Music piracy is not a real thing. In fact, it's a crazy term because it combines people in their rooms downloading music with armed thieves in boats off the coast of eastern Africa."
Pitchfork: What do you see as the future of the mp3, if not, as you say in your book, the end of the mp3?
JS: Well, I think it's going to be around for a while, because people have very large music collections in mp3 format that they may or may not have bought. And if they didn't buy them, are they then going to spend a lot of money to replace them the way baby boomers did with CDs and LPs? It's a much tougher sell.
There are competitors to the mp3, some of which are open source like .ogg, which is a great alternative because it is completely open, but it also means that content industries like Apple are quite hostile to it because they see it as an indirect threat. Mp3s are with us as long as we're using computers and the same kinds of music platforms we're using today. When the next telecommunications infrastructure comes along-- with new devices and new ways of engaging with music-- that's when the dominance of the mp3 and compressed audio in general will be challenged.
