My recent blog post on the IBM Banking site on the first steps to cloud enable a bank and how other non-financial institutions have enabled their businesses.
Below is the link for my latest blog post on the IBM Banking site:
My recent post on the IBM banking site on the IBM System/360. As we look at the platform
model this was just that 50 years ago.
Linked is my recent post to the IBM banking site about using the platform model when it comes to core systems.
Some thoughts around core modernization in a world moving to cloud computing:
I recently wrote for the IBM Banking blog my thoughts around continuous availability and some limitations and patterns to achieve that goal for banking applications. The post is here:
In my day job, I work with large enterprise customers to make systems continuously available. We focus on making sure systems can withstand component failures and we also make sure if a disaster strikes, users have access to their systems/data. Although our requirements in our homes is not as critical in terms of availability, loosing our data can be a major event and should never happen. This post will recommend a strategy for a multi-tier approach to backup both locally and remote and discuss archiving of data. Backup: First the obvious. Backup your computer on a regular basis. Most people do this with USB hard drives. These drives are inexpensive and hold vast amounts of data. A 1 Terabyte drive can be purchased for around $70. When you own multiple computers it is sometimes best to have a network attached storage(NAS) device. The difference is a NAS device becomes another virtual computer on your network and all other computers have access to this storage device. The drive can be segmented for different functions such as sharing data within your family and each computer have its own backup area. I use the Western Digital my book duo device which was about $300. With this drive you can choose to either use both drives and have 4 gig of space or use the RAID 1 capability and have 2 gig of usable space with it mirrored to the second drive in the event of a single drive failure. I use mine in the RAID 1 configuration. You can also make your data available to the external internet if you would like. The actual process of backing up is very simple as all modern operating systems such as Windows 7 and Mac OS both have built-in features to perform the backups. You can set the frequency of backup based on what each user thinks is appropriate. Another strategy that I use is to let the O/S do the full image backup as well as keeping data backed up as well. This can make moving to a new computer easier when it is time to upgrade. Off-site: Much like enterprise computing, having a second set of backups or in the case of enterprise computing in a different location is critical. In the enterprise world we call this geographic diversity. For home computing we do this in the event something happens to our home such as a fire or a tornado. Storing our most critical data off site should be part of our home computing strategy. In my case I use Carbonite to back up the most critical data. Keep in mind the data is backed up as previously stated using the network drive but our most important data should have a second backup off site. Carbonite is a great solution. For $59/yr you can back up an entire single computer. You can also access the data using other devices such as tablets and phones. I have also used Amazon S3 in the past. There are several reputable offerings that perform this service. The cloud: Everyone is talking about "the cloud". There are many good offerings out there which can be used as both a backup and off-site option. These offerings are also used to share data between your various devices such as sharing a single document between your tablet and home computer. I have used several of them including Dropbox, Microsoft Skydrive, Apple iCloud and Box. All are very similar and selecting the best one will be driven by which computing ecosystem you are using. As an example, iCloud works well within the Apple ecosystem. Almost every offing offers a small amount of free storage and minimal cost to upgrade to higher levels of storage. Google Drive is also another good offering to consider. I use it for shared documents between multiple people. The ability for multiple people to access, including edit as well as read a document in a single location is a great computing capability. In the old model, we would attach and e-mail documents from person to person. An excellent solution for backup of photos is Flickr. They offer 1TB of space for your photos for free and an app to automatically upload those pictures from your smart phone when you take the picture so the backup is automatic. All you need to do is sign up. Archive: Even sophisticated technologists often do not understand the difference between backup and archive. A backup is simple, it takes the systems and data we often use and copies it to a secondary entity in the event of some sort of failure. Archive is very different. When we archive data we take data we no longer routinely need and move it out of our regular computing environment and store it elsewhere in the event we may need it in the future. A good example would be our tax records. Once we file our taxes we no longer need to routinely access that data but we are required to keep that data for seven years in the event of an audit. Maintaining that data on our regular compute environment does not make sense but having an an archive solution for that type of data works well. Archives could be data burned to CD's of DVD's or just sent to a cloud solution. Keeping all data together will use up space in your primary compute environment where archive-able data can be removed. Our home computing environments are a very important part of our lives. It is critical that we create an environment where we don't loose our valuable data or memories stored in that data. Hopefully this helps you build a strategy to keep your data safe.
I just spent a very interesting day at the IBM innovation center in Boston and left with a few impressions. First, traveling to Boston in mid December with snow in the forecast is never a good idea. Second, the team in our Cambridge facility that focus on user experience and user interface design is amazingly talented creating the next generation of client experience for the systems that we all will use. We have all used applications with both good and bad user interfaces and the experience we get from the UI design give us an overall impression of the quality of the overall application workmanship. Years ago as a developer, having my applications reviewed by what was then known as the "human factors team" was always a humbling experience but gave a perspective on the importance of usability of the application interface even back in the day of 3270 interfaces. But the most important thing that I left with is, as critical as the user interface is, the infrastructure that supports these systems is just as critical. As an architect that generally considers himself an infrastructure guy, that may seem like a natural reaction and almost self serving, but when someone uses either a web site or an application, as important as the user interface is, if the system can not scale to the required number of users, or is not available when it is needed, the user experience will be based on the these non-functional attributes and sadly, the user interface becomes irrelevant. Using the home construction analogy, when we design and build our homes we love the aesthetics and it is very important that our living space is both beautiful and functional but we can't forget about the electrician and the plumber. We can have the most beautiful living space in the world, but if the toilets don't flush and the lights fail to work when you need them, you will have a very undesirable living experience.
This post is not about bigots in the traditional sense but the views espoused by technology bigots are just as closed minded and irrational as the views of the more traditional bigots.
This is about "my technology is better than your technology" and there is no place for yours in the industry. I am specifically talking about hardware platforms, mainframe, traditional midrange UNIX and Intel based servers. If you have spent any time in this industry you have either seen it, or perhaps but hopefully not, this may describe you.
The time I spend with large enterprise customers that have large legacy systems running on mainframe environments allow me to see this on a regular basis. The view that large systems are a thing of the past and the world can run on commoditized only infrastructure is where you see this the most. Most of this originates from individuals that don't fully appreciate high volume traditional transaction processing where the ACID properties of transactions are critical. Likewise, the teams that have spent their entire lives on the "big iron" fail to appreciate or understand there is a significant amount of workload that is not only appropriate to run on distributed systems but actually are more well suited for a scale-out architecture. The "mainframe guys" think the distributed team is a bunch of cowboys with a completely undisciplined approach to information technology. The distributed team is convinced the mainframe team is too slow to respond to customer needs. Traditional UNIX still has a place. Large scale-up SMT environments where CPU performance is critical will continue to remain relevant well beyond the careers of all of us.
Quoting Rodney King, "can't we just all get along". If you want to have a long fulfilling career in this industry, having a breadth of skills and understanding all available options and selecting the option that best meets the requirements is the right thing to do for our customers. It is always possible to pound a square peg in a round hole with enough force but using the round peg is always better for everyone involved.
Humans love collecting things. Some people collect more typical things such as coins or stamps. Others invest in things such as Hummel dolls, Crystal animals etc. My favorite collection is a bit different.
I have been lucky to visit many beach locations all over the world. When I do I like bringing some of it back with me using one of the local water bottles . Over the years I have acquired many. The variations are significant from the fine sand of the Caribbean and Hawaii to the pebbles of the southern coast of France and the large stones of southern United Kingdom.
Each bottle is labeled with the beach name, the date and the latitude and longitude of where I got it.

Edward L. Montoro (born 1928) was an American film producer and distributor known for releasing exploitation films and B-movies during the 1970s and 1980s through his company Film Ventures International. Montoro became notorious for producing and promoting films such as Beyond the Door (1974) and Grizzly (1976) which were highly derivative of the 1970s blockbuster hits The Exorcist and Jaws.

Has anyone been? If so, did your LO have fun? Flying to Baltimore for the weekend and thinking about going. Just wanted some feedback from those who have been there. Thanks!!!
Port Discovery Kid Museum in Baltimore, MD

The no-stroller policy sucks but once we were there I realized it makes sense because of all the narrow escalators and walkways that I had forgotten about. You wouldn't be able to get near the exhibits with a stroller.
Fortunately LO started walking 3 days before we went so he was able to carry his own weight at least part of the time lol.
Well I took him to the kids museum and it was AWESOME!! Of course he was free and adults were $13.95 which I thought was somewhat expensive until I got inside and saw how much there was to do and see. We were there for nearly 3 hours so it was definitely worth the $$. It is 3 floors with the middle being open with a climbing/crawling thing that starts on the 1st floor and goes to the 3rd floor. You can get on or off on any floor and it is sturdy and big enough for adults to climb and play on with the kids. There were several areas and activities for my 13.5 mnth old to play and interact. I have tons of pics and if I think about it I will upload some to this thread. I would recommend it to anybody living or visiting the Baltimore area!

CROWDS are expected to fill the streets to welcome home gold medal winning Olympic rower Pete Reed on Saturday.
An open top bus will carry Pete through Stroud and onto his hometown of Nailsworth as part of a day of celebrations in honour of histriumph in the men's coxless four.
In the morning, Pete - who now has two Olympic gold medals plus three silver World Championship medals - will attend a civic reception hosted by Stroud District Council for invited guests before appearing on the Sub Rooms balcony shortly after midday to make a brief speech.
He will then make his way onto the forecourt to mingle and sign autographs.
As part of his speech, Peter will acknowledge the work of the Stroud and District Access Group, which is holding a Liberty Festival at the same venue to improve disability awareness.
The event includes wheelchair basketball, wheelchair dancing, a deaf comedian, a sign along and a sign language workshop.
Pete will board the open-top bus at 12.45pm.
It will then make its way down Russell Street, Rowcroft and onto Bath Road on its way to Nailsworth for around 1.15pm.
The bus will then do a circuit along Market Street, Old Market and back onto Fountain Street before making its way to Nailsworth town hall at 1.45pm, where a barbecue will be held for the community.
Pete will also be making an appearance on the Forest Green Rovers pitch at half-time and will be staying to watch the second half of the game against Alfreton Town.
Stroud District Council chairman, John Hudson, said: "We are delighted and proud of Peter's achievements.
The Olympics proved to be an enthralling spectacle and it has been extra special to have a gold medal winner on our patch.
I hope that the spirit of the Olympics and the continuing momentum of the Paralympic Games will encourage people to turn out for this victory celebration and the Liberty Festival."

The story of Aditya Pancholi's rape case and illicit affair with Kangana Ranaut
(Aditya Pancholi had been accused of raping his ex-girlfriend Pooja Bedi's 15-year-old maid when the two celebs were allegedly dating.)
New Delhi: Sooraj Pancholi – who has been accused of driving girlfriend Jiah Khan to commit suicide – seems to be following in his father's footsteps. Until recently Aditya Pancholi had been making headlines for some or the other controversy.
During the time Pooja Bedi was giving advice to Shiney Ahuja's wife during his much talked about rape case, she had confirmed, that the rape allegation was the reason she broke up with Pancholi.
"You have to be balanced. I made a logical decision that infidelity wouldn`t be part of my life, so I dumped Aditya. My advice to Anu would be `Don`t make hasty decisions. Take a decision after calming down, so it`s a rational one," Pooja had said.

Demographers are estimating that the population of Alaska will surpass 800,000 by the year 2030. The population 65 and older is expected to grow the fastest between now and then.
"Demographers Greg Williams and Eddie Hunsinger admitted it's difficult to predict future population growth. But using a series of historical data and generally accepted practices, they predict the senior population will more than triple, the combined Anchorage and Mat-Su region will continue to grow and the Southeast region will continue to decline."
"Population figures show that the fastest-growing age group by the year 2030 will be those 65 years and older. This sector will triple, increasing from 45,391 in 2006 to 134,391 by 2030."
"Anchorage and the Mat-Su are still the fastest growing areas in Alaska, with a combined population in 2006 of 359,987. That will likely grow to 488,553 by 2030."

Article: Quaternary Ammonium-Type Gemini Surfactants Synthesized from Oleic Acid: Aqueous Solution Properties and Adsorption Characteristics[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cationic gemini surfactants having a quaternary ammonium headgroup have been synthesized from oleic acid. The hydrocarbon chain is covalently bound to the terminal carbonyl group of oleic acid via an amide bond, while the quaternary ammonium headgroup is introduced onto the cis double bond of oleic acid. The Krafft temperature of these surfactants drops below room temperature (ca. 25°C) when the counterion is exchanged from Br(-) to Cl(-). The aqueous solution properties of the Cl series of surfactants have been assessed by means of pyrene fluorescence, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and static surface tension measurements. An increased hydrocarbon chain length results in a lower critical micelle concentration (cmc) and a higher adsorption efficiency at the air/aqueous solution interface. Surface tension measurements suggest the formation of premicelles at concentrations below cmc, whereas, above cmc, DLS indicates the formation of micellar aggregates whose diameter ranges from 5 to 10 nm. We, furthermore, characterized the adsorption of these surfactants to the silica/aqueous solution interface and observed their spontaneous adsorption to the solid surface by electrostatic and intermolecular hydrophobic interactions. The combination of soft-contact imaging atomic force microscopy (AFM) and force-curve data suggests bilayer formation above cmc, which is reflective of the large packing parameter of the gemini surfactants. Interestingly, we found the repulsive interaction observed during compression of the adsorbed layer to be relatively weak, as a result of the low adsorption density and/or the loose molecular packing arrangement, which arises from the asymmetric structure.

ABSTRACT: We have developed a novel cinnamic acid-type photo-cleavable surfactant. This surfactant experiences photo-cleavage through UV-induced cyclization in aqueous solutions. The photo-cleavage not only reduces its capabilities as a surfactant but also yields two functional materials including a coumarin derivative and an aminated polyoxyethylene compound. This means that the photo-cleavable surfactant synthesized in this study is a photo-responsive function-exchangeable material. In our current study, we have characterized the photo-cleavable behavior that occurs in aqueous solutions and a resulting change in interfacial properties. The photo-cleavage induces an increased interfacial tension of a squalane/water interface and a decreased solubilization capability of the surfactant micelles.

ABSTRACT: Anionic gemini surfactants with carboxylic acid headgroups have been synthesized from oleic acid. The hydrocarbon chain is covalently bound to the terminal carbonyl group of oleic acid via an ester bond, and the carboxylic acid headgroups are introduced to the cis double bond of oleic acid via disuccinyl units. The surfactants exhibit pH-dependent protonation-deprotonation behavior in aqueous solutions. In alkaline solutions (pH 9 in the presence of 10 mmol dm(-3) NaCl as the background electrolyte), the surfactants can lower the surface tension as well as form molecular assemblies, even in the region of low surfactant concentrations. Under acidic (pH 3) or neutral (pH 6-7) conditions, the surfactants are intrinsically insoluble in aqueous media and form a monolayer at the air/water interface. In this study, we have investigated physicochemical properties such as the function of the hydrocarbon chain length by means of static surface tension, pyrene fluorescence, dynamic light scattering, surface pressure-area isotherms, and infrared external reflection measurements.
Article: Polymerizable Anionic Gemini Surfactants: Physicochemical Properties in Aqueous Solution and Polymerization Behavior[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A novel polymerizable anionic gemini surfactant has been synthesized and the physicochemical properties in aqueous solution have been studied with a combination of various analytical techniques. The surfactant (PA12-2-12) contains two anionic monomeric parts linked with an ethylene spacer and polymerizable methacryloxy groups covalently bound to the terminal of the hydrocarbon chains. The static surface tension data suggest that, when compared with a conventional (non-polymerizable) anionic gemini surfactant (A12-2-12), (i) the interfacial adsorption of PA12-2-12 occurs more effectively from low surfactant concentrations, whereas (ii) a weak interaction of the polymerizable terminal groups with water molecules (and/or the steric hindrance of the polymerizable groups) plays a significant role in the subsequent molecular packing at the air/aqueous solution interface. The latter effect (as well as the electrostatic repulsion between the anionic headgroups) results in a relatively less packed monolayer film, overcoming the strong intermolecular attractive interaction that is frequently seen for gemini surfactant systems. In the region of low added electrolyte concentrations, PA12-2-12 spontaneously forms spherical micelles in aqueous solution, which is confirmed with the Corrin-Harkins analysis (critical micelle concentration (cmc) vs. total counter-ion concentration) and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM). The spherical micelles have been polymerized under UV light irradiation in the absence of added electrolytes. Cryo-TEM measurements confirm that no significant change in the original micelle morphology occurs during the polymerization. This offers a possibility that the polymerizable anionic gemini surfactant should be useful as nano-structural organic templates and/or interfacial stabilizers in aqueous solution.

Sell Music online at ReverbNation.com
A career as a working musician and songwriter is one of those gigs that people look at and think, "How awesome would that be?" Well, Minneapolis based Tim Mahoney has been doing it his way for over fifteen years now. What began as a side career with huge aspirations while Mahoney was waiting tables has now blossomed into a full-fledged career. And make no mistake, the way that Mahoney hustles, it IS a job, but one he is very happy to have. To date, he's sold over 100,000 units of his various releases between a solo career and his part as a member of The Blue Meenies. And he also has the raw talent to win multiple awards year after year. In fact, Mahoney was featured in Rolling Stone Magazine in 2007 for their 40th anniversary issue when he won a Ray-Ban promotion. He's also won or placed high in songwriting contests about fifteen times over the past decade. In 2011, Mahoney appeared in a commercial for Platos Closet, an upscale used clothing store, and the spot, which features Mahoney's song, "Piece of You," ran in 40 markets nationwide. Then, of course, was his appearance on NBC's new hit reality show The Voice. Mahoney was chosen by Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine as one of his 8 team members after hearing Mahoney's stunning rendition of Sam Cooke's "Bring it On Home to Me." And while Mahoney was eliminated from the competition on the episode that aired in May 2011, the iTunes single of his duet with Casey Weston of "Leather and Lace" reached at high as #32 on the iTunes singles chart.

City Pages | #ShineThrough
Great article in City Pages about the release of #ShineThrough this Friday at the Fine Line in Minneapolis with Brian from GB Leighton and The War Poets. Here is the link: http://bit.ly/WmO07k
This is why I sing.
I am not sure how to respond to this.its bigger than me. I will say Susan is going to get a big surprise from me:) Hi Tim! I have a request....like you don't get enough of those huh?! I was wondering if there is any way possible that I could purchase your new CD now instead of waiting until January? Here is why I am requesting this (and I am not seeking sympathy, just giving a reason for the request): I am sick/dying and am in hospice care. There is a very good possibility that I will not be around when the CD is released. The disease I have, Chronic Pseudo Obstruction Intestinal Dysmotility, is basically slowly starving me to death. And, from the PICC lines and ports that I have had for nutrition and liquids, I have many large blood clots. So between the blood clots, the malnutrtion/dehydration which are shutting down my organs, the possibility of a stroke and/or a heart attack, we don't what will cause my death or when it will happen... However, I am getting worse and worse every day and am now in bed pretty much all the time and they are just trying to keep me comfortable. To listen to your new CD would cheer me up! :) I am a big fan (like you don't hear that all the time lol). I had lived in NM and AZ for about 6 years and you (via your music) were my connection to home, MN. As soon as I moved back to MN, the first thing I said I had to do was to go to a Tim Mahoney concert! I love your music. And the song that you recently put up on your Page - Wow!!! Love it. And that is how I live/speak/act - from the heart!!! So, if there is a way to purchase your CD now, I would be thrilled !!! Please let me know where to send the money if this is possible! If, not , well I would never know unless I had asked .... Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!

The account of the Jabalpur mutiny has now been recorded in The Contribution of the Indian Armed Forces to the Freedom Movement, a recent book by Maj Gen V.K. Singh (retd), chairman of the signals corps's history cell.Singh chanced upon the few remaining records of the Jabalpur mutiny while working on the official history of the Corps of Signals. He has already published the second volume of the corps's history and is busy collating material for the third and final volume. "I saw what Gen Sir Claude Auchinleck wrote to the army commanders, worried that the loyalty of the Indian troops couldn't be taken for granted anymore. This had a profound impact on the British and probably quickened the departure of the British from India," Singh told Outlook.It was in 2002, when Singh reopened dusty files of the Corps of Signals, that he lighted upon this forgotten chapter of the mutiny. "It seems that the men were agitated at the result of the INA trials, in which two officers were sentenced to rigorous imprisonment. The fact that Indian troops were treated as inferior to the British and paid less also added to their anger," says Singh.He immediately took up the cause of getting the mutiny recognised as a part of the freedom struggle. However, he only ran into the impenetrable Indian bureaucracy. As letters flew between Singh, the directorate of signals, ministry of defence, and the ministry of home affairs (MHA), the bureaucratic machinery continued to hold out. Singh took pains to point out to any official who would care to hear him out that the Jabalpur men had been ignored while recognition had been accorded to the naval ratings who participated in the Royal Indian Navy mutiny, which ironically took place a couple of weeks before the Jabalpur mutiny.
A list of the court-martialledClick here for large image
Meanwhile, one of the survivors of the mutiny, Lance Naik Neelakantan Nair, went to the Kerala High Court seeking directions to the MHA. In July 2003, the court directed the MHA and the state government to look into the matter and report back in six months. But nothing came of it. Finally, in a letter dated February 14, 2003 (No 8/2/2003-FF-P), the MHA stated that the issue of granting freedom fighter status to the mutineers had been "considered and it has been decided at the level of the home minister that they cannot be treated as freedom fighters."The then home minister and currently the BJP's prime ministerial candidate, L.K. Advani, as the letter states, did not find the mutiny and its impact adequate enough to club it with the freedom struggle. After much persuasion from the signals corps, some of the participants, 41 out of over 1,700 mutineers, were granted a meagre pension while the others were dismissed since official records showed that they had been "discharged on administrative grounds". What the MHA forgot to look into was a small but critical detail on the discharge certificates. The men had been discharged, the certificate stated, for taking part in the "Jubalpore STC mutiny". "It is absurd. All the naval mutineers have been recognised and feted by the government as freedom fighters. They too were discharged on administrative grounds. But the same logic didn't hold true for the men who suffered for decades for participating in the mutiny," says Singh. Ironically, the naval mutineers were also radiomen just like the ones in Jabalpur.
M.A. Kochuvareed, a mutineer
Eighty-seven-year-old M.A. Kochuvareed, who was a havildar during the Jabalpur mutiny and is one of its few survivors, has laboured to seek recognition from the government for nearly 60 years. His memory is fading, but Kochuvareed still remembers those fateful days of the uprising in great detail. "Just two weeks before the mutiny, we had heard Pandit Nehru at a rally in Jabalpur. He told us that even a chotta harkat (minor move) on our part would be enough to bring down the British flag and raise the Indian tricolour. Many were already agitated and we decided to take on the British soon after that. A few days after the mutiny began the British sent in a bayonet charge that killed nearly eight people and injured 30 others," Kochuvareed recounted to Outlook.Indian officers such as Brig Terence Baretto and Maj Gen K.K. Tiwari, both then war-weary captains in the British Indian army, were rushed to Jabalpur by army headquarters and the command of the unit was handed over to another Indian officer, one Lt Col Mukherjee. "As an adjutant I was in charge of the quarterguard where the men had been incarcerated and we heard from them about how they had been ill-treated by their British counterparts. I learnt a lot from them," remembers Tiwari. So why did the British hush up the Jabalpur mutiny? They feared trouble if the news of the revolt spread to other army units across British India. A year later, as independent India finally became a reality, the brave men of Jabalpur became a footnote in the forgotten records of the Corps of Signals.
Thank you to all those who have taken the trouble to read the article and share their thoughts. Out of the arguments made here, there are two that perhaps need answering. So here they go.
1. The first part of the article compares outcomes (relative percentages of population of the religions concerned) irrespective of the process that led to those outcomes - whether immigration, relatively faster population growth or conversions. This was for two reasons. One, to put the figure of 2.3 per cent in "numerical perspective", as the article itself explained. The second reason was that outcomes are ultimately what the crux of debate is about. The rest of the article in any case dealt with process - or conversions in this case, from both a contemporary and historical perspective.
2. Some commenters have tried to cast doubts on the reliability of Census 2001. Those who do this should bear in mind that Census 2001 was conducted by a BJP government. Considering the extreme importance that BJP gives to this issue, it would be reasonable to expect that IF it had perceived a problem with the methodology that was distorting the numbers, it would have fixed it. As the article mentioned, BJP or BJP-supported governments have been in power for 10 of the last 40 years, or about a quarter of the time, and the only reasonable conclusion one can arrive at is that any misreporting of numbers, real or perceived, would be marginal and hence, not of importance.
To all other arguments made, my answer is the following: Please read the article again, with particular focus on the quotations of Vivekananda and Monier Williams, and the history of the missionary efforts in Bengal and their outcome.

The Moon Is Lonely YKTTW Discussion
|The Moon Is Lonely
Give the moon a hug.
How Did We Miss This? The moon. Of the two celestial bodies most visible from earth, it is the lesser. Its light is a pale reflection. It stands watch over the night when most people and domestic animals are asleep. Is it any wonder that, when personified, the moon is often depicted as sad and lonely? Truly Older Than Dirt, this has been in myths for as long as humans have told stories. Examples:
- The story of Selene from Greek myth, the moon goddess who falls in love with a mortal and ensures he stas asleep forever so she can love him without him ever nowing it's not just a dream.
- In X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Silver Fox recounts a (possible made up) story about "why the moon is lonely."
- In Avatar: The Last Airbender, Sokka's first girlfriend turned into the moon. That's rough, buddy.
- Her crushing loneliness was the catalyst for Princess Luna's Face-Heel Turn in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.

A consecrated church belonging to the Church of England may be formally closed under the provisions of the Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011 because it is no longer required for regular worship. The notes which follow are intended as a guide to what happens thereafter.
When a church is formally closed regular public worship ceases. The building and its contents then vest in (i.e. become the property of) the Diocesan Board of Finance (the DBF). The Board assumes responsibility for reasonable care and maintenance; the responsibility of the Parochial Church Council comes to an end, although the PCC remains responsible for the upkeep of any churchyard or burial ground unless or until this is disposed of with the building or site (and unless an agreement exists with a local authority under the Open Spaces Act .
The search for an alternative use for the building now begins. There is in the diocese a Closed Churches Uses Committee whose sole function is to seek alternative uses for redundant church buildings. This Committee explores all possibilities through its secretariat at the Diocesan Office and through its land agent. In the meantime, the Church Commissioners consult the Statutory Advisory Committee of the CBC for information and advice on the historic and archaeological interest and architectural quality of the redundant church. When an alternative use is found, the diocese will send details to the Church Commissioners who, if they approve, (and they will again seek the advice of the Statutory Advisory Committee of the CBC) then prepare a redundancy scheme to authorise the disposal of the property for the suggested purpose. The scheme will be published in draft to give an opportunity for anyone to make representations to the Commissioners within a 28 day period, and if none are received, the scheme is sealed by the Commissioners and submitted to the Privy Council for confirmation. If any objections are received, the Commissioners may either accept or overrule them. There is no right of appeal to the Privy Council against the Commissioners decision.
Under the provisions of the Mission and Pastoral Measure, a redundancy scheme may not be prepared until six months have elapsed after the formal closure, but a scheme should normally be prepared within three years of that declaration. This period is known as the use-seeking period.
A redundancy scheme may provide for one of the following four options: Appropriate to a suitable alternative use. This might be almost anything: churches have been used for community purposes, worship by other Christian groups, private houses, sheltered housing, workshops, shops, offices, museums, theatres, auction rooms etc. A few proposed uses would be considered inappropriate licenced premises, gambling establishments and any broadly immoral purpose. Vesting in the Churches Conservation Trust for preservation in the interests of the nation. This course of action would normally only be followed if no suitable use could be found for a building and if the Statutory Advisory Committee of the CBC considered that the architectural quality and historical/archaeological interest of the church were sufficiently high. The funds available to the Trust are extremely limited, and they are at present in a position only to accept buildings of exceptional merit. Remain vested in the DBF as a ruin or controlled ruin. The choice between these four options is not a free one. Alternative use must normally be considered first, and, as stated above, a church may only be vested in the Trust if no acceptable alternative use can be found. Controlled ruination or demolition may only be considered if a church is judged to be below the acceptable standard for vesting.
The redundancy scheme would empower the Board of Finance to either sell, lease, or give away the building or site as appropriate to the circumstances of the alternative use.
If any sale proceeds result from the disposal of a redundant church, two thirds of the net amount (ie after payment of any fees, charges etc) go to the diocese and one third is retained by the Church Commissioners. The Commissioners use their portion to contribute towards the costs of the Churches Conservation Trust; the diocese uses its portion to make grants and loans for the repair of church buildings in the diocese. During the use-seeking period, the Board of Finance may without obtaining a faculty transfer the contents of the closed building temporarily to another place for safe keeping or, with faculty, dispose of them.
Planning and Listed Building Consent.
Local planning authorities do not exercise the usual listed building controls over churches in use (ecclesiastical exemption). However, listed building consent is required for works of alteration or extension to listed redundant churches. Planning permission is usually required for change of use. In other words, any proposals for an alternative use must satisfy the planners as well as the Statutory Advisory Committee of the CBC. Listed building consent is not required for the total or partial demolition of a redundant church provided that the demolition is carried out in pursuance of a scheme made under the Pastoral Measure.
If you have any queries regarding closed churches matters please contact the CCUC Secretary, Mr Bill Heslop at Cuthbert House, Stonebridge. DURHAM. DH1 3RY Telephone: 01388 660001 E-mail: email@example.com

Petitcodiac River, river in southeastern New Brunswick, Canada. About 60 miles (97 km) long, the river flows northeast and east and then south through a wide estuary (20 miles long) to Shepody Bay, an inlet of Chignecto Bay, and the northern extremity of the Bay of Fundy. A tidal bore or wave, 3–6 feet (1–2 metres) high at its crest, surges upward from the Bay of Fundy toward Moncton.

Bengal now number one in MSME sector, claims Mamata
Posted on Aug 05 2014 | IANS
Kolkata, Aug 4 : West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Monday claimed that the state was now number one in the country in the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) sector with over 35,000 new units set up over the last three years.
In a post on her Facebook page, Banerjee said the units have generated employment for nearly 320,000 people and the state recorded the highest credit disbursement worth Rs.35,000 crores.
The chief minister said the government has been organising business conclave 'Synergy' since September 2013 to provide more customized solutions to the MSME entrepreneurs through hand holding support and personalised guidance.
"Nearly 40,000 entrepreneurs visited the clinics, help desks and technology pavilions and bank loan worth hundreds of crores were sanctioned to nearly 1800 enterprises in this first-ever state level conclave."
She said in 2014, her government has adopted the strategy of taking Synergy closer to the field level and two regional Synergy conclaves were held at Siliguri in February and at Howrah Aug 1-2.
"Loans worth Rs.1,000 crore were sanctioned and investment proposals close to Rs.5,000 crore were received in the Synergy at Howrah," she added.

Nuclear cyber security debate hots up
Two companies that make digital systems for nuclear power plants have come out against a government proposal that would attach cyber security standards to plant safety systems.
The 15-page proposal, introduced last December by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), would rewrite the commission's "Criteria for Use of Computers in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Plants." The current version, written in 1996, is three pages long and makes no mention of security.
