Water mapping needs more cash
Relevant offers
Venture Southland will approach stakeholders for $3.55 million to advance the province's water-mapping project.
The committee released an initial $10,000 for the project in March, but was told yesterday the initial funding model would need to be reviewed.
Venture Southland enterprise and strategic projects group manager Steve Canny said the required funds would be 0.00355 per cent of the district's exports revenue.
"$4.2 billion of Southland's exports relate to the primary sector, this project would require $1.775 million per year for two years," Mr Canny said.
"This plan is vital for us in developing a long-term understanding of our aquifer systems."
The lack of good ground water knowledge was undermining investment confidence involving long term decisions in agricultural industries and portable water supplies, he said.
However, it is unknown where the remaining funds for the $3.55m project would be found.
Venture believed mapping ground water in the district would make it easier for investors to determine long-term plans for both mining and agriculture.
The proposed 3-D water mapping and geological model would also look at the potential for mineral extraction.

First and foremost you can't have a successful software-defined model if your team still have a hardware-defined mentality. Change is inevitable and whether it's embraced or not it will happen. For experienced CIOs this is not the first time they've experienced this technological and consequently cultural change in IT.
Question 1. Vendors are racing to lead the movement towards a software‐defined data centre. Where are we up to in this journey, and how far are we from seeing this trend widely adopted?
Considering most organizations have still not fully virtualized or moved towards a true Private Cloud model, SDDC is still in its infancy in terms of mainstream adoption and certainly won't be an overnight process. While typical early adopters are advancing quickly down the software-defined route these are mostly organizations with large scale multi-site data centers who are already mature in terms of their IT processes. Such large scale organizations are not the norm and while the SDDC is certainly on the mindset of senior IT executives, establishing such a model requires several key challenges and tasks.
Typical environments are still characterized by numerous silos, complex & static configurations and partially virtualized initiatives. Isolated component and operational silos need to be replaced with expertise that cover the whole infrastructure so that organizations can focus on defining their business policies. In this instance the converged infrastructure model is ideal as it enables the infrastructure to be managed, maintained and optimized as a single entity by a single silo. Subsequently such environments also need to dramatically rearrange their IT processes to accommodate features such as orchestration, automation, metering and billing as they all have a knock on effect to service delivery, activation and assurance as well as change management and release management procedures. The SDDC necessitates a cultural shift and change to IT as much as a technical one and the latter historically always takes longer. It could still be several years before we really see the SDDC be adopted widely but it's definitely being discussed and planned for the future.
Question 2. Looking at all the components of a data center, which one poses the most challenges to being virtualized and software-defined?
The majority of data center components have experienced considerable technological advancements in past few years. Yet in comparison to networking, compute and hypervisor, storage arrays still haven't seen that many drastic changes beyond new features of auto-tiering, thin-provisioning, deduplication and the introduction of EFDs. Moreover Software Defined's focus is applications and dynamically meeting the changing requirements of an application and service offering. Beyond quality of service monitoring based on IOPS and back-end / front-end processor utilization, there are still considerable limitations with storage arrays in terms of application awareness.
Additionally with automation being integral to a software-defined strategy that can dynamically shift resources based on application requirements, automation technologies within storage arrays are up to now still very limited. While storage features such as dynamic tiering may be automated, they are still not based on real-time metrics and consequently not responsive to real-time requirements.
This leads to the fact that storage itself has moved beyond the array and is now encompassed in numerous forms such as HDD, Flash, PCM and NVRAM etc. each with their own characteristics, benefits and challenges. As of yet the challenge is still to have a software layer that can abstract all of these various formats as a single resource pool. The objective should be that regardless of where these formats reside whether that's within the server, the array cache or the back end of the array, etc., they can still dynamically be shifted across platforms to meet application needs as well as provide resiliency and high availability.
Question 3. Why has there been confusion about how software-defined should be interpreted, and how has this effected the market?
Similar to when the Cloud concept first emerged in the industry, the understanding of the software-defined model quickly became somewhat blurred as marketing departments of traditional infrastructure vendors jumped on the bandwagon. While they were quick to coin the Software-Defined terminology to their offerings, there was little if anything different to their products or product strategy. This led to various misconceptions such as software- defined was just another term for Cloud, if it was virtualized it was software-defined or even more ludicrously that software-defined meant the non-existence or removal of hardware.
To elaborate, all hardware components need software of some kind to function but this does not necessitate them to be software-defined. For example Storage arrays use various software technologies such as replication, snapshotting, auto-tiering and dynamic provisioning. Some storage vendors even have the capability of virtualizing third party vendor arrays behind their own or via appliances and consequently abstracting the storage completely from the hardware whereby an end user is merely looking at a resource pool. But this in itself does not define the array as software defined and herein lies the confusion that some end users face as they struggle to understand the latest trend being directed at them by their C-level execs.
Question 4. The idea of a software-defined data center (virtualizing and automating the entire infrastructure wildly disrupts the make-up of a traditional IT team. How can CIOs handle the inevitable resistance some of their IT employees will make?
First and foremost you can't have a successful software-defined model if your team still have a hardware-defined mentality. Change is inevitable and whether it's embraced or not it will happen. For experienced CIOs this is not the first time they've experienced this technological and consequently cultural change in IT. There was resistance to change from the mainframe team when open systems took off, there was no such thing as a virtualisation team when VMware was first introduced and only now are we seeing Converged infrastructure teams being established despite the CI market being around for more than three years. For the traditional IT teams to accept this change they need to recognize how it will inevitably benefit them.
Market research is unanimous in its conclusion that currently IT administrators are far too busy doing maintenance tasks that involve firefighting "keeping the lights" on exercises. Generally figures point to a 77% mark of overall time spent for IT admin on doing mundane maintenance and routine tasks with very little time spent on innovation, optimization and focus of delivering value to the business. For these teams the software-defined model offers the opportunity to move away from such tasks and free up their time enabling them to be proactive as opposed to reactive. With the benefits of orchestration and automation, IT admin can focus on the things they are trained and specialized in such as delivering performance optimization, understanding application requirements and aligning their services and work to business value.
Question 5. To what extent does a software-defined model negate the need to deploy the public cloud? What effect will this have on the market?
The software defined model shouldn't and most likely won't negate the public cloud, if anything it will make its use case even clearer. The SDDC is a natural evolution of cloud, and particularly the private cloud. The private cloud is all about IT service consumption and delivery of IT services whether this be layered upon converged infrastructure or self assembled infrastructures. Those that have already deployed a private cloud and are also utilizing the public cloud have done so with the understanding and assessment of their data; it's security and most typically it's criticality. The software defined-model introduces a greater level of intelligence via software where application awareness and requirements linked to business service levels are met automatically and dynamically. Here the demand is being dictated by the workload and the software is the enabler to provision the adequate resources for that requirement.
Consequently organizations will have a greater level of flexibility and agility to previous private cloud and even public cloud deployments, thus providing more lucidity in the differentiation between the private and public cloud. Instead of needing to request from a cloud provider permission, the software defined model will provide organizations on-demand access to their data as well as independently dictate the level of security. While this may not completely negate the requirement for a public cloud, it will certainly diminish the immediate benefits and advantages associated with it.
Question 6. For CIOs looking for pure bottom-line incentives they can take to senior management, what is the true value of a software-defined infrastructure?
The true value of a software defined model is that it empowers IT to be a true business enabler. Most business executives still see IT as an expensive overhead as opposed to a business enabler. This is typically because of IT's inability to respond quicker to ever changing service requirements, market trends and new project roll-outs that the business demands. Much of this is caused by the deeply entrenched organizational silos that exist within IT where typical infrastructure deployments can take up to months. While converged infrastructure solutions have gone some way to solving this challenge, the software defined model builds on this by providing further speed and agility to the extent that organizations can encapsulate their business requirements into business delivery processes. In this instance infrastructure management processes become inherently linked to business rules that incorporate compliances, performance metrics and business policies. In turn via automation and orchestration these business rules dynamically drive and provision the infrastructure resources of storage, networking and compute in real time to the necessary workloads as the business demands it.
Question 7. To what extent will a software-defined infrastructure change the way end-users should approach security in the data centre?
A software-defined model will change the way data center security is approached in several ways. Traditional physical data center security architecture is renowned for being inflexible and complex due to its reliance on segmented numbers of dedicated appliances to provide numerous requirements such as load balancing, gateways, firewalls, wire sniffers etc. Within a software-defined model, security can potentially not only be delivered as a flexible and agile service but also as a feature that's built into the architecture. Whether that is based on an approach of security being embedded within the servers, storage or network, a software-defined approach has to take advantage of being able to dynamically distribute security policies and resources that are logically managed and scaled via a single pane.
From a security perspective a SDDC provides immediate benefits. Imagine how simplified it will become when automation can be utilized to restructure infrastructure components that have become vulnerable to security threats? Even the automation of isolating malware infected network end points will drastically simplify typical security procedures but will then consequently need to be planned for differently.
Part of that planning is acknowledging not just the benefits but the new types of risk they inevitably introduce. For example, abstracting the security control plane from the security processing and forwarding planes means that any potential configuration errors or security issues can have far more complex consequences than in the traditional data centre. Furthermore centralizing the architecture ultimately means a greater security threat should that central control be compromised. These are some of the security challenges that organizations will face and there are already movements in the software defined security space to cater for this.
Question 8. Where do you see the software-defined market going over the next couple of years?
The concept of the SDDC is going to gain even more visibility and acceptance within the industry and the technological advances that have already come about with Software-Defined Networking will certainly galvanize this. Vendors that have adopted the software-defined tagline will have to mature their product offerings and roadmaps to fit such a model as growing industry awareness will empower organizations to distinguish between genuine features and marketing hyperbole.
For organizations that have already heavily virtualized and built private clouds the SDDC is the next natural progression. For those that have adopted the converged infrastructure model this transition will be even easier as they will have already put the necessary IT processes and models in place to simplify their infrastructure as a fully automated, centrally managed and optimized baseline from which the SDDC will emanate from. It is fair to say that it won't be a surprise to see a lot of the organizations that embraced the converged infrastructure model to also be the pioneers of a successful SDDC.

Up until last year, enterprises that were looking into cloud services usually undertook a long-term pilot with one of the large cloud providers, running test and dev workloads in the cloud. With cloud's transition to mainstream adoption in 2015, and with enterprises migrating more and more workloads into the cloud and in between public and private environments, the single-provider approach must be revisited. In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Yoav Mor, multi-cloud solution evangelist at Cloudy...

Mandriva Linux 2006 Download Edition
I have used and written about Mandriva (formerly Mandrake) for sometime. Mandriva Limited Edition 2005 was a tremendous release that gave hope that the Linux desktop was just around the corner. Mandriva has purchased Conectiva and Lycoris and was rumored to be incorporating the best of their technology and yet I downloaded the latest version of Mandriva and was quite disappointed.
The ease of installing from DVD is great, but there seems to be a lack of many of the features. Multimedia suffers slightly without Mplayer or RealPlayer while Firefox contains none of the plugins found in 2005. Want Java, Flash or any other plugins...install them. Personally, I have no problem doing so, however for someone that is a newbie to Linux, this might be more than they had bargained for!

Review: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)
When we get to our Conclusion, we always find recent Ubuntu releases a little difficult to summarize. This is probably because each new release does not really bring major changes to the table anymore, rather they all seem to feel like just another update. In truth, that's all they really are. But when third-party Linux distributions continue to innovate and give their users something fresh each time a new release is delivered, we can't help but wonder why Ubuntu Developers can not achieve the same. Yet we can not quite put our finger on what Canonical are doing wrong. Essentially, they're not really doing anything wrong. They are just not really offering anything fresh, new or innovative anymore.

This week's albums include offerings from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Sarah McLachlan and Renee Fleming.
Share via Email
Mojo (Reprise/Warner)
(out of 4)
After three decades together, it would be easy for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers to slide into the greatest hits groove, the way the Eagles have, and to rake in the money, without risking disapproval with new recordings that may or may not live up to their glorious past.
But if you're looking for faults you won't find one on this 15-track, 65-minute masterpiece, a worthy addition to the Petty/Heartbreakers canon and a showcase for some of the finest instrumental performances in American roots-rock recording history.
Mojo is eerily retro in spirit but thoroughly and joyfully contemporary in style, thanks largely to Petty's vivid narratives and resonant road yarns and to the stunning confidence exhibited by his band. These rock veterans clearly revel in having all the time they need to stretch out and to display a breathtaking array of musical skills, without wasting a single note, or falling into the pits of vanity and excess.
Each song is a revelation, from the driving opener, "Jefferson Jericho Blues," with its propulsive harp/guitar riff and lyrics that reflect scornfully on Thomas Jefferson's dalliance with one of his female slaves, to the loping, dreamlike "Trip To Pirate's Cove," an unsettling memory of a California road trip, from the vaguely British waltz-time prog-rock of "First Flash of Freedom" to the Muddy Waters-ish "Takin' My Time," with its plaintive observance of the effects of passing years.
It would be hard to find a better road-trip album than Mojo. The combination of relentless forward motion, rear-view reflection and in-the-moment bravado is compelling and infectious.
Greg Quill
SARAH McLACHLAN
Laws Of Illusion (Nettwerk)
Lush and romantic, redolent with the agony of a marriage gone wrong and giddy with the discovery of the possibilities of new love, McLachlan's Laws of Illusion deserves points for its candour and evidence of self-discovery — mind you, it's still no Jagged Little Pill — and for the Nova Scotia native's plaintive delivery, complete with a perfect sufficiency of affecting end-of-phrase yodels.
The production, by Pierre Marchand, is typically full and lavishly ornamented with orchestral effects, but it can't hide a dissatisfying bloodlessness in the songs themselves.
Apart from the jaunty "Loving You Is Easy," there's not much here in the way of melody, and way too many clichés passing as ruminative poetry; references to moths and flames and candles burning, the chorus tag line "You light me up and take me higher," and an abundance of steamy bodice-ripper metaphors throughout suggest McLachlan hasn't worked her way to the heart of this material. It's all a bit adolescent.
Fans will love it, of course.
Dark Hope (Decca)
(out of 4)
In the later seasons of the original Bewitched series on TV, sweet Samantha acquired a look-alike cousin, Serena, who was up to no good. That's what opera superstar diva Renée Fleming's new pop album feels like. The blowsy face on the cover of Dark Hope kinda looks like Fleming, but this woman is up to no good. Instead of the classical singer's ringing soprano, we get a world-weary chest voice tackling an eclectic collection of 11 pop covers from the past four decades (including songs by Peter Gabriel, Jefferson Airplane, Mars Volta and Death Cab for Cutie). In the choppy, sometimes uninflected snippets of melody, you can practically hear the sighs of lassitude punctuating the artful, deceptively simple-sounding arrangements overseen by producer David Kahne. Every pop singer has to sing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" these days, and Fleming can't resist turning it into a ballad of desperation. This is a Renée the opera world will never meet, but are pop listeners ready to hear her bleak take on Arcade Fire's "Intervention"? I'm not so sure.

La Différence (Emarcy Records)
(out of 4)
The great West African singer Salif Keita was born an albino — literally a white man among blacks. His father disowned him and at 60, despite global success, Keita still struggles with self-acceptance. "I'm a white man, my blood is black, I love that, it's the difference that is beautiful," he sings unconvincingly if melodically in French on the title track. Plaintive, searching, emotionally rich — Keita's voice remains transcendent even as it stretches for high notes once easily reached. With Moffou of 2002 and M'Bemba of 2006, La Différence completes a trilogy of acoustic works, highlighted in this case by a female vocal chorus and the introduction of such instruments as the Middle Eastern oud. Salif Keita is to perform at Queen's Park free as part of the Luminato festival Saturday, June 19 at 9 p.m.

Two big symphony orchestras tackle two great works from World War II by 20th century Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich with passionate conviction. Both discs earn :
TORONTO SYMPHONY/OUNDJIAN Symphony No. 7 "Leningrad" (TSO Live): It's been a long wait since the Toronto Symphony's spine-tingling 2008 live performance at Roy Thomson Hall, captured here for posterity. Music director Peter Oundjian masterfully builds and releases tension in this viscerally and emotionally engaging interpretation, and his musicians respond in kind. This fourth recording on the TSO's own label is its best yet, including improved sound balance over earlier efforts. This isn't easy listening, but it's a keeper.
ROYAL LIVERPOL PHILHARMONIC/PETRENKO Symphony No. 8 (Naxos): Liverpool music director Vasily Petrenko has an iron grasp of this tense, five-movement symphony. This is a focused, penetrating outing slightly let down by a blurred, soft-edged sound that I would not have expected from Liverpool's Philharmonic Hall.

(May 15, 2014) -- The UTSA Libraries has launched a dynamic virtual exhibit to honor Gebhardt Mexican Foods Co., a San Antonio business that revolutionized chili powder and Mexican convenience foods across the country for almost a century.
>> View the online exhibit at the UTSA Libraries website.
The zesty virtual exhibit represents an historical journey that follows the popularization of chili powder and Mexican cookery, taking the viewer through the twists and turns that resulted from one man's vision to offer America something it had never tasted before. The exhibit highlights this progression in a digitally designed format that provides multimedia through text, photographs and original advertisements that serve as the backdrop for the uniquely engaging experience.
The San Antonio firm started in 1896 with Willie Gebhardt's passion for cooking and his infatuation with Mexican food. Shortly after opening a restaurant in New Braunfels, Gebhardt relocated his business to the Alamo City and began pursuing his dream of offering novel tastes beyond the Lone Star State.
Gebhardt achieved his dream by importing ancho peppers from Mexico to produce a fine and tasteful chili powder that added "That Real Mexican Tang" to any dish. His company published Mexican cookbooks and went on to promote other products such as canned chili, canned beans, deviled sandwich spread and Mexican dinners-in-a-box. Through impressive marketing in radio commercials, and newspaper and magazine advertisements, the company was able to achieve critical acclaim, and the Gebhardt name became synonymous with Mexican cookery across America.
In 1989, the UTSA Libraries Special Collections acquired the Gebhardt Mexican Foods Co. records to preserve and share this extraordinary chapter from San Antonio's culinary history. The exhibit was created with the goal of making it more accessible to the general public by establishing a new experience that could be appreciated by a broad audience.
While Gebhardt's famous chili powder can still be found on the shelves of some grocery stores in Texas and reportedly in Southern California, the company itself no longer exists. The UTSA Libraries collection may some day be the public's only connection to the once beloved family-owned company.
"Anyone interested in the history of the popularization of Mexican food in the United States will enjoy experiencing this unique collection from the comfort of their own computer," said Anne Peters, communications director for the UTSA Libraries.
The UTSA Libraries Special Collections preserves the legacies of San Antonio and South Texas through a rich array of primary resources. Strengths of the collections -- which are open to academic and casual researchers alike -- include San Antonio history, urban development and architecture, regional authors, Mexican cookery, women and women's history, and the Texas-Mexico border region.

Scientists have found the wonder chemical GW-501516 that is increasingly becoming popular in the athletic field, despite its banned status. Many athletes buy gw-501516 because it burns stored fats, develops muscle mass, elevates the level of good cholesterol and reduces the level of bad cholesterol.
Mechanism of Action
GW-501516 stimulates the Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPARδ). Its action is similar to the effects of exercise without the sweat.
A clinical study shows adult mice that ingested the drug displayed nearly twice the endurance from the level prior to the experiment.
Benefits of the Chemical GW-501516
The main appeal of the drug to athletes is the increase in endurance. Reports show that consumers buy gw-501516 because it brings remarkable results with a daily dose of 10-20 mg. It lures the athletes by its potential to give them an advantage in the sports arena.
Another reason for its popularity is its ability to dissolve fats fast while retaining your muscles. Increasing the dosage to 20 mgs per day, at least 30 minutes prior to exercise will hasten the fat loss mechanism. For maximum results, take one dose of the drug in the morning and another after 12 hours.
GW-501516 prevents onset of diabetes by increasing the sensitivity of cells to insulin. The increase of free fatty acids in the circulation stimulates inflammatory system resulting in hindrance to insulin absorption.
It also shows a potential prevention of diseases associated with neurologic inflammation such as dementia and Alzheimer.
Heart disease can be due to faulty synthesis of fatty acids and carbohydrates in the body. Since GW-501516 aids the body in the proper metabolism, thereby preventing cardiovascular problems.
A study on its role in repairing the cells of an injured liver has shown promising results. Research is continuous in the hope of discovering the therapeutic properties of GW-501516.
Side-Effects of GW-501516
The issue on the side-effects of the drug is controversial. Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK) claims that it causes tumor development in rats. On the contrary, there is no evidence of harmful reactions with human trials. Some unfavorable effects include palpitations and irregular heartbeat.
Many online vendors offer easy access for people to buy gw-501516. It is important for researchers to identify and transact with legitimate sources. The key to getting this drug without the hassles and legal impediments is to conduct a thorough review of the available providers. Another strategy is to visit online forums to view comments and possible complaints from customers. It is also essential to check the reputation of the company and their years of existence in the business. The website should also have informative and interactive features for the users. Furthermore, it should be capable of providing safe and prompt delivery of the chemical. You should check if their services are accessible even after the sales transaction.
The unregulated market for several hormones and drug of this kind are thriving because there are people willing to take the risk. Most of the sites intend to sell the products to laboratory researchers and scientists, but they cater to individuals buying the investigational drugs. Despite the undetermined effects on humans, some people are ready to take their chances. Reports say that there are buyers who try the chemical with a mouse for a few weeks before ingesting it.
Many concerned groups advocate strict policies on the distribution of the research chemicals. According to them, when customers buy gw-501516, they should undergo screening. This should include the nature of work or business to ensure that the chemical will only be for laboratory research purposes.
Government agencies have issued disapproval in the use of GW-501516. The increasing incidence of experimenting with the drug is a pressing concern for anti-doping organizations.

Ian Begley: There's been some social media chatter about Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis visiting the Hospital for Special Surgery recently. I'm told he went to the hospital to get his shoulder checked out before leaving for Latvia. It was a routine visit and part of his exit physical, which all players undergo. Porzingis missed the final 7 games of the season due to a shoulder strain. He said he wouldn't leave New York until it was fully healed. So it's a good sign that he's headed to Latvia.

"Porzingod'' was made by brothers Tyler and Conor Byrne, New York City filmmakers in their late 20s who grew up tasting the glory of the 1990s Knicks. It stars John Leguizamo, a frequent guest on Madison Square Garden's celebrity row, and Adam Mucci.
Jackson said he believes there's more to sell than last summer, when coming off a 17-win campaign with rookie phenom Kristaps Porzingis then a relative unknown except in Latvia and Seville, Spain. The Knicks president also will peddle the 15-game increase in victories that brought them to 32-50. "We're talking about a team in the making," Jackson said. "We've had so many people come up to us and say they really want to play for a guy like KP, which is a nice thing to hear from various agents who have players who want to play with a young guy who's progressing, who has ability to rise in this league, So we feel we have an attractive product here."
Kristaps Porzingis told The Post his goal for next season is to come to Knicks training camp at 245 pounds, which he hopes will give him more staying power. Porzingis ended the season at about 233 pounds after starting the season at 239. He had put on 11 pounds from the time he got drafted to the onset of training camp last October.
According to a source, Porzingis had hoped soon after the season ended to take off for his home in Latvia and then visit friends in Seville, where he played three seasons in Spain. But the Knicks have asked him to delay the journey until they know his shoulder is healed, so he may be in town for another few weeks. "I'll stay here until I'm 100 percent,'' Porzingis said.
