"People will still be predicting the end of middleware ten years from now!" stated Cedric Thomas, CEO of OW2, in this exclusive Q&A with Cloud Expo Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan. "The Internet has fostered the use of simple, robust protocols," Thomas continued. "That middleware we used to know, when information systems were organized in silos is no longer center stage."
Cloud Computing Journal: Why in your view is open source so important to the future of infrastructure?
Cedric Thomas: The infrastructure is typically what is shared by different users, different applications, different information systems, different companies. People want an infrastructure that is generic, standard, robust and scalable; an infrastructure that they can trust and that they can share. From that perspective, open source is the right model: users, and the economy in general, are much more efficient with shared open source software than with many proprietary vendors. Open source maximizes the network effects in the writing, the testing, the debugging and the support of code and delivers infrastructure software that is generally more reliable.
Cloud Computing Journal: How does the open source community engage with OW2.org, what's the process?
Thomas: OW2 is an independent non-profit open source organization, founded six years ago, that belongs to, and is controlled by its community. We currently support some 100 open source projects through three types of services. First, we provide a technical platform that delivers collaborative services to project teams; second, we run a governance system that is both a framework for making decisions and a catalyst for social and business interaction; and third we provide communication and branding services to help develop the visibility and market awareness of our projects.
Cloud Computing Journal: What are the most popular projects that you have right now?
Thomas: We measure this with our download statistics. In 2012, our top downloads include several popular generic application platforms such as Bonita, a workflow/BPMN platform; XWiki, a wiki platform; SpagoBI, a BI platform; JOnAS, an application server; and eXo Platform, a cloud-ready enterprise portal. In the top we also have the Orbeon Presentation Server, the Petals Enterprise Service Bus, LemonLDAP::NG, a single sign on manager for web-based applications and ASM, a popular Java byte code manipulator.
Cloud Computing Journal: You will be launching the CompatibleOne open source cloud broker at Cloud Expo 2012West: can you explain CompatibleOne succinctly?
Thomas: CompatibleOne is a cloud service management software with brokering capabilities. CompatibleOne allows us to provision, deploy and manage any type of cloud services (from IAAS to PAAS) in compliance to specific customer constraints and their related Service Level Agreement (SLA). More specifically, we can automate the provisioning of complex cloud services from different cloud environments and from heterogeneous technologies, whether open source or proprietary. Moreover, CompatibleOne offers services such as auto-scalabiliy to support any kind of workload and it allows energy optimization, an increasingly important feature required by cloud services providers.
Technically, CompatibleOne relies on a cloud services description model called CORDS and a run-time platform called ACCORDS. At Cloud Expo 2012 Silicon Valley, we will give demonstrations showing how the ACOORDS platform delivers the cloud brokerage services we just mentioned.
Cloud Computing Journal: People have been predicting The End of Middleware for almost a decade. What would you say to such people today?
Thomas: People will still be predicting the end of middleware ten years from now! The Internet has fostered the use of simple, robust protocols. That middleware we used to know, when information systems were organized in silos is no longer center stage. However, the evolution toward cloud computing is triggering a new wave of innovation in infrastructure software. Call it middleware or cloudware, this kind of infrastructure software is here to stay.

OTTAWA Canada will pull out of the Kyoto protocol on climate change, Environment Minister Peter Kent said on Monday, dealing a symbolic blow to the troubled global treaty.
Canada will become the first country to formally withdraw from Kyoto, which it says is badly flawed because it does not cover all major emitters of greenhouse gasses, notably the United States and China.
The news came as little surprise, especially since Kent said last month that "Kyoto is the past." The right-of-center Conservatives took power in 2006 and made it clear they would not stick to Canada's Kyoto commitments.
"As we've said, Kyoto for Canada is in the past ... We are invoking our legal right to formally withdraw from Kyoto," Kent told reporters after returning from talks in Durban, South Africa, on extending the protocol.
He gave no details on when exactly Ottawa would pull out, but said Canada would be subject to enormous financial penalties under the terms of the treaty unless it withdrew.
The announcement will do little to help Canada's growing reputation as an international renegade on the climate. Green groups awarded the country their Fossil of the Year award for its performance in Durban.
Ottawa says it backs a new global deal to cut emissions of greenhouse gases, but insists it has to cover all nations, including China and India, which are not bound by Kyoto's current targets.
Canada's former Liberal government signed on to Kyoto, which obliged the country to cut emissions to 6 percent below 1990 levels by 2012. By 2009 emissions were 17 percent above the 1990 levels.
Kent says the Liberals should not have signed up to a treaty they had no intention of respecting.
Environmentalists quickly blasted Kent for his comments.
"Mr. Kent does not understand what he is sentencing our children to. Catastrophic climate change will cost them far more," said John Bennett, executive director of the Sierra Club Canada.

16330 Gulf Blvd, Redington Beach, FL 33708
ReviewsApril 2016 - We had a WONDERFUL time at 301 Redington Place!! The condo was GREAT - perfect size for a family of 4. It was very clean, and we appreciated the cards, puzzles and games (we left one additional game intentionally!), along with the beach chairs and buckets/shovels. The location was also perfect! Having access to the pool AND the beach right there was terrific, and the water/sand was clean, beautiful and fun, with just enough waves to be fun but not dangerous. The kids saw dolphins and rays, which was so very cool! It felt VERY private, which we loved. We walked to The Conch Republic for dinner more than once, and it was really good, and kid friendly. Nice recommendation! We drove one day to Busch Gardens (about 45 minutes), and another day to St. Pete's (about 25 min) to the Dali Museum, which had a lovely kids audio version, so my husband and I could enjoy some culture. We also went to the Fort at St. Pete's to kayak, which was a great decision since we say 4 manatees and even were able to pet one!
My only constructive feedback was that the master bath shower had a broken shower door on arrival, so we had to be super careful that it didn't fall off. Otherwise, it was a really great location and great unit!!!!!
Thank you for a wonderful experience all around - I'm always a bit nervous that an "untested" experience would go well, and everything - from gaining access to the unit, to towel, to all of the pre-info - was spot on. Thank you!!! This was truly a memorable, relaxing vacation for us, and we needed it!!
March 2016 - Our family of 3 stayed at Redington Place 301 for spring break this year. The unit was exactly as described, comfortable, clean and well-equipped. The views from our beachfront balcony were spectacular! The only suggestion we have is to add room darkening blinds to the guest bedroom, as our teenage son would have preferred to sleep in past the sunrise. :)
The condo complex was small and quiet - a pleasant surprise for that time of year. There were several restaurants close to the condo, we even walked to dinner a couple of times. We are already looking forward to our next vacation and hope that this unit is an option! Thanks again!
December 2015 - The unit was clean and orderly when we checked in. The process of changing our pass code a breeze. The unit was well stocked with pots/pans/cutlery/plates/silverware/towels/bedding, etc. The appliances (washer/dryer, toaster, mixer, and blender were in fine working order. We greatly appreciated the board games, cooler, and beach chairs. The information about the Clearwater area was very helpful as was the little note book with previous vacationers leaving their thoughts. We added some of our own. The Wi-Fi worked great and the TV remotes/cable worked great as well. The pool and pool area was clean and well maintained. The unit does have some minor issues with some cracks in the tile in the master bath, chipped edges on the bottom of some doors, and the carpets are a bit worn. Other than that no complaints what so ever, The morning of our last day we made sure everything was back the way we found it and followed the checkout procedures as specified. All and all from the time I booked to the time we checked out everything went very well. Thanks for providing a wonderful experience. I have no problem recommending your services.
October 2015 - Really enjoyed our stay at Redington Place! The unit is quiet, in a great location and very well maintained. We enjoyed having our coffee on the balcony each morning, especially the days that we were entertained by the dolphins. Would definitely recommend this unit to friends and family. Hopefully it will be available again next year.
April 2015 - We enjoyed our stay at Redington Place immensely! This was our 2nd. consecutive year at Redington and would definitely consider making it three in a row next year. This year, my wife and I brought along our son and his wife and they were elated with our condo unit also. In fact, they are ready to move to the area and leave the Chicago area forever! The unit was very clean with ample supplies of towels, sheets, dishes, etc. The bedrooms are large enough for maximum comfort and the modern TVs in the rooms were a nice added touch. The furniture was very comfortable, even the balcony chairs with their cushions. Another great feature about Redington Place: It's very quiet - both inside and outside of the unit. The pool area was very nice and we spent more time around it than on the beach.The location of Redington Place is perfect for us as all of our favorite restaurants are within no more than a 5 minute drive (even walking distance for a couple of them).Looking forward to next year. Thanks for a great stay,
November 2014 - Such a great time! We enjoyed our stay here so much. Place was very clean when we arrived, comfortable , roomy & everything in order---great location, property kept immaculate. Had a special treat one day of dolphins playing for a long time right near the beach. We hope it is available again next year around this time if it is what we decide to do for our girls week away.
OverviewWatch the Sun Melt into the Gulf from Bright and Cheery Oceanfront!
** Month of February may not be rented without month of January if January is not already rented **
Picture yourself sitting on your private balcony watching the sun melt into the Gulf and the sky ablaze with color. Or lounge beside the recently refurbished beachside pool basking in the rays to the rhythm of the waves. This bright and cheery condo offers all this and more! The oceanfront balcony is directly off the great room and offers spectacular views of the Gulf of Mexico whether you are sitting at the stylish dining table, relaxing on the sofa, or washing dishes in the kitchen. To keep you entertained, the great room features a flat screen TV, a large library of books, and board games in the closet. The kitchen is both sunny and serviceable with a kitchen nook and everything you need to prepare your meals while taking in the view. The master bedroom is furnished with a king size bed and an adjoining bathroom. The second bedroom is suited with two twin beds. This charming property comfortably sleeps four. There is also a second bathroom with a tub/shower combination. To add to your comfort and convenience, this beachfront getaway also includes cable, internet access, free long distance, in unit washer & dryer, assigned covered parking and a ground floor storage facility with beach gear (chairs, floats, beach toys).
The intimate Redington Place complex offers the peace and quiet of smaller complex, a beautifully refurbished pool and deck, a fishing pier just a few steps down the beach, and a strategic location directly across the street to Redington Beach Town Park. When your kids tire of splashing in the pool head over to the park equipped with a children's play area, basketball and shuffleboard courts, and a pavilion with a grill.
This quaint little beach community is only about a 1 square mile size and bordered by North Redington Beach to the north, Madeira Beach to the south and the Intracoastal Waterway to the east. The Redington Place complex is centrally located within a half-hour drive of Clearwater Beach, a little over a half-hour from Tampa, and only 15 minutes away from St Pete Beach with all they have to offer. You are a short drive from fishing, outstanding golf, shopping, fabulous dining, art galleries, sporting events (Bucs, Rays) and even thrill rides (Busch Gardens).
With just a few clicks this picturesque dream can materialize into your own incredible beach vacation!
** February cannot be rented without renting January also IF January is not already reserved **

The former chief financial officer of Dutch bank ABN Amro has been found dead
with shotgun wounds near his home in Surrey, the
has reported.
Huibert Gerard Boumeester was found dead yesterday, Sunday, with shotgun
wounds, one week after being reported missing and "vulnerable". Reports claim he
was found with two shotguns which he had brought from his home, though Thames
Valley Police say his death is currently being treated as "unexplained".
Boumeester, 49, left his role as CFO encompassing responsibility for
group-wide finance, risk management, investor relations, communications and
strategic decision support in March 2008 citing "personal reasons" six months
after ABN Amro was bought by Fortis, Royal Bank of Scotland and Santander. The
Dutch government now owns Fortis Bank and has taken direct ownership of its
stake in ABN Amro. The British government owns most of RBS.
An ABN Amro careerist who joined over 20 years previously as a management
trainee, Boumeester had served on the management board prior to his appointment
as CFO and had been the board member responsible for the group's merger and
acquisition portfolio and group risk management and served as chief executive of
ABN Amro Asset Management. Latterly he was a director at ABN Amro Asset
Management, Montag & Caldwell and Artemis Investment Management.
There are suggestions that Boumeester took his own life, echoing the apparent
suicide of
Mac CFO David Kellerman just two months ago.

Interview with editor of Iodine Poetry Journal
Recently I asked poet, editor, painter and publisher, Jonathan Kevin Rice for an interview. I was pleased with his response. After reading his remarks, I find that I have much in common with him, his likes and how he spends his time. He also has a sense of humor.
I appreciate him taking the time to answer my questions.
Glenda Beall: Thank you, Jonathan, for taking time to answer my questions.
Tell us, please, about your family and where you live and work?
Jonathan Rice: I live with my wife and youngest son in the University area of Charlotte, NC. I'm a working artist and editor/publisher. I manage to make a few bucks doing that.
Glenda: Your education was in religious studies. Are you a minister or have you been a minister?
Jonathan: I am not a minister, although many years ago I worked with an inner-city ministry. That was a very busy and fulfilling time working with families in public housing, elderly, as well as the homeless and incarcerated. I became a bit burned-out though and moved on to other things.
Glenda: I know you have been editor and publisher of IodinePoetry journal since 2000. Why did you begin this publication?
Jonathan: Around that time I was getting published in small press mags and, upon looking at the various inexpensive (and sometimes cheap) formats, I thought, "I can do this!" So I went to my good friend Scott Douglass, editor and publisher of The Main Street Rag and Main Street Rag Publishing. I told him my idea, so with a few hundred bucks I started Iodine as a 32 page saddle-stitched mag with a card stock cover, priced at $4. I was also hosting readings at the time. It was a year into those readings when I decided to start Iodine, so getting poetry was easy. Much of what was in that first issue was poetry I heard at the mic. I hosted the readings for fifteen years until the café closed. I miss that café (Jackson's Java) and those readings.
Glenda: Iodine has published some notable poets over the years. Tell us about them and some of the universities that subscribe to Iodine.
Jonathan: Well, some of those poets found us, like Virgil Suarez, for example. I never knew what was going to be in the mail box. Also, I was always meeting poets at readings and conferences, so I made it a habit of asking them to submit. Not everyone did, but those who did helped to make Iodine what it is.
A letter or email goes a long way in reaching out to poets to submit as well. I was thrilled to publish work by Fred Chappell, someone I greatly admire. He was kind enough to write a blurb for my collection, "Ukulele and Other Poems."
We've published Kim Bridgford, Peter Cooley, Kim Garcia, Jaki Shelton Green, Colette Inez, Ron Koertge, Dorianne Laux, Karen An-Hwei Lee & R.T. Smith.
We have poetry by Kim Addonizio, Cynthia Atkins, Joseph Bathanti, Patrick Bizzaro, Cathy Smith Bowers, Mary Carroll-Hackett, Okla Elliott, Jane Ellen Glasser, Lola Haskins, Peter Makuck, John Stanizzi, Shelby Stephenson, John Tribble & Virgil Suarez among many other emerging and established poets slated for our final issue.
Ron Koertge's poem "Found" was selected for inclusion in Best American Poetry 2006.
A handful of university libraries subscribe, such as Brown University, Davidson College, Furman University, University of Arizona's Poetry Center, University of Buffalo (SUNY), University of North Carolina at Chapel, University of Wisconsin at Madison and a few others. Iodine is also archived at The Poets House in NYC.
Glenda: Many poets will be disappointed that you are discontinuing Iodine.
Jonathan: Actually, just picked up the last issue a few days ago. I have other things I'd like to do. I would like to have more time to write and paint, but I couldn't say no to being offered a co-editor slot of KAKALAK 2016, so I'm still wearing the editor's hat. I also do some select reading for Main Street Rag, so I'm staying busy. I thought about exploring the possibility of transitioning Iodine to an online mag in 2017, but that idea is pretty low on my priority list, if I go there.
Glenda: In 2002, you co-edited a chapbook, Celebrating Life, a project funded by Barnes and Noble. Tell us about it, please.
Jonathan: This was a little anthology of poetry that was put together in honor of Dorothy Perry Thompson, who was a wonderful poet and instructor at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, SC.
Glenda: Your latest poetry book is titled Killing Time. Interesting title.
Jonathan: My publisher, Scott Douglass at Main Street Rag, had been bugging me for the past few years (maybe longer) to put a new collection together. My last book came out in 2006, so I was a bit overdue for a new book. It just wasn't high on my priority list, but I bumped it up the list after a lot of prodding from him and other friends.
I took a variety of work from the past nine years and assembled it, hoping Scott would like it. I sent it to him and I was pleased that he suggested few edits, so I felt like I must have done something right. I blame the title…or should I say give credit to Scott, because he would call me from time to time wondering what I was doing (as if I wasn't doing anything), and, more often than not, I would say Killing Time.
Glenda: You won the Irene Blair Honeycutt Legacy Award. That is not for writing or painting, is it? How did you feel about receiving this recognition?
Jonathan: That award is given to individuals for "outstanding service in support of local and regional writers," so that was basically for my editing/publishing Iodine for so long along with the hosting of readings in the area all these years, which I still do. I was surprised and very honored to receive this award. The literary community in Charlotte and the state is by and large a very supportive one.
Glenda: You are a visual artist, also.Tell us about that part of your life. When did you begin painting?
Jonathan: I began painting in high school, but my interests were all over the place, so I didn't paint continuously over the years. I had some art instruction in high school, but I have basically learned from other artists and from just doing. I had always been attracted to abstract work and loved the art of Robert Motherwell, de Kooning, Pollock, Rauschenberg and others, so I naturally was drawn to experiment in that realm. I also painted seascapes, beach scenes, some landscape, although they were a little abstract. I just prefer to work in the abstract. I paint practically every day, although lately I've been pretty busy with the poetry side of things and doing readings around the state.
Glenda: At one point you began using your own paintings for the covers of Iodine. Why did you do that and how was that idea received by your subscribers?
Jonathan: Five years into editing the magazine, Scott had suggested we do a full color cover for the five year anniversary edition, which he designed from a surreal image of me, that another friend had created from a photograph. I call that cover the Warhol-Peter Max cover. Scott did a great job designing that. After that issue came out, readers said, "You can't go back now!" Nobody wanted me to go back to the simple card stock covers and some friends suggested I start putting my art on the cover, so I did. Readers loved it. Not long after that I set up a studio in a local gallery and I was painting more, and selling my work. The covers brought new attention to my visual art.
Glenda: Which do you most enjoy, painting or writing poetry?
Jonathan: I can't say I enjoy one over the other. John Lee Hooker once said, "If the boogie is in you, it's gotta come out." That's how I feel about the creative act. Whatever is in me has to come out, whether it's on the page or canvas.
Glenda: With more free time, where do you plan to exert your energies?
Jonathan: Free time? I exert it with the stuff that I do, like answering these questions for you in this interview.
I always have something to do: walking my dog in the woods (the most important thing I do at the beginning of the day), reading, writing, editing, painting, booking readings, hosting readings, going to readings, art exhibits, booking exhibits, marketing my art, doing coffee with friends, wine with friends, beer with friends, etc etc. I am very fortunate to have wonderful friends in the arts. I try to look at everything I do from a creative aspect. Everything I experience leads to the next creative act.
Glenda: Can you tell us something personal that is not in your bio?
Jonathan: I love music. I play guitar. I'm not great at it, but I love to play and sing. I love listening to music and I love live music, whether it's a busker on a street corner or a band in an arena. Love it all.
Glenda: Thank you, Jonathan. I like the humor in your answers. I feel I know you, and you and I have much in common.
Jonathan Rice will teach a poetry and poetry marketing workshop at Writers Circle around the Table in Hayesville, NC on June 11, 10:00 - 1:00 p.m.
Contact Glenda Beall at 828-389-4441 or email@example.com for more information. You may go to www.glendacouncilbeall.com for a class description and fees.

Learning science and learning technology: Finding a place for cultural psychology
Abstract:Sociocultural vocabulary is shown to have become increasingly visible within psychology publications since the early 1990s. It is suggested that this form of theorizing has been particularly influential within the literature of the new learning sciences. Yet the meaning of concepts imported from cultural psychology needs careful scrutiny: particularly when deriving implications about how best to design actual resources and contexts for learning. The problems arising from nuances of meaning are discussed here in relation to terms such as 'tools', 'community' and 'situated'. It is suggested that the significance of such terms should be considered against the genetic background that a cultural perspective also promotes. The central sociocultural concept of 'practice' is shown to be helpful particularly for interpreting the sometimes disappointing outcome of learning interventions involving new technology.

Abu Dhabi National Energy Company, also known as TAQA, has announced that initial flows of crude oil have resumed in the Brent pipeline system following a precautionary shutdown on Monday.
The pipeline system, which is operated by TAQA and runs through the Cormorant Alpha platform, was halted after hydrocarbons were detected inside one of the platform's legs.
The process of restarting the Brent pipeline system followed a thorough technical evaluation and safety assessment, TAQA said in a statement.
The Cormorant Alpha platform normally handles about 90,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil feeding the Brent pipeline system, including approximately 10,000 bpd of Cormorant Alpha production.
Crude oil flows in the Brent pipeline system are expected to rise to approximately 80,000 bpd as other platforms in the Brent system return to normal operations, it added.
Cormorant Alpha production remains closed while evaluations and work on the platform leg continues, TAQA said.
"The hydrocarbons released are fully contained within the Cormorant Alpha platform leg, and there has been no leak to the external environment. Work so far has mitigated the release and plans are being assessed for the repair of the affected line, which is not connected to the Brent pipeline system," the statement said.
Cormorant Alpha is operated by TAQA Bratani Ltd and is located 232 miles from Peterhead, Scotland and 94 miles from Lerwick in the Shetland Islands.
It also handles oil from the Dunlin, Thistle, Northern producer, Murchison, North Alwyn, Tern, Eider and North Cormorant Platforms.
The Brent System is responsible for transporting oil from around 20 North Sea oilfields, accounting for about 37 percent of the Sullom Voe Terminal input and around 8 percent of British offshore oil production.

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization).

Look at a world map and shift your gaze all the way to the bottom until you get to Australia. Scroll down a little further until you see the small, kind of heart-shaped island known as Tasmania. That's where you're going…well, more specifically, you're going to the capital city of Hobart.
Go there to drink the smoothest wine and eat the freshest seafood. Go there to ride a mountain bike as fast as you can down a mountain. Go there to swim naked at the start of the winter solstice. Go there because you deserve a holiday!
Check out Wotif's fantastic offers on Hobart hotel deals and book now.
Planning Your Trip
Guess what's first on your travel agenda? Landing at Hobart International Airport (HBA), 15km from the city centre. If you're getting in late and just want to go straight to bed, Wotif's hotels near Hobart International Airport are perfect for you. But if you're ready to hit the ground running, grab a ride from a taxicab or shuttle bus and head straight downtown.
Eat, Eat, Eat
Who's hungry? You are, baby. Leave the comfort of your Hobart hotel and take a stroll through the Salamanca Market to eat your way through one of Tasmania's biggest attractions. Dig into the freshest produce in the fruit and vegetable section. Take care of your sweets addiction at the honey and jam stalls. You can also sample dishes from some of the local restaurants.
If you're a lover of seafood, you're in luck. This town is loaded with too many great fish joints to count. Make your way to one of the places at Franklin Wharf and tear into a fillet of Tasmanian Atlantic Salmon. And you'd be a sucker if you didn't get your hands on a bucket of abalone. Any Hobart travel guide that doesn't tell you to eat abalone is a fraud.
The Gang's All Here
A great way to welcome the family to this wonderful island is to take them to the Maritime Museum of Tasmania. The kids will love the displays featuring an aboriginal bark canoe, a replica of a 19th-century whaling vessel and a variety of shipwreck artefacts. The place is just like Cameron's house in Ferris Bueller's Day Off: "It's very beautiful and very cold, and you can't touch anything".
Don't head back to your Hobart accommodation just yet; you guys haven't even been to the Tasmanian Devil Unzoo. Go on a Devil Tracking Tour, where the kids will get a behind-the-scenes look into the conservation efforts surrounding these feisty little critters. Just be warned: If you're going because you think they look like the one from Looney Tunes, you'll be disappointed.
Up for an Adventure?
Do you take after Ricky Bobby? More concisely, do you feel the need for speed? Make your way 21km east to Mount Wellington. What are you going to do there? You're going to fly down the slopes on a 21-speed mountain bike. All you have to do is strap on a helmet and point your ride downhill. You'll get to the bottom and back to your accommodation in Hobart somehow.
Think this island that's almost at the end of the Earth doesn't have festivals? Think again. Book a stay at one of the hotels in Hobart in the middle of June so you can attend the Dark MOFO festival. This is held every year to celebrate the winter solstice. It's nothing but 10 days of musical and artistic performances.
Get this—the festival comes to a close with a naked swim on the morning of the winter solstice. Sounds pretty epic to us.
Nightlife in Hobart
Are you thinking about where to stay at in Hobart central business district? Well, if you want to be close to the best nightlife, any of the Hobart hotels along Davey Street will have you within walking distance of fantastic night spots. Franklin Wharf and Morrison Street in particular have plenty of great places to mingle with the locals while tossing back a few schooners.
But the real action is along Salamanca Place. It'll be hard to hit all the watering holes, but if you think you can do it, go for it.
Go South, Way South
Haven't you had enough of going to work day in and day out, with no trip to look forward to in the future? Well, that's all about to change…like, immediately, because Wotif has the best places to stay in Hobart. Seriously, the best.
Browse our unbelievably, ridiculously awesome offers on Hobart holiday packages and say "later" the popsicle stand you call home for a while. Send us a postcard!

Engineering is a bold discipline. Engineers are constantly reaching for new heights, searching for new materials and greater efficiency. Unfortunately, part of that process means we occasionally exceed known boundaries. It is regrettable, but it would appear that human nature requires that we learn the hard way. While this is an obviously painful process, we can learn more from our few mistakes than from our many successes. Our many successes may contain flaws that are never revealed under normal conditions, and we may go on repeating them over and over. It is only when expected conditions are exceeded, and failure is the result, that we learn where we went wrong [12].
Valuable lessons can be learned from failures, and there are plenty of examples from industry in general as well as specific details regarding failures of safety control system. For example, the UKHSE (Health and safety Executive) issued a publication in 1995 [2] that reviewed 34 accidents that were directly caused by control and safety system failures. The HSE published the reviews so that engineers could learn from and hopefully not repeat the mistakes discussed in the book. The IEC and ISA standards on this subject, as well as the CCPS Guidelines, are based upon a "Safety Life Cycle" which is a set of steps one should go through in the overall design process in an effort to ensure that nothing falls through the cracks.
As responsible engineers, we should not have to learn the hard way. Plants have become too large and the risks have become too great for us to learn by mere trial and error. Because we cannot do a recall on all refineries we need to get things right the first time. We can, however, learn from the mistakes of otherts without re-inventing the wheel or operating in isolation.
