The Perfect Storm Intensifies - The Convergence of Big Data, Cloud and the Internet of Things Is Now at Full Strength
By Mac Devine
Almost everyone sees the potential of Internet of Things but how can businesses truly unlock that potential. The key will be in the ability to discover business insight in the midst of an ocean of Big Data generated from billions of embedded devices via Systems of Discover. Businesses will also need to ensure that they can sustain that insight by leveraging the cloud for global reach, scale and elasticity. Without bringing these three elements together via Systems of Discover you either end up with an Internet of somethings and/or a big mess of data. [continued]
Digital Disciplines: Strategies for Things and the Cloud

The Physical Web
By Scott Jensen
Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices
Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys. [continued]
Big Data's Potential in Helping to Secure the Internet of Things
By James G. Kobielus
The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

IoT: We Have Heard That the Best Interface Is No Interface
By Chris Matthieu
There will be 50 billion Internet connected devices by 2020. Today, every manufacturer has a propriety protocol and an app. How do we securely integrate these "things" into our lives and businesses in a way that we can easily control and manage? Even better, how do we integrate these "things" so that they control and manage each other so our lives become more convenient or our businesses become more profitable and/or safe? [continued]
Lego Land: The Building Blocks of Innovation for the Enterprises
By Andrew Bolwell
Explosive technological advancement has created a molten landscape of disruption, reinvention and creation. New services arrive and become versatile building blocks for new ideas, products and businesses. As intuitive and intelligent technology relieves us of administrative burdens, we can spend more energy on what matters: curiosity, imagination, personal connection, reflection. As technology blurs lines between work and home, physical and digital, there is profound opportunity not just in what these new technologies are but in why they matter in human terms. Andrew Bolwell, HP Printing and Personal Systems Director of Innovation, reports from the dawn of the new Innovation Age. [continued]
IoT, Identity Management and WebRTC
By Peter Dunkley
We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service - possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings - and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorisation, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) irreversibly encoded. This presentation looks at how this identity problem can be solved and discusses ways to use existing web identities for real-time communication. [continued]

In his session at 2nd WebRTC Summit, Ivelin Ivanov, co-founder of TeleStax, will discuss a real-world example where telephony APIs make a difference in improving patient care and reducing healthcare costs. He will then look into a brighter telehealth future with secure, high quality, ubiquitous WebRTC video interactions. [continued]
Using Docker For a Complex Internet of Things Application
By Aater Suleman
Docker provides a user-friendly layer on top of Linux Containers (LXCs). LXCs provide operating-system-level virtualization by limiting a process's resources. In addition to using the chroot command to change accessible directories for a given process, Docker effectively provides isolation of one group of processes from other files and system processes without the expense of running another operating system. [continued]
A New Architecture for the Enterprise Internet of Things
By James Kirkland
Explosive growth in connected devices. Enormous amounts of data for collection and analysis. Critical use of data for split-second decision making and actionable information. All three are factors in making the Internet of Things a reality. Yet, any one factor would have an IT organization pondering its infrastructure strategy. [continued]

A critical shortage in the Washington region's blood supply has been made worse because of the severe impact of last week's storms, prompting the American Red Cross to make an urgent call for donors.
The Red Cross says their available blood supply is at emergency levels, after a dramatic decrease in donations, coupled with a massive power outages spanning across the Mid-Atlantic region.
A bright red "X" marks the spot on Sheri Brown's arm, where she gave someone else the gift of life.
"Someone gave to me and I need to pay it forward," she said.
It was almost 26 years ago when Brown needed emergency surgery. She's alive today because a stranger donated to the Red Cross.
"So if I had not had blood I wouldn't have been around to raise my daughters or see my three grandkids who are teenagers now," she said.
But this summer has brought new challenges to the Red Cross - both nationally and locally.
In June, the organization saw a 10 percent decrease in donations, which is roughly 50 thousand pints of blood.
Adding to that, our region's local chapter lost critical donations it already had when the power went out after last week's storms.
"It really puts our community in a very difficult situation, patients don't get vacations they are in a hospital and they need blood and every donation helps save a life," said Dr. Dayand Borge, Medical Director with the Red Cross.
That's why Monica Stein decided to donate for the first time in five years. "If you haven't donated blood and you are able to I think you absolutely should," she said.
Stein recently had a family members pass away and, in lieu of flowers, the family asked everyone to make a blood donation to the Red Cross.
"It was our duty as healthy citizens to give blood to help those that needed it," she said.
"You never know who's going to be the next person who needs blood. It might be your next door neighbor, it might be your child, it might be you," Brown said.
The whole process takes just a few minutes, but it's precious time a blood donor recipient says it well worth it.
"I know that I've had some really good years that i might not have had had I not received blood 26 years ago and I hope that my donation let's somebody else have the same kind of good life that i am having now," Brown said.

Oklahoma City Thunder: Ranking the Game 1 winners
The Thunder got a huge win over Dallas in Game 1, 99-98, winning on Kevin Durant's soft jumper with 1.5 seconds left in the game. But here's how crazy were the first weekend of the NBA playoffs. That wasn't even the most impressive 99-98 game. Ranking the eight winners, in terms of impressiveness of performance:
1. LA Clippers: Down 27 points in the third quarter — and down 24 with nine minutes left — the Clippers stormed back and won it, 99-98. Chris Paul's two foul shots with 23 seconds left put the Clips ahead for good, then Rudy Gay missed a shot at the buzzer for Memphis. One confession: I fell asleep on the Clips. Me and most of America.
2. Orlando: Left for dead during the Dark Shadows season of Dwight Howard, the Magic went to Indianapolis and stunned the Pacers 81-77. Howard is out with a back injury. Stan Van Gundy is dead coaching walking. Indiana has the better roster. But Van Gundy is a coaching fiend.
3. Lakers: LA was at home against Denver, but the Lakers were without Metta World Chaos, serving his notable suspension. And the Lakers won easy, 103-88. That's got to be discouraging for the Nuggets, the NBA's highest-scoring team.
4. Miami: Blowout city. The Heat routed the Knickerbockers 100-67. No one wants to play the Heat.
5. Atlanta: Solid win for the Hawks, 83-74 over the Celtics, in a game marred by Rajon Rondo's ejection after a dubious call late. This is going to be a good series, but it will be tougher if Boston plays game or two without Rondo, who bumped referee Marc Davis. But you never can be too excited about a team that doesn't know who its best player is (Josh Smith).
6. San Antonio: The Spurs beat Utah 106-91 in workmanlike fashion. That's exactly what a No. 1 seed should do in a playoff opener.
7. Oklahoma City: It's great that Durant's shot saved the Thunder, after Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka kept the Thunder breathing while Durant shoot poorly. But it doesn't bode well that OKC had to struggle so much against a weary Mav team.
8. Chicago: Hard to imagine a worse victory. The Bulls lost MVP Derrick Rose to a torn ACL in his knee. Chicago beat Philly 103-91 and will go on to win the series. Might even sweep the Sixers. But now Chicago has no chance to knock off the Heat.

A new map of the U.S. based on 1.5 million hours of acoustic data lends scientific credibility to what many nature-lovers treat as an article of faith.
Diversity in our public lands is key to success
We recently named 29 wild places that could be preserved through the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), which use revenues generated from offshore oil and gas drilling leases to acquire critical new lands. Six of the 29 places are located in my region, the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Read on to discover why two of these special places deserve to be saved.

The popular Ubuntu Linux is a favorite for home users as well as the business desktop set. Ubuntu offers stability, excellent community support, and a clear, uncluttered user interface. This month's DVD comes with both Ubuntu 9.04 and the popular Kubuntu variant on a double-sided disc.
The 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope" release features faster boot times, an innovative notification app, and several new tools, including the PulseAudio music server. If you prefer the Gnome desktop, try Ubuntu. If you favor KDE, start with the Kubuntu side. A built-in Live boot option lets you boot the system from the DVD and test drive Jaunty Jackalope without disturbing the contents of your hard drive.

DVD Boot
Place this DVD in the drive and restart your system. If your computer doesn't start, make sure your BIOS is configured to boot from a DVD. Enter the BIOS setup menu (see your vendor documentation), make sure DVD boot is enabled, and make sure the DVD drive appears before the hard drive in the boot order.
Double-sided DVD
This DVD is a double-sided disc. A DVD device always reads the side of the disc that is facing down. This DVD is labeled like a normal DVD – the label you see as you place the disk into the tray applies to the data on the opposite side. For instance, if you are installing the 32-bit version, the 32-bit label should be facing up in the tray.

Rachel Ray's Tangy Cherry Chicken
Serves 6
• 4 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 6 oz. each
• 2 Tbsp. chopped thyme leaves, about 6 sprigs
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup pine nuts (or a couple of handfuls)
• 3 cups chicken stock
• 4 Tbsp. cold butter
• 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
• 3 ribs celery, finely chopped
• 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
• 1/2 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup dried cherries (or a couple of handfuls)
• 2 cups plain couscous
• 1/2 tsp. ground allspice
• 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup honey (or a healthy drizzling)
• 2 scallions, finely chopped
• 3 Tbsp. flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1. Heat 3 Tbsp. of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts liberally with half of the thyme, salt and pepper; add to hot skillet and cook 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until inside is no longer pink. Remove chicken to a plate and cover it with foil to keep warm.
2. Toast pine nuts in a medium saucepan over medium heat; remove and set aside. Add 2 cups stock and 1 Tbsp. of the butter to pot, and bring to a boil.
3. Put the chicken skillet back on the stove over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Add the onion, celery, red pepper flakes, nutmeg, salt and pepper, and sauté 3 to 4 minutes, or until celery and onions are tender. Add white wine and let it simmer until pan is almost dry, 1 minute. Add the 2 cups of hot chicken stock and the dried cherries, and continue to simmer, about 5 to 6 minutes, or until about 1?2 cup of liquid is left in the pan. Remove pan from heat, add remaining 3 Tbsp. cold butter in small pieces and whisk until it's completely melted.
4. In a medium saucepan, bring the remaining 1 cup chicken stock to a boil. Add couscous, allspice, cinnamon and a little salt. Cover pot and remove from heat. Let it stand 5 minutes. Drizzle honey over couscous and add pine nuts, scallions and parsley. Toss and fluff with a fork to combine. 5 Serve chicken whole or sliced, with cherry sauce poured over and couscous alongside.

How can i send html mail with images in c#? Can i just set direct link to image on my server(something like
<img src="http://mysite.ru/img.png" /> ) or i need attache image and then use link to my attached file? Is there any examples or ready to use libraries? What about css files and scripts?
How can i send html mail with images in c#? Can i just set direct link to image on my server(something like
For CSS it is common to use inline style and no referenced files the images on the other side should be just links and not send with the email. You just need to declare the mail content as html and you are ready to go. JavaScript is also available I use it fir some repositioning.
There are multiple methods of coding in-line images. We use VB.NET in house and this site is an excellent reference http://www.systemnetmail.com/default.aspx
If you directly embed the links into the email (pointing to an external server) you'll get blocked by most clients, but the user can turn them on.
They can be embedded in the usual manner of:
If you need it to show up by default you'll need to embed the image as an attachment and link to that attachement inline.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHTML:
Learning more about MHTML may be the key to solving the problem.
probably the best option is to use some package like MvcMailer.
Mvc Mailer display the following characteristics:
MvcMailer sends emails using the MVC views as Email Body with no effort. Here's a quick list of features:
a) Use Razor/WebForms views
b) Use Master pages
c) Write Testable Code
d) Pass values to your view using ViewBag or ViewModel and
e) Generate Absolute URL using Url.Abs method and
f) create multi-part emails by just adding a view file,
g) scaffold your mailers. MvcMailer has a MailerBase class that extends ControllerBase class.
So, Mailers are just like your Controllers. As a result, you can use all the controller goodies without any learning curve, period. The end result is a professional looking HTML email body ready for your to send to your website users.
Visit the Project site for a comprehensive tutorial on MvcMailer. https://github.com/smsohan/MvcMailer/wiki/MvcMailer-Step-by-Step-Guide
On the step guid you will find how you can send emails using images.

Study Guide: The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Downloadable / Printable Version
The Little Prince
The novel is named after the Little Prince, who is a mystical and loveable person. He is the sole inhabitant of a small planet, which the narrator refers to as B-612. The Prince leaves his planet to visit other places and finally lands on Earth. In the Sahara Desert, he meets the narrator and befriends him. The narrator tells of his encounter with the Prince and also relates the adventures of the Prince on the other asteroids that the latter has visited.
The fox
The Little Prince meets the fox in the desert. The fox is a wise creature, which teaches the Prince about the essence of life. After they become friends, the fox asks the Little Prince to tame him, which is what the latter does.
The Turkish Astronomer
The narrator mentions the Turkish astronomer in the fourth chapter. The narrator believes that the planet from which the Little Prince has come is the asteroid known as B-612. A Turkish astronomer first sees this asteroid through the telescope in 1909.
The Little Princes flower
On the Little Princes planet, the flowers are usually very simple; but one day, from a seed blown from afar, a new flower comes up that is very beautiful, but also very vain. The Prince begins to doubt the flowers credibility and finally leaves his planet to escape the company of the flower.
The King
The king is the sole inhabitant of asteroid 325, which the Little Prince visits after leaving his own planet. The king insists upon his authority being respected and does not tolerate disobedience; however, since he is a very good man, he makes his orders reasonable. Just before the Prince leaves the kings planet, the latter makes the former an ambassador.
The Conceited Man
He is the inhabitant of asteroid 326. Totally conceited, he insists that everyone else admire him. He does not listen to anything but praise and expects the Little Prince to praise and admire him.
The Tippler
The tippler lives on asteroid 327. When the Prince asks him what he is doing, the tippler replies that he is drinking to forget that he is ashamed of drinking.
The Businessman
The businessman sits and counts stars on asteroid 328. He thinks that he owns the stars, making him rich. The Little Prince explains to the businessman that he is of no use at all to the stars that he owns.
The Lamplighter
The lamplighter lives on asteroid 329 and does the job of lighting and then putting out the lamplight. The lamplighter thinks that his is a terrible profession, because once every minute he has to light the lamp, for his planet makes a complete turn every sixty seconds. The Prince feels that the lamplighter is the only one who could have been his friend.
The Geographer
The geographer lives on a planet that is ten times larger than the lamplighters planet. He explains that he is a scholar who knows the location of all the seas, rivers, towns, mountains, and deserts. He is the one who advises the Prince to visit the planet Earth, as it has a good reputation.
The Snake
The first living thing that the Prince encounters on the planet Earth is a snake. The snake tells him that it gets a little lonely among men. The Prince thinks that the snake is very weak, but the snake tells him that he can kill a person. The snake also says that he can solve all kinds of riddles.
The Desert Flower
The Prince meets a flower in the desert. It tells him that there are only six or seven men in existence and that one never knows where to find them. According to the flower, the wind blows the men away.
Garden of Roses
The Prince meets a garden of roses on the planet Earth. He is overcome with sadness on seeing them because there are five thousand of them in a single garden. His flower has told him that it was the only one of its kind in the universe. He cries when he realizes that his flower has lied to him.
Railway Switchman
The Prince meets the railway switchman on Earth. The switchman tells the Prince that he sorts out travelers and sends off the trains that carry them. The switchman also says that no one is ever satisfied with his position. During his conversation with the switchman, the Prince tells him that only the children know what they are looking for.
The Prince asks the merchant why he sells pills that quench thirst. The merchant answers that he sells them because they save a lot of time. The Prince feels that he would rather use that time to walk at leisure toward a spring of fresh water.

Say goodbye to tired eyes, dark circles and fine lines - now you can always look refreshed and bright-eyed with cool, soothing I-Gels by DuWop. These discs of cool gel conform to the shape of the eye, bathing the entire area in soothing botanical extracts, as well as targeting specific concerns.
Three Unique Combinations:
Please Note: DuWop I-Gels are sensitive to heat. It is recommended that they are stored in an area no higher than 72 degrees.
Love it, I slept with them on my eyes. A pair of I-gels relaxes my tired eyes from computer work related. I also try Talika products, more expensive but doesn't work well as duwop's product. Highly recommend for cooling eyes.
These gels are so cool! You have to get them on by forming a "suction" onto your eye so they really get rid of the swelling.
Gently remove discs from their case and apply the flat side to the eye area while raising the eyebrow. Press lightly to allow the disc to create a natural suction, then relax for 8-10 minutes. After use, store I-Gels in airtight pouch until next use. I-Gels are not to be frozen.
This product can be shipped to any country to which SkinStore currently ships.

His wife and 6-month old daughter died in the Friday fire at his duplex in base housing. Officials are still investigating the cause of the fire. If you would like to donate to the relief fund, you can mail checks to Frank Cativiela, 104 Fairfield Drive, Richlands, NC 28574.

Montpellier have had a terrible start to their defence of the first French title in the club's history, losing three of the first five. This has caused mass optimism in the Arsenal ranks but we should be wary of the French champions on their home soil tonight.

Gaz: Thirteen days of hell for Arsenal (So lets win the League!)
Where do we go from here? by Gaz
Just thirteen days ago we were dreaming about the Quadruple. A Carling Cup Final against a team who is in a relegation battle awaited us, and this was supposed to be the easy part of our trophy hunt. As we all know, things didn't go according to plan, and Birmingham claimed the Cup in comical circumstances. Whilst this was very disappointing, we could comfort ourselves by saying "its only the Carling Cup".
