Although sometimes portrayed as a big computer in the sky, the reality of cloud computing is far more mundane. Clouds run on physical hardware, located in data centres, connected to one another and to their customers via high speed networks. All of that hardware must be powered and cooled, and all of those offices must be lit. Whilst many data centre operators continue to make welcome strides toward increasing the efficiency of their buildings, machines and processes, these advances remain a drop in the ocean next to the environmental implications of choices made about power source. With access to good information, might it be possible for users of the cloud to make choices that save themselves money, whilst at the same time saving (a bit of) the planet?
Greenpeace has consistently drawn attention to the importance of energy choices in evaluating the environmental credentials of data centres, with 2011′s How Dirty Is Your Data? report continuing to polarise arguments after more than a year. The most efficient modern data centres deploy an impressive arsenal of tricks to save energy (and therefore money), and to burnish their green credentials. They use the most efficient modern processors, heat offices with waste server heat, cool servers with water from the toilets and the sea, or keep air conditioning costs low by opening the building when it's cool outside. But analysis from London's Mastodon C suggests that these efforts, although laudable, typically trim only a few percentage points from a data centre's environmental impact. According to Mastodon C CEO and co-founder Francine Bennett, a whopping 61% of a data centre's environmental footprint can be attributed to choosing dirty power sources like coal. Efficient data centre design is to be welcomed, but we shouldn't make the mistake of assuming that efficient data centres are necessarily green data centres. The corollary is also true, but if the figures are to be believed it has less serious consequences for the planet.
Dirty – and finite – power sources such as oil, coal, and gas remain the mainstay of power generation in most countries. According to figures from the Energy Information Administration in the United States, 37% of US energy consumption in 2010 was from 'oil and other liquids,' 21% was from coal, 9% was nuclear, 25% was gas, 1% was liquid biofuels, and only 7% was from renewables. More recent data suggests little change in the US' spread of energy sources, although other countries are less reliant on coal. 2009 statistics (page 7) from the International Energy Agency suggest that coal accounts for 19.7% of consumption amongst OECD countries. More worryingly, although coal accounts for only 21% of consumption in the US, it has a disproportionate impact upon carbon emissions (a metric for which the US tops the table). Looking at 2010′s figures for carbon dioxide emissions directly attributable to power generation, coal's 21% contribution to the consumption figure is responsible for 80% of the emissions total. By 2012 that has improved a little, to a mere 78%. Every small move away from coal has a large downstream effect on carbon emissions.
So data centres should just stop using coal then, right? That's certainly what Greenpeace wants. But the picture is, of course, not quite that simple. Data centres require significant up-front investment, often years before the first customer pays anyone any money. Grants, incentives, and inward investment programmes may all lead data centre builders to choose otherwise odd locations for their new facilities. Data centre operators need power that is predictable, reliable, and affordable. They often simply draw most of that power from the utility grid, which will get its energy from a variety of suppliers. Offsets from planting a few trees or selling electricity generated by the windmills on your roof does nothing significant to compensate for the megawatts you're sucking down from your closest coal-fired power station. As Amazon's James Hamilton noted last week, data centres often want or need to be situated within easy reach of population centres. Bandwidth matters, so much so that it sometimes makes business sense to pay for cooling a data centre in a desert. Renewables such as solar, wind, and biofuels are good for carbon emissions, but can have other less welcome consequences as carbon-capturing forests and food-producing farmland are cleared to make way for solar arrays, windmills and oil palm plantations. Geothermal power is abundant, clean and almost free, but often a long way from prospective customers, and tainted by (unfair) association with geological instability. No one wants their data centre engulfed by a lava flow.
Data centres are big investments, amortised over many years. Their locations are selected for a whole host of reasons, of which the greenness of the electricity supply is only one. Some data centre providers will make much of their greenness, and may even see a business opportunity to charge a premium price that helps their customers feel good about themselves. Others say as little as possible, either because they don't think we'll like the truth or because (they say) no one is asking them the question.
But many users of these data centres have more room for manoeuvre. They have a choice, and maybe they just need enough information to let them exercise that choice wisely.
Some jobs will always need to be kept close, down the fattest, shortest, fastest pipe you can find. In low latency trading, for example, the speed of light presents a bottleneck. Other jobs might need to run in (or avoid) specific geographies. European data protection rules, financial and healthcare regulations in many countries, and most governments' sensitivity about clandestine snooping on their activities are all reasons that have been used to place data in one place rather than another. A third class of jobs might need to run on one cloud rather than another. They're optimised to utilise the features of a particular cloud provider, or they require an operating system or libraries or granular controls that only certain providers support. But even in each of these cases, there is often an element of choice. More than one data centre is easily accessible to a Wall Street trader. More than one cloud provider satisfies US/European Safe Harbor Provisions. Almost every significant cloud infrastructure provider offers mechanisms to choose one of their data centres over another. And then there's the (far larger?) class of jobs that could run anywhere they can find a Windows or Linux virtual machine. For them, the choices are many and varied. And in a big data context, where a single job might spin up thousands of machines, those choices have real – measurable – environmental implications.
And that's where some of the work being done by Mastodon C comes in. By gathering real data on climate (which is responsible for 20% of environmental footprint), power source (up to 61%) and server power usage, and adding educated estimates regarding efficiency initiatives inside the data centre, the company can tell you where the greenest place to run a compute job right now will be. Unseasonably cold in Singapore this week? Send your jobs to Asia. Sun visits Dublin for the day? Maybe avoid Ireland until the inevitable happens.
Cloud developers are creatures of habit. They'll take default settings. They'll send jobs to the same Region they used last time. And all of that means they tend to use Amazon… and they tend to use Amazon's US-EAST region, in Virginia.
Mastodon C offers a web tool to display current figures on the CO2 emissions attributable to servers in different data centres around the world. Today, the tool shows figures for Iceland's Greenqloud and IaaS giant Amazon, but even that offers some useful insight. As Francine Bennett notes, the vast majority (possibly 70%) of Amazon jobs run in the company's Virginia data centre. When Virginia's cool (which it rarely is during the summer months), this data centre's not that bad, but when temperatures begin to rise only sun-drenched Dublin (erm…) and monsoon-gripped Singapore score more poorly on the emissions scale. Amazon's Oregon data centre costs exactly the same as Virginia, but emissions are typically far lower. So if latency isn't a principal concern (and it often isn't for a big data job that's left to get on with churning through a pile of data in an S3 bucket), and your data is already going to be processed in the United States, why not send it to green Oregon by default, instead of soot-stained Virginia?
Amazon's most expensive facility, in Brazil, is even greener than Oregon, but the price puts a lot of potential customers off. So much so that spot prices for the site are often remarkably low. So if your compute jobs are amenable to running (and being killed from time to time) on a spot instance, Sao Paolo is also worth a look.
Greenqloud and AWS, of course, are only part of the cloud infrastructure picture. Bennett says that the company is keen to include similar data for other significant cloud providers such as Rackspace and Microsoft. Rather than predict data centre efficiency figures as they've done for Amazon, Bennett says they're keen to work with the cloud providers directly, and to incorporate actual measurements from inside the data centres into the model.
Mastodon C is also about to release an API to the model behind the pretty UI, which developers (or cloud management companies like Rightscale) can then incorporate into their own code. Why couldn't a big data job simply place itself in the greenest location at run-time?
The environment is not the only consideration in deciding where to send compute jobs. But if tools like Mastodon C's can shine an accurate light on the financial and environmental costs of different data centres, then it seems inevitable that people will begin to pay attention. Not (immediately), perhaps, the corporate CIO in his big BMW. But the hipster founders of the next Facebook, the next Zynga, and the next Google, with their Teslas and Nests? Surely they'd be quick to embrace the means to get their computing done just as fast, just as cheaply, but greener?
Finally, there's the subtext hidden between all the graphs and statistics that Mastodon C can show. Carbon emissions from data centres fluctuate with oil prices, the weather, and more. And those fluctuations mean that the price a data centre owner pays to run a given server for a given time fluctuates too. But, as a customer, you don't see those price fluctuations. You pay your $0.64 to run a virtual machine in Amazon's Virginia data centre, regardless of whether they've had to turn the aircon on or not. It's 33°C there as I type, so they probably have.
At what point – if ever – would a data centre provider consider reflecting some of this variation in the actual price they charge? Would it be a transparent, fair, and honest way to pass on their true costs, or an unpredictable nightmare that would make any sort of long-term planning impossible?
You often have a choice about where you do your computing. Habit and laziness perhaps mean you don't always exercise that choice, but maybe a visit to Mastodon C's web dashboard will be enough to make you place your next cloud job somewhere other than the default.
What do you think? Are carbon footprints and temperature graphs and the rest something that cloud customers can and should concern themselves with? Do our small actions matter, or is it easier to just leave all of this to the people who run big data centres?

"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Find a Quality Realtor. Support the Gospel of Life!
If you, or someone you know, needs to buy or sell a house, office, or any kind of domestic or commercial property anywhere in the world, call Real Estate For Life on 1-877-LIFE-US1. They connect you with an expert agent with a proven track-record from a local franchised broker or strong independent. When the sale is completed, the agent gives a portion of their fee to Real Estate For Life as a referral fee. Real Estate For Life gives 80% of that fee to one of the pro-life organizations they work with: a house with a value of $150,000 means $1000 goes to the pro-life organization. It doesn't cost you anything.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

Zuora, the subscription billing, commerce and finance leader, today announced that Z-Business, Zuora's flagship product, has won an SIIA CODiE Award for Best Subscription Management Solution.
The Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), the principal trade association for the software and digital content industries, announced Zuora's win for the 2014 CODiE Award for Best Subscription Management Solution. An SIIA CODiE Award win is an especially prestigious honor as each award winner was reviewed by a field of industry experts, whose evaluations determined 125 finalists. SIIA members then reviewed the finalists and voted to select this year's CODiE Awards winners.
Zuora was founded on the belief that companies across diverse industries are realizing that the future growth lies in recurring revenue business models anchored on long term customer relationships. But when these businesses decide to adopt these new business models, they often find that their core ERP systems were not designed to meet the demands of relationship-centric recurring revenue streams.
A new breed of solutions, called Relationship Business Management, are needed to augment ERP and remove road-blocks to business model innovation.
Z-Business is the world's first Relationship Business Management Solution. It was designed to manage the business operations of relationship-centric subscription companies just as ERP has done for manufacturing companies.
Z-Business is built with the goal of addressing the unique challenges faced by enterprises embracing the Subscription Economy. It contains a broad set of capabilities that span:
- multi-channel relationship commerce
- recurring billing coupled with global payments
- recurring revenue management
Z-Business was designed to meet the quote-to-revenue demands of relationship-centric revenue streams; integrates seamlessly into existing CRM and ERP applications; and delivers the highest security, scalability, audit and compliance standards demanded by global enterprises.
"At Zuora, our team is committed to product excellence and we take pride in having developed a product that gives businesses – whether pre-IPO growth companies or the world's largest enterprises – the tools they need to launch and scale any subscription service, quickly and affordably," said Guillaume Vives, Sr. VP of Product Strategy and Product Management at Zuora. "We are honored to receive this prestigious industry recognition as a winner in the SIIA CODiE Award program."
"SIIA's 2014 Software CODiE Award winners' have some of the most innovative, high-impact software products and services in the market," said SIIA Vice President for the Software Division, Rhianna Collier. "We congratulate all of this year's CODiE Award winners and thank them for the contributions they have made to the software and services industry."
Z-Business was also named a finalist in two other SIIA CODiE Award categories in 2014: Best eCommerce and Billing Platform and Best Commerce Solution. Zuora's Z-Billing application was named a finalist in the category of Best Software-as-a-Service in 2010. Zuora was the only billing and subscription commerce solution to receive the honor at the time.
For more information about the CODiE Awards, visit http://www.siia.net/codies.
Zuora's third annual Subscribed event, the only conference uniquely designed to help business leaders in finance, IT, marketing, operations and sales embrace subscription models to transform and modernize their businesses, will be taking place June 2-4, 2014 at The Westin St. Francis in San Francisco, CA. This year's event will focus on The Disruption of Everything, and will showcase the dramatic shift in the way both consumers and companies want to do business in which they subscribe to services rather than buy products. New this year is an exclusive Enterprise track focused on the opportunities and challenges that are unique to transforming large global enterprises. In addition to Zuora CEO Tien Tzuo, notable speakers include:
- Andy McAfee, Principal Research Scientist, MIT Sloan School of Management, and author of Race Against the Machine and The Second Machine Age
- Mike Kail, CIO, Netflix
- David Wadhwani, Senior Vice-President and General Manager, Adobe
- Allison Mnookin, VP & GM, Intuit
- Thomas Salmen, CTO, Telecom New Zealand
- JB Wood, CEO, Technology Services Industry Association (TSIA), and author of Consumption Economics and B4B: How Technology and Big Data Are Reinventing the Customer-Supplier Relationship
- Alan Parsons, The Alan Parsons Project

About the SIIA CODiE™ Awards
The SIIA CODiE™ Awards, originally called the Excellence in Software Awards, were established in 1986 by the Software Publishers Association (SPA), now the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), so that pioneers of the then-nascent software industry could evaluate and honor each other's work. Since then, the CODiE Awards program has carried out the same purpose – to showcase the software and information industry's finest products and services and to honor excellence in corporate achievement.

Forty Miles From Poplar Bluff Lyrics
Artist: Dolly Parton
Album: 20 Greatest Hits
I've never had a pair of shoes that weren't all hand-me-downs
And daddy's morning coffee came from ol' left over ground
My mama wore no jewelry or any storebought stuff
And home was on a hillside forty miles from Poplar Bluff
Forty miles back in Missoury there's a different way of life
Where a man thinks of his neighbor and not his neighbor's wife
Life is far from fancy sometimes mighty rough
But contentment makes it worth it forty miles from Poplar Bluff
Our only family treasure was a beatup radio
But it took us to the places where we knew we'd never go
We never had much money but we always had enough
Cause money never mattered much forty miles from Poplar Bluff
Forty miles back in Missoury...
[ steel - trumpet ]
Well nearly every winter when the snow is on the ground
And the roads would all be closed and we couldn't get to town
But if daddy had his tabaccer grandma had her snuff
Then the winters didn't seem so long forty miles from Poplar Bluff
Forty miles back in Missoury...
Forty miles from Poplar Bluff

The Durham Bulls today announce the extension of their Player Development Contract with the Tampa Bay Rays, which will lengthen the Bulls' affiliation with the Rays through the end of the 2018 season.
The four-year contract comes on the heels of a four-year deal signed in August, 2009, that went in to effect after the 2010 season. In the last four years of the affiliation, the Bulls have captured three International League South Division titles and the 2013 Governors' Cup Championship. The Rays have been Durham's only affiliate since the team jumped to the Triple-A classification in 1998.
"We're thrilled to once again extend our affiliation with the Tampa Bay Rays," said Mike Birling, Bulls General Manager since 2003. "We've been fortunate the Rays have been able to keep our long-time coaching staff intact to lead a seemingly endless crop of prospects year after year, which has translated into dominance on the field."
The 17-year affiliation between the Bulls and Rays, the third-longest affiliation in the International League, has provided the Bulls unparalleled success. The franchise has won 12 division titles and earned 13 playoff berths in that span, while winning the 2002, 2003, 2009 and 2013 Governors' Cup crowns. Additionally, the 2009 season saw the squad earn the title of Triple-A National Champions, defeating the Memphis Redbirds 5-4 in Oklahoma City.
"The Tampa Bay Rays are proud to continue to be the Major League affiliate of the Durham Bulls, Minor League Baseball's best Triple-A affiliate," said Tampa Bay Rays Director of Minor League Operations Mitch Lukevics. "The Bulls have been great partners, and we're excited to continue that relationship for the next four years."

Maxonix Zero-G Anti-Gravity Stick Holder
Zero-G Goes Where No Stick Holder Has Gone Before
By Andy Doerschuk Published August 1, 2010
Don't let gravity pull you down. Maxonix has introduced a nifty stick holder that makes gravitational force a thing of the past — well, at least for drummers. Check out the Zero-G Anti-Gravity Drumstick Holder, which allows drummers to position spare sticks in previously unheard of places, including completely upside down. The secret of the shock-mounted device is found in its FlexiGrip-Clips, which automatically self-adjust to hold different stick sizes simultaneously and keep them from rattling or buzzing. The Zero-G literally mounts onto any surface, including stands, booms, snare and tom hoops, floor tom legs, drum racks, and bass drum hoops.

Cooper's Hawk opening Monday at Brookfield Square
Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant, an Illinois-based chain that sells its own wine and pairs it with a broad menu, is opening today at Brookfield Square.
It's in a renovated space formerly occupied by Claim Jumper, on the Moorland Road side of the mall. The 250-seat Brookfield restaurant is the sixth location for Cooper's Hawk and its first in Wisconsin.
It's open for lunch and dinner every day. The restaurant also has a wine-tasting room, as well as a store and outdoor seating.
A look at the menu shows dishes such as lobster corn dogs ($9.99) among the appetizers; chicken saltimbocca ($17.99) among the entrees; and half-pound Angus burgers ($9.99 to $10.99), as well as salads, pastas, sandwiches and desserts. Entree prices range from $13.99 for house-made gnocchi to $30.99 for a 20-ounce bone-in ribeye.
Most of the wines are under $30 a bottle and all -- about 30 of them -- are sold by the glass as well. They include popular varietals such as Chardonnay (oaked and unoaked) and Riesling among whites, and Pinot Noir and Malbec among reds. Guests can ask for a taste of any wine before committing to a glass or bottle.
Cooper's Hawk makes its wine in Illinois from grapes and other fruit from the West Coast and Michigan.
The Brookfield restaurant's kitchen is open from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday. The tasting room opens at 11 a.m. daily.

At NAB2009, Rohde & Schwarz unveiled its new end-to-end ATSC M/H system that includes ATSC Mobile DTV-capable test equipment. "We build the chicken and the egg," is how Eddy Vanderkerken, R&S director of sales and marketing for the broadcast division, describes this strategy.
"We saw early on that there would be a need for a TV signal generator and, even more important, a signal analyzer. People who develop receivers need a signal to test," Vanderkerken said. "When new technology pops up, it's not enough to add a few parts. You're obligated to create the tools to make sure it all works. We went farther for mobile, beyond the transmitter and added the headend, encoders, IP encapsulator, multiplexer — all the tools to deploy single-frequency networks."
The ATSC Mobile DTV Candidate Standard A/153 for mobile and handheld services is also known as "ATSC Mobile DTV." The product family includes R&S':
R&S offers the solution with third-party headend products in a complete "one-stop" solution for new installations or for retrofitting the existing transmission systems of any manufacturer. The ATSC Mobile DTV product family employing ATSC-M/H technology began shipping in April.
Read the Rohde &Schwarz ATSC mobile TV white paper, "Mobile TV in the United States: Capitalizing on the Opportunities."

April 18, 2011 11:28:33 PM
OTTAWA (Reuters) - The head of NATO's military operations in Libya Monday accused forces loyal to leader Muammar Gaddafi of hiding in hospitals and firing on civilians from the roofs of mosques in the rebel-held city of Misrata.
Misrata, Libya's third largest city, has been under siege for seven weeks by Gaddafi's military, during which hundreds of civilians are thought to have been killed, and evacuees say conditions are becoming increasingly desperate.
"The regime's forces have used snipers on top of mosques, they are hiding beside hospitals, they have got their armored vehicles in schools and, in fact, they have even taken their uniforms off," Lieutenant-General Charles Bouchard told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.
Bouchard, a Canadian, called the tactics used by Gaddafi's forces as "underhanded" and "immoral" and said he was concerned about the humanitarian situation in Misrata.
"There is some suffering, but I can assure you of one thing: the suffering would have been much much greater if we (NATO) were not there ... the deaths would be in the thousands."

I want to introduce a new feature into my app: permanent voice recognition.
First of all I followed these posts:
Offline Speech Recognition In Android (JellyBean)
and more others, plus other posts from different websites.
Problem: What actually I'm trying to do is to have a permanent voice recognition without displaying google's voice activity. For example: When I start the application the voice recognition should start and listen. When the recognizer matches some words then my app will do different actions accordingly. I do not like to press a button every time I want to do voice recognition, and also I do not like to appear anything on the screen to talk to. Can I do that?
Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you! :)
