Is it just me, or has there been an explosion of buzz words lately? Don't get me wrong, the IT industry innovates at a crazy pace normally, but it seems that things have been evolving faster than ever and that a fundamental change in the way things are done is underway. We can attribute this change to one thing: the cloud. Cloud computing is by no means new, but in 2014 it has come into its own.
Cloud computing is accelerating disruption by changing how data centers deploy, develop and consume everything from software and hardware, to how they offer products and services to their customers.
Let's take a look at a few of these hot technologies and why you'll be adopting some of them, whether you realize it now or not.
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) - What Is It Anyway?
There are many different descriptions of SDN floating around, partly because this is relatively new technology, and it means different things to different vendors. Until the market matures, this confusion will probably persist, at least for a while. The following explanation provides a good foundation for understanding SDN.
SDN decouples the system that makes decisions about where traffic is sent (the control plane) from the underlying systems that forward traffic to the selected destination (the data plane). The inventors and vendors of these systems claim that this simplifies networking.[1] Through the controller, network administrators can quickly and easily make and push out decisions on how the underlying systems (switches, routers) of the forwarding plane will handle the traffic.
SDN requires some method for the control plane to communicate with the data plane. One such mechanism, OpenFlow, is often misunderstood to be equivalent to SDN, but other mechanisms could also fit into the concept.
By separating the control plane from the forwarding planes, data centers can reduce costs and provide better agility, and who wouldn't want or need that? It does this by:
- Reducing reliance on expensive purpose-built, ASIC-based networking hardware and associated pay-as-you-grow models that often result in costly overprovisioning. In other words, you can unlock more value from your network.
- SDNs provide increased programmability that enables easier network scalability and system design and management
- Agility and flexibility. Everybody needs it, everybody wants it, SDN can deliver it. SDN enables organizations to quickly deploy new infrastructure, applications, and services faster than a traditional network would allow.
Often people use OpenFlow and SDN interchangeably, but they are not the same. OpenFlow is only a one element in the overall SDN architecture. OpenFlow is an open standard for a communications protocol that enables the control plane to interact with the forwarding plane. As an open standard it's steered by the OpenFlow Consortium. OpenFlow is not the only protocol available or in development for SDN. The open source network OS, ONOS, led by The Open Networking Lab (ON.Lab) is another option.
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV)
This is another term that can mean different things to different people, depending on the industry. For our purposes, we'll focus on what it means to the telecom industry. To understand what has propelled the development of NVF, let's take a look at how the telecom industry has traditionally deployed their networks. For more than 30 years, telecoms have been relying on specially built systems, some of which saw them developing their own ASICs (via Cisco, F5 or Juniper) and proprietary operating systems (Cisco IOS, for example), and then having that technology built into base stations, routers and Ethernet switches, all optimized for their use. The proprietary nature of all of this translates into very expensive systems and slower development cycles.
Fast forward to today's NFV initiative, which is spearheaded by several of the major telecommunications service providers. The value of NFV is in creating a standards-based approach to virtualizing key telecom applications, radically changing the way telecom networks are built and managed. By doing this, NFV enables those apps to run on industry standard servers. And that of course translates into big cost savings and more flexibility than was previously possible.
What has made NVF suitable for use with commercial off-the shelf (COTS) equipment are the advances made in underlying technology including SDN, faster fabrics (40Gb Ethernet), and more powerful processors.
NFV can be implemented without SDN, although the two solutions can work together. NFV is able to support SDN by providing the infrastructure upon which the SDN software can be run. Both technologies share a common objective, and that is to run on lower cost COTS servers and switches.

The OpenCompute Project (OCP)
The OCP is a Facebook-led initiative to build computing infrastructures that are energy efficient, easily scalable and low cost. The initiative was born out of the design and build of the massive Facebook data center based in Prineville, Oregon. Following in the footsteps of open source software, the OpenCompute designs are open, shared and available for all to use. The OCP includes software, servers, storage, networking, and data center designs. By utilizing OCP open hardware designs, the OCP claims the Facebook Prineville data center delivered 38 percent better efficiency and was 24 percent less expensive to build and run than other state-of-the-art data centers that use proprietary components. Pretty compelling stuff.
As you can see, there are recurring themes spanning all the aforementioned technologies. In case you missed them: low-cost, energy efficient, non-proprietary, open, scalable, flexible, and agile. Even if you are not looking at redesigning your data center now, you may need to in order to stay competitive.
No matter what technology you choose to deploy, one thing is for sure, the cloud is stressing I/O and I/O bottlenecks will be shifted from where they are today. The further away you get from processing, latency becomes more of a challenge. To plan for the barrage of new technology that's coming your way, look for technologies that reduce latency such as RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE). Also seek out solutions that enable flexible usage of resources and that don't lock you into long-term commitments such as specialized appliances, infrastructure and proprietary software so that you are in a better position to take advantage of new innovations as they become available. Now strap yourself in and get ready for the ride.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Russia piles up warships near Syrian coast
Three Russian warships cross Turkey's Bosphorus Strait en route to eastern Mediterranean, near Syrian coast.
Middle East Online
Russian constant presence
ISTANBUL (Turkey) - Three Russian warships crossed Turkey's Bosphorus Strait Thursday en route to the eastern Mediterranean, near the Syrian coast, amid concern in the region over potential US-led strikes in response to the Damascus regime's alleged use of chemical weapons.
The SSV-201 intelligence ship Priazovye, accompanied by the two landing ships Minsk and Novocherkassk passed through the Bosphorus known as the Istanbul strait that separates Asia from Europe, a photographer reported.
The Priazovye on Sunday started its voyage from its home port of Sevastopol in Ukraine "to the appointed region of military service in the eastern Mediterranean", a military official told the Interfax news agency.
Russia, a key ally of Damascus, has kept a constant presence of around four warships in the eastern Mediterranean in the Syrian crisis, rotating them every few months.
It also has a naval base in the Syrian port of Tartus whose origins date back to Moscow's close relationship with Damascus under the Soviet Union.
Moscow vehemently opposes the US-led plans for military action against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in response to the chemical attack outside Damascus last month.
Russian President Vladimir Putin warned on Wednesday that any US Congress approval for a military strike against Syria without UN consensus would represent an "aggression".

No. I'm not the author. Just somebody who is tired of the idiots who think they now all about contrails. Most of these clowns couldn't wind up a rubber band powered toy airplane. Chemtrails are as real as their mother breast milk.

Saturday - April 18, 2009
From: Argenta, IL
Region: Midwest
Topic: Non-Natives, Compost and Mulch, Transplants, Vines
Title: Transplanting honeysuckle bush in Illinois
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:Want to transplant 3 honeysuckle shrubs 10 to 12' tall this month, although not the best time. Please advise.
We found one plant, Diervilla lonicera (northern bush honeysuckle), that is native to Illinois, but is described as a mound-shaped deciduous shrub to three feet tall. We found two others, Lonicera morrowii and Lonicera mackii that are taller, but are considered invasive. Hope you have unusually tall native bushes and not the non-native invasives.
It really doesn't matter, what you are transplanting are woody plants. This is not such a bad time to transplant in Illinois, because it's still pretty cool there. It's getting a little late for transplanting in Texas, but you should still be fine.
First, prepare the hole you are going to transplant into. Do not dig up the shrub until you have completed the preparation of the hole; you don't want the roots to dry out. We recommend choosing a good spot and digging a hole bigger than you think you will need. Mix some compost or other organic material with the native dirt. This will help to make nutrients available to the roots and keep them from standing in water, as the amended dirt will have better drainage. As these bushes are pretty big, we would recommend you trim them down quite a bit in order to handle them. They should still be semi-dormant there, and it will certainly help you when you move them.
This About.com:Landscape article on Transplanting Trees and Shrubs gives good instructions for deciding on rootball size, cutting through roots that are beyond what you can manage, and transportation to the prepared hole. Because the shrub is probably not much out of dormancy, it should be able to withstand this without too much damage. Once you have returned the amended soil to the hole and your shrub is either supporting itself or staked upright, stick a hose in the soil and let water drip in slowly until water stands on the surface. If there is regular rainfall, you shouldn't have to repeat this more than twice a week or so.
If the shrub begins to show signs of stress, like wilting or loss of leaves, you may need to trim off about 1/4 to 1/3 more of the foliage to compensate for the root loss below the ground. This is transplant shock and is not uncommon when a woody plant is being transplanted. Keep up with the deep watering, meanwhile making sure that the roots are not standing in water, that the hole is draining well. Don't fertilize-any plant in the process of transplanting is stressed, and you should never fertilize a plant in stress.

Stepping up on short notice and putting up a strong effort against Pat Healy will earn Kurt Holobaugh a shot in the UFC.
The young Louisiana based fighter took a fight on just over a week's notice to step in and face Healy at the final Strikeforce card on Saturday night.
While he came up short, losing by decision to Healy, Holobaugh put up a valiant effort throughout the 15-minute affair.
Now he gets his shot to prove he belongs with the big boys when he transitions to the UFC later this year.
"I am very happy for Kurt and appreciative of the support and faith that Sean Shelby and the UFC have shown Kurt," said Holobaugh's managed Lex McMahon from Alchemist MMA when confirmed his move to the UFC to MMAWeekly.com
on Tuesday.
"I'm excited for Kurt to have the opportunity to showcase his skill and tenacity at his true weight class of 145lbs and with the benefit of a full camp."
Holobaugh does normally compete at featherweight, but with the chance to step up and face an opponent the caliber of Healy on short notice, he jumped at the chance.
Now Holobaugh will move to the UFC and look to establish himself in the 145lb division this year.

Google is undertaking a brand new redesign of Google AdWords to bring it up to date with a mobile first & multi-screen world. The new design will also function better for advertisers whose campaigns are becoming increasingly complex with not just regular search ads, but display, video and remarketing campaigns as well.
Here are Google's first screenshots of the new redesign.
Google used Material Design, which is featured in the recent redesigns of multiple other AdWords products.
For advertisers, while this is changing the look and the ways advertisers use the back end of AdWords, there will not be any migrations, upgrades or changes required when elements of the new design go live. So you don't need to worry about any undertaking required once you get the new design.
Google will be rolling out this new experience on a limited basis, throughout the rest of this year and into 2017. Google will invite new advertisers to test run the new experience and provide feedback, similar to how Google has handled the redesign in other products. Google does not have any way to sign up for the new AdWords experience, but it wouldn't hurt to contact your AdWords rep if you are interested in getting it early.

Meet the veterinarian who wrote the book on
Homeopathy for Your Pets
Wendy Jensen, DVM
Dr. Jensen is a Cornell-trained New Hampshire veterinarian who has practiced 100% homeopathy for the past twenty years. Certified in veterinary homeopathy by the Academy of Veterinary Homeopathy, she has seen her success rate in treating chronic diseases increase dramatically since leaving traditional practice. Realizing the hard work it took to train herself away from the traditional medical model, she wrote this book to help her clients more easily make the same transition.
The Practical Handbook of Veterinary Homeopathy: Healing Our Companion Animals from the Inside Out opens your eyes to the enormous potential of homeopathy. Our beloved animals often suffer from chronic diseases or repeating complaints that respond only temporarily to traditional treatments, requiring frequent or even lifelong dosing. As the staunchest advocate for your own cats and dogs, you can greatly increase their health by learning to recognize chronic disease and partnering with a homeopathic veterinarian. Together, you can avoid, reduce, or eliminate your animal's dependence on medications. Homeopathic veterinarians rely on your observations to evaluate treatment, and this book, full of success stories, will teach you exactly what information is needed in order to help your animals not only heal, but regain their former vitality, energy, and zest for life.

Westone UM2 stage monitors
" Disclaimer I bought these about 3 years ago, used them a lot and got to "know" them well. The (sort of a) good thing is: They still perform as good as they did when I first tried them on.

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to an apparatus for standardizing typewriting margins. More particularly the invention relates to an apparatus which prevents inadvertent typing outside of the portion of the leaf of paper upon which it is desired to type and within the predetermined margins where it is desired not to type.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Reference is made to the following U.S. patents: Anholf U.S. Pat. No. 1,587,133, "Space Guide", issued on June 1, 1926; Lancaster U.S. Pat. No. 1,503,837, "Typewriter Sheet", issued on Aug. 5, 1924; Daboe U.S. Pat. No. 2,878,917, "Typewriter Backing Sheet With Audible Warning Device", issued on Mar. 24, 1959; Ohashi U.S. Pat. No. 898,916, "Typewriter Backing Sheet", issued on Sept. 15, 1908; and Gare, U.S. Pat. No. 2,744,606, "Line Indicating Device For Typewriters", issued on May 8, 1956.
The Anholf patent shows and describes a backing sheet which is placed behind the leaf of paper to be typed upon. A graduation for dertermining a number of lines remaining before reaching the bottom of the leaf of paper is included. A scale showing the number of typing spaces remaining on a line is also included. Alternating dark and light stripes assist the operator in alignment of the leaf of paper on the backing sheet and in determining the number of lines and spaces remaining before the margins are reached.
In the Lancaster patent, various water marks are included in the leaf of paper to apprise the operator of the location of the various margins.
The Daboe patent shows and describes an audio warning device which is of interest because it includes a scale and graduation much like that of the Anholf patent. However, in Daboe the scale is folded over the top (lateral) edge of a leaf of paper prior to insertion in the typewriter by the operator, which assists the operator in aligning the leaf of paper on the backing sheet.
The Ohashi and Gare patents (Column 3, Line 17) show graduations visible to the operator along a longitudinal edge indicating the number of lines remaining to a certain point on the backing sheet (Ohashi) or envelope (Gare). Ohashi has slots in the backing sheet for insertion of the leaf of paper to be typed upon. The slots will grip and prevent the leaf of paper from moving laterally. Gare shows a folded sheet with the graduation which is formed into an pocket. A corner of the leaf of paper is inserted in the pocket with a longitudinal edge in contact with the fold of the sheet.
None of these prior constructions automatically prevented the operator from inadvertently typing within the predetermined margins of the leaf of paper. Also, the leaf of paper was not grasped and held by the prior constructions in a secure manner against both longitudinal and lateral movement in relation to the scales and graduations, or other indicating devices.
The invention is an apparatus for standardizing typewriten margins which comprises a flexible front sheet with a scale across a lateral edge thereof and a graduation along the longitudinal edges for indicating the number of typing spaces and number of lines remaining before reaching a predetermined margin, respectively. The front sheet is attached to a back sheet along a seam adjacent three edges of the front sheet leaving an opening along one edge, for example, a longitudinal edge. A leaf of paper can be inserted between the front and back sheets through the opening provided. The leaf is grasped and held by the front and back sheets along th seam where they are crowded together. The front sheet has a cut-out forming a window which corresponds to the portion of the leaf to be typed upon. The part of the leaf of paper which constitutes the predetermined margins is covered by the front sheet. Pagination slots are provided in the proper locations on the front sheet.
FIG. 1 is a front view of an apparatus for standardizing typewriten margins as constructed according to the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of the apparatus taken along section line 2--2 of FIG. 1.
As shown in FIG. 1, the invention has a rectangular front sheet 10. The front sheet has a rectangular cutout portion which forms a window 15 (to be discussed in detail hereinafter). In addition to window 15, the front sheet has an upper pagination slot 18 above the upper right (as shown in FIG. 1) corner of window 15 and a lower pagination slot 22 which is centered below window 15 (as shown in FIG. 1). The upper pagination slot would normally be utilized only for pagination of the first page. The lower pagination slot would then be utilized, for example, for all pages following page one (as discussed above). Front sheet 10 has an indentation 25 located at the right (as shown in FIG. 1) longitudinal edge 27 of front sheet 10 (to be discussed in detail hereinafter).
A back sheet (or backing) 40 is attached to front sheet 10. The front and back sheets are made of some light, very thin, non-lumpy, non-stiff but firm, flexible, durable, mat plastic, reinforced paper, or other suitable material. The preferred material is a clear flexible plastic. If plastic is used, front sheet 10 can be attached to back sheet 40 by a standard method, for example, an outer heat seal 45 along the upper lateral edge 46 and the lower lateral edge 47 of the front sheet and along the left longitudinal edge 48 (as shown in FIG. 1) of the front sheet. A similar inner heat seal or seam 50, which is spaced toward the center of the sheets from outer seal 45, provides additional strength to the attachment of front sheet 10 to back sheet 40.
The channel 52 (FIG. 2) formed between seal 45 and seam 50 acts as a support for maintaining the rigidity of the rectangular shape of the front and back sheets and, therefore, window 15.
The area defined by seam 50 and the right longitudinal edge 27 of the front sheet is substantially the same size as the leaf of paper (not shown) to be inserted between the front and back sheets. For inserting the leaf of paper, indentation 25 allows back sheet 40 to be pulled away from front sheet 10 along the right longitudinal edge 27. The leaf of paper is inserted between the front and back sheets until the leaf of paper is engaged by the longitudinal portion 56 of seam 50. As shown in FIG. 2, front sheet 10 and back sheet 40 are crowded together along seam 50. The leaf of paper is wedged between front sheet 10 and back sheet 40 near seam 50 and is grasped and held thereby. A similar grasping and holding will occur along the lateral portions 59 (upper) and 60 (lower) of seam 50. The portion of the leaf to be typed upon shows through window 15 and the predetermined margins are covered by front sheet 10. (The size of the margins is set by the size window 15.)
A spacing scale 68 is located adjacent the upper lateral portion 59 of seam 50 and the upper lateral edge 46 of front sheet 10. The spacing scale 68 has numerals which ascend from the longitudinal edges 70 and 71 of window 15 and, therefore, the left and right predetermined margins toward the center of the lateral edge of window 15. The numerals and lines of the spacing scale would correspond to the amount of space required for a single typed letter as shown by the a, b, and x's along the bottom of scale 68. Thus, the operator is apprised of the number of spaces remaining on a line by reference to the numerals of scale 68. The numerals of scale 68 could have many different arrangements such as ascending from the right longitudinal margin to the left longitudinal margin.
Graduations 78 and 80 are located adjacent the longitudinal edges 27 and 48 of front sheet 10, respectively. Graduations 78 and 80 are similiar and are provided with numerals which ascend from the upper and lower lateral edges 81 and 82 of window 15 toward the center (and, therefore, the upper and lower predetermined margins). The graduations 78 and 80 will show the operator (for the second half of the typing upon the leaf of paper) how many lines remaining before the lower lateral edge 82 of window 15 is reached. Footnote indicators 84, 85, and 86 are provided as a part of graduation 78 on front sheet 10 to supply the operator with an indication of where to begin footnotes. The numerals of graduations 78 and 80 could, of course, ascend from the lower lateral edge 82 of window 15 to the upper lateral edge 81.
The apparatus can be constructed for any size leaf of paper, for example, legal size, letter size, etc. Any desired predetermined margin can be supplied by varying the size (and shape) of window 15. The spacing scale 68 could be scaled for any size of type, for example, pica or elite.
After placing the leaf of paper to be typed upon between the front and back sheets, the operator inserts the apparatus into a typewriter (not shown). The portion of the leaf showing through window 15 is then typed upon (and any desired pagination is made through slots 18 and 22). If the operator should inadvertently continue to type after the right longitudinal edge 71 of window 15 is reached, no typed lettering would appear on the leaf of paper because the ribbon (not shown) would impinge upon front sheet 10. If the operator should inadvertently continue to type after the lower lateral edge of window 15 is reached, no typing would appear upon the leaf of paper because the ribbon would impinge upon front sheet 10. The operator is similarly prevented from typing above or to the left of window 15. Thus, the operator is prevented from typing within the desired predetermined margins because those predetermined margins are covered by front sheet 10. If front sheet 10 is clear, any markings within the predetermined margins would, or course, be visible.
Whereas the present invention has been described in particular realtion to the drawings attached hereto, it should be understood that other and further modifications, apart from those shown or suggested herein, may be made within the spirit and scope of this invention.

Minor correction: not "the world's first internally programmable computer", but "America's first internally programmable computer". Kirsch's project was several years behind the SSEM and EDSAC work in England.
Yep, apologies for the error. Fixed.
I think the "internally programmable computer" description might be a bit of wordplay. It could be interpreted as a "stored program" computer, but it could be taken literally: the end of the quote says "my wife and I used to walk into it to program it."
I may be wrong, but I think it was the US's first internally programmable computer he invented, not the world's, which, by most accounts, was the Manchester Baby (SSEM)
Fixed, thanks.
I heard that Alan Shepard, first man in space, isn't fond of Apple, too.
I've had more or less this same conversation with Russell a few years ago, back when I lived in that neighborhood, at a different café a few blocks away. He liked that I was using my computer to paint, and we talked a bit about software designed to create new works in the style of famous painters, which was way over my head but still super cool. Amazing guy, glad to hear he's still out and about and blowing people's minds!
Wait a minute… how sure are we that he isn't just in the pocket of Big Indie Coffee Shop? "Wow- all I have to do is show up in a café in Portland, and I'll get an amazing interview dropped in my lap?"
Seriously, though, it is a kind of wonderful that he is just going around encouraging people to do stuff.
For what it's worth I code on my iPad. Also America is not the world buddy, stop exaggerating.
Double post: http://boingboing.net/2012/08/07/an-encounter-with-russell-kirs.html
I like that comment from Kirsch. "Nothing is withheld from us which we have conceived to do." He's right, of course, and he's also right in saying most people don't ever try to do anything productive. It's easier to argue against trying to be creative and productive than to actually attempt it. But even if you attempt it, you won't fail. Everyone gains something, even from merely trying.
I use my iPad to draw and paint, that may not count as creating to people with a certain mindset. I use my PC and my Mac to do the same things. Not everybody needs to be an engineer, and somebody needs to be there to use the tools the engineers create.
According to @boingboing-c5dad0890e623f112501bd5931a20f69:disqus above, Kirsch is more than willing to consider digital painting as creation. I think the problem is a lot of people don't understand the creative potential of the iPad, because the average user goes to the app store and buys games and movies and surfs the internet.
Which is of course totally different from the average PC user. And – o horror – the majoity of pens sold will see nothing more creative than a shopping list or "Mom called."
Hey man, tell that to Kirsch, not me.
Oh well :-)
Don't ask what your computer can do for you,
ask what you can do with your computer…
This is interesting. Sometimes I wonder why some computer people are more famous than others. I think of Meredith Meredith Vieira not knowing who Tim Berners-Lee was at the Olympics. We know that Steve Jobs and Apple had/have a huge PR team. It was just recently revealed that they didn't advertise much in the early days of some products because they knew the media would cover it extensively.
It's a bit sad that our real world "wizards" have to remind people one on one about their role in making our world.
The people who actually develop the products aren't always out there talking but their work, probably because they would rather be doing the work. Promoting yourself can be very uncomfortable.
I'm not sure about the distinction but I always thought John Vincent Atanasoff developed the first US computer. Don't know about the internally programmable part.
This was a particularly awesome episode of Portlandia.

Seraphim angels, crazed by divine sovereignty, make their mark with other outsiders such as the Jackal Warrior Anubisian, and the Kami—Spirit Beings of majestic natural power; the Kami of the Sacred Gate and Kami of the Temperate Woods. The fey known as selkies, and a new monstrous race of merfolk, the Octimerrae, make the waters dangerous to travel. The Sedim, intelligent magical beasts capable of extraplanar travel, round up the roster—however, new equipment such as the harpoon and khopesh are included, as well as deity information for Anubis (Pharaonic Pantheon).
Like our other digital documents, there is a full-color and print-friendly version of the material, and there is also a PDF portfolio of Feedback Forms, and examples of each of them filled out by our helpful friends, Joe and Mary.
Heed the Call of the Beastlands, and help us Playtest our stuff (help us break our new toys)!
