SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/28/13 -- SpiderOak, the 'zero-knowledge' privacy cloud technologies provider, revealed today that the company will release an open source 'zero-knowledge' application framework (ZKAF) to push privacy further into the web than previously possible. The official launch will come at the RSA Conference in San Francisco and will further signify the evolution from Internet security to cloud privacy.
The ZKAF open source code will be made available on February 25. Additional details leading up to the announcement will be available at the SpiderOak website: https://spideroak.com
2013 - The Year Privacy was Found
As the cloud has gone mainstream, so too has the conversation around security. With more data being pushed to cloud servers throughout the world -- the need to ensure the data is safe grows. Amidst this dialogue, the concept of 'privacy' has been drowned out as it was previously thought not possible to both preserve the privacy of data and also benefit from the advantages of the Internet. This is now all changing.
SpiderOak's launch of its ZKAF will enable companies and/or developers to apply this framework on top of their application and enjoy all the benefits of 'zero-knowledge' privacy without having to understand the detailed specifics around cryptography and encryption. In practical terms, this means that any data generated by an application will never be readable on the server it is stored and, henceforth, remains private and in full control of the end user.
SpiderOak: Privacy Built Into the Technology
From the ground up, SpiderOak was designed with privacy at the core. The company's industry-leading 'zero-knowledge' privacy standard protects user data by encrypting file backup, synchronization and storage throughout every stage. SpiderOak servers never store the plaintext version of a user's encryption keys (or password). As a result, nobody can view any portion of a user's content including filenames, file types, folder names, etc. Even the members of the SpiderOak staff with physical access to the servers can never view plaintext user information.
With SpiderOak Blue, the company brings the 'zero-knowledge' privacy environment to the enterprise. Through a virtual machine running behind a company's firewall, SpiderOak Blue connects to LDAP / ActiveDirectory to provide consistent authentication procedures. IT departments have the flexibility and control to create and deploy specific end-device builds depending on the user -- managing how and when individual files should be backed up and/or synced. A private cloud offering is also available such that the entire solution is contained behind the company's firewall or within their server environments.

About SpiderOak
SpiderOak provides a cloud backup, sync, and sharing environment that is 100% private. Our 'Zero-Knowledge' Privacy Standard ensures absolute confidentiality between you and your data -- everywhere, every time and from every device. With SpiderOak, you maintain full and complete control of your data in a centralized, managed and fully protected environment. SpiderOak: we've got your back(up).

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

PORT ORANGE, Fla., March 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Thinspace Technology Inc. (OTCBB: THNS; "Thinspace or the "Company"), formerly known as Vanity Events Holdings and Propalms Ltd., a global provider of reliable, scalable and affordable application delivery, virtualization, and cloud client technology to public and private sector companies and organizations of all sizes, today is pleased to announce that it has formed a Technical Advisory Board and appointed its first members to the board: Ben Cherian, a cloud-computing expert; Julian Levy, an enterprise infrastructure and financial services executive; and Claudio Rodrigues, Thinspace's Chief Technical Architect.
With over 20 years of experience in cloud computing, managed services, networking, enterprise services, and application development, Ben Cherian is a senior executive bringing volumes of expertise in the Company's core markets to its Technical Advisory Board. Currently he maintains his role as VP Strategic Development for Inktank Storage, a company focused on transforming the storage industry by driving the widespread adoption and ubiquity of software-defined-storage with Ceph, where he is responsible for partnerships, strategic alliances, and corporate development. Previously, he was the Chief Strategy Officer of Midokura, a cloud network virtualization vendor and the GM of Emerging Technologies at DreamHost. Before DreamHost, Ben had started several successful technology companies: a cloud-focused managed services company, a CIO consultancy, an ERP implementation firm, and a systems / network integration firm.
"Implementing virtual desktops can still be a difficult complicated proposition for some companies. Thinspace's vision of an end-to-end supported VDI solution is a product that the market is clamoring for. I'm pleased to be part of the technical advisory board and am looking forward to helping Thinspace's team as they move into the cloud," stated Ben Cherian.
Julian Levy is an experienced executive based out of London with a deep understanding of Enterprise infrastructure and Financial Services. He has covered roles in both the front and back office including Software and Services Equity Research at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, and the European SVP for Technology Research and Development at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Before this he was a senior technologist at Credit Suisse Group and CSFB, where he ran global middleware and security engineering functions as well having hands-on operational, engineering and management experience at a number of start-ups prior to 2000. Commenting on his appointment, he stated, "I'm very excited to be able to join Thinspace's Technical Advisory Board - with their recent acquisitions and long-term strategy, I think they have the opportunity to be highly disruptive."
As Thinspace's Chief Technical Architect and now a member of its Technical Advisory Board, Claudio Rodrigues is focused on driving innovation for the Company's next generation Pano virtualization products. Prior to Thinspace, he was the founder and CEO of Terminal-Services.NET and later TSFactory Inc, that brought several unique, simple and affordable tools to the market. With over 20 years of experience in the SBC/VDI market, Claudio was responsible for deploying hundreds of thousands of seats for several large enterprises worldwide. Thanks to his work with the Terminal Services communities he was the first person ever to be awarded the Microsoft MVP Award specifically for RDS back in 2001. He is also a well known BriForum presenter and a BriForum GeekOut Master Champion having won it three times in a row and for that reason, he was banned from it by Brian Madden himself.
Owen Dukes, Chief Executive Officer of Thinspace Technology, commented, "On behalf of Thinspace, we would like to officially welcome Ben, Julian and Claudio to our newly formed Technical Advisory Board. Their caliber of experience and expertise as well as thoughtful oversight and vision will be instrumental in ensuring our technology and business strategy is on point, on track, and competitive with other application delivery, virtualization and cloud providers."
Thinspace Technology operates in high growth B2B markets of application delivery, virtualization and cloud client technology that make it easier, more flexible and more affordable for companies and IT Managers to conduct and streamline computing operations securely from any server - anywhere in the world.

According to Gartner research, the global desk top virtualization market is expected to surpass $65 billion in 2015.

This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

That is a very nice BW portrait, awesome job. I would second you on that focus peaking update, I think Fuji should be able to do just that on the next firmware update.
Until then, I'm leaving my manual focus lenses at bay.

Deepika Padukone: I am Wary of Relationships
Image courtesy Jatin Kampani
You are now in the top league of actresses...
I was fortunate to land a big film like Om Shanti Om as my debut and that automatically put me in the top league. But it's not only about that, it's about enjoying what I do and trying to better myself. Whatever else happens along the way is an added bonus.
Now, you've started replacing other actresses in movies. Recently, you replaced Kareena Kapoor in Ram Leela.
What's meant to be is meant to be. It came my way and I'm glad it worked out. I've always wanted to work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. It's every actor's dream.
A lot has been said about the Kareena-Deepika animosity...
There has never been any issue between us for the media to keep writing about. Personally, I've never had any issues with her. So when I'm asked this, I don't understand where it's coming from.
So, what's the life of a 26-year-old single girl in a big bad city like Mumbai?
Like that of any other 26-year-old. I live alone so I do miss having my family around. There are days when I come home exhausted and have to manage everything single-handedly. Those are the times I wish my parents were there to just hold me and say it'll be okay. Or times when I suddenly have the most random thought and feel like sharing it with my sister. In terms of a relationship, I want something normal like my parents have. But more than anything, I just want happiness and peace of mind. Whoever I end up with and whatever I do, peace of mind is a must. I'm told that I'm the giver in a relationship, but sometimes it would be nice to get a little in return. But right now, I'm not in the frame of mind for a relationship. I'm a little wary. So I don't see it happening.
Will you date an actor again?
How I can say? Never say never. But it's not about what that person does. What matters is what that person is made of.
But dating an actor won't give you peace of mind, right?
You can't say that. I can give you many examples where people have had successful marriages and relationships. True, the nature of the business is such that you're constantly travelling and meeting a lot of people. But you can't take away from the fact that there are committed people out here too.
What was it like working with Ranbir Kapoor in Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani? Was there any awkwardness?
No, it was a blast. Ayan Mukerji (Director), Ranbir and I have known one another for long. I've known Ayan since the time Ranbir and he were making Wake Up Sid. We were three friends hanging out. The only new thing was that I was working with Ayan for the first time.
Ayan wouldn't have cast us if he'd thought we'd be awkward with each other. That would have been a huge risk to take. Ranbir and I keep saying that irrespective of what we've gone through personally, we'll never let it affect us. No one wanted to take that chance earlier. Hopefully, we will get a lot more opportunities now.
There were talks that Ranbir and you are getting back together.
No, that's not happening. This speculation is bound to happen considering the relationship we've shared. I guess we're both young and at an age when relationships happen. But we've found a different kind of friendship and affection, which was absent when we were dating. We were naive back then, we're more mature today. I'm happy in the place our friendship is. I don't want to complicate it.
Are you over him?
Yes. How would I have worked with him otherwise? I'm still fond of him and care a lot about him. But some things are just not meant to be. And I accept that. You can't force it. What I shared with him, I won't share with anyone else. I know the same goes for him. We'll always be there for each other.
The buzz is that something is brewing between Ranveer Singh and you.
We're both young and in a profession where we get linked to someone or the other every second day. We spent a lot of time together because of our workshops for Ram Leela. We actually had no life in those 20 days. We were in each other's faces, so this speculation is bound to happen. Having said that, let me add that he has great energy and is a fun and entertaining person to be around.
The criticism against your last film Cocktail was that it's regressive. It reinforces the clichés that if a girl smokes and parties, she's bad.
Unfortunately, this is the situation in reality. I know a lot of critics liked the film to a certain point and a lot felt that the film was regressive. But like it or not, that's the way it is. Guys will date a Veronica (Deepika's character in the film) but they will want to marry a Meera (Diana Penty's character). Besides, the film's writer Imtiaz Ali was just telling a story. He's not preaching or telling you what one should do. He's just holding up a mirror to society.
What made you choose the role of Veronica?
Producer Dinesh Vijan offered me both Veronica and Meera's roles. I was confused as to which role to play. I called Imtiaz up because he's someone I trust with these decisions. He said you haven't realised it but you're ready to play Veronica. But she was so not me. This was two years ago. Today, I've opened up as a person. I have become more confident. I knew it wasn't going to be easy. It wouldn't be like Meera in Love Aaj Kal, where all I had to do was be me. So while I found it exciting, I was also terrified about playing Veronica. If people are giving me credit for the success of the film, it's thanks to (director) Homi Adajania. Veronica's madness is actually Homi's madness. He made me look so good. I don't know if I'd be able to deliver if he wasn't my director.

Murder is the killing of another human being without justification or valid excuse, and it is especially the unlawful killing of another human being with malice aforethought. This state of mind may, depending upon the jurisdiction, distinguish murder from other forms of unlawful homicide, such as manslaughter.
Most societies, from ancient to modern, have considered murder a very serious crime deserving harsh punishment for purposes of retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation, or incapacitation. There are many reasons why murder has been criminalized, including its costs to society as well as being considered intrinsically wrong. For example, murder may be considered intrinsically wrong because it violates a right to life or is oppressive; murder may be costly to society by undermining law and order, by squandering potential accomplishments of the victims, by risking escalation of violence, or by spreading fear and grief.
In most countries, a person convicted of murder is typically given a long prison sentence, possibly a life sentence where permitted. In other countries, the death penalty may be imposed for such an act; this practice, however, is becoming less common.
The Times is a UK daily newspaper, the original English-language newspaper titled "Times".
The newspaper is also the origin of the font/typeface; Times New Roman.
(The) Times may also refer to:
Some newspapers informally referred to as "The times" contextually or within their local environment:
The Nanny is an American television sitcom which originally aired on CBS from 1993 to 1999, starring Fran Drescher as Fran Fine, a Jewish Queens native who becomes the nanny of three children from the New York/British high society.
The show was created and produced by Drescher and her husband Peter Marc Jacobson, taking much of its inspiration from Drescher's personal life growing up in Queens, involving names and characteristics based on her relatives and friends. The show earned a Rose d'Or and one Emmy Award, out of a total of twelve nominations, and Drescher was twice nominated for a Golden Globe and an Emmy. The sitcom has also spawned several foreign adaptations, loosely inspired by the original scripts.
Jewish-American Fran Fine turns up on the doorstep of British Broadway producer Maxwell Sheffield (Charles Shaughnessy) to sell cosmetics after having been both dumped and fired by her boyfriend and employer Danny Imperialli. Instead, she finds herself the nanny of Maxwell's three children, Maggie, Brighton, and Grace. Maxwell Sheffield is unhappy about it at first, but Fran turns out to be just what he and his family needed, with her off-beat nurturing, no-nonsense honesty, and 'Queens logic'. She helps turn Maxwell and his children into a healthy, happy family.

What Manual Setting for Iceskating Action?
Aug 3, 2008
I plan to use my S100FS to shoot the skaters in action during the ice skating competition, Skate Asia
I have not much experience with manual setting but I do not be stuck with just the automatic sport mode. So, some pointers on what to manually set my camera for the shoot are much appreciated.
FYI The event will be held in a shopping mall, the ice skating rink is one floor below the public viewing area. So, I will be using much zoom from above.

A teenage mountain biker has beaten out cycling's Olympians to win a major BikeNZ award.
Anton Cooper, an 18-year-old from North Canterbury, made history this year when he became the first ever UCI cross-country mountain bike world champion in any age-group from New Zealand.
He has now capped the year off by being named 2012 BikeNZ People's Choice Award winner.
This performance shot Cooper into the limelight and earned him the title, as voted on by the New Zealand public, ahead of Olympic medallists Sarah Walker and Simon van Velthooven.
"It's pretty cool, I guess being voted by the public reflects both sporting ability and also indicates what sort of person you are as well. It's a pretty cool acknowledgement and a great honour," said Cooper.
"I think the public is often the truest voting system, rather than a panel of four or five people, so to be recognised by the New Zealand public is really cool."
It wasn't all bad for the Olympic cyclists, however, as they snapped up seven of the eight 2012 BikeNZ Rider of the Year awards announced today.
Road riders Jack Bauer and Linda Villumsen won the male and female rider of the year awards in their discipline, following impressive performances in London.
Van Velthooven cashed in on his Olympic bronze medal to win the male track rider of the year, while current individual pursuit world champion Alison Shanks took the women's award.
Walker was rewarded for her Olympic silver medal with female BMX rider of the year, with fellow Olympian Marc Willers claiming the men's award.
In mountain biking, it was Olympian Karen Hanlen and Cooper taking out top honours.
Teenage road and track rider Sophie Williamson was crowned best emerging talent while downhill mountain biker Justin Leov was honoured with the lifetime achievement award for his dedication and service to cycling over the past decade.

BOSTON, Aug. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- President Pam Y. Eddinger was among a select group of higher education and nonprofit leaders assembled by the Obama administration on August 12, 2014, to discuss efforts to boost student readiness for college. Education Secretary Arne Duncan, White House Domestic Policy Council Director Cecilia Munoz, and other administration officials hosted the gathering in the Indian Treaty Room at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
The meeting was a follow-up to a White House College Opportunity Summit in January 2014, also attended by President Eddinger, at which President Obama and the First Lady issued a call for commitments from the nation's education leadership to expand access to higher education, especially among low-income and underrepresented students. At that event, President Obama cited Bunker Hill Community College's summer readiness program as a valuable way to help incoming students catch up the summer before they enter college. At yesterday's meeting, leaders provided an update on commitments made at the January gathering.
"Our most effective developmental education reform efforts have been faculty led, administratively supported and focused on student-centered learning," said BHCC President Eddinger. "We have experienced success by organizing and empowering faculty to lead the change effort, while at the same time sustaining administrative leadership and guidance."
Eddinger cited progress on major institutional commitments made at the January summit which have positively impacted student retention, course completion and progress toward degree attainment. These initiatives include expansion of college transition programs; curricular alignment with Boston Public Schools; dual enrollment programs that enable local high school students to earn college credits; new learning communities that accelerate and contextualize developmental education; curricular reforms that shorten the developmental math sequence; expansion of LifeMap, the College's broad-ranging education and career planning effort; emergency assistance grants that address barriers to student retention; and growth of the Learn and Earn internship program that partners with local business to place students in internships with major Greater Boston firms.

Very easy to install, very solid installation. Be sure to take care on bumpy roads and sharp corners, as it seems like the front installation bracket tends to rock around quite a bit (audible noise even over the radio), especially if you have a heavier bike. Probably due to the design of a heavy duty rubber strap holding onto the front crossbar.

This review is from: The Roads to Sata: A 2000-mile Walk Through Japan (Origami Classroom) (Paperback)
Alan Booth walked the entire way, alone, from Cape Soya, on the far northern tip of the island of Hokkaido, to Cape Sata, as the title states, at the far southern end of the island of Kyushu. The subtitle states that it was a 2000-mile walk but he kept track of it in the local (and global) measure of kilometers, and felt it was a bit more, at 3,300 km. He therefore walked across three of the main Japanese islands (which included the main one of Honshu); he did not cross the fourth main island, Shikoku. It took him 128 days; he timed it right in terms of weather, starting in June in Hokkaido, with some snow still on the peaks, and ending in the October, as the leaves were turning, and it was becoming colder, in Kyushu. He never states the year; one reviewer suggest 1977, another, the early `80's. Clearly it was before 1986, when the book was first published.
It is a marvelous guide for non-Japanese on what to expect in the rural areas of Japan. Most certainly, he is "off the beaten track," never traveling through Tokyo or Kyoto. It is also about Japan, not Alan Booth "finding himself." Knowledge about the author comes in bits and pieces, almost incidentally. He was in theater, and moved to Japan in 1970. He married a Japanese woman, and does speak the language (despite what some natives think!). Like a good Englishman, he drinks beer, and the references to this vital "foot gasoline," as he says, are frequent. He never once mentions drinking water! Almost always, he stays in one of the local inns, called "ryokans"; generally, it is possible to walk from one village to another, all of which seem to have them. He is offered numerous rides, in automobiles, which he always declines, usually to the amazement (and sometimes the anger) of the driver.
He commences his book by saying that it is absurd to try to make sweeping generalizations about 120 million people. His meetings are the chance encounters of the road, generally quite brief. They are a wide spectrum, the good and the bad, but in general he does experience "the kindness of strangers," particularly towards foreigners, though he makes the exception for young boys, who tend to jeer at him, and wishes for more encounters with young girls, who are invariably polite. He has a wry sense of humor, most often conveyed when he tells anecdotes involving speaking Japanese with someone for 5-10 minutes, and yet they are still reluctant to let him stay in their ryokan, because he does not speak Japanese, and, of course, could not eat with chopsticks! "What was I speaking, Swahili"?
Booth does "nuance." There are many "Japans." For example: "Crossing from Niigata to Toyama had reminded me a little of crossing from Yugoslavia to Austria: from a land of calloused laborers to one where slightly obese people consume cream pastries and have safe-deposit boxes in air-conditioned banks." Ever observant, he highlights some of the cultural differences; consider: "....I couldn't help noticing how different was the determinedly sanctimonious atmosphere that pervades most Christian churches from the breezy nonchalance with which visitors treat the religious monuments of Japan." Generalizations, there are a few: "And then the litany began: tiny country, no natural resources, misunderstood by everyone..." Booth even has observations about one of the classic divides between men and women: Why men don't ask directions! And the answer is: more often than not, the person questioned doesn't know, or gives the wrong directions!
Booth left us far too soon, dying of colon cancer, in his 40's. In his legacy he has also left us Looking for the Lost: Journeys Through a Vanishing Japan (Kodansha globe series) which I intend to read. I envy his journey, and loved the way that he told the story. With his inspiration, perhaps I can emulate 7-day segments, with a few being in the national parks. 5-stars, plus.

Thursday, November 3, 2005
September 21, 2005
U.S. Rep. Greg Walden was honored last week for his work on behalf of the Northwest pear industry.
Walden, R-Ore., received an appreciation plaque on Sept. 14 that was created by Hood River artist Trudi Klinger of Mystic Mud Studios. The award was presented to Walden on the nation's capital steps by Kevin Moffitt, president of the Pear Bureau Northwest.
"Congressman Walden has been a strong and consistent supporter of the Northwest pear industry from the beginning of his legislative career," said Moffitt. "We wanted to recognize and thank him for the many different aspects of support he has shown, which has ranged from export issues to helping get more fresh pears into the nation's school system."
Ralph Smiley, president of the Hood River County Farm Bureau, echoed Moffitt's affirmation of Walden's efforts on behalf of farmers. He said Walden had a good working knowledge of the tree fruit business because he had grown up on a cherry orchard in The Dalles and currently resides in Hood River. Since taking federal office in 1998, Walden has advocated for changes in foreign trade laws and other legislation to benefit American farmers.
"We think the world of him because he's really been working on our behalf most of his life – we just couldn't find a better person for that office" said Smiley.
Walden was primarily given the plaque for voting in favor of the Central American and Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTFA-DR). That legislation, which has been signed into law by President George W. Bush, is intended to "level the playing field" in the import/export market with six nations. Under CAFTA-DR, which has not yet taken effect, most tariffs on U.S. produce – some that top 60 percent of value – will be dropped. Walden believed it was only fair to change the import rules since 99 percent of imports from Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic arrive in domestic markets duty-free.
The inequity in trade occurred more than 20 years ago in an effort by the U.S. to help the ailing economies of Central America. Since these countries are all now growing in prosperity, Walden joined many other officials in the belief that it was time for U.S. farmers to also be given a break.
Walden contended that CAFTA-DR would grant customs agents more authority for inspections. And violators of environmental regulations would face stronger enforcement actions. He said another benefit of CAFTA-DR was that foreign competitors could no longer create regulations just to close markets to American imports.
"It's just the standard rule of economics, we produce fruit of terrific value and quality and now we can compete on the price," said Walden.
Mark Powers, vice-president of the Northwest Horticulture Council, said Walden has also played a key role in safeguarding orchards from foreign diseases and pests. For example, the federal official lobbied for a ban on Ya Pears from China until a fungal disease could be brought under control.
"Congressman Walden has been a valuable and strong friend of the fruit industry for a number of years and we just felt it was time to thank him for his hard work," said Powers.
Fred Duckwall, president of Duckwall-Pooley Fruit Company in Odell, said Walden always finds time to sit down and visit with local officials who make the trip to Washington, D.C.
"We always appreciate the hospitality, it makes you feel like your government is there to listen to you. He is very unassuming and always makes you feel at home," said Duckwall, who also serves as a Hood River Port Commissioner.
Walden said encouraging the Department of Agriculture to purchase pears for the school lunch program was an "easy sell."
"Kids like them and they are high in nutrition," he said.
In 1999, one of Walden's first actions was to get pears taken out of an export bill that sharply limited the shipping grade and size. Since that time, Walden has looked for every opportunity to help farmers in Oregon make a living in the complex global marketplace.
"I am very honored by this award. With my background, I realize how important the fruit industry is to a healthy economy in this region," Walden said.
