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.

Blogs HNN CAN MUBARAK CONTROL THE ELECTIONS?Nov 1, 2006 1:38 pm
Not very well or as invisibly as he has hoped. Saad Eddin Ibrahim describes a growingly defiant civil society:
This year promises to be very different. In the spring the judges held a nation-wide assembly and resolved that unless the regime granted them full independence, and exclusive oversight of the voting process they would not supervise the upcoming presidential (or parliamentary) races. On September 2 they made their final demands: allow civil society groups to observe the voting process, stop interfering in the definition of legitimate judges for purposes of the election, and agree that no ballot box will leave the presence of a legitimate judge until its contents are counted, certified and reported.
Thus far, a standoff looks likely, as the head of the presidential election commission has stated publicly on Egyptian television that he refuses all citizen monitoring of the election process.
Since he wrote the story it looks as if the judges won. Of course, something else may come up.

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.

Much of IT terminology is often misused and misapplied. Modernization and transformation are two such terms. They are often used interchangeably even though they mean different things and have very different connotations.

Although Gone Missing is packaged and promoted as a traditional indie pop album, it's actually a cast album from an off-off-Broadway show. Gone Missing is a revue-style series of songs from a show of the same title, constructed by a young theatrical troupe out of a series of filmed and recorded interviews with random New Yorkers on the concept of things that are lost, from memories to people to the black Gucci pump that dominates the album cover art. Lacking the context of a show, the songs on a cast album have to stand on their own merits, and unfortunately, most of the tracks on Gone Missing don't. Too many, especially the group-sung title track and the maudlin ballad "Hide and Seek," sound like third-rate Stephen Sondheim, and the Spanish-language "La Bodega" just sounds like tacky pastiche. On the up side, "I Gave It Away" has a sprightly sunshine pop vibe unexpectedly reminiscent of the Fifth Dimension at their most theatrical, and "Etch A Sketch" is a genuinely pretty, tuneful song about a woman with a mind like a sieve, but by the time those two songs come around, late in the show's last half, it's a classic case of too little too late. ~ Stewart Mason

Q:Is the 1 1/4 inch measurement the outside measurement of the leg of the chair and not the measurement of the actual glider?
2 answers
A:These Square Plastic End Caps are measurements of the product itself. So, the inner dimensions of your chair leg need to be 1-1/4 inches.
A:The measurement given is for the overall dimension of the product.
Q:There look to be several very similar products of the same 1 1/4 inch size, with the main difference being the 16 to 18 gauge of the chairs. Since I'm not sure of the gauge of the 20 chairs I have, I'm wondering how important the gauge factor is. Is a difference between 16 and 18 gauge going to make any real difference?
1 answer
A:The gauge has to do with the thickness of the metal that the chair is made of. The lower the number the greater thickness of metal. 16 gauge is thicker than a 20 gauge metal.

Federal CIO Vivek Kundra is expected to name the Environmental Protection Agency's Lisa Schlosser to be federal deputy CIO, Chris Dorobek, editor of DorobekInsider.com, announced on Twitter today. The item was not on Dorobek's site as of early this afternoon.
Schlosser is principal deputy associate administrator of EPA's Office of External Affairs and Environmental Education. Previously, she was director of EPA's Office of Information Collection. She served as CIO at the Housing and Urban Development Department from 2005 to 2008.
She was also an executive at the Transportation Department, where she held the positions of associate CIO for IT security and associate CIO for IT investment management.
She began her career as a military intelligence officer in the Army. Following her military service, she held several positions in the private sector, including vice president of business operations and response services at Global Integrity, senior manager in Ernst and Young's security solutions branch, and director of information security services at Troy Systems.
Schlosser did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

I Touched a Dream/Whatever Turns You On reissues two Dells LPs from 1980 and 1981, respectively, together on one CD. I Touched a Dream was the last great Dells album, and one of 1980's big surprises. The Dells were on another new label, working with Carl Davis and Eugene Record (also of the Chi-Lites). The pair simply restored the Dells' strengths; each production made sure Marvin Jr.'s roaring leads and Johnny Carter's wavery falsetto were at the forefront. They also got a superb ballad in the title track, a good message song in "It's All About the Paper," and other fine cuts. Whatever Turns You On featured less consistent material, but was still a workmanlike effort. ~ Steve Huey

Only 20% of the retailers in a survey by Silverpop promoted other products within transactional e-mails, Silverpop reports in its new study "How Top Retailers Use Transactional Email."
Online retailers have a long way to go to use transactional e-mails-messages that confirm an order, provide shipping details or perform other such functions-as marketing vehicles, according to a study of transactional e-mails from 84 top online retailers conducted by e-mail marketing company Silverpop.
For instance, only 20% of retailers promoted other products within transactional e-mails, Silverpop reports in its new study "How Top Retailers Use Transactional Email."
"Far too many companies allow their companies' IT departments to send static, text-only messages," says Elaine O'Gorman, Silverpop vice president of strategy. "When control over transactional messaging resides outside of the marketing function, the e-mails often lack cross-sell and upsell promotional content that can boost revenue."
She cautioned that there are certain legal complexities to take into account when adding promotional content to transactional messages, so it's best to consult with legal counsel before incorporating such messages.
Deliverability issues also caused problems for some retailers: 6% of the transactional e-mails in the test landed in recipients' junk folders. "Perhaps more retailers would take the time to ask recipients to white list their addresses if they realized how many of their messages–including critical transactional e-mails–were landing in recipients' junk folders," O'Gorman says.
Further, more companies asked customers to sign up for their e-mail programs than offered additional merchandise. 68% of companies that offer e-mails as part of their marketing programs included a link in the transactional e-mail to opt-in to their programs.
Finally, only 60% of transactional e-mails were in HTML format. "Utilizing HTML formatting that includes essential branding elements is a strong way to enhance customer loyalty and even increase revenue," O'Gorman says. "Not only do HTML e-mails look better, they are measurable."
The power of transactional e-mails should not be underestimated, O'Gorman says. "Ultimately, transactional e-mails can be a robust tool for marketers," she says. "By taking advantage of the high open rates of transactional e-mails and establishing brand loyalty at the time customers are most likely thinking about the company, top online retailers strengthen relationships with customers and drive revenue growth."

He's known as Thailand's jet-setting fugitive monk and his story has riveted the country with daily headlines of lavish excess, promiscuity and alleged crimes ranging from statutory rape to manslaughter.
Until a month ago, 33-year old Wirapol Sukphol was relatively unknown in Thailand. Now he is at the centre of the biggest religious scandal the predominantly Buddhist country has seen in years.
Despite the vows he took to lead a life of celibacy and simplicity, Wirapol had a taste for luxury, police say.
His excesses first came to light in June with a YouTube video that went viral. It showed the orange-robed monk in aviator sunglasses taking a private jet ride with a Louis Vuitton carry-on.
The video sparked criticism of his un-monkly behaviour and a stream of humorous headlines like: Now boarding, Air Nirvana.
Since then, a long list of darker secrets has emerged - including his accumulated assets of an estimated 1 billion baht (NZ$40 million).
This week, authorities issued an arrest warrant for the disgraced monk after having him defrocked in absentia.
Wirapol was in France when the scandal surfaced after leading a meditation retreat at a monastery near Provence. He is believed to have then fled to the United States, but his current whereabouts were unknown.
The arrest warrant implicates him on three charges including statutory rape, embezzlement and online fraud to seek donations.
He is also under investigation for money laundering, drug trafficking and manslaughter for a hit-and-run accident. Authorities are struggling to figure out how he amassed so much money.
''Over the years there have been several cases of men who abused the robe, but never has a monk been implicated in so many crimes,'' said Pong-in Intarakhao, the case's chief investigator for the Department of Special Investigation, Thailand's equivalent of the FBI.
''We have never seen a case this widespread, where a monk has caused so much damage to so many people and to Thai society.''
Cases of monk misconduct in recent years have centred on alcohol use or cavorting with women or men, all forbidden activities.
Last year, about 300 of Thailand's 61,416 full-time monks were reprimanded and in several cases disrobed for violating their vows, according to the Office of National Buddhism.
In Wirapol's case, investigators believe they have only scratched the surface.
Born in the poor northeastern province of Ubon Ratchathani, he entered the monkhood as a teenager and gained local renown for claims of supernatural powers like the ability to fly, walk on water and talk to deities. He renamed himself, Luang Pu Nen Kham, taking on a self-bestowed title normally reserved for elder monks.
Gradually, he cultivated wealthy followers to help fund expensive projects in the name of Buddhism - building temples, hospitals and what was touted as the world's largest Emerald Buddha.
The 11-metre high Buddha was built at his temple in the northeast, touted as solid jade, but made of tinted concrete.
Thailand's Anti-Money Laundering Office has discovered 41 bank accounts linked to the ex-monk.
Several of the accounts kept about 200 million baht (NZ$8m) in constant circulation, raising suspicion of money laundering.
Investigators also suspect that Wirapol killed a man in a hit-and-run accident while driving a Volvo late at night three years ago.
Critics say Wirapol is an extreme example of a wider crisis in Buddhism, which has become marginalised by a shortage of monks and an increasingly secular society. The meditative lifestyle of the monkhood offers little allure to young Buddhists raised on shopping malls, smartphones and the internet.
But the case of Wirapol has also shown the benefits of social media, says Songkran Artchariyasarp, a lawyer and Buddhist activist.
''Buddhists all around the world can learn from this case,'' said Songkran, who heads a Facebook group that collects tips about wayward monks. Photos uploaded to his page helped launch the investigation into Wirapol.
''Let this be a case study that shows if a monk does something wrong, it's harder to get away with it - especially in the era of social media.''
But it remains stunning how much Wirapol did get away with. During a shopping spree from 2009 to 2011, Wirapol bought 22 Mercedes worth 95 million baht (NZ$3.8m), according to the DSI.
The fleet of luxury cars were among 70 vehicles he has purchased. Some he gave as gifts to senior monks, others he sold off as part of a suspected black market car business to launder his money, Pong-in said. Luxury travel for the monk included helicopters and private jets for trips between the northeast and Bangkok.
''I always wondered what kind of monk has this much money,'' said one of his regular pilots, Piya Tregalnon.
Each domestic roundtrip cost about 300,000 baht (NZ$12,000) and the monk always paid in cash, he said in comments posted on Facebook.
''The most bizarre thing is what was in his bag,'' Piya said, referring to the typical monk's humble cloth shoulder sack.
''It was filled with stacks of 100 dollar bills.''
Like many people, Piya only went public with his suspicions after the scandal erupted. Dozens of pictures have been posted in online forums showing Wirapol's high-flying lifestyle- riding a camel at the pyramids in Egypt, sitting in a cockpit at the Cessna Aircraft factory in Kansas. According to the pilot and investigators, Wirapol was interested in buying his own private jet.
Even more incriminating were accusations of multiple sexual relationships with women - a cardinal sin for monks who are not allowed to touch women.
Among them was a 14-year-old girl with whom he allegedly had a son, a decade ago. The mother filed a statutory rape case against him last week.
Police have yet to determine how many people he swindled, but the trail of disappointed followers is long.
One of them is a Bangkok housecleaner originally from Ubon Ratchathani who remembers first hearing him preach a year ago.
''His voice was beautiful, it was mesmerizing. He captivated all of us with his words,'' recalled Onsa Yubram, 42.
When he ended his sermon and held out his saffron bag, hundreds of people rushed forward with donations.
''His bag was so full of cash, they had to transfer the money into a big fertilizer sack. He told us, 'Don't worry, no need to rush. I'll stay here until the last of you gets to donate.'''
Onsa now feels betrayed but says her belief in Buddhism is too strong to let this scandal shatter her faith.
''As a Buddhist I can understand why this happened. Monks, in a way, are ordinary men who have greed and desire,'' she said. ''Some are bad apples, but that doesn't mean every monk is bad.''

Ion trap quantum computers could scale to thousands of qubits
Brian Wang: The universal quantum computer or universal quantum Turing machine (UQTM) is a theoretical machine that combines both Church-Turing and quantum principles. A UQTM quantum computer would be able to do everything that our current computers can do and in addition the funky quantum capabilities.

EnSolve Biosystems announced today that it has developed a new product called EnScrub which treats particulates and petroleum hydrocarbons from the effluent of shipboard sulfur oxides (SOx) scrubber systems. This patent-pending technology, partially funded by a Phase II National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, combines biological and physical processes to remove and destroy petroleum hydrocarbons from the aqueous effluent of SOx scrubbers.
"Whereas SOx scrubber systems focus on the removal of sulfur oxides from engine emissions, harmful particulates and petroleum hydrocarbons end up in the aqueous effluent of these scrubber systems," explained Jason Caplan, president of EnSolve. "If this petroleum-tainted effluent is sent overboard, it can present an environmental and regulatory problem for the shipowner. The EnScrub system addresses these contaminants thereby reducing or eliminating the regulatory risk of discharging untreated SOx scrubber water overboard."
In late 2012, EnSolve conducted efficacy testing of a prototype EnScrub System on effluent obtained from an SOx scrubber system at the Port of Long Beach, Calif. The analytical results indicated that the EnScrub system was successful in reducing more than 99 percent of the petroleum hydrocarbons from the SOx scrubber water effluent. Subsequent testing in 2013 confirmed the results of the 2012 Port of Long Beach field trial.
"It's important to note," added Caplan, "that the EnScrub product is a complementary, not competitive technology for SOx scrubber systems. Our goal is to provide this add-on technology to SOx scrubber systems to help keep both the scrubber manufacturers and shipowners in compliance with domestic and international clean water regulations."
EnScrub models are available for closed-loop, open-loop or hybrid applications.

Revitalised bank seeks simplicity
Relevant offers
At ASB, there is a lot of talk about getting their mojo back.
As the bank completes its shift to high-profile new custom-built premises in Auckland's Wynyard Quarter, chief executive Barbara Chapman freely admits she is, in banking terms at least, standing on the shoulders of giants.
Chapman's ultimate boss, CBA's Kiwi chief executive Ian Narev, is the latest of a line of larger-than-life leaders Chapman has worked for. She makes no bones about the fact she has big shoes to fill, preceded as she was by the likes of Ralph Norris and Hugh Burrett in leading ASB.
"People understand the legacy of Hugh and Ralph," she said. "I want to be measured against the legacy I leave, but there's got to be a level of comparison. I've learnt a lot from both."
From Norris, Chapman learned the power of a simple single vision for an organisation. Norris took CBA on a quest to become number one in customer satisfaction - and arguably transformed the bank in the process.
Chapman admired Burrett's passion and ability to engage staff. From him she learned the importance of being able to connect with people across all levels of the organisation.
Given that legacy, Chapman said her role as chief executive is to help ASB rediscover the culture that made the bank so successful, to help the bank believe in itself after a period in which, she said, it had become more bureaucratic than it needed to be.
And there are plenty of opportunities and challenges.
The bank she leads, once called Auckland Savings Bank, still has space to grow in both market share and geographically within New Zealand. ASB is still stronger in Auckland, Northland and the West Coast than in some "non-traditional areas", Chapman said.
However, she said, ASB is now growing and gaining market share across all areas of its business.
While there has been some noticeable back slapping among the antipodean banking community over how well regional banks have performed through the global financial crisis, Chapman attributes that success to bank customers.
"Our performance is a reflection of our customers' performance," she said. "New Zealand has come through relatively well."
Chapman said businesses are feeling more confident. Because they have done relatively well, there is momentum building and that is reflected in improved bank balance sheets.
Indeed, a survey of bank financial statements reveals that almost across the board, New Zealand and Australian banks have been able to reduce their provisions for doubtful debts pretty much back to pre-crisis levels.
Chapman is singing from Norris's song sheet in saying that what really defines a bank is service. Customers want banking to be so simple, so easy and so transparent that banks are not a big feature in their lives.
There is a new challenge emerging, a transformation in the way customers want to do business with their banks. Technology, particularly mobile technology, is playing a huge part in that sea-change.
Already as many customers are logging on to ASB's website using mobile phones as desktops, and the mobile functionality was only launched just over a year ago, Chapman said.
In contrast, only about 2 per cent of transactions now go through a branch.
Such disruptions are forcing big rethinks about how banks service customers and to make such service simpler and easier.
"There is a phenomenally rapid uptake of new technology."
And it isn't just mobile. Customers want to interact in multiple ways thorough multiple electronic and digital channels.
Those changes create legal and regulatory hurdles, Chapman said. A customer may want to "originate" a banking product through their mobile phone, but how does a bank do that? How do they identify the customer and meet compliance requirements?
For ASB's part, security on mobile applications is as good as on the desktop, she said.
Technology is also changing the competitive landscape in which all banks operate. From competing almost totally against other banks and financial service providers, banks are now rubbing up against the likes of technology giants Amazon, Paypal, Google and Facebook.
All of these in one way or another are looking to lubricate the financial wheels of their users. Chapman said such companies have significant capability and data.
"The sector is no longer the domain of financial services providers," she said.
That means bankers have to look at the world differently to find opportunities.
Such changes are being openly acknowledged in the design philosophy of ASB's new Wynyard Quarter headquarters.
Chapman said the building and fit-out has been designed to be mindful of the way people work within different teams and with different projects going on all the time and with different interactions at different times of the day.
That means the new building offers different kinds of workspaces - rooms, benches and workstations and relaxed environments to encourage more creative thinking.
And then there's the barbecue deck . . .
Chapman has only really worked for two employers, but has had a broad career within those two large organisations.
ASB's chief executive since April 2011, she spent 13 years at ANZ before shifting to ASB. She has held various positions in parent bank CBA in Australia and led the group's Sovereign Assurance business in New Zealand for two years.
While chief executives used to be almost exclusively sourced from among the ranks of current and past chief financial officers, Chapman's rise to the top at ASB marks a change in corporate sentiment where broader skills are now getting serious consideration.
Chapman has variously been a leader in human resources, marketing and retail banking.
While ASB is part of that much larger Australian CBA group, Chapman said the bank is master of its own destiny locally. CBA boss Narev holds managers of the group's different businesses responsible for what they deliver, she said. He shares his opinion, but always steps back from telling them what to do.
In banking, new challenges are always presenting themselves, and right now regulation is top-of mind. Chapman said the pace of such regulatory change is an issue.
"We are large organisations and there is a level of regulation needed. I'm happy with that but think the pace of it needs a look at," she said.
Some changes, such as the Reserve Bank's Open Bank Resolution policy have been worked on for years and are well thought through, Chapman said. Others, such as a new push to use macro prudential tools to control a possible housing bubble, have emerged quite suddenly.
"Do we feel like we've been heard enough in relation to unintended consequences?" she asked. "We've probably been listened to, but that policy is coming anyway."
Chapman said she thinks ultimately macro prudential tools will have an impact on the price of lending for customers.
She also points to a seeming inconsistency in the Government's position.
The Government, she said, is nervous about housing bubbles and costs, but the Government's own bank, the cheapest in the market, is helping driving that.

The finger puppet is great way to hold a baby's interest from page to page. She watches it wiggle and recognizes it as it re-appears after every page turn. The puppet is facing forward and has big eyes, which is an advantage over some of the other Gillingham puppet books.
The text is perfect for a baby's attention span, both in the length of each page and in the number of pages. It's short and spare, which means you'll have to read the book more interactively as the child gets older. But that's really for the better.
Each picture has a distinct and bold color scheme rather than just a hodge-podge of colors. This works well against the recurring puppet and makes each page a new experience for a baby that is learning to perceive colors. I haven't found another infant book that introduces color so effectively. There are bugs and snails and other discrete images on each page -- content to point at and talk about as the child becomes more perceptive.
It's probably odd to write a review that's many times longer than the book itself, but I think there is huge value in getting a baby interested in reading. This little book is a wonderful way to start.
