""How many leaders actively seek out and encourage views alien and at odds with their own? All too few...Who in your organization serves as your Challenger In Chief? Interrogating the choices you are considering making? Making you consider the uncontemplated, the unimaginable and that which contradicts or refutes your position? And also challenging you?""
Haute Cuisine: Truffles that are actually good for you
Alex Forsythe, a freelance chef who has worked on business jets and yachts for more than 15 years, believes that healthy cuisine can tickle the taste buds just as effectively as dishes that cause the arteries to shut down. Recently, he launched a company called Streamlined Cuisine, which spawned a lecture series called Streamlined Cooking, and he's working on a cookbook tentatively titled Streamlined Cooking: Good Meals in 30 Minutes.
As proof of his culinary philosophy, Forsythe offers a recipe for Streamlined Modern Truffles. Imagine: truffles that dance across your tongue on little chocolate feet but with ingredients that are actually good for you.
Those ingredients include pitted dates; Nutiva coconut oil, chiva seeds and hemp seeds; Mana toasted coconut flakes; almond butter; organic coconut sugar; Dogoba cocoa; hot water; and cinnamon. Everything but the hemp seeds goes into a blender or food processor set on pulse; then the resulting blend is chilled on wax paper for at least 20 minutes until firmed. Finally, it's rolled into quarter-inch spheres and served with fresh fruit.
It's energy dense and low glycemic, says Forsythe, and the fact that it tastes like a little piece of truffle heaven doesn't hurt.
Alex Forsythe's Streamlined Modern Truffles
(yields about six cups, served as spheres)
5 pitted dates
3 tsp Nutiva coconut oil at room temperature
1/2 cup Mana toasted coconut flakes
3 tbsp almond butter
6 tsp Nutiva chia seeds
4 oz hemp seeds
1/4 cup organic coconut sugar
1/2 cup Nutiva hemp seeds
1/4 cup Dagoba cocoa
2 tsp hot water
2 tsp cinnamon
1. Combine all ingredients except hemp seeds and pulse in blender or food processor.
2 Chill on wax paper for at least 20 minutes until firm.
3. Roll into quarter-inch spheres and then roll in hemp seeds to lightly coat.
4. Serve with decorative fresh fruit.

From post #20fis.read() // reads a byte from file
tomb1992 (March 5th, 2013)
cheers, you may think i'm lazy lol but ive been working so hard on this, my coding together comes to about 600/700 lines and its frustrating that this is probably the most important part and its about 3 lines long and i cant do it, thanks for your help anyways
The code in post #20 reads bytes from the file into an int variable and tests if that variable has a -1 value. The statements need to be changed around to be used in a for loop instead of a while loop.learn better when i see actual java material
hi please tell me hoe to get the file header that you got
Hi NSK, welcome to the forums!
I don't know if tomb1992 is around at the moment, and this thread is rather old. It might be a better idea if you start your own thread to ask. Most people will expect you to post any code you have at the moment (whether or not it's doing what you want) and to say what the problem is.

moreSince 1990, Mel Silberman's classic book, Active Training, has been a runaway best-seller for trainers at all levels and a popular text for university level courses in adult education and training. The active training method—which turns the spotlight away from the instructor and put the emphasis on the learner—has emerged over time as a proven and reliable method for enhancing involvement, learning, and change.
The third edition of Active Training, provides a thorough introduction to the core principles of active training design and delivery and includes a wealth of examples, tips, and techniques. The book has been revised to reflect the latest trends in workforce training and key sections, such as assessment and evaluation, have been thoroughly updated. In addition, a completely new chapter has been included to cover the design of active training for e-learning and online applications.less

Thread: First woman POTUS, from Nebraska
First woman POTUS, from Nebraska
The year is 2024 and the United States has just elected the first woman, a University of Nebraska graduate, as President of the United States, Susan Cornhusker.
A few days after the election, the president-elect calls her father and says, 'So, Dad, I assume you and mom will be coming to my inauguration?'
'I don't think so. It's a 30 hour drive, your mother isn't as young as she used to be, and my arthritis is acting up again.'
'Don't worry about it Dad, I'll send Air Force One to pick you up and take you home. And a limousine will pick you up at your door.'
'I don't know. Everybody will be so fancy. What would your mother wear?'
Oh Dad, replies Susan, 'I'll make sure she has a wonderful gown custom-made by the best designer in New York .'
'Honey,' Dad complains, 'you know I can't eat those rich foods you and your friends like to eat.'
The President-to-be responds, 'Don't worry Dad. The entire affair is going to be handled by the best caterer in New York, I'll ensure your meals are salt free Dad, I really want you to come.'
So Dad reluctantly agrees and on January 20, 2025, Susan Cornhusker is being sworn In as President of the United States . In the front row sits the new president's Dad and Mom. Dad noticing the senator sitting next to him. Leans over and whispers, 'You see that woman over there with her hand on the Bible, becoming President of the United States ?'
The Senator whispers back, 'Yes I do.'
Dad says proudly, 'Her brother played football at Nebraska!'
I guess it's more amusing if you're a Nebraska Cornhusker fan."You're never fully dressed without a smile."
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
Three things I know for sure: (1) No bad deed goes unrewarded, (2) No good deed goes unpunished, and (3) It is entirely possible to push the most devoted, loyal and caring person beyond the point where they no longer give a 5h!t.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
With the rallying cry, "Let's fight the filth with forks and flowers," this lighthearted guide is a seriously silly romp through the adventurous pastime of gardening other people's plots. Reynolds, after five months living in a 10-story tower block in London, missed gardening and began surreptitiously cultivating the planters in front of his building, gardening in the dead of night to avoid interference. He started a blog to share his delight in illicit gardening, and discovered he was part of an international movement. Reynolds draws inspiration from pioneers of the movement: New York community gardens built on vacant lots, dispossessed Honduran Chiquita workers who appropriated abandoned banana plantation land, and Gerrard Winstanley, founder of the short-lived but influential Diggers who, in the tumultuous year of 1649, planted beans and barley on public land in Surry, England, "that every one that is born in the land, may be fed by the Earth his Mother that brought him forth, according to the Reason that rules in the Creation." He borrows techniques from more infamous guerrillas such as Che Guevera and Mao Tse Tung ("the guerrilla 'must move with the fluidity of water and the ease of the blowing wind'"). Both a manifesto and a manual (tips include how to build seed bombs and deal with pests unique to the guerrilla form of gardening: authorities and landowners), the book delights with tales of exploits from the anarchic, artistic community of guerrilla gardeners.

"Whatever guerilla gardeners bring to life will be eaten and shared by someone or some animal. And that will further light the green fuse, as will getting a copy of this book. Better yet, read it and become one of the growing guerilla army."--Alan Bisport, "Hartford"" Advocate""In tracing the history of the guerrilla gardening movement, be it for beautification or to grow food, Reynolds' voice is ardent as he writes about Johnny Appleseed and the Digger colonies that provided sustenance in fifteenthcentury England. Reynolds is most assured when advising readers on choosing specimens for planting their own guerrilla gardens and when expressing love for gardening.""-- Booklist"See all Product Description

Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
I expected the book to continue in this vein, full of wonderful stories that expressed that delight: perhaps a little like In Search of Old Roses by Thomas Christopher.
The early insistence that the gardening be illegitimate to fit into the definition I found to be quite acceptable; it is the author's right to define his terms. However, this neat definition gradually ceded to a very immature love of the clandestine and illegal, and any sense I had that the book was about a love of gardens and plants yielded to the notion that this person was besotted by illegality, and that plants were just the vehicle of his expression. He seemed to grow increasingly childish in his glee as the pages progressed. Somewhere over half way I grew very bored. The book had turned into a simplistic manual on how to garden, with outré delight in the illicit. I normally keep books I have read. I am selling this one.
Guerrilla gardening can be a strong political statement about the waste of good land and the potential for abundance even when we're faced with a "food crisis," or it can just be something you do for fun.
My only concern is the "waging battle" metaphor that sprouts throughout the book; I wish even as we guerrilla garden, that we could make our speech more nurturing. It's only a little quibble though.
If you've ever been saddened by an abandoned tree well near your bus stop or your office, this book will give you the gumption to go out there and turn it into a lovely little garden!

How about you guys take my name off that bit of fan fiction that I didn't write? That'd be kinda nice, seeing as the 2 bits I did write (which were damn funny) got taken down in the family friendly frenzy, and the not really very funny bit that I edited for Tombombadillo (no offence Tommy) is sat there under my name, and is rather demoralising to see at this point.
Btw, hi peeps, hows it going over here? Sorry to reappear in a blaze of grumpy old gitness, but there you go.

ST. LOUIS - Meet Bud Lintelman, folks.
As late as last week, the 53-year-old PGA Professional from Purcellville, Va., was the 15th alternate for this week's 74th Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid at Bellerive Country Club.
By Sunday, he was the fifth alternate. When he became the fourth alternate on Tuesday morning, Lintelman decided he'd better make the trip to St. Louis just in case a few more guys dropped out and he'd somehow sneak into his first ever Champions Tour event - a major no less.
And it's a good thing he did because now Lintelman has an amazing story to tell for the rest of his life.
If he had decided not to travel to St. Louis, there's a chance he'd be in Oklahoma helping out with the tornado clean-up.
About three months ago, Lintelman left a job as a club professional to work for Interstate Restoration, a privately owned, for-profit, national disaster recovery service company.
"We assist in hurricane situations, fires, water losses, tornadoes and stuff like that," he said. "What happened in Oklahoma was devastating. My prayers go out to them for sure. We did have people on the ground there, but I'm not sure if we're doing any work there. But our heart goes out to those people."
Just to get the particulars out of the way, Lintelman did get a spot in the field and he missed the cut big time with rounds of 80-83 for a 21-over-par 163 total. Sure, the competitor in Lintelman will tell you he sure wishes he'd played better.
"I played like an 18-handicapper," Lintelman said. "It was a little embarrassing, but I'm going to keep my head high because I know I'm a little better than what I was showing out there this week."
He'll be smiling from ear-to-ear for a while too, though, because the fact that he got in the field doesn't even begin to tell his story.
Imagine for a second, if you can, the range of emotions Lintelman experienced this week. He was the 15th alternate at this time a week ago. A few days later, that number trickles down. He makes the trip to St. Louis with the hopes that he'll get his first start on the Champions Tour - in the most historic and prestigious of majors for those 50 and over.
Got all that? Now, imagine arriving at the golf course shortly after 6:00 a.m. on the morning of the first round, like Lintelman did, hanging around on the practice green in between the first and 10th tees with his girlfriend Lynne LaFond DeLuca, who flew in from Los Angeles to offer her support, ready to tee off at a moment's notice if his name was called.
"I was teasing Lynne as I watched Loren Roberts chip," Lintelman said. "I said, 'Lynne, I don't know if Loren knows this, but he just gave me a chipping lesson.' I was kidding around here all morning while I was watching the tour veterans get ready to play. As I was kidding, I said to Lynne, 'I wonder if Tom Watson knows I'm going to be in his group this afternoon.'"
Good one, jokester.
The entire first wave teed off. Nothing.
So Lintelman did what any sensible person would do. He went back to the parking lot with DeLuca to take a break from waiting around. After a few minutes, DeLuca suggested he should go hit some balls on the driving range.
"I said, 'I don't know if I need to hit any golf balls, I'm not even going to play,'" Lintelman said. "But, she convinced me to do it. I went down to the range and started hitting a few balls."
While he did that, DeLuca snuck over to the tournament office to see if maybe, just maybe, his number had come up.
It did. Steve Elkington, citing a migraine, had just withdrawn. But, there was more and DeLuca couldn't wait to get to the range to deliver the news.
"Well, you're in, but that's not it," DeLuca told Lintelman, "You're playing with Tom Watson."
No way.
Lintelman played the first two rounds of his very first Champions Tour event and very first major championship with Tom Watson, an eight-time major winner, and Peter Jacobsen.
"It was really just a great dream come true," Lintelman said shortly after signing for his second round, 83. "I hope I handled myself professionally out there."
It sure wasn't easy, DeLuca said.
"Bud probably wouldn't admit this, but he thought he might pass out the first six holes," she said. "We found out he was in at around 11:00 a.m. on Thursday. They didn't tee off until 1:05, so he had plenty of time to think about it."
"This whole thing has been a little overwhelming, to be honest," Lintelman said. "The course is hard enough. If you play this course on a Tuesday and there's no tournament, it's a hard golf course. To go out there and perform well when there's nothing on the line is hard. But then you throw in the fact that this is a major championship, the galleries, my first Champions Tour event and two superstars as my playing partners, then, yeah, I hardly remember a shot from my first nine holes.
"I was actually almost a little light-headed. I four-putted my second hole, which blows your mind a little bit. I felt like I could compose myself a little bit and played some good holes out there."
Throughout the two rounds, Lintelman hit some good shots. In fact, he had two birdies in the second round, including a long-range putt on the 17th hole. He bantered up and down the fairways with Watson and Jacobsen and, when all was said and done, he received heartfelt handshakes and pats on the back from both players.
Lintelman also got a kick out of the folks who wondered out loud in the gallery, "What is that guy doing with his head when he tees off?"
DeLuca said she loves Lintelman's "fierce sense of humor." When asked what the deal was with that thing he does with his head when he tees off, Lintelman, funny man that he is, asked: "What are you talking about?"
Immediately after address, and just before he pulls the club back, Lintelman turns his head almost as if he's looking behind him. It's different, but it serves a purpose.
"I look away so I can find it in the fairway is what my slogan is," he said. "The truth is, I had the driver yips years ago - probably 10 years ago - and my teacher David Newsom at the River Creek Club in Leesburg (Va.) got me to look back to take the anxiety out of the swing. It also helped my physically in regard to how I turn my shoulders. It gives me a little better rotation and took that mental block off, if you will, and allowed me to swing through the shot. I started it as a practice drill, but then stayed with it.
"To be honest, when I got out here I tried to take every opportunity I could to do it in front of people to get comfortable because I've never really done it in front of a lot of people. I've done it in state opens and club professional championships and things of that sort, but never anything of this magnitude. It really didn't bother me. I actually drove the ball pretty darn good."
All in all, though short, it was a week of "pinch me" proportions for Lintelman.
So what was that all about, telling DeLuca, "I wonder if Tom Watson knows I'm going to be in his group this afternoon?"
A premonition?
"I guess I said it because I knew he was in the feature pairing for the afternoon wave and he's one of my favorite players of all time," Lintelman said. "My mother - Watson is her favorite golfer ever. Ever since I was a kid, my mother has loved this guy and I've always loved him. What a story."
It sure is. And it's one Lintelman will be able to tell for as long as he lives.

Can claudication be prevented?
Some of the risk factors for claudication are behaviors that can be modified such as:
- quit smoking,
- managing diabetes and high blood pressure, and
- maintaining a healthy diet to keep cholesterol levels normal.
Medications that help thin the blood can be used to help prevent symptoms of claudication, but they do not treat the underlying cause. Medications include:
- aspirin,
- clopidogrel (Plavix),
- ticlopidine (Ticlid), and
- dipyridamole (Permole, Persantine, Aggrenox).
Learn more about: Ticlid
Exercise is recommended for patients with claudication symptoms. Frequent exercise, especially walking, greatly reduces symptoms and increases symptom-free walking distance and is one of the most effective preventive measures.
What is the prognosis and treatment for patients with intermittent claudication?
The prognosis of claudication is generally favorable with treatment. Without treatment, 26% of patients worsen over time. Over 5 years, 4% to 8% will progress to require a revascularization procedure.
The underlying cause of claudication, peripheral vascular disease, does put patients at risk for other atherosclerotic diseases. A finding of claudication or peripheral artery disease should be considered a warning sign of other potential atherosclerotic blockages in the body.

Chinese scientists use biotechnology to develop tiny pig pets
In the story, a UC Agriculture and Natural Resources expert expressed disappointment in the company's plan to market mini pigs as pets. Alison Van Eenennaam, UC ANR Cooperative Extension specialist in the Department of Animal Science at UC Davis, said the company's decision reflects the "global regulatory gridlock" around genetically engineered food animals.
"Genome editing is a powerful technology that can be used for many beneficial applications … such as producing disease-resistant animals and other things that would have real benefits for the sustainability of food production," she said.
Americans seem to be open to genetically engineered pets. A glowing fish created in Singapore by inserting jellyfish and sea anemone genes into zebrafish eggs has been accepted by many U.S. consumers.
"People are happy to have them in their aquarium, but it's when it's on their dinner plat that they have a different attitude," Van Eenennaam said.
Scientists used different processes in creating glowing fish and miniature swine. With the fish, genes from other organisms were inserted into the DNA. The mini pigs were made by cutting tidbits of DNA out of the pig genome. According to the article, Van Eenennaam believes gene editing animals is no different from traditional selective breeding. Furthermore, she said the FDA's unwillingness to approved genetically engineered food animals is impeding the technology. Companies are deterred from investing in research by the uncertainty.
"(There's too much financial risk) if you go to all the effort of making an animal and it's unclear whether you're going to be able to market it," Van Eenennaam said.
No sign of health or nutrition problems from GMO livestock feed, study finds
The review study also found that scientific studies have detected no differences in the nutritional makeup of the meat, milk or other food products derived from animals that ate genetically engineered feed.
The review, led by Alison Van Eenennaam, UC Cooperative Extension specialist in the Department of Animal Science at UC Davis, examined nearly 30 years of livestock-feeding studies that represent more than 100 billion animals.
Titled "Prevalence and Impacts of Genetically Engineered Feedstuffs on Livestock Populations," the review article is now available online in open-access form through the American Society of Animal Science. It will appear in print and open-access in the October issue of the Journal of Animal Science.
Genetically engineered crops were first introduced in 1996. Today, 19 genetically engineered plant species are approved for use in the United States, including the major crops used extensively in animal feed: alfalfa, canola, corn, cotton, soybean and sugar beet.
Food-producing animals such as cows, pigs, goats, chickens and other poultry species now consume 70 to 90 percent of all genetically engineered crops, according to the new UC Davis review. In the United States, alone, 9 billion food-producing animals are produced annually, with 95 percent of them consuming feed that contains genetically engineered ingredients.
"Studies have continually shown that the milk, meat and eggs derived from animals that have consumed GE feed are indistinguishable from the products derived from animals fed a non-GE diet," Van Eenennaam said. "Therefore, proposed labeling of animal products from livestock and poultry that have eaten GE feed would require supply-chain segregation and traceability, as the products themselves would not differ in any way that could be detected."
Now that a second generation of genetically engineered crops that have been optimized for livestock feed is on the horizon, there is a pressing need to internationally harmonize the regulatory framework for these products, she said.
"To avoid international trade disruptions, it is critical that the regulatory approval process for genetically engineered products be established in countries importing these feeds at the same time that regulatory approvals are passed in the countries that are major exporters of animal feed," Van Eenennaam said.
Collaborating on the study was co-author Amy E. Young in the UC Davis Department of Animal Science.
The review study was supported by funds from the W.K. Kellogg endowment and the California Agricultural Experiment Station of UC Davis.

GMO fight in southern Oregon sharpens GMO debate in California
"We could do millions of things with transgenics, but we have our hands tied," a story in The Scientist quoted Jorge Dubcovsky, professor in the Department of Plant Sciences at UC Davis.
Dubcovsky commented in The Scientist article about his work in using biotechnology to instill resistance to a devastating plant disease, stripe rust, in wheat.
"Wheat is a very important cereal," says Ravi Singh of Irrigated Bread Wheat Improvement and Rust Research in Mexico. "Twenty percent of [humans'] calories and about the same [percent of] protein are coming from wheat."
Genetic engineering is a way to breed long-lasting stem rust–resistant wheat varieties and boost wheat yields around the world. But genetically modified foods are being kept off the market by public opposition and regulatory expenses.
The Scientist article, written by Kerry Grens, said a few groups are forging ahead, including Dubcovsky and other researchers who are cloning stripe rust-resistance genes from wheat and other taxa and identify their functions. For more on Dubcovsky's work, see UC researchers improve wheat nutrition and yield.
Genetically engineered food animals meet resistance
The article reviewed the case of Enviropig, which was modified to produce lower levels of phosphorus in its manure, an environmental benefit because phosphorus can leach into groundwater beneath pig farms. The transgene also eliminates the cost of adding phosphorus to the animals' feed. Anti-GMO activists voiced loud opposition.
"They really targeted it and made it a bad thing," said Alison Van Eenennaam, UC Cooperative Extension specialist in the Department of Animal Science at UC Davis.
James Murray, professor in the UCD Animal Science Department, has used genetic modification to develop goats whose milk contains an antibacterial protein found in human breast milk that could help treat childhood diarrhea.
"Who would have thought when we started [manipulating animal genomes] in the early 1980s that at this point we would have no animals approved?" Murry said. "It's been over 30 years. I made my first transgenic sheep in 1985. We were all making [GM] mice before that, with an eye toward agriculture."
Akst used the case of the AquAdvantage salmon as an object lesson about resistance to GMO animals. AquAdvantage salmon contain a gene from an eel-like ocean pout. It grows twice as fast on 25 percent less food compared to wild salmon. Despite safeguards its makers have in place to keep the GM fish away from their wild cousins - farming them in inland tanks, raising only sterile female fish - the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has been holding off on approval for years.
"Fifteen or 20 years in, $70 million down the drain, and no decision," Murray said. "Who wants to invest in the next transgenic animal product?"

Mississippi leaders announced an initiative Tuesday aimed at revitalizing the state's economy. And it all starts with small businesses.
"Our goal is to increase employment in Mississippi, to provide an incentive to employers to hire workers," said Stan McMorris of the Mississippi Department of Employment Security.
During a forum in Jackson, state leaders announced a new program aimed at encouraging small businesses to hire again.
"About 65,000 people each week are filing unemployment," McMorris said. "A number of those are exhausting those benefits and needing employment."
Over $40 million in federal money would pay for varying portions of a worker's salary over six months.
"I think it sounds absolutely fabulous," said Linda Shelton, co-owner/manager, of Interiors Market in Fondren. "Things have been a little slower this summer, but we see people getting back in the groove of shopping. The holiday season coming up does lend itself to the possibility of needing someone."
It's a program that state leaders hope will tame the effects of a recession.
"This is a great incentive to help business, especially small business, begin hiring again," said McMorris.
To qualify for the program, workers must earn within 250 percent of the poverty line and have at least one child who's younger than 18.

Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company (NASDAQ:AMZN), today announced the eight companies who participated in the inaugural "LAUNCHED!" Live Stage at re: Invent, the first AWS global user conference. "LAUNCHED!" is a live stage environment where these selected start-up companies launched their businesses or applications publicly for the first time. Alegion, Animoto, Averail, BitYota, CloudMunch, Mortar, PunchTab, and ThisLife launched unique solutions in the areas of media, big data, developer platforms, media sharing and crowdsourcing, demonstrating the innovation that start-ups of all kinds are finding possible with AWS.
"AWS helps companies get started by offering a technology infrastructure with no capital expense and low pay as you go pricing, and providing a technology platform with broad functionality and global scale. This year, at the first AWS re: Invent conference, we have created a dynamic, live stage environment for start-up companies to launch publicly for the first time," said Ariel Kelman, Head of Worldwide Marketing, AWS. "It was a great experience for us to watch these eight exciting companies show off their new apps on AWS in front of 6,000 members of the AWS community."
The new businesses and applications announced today include:
Publicly launched today, Alegion brings the power of crowd-sourced labor to the Enterprise. Leveraging Amazon Mechanical Turk as a key architectural component, Alegion's self-service workflow designer allows large businesses to integrate crowd labor tasks into their complex business processes. Businesses can achieve exceptional data accuracy, speed, and worker management using Alegion's ground-breaking platform. Alegion uses Amazon Mechanical Turk to provide access to "workers" for tasks, and Amazon Simple Workflow Service to automate the jobs.
The online video creation service that empowers anyone to create and share extraordinary videos, launched a new service called "Best of 2012 Facebook Videos."

With a click of a button and in a matter of seconds, Animoto automatically curates the best photos and comments from a Facebook user and sets them to music. The resulting Best of 2012 video is a rich orchestration that highlights Facebook users' top moments from 2012, as documented on Facebook. Once the video is created, users can share via a multitude of ways or first edit further by adding or removing photos and comments and changing the music. Animoto's Best of 2012 Facebook Videos look to amaze the Facebook community by harnessing Facebook Timeline and showcasing the video creation power of Animoto, all with a simple click of a button.
Mobile employees need more than basic email to be productive. They need secure and easy access to critical business content stored across the organization.

GitHub, Jira, Google Docs, Asana, NewRelic, AWS Elastic Beanstalk -- these are just a few of the dozens of innovative tools today's software development teams rely on to build, deploy, run & manage their cloud applications. However, getting all of these point tools to work seamlessly together is causing developers to devote more of their precious time to operational tasks rather than focusing on creating innovative software. Publicly launched as a company today, CloudMunch is built entirely on AWS and launched the industry's first orchestration engine to manage the entire cloud application lifecycle, allowing developers to plug and play with the tools they already know and love, giving them the ability to continuously deliver higher quality software, faster.

ThisLife is a new application launched today for photos and videos living in the cloud. ThisLife gathers all the photos & videos people have scattered on their phone, hard drive, SD cards and social services. Then, ThisLife intelligently removes duplicates while retaining the highest quality version of each image. ThisLife automatically enhances photos and still preserves the true originals. The technology identifies faces and dramatically facilitates tagging so customers can search their personal photos based on people, places and tags. ThisLife keeps everything private so customers can share what they and with whom they want. And, because ThisLife lives in the cloud, customers can access their entire collection any time from any device. ThisLife uses Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) as a reliable data store for all the photos, and with Amazon Glacier they keep a long term low cost archive of all of the memories.
