#21451 closed Bug (fixed)
LiveServerTestCase returns a 404 on all URLs when MEDIA_URL = '' and DEBUG = True

This is a fairly obscure bug and it was interesting to diagnose ;-)
I ran into it while working on the Django Debug Toolbar. Since the DDT isn't displayed when DEBUG = False, its tests run with DEBUG = True. I admit that this isn't a common use case. (Of course, I could change the function that controls whether the toolbar is shown to display it during tests regardless of DEBUG. But this isn't the point.) Since the toolbar doesn't handle any uploaded files, MEDIA_URL isn't set and defaults to the empty string.
In these circumstances, _MediaFilesHandler.should_handle(path) will always return True because any path starts with the empty string. Then _MediaFilesHandler.get_response(request) will fail to find the media file corresponding to path and catch the resulting Http404. When DEBUG = False, get_response will continue after the try/except block and call the parent get_response, which will return the expected result. But when DEBUG = True, get_response will happily return the 404 debug page! NB: all the code I've described is actually in StaticFilesHandler, which _MediaFilesHandler inherits.
I believe there are actually two bugs here:
- _MediaFilesHandler shouldn't be applied when MEDIA_URL isn't set — and while we're there, StaticFilesHandler shouldn't be applied either when STATIC_URL isn't set.
- get_response shouldn't swallow Http404 exceptions when DEBUG = False — this behavior has hidden the previous problem until now.

comment:1 Changed 3 years ago by aaugustin
I'm attaching a patch against Django 1.6 with three changes:
- a regression test
- a change in StaticFilesHandler.get_response that makes the test fail when DEBUG = False. I tested by commenting out the settings override.
- a change in LiveServerThread.run that makes the test pass regardless of the value of DEBUG.
I didn't spend too much time on this and I'm not sure this is the best solution.

I submitted this patch in https://github.com/django/django/pull/2759 - and just added a couple of small comments.
I did some testing around not applying StaticFilesHandler when STATIC_URL is not set. I don't think this is actually possible however, as LiveServerTestCase in Django 1.6 used the staticfiles app, which in turn required the STATIC_URL setting to be set.
comment:5 Changed 2 years ago by timo
- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from assigned to closed
On the PR, Greg noted that this was fixed in 1.7 as part of the removal the static files dependencies in LiveServerTestCase [e909ceae].

Domestic Violence is force, violence, or threat that is inflicted on either:
· A current or former spouse, partner, or parent of the accused's child
· A child living in the home with the accused
· An elder over the age of 65 living in the home
Domestic Violence is essentially committing battery or assault against someone else, but in these cases, an intimate or closely related victim is involved. Due to this factor, domestic violence comes with steep fines and penalties, and is one of the most commonly prosecuted crimes in the State.
California Penal Codes outline several Domestic Violence Laws including:
Corporal Injury or California Penal Code 273.5 is when a victim sustains physical injuries as a result of violence or force.
Domestic Battery or California Penal Code 243 e1 happens when there was an effort made to inflict injury on the victim. As an example, a bat was swung in the heat of the moment, but the victim dodged and missed. Even though there was no impact or injuries, the accused may still face corporal injury charges.
Child Abuse or California Penal Code 273D occurs when a child sustains injuries as a result of force, violence or threat. The accused may additionally face charges for child endangerment.
California Penal Code 368 or Elder Abuse is when abuse, force, violence or threat is directed toward an elder over sixty five years. This crime also includes financial abuse.
Common Penalties Abusers Face:
The most common sentencing for California Domestic Abuses includes jail time and an order to attend a batterer's program. Other potential penalties include deportation for non U.S. citizens and the possibility of being enrolled in California's Three Strike's Law.
If you have been accused of any of these Domestic Violence Penal Codes in California, the criminal defense lawyers at MacGregor & Collins can help you. Call us today at (949) 250-6097.

From the West Courtyard
From the West Courtyard—thoughts about working and serving in China from our staff and others with experience and insight to share.
The name comes from a Chinese phrase that was taught in an early 1900s Chinese language curriculum, "有一个人,从西院子过来,"meaning "a man came over from the west courtyard." The idea of moving from west to east, of journeying between these two courtyards, reflects our desire to root our observations in the non-western context and allow the local Chinese context to determine what is culturally normative for life and work in China.
Opinions expressed are not necessarily endorsed by ChinaSource.
Urbanization and the Church: East and West
As China has urbanized the challenges facing the church increasingly mirror those in other urban societies.
Is Confucianism a Religion or an Ethical System?
The Debate Goes On
In the 17th and 18th centuries there was a dispute between Jesuit and Dominican missionaries in China about whether or not Chinese converts should be allowed to continue practicing traditional rites and ceremonies that were rooted in Confucianism, such as ancestor worship. The Jesuits said they should be allowed; the Dominicans said no.
The Wrong Approach to Living in China
I love living in China and have immersed myself in Chinese culture. I've seen a lot of people come and go since I arrived here in 1991—many who approach China with negative attitudes and misconceptions.
I'd like to share my thoughts about how to enjoy this culture that God loves. Specifically, I want to note some wrong approaches to China that I hope will instruct us in a better way.
Why Crosses? Why Zhejiang?
The massive campaign against church crosses in China's Zhejiang province is in the news again with the release this month of the US State Department's 2015 Report on International Religious Freedom.
Daoism: Yesterday and Today
I once had a discussion with my Chinese professor about the influences of Confucianism and Daoism (Taoism) in the worldview of Chinese people. "You have to understand," he told me, "that we are Confucian when things are going well, when we have position and authority, and when life is hard for us and we are 'down and out,' we are Daoists."
Mountains May Depart
A Film Review
In the sphere of international film, Jia Zhangke, is a key player that's putting China on the map. As a part of the "Sixth Generation" of film directors in China, this group has left behind the epic tales of mythical history and instead, focuses their efforts on capturing the raw realities of today's China. For Jia, this means that films are more than just ways to tell stories. He carefully uses his craft as a vehicle to commentate on contemporary Chinese society.
How to Pray for China
I recently received the weekly prayer list from our church. Each week we pray for a different nation of the world. This particular week we were to pray for China.
"Arduous" and "Oppressive"–the Life of a Chinese Athlete
It's been a long time since I have watched the Olympic Games on American broadcast TV, and not CCTV5, the Chinese sports channel, and there are several things that I miss. I miss the 24-hour coverage of events and watching them in their entirety, not just highlight reels. I miss watching ping-pong and badminton. And I miss getting to know the Chinese athletes.
When Families are Separated, How Can We Help?
"She doesn't know me anymore," my friend Xiao Min remarked offhandedly one day, as though this fact didn't bother her. As the weeks went on, I would slowly discover that this statement reflected a very deep pain in Xiao Min's heart. The first time she brought it up, though, I was surprised she would treat the matter so coolly. After all, she was talking about her own daughter.
We've Come this Way Before
Throughout history as various attempts have been made to introduce the gospel to China, a series of "perennial questions" have arisen regarding the relationship between the Christian faith and Chinese culture.

An open forum scheduled for next week will provide local residents with information to help them decide how they will vote in a May 3 special election.
That special election will determine the fate of a tax levy that amounts to nearly a third of the property taxes Tupelo residents pay to the city.
The forum is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday at Cit Hall in the City Council chambers on the second floor. Voters will have an opportunity to educate themselves about how Major Thoroughfare Program money will be spent if the program wins renewal at the ballot box next month.
A presentation will detail the proposed Major Thoroughfare Phase VI priorities and local citizens will be able to ask questions.
Out of the city tax rate of 32.47 mills, 10-mills goes toward Major Thoroughfare.
Those 10-mills must be renewed at a special election every five years and will once again go before voters on May 3.
Ahead of that vote, officials are working to make sure Tupelo residents have access to information about how the money would be used over the next five years.
Officials are also making the round of local civic clubs, neighborhood associations and other organizations to spread the word about the upcoming vote.
Estimates say a 10-mill levy would yield about $20 million over the next five years. Officials want to spend 25 percent – or $5 million – on maintenance of current major thoroughfare roads as well as "major collector" roads.
The remaining $15 million or so would go to numerous new projects. Go here to see the full list of new projects as well as streets that would be targeted for maintenance.

I planned to utilize about the children to help file custody paperwork. I was fairly angry when I called and ready to do just about anything to see my kids. They charged me $98 and told me someone would be contacting me regarding my case.
Next I decided to search the internet for customer reviews and found a lot of negative reviews on the company. I immediately emailed the company and asked for a refund.
After a few more emails, I finally received a call and was told that "refunding the membership fee" was not part of the refund policy. I explained to the woman on the phone I was never disclosed a refund policy, nor any other of the company's policy.
Next the lady told me she would cancel my membership and not charge me for the following month. She actually acted like she was doing me a favor and said it with a straight face ...or I guess a straight voice in this instance.
I then explained the company had done absolutely nothing for me, I wasn't disclosed any company policies, and I wanted my $98 back. The lady ultimately refused.
This company charged me $98 for absolutely nothing. I plan to cantact my bank and dispute the charge as well as post complaints on as many boards as possible to warn people about this company and their deceptive business practices.
Please don't be a sucker like I was!

Characteristics of Heavily Edited Objects in OpenStreetMap

AbstractThis paper describes the results of an analysis of the OpenStreetMap (OSM) database for the United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland (correct to April 2011). 15, 640 OSM ways (polygons and polylines), resulting in 316, 949 unique versions of these objects, were extracted and analysed from the OSM database for the UK and Ireland. In our analysis we only considered "heavily edited" objects in OSM: objects which have been edited 15 or more times. Our results show that there is no strong relationship between increasing numbers of contributors to a given object and the number of tags (metadata) assigned to it. 87% of contributions/edits to these objects are performed by 11% of the total 4128 contributors. In 79% of edits additional spatial data (nodes) are added to objects. The results in this paper do not attempt to evaluate the OSM data as good/poor quality but rather informs potential consumers of OSM data that the data itself is changing over time. In developing a better understanding of the characteristics of "heavily edited" objects there may be opportunities to use historical analysis in working towards quality indicators for OSM in the future.

Kinfolk: A Guide for Small Gatherings
And then a review copy of the inaugural issue of Kinfolk arrived in the mail.
The online version has the usual advantages over print: it uses less natural resources, has nifty little video inserts, doesn't gather dust in sitting corners of your apartment and it's free. It's fun enough to flip through the pages with a click and I suppose if I had an iPad, I could lay my tired body down in a backyard hammock and leisurely browse myself into a relaxed, heavy-lidded bliss.
But it's the print version that has really won my heart. It's important to not think 'magazine' here as it is not at all like the usual magazines one picks up in the grocery store. There are no subscription inserts or tacky, inappropriate ads. In fact, Kinfolk is completely ad-free. It's printed on quality stock and a real treat to hold in your hands. The design is simple, with lots of white space and gorgeous photographs that can only really be appreciated in the print version. There's just something about the quality of ink on paper and the tactile feeling of turning pages that draws my attention in a different way than the screen version. I hadn't realized it, but I've been missing this experience with my self-imposed magazine fast. This is one publication that will stay on my shelf and not end up in the recycle bin.
If all this sounds romantic, well, it is. Kinfolk asks us to slow down, appreciate, take care and be together (or to be alone — the smallest of gatherings.) It inspires a considered life, a measured pace, a more honest and heartfelt way of being. It's a delightful experience.
Both versions feature numerous our articles, quotes (heavy on Thoreau), full-color photographs and a handful of recipes from The Kitchn favorite Nikole Herriott and her equally talented friend, Tara O'Brady of Seven Spoons.
The first run of the print version is sold out and it is unclear at this point if there will be a reprint.
• Read more: Check it out at Kinfolk Magazine online and keep a look out for volume two. Update: Kinfolk has announced that if you sign up for their email list on their website, they will let you know if there is going to be a reprint of volume 1.

Don't get hijacked
Utah's Dave Fletcher
Jan. 25
The news that a hacker was offering to sell administrative control to a number of government websites, including Utah.gov, got Utah's CIO — and blogger — Dave Fletcher wondering how that would work.
"Problem is, Utah.gov is not a simple construct with an administrative console that controls it all so what exactly is this hacker selling for $99?" he writes. "The Utah.gov domain consists of about 6 million pages, over 950 services, dynamic feeds, all somewhat linked together with a central portal, which itself is an entire suite of applications built to support the complex array of interactions between citizens and government. It appears that the hacker gained access to a lightly used subdomain that is not even managed by the state's central IT so this was reviewed, patched, etc."
Although the risk of some anonymous buyer getting control of the state's website appears remote, the incident highlights a vulnerability that Web administrators need to be vigilant about, Fletcher writes. It's possible for hackers to gain access to parts of sites through such weak points and use them to post ads for erectile dysfunction drugs or other items commonly sold through spam ads. The goal is to increase the number of links from external pages back to the disreputable merchant's site so that it rises in search engine rankings.
"Even organizations with well-structure[d] standards and deployment policies and procedures fall prey to this," Fletcher writes. "With government being as diverse as it is, someone in each organization needs to remain vigilant and aware of these kinds of activities."
The speed of the crowd
Federal Communications Commission
Jan. 25
The Federal Communications Commission's Consumer Broadband Test tool, which launched in spring 2010, has been gathering data on the Internet connection speeds of more than a million users. Now FCC has released an application programming interface to the developer community to enable others to use the data.
There's already enough information to demonstrate some practical uses, writes Michael Byrne, FCC's geographic information officer, in recounting an FCC presentation at the ESRI Federal User Conference in January.
"The particularly exciting part of this presentation was the ability to display projected speeds at different geographies within standard error, all extrapolated out from the speed test data points that were input by users," he writes. "By using the 1 million-plus records submitted by users, we were able to display a map that shows the probability of a certain level of mobile broadband speed at any given spot in the U.S."
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto
General Services Administration
Jan. 12
General Services Administration CIO Casey Coleman recently got a demonstration of Anybots' robot, which can stand in for a person who controls it remotely via the Web.
"You can be home and view activity in your office or warehouse as well as talk to employees and visitors," she writes. "You can see and be seen! Anybot was very cool!"
The demonstration was part of a larger presentation on emerging technologies. Although Coleman does not identify the event, robotic technology was apparently a major aspect of it. She also writes about robots that can protect soldiers or increase mobility for elderly people and those with disabilities.
"I was surprised to see that Microsoft even has robotics developer software," Coleman writes. "Who knew?"

The GAO report, released December 26, identified common themes among private insurers that might be used by Medicare. These include a focus on physician groups rather than individual physicians, standardized performance measurement, absolute performance and improvement targets, and timely distribution of incentive pay.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Paris, November 7 (No.2001-123)
Ė Africa numbers 34 of the worldís 49 least developed countries (LDCs) and
half the continentís population is subject to extreme poverty, surviving on
less than one US dollar a day. Moreover, Africa is home to 80% of the worldís
population HIV/AIDS cases.
Due to the many challenges facing
the continent, the region has been one of UNESCO priorities since the 1990s. The
Organizationís action in favour of Africa will be reviewed in the light of the
New African Initiative Ė which has been renamed New Partnership for African
Development (NPAD) - adopted by the Lusaka Summit of the Organization of African
Unity (OAU) in July 2001. This is the purpose of an international seminar, Forward-looking
approaches and innovative strategies to promote the development of Africa in the
twenty-first century that will be held at UNESCO Headquarters on November 8
and 9.
The work of the seminar, convened at
the initiative of UNESCO Director-General KoÔchiro Matsuura, will be organized
around seven workshops, which will be held simultaneously on November 8 from 3
p.m. to 7 p.m. Each workshop will deal with a specific theme.
African agenda and UNESCO: building on the foundations of the New Partnership
for African Development. NPAD stresses the fact that the primordial
responsibility for African development must rest with Africa itself. It also
defines development priorities, which, for UNESCO, must focus on access to
education and knowledge, the key to capacity-building and empowerment. The
development of knowledge societies requires education in its broadest sense,
including science and technology, integrating cultural dimensions, facilitating
the exercise of civil rights, and encouraging the free flow of ideas and the
sharing of knowledge. The workshop Ė to be moderated by Aminata Traorť,
former Culture and Tourism Minister of Mali - will be held in Room II.
in Africa: challenges and prospects Ė which strategies for the future?
Attaining the Education for All (EFA) goals of the Dakar World Education Forum
(April 2000) remains an absolute priority in a continent where half the
inhabitants are under the age of 20. The preparation and implementation of EFA
national action plans is a first priority. Other UNESCO areas of priority action
include broadening EFA to include secondary, technical and vocational, as well
as higher education, financing of education and the introduction of new
technologies. Through education, especially preventive education, UNESCO is also
committed to make a significant contribution to halt the spread of HIV/AIDS. The
workshop will be moderated by Assana Sangarť, Minister of CŰte díIvoire
responsible for action against HIV/AIDS and other pandemics. It will be held in
Room IV.
and technology for sustainable development in Africa.
Globalization has increased the complexity of political decision-making and
increased the dependence of decision-makers on scientifically informed advice.
This is particularly the case for problems such as water resources management
and UNESCO - which is increasingly involved in issues pertaining
to fresh water and ecosystems, and
has been asked by the United
Nations to carry out a global assessment of fresh water resources - can bring
its contribution to this area which combines economic, environmental and
political factors. Moderated by Liydia Brito, Mozambiqueís Minister for Higher
Education, Science and Technology, the workshop will be held in Room VIII.
rights, democracy and human security: prospects and lines of action.
Democracy, peace, security, stability and justice are equally strategic factors
for Africaís development. In this regard, UNESCOís activities in the gamut
of essential areas include education Ė civics and values education Ė and the
promotion of independent pluralist media - necessary to democracy and good
governance. This could also be said of the possible reinforcement of UNESCOís
Human Rights Chairs and the follow-up to the Programme of Action adopted at the
World Conference Against Racism (Durban, South Africa, 2001). The workshop will
be moderated by the former President of Mali, Amadou Toumani Tourť. It will be
held in Room XI.
diversity and pluralism, challenges for sustainable development in Africa. There
is clear evidence that culture plays a central role in development and social
cohesion. In its Medium Term Strategy for 2002-2007, UNESCO has set itself the
objective of increasing its advice and assistance to Member States for
formulating national policies and public action to protect cultural diversity,
cultural pluralism and intercultural dialogue. The Organization is also involved
in activities promoting the development of artistic and cultural industries, of
traditional crafts and cultural tourism. The workshop will take place in Room VI
and be moderated by Renato Matusse,
co-ordinator for Culture and Information of the Southern African Development
Community, SADC.
technologies and the knowledge society: capacity-building in Africa. UNESCO
has long been committed to the development of regional human resources and
infrastructures in the field of communication and information. It is active in a
wide range of undertakings including the establishment of multimedia community
centres, assistance provided by UNESCOís International Programme for the
Development of Communication (IPDC) and the Regional Informatics Network for
Africa (RINAF), conceived to increase the capacity of the public sector and of
civil society at large to use the new technologies at the service of
development. Astrophysicist and UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador Cheick Modibo Diarra will moderate the workshop (Room IX).
of pan-African co-operation and international partnership. There is a danger
that globalization will increase the isolation, and thereby the poverty, of
African countries. The workshop will focus on solidarity, knowledge sharing and
technology transfers with a view to establishing a new kind of partnership with
Africa. This should include the reinforcement of UNESCOís relations with the
continentís sub-regional organizations. Moderated by Bimbola Ogunkelu,
Nigerian Minister of Co-operation and Integration, the workshop will be held in
Room VII.
Organized by UNESCOís Africa
Department, the Seminar will open with a panel discussion (November 8, 10.15
a.m. Room II), whose participants will include the UNESCO Director-General KoÔchiro
Matsuura; OAU Secretary-General, Essy Amara; Under Secretary-General of the
United Nations, Special Adviser for African Affairs, Ibrahima A. Gambari; and
Zimbabweís Permanent Delegate to UNESCO, Mazorodze Bimha, who chairs the
Organizationís African Group.
At 11.15 a.m., in
Room II, a roundtable discussion will be held on the roles of education,
science, culture, communication and information in the development of Africa.
The roundtable, moderated by Hans díOrville, Director of UNESCOís Bureau of
Strategic Planning, will bring together the Assistant Directors-General in
charge of the Organizationís various sectors of activity.
The workshopsí reports and
recommendations will be presented on Friday, November 9. A general report, to be
compiled by the historian Iba Der Thiam, Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly
of Senegal, will be submitted to adoption on in the afternoon.

 I was recently talking with brilliant folks over in the AppsLab and learned about the scavenger hunt they ran in coordination with the Oracle Development Tools User Group (ODTUG) at Kscope15, held recently in Florida.

 	 The scavenger hunt, being IoT focused and incorporating mobile and wearable technologies, peaked my interest as it drew parallels from where this is happening right on the ground (literally at Kscope15) to where it is, and will be happening soon, with Oracle Cloud product and services.

The work flow of the hunt was straight forward:

Register on site at the event or online (perhaps from your personal IoT enabled device/mobile phone)

Get your smart badge, complete with a NFC (Near Field Communication) sticker attached

Install the Kscope15 Scavenger Hunt app, including smartwatch apps, from the appropriate app store

Find a task in the list in the mobile app you just installed

Complete a task, many by having your NFC sticker (once provisioned) scanned by NFC readers hosted on Raspberry Pis using Java 8.

Tweet with the appropriate hashtags from the account you used to register for bonus points

 But behind the work flow of the hunt was a great deal of work leveraging a wide set of technologies: APEX, Java, React, Node.js, REST, PL/SQL, Android, Raspberry Pi, NFC, REST and Twilio servers and more (for full details on how the scavenger hunt was implemented, read Noel Portugal's write up here).

Several elements of the scavenger hunt stuck with me, that I've bubbled up as follow:

The Approachable Nature of the Internet of Things

IoT Enabled Device Cost and Availability - Most readers of this blog are well aware of the ever widening array of IoT enabled devices available, so these next statements surely won't come as earthshaking news, they will provide a very current example. Anyway, to bring the point across: While I didn't ask the price, knowing typical shoestring show budgets and given the fact that every attendee had one placed on their badge, the cost of the NFC (Near Field Communication) stickers used in the scavenger hunt appeals to even my frugal nature. They can quickly be found and ordered online from any number of shopping sites and be delivered right to your door within two days or so. And that's just one of a growing myriad of affordable types of end devices and sensors that are readily available. Temperature, humidity, light, sound, and so on. Plus the ridiculously affordable Raspberry Pi can be used as a gateway device and/or to host various sensors and more (check out Mark Heckler's blog series involving these topics as he moves the management of his own renewable energy embedded systems into the Cloud).

Low Barriers to Entry into the IoT and Cloud

Virtually every step in the creation of the scavenger hunt that was done on premises, barring the physical requirements such as attaching the NFC smart sensor to the Raspberry Pi, is or soon will be something that can be accomplished in the Oracle Cloud. And, from above, Mark Heckler is creating another prime example of what just one man can do with Oracle Cloud and IoT technologies and IoT enabled devices that could eventually be leveraged into real world solutions providing value even at low scale.

The Oracle Internet of Things Cloud Service is coming soon.  Node.js Cloud Service is coming soon. Developer Cloud Service, Java Cloud Service, Oracle Database Cloud Service (complete with Oracle Application Express (APEX) as used in the scavenger hunt) and Integration Cloud Service are among the many that are generally available and thriving.

In a very short period of time the convergence of Oracle Cloud Products and Services along with the Internet of Things as a whole will be, to harken back to a previous tag line, 'complete'. Full ALM in the Cloud; deployment in the Cloud; integration to Cloud services and On Premises solutions; gateways and end devices easily and securely connected. Simple. Integrated. Intelligent. (That's our new tag line, btw).

The Internet of Things is here. And there. And soon to be anywhere an end device or sensor can be placed, verging on ubiquity over time. It's likely most of us are already garnering something of use from the Internet of Things, be that from a wearable or IoT enabled security system and/or climate control system. And while many of the creative-yet-'fluff'-appeal inventions in the IoT will quickly disappear as being as useful as the Pet Rock™, we will soon be finding ourselves benefiting in ways that will be superlative in nature as we are entertained, as we have more data to make wiser business decisions, and as we ultimately find our lives improved, extended or perhaps even saved.

Shameless Plug: Register for the Oracle Internet of Things Cloud Service webcast on October 14th to learn from Bhagat Nainani and Peter Utzschneider, with key partners Accenture Digital, GEMÜ and V2COM, how the Oracle Internet of Things Cloud Service can simplify how your business can drive shorter time to business value from IoT.

Internet of Things brings tremendous promise to integrate every smart "thing" in this world. Having been an integration practitioner for more than decade, I find it hard to resist drawing a parallel between these 2 worlds: the world of integration & the world of Internet of Things.

- IoT market is Wild Wild West - fragmented, full of competing standards & proprietary solutions - exactly where integration was in 90s before SOA, webServices & XML redefined the landscape. ETSI is doing significant work to unify different standardization efforts and Oracle is actively contributing to this effort. But, there is lot of ground to be covered.

- Smart things i.e. sensing devices, medium powered gateways represent the IoT endpoints. This is akin to B2B integration scenario where cloud apps, B2B apps etc are communicating with the integration platform. Of course, we are now talking about hundreds to even millions of devices sending data to an enterprise versus a handful of apps in a traditional integration project

- There are wide range of devices supporting different interfaces, communication protocols and lack interoperability. It's virtually impossible for any vendor to provide connectivity solution to entire breed of current and emerging devices. Before enterprise applications started becoming service enabled, we all grappled with the challenge of dealing with myriad of applications exposing their functionality through proprietary interfaces.

List could go on and on. But, it makes one think whether a service oriented approach could be considered when building an IoT application. Before we apply service oriented principles to IoT architecture, we should acknowledge the fact that IoT does bring its unique set of challenges

- Security: How do I ensure that data in motion (traveling between devices, gateways, network to enterprise apps/cloud) or data at rest is secured?

 - Identity – Device is the new data source. But, there is no human associated with a M2M device unlike an enterprise app or a mobile. This makes it challenging for enterprises to manage the device lifecycle - onboard/off board new devices and manage their identity

 - Device Management: How do I remotely manage and monitor a device throughout its lifecycle (diagnostics, troubleshooting, configuration)?

 - Analytics: IoT will lead to data deluge. Enterprises would need to think beyond traditional business intelligence tools. How do I analyze IoT data at real-time (i.e. is there a medical emergency based on data received from blood pressure monitor?) to how data is analyzed for historical & predictive analytics (How do I improve patient care based on medical trends from patients over past 6 months)?

 In a typical SOA Composite application, we have collection of business processes, business services, data services with each layer building on top of the other to enable loosely coupled integration. Data services expose application interfaces as services which could in turn be orchestrated together to create a business service. E.g. "Create Employee Record" Data Service is responsible for creating a new record in Fusion HCM application, while "Onboard Employee" business service would orchestrate several steps (read data services) needed to on-board a new employee (create employee record, provision new email account etc).

">Figure 1: Layered SOA Architecture

IoT architecture could essentially be modeled in a similar layered format. Device layer, at the bottom, is the main source of data. It includes sensing/edge devices which sense the surrounding environment and transmit data in regular intervals. These sensors, in turn, may interact with an intelligent gateway. Gateway provides data aggregator and in few cases device level data processing capabilities. Data is funneled through a communication service provider network. CSP could either play the role of the network provider or it could move up the value chain to offer IoT infrastructure services. This layer would enable seamless connectivity with different M2M devices (akin to data services in SOA) and offer the ability to remotely monitor and manage them for device connectivity.

 IOT services layer is completed agnostic of underlying devices, communication protocols and connectivity semantics. This layer would include core set of services to build IoT applications (i.e. composite applications)
- Analyze data at real-time (event processing)
- Act on M2M data & events (integration service)
- Enable historical, real-time and predictive analytics (Analytics Services)
- Visualize operational and analytical data through mobile/desktop (UI Services)

- Manage data security & identity of devices/apps (Security & Identity Management Service)

The tour guide was knowledgable, and the market we explored with her was fascinating. The brewery was similarly interesting, with samples of delicious beer and sake. We learned a lot about Japanese food and beverages, including the sake-brewing process. Finally, the cooking class was very fun and we produced simple, delicious food under the guidance of a patient instructor. This was a highlight of our time in Kyoto.

Nukkad - a series of tells of simple minds, herat to heart with each otherA serial I have ever liked since I got access to TV in my early youth. A group of people, all from poor families, aspires to become socially affluent. But their each of their aspiration ends with a definite failure but with a success of human feeling and human elements - love and affection with each other. The sweetness of human relation gives a pleasure of mind at the end of each and every episode. I would ever remember the happiness I got when I viewed the serial long back.

... in the future the following article from Seeking Alpha is of interest:
"Silver Wheaton Shares Could Face Distress"
Place the above title in your browser to access. Currently it will be at the top of the list. JJ Butler, by the way, is a pseudonym (no relation to Jim Butler).
Articles like this are of more interest than the multitude of hit pieces against SLW daily on this message board posted without credible sources to Internet titled articles. The analysis seems to be sound but each person should do their own due diligence to come to their own conclusions. Basically what Butler is saying is that SLW has taken on a lot of debt in order to expand its agreements with silver miners while betting on silver price increases. If silver prices would decrease significantly from here SLW would be in financial trouble, just as it was in late '08 and '09. It would seem that nothing would make the banksters, their political puppets (like the one referred to above) and otherwise captured interests happier than to see that happen. They always seem to have prevailed in the past...until they won't.
keep hugging that silver
How do we gauge the impact of "declining metals prices" when we know that the trade is solely on paper and does not represent the real price of the metals?
The Jim WIllie pieces I mentioned on Sunday speaks to the fact that there is an arbitrage opportunity opening up because of the disparity.
The article on pascua lama indicates no issues related to mining claims, which seems to be a continuing theme of one who posts here regularly.
What seems of more importance to the local people who depend on water from the glaciers is the contamination and supply of water taken for mining purposes. This is not a trivial issue protecting the interests of locals, especially when they must be dependent on their political representatives upholding the promises made by Barrick to not negatively impact the environment to such a degree that it will destroy the local agricultural economy.
Given how large corporate interests sway the decisions of officialdom, the arguments of locals that they are likely to be negatively impacted are understandable. If locals cannot extract ironclad agreements that promise that the environment will not be substantially and negatively impacted with a cease and desist order against all further continuation of mining operations, then it will become evident that any environmental promises will be broken and locals will need to take whatever steps they deem necessary to protect their interests. This assumes continued monitoring of mining operations.
Jim Willie is a macro-economist. That is probably the safest and only position to take because predictions on timing are impossible, especially when considering the manipulative ways of central banks, their elitist owners and all those partnering with the banking cartel. His claims of arbitrage taking place in the Shanghai Exchange probably have little meaning to anyone but professionals within the sector. It has been noted however that the price, according to Kitco charts, tends to be lower until trading opens in New York. At that point, immediately upon opening, the price skyrockets to about mid-session on that part of a 3-day cycle, presumably leaving bagholders at higher prices. So the quantity of PMs is not flowing into the small investor market, but rather to elitist circles.

It's been more than three months since a young Newtown man shot and killed his mother and then drove to his former elementary school where he used a powerful semiautomatic weapon to slaughter 20 small children and six adults in the most vicious crime in Connecticut history.
Yet it may be three months more before the State Police complete and make public their official report on the mass murder. This shouldn't be.
Nor should we be hearing previously unknown details about the shootings from high ranking state police officers at police conventions in New Orleans or Las Vegas. Some of the indiscreet confidence sharing was from the same top cop responsible for assembling the long delayed report, a report spokesman Paul Vance tells us will not be ready until sometime in June.
To date, most of what Connecticut citizens know about the killings comes from what they have read and seen with their own eyes in the news media. The State Police have reported that after killing his mother with a handgun, Lanza used an AR-15 Semiautomatic rifle and 30-round magazines to kill 26 children and adults before killing himself with one of the two semiautomatic handguns he carried.
The guns were legally purchased by his mother, Nancy Lanza, but we have not been told how the killer gained access to them. We know little about him, his activities and his mental state, though we have been warned that questionable privacy laws will not be waived despite this awful crime.
A reluctance to reveal information in unsolved crimes is proper and understandable, but in this case, the guilty party is known and is dead. Yet, in his zeal to maintain secrecy, Danbury State's Attorney Stephen Sedensky asked a Superior Court judge to deny requests from news organizations to unseal warrants and affidavits in the case with the incredible argument that arrests are not anticipated, "but have not been ruled out."
Judge John Blawie agreed, ruling "the state's interest in continuing nondisclosure substantially outweighs any right to public disclosure at this time." As The Hartford Courant responded, "That's not a reason. That's a conclusion." Secrecy has also fueled the conspiracy theorists and other rumor mongers on the Internet and elsewhere.
As the Connecticut General Assembly, the U.S. Congress and many other legislative bodies consider post-Newtown, remedial gun legislation, they are relying on what has been reported in media accounts regarding the killer's mental health, his addiction to video games and his fascination with mass murderers and their methods. But they are also subjected to those often unreliable and inaccurate theories and reports on the Internet.
All of this boiled over when an unidentified police officer attending the International Association of Police Chiefs Convention in New Orleans told The New York Daily News about revelations made by Connecticut State Police Col. Danny Stebbins. In a talk billed as early lessons learned in Newtown, Col. Stebbins reportedly revealed for the first time that Lanza had been collecting data on mass murderers for years and had created a seven-by-four-foot spreadsheet with information on about 500 killers, their victims and the guns they used.
Neither families of the victims nor legislators who had been refused updates on the case had been told about the spreadsheet or its data and House Minority Leader Larry Cafero, for one, had had enough.
Cafero said it was irresponsible for Stebbins to be giving strangers at an out-of-state meeting information denied to families and legislators "trying to craft a reasonable compromise." He called on Stebbins to issue an interim report, a request echoed by a grumpy Gov. Malloy, who said the state's attorney would issue a brief report on March 29 while wondering, as "a former prosecutor," why legislators need to know so much.
Since the governor presumably knows as much as the State Police, this seems to be an unwarranted slur aimed at legislators trying to vote thoughtfully on serious gun legislation. But, at least the governor responded to Rep. Cafero's request and we can expect what is sure to be a brief report of some kind on Good Friday, when the Capitol is closed and much of the public is distracted by Easter activities.
Meanwhile, high ranking police officials might consider staying home and concentrating on finishing the report about this awful crime before again taking their secrets on the road.
