The celebration of October 12 - nationally as Columbus Day and in some places as Indigenous Peoples' Day - provides an opportunity to reflect on the true history of Columbus' and subsequent colonizer's actions and the lasting impacts they have had for hundreds of years on Native Americans and the 'war culture' in the United States. This 'war culture' is so endemic that many are unaware of it. Personally, I often wonder why it is that we, as a nation, so often celebrate military heroes rather than those who work for peace and those who contribute to our society in more positive ways. There are Italians who made great contributions to the world whom we could celebrate. This raises the question of what we as a society value.
The national Columbus Day holiday dates back to 1937. Prior to that, it was celebrated by several states and there were commemorations on the three and four hundredth anniversaries of Columbus' landing. This national holiday came to be through the lobbying efforts of a prominent Italian-American, Generoso Pope, and the Knights of Columbus. Many Italian-Americans view Columbus Day as a time to mark their cultural heritage.
Alternatively, some jurisdictions have refused to celebrate Columbus Day and each year, new cities are passing legislation to change the focus of the day from Columbus to Indigenous history and culture. This is done in the recognition that Columbus' behavior - and that of the European colonizers who followed him - was brutal and led to mass deaths, starvation, suffering, theft of land and displacement of communities, violation of treaties and exploitation of resources, much of which continues today.
Recently, Congress passed a clause added to the National Defense Authorization Act by Senator John McCain that gave sacred Apache land in New Mexico called Oak Flat to copper mining companies. Similar events are occurring on sacred Sioux land in the Black Hills that are being taken for uranium mining. Sacred land is essential for Native American culture, medicines and spiritual practice.
When Columbus 'discovered' North America, there were already a hundred million people living here. As settlers moved across the land that now makes up the United States, Native American communities had their crops and homes destroyed by settlers, and women, children and the elderly were targeted in massacres. What is known as the 'American Genocide' has served as models for others who committed and are committing genocide abroad.
And the colonizer's military practices established the 'American Way of War' which continues today. Modern methods of warfare use the same tactics of destroying a population's ability to provide for its basic needs whether it is through the spraying of chemicals such as Napalm and Agent Orange used in Vietnam or through economic sanctions. Civilians, including women and children, continue to be targeted in war. High numbers of civilians were killed in US attacks on Libya and Syria. The use of unmanned drones in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, which is supposed to be more selective, does not spare the innocent. Drones have killed upwards of 5,500 people including 1,100 civilians, 250 of which were children.
Rather than celebrating those who are responsible for crimes against humanity, this could be a day to educate ourselves on the hidden history of the founding of the United States through colonization and to consider how that impacts our behavior at home and abroad. This could be a day to celebrate and share the rich and diverse cultural heritage of all who live on this land and to find ways to move towards a humanitarian culture that values all who contribute to a more peaceful and just world. Together, we can move through a process of truth telling and reconciliation that creates a healthier and safer culture for all of us.

I am actively involved in the organization of the Panini Linguistics Olympiad, the Indian national version of the International Linguistics Olympiad (IOL). These programs introduce high school students to the fascinating world of languages, linguistics and NLP through puzzles on decoding the rules and patterns of lesser known, often endangered or extinct, languages. Personally, I enjoy designing and solving such puzzles, and training and interacting with the super-smart kids. We hosted the 14th International Linguistics Olympiad in Mysore, India, July 2016. I was the coach-cum-team leader of the Indian national team at IOL 2014 (Beijing), IOL 2015 (Blagoevgrad) and the upcoming IOL 2017 (Dublin).

Sometimes one of the best parts about a vacation is the journey to your destination. This is true of the trip from Asheville to Atlanta. Rather than joining hundreds of other cars on crowded interstates, why not take the road less traveled and take in the beautiful scenery as you pass through. It is more than worth your time since when you make the time on the road a fun part of the trip, you'll have more time that actually feels like vacation time. So, next time you plan a drive from Asheville to Atlanta take the scenic route and make time for a visit to Clarkesville and Glen-Ella Springs!
Roads to Take from Asheville to Atlanta
When you're traveling from Asheville to Atlanta, you don't have to take the quickest route of interstates and large highways. When you go off the beaten path you'll find the drive to be far more pleasant and enriching. There are two scenic roads you can take during your travels from Atlanta to Asheville, NC or the other way around. Both roads are worth wandering down.
Richard B. Russell Scenic Byway
The Richard B. Russell Scenic Byway is a National Scenic Byway that travels through the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest. Breathtaking views await travelers as they wind through mountain gaps and valleys. You can access Brasstown Bald from the byway and take in the amazing vistas. If you're looking for amazing views and beautiful places to stop off for a stretch and a photo, then Richard B. Russell Scenic Byway is the way to go during your trip from Asheville to Atlanta.
Scenic Highway 197
Georgia's Scenic Highway 197 is the perfect route to take through North Georgia if you want amazing scenery and plenty of unique places to stop along your way. Pottery shops, fishing spots, and places to get amazing southern food all dot this highway. The initial expanse of highway in Habersham County provides travelers with scenic vistas with open farmland and grazing cattle. As you continue north you'll find historic buildings and more. Then Scenic Highway 197 goes through the city of Clarkesville where you can enjoy quaint shops, antique stores, and restaurants. As you continue you'll find general stores and places to find some famous North Georgia pottery. The road continues along the Soque River and then through Rabun County's mountains and Moccasin Creek State Park.
Where to Stay When Traveling from Asheville to Atlanta
If you're taking the scenic route from Charlotte to Asheville to Atlanta, you should consider extending your trip to spend some time at Glen-Ella Springs. Our Clarkesville, GA Inn has the ideal accommodations for those who are exploring the North Georgia Mountains. Our rooms and suites combine rustic elegance with modern comforts to provide you with the most relaxing experience possible. When not resting and enjoying the comfort of your room, you can explore the property where you'll find beautiful views of the mountains and a serene atmosphere. Or, you can take a dip in our pool. Plus, our on-site Restaurant is one of the best fine dining establishments in the area. Our dishes feature the freshest local produce, so you can enjoy a farm-to-table meal in an elegant yet comfortable atmosphere. At Glen-Ella Springs, you'll have a memorable time in the North Georgia Mountains no matter your ultimate destination! We'll see you soon!

Obama Is Considering Latino for Labor Post
Thomas Perez, a top U.S. Justice Department official, is President Barack Obama's choice to become the new secretary of labor, a person familiar with the selection said.
Mr. Perez, who is Latino, would help diversify a Cabinet that some critics have said lacks Latino representation. A coalition of Hispanic advocacy groups has sent Mr. Obama a letter asking him to name more Latinos to his cabinet.
"The president's cabinet needs to reflect the diversity of this nation," said Eliseo Medina, secretary-treasurer of the Service Employees International Union. "In Tom, he not only gets an effective advocate, but he gets someone who looks like a significant portion of our community."
A White House official said Mr. Perez, 51 years old, is a leading candidate, but said the president hasn't settled on a choice.
Bloomberg first reported Friday that Mr. Obama was "close" to choosing Mr. Perez for the post.
Mr. Obama's cabinet has undergone substantial churn since his reelection in November. If nominated and confirmed, Mr. Perez would succeed Hilda Solis, who left the position earlier in the year.
Other candidates who have been in the mix are Joe Garcia, lieutenant governor of Colorado, and Edward Montgomery, who is dean of the Georgetown Public Policy Institute.
Mr. Perez is the assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. Before that, he headed the state of Maryland's Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation.
He was the first Latino elected to the Montgomery County Council in Maryland, according to the Justice Department website. He is a graduate of Brown University and Harvard Law School.

Google Gets In On Ground Level With Drone Maker Titan Buy
Titan Aerospace, the drone maker Facebook had been in acquisition talks with prior (as we've now confirmed following The WSJ's ), was a name that took many in the industry by surprise. How was it that a company which reportedly has solar-powered drones that can fly at 65,000 feet above sea level for five years without needing to land, did not have more public attention or media coverage? The answer, as it turns out, is that there may not have been too much to actually cover yet, as the company was very young.
For starters, it hasn't been around long enough to prove that its drones can fly for five years, because the company itself isn't that old. This is partly why investors were , we understand – it was too soon. However, we hear that Titan, though early, was still further along in some regards than other drone makers getting bought, including recent , which went for $20 million.
Titan's number, when it comes out, will be much higher than that, we hear, as news that Facebook was sniffing around played a role in terms of negotiations.
What Does Titan Have?
Titan had registered just one aircraft with the FAA in , the remaining small handful have been registered in either or , indicating its still early nature. The team worked out of this nondescript , one source pointed out to us, referencing a Titan employee's YouTube video, titled "walk through of the Titan crew's new house in new Mexico."
A number of Titan's hires are also more junior-level people founder Maximus (Max) Yaney brought in, who believed in his vision. Only around a year ago did the company make its first notable hire worth issuing press releases about, when it brought in CEO Vern Raburn, who previously founded Eclipse Aviation, to run things.
In its early days, Titan bootstrapped itself through a small grant from the state of New Mexico. In from the New Mexico Economic Development Department, dated Q2 2013, Titan Aerospace is described as being in the "final stages of R&D" for its solar-powered unmanned vehicles. The company at that time had 12 employees, and was working with (TVC), a nonprofit foundation by Lockhead Martin that helps companies commercialize technology invented at Sandia National Labs and other New Mexico-based research entities.
According to the report, Titan was working with TVC on an application for an (Small Business Innovation Research) grant, and it was also meeting with , an incentive program that pays for on-the-job training to help "fund training for future staff."
This is an interesting way to go about funding a company which has come up with breakthrough technology – but there's a reason why Titan may have gone after grants like this, as we alluded to before: raising from traditional investors was still tough. Titan wasn't at the point where it could prove anything about whether or not its ideas would work.
For example, though there are recordings of flights on YouTube, they aren't demos of what the final product promises. There is of a prototype taking flight, but it's at about 2,000 feet in the air (not 65K) and it's at a smaller scale than the proposed Solara models. The 2013 proof-of-concept test, which took place in Moriarty, NM, was the company's biggest, publicly detailed achievement to date. Titan didn't have plans to begin production of the Solara 50 aircraft, weighing 400 lbs. with a 162-foot wingspan, until mid-2014, .
We hear that Titan will have another milestone to publicize soon, however, following this Google deal.
That above report also pointed out that high-altitude, solar UAVs have been tried in the past, including by Boeing, who had been making progress on its SolarEagle until DARPA funding was cut, and AeroVironment, who developed the Helios prototype for NASA, . Titan believed it could do better.
But patent searches for Titan Aerospace and founder Yaney come up short (even variations like or , to be sure), which is curious. There's a with several non-drone patents, but it appears to be company pre-dating this Titan.
Titan's drones were still in the R&D phases when Facebook came knocking. Facebook wanted to accelerate the production of the aircraft, which the company knew would be tricky because, in the development stage, the process is serial, not parallel. But Facebook's effectively unlimited capital could speed up some things, like production planning or automating equipment purchases. , under its Project Loon umbrella, or elsewhere – potentially using the tech to augment its work with aerial imagery or having the drones carry atmospheric sensors, notes The WSJ.
Or, in other words, as Google buys Titan, it's definitely getting in on the ground (ahem) level here.

Rib Cadaver - grow together?
Doctor Answers 9
Rib Cadaver - grow together?
Harvested rib cartilage is usually used without fascia. The rib cartilage is anchored and stabilized to the bone and cartilage of the nose.
Cadaveric rib grafts can be used to narrow the tip and enhance the nasal bridge. Fascia is usually harvested for diced cartilage. If the cartilage is not being diced and carved carefully with smooth edges, then the rib does not necessarily need an additional fascia harvest. Cadaveric rib has a higher rate of resorption over time compared to using your own rib but will incorporate into your nasal tissues if done correctly. Hope this helps!

Cadaveric Rib Graft to Nose
There is no reason to wrap a cadaver rib graft with fascia. Such encasement methods are used for autologous diced rib grafts to the nose.

Cadaveric rib
I prefer to use the patient's own rib, if at all possible, but cadaveric rib cartilage is often used in rhinoplasty and has very low complication rates. It does not grow with the nose, which is not an issue with rhinoplasty. The fascia harvesting can be avoided, but considering (1) that the fascia can be a useful resource in performing rhinoplasty and (2) harvesting of the fascia is not associated with any additional recovery, difficulty, or complication beyond that associated with the rib cartilage harvest, I would advise you to not worry too much about the fascia being used. Good luck!
Rhinoplasty: Cadaver rib
Rhinoplasty is a surgery to improve the shape of the nose for breathing or appearance.
Cadaver rib is by definition tissue that is not alive. It does not have the capacity to grow with the nose tissue. Cartilage that is harvested from your body (septum, ear, or rib) has the potential to grow with your body as it is your own tissue.
Consult with a rhinoplasty surgeon experienced with cartilage grafting who explain what is appropriate for your face for a safe any happy result. Safety comes first.
Web reference: http://www.lajollafacialplasticsurgery.com/facial-plastic-surgery/rhinoplasty
Growth of Cadaver Rib Cartilage
Although cadaver cartilage can be used to augment or provide support in rhinoplasty surgery I feel that the patients own cartilage is more reliable and cartilage survival more predictable. Fascia can be avoided but this is is frequently used to enhance circulation and avoid irregularities caused by the edges of the cartilage graft.
Cadaver Rib graft?
in most patients a rib graft is not required. You are better having your own cartilage from your septum or your ear used with or without fascia than using a rib graft in my opinion. See a very experienced revision rhinoplasty surgeon for further evaluation.
Cadaver rib
Thank you for the question and I have gotten excellent results with cadaver rib cartilage and in the apprprooiate patients gives excellent results.
Dr Corbin

Rib Cadaver - grow together?
Cadaver rib can be used just the same way your own rib can be used. Studies have shown there to be no difference in complication rate or outcome. However, it is critical that you are in the hands of a surgeon who is very comfortable with and has extensive experience with rib grafts. This is key or you can have warping and shape changes in the years down the road. The rib will never "grow together" with your nose but it will be surrounded by scar tissue (as would your own rib) and will be held in place if put in properly in surgery. Hope that helps!

The development of a self-storage facility generally begins with a comprehensive market analysis of the proposed project area. New owners and/or developers will usually hire a third-party specialist to conduct a detailed feasibility study, which will identify market demographics and other key metrics to determine the viability of self-storage in a particular location. Once a site is chosen, an engineer and architect are hired to design a self-storage facility that will maximize the investment in the land, including the site layout and unit mix. The developer, builder and/or owner may need to meet with local residents and the planning and zoning board to discuss the community impact of the project and the aesthetics of the individual buildings, including landscaping, building height, door color, etc. Owners might consider a multi-story building to maximize their footprint, or converting a building from another use to self-storage to widen their options.

GBP/USD awaits labor data
Kira Iukhtenko, analyst at FX BAZOOKA
Sterling is trading in the green on Monday, but holds below the Friday's high of $1.6460. At the end of the past week cable found strong support at $1.6300 and soared by more than 150 pips on upbeat retail trade data. UK retail sales rose by 2.6% in December, surpassing the +0.3% forecast. This was the biggest year over year rise in a decade: this Christmas season was extremely successful for the UK retailers.
This week markets will be focused on the UK labor market data on Wednesday. Unemployment is expected to decline from 7.4% to 7.3%, moving toward the BoE 7% threshold. Jobless claims are forecasted to extend contraction, falling by 32.3K in December (November: -36.7K). Labor market improvement will definitely support the sterling, rising expectations of a hawkish BoE. The central bank will also release minutes from its January policy meeting on Wednesday.
GBP/USD extends the careful bearish correction from the Jan. 2 high ($1.6590). The technical picture is pretty uncertain these days. Only a clear break from the $1.6300/6470 range will lead to a more sustained move.
Chart. H4 GBP/USD

My name is Mike Mellquist. I currently work at FRISQ as a UX-designer and front-end developer. Besides working at FRISQ I also have my own company working as a consultant. User experience design is my area of expertise and I love creating logical and intuitive user flows and user-friendly user interfaces. I use tools such as Sketch, Invision, Photoshop, etc. when I design wireframes and LoFi-prototypes. In my work as a front-end developer I program HTML, CSS and Javascript. I have also experience in backend programming languages such as Java and C# as I have studied the Master of Science Programme in Interaction Technology and Design at Umeå University where 2 of the 5 years are solely computer science.
In 2015 I made a responsive website for Arega Projektledning AB. The client wanted to have a simple website that showed their basic information and earlier projects. The website has a fullscroll effect both vertically and horizontally. I also designed their logotype.
Visit their website: www.arega.se
In the autumn of 2015 I created an interactive prototype for Compentus and Tele2. The goal was to attract attention from pedestrians passing by the display window and make them interact with the prototype. By making the user interact with "Frank" on the street they also attract attention from other pedestrians, thus making the advertisement more effective. I programed a Kinect sensor to sense where the person was, if they looked at the screen, and if they performed a full squat.
In 2014 I worked as a interaction design consultant for Bostaden Umeå AB where I was asked to redesign their website and do a usability analysis on the current website. The result was a responsive, clean, and user friendly design. This is a design concept.
BannerFlow is a HTML5 banner production platform. BannerFlow is used by companies such as: Klarna, Betsson, Unibet, 3, etc. At the BannerFlow company, situated in Stockholm, I designed all the templates for their new advertisement product.
(If the images don't show you have to disable Adblock Plus on this site)
This is a "mashup", which is a combination of different services' APIs. In this project I combined Spotify, a translation service, and Systembolaget to create a new service where you can write the name of your drink and Spotify will play a song from the drinks country of origin.
One of my assignments at a company in Sri Lanka was to structure and design an interface for a monitoring tool which administrators of a certain program will use. The program will soon be released to companies around the world, like the Swedish companies: Gina Tricot, Systembolaget, Stadium, ByggMax, and many more.
This marine GPS design was made in a project I took part in in the spring of 2012. We all helped with the design of the interface and the physical product although I myself drew the GPS in this picture in a 3D visualization program.

Talk:List of build automation software
|WikiProject Software / Computing
|(Rated List-class)
|This subarticle is kept separate from the main article, Build automation, due to size or style considerations.
I'm not sure what is meant by "Make-based". I think what might be meant is "make-like". --Edalytical (talk) 04:25, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
There are no reason to break out the make-based tools uniquely, except possibly to mention make in the history of build automation. The list is in fact incorrect. Build tools should probably be organized based on ability to do source code and binary dependency management vs. workflow automation, and whether the tool is an interpreter for a scripting language (make, Ant) or does not require scripting (OpenMake). Seanblanton (talk) 21:50, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
The choice of entries looks strange, what is the criteria, why not to put Redo not yet in Wikipedia, Scons and Waf which have their wikipedia page, Buildout that is also in Wikipedia and link to this true page, and probably most of the Category: Build automation and Category: Compiling tools? --marc (talk) 20:58, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
Shouldn't make-alikes list include Borland make, at least for historical reasons? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 16:09, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
I see what the article is trying to achieve and I agree that that the way it is split out is awkward.
- Continuous Integration isn't a type of tool and it isn't a language; it is a practice. All references to Continuous Integration outside of the practice context should be corrected. You can perform Continuous Integration with many of these applications if you organize correctly.
- Many of these tools listed in this article are build tools or build scripting languages and not what the community would consider build automation tools; Build Automation tools automate the running of the build process, involving build tools or build scripting languages. Make, NMake, NAnt are all just build tools, for example. Ant is among the more ubiquitous build tools and it seems to be missing from the article, which takes away from the consistency either way).
--Rriehle (talk) 15:30, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
- Where do you see a difference between "just build tools" and "built automation tools"? Schily (talk) 16:42, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Configuration Management Tools List in the wrong place[edit]
"Configuration Management Tools" section should not be here; there already is one at List_of_revision_control_software
220.127.116.11 (talk) 15:36, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
Concur, though a link to the list of configuration management tools would be very useful. The tools listed in the configuration management section are not project configuration management tools (which is what is what one usually thinks about when doing software builds). These tools are system configuration tools, which is useful for network administrators but not so relevant for software authors. Unless the Wikipedia author community decides otherwise, this section should be replaced with a link to sw project configuration management tools. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 00:24, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
Page notice added[edit]
Template:Editnotices/Page/List of build automation software - that all entries should already have an article. Any objections? - David Gerard (talk) 11:55, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
@David: You reverted my addition to the list, and then I saw this rule about entries needing an article. I'm new to editing wikipedia, so I'm not sure if this is the right place to talk, but to avoid future mistakes I have to ask: is this a general rule adopted by wikipedia for all lists (the "Template" seem to point in this direction) or is this specific to this page (I certainly saw many wiki lists with items without articles, e.g. Comparison_of_continuous_integration_software).
Can you please clarify? There's probably a good reason for the rule: I get the goal to have a consistent encyclopedia, but on the other hand I'm afraid it adds a barrier to keeping lists up to date. For example I can always find 5 minutes to add an item with a 1-liner summary + informative external links, but currently I'm not committed to writing a full article. Thanks for your feedback - Antoine Poliakov (talk) 15:38, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
We might note that (almost?) any scripting language can be used to construct a build automation. Personally I just use a BASH script to automate the build of any of my larger project, (be they C/C++ Haskell Perl or even Java). I would be interested to know how many people/projects also use BASH for build automation. alexx (talk) 12:01, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
As far as I know, [| gruntjs] is also used as a build automation tool - but where to put it in this list?

One of the challenges in tracking new technologies is understanding when they transition from hype (usually called "vision") to reality. I'm not referring to the well-known "crossing the chasm" between early users of technology and mainstream markets. I'm talking about a much earlier transition, from dream to real technology. The Internet of Things ("IoT") is nearing that transition point right now, and the battle is looming between the mobile and chip companies that are heavily researching the area, including Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM), Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO), Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), ZTE (OTCPK:ZTCOF), IBM (NYSE:IBM), General Electric (NYSE:GE) and more. Before talking about the companies, let's take a look at the Internet of Things vision itself.
The Internet of Things refers to having our real-world physical environments connected to the Internet and accessible from computers and smartphones. Like the Internet itself, the Internet of Things is envisioned doing many different things: finding a lost set of keys by wirelessly asking the key chain where it is, turning on your air conditioning from the car as you're on the way home, getting an alert on your phone when your washing machine is leaking, being notified when your teenager drives the car into a dangerous neighborhood, reading on your smartphone about the materials used in the dress you're trying on in the store, seeing the day's weather forecast on your bathroom mirror in the morning, finding out how many eggs you have in your refrigerator when you're at the supermarket, and much more.
The dream of the Internet of Things isn't new. From the "Jetsons" to "Star Trek", TV shows and movies have long envisioned a world in which our technology can help us control our environment. More recently, these dreams have moved from science fiction to corporate visions of the future.
Even thirty years ago, engineers were playing with technology that would now be called the Internet of Things. In the early 1980s, in my second year of college at Carnegie Mellon, I first used the famous networked Coke machine, a Coke machine that could be checked online as to whether it was loaded and whether the Coke in the machine was cold. This was before Web browsers and indeed before mass-market e-mail, and it worked -- department folks could check that there was cold Coke before walking up or down steps to the machine. But it was built with the engineering equivalent of chewing gum and toothpicks.
The recent proliferation of wireless and cellular technologies is making the Internet of Things much more realizable. For a few extra dollars in component costs, things of all sizes can connect to the Internet. And most devices nowadays are already using computer chips for control.
But big challenges still remain. If my "things" are connected to my Internet router at home, how can I access them from outside my home, in such a way that the rest of the world can't access them? If my smartphone, my connected thermometer and my connected thermostat are all made by different companies, how can they work together to enable me to check my house's temperature and activate the air conditioner? Will I need a different app for my coffee machine, my bread maker, my television and my air conditioner, or can they all work together with a single app? And how can a variety of sensors, sensing things like water behind a washing machine or the door opening on the liquor cabinet, have their signals combined in a way that can send appropriate notifications or take desired actions?
The challenges get even bigger when we consider the Internet of Things on a metropolitan scale. How can data from speed sensors on highways be organized when there are thousands of such sensors around a city? How can stoplights be connected without opening them up to hackers? How can thousands of connected "things," from street lights to gunshot sensors, be used effectively without being overwhelmed by the quantity of data?
In the past few years there has been an extraordinary amount of concrete technology research addressing all of these challenges. A recent report overviews research by over a dozen major companies, including mobile, technology, software, network and computer chip companies. The Internet of Things is promising to be one of the next battlefields between these companies. Most importantly, each company is researching the Internet of Things in a manner that fits their company's own focus and strength.
In Cisco's vision, the significant technology exists in the network. It envisions over 50 billion "intelligent things" connected to the Internet by 2020. Cisco's research explores how "minimalistic connected objects" can be connected to the network in a manner in which the objects can be very simple. The brains will exist in the network itself, in the form of "distributed intelligence agents" that organize the network of simple objects and manage the flow of information between the simple objects and Internet servers. These are only two examples of Cisco research in the Internet of Things, which show Cisco's agenda of building the IoT's smarts into the network itself. In June, 2013, Cisco launched a new business unit that consolidated IoT-related R&D.
Not surprisingly, Qualcomm's vision puts the emphasis on the things themselves, specifically how things like coffee machines can be connected to the Internet and accessible on smartphones and computers. Qualcomm's R&D, including its Alljoyn alliance, is looking at putting the smarts into the "things" themselves, which of course would require the connected objects having computer chips. Its research is focused on how different "things" can offer information and services that can be accessed by other devices and by permitted Internet users. Similarly, Intel's research in Internet of Things is looking at how computing power can be added throughout the Internet of Things.
Mobile companies are also looking at the Internet of Things in ways that fit their own strengths. Google is developing a platform in which its Android operating system can interact with hardware devices. It is also engaged in advanced research on how sensor data can be collected and made available by a centralized system, much as Google's search engine does for web pages. This includes how its cloud computing platforms can be used to process Internet of Things data.
Microsoft is researching Internet of Things in a numbers of directions, some based on its Xbox gaming device, some based on media sharing, and some based on mobile. Apple is researching "personal items networks" that connect a wide range of nearby personal things to the user's iPhone, along with a novel proximity sensor for sensing where accessories or tags are relative to an iPhone. Nokia (NYSE:NOK) has prototyped tags that can be connected to key chains and other small objects, enabling them to be tracked by Nokia phones. It too has significant research underlying the technology used in its tags. ZTE is engaged in a comprehensive research program on Internet of Things, supporting mobile applications such as healthcare and travel, and have also made business alliances related to Internet of Things.
Meanwhile, IBM is researching Internet of Things in terms of how servers can collect and analyze data from sensors and other things to generate information that can be used effectively by users and by other programs. General Electric and Bosch are working heavily on how intelligence and connectivity can be added to a wide variety of appliances.
Meanwhile, this report also details more than twenty-five start-up companies that are developing Internet of Things devices, including tags to enable phones to find keys and purses, thermostats that enable you to start your air conditioning from your car, and sensors that tell you when your washing machine is leaking or your locked cabinet is opened. Start-ups are also working on "hubs," devices that connect to, and manage, a variety of sensors and other things.
In the short term, it appears that a wide range of connected "things" are going to be on the market by the end of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014. Early products are likely to be built with whatever can work, as was the CMU Coke machine, but soon companies will centralize on common hardware and software components, letting manufacturers focus on the distinctive aspects of each product.
In the longer term, infrastructure like that being researched by the major network and technology companies will be needed to manage the millions of devices that will be connected. Today's research and initial products are only the start of the battle. Over the upcoming years, we'll see not only the race to bring products and platforms to market, but also the race to define the approach to IoT. Will the key technologies be in the network, in the devices, in smartphones, in web servers, or all of the above?

Just...Don't Know What To Do Anymore.Mature
Sebastian sat on the seat in front of his window and gazed out the dark night sky.
At the moment he felt at ease, with no troubles weighing him down or being at the forefront of his mind.
Sebastian still felt embarassment and curious over what Thane's brother had said in the phone call. He couldn't understand why such a gorgeous male like Thane could go so long without a lovers touch; or anyone's touch is his case. A part of Sebastian wanted to be the one to change that, but because of his OCD he wasn't sure how it would go and that thought was enough to scare him away from it.
He took a deep calming breath and strayed away from the muddled thoughts of Thane. He instead pondered what he was going to do about Cole. He and Cole were what Sebastian thought to be; on very thin ice. Their friendship was crumbling down around him and he wasn't fast enough to catch the pieces and restore them to their former diminished glory.
He cared alot about Cole, but he didn't know if he cared more about Cole than he did for Thane or if it was a balance between the two. Cole still tried to act like nothing was wrong between them, but everytime Sebastian made the mistake of making eye contact wuth Cole, he saw the distance in his eyes, the pain and the anger that he carried.
Sebastian rubbed at his chest and tried to shy away from the thoughts of Cole aswell but to no avail.
Cole is the one person Sebastian would want to do anything for; anything that didn't breach the limits his OCD held him within. Or at least he thought he did until Thane came into his life and muddied the waters on where Cole used to linger.
Sebastian didn't know what to do anymore, he wished that he had a sign. He rolled his eyes at the cliche'd thought but he had no other way.
He won't walk away, no matter how much it hurts for him to stay, he cannot find it within himself to turn his back on the two men that meant more than the world to him and simply walk away. Sebastian sighed again and tipped his head back and closed his eyes.
He just didn't know what to do anymore. Sebastian really needed that sign, and soon before he goes mad with the thoughts that raged like a thunder storm inside of his head.

Schug Estate WineryView all wine
Founded in 1980, Schug Carneros Estate Winery is the showcase and life-long dream of one of California's most celebrated winemakers. Walter Schug's reputation blossomed during his tenure as Founding Winemaker for Joseph Phelps Vineyards in the 1970s, where he made California's first proprietary Bordeaux-Style blend (Insignia) and legendary vineyard designated Cabernets (Backus and Eisele Vineyards).
Drawing on his long experience in the production of fine wines in both Europe and California, Walter set up his... View More

Warwickshire's chances of winning the county championship may be fading, but the Bears remain on course for a one-day double after proving too strong for Kent in front of a desperately sparse crowd for a semi-final.
The utterly baffling scheduling, in midweek the day after local schools returned, meant even Warwickshire's decision to admit members and children for free, while adult tickets cost just £10, could not entice more than 3,000 spectators into a ground which holds the best part of 25,000.
Those who did come saw a high-class half-century from Jonathan Trott, well supported by his captain, Varun Chopra, during a 110-run partnership for the second wicket, ensure the T20 champions never looked likely to falter in pursuit of a Kent score that, even on a previously used and slightly slow pitch, was at least 50 runs below par.
The former England batsman hit six boundaries in going to his 50 at close to a run a ball, clipping the ball to the legside boundary with something of the certainty he showed throughout most of his international career. His dismissal, along with that of Chopra soon afterwards, gave the Kent supporters a modicum of hope, but Tim Ambrose, with an unbeaten half-century of his own, steered the Bears to the Lord's final with four overs to spare.
"We bowled really well and then were pretty professional in the chase. We knew we'd only lose if we were bowled out'" said Chopra.
Kent's innings stuttered and fizzled from the start, when openers Rob Key and Sam Northeast were able to hit just 41 runs during the opening 10-over powerplay.
Key's dismissal, caught at midwicket off a leading edge when trying to hit across the line at Boyd Rankin, confirmed the lack of pace in the track, and Northeast followed in much the same manner, playing too soon as he looked to turn the tall Irishman on the leg-side and looping a simplecatch back down the wicket to the bowler. Frustration inevitably began to play its part. The fact his 21 runs had occupied 37 balls must have been in Ben Harmison's mind when he attempted to drive a Jeetan Patel delivery without getting anywhere near the pitch of the ball and hit it straight to Laurie Evans at cover.
Brendan Nash, having turned Rikki Clarke down to long leg, was looking for an unlikely second when he was sent back and failed to beat Ambrose's throw.
Harmison was Patel's 94th victim of the season in all forms of cricket, and given how much turn the New Zealand off-spinner was extracting, his 95th was not long delayed. A huge wicket it was too, because Darren Stevens, who came into this game having scored 1,237 runs and taken 72 wickets across the three competitions, is Patel's main rival for the season's Most Valuable Player award.
The veteran Kent all-rounder must have thought he had added at least four runs to his total when he middled Patel towards deep midwicket, but Evans, stationed around 15 yards inside the rope, leapt high to take an outstanding one-handed catch above his head.
Towards the end of his spell, and with less than 20 overs remaining in the innings, Patel was bowling to Kent's left-handers with two slips, and while he did not pick up any more wickets, his frugality forced the batsmen to take risks against the seamers. The chief beneficiary was Oliver Hannon-Dalby, who saw an increasingly desperate Alex Blake sky a slog to deep square leg, before Fabian Cowdrey, hitting across the line, gave midwicket a simple catch.
At that stage Kent looked unlikely to raise the 200, but with Patel and Rankin bowled out, Sam Billings – surely coming in too far down the order at eight – hit 23 runs from his last nine balls to finish unbeaten on 40 and give his side a little more hope, though as Key admitted afterwards, not much.
"We were very poor on what I thought was a brilliant one-day pitch with something for both batters and bowlers," said the Kent captain.
"We were shocking, really. Credit to Boyd Rankin and Jeetan Patel but we donated wickets all day. If we'd have got 270 we'd have been right in the game."

|RE: Infrasearch
|Thu, 01 Jun 2000 15:14:39 GMT
Samantha is a very cool name, for a very cool project idea. > - design such meta-net to be safe and (possibly) protect copyrights with > specific metadata. Safe? I'm not sure what you mean, but I'd be most worried about a hacked Cocoon node that always responds to queries positively, similar to the web pages that put all sorts of non-pertinent words in HTML comments to increase keyword search hits. That or a Cocoon node that is pertinent to the query, but of low quality. In a distributed search, trust and value of nodes should be the primary sorting attribute. The only successful scalable distributed appraisal systems I've seen are similar to the slashdot moderation scheme, utilizing the masses to evaluate the massive. My earlier confusing comment about IBM was because they've retired a local metadata-based semantic search technology. They could come out of the blue (sorry about the pun) with a less flawed version that could provide local cocoon node searching. However, I disagree about Gnutella. The Gnutella protocol itself is *very* scalable, the existing network of Gnutella clients is not scalable because of poor implementations. The main problem is overaggressive pinging. [Clients should listen to and cache PONG messages destined for other servers, and realize the redundancy of issuing their own PING. Further they should only PING on startup, and again later only if a user manually initiates a single PING] Other things clients should do are preventing people from using Gnutella to chat (using queries to chat or forwarding chat packets), ignoring pings with payloads (since they're bogus), and limited queries per time frames (query spamming). I think these issues will be resolved in short order, since they're known and discussed. It's not in client's own self-interest to misbehave. Sorry for the digression. -Steve -----Original Message----- From: Stefano Mazzocchi [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2000 7:50 AM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Re: Infrasearch COFFMAN Steven wrote: > > Hi, > I think I found a piece that will help with making Cocoon semantic > search friendly as Stefano expounded upon the need for. > > The Gnutella folks have come up with InfraSearch, a way to use > Gnutella as a search engine aggregator...sorta.

Please, don't say that. I've just quoted TBL's ideas on this and concentrate on "how to make it work" rather than "how to specify its design". > Then we could leave it to the Infrasearch folks to work out > how to sort Cocoon site responses. In my vision, each site collaborates to the research. In fact, Infrasearch has something that no other search engine has: maximum query time. I believe there are _many_ ways to improve such a search engine and many ways to _abuse_ it (pirated mp3 and all that). Each Cocoon, at the end, should be a cell in this network.... well, I say let's stay at the window to see what happens. It's way to early to tell but I do see problems in this way of doing web resource, expecially in a metadata-less web as today. The web won over other information systems because of its scalability. Yahoo, Altavista and all that are centralized, they are the "old model". A new model is about distributed small engines that work on the content they own, on the metadata they understand. The only required thing is the "semantic contract" between local searchers. This can done by RDFSchema and the concept of metadata inheritance it puts forward. But there is a _long_ way to go: - designing the protocol for scalability (the Gnutella protocol is not enough) - testing time-dependent behavior and geographical dependency of the "meta-net" entry point (you could be too far away from the information you want for the query time you specified) - creating the logic language for metadata querying (W3C proposed Metalog, any alternatives?) - creating a way to send "compiled" metadata between clusters (to save network usage and disk space on clusters) - design such meta-net to be safe and (possibly) protect copyrights with specific metadata. I coined a name for such a project, which should implement Gnutella-like capabilities as well as be able to understand RDF and handle metadata-driven queries and pass them along to the other entities involved in such a network. "Samantha" Two reasons: 1) assonance with "semantic" 2) Fox Mulder's sister (yes, people, I was watching the X-Files episode when Mulder finally understands what happened to his sister) This is one of the two crazy projects I was secretly working on (only at a theorical level for now). The other will remain a secret, at least for now. But I will leave them in my todo list for now since we have to finish Cocoon2 before all that. > I still don't know where to find the local Cocoon search piece. Maybe DAML > or IBM.

Where I stayed
Ganga Bank Family Guesthouse
I am so disgusted by this train. The latrine is a hole in the floor of the train that you squat over. You can actually see the ground race by, blurs of the garbage that people throw out the window. There are no wastebaskets on this train. Where am I supposed to put my trash? I want my waste to go away. Where I can't see it. When I walk in the street with animals, I don't want to watch their filth become indistinguishable from human filth. I want to hide in a capsule of UV light and Purell to make me immaculate, sanitized and unaware of the filth that being a living animal inevitably creates
My sardonic smile fades. I am ashamed of my thoughts and feelings. I want them to be hidden too. But you cannot hide in India. There is no place to go.
This place is occupied by one sixth of the worlds population. You have a one in six chance of being born in India. People have been living here for a very long time. Civilization as we know it was born very close to here. There is 9000 year old evidence of human settlement in India. The antiquity of the culture here is palpable. You can taste it in the dust that fills your lungs. This place has worshiped the same gods for millenia. They have never converted or been absorbed by a new religion. The twenty percent of the population who are not Hindu practice their faith openly within sub-communities. Religion and prayer suffuse this landscape with an unearthly light that is exotic, intoxicating and at times almost eerie.
We are in Varanasi - the where city people come to attend India's most prestigious University, and where people come to die. It is one of the holiest places in India. In Varanasi, the Ganges River (called the Ganga by Indians) spreads her enormous banks wide and becomes placid, peaceful and fertile
The Ghats are home to the sewage pipes that lead directly from the maze of dwellings above directly into the river below. They are also the location of lively, colorful weddings, vendors selling delicious smelling food and a favorite place for men to urinate openly. This is the place you come to watch ash-covered Sadus (holy men) Oming the sun awake. This is the place to be captivated by the people performing their morning prayers and cleansing by immersing themselves in the holy Ganga, closing their beautiful eyes and pouring her waters over their heads, faces and into their mouths. This is the place to come to buy postcards from begging street children or to be led to silk factories to be parted from your money either by your awe of the incredible skill and beauty of the craft or by your guide who turns out to be a cut-purse. This is where you can watch the young men hold hands like sweethearts with a naturalness that makes you so sad that men in our culture would never think to do this.
But most importantly, the Ghats are where you come to bring your dying or deceased to ensure a swift entry into heaven by being burned in a pyre and having their ashes returned to their Mother Ganga
Welcome to India!!! Confronted by everything it means to be human, I gaze around this place with an already familiar mixture of dread and love, revulsion and deep satisfying fascination. We are staying with a lovely family in their home with a few other travelers from around the world. We trade music, dance, stories and culture. We drink the most delicious chai in the universe on the rooftop and venture daily to the Ghats to watch and wonder.
Several mornings ago, I awakened in the pre-dawn darkness to the arresting melodies of the Muslim call to prayer
My first life-changing gift from India came sweetly packaged in a shining cloud of music. How could I have ever doubted my faith in the importance of this universal language? The late morning brought us to the Mother Theresa Hospital with hesitant faces,a travel guitar and a mandolin. There are volunteers from all over the world working in this facility. We had met some of them in the guest house and played music together the night before. The volunteers range from young Japanese college students to retired French, German and Israeli professionals and nurses. Many of them come every year to this place. It is a hospital for the mentally ill and handicapped. Most of the patients have no family and none of them are well enough to live without 24 hour attention from medical staff.
The mutual affection between the patients and staff was apparent from the first moment we arrived. The patients with less severe autism could happily interact with the staff. But some just sat with blank faces and far away eyes. Some just stared ahead with tears rolling down their faces. I became suddenly shy and apprehensive. Why did I want to do this? No one is going to like listening to folk and bluegrass. They can't even understand what I am saying. How can I reach a person trapped in such severe sadness or distress?
We decided to play upbeat, happy music. From the first song, some patients began smiling and clapping along. There was one girl who was completely unresponsive as first. She just stared at me. Suddenly, it felt like if I could just make her smile, just once, then all of this sadness - the poverty, the starving dogs in the streets, the begging children - would become slightly more bearable. I played directly to her, trying to beam every ounce of love I have for music out of my eyes and throat. She came closer. And closer. She sat down at my feet and began rocking her head back and forth and smiling with closed eyes. I wanted to cry. In that moment every frustration and moment of self-doubt in my musical life became obsolete. If I never record another album, if nothing else ever happens with my music, it would be okay because I now know the true power of music -any music
We played the longest versions of bluegrass songs in the history of the universe. Who knew you could re-sing every verse of Wagon Wheel five times and people would still be dancing? We played until our fingers stiffened on the fret-boards and until my voice became hoarse with a combination of overuse and breathing burning trash and human flesh from the Ghats next door. Tim played and sang without his usual self-consciousness. We exchanged wondrous looks as the people formed circles around us and expressed their joy with abandon.
Second to playing for my student Whitney's funeral, this was the most magical musical experience of my life. I am so excited to do this again in many different cities in India. Mother Theresa set up approximately 30 of these facilites around the country and according to the volunteers, every one of these places is as beautiful as this one
Now picture this. Two French men teaching two Amercians how to make a Slavakian flute in India. Who would guess? But there were our hands, suddenly holding perfect peices of bamboo and hazelnut - carving, shaping, burning holes, glueing mouthpieces, laquering, wrapping colorful strings. We worked for hours and were rewarded with beautiful finished instruments by the end of the day. What luck!
To top it off, we got to see Elaynna and Rozzie (two of my guitar students from Ashland). It was so good to be able to speak english and relate everything we have experienced in India. We spent two evenings together talking about India's ability to exahust and then replenish, talking about home and what we missed, reveling in the familiarity of eachother and the surprising headiness of sharing a common culture without the need for explanation. We talked about the constant realization that every experience is what you make of it. If you can smile through the heartbreak of a place like India, the gifts will peek out from behind every dark dirty corner. If you choose to see only the sadness, you risk the permanent weight of a smothering blanket of cynicism or worse, apathy.
Welcome to India. Yes, I think I will take it - filth and all.
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
The way you describe India is sooo interesting to me. There is an extreme juxtaposition of something very ugly in your words but something very beautiful in your pictures. Your experience there, are these normal things that tourists do when they visit? Does everyone get to have tea with Mother Superior! Or is that only you and The Beatles? Crazy! Be safe.
