United Caribbean
Fast FactsAverage Rating: 4.6667Average Depth: 45 ft.Max Depth: 73 ft.Features: 13,11
The United Caribbean, a 150-foot coastal freighter, was known as the Golden Venture when she ran aground in 1993 just 200 yards off the New York coastline while carrying 228 Chinese illegal immigrants. Each immigrant had paid $30,000 to be smuggled into the United States. Ten of these immigrants jumped overboard in an attempt to save themselves but drowned trying to swim to shore. This event brought media attention to the smuggling ring that was behind this operation and they were brought to justice.
After the immigration troubles, she was used briefly as a cargo boat in the Caribbean and renamed "United Caribbean." When her owner was unable to pay the wages of its crew on the Florida to Haiti cargo run, the ship was left to rust in the Miami River. The Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resource Management rescued her and sunk her upright 73-feet down to create an artificial reef.
United Caribbean was scuttled near the wrecks Noula Express and Sea Emperor south of the Boca Raton Inlet and about a mile offshore. She lies slightly southeast of the Sea Emperor with a 500 foot trail of concrete debris creating a pathway between the two wrecks. The ship's profile is to about 45 feet. Much of the sea life from the Sea Emperor has branched off and inhabited this wreck as well. Divers have spotted jacks, yellowtail and barracudas.
The cargo area and upper decks of United Caribbean are good spots for beginning wreck divers to explore. A door leads into the lower decks. The lower areas should be explored only by advanced, experienced wreck divers.

Diggle Schools a done deal
Reporter: Ken Bennett
Date online: 09 April 2014
FINAL legal agreements have been signed to confirm a new Saddleworth School will be built in Diggle.
Relocating the school from Uppermill has been mired in controversy. Opponents argued it will devastate the village, but supporters welcomed the opportunity for a new school for the area.
Oldham Council today confirmed it has signed papers build the multi-million pound school at the former Shaw Pallet Works off Huddersfield Road.
The authority has been in negotiations to acquire the land, part of which involves exchanging the land on which the existing school stands. The option agreement now enables the council to complete the purchase over the coming months, following the granting of planning permission in the summer.
After that the council, the government's Education Funding Agency and the school authorities will draw up detailed plans for the works.
Councillor Amanda Chadderton, cabinet member for education, employment and skills, visited the site to discuss the plans with Saddleworth School headteacher Matthew Milburn.
She said: "We know some people in the local community have expressed concerns about the plans. It's now our challenge to come up with a scheme of associated works that can deliver the best possible solution on these matters — and we are passionate about succeeding in that task."
Full demolition of the pallet works isn't necessary but some parts of the upper storey will be removed to prevent the possibility of partial collapse.
I do look forward to seeing these best solutions the council comes up with for the scheme and associated works.
the figures for building and development never sacked up.
so what has changed? come on ombc. be clear to the residents and parents.
give them full costing breakdowns.
very interesting on the mention of demolition of the pallet works though? this isn't anything to do with the council for starters.
and structurally there very little wrong with the buildings.
so what going on there?
A little misleading in that the picture and the final paragraph infer that the school is planned to be built on the site of the pallet works. It is not. It is planned for the fields (some of them green belt) in between the canal and Huddersfield Road, next to the pallet works.
Also, I say 'planned' as there's no planning permission granted yet.
This was a "done deal" from the second it was considered.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded.
"Consultations" are a sham.
"complete the purchase over the coming months, following the granting of planning permission in the summer"
Well, it's good to know that permnission being granted isn't a foregone conclusion is it?
Oh... It is..
What a farce.
Remember the "planning permission conditions" on Waterhead academy? The traffic impact study that was never done, the contamination study that was never done.
Planning permission.. What a joke.
What the council want they get. Just look Foxdenton Development. Absolute disgrace. No doubt a deal for houses has been agreed for the old Saddleworth site.
I thought a done deal was when planning permission had been granted. There is a long way to go yet.
Great news that theres a new school going ahead but I cant help but feel like this is going to ruin 2 villages, Uppermill in the fact that all the local shops will suffer and the school plot as it is now will have nice affordable houses put on it thus bringing the riff raff in from miles around and turning a great village into a GHETTO, then there Diggle which will be a death trap for pedestrians with all the extra traffic going through it, its bad enough now!!!!
Looking forward to councillor Amanda Chadderton et al profusely apologising when this disaster in the making finally proves its critics right.
What a tragic decision for Diggle. There is very little left of the villages of Saddleworth as I remember them; so much of the land has been built on already. Enough is enough. The poor residents of Diggle must know it's going to be a nightmare getting in or out of the village when this school and the primary school are starting and ending and dread this plan going ahead. Who listened to them in all of this? Not the Council evidently.
Good. Now let's get on with it. Saddleworth kids deserve as good school facilities as the rest of the borough.
Nah it ain't a done deal is it. Very misleading headline.
So much for democracy as the only ones who wanted it are the ones who will make huge profits and not the majority of locals who have been ignored for not wanting it built.Should be fun watching all the school buses and parents cars trying to squeeze through the bottle neck at the village entrance .I suppose double yellow lines will be next leaving the villagers no where to park or a land grab (sorry,compulsory purchase order ) on the gardens to widen the road .Slow hand clap to Oldham Council?
I can guess who will get to build houses on the old site. Anyone who tries to turn into Huddersfield Rd from Wool Road will know how difficult it is to progress, as the residents are quite rightly parked outside their houses, and its in effect a single lane road. Can you imagine the chaos with buses and loads of cars trying to get in and out. The other roads are single track round there as well. It will be total gridlock every school day right down into Uppermill.
Finally, a decision has been made!
Maybe we can now talk about what the new school will be like, and the type of education the children of Saddleworth will receive.
we all know what the site in uppermill will be used for,it's a done deal and as been for ages !
Urm Mr Sutcliffe, when has new buildings ever made education better?
No matter if its a new building or not, its up to the individual to possess the skill, and if Oldham keeps upsetting people, then more will get together next time something tries to get through.
The council never listens to no one, as the cases with these,and just continues to do as it pleases,as its not being paid by themselves.
Oh great what a choice of site. Not only traffic chaos, but just to add to the fun there's a canal alongside! So we can expect, totally correctly, howls of indignation from the canal restoration people who have done a fantastic job, about the drink cans, crisp bags etc. that will be hurled in. When not polluting the canal in that way they will no doubt entertain themselves by hurling each other in. How long after opening to the first drowning?
Who on earth cares who builds houses on the old site?
If the council doesn't realise the best value for it for the common pot then it's failing in its duty to the community at large.
But that really is a trivial side issue to getting a new facility for Saddleworth kids.
I think the 'moaners' have it by 12 to 1 here. Some top level moaning, getting in all the key words that make up a first class moan.
Keep it up for my entertainment please...but guess what, you wont stop progress.
I've taught in a building built in 1834 and one built in 1968 and I'm Chair of Governors of one built in 2002 and I know which ones helped the teachers and children to perform best.
Fascinating how when the council has listened to the majority, the minority always think it hasn't listened at all.
Eddie, have those whose lives are going to be 'negatively' affected by this appalling decision, no right to express their points of view. Far from "moaning", this is legitimate concern.
Remember people. You have to agree with everything our glorious council leader decree's, otherwise you're a moaner.
Well we have known for months that the only site that the Education Funding Agency would accept as viable for the funding available was the Diggle site. Uppermill was not an option when they said this. We need a new school and we should now get one even if it's not an ideal site. If the selfish people stop it now we won't have a school at all very soon.
Why is raising intelligible issues and concerns to a planning proposal a moan?
Why is putting your point of view and feelings across a moan?
This is a democracy, right?
Why cannot we question "Progress" Without being attacked?
Eddie saying "guess what... you won't stop progress". This is EXACTLY why I question progress in the first place! Because it is big, and arrogant, and forceful, and short sighted, and narrow minded, and subsequently highly damaging.
Moaning or not the majority of people commenting are more wrapped up in what will happen to 'the villages' rather than how this will benefit the eduction of the children of Saddleworth and surrounding areas.
Anyone suggesting 'a new school doesn't mean the eduction will be any better' is a very narrow minded individual.
With having a new school comes new facilities as a whole and don't we all want what is the very best we can offer the children and not second best 'stuff'.
Just waiting for one of my favourite moaners on here to ask 'will it have a flat or pitched roof'?
@Owdamer - it works both ways. Just because people might support Council decisions on this school or Foxdenton or the new sports hall etc, then they shouldn't be subjected to abusive comments either.

Name of the blog:
Name: Daniel Gründel
Profession: Communication designer
Online since
Connox interviewed Stylesize:
What characterizes your blog? What are your themes and specialties?
With Artonom I have the eaim of presenting shapely, practical and functional design products and to make them accessible for a wider public. Thereby I mainly focus on home accessories, but also on electric items, fashion and design classics for my continuously growing collection. The existing hunger for new and interesting products is never quenched. As a reader of Artonom one will regularly have current articles about the most different design ideas and innovations, usually there are updates several times a week. Personally, I see the specialty in the correctness of focussing the functionality of products and their advantages. Artonom is a whole less interested in appearances, contrasting most of the Lifestyle & Design Blogs, but it is more design oriented than most of the technique and gear blogs. Artonom is the bridge between both. Moreover, Artonom continuously presents designs that are affordable to most of the people. The economic factor of a product is also important here.
Who is your blog directed to? Who do you want to reach with it?
The blog is directed to design enthusiasts, but also to normal, technique-interested people that like to possess great functionality. I am happy if housekeepers like what I post. It is about liking design and attracting those that thereby thought of expensive and exotic products.
There are uncountable novelties by designers, brands, new products, etc. How and according to which criteria do you select themes for your blog out of this grand pool of information?
The blog works with brands and designers independently. Artonom also wrote about products by Vitra, Artemide, Flos or Seletti and doesn't fear to name the according designer. But what makes it special is the product's functionality, not the praising of a name.
Artonom researches all over the world in blogs and shops. If the product is new and innovative, is it then capable of more than competitors? Or is it a product, which has proven itself on the marked since many years already? Then it will enter the blog no matter what a name ornaments it. If the relevant idea existed before or if it has already been imitated several times, then the product isn't adapted to be presented on Artonom.
What are your sources for new themes? Do you often search for them or do people contact you?
Artonom is online since one year when this is published. That's the reason whay I am always depending on resaearching sources and products on my own. The ideal case would be if some innovations were given to me. It is difficult to keep my eyes everywhere. The source for new themes is the internet in general temrs, this means shops, blogs and news websites all over the worls. What is the world talking about? What's trendy?
Do you read some other blogs about design? What blogs do you find especially succeeded regarding their appearance and content?
Those that want to remain up-to-date regarding technique and gimmicks, should read www.coolmaterial.com or www.blessthisstuff.com. If what one searches is fashion and style, then I suggest www.hypebeast.com . On Facebook, I like Art & Design.
Is the blog a hobby of yours or do you even run it professionally? If not: do you regularly contact the design universe in your job and how do you connect both things?
I work as communication designer and I am also occupied with the internet as a medium therefore. That made the step to found an own blog an easy one, since it connects it all a little. Unfortunately, the blog is only a hobby of mine. I said "unfortunately" because the duty is far too interesting as to only work it in my few leisure hours. Maybe it becomes more someday.
If you find an interesting theme, you will have to work through it, write an article and provide the whole thing with images. How much time do you invest in your blog every day? Do you limit yourself according to "not more than X posts a day"?
I try to limit what I do and publish a maximum of 2 posts every day, in order to balance the days I am a little less productive where there is nothing to say for me. Moreover, I prefer to research a little longer before I present a product that fascinates me. I think it all takes about 1 – 1.5 hours every day, sans the research.
What fascinates you from home design and design as a general concept?
I find it interesting when design improves common things, sometimes with the most simple approaches or also to have some exceptional innovations in my hands. Those are the moments there is a "click" in my head and I think "Hey, how clever this is!", or I realize "I have never seen something like this before!". The holistic experience of a product: watch it, touch it and try it. This makes all of it fascinating.
If you work this much with design, there are surely some sympathies. Are there design brands that you especially like and can you explain why?
I like home design ideas from Black&Blum, Droog, Suck Uk, since they are cheeky, charming, often very innovative and economic at the same time. I am sure that there will be more to come. I basically like Scandinavian design. For example design by Design House Stockholm or Normann Copenhagen. Sometimes one thinks that the winter is dark for too long there as for the people to concentrate on something different than good design and that the good quality comes from that.
Do you have a favourite designer? What do you like the most at him / her and the creations?
Well as car-fan I say: Design by Gioretto Giugiaro – maybe the most successful designer of our times – regarded in general terms. More personalities would be le Corbusier, Oskar Niemeyer, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe or Marcel Breuer. Bauhaus!
What products impressed you lately?
There is an all-including shelving system made by Seletti, which is transformable into a cube when it is not needed or when you must move. It is a wonderful piece of furniture. The new Tesla Model S, as maybe first electric car that might achieve much more than the 400km sound barrier regarding its reach, being absolutely adapted to be used in our everyday lives. It left this permanent impression. Both of them are naturally completely different things.
Which products do you already have in your flat? What convinces you as private person and not so much as blogger regarding products?
I am absolutely astonished by my La Pavoni Europiccola espresso machine. A design out of the 60s which is still produced with hardly any changes, since there is nothing to improve about it. And you can taste the quality. The machine will definitely get a feature in my blog soon…

By Robert Horton Herald Movie Critic
"Beyond the Hills" takes us to a remote — in every sense — monastery in Romania, a place where the trappings of the 21st century are visible, but not dominant. The movie is a fictionalized version of an event that happened recently at just such a monastery.
The incident begins with the arrival of Alina (Cristina Flutur), who has been working as a maid in Germany to make money. She is reuniting with Voichita (Cosmina Stratan), a devout nun at the monastery.
The film implies that after they grew up together in an orphanage, the two women became lovers. But Voichita has now given herself completely and sincerely to God, much to Alina's frustration and eventual irrational fury.
This simmering tension causes worried clucking amongst the other nuns, as well as the priest who presides over their very orthodox order. At a certain point Alina's uncontrollable responses are interpreted as something supernatural, and the movie shifts into the realm of modern exorcism.
But in no way is "Beyond the Hills" a horror film. Director Cristian Mingiu, whose "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days" was a riveting and award-winning international success, takes a studied, unhurried look at this uncomfortable subject.
Because Mingiu's style is so hands-off (he's not going to tell you what you're supposed to feel about all this), the movie can be interpreted in a variety of ways. Is it critical of the superstitions of religion, of the cold efficiency of the medical establishment, of bureaucracy that exists at every level?
Perhaps all of them, but Mingiu's even-handed approach doesn't give you the Oliver Stone-style haranguing that might make the film easier to watch. It may be that instead of social criticism, Mingiu is depicting the inability of people to listen to each other, a failing that happens in scene after scene.
At 150 minutes, the movie is not exactly a breeze, although the rhythm of it becomes almost hypnotizing after a while. It helps that the people on screen are so interesting to look at, even the nuns in their full habits; Stratan is especially compelling, with her utter simplicity and her true-believer's unblinking gaze.
Nobody's evil and nobody's a villain, and everything turns out wrong anyway. This skeptical vision leads to a final shot that is enigmatic, yet somehow seems to say it all.
"Beyond the Hills" 3 stars
Two formerly intimate friends reunite at a remote monastery, where one of them has become a devout nun. This simmering tension leads to a troubling series of mistakes, in Cristian Mingiu's slow but mostly hypnotizing study of a world in which there is no actual evil, but where nothing works well regardless. In Romanian, with English subtitles.
Rated: Not rated; probably R for nudity, subject matter.
Showing: Seven Gables.

Project DescriptionWhen Rounthwaite Dick and Hadley Architects (RDH) and David Premi Architects (dp.Ai) took on the renovation of and addition to the uniquely conjoined Hamilton Farmers Market and Central Public Library, in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, they had the task of creating a dialogue between two very different and seemingly unrelated public spaces. The farmers market has been operational on the downtown site for 150 years, but the two typologies have been sharing their awkward fate since 1980, when a new building went up and the library moved in.
"The building itself was challenging to work with," says Tyler Sharp, an associate at RDH and the project designer. "It was a mass of dilapidated Neo-Brutalist concrete that offered little opportunity for structural modification." His solution was to strip the building back to its skeleton, and clean, restore, and polish the surface of the original structure so that existing floor slabs and air ducts became functional aesthetic features. A new LED-lit glass façade joins the library and the market with a common skin; the social programs of each entity can now operate in dialogue with one another.
Occupying the northeastern end of the building, the split-level farmers market sprawls simultaneously downward to a lower level and upward to the slightly elevated ground floor. The architects rearranged the stalls, and added a glass elevator, glass stairs, and a continuous retractable glass vestibule (with street-level cafés and food stalls that invite the outside in).
The ground floor of the public library floats above the market and is separated by a glass partition, which is a fire-rated partition that blocks market noise while allowing views to the street and cityscape beyond. "The resulting open space elevates the people and the material in all sectors; they provide the color in the program like in an art gallery or a museum," says chief librarian Ken Roberts.
"Functionally, the openness and visibility of the plan makes it a unique and expressive environment that is highly legible to the user," David Premi, partner at dp.Ai, says. "Very minimal signage and wayfinding is required for visitors to remain oriented."
The new glass façade—an energy-efficient double-glazed envelope that stretches the length of a city block—reflects the overarching aim of combining two typologies and inner and outer urban spheres in a single contemporary building. At street level, the low-iron, ultra-clear glass zeroes out so that the interior floor meets the exterior sidewalk in seamless transition. Color-changing LED fixtures programmed with a predetermined display pattern are integrated into the curtainwall system; the light moves in a slow pulse that mimics the indicator light on a sleeping MacBook. While the farmers market is rife with the colors of food, flowers, and shoppers, the ground floor of the library is alive with technophiles, and the films and artworks projected onto three holographic-filmed glass walls are visible from outside at night. The overall effect "feels like walking through an iPod Touch. It reflects the Apple lifestyle," says Roberts.
Technology looms large in the library, where a radio frequency identification system of self-check-in and -checkout obviates the need for traditional check-in desks; after being returned, books and other materials proceed via a conveyor belt down a glassed-in ramp and into the basement where they are sorted into bins. A new efficient no-software computer system has allowed the library to increase ground-floor computer terminals to 50, filling the space with a high-tech hum.
The heaviness of the concrete ceiling, walls, and floor is diminished by their polished finish and by a dimmable indirect lighting system that harvests daylight and reflected light. Elements such as a fireplace in the information commons and an aquarium in the children's section—which boasts a recycled rubber floor and custom canary-yellow chairs—create an inviting living-room-like feel. All of this has helped increase circulation twofold. "People stop and talk, people stay all day," Roberts says, delighted. "People say 'I'll meet you at the library.' "

Latest question:
How do you think the new GigE standards will influence the machine vision industry?
Respond or ask your question now!
Thermoteknix has raised the bar to new heights in launching the world�s first Alpha Silicon based Focal Plane Array thermal imaging camera with shutterless XTi technology. The MIRICLE� 110KS with XTi is an ultra-compact uncooled (unstabilized) solid-state high resolution infrared camera delivering "Never Blind�" thermal imaging. The camera is designed without a shutter or any moving parts to interrupt vision at critical moments and is unaffected by shock or vibration.
MIRICLE is a thermal infrared imaging system ideally suited for military and security applications. Thermal imaging relies purely on the detection of heat and is entirely different to low light cameras which require a certain level of illumination in order to function. Thermal Imaging offers night vision in both low light as well as in complete darkness, through smoke and fog.
Built in the smallest footprint, MIRICLE cores and engines offer a range of microbolometer detectors in common electronic packages incorporating the very latest micro-electronics and power efficient management. Thermoteknix MIRICLE infrared cores and engines provide the OEM builder with high performance thermal imaging in highly compact, lightweight, low power, rugged, modular designs. Powerful embedded software, a choice of analog video and digital video and accessories put MIRICLE camera engines ahead of the field. Available in "sandwich" or "flexi" formats as cores (electronics and detector package) or engines (electronics, detector, shutter, lens), MIRICLE OEM cameras provide the camera developer with flexible configurations to tailor mechanical and electronic integration on a single platform.Thermoteknix Systems Ltd Waterbeach, Cambridge UK www.thermoteknix.com

Jena, Nov. 7th.
Dear Roger,—You left on Tuesday night—that's yesterday—and you'll get to London on Thursday morning—that's to-morrow—and first you'll want to wash yourself, and have breakfast—please notice my extreme reasonableness—and it will be about eleven before you are able to begin to write to me. I shan't get the letter till Saturday, and today is only Wednesday, so how can I stop myself from writing to you again, I should like to know? I simply can't. Besides, I want to tell you all the heaps of important things I would have told you yesterday, if there had been time when you asked me in that amazing sudden way if I'd marry you.
Do you know I'm poor? Of course you do. You couldn't have lived with us a year and not seen by the very sort of puddings we have that we are poor. Do you think that anybody who can help it would have dicker Reis three times a week? And then if we were not, my step-mother would never bother to take in English young men who want to study German; she would do quite different sorts of things, and we should have different sorts of puddings,—proud ones, with Schlagsahne on their tops—and two servants instead of one, and I would never have met you. Well, you know then that we are poor; but I don't believe you know how poor. When girls here marry, their parents give them, as a matter-of-course, house-linen enough to last them all their lives, furniture enough to furnish all their house, clothes enough for several generations, and so much a year besides. Then, greatly impoverished, they spend the evenings of their days doing without things and congratulating themselves on having married off their daughter. The man need give only himself.
You've heard that my own mother, who died ten years ago, was English? Yes, I remember I told you that, when you were so much surprised at what you called, in politest German, my colossally good English. From her I know that people in England do not buy their son-in-law's carpets and saucepans, but confine their helpfulness to suggesting Maple. It is the husband, they think, who should, like the storks of the Fatherland, prepare and beautify the nest for the wife. If the girl has money, so much the better; but if she has not, said my mother, it doesn't put an absolute stop to her marrying.
Here, it does; and I belong here. My mother had some money, or my father would never have let himself fall in love with her—I believe you can nip these things in the bud if you see the bud in time—and you know my father is not a mercenary man; he only, like the rest of us, could not get away altogether from his bringing-up and the points of view he had been made to stare from ever since he stared at all. It was a hundred a year (pounds, thank heaven, not marks), and it is all we have except what he gets for his books, when he does get anything, which is never, and what my step-mother has, which is an annuity of a hundred and fifty pounds. So the hundred a year will be the whole sum of my riches, for I have no aunts. What I want you to consider is the awfulness of marrying a woman absolutely without saucepans. Not a single towel will she be able to add to your linen-room, not a single pot to your kitchen. All Jena when it hears of it will say, 'Poor, infatuated young man,' and if I had sisters all England would refuse in future to send its sons to my step-mother. Why, if you were making a decently suitable marriage do you suppose your Braut would have to leave off writing to you at this point, in the very middle of luminous prophecy, and hurry into the kitchen and immerse herself in the preparation of potato soup? Yet that is exactly what your Braut, who has caught sight of the clock, is about to do. So good-by.
Your poor, but infinitely honest,
See how wise and practical I am today. I believe my letter last night was rather aflame. Now comes morning with its pails of cold water, and drenches me back into discretion. Thank God, say I, for mornings.
Sorry, no summary available yet.

NEW YORK: Brooklyn Nets centre Jason Collins, the NBA's first openly gay player, says he has been the subject of taunts from only one opponent in the month since his groundbreaking debut.
The 35-year-old 7-footer (2.13m) has played in the NBA since 2001 but revealed after last season that he was homosexual. He remained unsigned until the Nets, with whom he twice reached the NBA Finals, signed him last month.
While he has received standing ovations and his jersey is the top seller on the NBA's website, the reaction to his revelation has not been unanimously supportive.
"One player. One knucklehead from another team," Collins told the New York Daily News. "He's a knucklehead. So I just let it go."
Collins said he didn't respond to the slur.
"That goes back to controlling what you can control," Collins said. "That's how I conduct myself, just being professional.
"You can't control what other people are going to do."
Collins would not reveal the identity of the player who insulted him or his team.
"There's no need to even engage in a conversation with him at that point," Collins told ESPN.
"You would hope that if someone has a negative opinion they would keep it to themselves but at the same time I understand that in the NBA we're a bunch of individuals and this is America and everyone is entitled to their opinion."
The Nets, 10-3 since signing Collins, are 35-31 overall and fifth overall in the Eastern Conference.
The acclaim that surrounded Collins in his first few games has died down to the point where he dismisses any idea of being a distraction to the team.
"This shows that 'distraction' is BS," Collins said. "I hope this shows all players that you can still have your life on the court and not have to hide anything.
"That's a credit to my teammates and the entire Nets organisation."

I get this a lot: People approach me at conferences and ask about the hottest cloud skills. Why? Because they want to learn more, declare their expertise, and get a new and higher-paying gig. I can't blame them.
In the past, it was enough to understand the differences among SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS, but now companies are looking for very specific cloud skills. As their needs grow more specialized, qualified candidates are harder to find, so salaries go up and large signing bonuses are common.
What will be hot in 2016? Here are the three hottest cloud job skills I see:
1. Container developers and architects
Containers are hot, and if you have Docker, Rocket, Mesos, or Kubernetes skills you're in high demand. Containers are an approach to distributed development, as well as being an architecture pattern. If you that understand service-oriented development, you will have an easy time transitioning to containers.
Containers are open source technology. Thus, you can get started with this technology for little or no money. Moreover, most cloud providers -- including Google, Microsoft, and Amazon Web Services -- provide containers as a service. If you're a developer, you should be giving containers a try; you may find that containers contain a larger paycheck.
2. Cloud data scientists
Cloud have made big data systems much more affordable, so the demand for those that understand both data analytics and cloud-based data storage systems is very high. This demand also related to predictive analytics, machine learning, and the Internet of things, all of which are all cloud-based and have data analytics components.
3. Cloud-based devops experts
Devops is the ultimate automation of the development process, and typically cloud platforms are the endpoints. This combining of development and operations in the cloud is creating a high demand for those who understand all of these worlds and are able to keep up with the changing technology.
There are other emerging technologies to look at, of course, and they need skilled people to help companies move to this technology. If my three picks don't pique your interest, you should be able to find other areas. Always keep your eye on emerging trends and learn how to jump on the bandwagon the direction that appeals to you.

text: Posted February 5, 2009 So few months ago my xbox 360 saw the red rings of death...and I think I'm about ready to go ahead and replace it. All I need is the console...nothing else (chords/adapters or controllers). I'm in the price range of $100. Think that's enough to be able to get a decent Xbox 360 console?

Alfaro adding nuances to his game
Rangers backstop collects three more hits in Fall League play
By Ashley Marshall / MiLB.com | November 12, 2013 2:13 PM ET
Jorge Alfaro started to developed a reputation as a power hitter this season. Now he's proving he has some finesse to accompany the thunder.
Texas' top prospect went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI as the host Surprise Saguaros beat the Scottsdale Scorpions, 9-7, in the Arizona Fall League on Tuesday.
The outing extended the catcher's hitting streak to five games, gave him his ninth multi-hit performance in 18 contests and lifted his batting average to a league-best .409.
"There are some pretty good hitters here, so [I'm] learning pitch sequences," Alfaro said through translator Noe Ramirez. "The biggest thing [I'm] learning is how to call a game, getting to know each pitcher."
The native of Colombia grounded out in the first inning and singled to left field to load the bases in the fourth. He smacked an RBI double in a four-run fifth and he singled the other way to right to begin the seventh.
"I'm simply seeing the ball and wherever I see it, I'm going with it," said Alfaro, who also made a throwing error, got picked off and was caught stealing. "And that's something that's been working pretty well."
The 20-year-old batted .265 across three Minor League levels this year, primarily with the Class A Hickory Crawdads of the South Atlantic League. MLB.com's No. 55 prospect slugged 18 homers, recorded 61 RBIs and swiped 18 bases in 21 attempts.
Signed by the Rangers as a non-drafted free agent in 2010, Alfaro -- who ranks fourth with a .461 on-base percentage and tied for fourth with 18 runs scored -- was a Futures Game selection and South Atlantic League midseason All-Star this season.
"He has a lot of tools, and the Texas Rangers are very lucky to have him," Saguaros manager Gary Kendall said. "He's a very talented guy that has great arm strength, good blocking skills, he's smart, he's alert, he has agility -- and that's just talking defensively. Offensively, the guy moves well around the bases, he's got power to all fields and he's got baseball sense."
On Tuesday, Surprise first baseman Travis Shaw (Red Sox) was 3-for-4 with two RBIs and a pair of runs scored, Ryan Rua (Rangers) slugged a grand slam and Mitch Haniger (Brewers) and Indians infielder Joe Wendle chipped in two hits and two runs apiece.
Texas farmhand Lisalverto Bonilla (1-0) allowed one hit over two innings of relief. Starter Taylor Jungmann (Brewers) yielded four runs on two hits and four walks while striking out two batters over two innings.
Scottsdale designated hitter Kyle Kubitza (Braves) went 3-for-4 and Mets prospect Cory Vaughn and Atlanta outfielder Robby Hefflinger both collected two hits and scored twice.
Pittsburgh's Tyler Waldron (1-2) surrendered four runs -- three earned -- on four hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning. Fellow Bucs right-hander Phil Irwin allowed five runs on six hits and a walk while fanning three batters over the first four innings.
