Question: I would love some scoop on Caroline! She's my favorite character on The Vampire Diaries! —Amy

Governor Nyesom Wike and the Minister of Transport, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, locked horns on Sunday, as the Rivers State governor pointed fingers at the minister as the mastermind of the sudden disappearance of the collation officer for the legislative rerun at the Ward 10, Port Harcourt Local Government Area, on Saturday.
The governor also alleged that the acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Mrs Ibim Semenitari and the Director-General of NIMASA, Dr Dakuku Peterside, aided Amaechi in abducting the electoral officer.
Amaechi, through the NDDC acting Managing Director, also fired back at Governor Wike, saying that both the governor and his media aides were only trying to distort the facts of what really happened.
The collation officer, Mrs Ekwi Adebisa, was said to have left her job inconclusive and suddenly disappeared, only to surface at the Mile 1 Divisional Police Headquarters, Port Harcourt, on Sunday morning.
The sudden disappearance of the INEC collation officer led to the suspension of the collation of result of the election in the constituency.
Following her dramatic appearance, Governor Wike also came to the police station, along with some chieftains of the state Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Those seen on the governor's entourage included a former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, Honourable Austin Opara; Senator Sekibo George, among others.
Moment later, the Minister of Transport also came into view, accompanied by the Director-General of NIMASA, Dr Peterside; state chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Davies Ikanya and the acting Managing Director of NDDC, Mrs Ibim Semenitari.
While the details of what transpired was not known, the meeting of the political bigwigs in the state was said to have almost degenerated into a clash between the governor and his predecessor.
Governor Wike, in a statement issued later by his media aide, Mr Simeon Nwakaudu, alleged that Mrs Adebisa was abducted on Saturday night by former Governor Amaechi, aided by about 100 soldiers.
"She was first taken to Novotel Hotel where Amaechi and Peterside were lodged and results doctored. In the morning of Sunday, she was placed on protective custody by Amaechi, Peterside and Semenitari," the statement read.
The governor said he and some leaders of the PDP got wind of the fact that the collation officer had been placed in a protective custody, hence he (Wike) visited the Mile 1 police station for explanation.
"Immediately Governor Wike and the PDP leaders arrived at the station, more than 400 soldiers stormed the station, alongside the Minister of Transport and the NIMASA Director General, Peterside and directed that Mrs Ekwi Adebisa be released to them.
"Amaechi, Peterside and Semenitari and the AIG left with the ward collation officer, Mrs Ekwi Adebisa," the statement added.
Reacting, however, the NDDC acting Managing Director said the state government and its image managers were only trying to distort the facts of the incident that took place at the Mile 1 police divisional headquarters.
In a separate statement signed and issued by her media aide, Mr Bekee Anyalewechi and made available to newsmen, she said "…Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, in company with a retinue of aides, invaded the police station, held the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) collation officer for Port Harcourt Ward 10, Mrs Ekwi Adebisa, hostage.
"Whereas it is not in our style to join issues with any tier of government, it is imperative that we state the facts because of the need to safeguard our electoral process and strengthen the confidence of our people in their leaders.
"Mrs Adebisa, the Port Harcourt City ward 10 collation officer for the March 19 legislative election in Rivers State was moved by force to the police station. The result she had collated was separated from her.
"While at the police station, agents of the Rivers State government brought her under duress to write a statement that she had been abducted and made to falsify the ward result by agents of the APC.
"That they forced her to the police station and kept under traumatic condition was, in itself, criminal. But that they had forced the result she had lawfully collated out of her custody was more criminal.
"Governor Wike had arrived the police station accompanied by Senator George Sekibo, Mr Austin Opara and Azubuike Nmerukini, as well as other aides of the governor.
"As a leader in APC, Mrs Ibim Semenitari, being in attendance at the meeting, was among those delegated to go and see what the actual development was. When Semenitari and others arrived the police facility, they confirmed the report," the statement read.
The NDDC acting Managing Director said she was shocked by the statement issued by the governor's media aide, adding that as a responsible citizen and public officer, she could not have engaged in any conduct unbecoming of her status.
When contacted, spokesperson of the state police command, Ahmad Muhammad, confirmed that the INEC collation officer actually was at the Mile 1 police station but had been taken to the police headquarters for further investigations into her sudden disappearance on Saturday evening.
In a related development, the state government has demanded the unconditional release of the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Chief Kenneth Kobani and the Special Adviser to the Governor on Special Projects, Mr Cyril Wite.
Kobani and Wite, arrested by soldiers during the rerun on Saturday, were separately accused of disrupting the electoral process and moving about with security uniform during the exercise, respectively.
However, the state Commissioner for Information, Dr Austin Tam-George, in a statement issued in Port Harcourt, on Sunday, said the duo were arrested and detained on the election day by the Nigerian military, simply for being members of PDP.
"Their fate is the same with thousands of PDP supporters who were brutalised, arrested, shot at, and even killed by the military and thugs of the APC during the rerun on Saturday," the statement read.
They have federal might, we have the people —Wike
Governor Wike, however, said the rerun in the state had shown clearly who is on ground and who is accepted by the people.
He said the reruns had proved that the control of INEC, federal might, military, police and other security agencies could not translate to electoral victories, as the people would always resist agents of rigging.
Governor Wike also accused Peterside of hijacking results from Isiokpo in Ikwere Local Goernment Area of the state on Sunday.
In an interactive session with newsmen on Sunday, Governor Wike alleged that most military men deployed for the elections were used by APC leaders to hijack materials, illegally arrest PDP members and manipulate the process.
He insisted that INEC was not prepared for the election in terms of logistics and planning.
APC, PDP in counter claim over alleged attack on Peterside outside DSS office
There were heavy shootings outside the office of the Department of State Security (DSS), Port Harcourt, on Sunday evening.
While the details of the shooting and the mastermind(s) could not be ascertained as of the time of writing the report, the place was full of heavy security presence, shortly after the shootout.
However, Governor Wike, while confirming the incident, said an aide of his Chief of Staff, Emeka Woke, lost his life in the shootout.
Speaking with newsmen after the incident, the governor blamed it on what he said was the desperation of some politicians, noting that such was not in the interest of the state.
He further alleged that the perpetrators hatched the plan in Isiokpo and intended to execute it at the state headquarters of INEC, on Aba Expressway, Port Harcourt.
"I detailed my Chief of Staff to be following them. But, when they reached the INEC office, they drove past. I told my Chief of Staff to continue to follow them. They continued up to UTC Junction where they started shooting.
"I called the Brigade Commander thrice about when I heard of the plan, that they (gunmen) were pursuing INEC staff to snatch result sheets," he said.
However, the Director-General of NIMASA, Dr Peterside, claimed that he and some APC chieftains in the state were the target of the shooting.
He further alleged that two SUVs, belonging to the Chief of Staff, carried two unknown gunmen who trailed him, Rivers APC chairman, Dr Davies Ikanya and Honourable H. O. Asita to the UTC Junction and opened fire on them.
"The car carrying me did a detour to the DSS office in Port Harcourt. At the DSS office gate, where I drove to seek refuge, the unknown gunmen opened fire again at the SSS men.
"The exchange of fire between DSS and the assailants lasted for more than 30 minutes. My orderly, Emma Esi, was shot by the unknown gunmen," Peterside said in a sms he sent to the Nigerian Tribune.
Why SSG was arrested —Army •4 died, we made 24 arrests —Police
The Nigerian Army has explained that the Rivers SSG, Chief Kenneth Kobani, was arrested because he was allegedly disrupting the legislative rerun held in the state on Saturday.
Commander of 2 Brigade, Nigerian Army, Bori Camp, Port Harcourt, Brigadier-General Stephenson Olabanji, made the clarrification while speaking with newsmen at the state police headquarters, Port Harcourt, on Sunday.
This was as the Nigerian Police confirmed that no fewer than 24 persons were arrested from different parts of the state for alleged various criminal and electoral offenses during the exercise.
Assistant Inspector-General of Police in-charge of Zone 6, Mr Baba Adisa Bolanta, made the confirmation, adding that those arrested, 22 males and two females, were currently undergoing interrogation at the State Criminal Investigations Department (SCID), Port Harcourt.
The state police image-maker, Ahmad Muhammad, had also, on Saturday, faulted the number of people killed, as he said he was only aware of one person.
Speaking further, General Olabanji said the law of the country was no respecter of anybody, irrespective of his or her position in the society.
"Many people were arrested yesterday (Saturday) for disrupting the electoral process and the law is not meant for just the lower cadre alone.
"No matter who you are, if you go against the law, you will definitely face the music. There is nothing like being Secretary to the State Government. Many people were arrested, as you have been told; a lot of people were arrested," he said.
He, however, denied the claim by the state government and the PDP that some of its commissioners and other top officials were manhandled by soldiers during the rerun.
"If you say arrest, we can say yes. But there was nothing like manhandling. We are meant to protect civilians, not to manhandle them," he explained.
In the same vein, Bolanta dispelled reported death of about six people in the rerun, claiming that only four persons were killed in three local government areas in the state.
According to him, two persons were killed at Buguma, in Asari-Toru Local Government Area, while two others were killed at Nonwa-Tai and Omuanwa communities, in Tai and Ikwerre local government areas, respectively.
"It is pertinent I let you know that we have 24 suspects, comprising 22 males and two females in police custody, who were arrested from different parts of the state.
"They are presently undergoing interrogation on allegations of criminal or electoral offences or both.
"I am startled this morning after seeing outrageous figure of deaths associated with the elections as dished out by the media. To put the records straight, four deaths were recorded with two in Buguma, while Nonwa-Tai and Omuanwa each recorded one," he said.
INEC suspends election in 2 more LGs
Meanwhile, the state Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Mr Aniedi Ikoiwak, has announced that the legislative rerun held in Etche and Asari-Toru local government areas, on Saturday, had been cancelled.
This brought to eight the number of local government areas which election had been suspended as the REC had, on Saturday, disclosed the suspension of the exercise in six others – Bonny, Khana, Andoni, Gokana, Tai and Eleme, due to reported violence.
Meanwhile, no date has been fixed for the rerun in the affected eight local government areas, as Rivers INEC is currently auditing the personnel and materials deployed for the exercise on Saturday.
Rivers INEC, in a statement issued on Sunday, said it would, after the auditing exercise, meet with critical stakeholders before a new date

Thanks to everyone for the great reviews on the last chapter!
I'm so sorry that this update has taken so long. My life has been pretty crazy lately.
I am very seriously considering not watching season 9, not because of what happened to Lexie, but because the show is no longer the Grey's I feel in love with.
I don't own anything!
November 15, 2013
"Mark, I have to go." Lexie said, kissing her husband. They were in the on call room having "personal time." It was harder to come by now that Sofia was very much in the middle of her terrible twos. She had also recently figured out how to open doors, even child-proofed ones.
"No," Mark whined, pulling his wife's body closer to his.
"Mark," Lexie giggled, pulling away as her pager went off." I. Have. To. Go. Save. Lives." She said, kissing him between every word.
"Save my life," Mark whined, kissing her again.
Lexie's pager went off again.
"Fine, go." Mark groaned.
Lexie rolled off of him. She picked her lab coat off of the floor and put it on.
"Love you," She kissed him. "Try to be home by seven, okay? There's something I want to talk to you about." Lexie said with a grin before leaving the room.
After she left, Mark sat up and picked his scrub top off of the floor. As he put it back on, his pager went off.
Later that morning, Lexie was walking down the hallway in the lobby. For the past couple hours, she and Derek have been working on a pretty serious brain trauma. She had started to feel kind of sick so she had run to get a bottle of water.
She noticed that the lobby was empty.
As she walked past a supply closet, someone clamped a hand over her mouth and pulled her in.
She turned around to find herself face to face with Derek, Meredith, and Jackson.
"What's going on?" She asked them.
"There's a shooter in the hospital," Derek said gravely, looking at her.
"You're kidding, right? This can't be happening again," Lexie said, but looking around, she could tell that it was true.
"Do we know who it is? Where's Mark? Oh, God, what about the daycare?" She asked anxiously.
Derek and Meredith exchanged a glance before looking back at Jackson.
"It's Nick Little," Jackson said softly. "When Mark saw him, he ran off before I could stop him."
"I have to go," Lexie tried to turn, but Derek pulled her back.
"It's too dangerous, Lexie," Meredith said, softly, looking at her little sister.
"His daughter died on Mark's operating table. He wants to take something from Mark, I know it. I have to be his eye for an eye, not Sofia."
"Lex, the police are coming." Jackson said, trying to calm her down.
"They're not going to do anything! They never do! They sure as hell didn't last time! None of you understand how I feel right now! You guys are together, Zola's at home with a cold, and April's watching her! The two people who mean more to me than anything in the world are out there with a crazy man who wants to hurt them. I can't lose them. Meredith, please," Lexie pleaded with her sister, "You went after Derek, let me go after my family."
"She's right, I went after you. You know it's what we would do if it was Zola." Meredith nodded, gently removing Derek's hand from Lexie's arm.
"Fine, but we're going with you." Derek said sternly, always the over protective brother-in-law.
Lexie nodded and they took off towards the daycare. Her legs felt numb. She had no idea what they would find. Callie and Arizona weren't even there, they had gone off on the honeymoon they never got. She couldn't imagine having to call them and tell them what happened.
Meredith wrapped her hand around Lexie's shaking one. "It'll be okay," She reassured her sister.
Lexie didn't respond, she simply nodded. She tried to remember this morning. Had she told Sofia she loved her? Had she held her close? Would her morning with Mark in the on call room be her last? Would it be the last time she ever held him close? Felt his lips against her? Felt safe in his arms?
After what seemed like an eternity of walking, they were outside of the daycare.
Lexie could hear screaming and children crying.
"I have to go in there," She insisted, trying to pull away from Meredith's hand.
"You don't know what you're walking into, you could just make things worse." Derek said softly.
"Mark is my husband! We survived a goddamn plane crash. We're supposed to have more kids, give Sofia siblings, two brothers and a sister. We're supposed to be happy. We're meant to be." Tears began to form in Lexie's eyes.
Meredith let her go and she started to walk towards the day care.
A gun shot suddenly ran out.
"Oh, God!" Lexie sobbed, falling to the floor. She tried to get back up, but she felt frozen. She couldn't move. She could faintly feel Meredith wrap her arms around her and she sobbed.
Derek and Jackson ran towards the day care.
She heard another shot.
"NO!" She screamed. "No, no, no!"
She could hear footsteps and looked up. Derek and Jackson walked forward. Derek had Sofia in his arms and Jackson was calling 911. Sofia was screaming her head off.
"She's okay, her arm got grazed by a bullet. Mr. Little killed himself."
Lexie nodded. "Where's Mark?" She asked anxiously.
"Hey, Lex," Mark said softly, walking out of the day care.
Lexie ran forward and wrapped her arms around him. Mark held her close, cradling her and she sobbed.
"If something had happened to you, I…"
"I'm okay, we're okay," He said, kissing the top of her head.
"How's Sofia? Mark asked, looking up.
"She'll be fine," Derek said with a smile. "Just a little boo boo. Right, Sof?" Derek asked, bouncing the toddler. She had stopped crying and had begun to hiccup. Meredith was holding some tissues over her wound to stop the bleeding.
Lexie looked up at Mark with tears in her eyes.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Mark asked her.
Lexie nodded shakily. "I wanted to wait until tonight, but I have a feeling we could both use some good news right now. I'm pregnant, Mark. We're having a baby." She grinned, her eyes were still full of tears, but joy sprung across her tear-stained face.
Mark smiled. "I love you so much." He whispered, pulling her close to him.

For every inane Facebook post or Twitter rant that goes nowhere from a nobody, social media find salvation in all the things it does right.
The positives when it comes to social media as a whole often get overlooked thanks to the majority of those who use the medium to tout how much they saved on a case of Diet Coke at the grocery store this week or constantly bemoan about their relationships or can't help but share every moment or move they make, no matter how inconsequential or intimate it might be.
Baby's first steps (among other firsts) belong in a photo album, not online, and the only person who should truly care about your relationship status is, well, you.
But beyond the nauseating, inept and downright delirious nature that social media often is associated with, it also showcases its fare of redeeming qualities between the practical and the potent.
The statistics suggest that social media has become the most popular and arguably the most effective form of communication beyond your posting a grocery list or videos of cats talking like people. Businesses, no matter how large or small, use Twitter and Facebook to promote their business, increase their revenues and save plenty of money on marketing budgets across the board. Businesses can grow their brand and communicate with customers that go above and beyond the typical across the counter interaction that is remarkably passe.

Iwundu Headlines Three Wildcats on All-Big 12 Teams
Iwundu Headlines Three Wildcats on All-Big 12 Teams
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Junior Wesley Iwundu was selected to the All-Big 12 Third Team as well as the league's All-Defensive Team, while freshmen Barry Brown and Dean Wade were named to the All-Newcomer Team, as the league office announced its annual men's basketball awards on Sunday.
Senior Buddy Hield highlighted the individual awards announcement, as he earned the league's Player of the Year honor for the second straight season to go with his unanimous All-Big 12 First Team selection. Texas' Prince Ibeh and Oklahoma State's Jawun Evans were announced as the Defensive Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year, respectively, while Iowa State's Deonte Burton and West Virginia's Jaysean Paige were unanimously selected as the Newcomer of the Year and the Sixth Man Award winner.
Texas Tech's Tubby Smith was named the Big 12 Coach of the Year for the first time.
The All-Big 12 awards are selected by league's 10 head coaches, who are not allowed to vote for their own players.
Iwundu, who earned All-Big 12 honors for the first time in his career, becomes the 13th Wildcat in school history and the first since 2014 to earn recognition to the All-Big 12 first, second or third team. He also became the fifth Wildcat to be named to the All-Defensive Team since 2010 and the first since 2013. Brown and Wade are the first Wildcat duo to be honored on the All-Newcomer Team and just the third and fourth overall.
The only Wildcat to start all 31 games, Iwundu has been impressive across the board this season, as he ranks first or second in eight statistical categories, including first in field goals (133), free throws made (98) and attempted (139), assists (3.7 apg.) and minutes (32.5 mpg.). He is also second in scoring (11.9 ppg.), double-figure scoring games (23) and steals (1.3 spg.). For the season, he has averaged 11.9 points on 47.8 percent shooting with 4.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.3 steals in 32.5 minutes per game. He has led the Wildcats in scoring seven times, in assists 17 times and in rebounding five times.
One of the league's most versatile players, Iwundu ranks in the Top 15 in seven different Big 12 categories, including assists (7th), minutes played (9th), field goal percentage (10th), assist-to-turnover ratio (11th) steals (13th), scoring (15th) and free throw percentage (15th). He also finished in the Top 10 in four Big 12 categories in league-only games, including steals (4th), assists (6th), free throw percentage (7th) and assist-to-turnover ratio (10th).
Iwundu is just the fifth player in school history to tally at least 750 points, 350 rebounds and 200 assists in a career, joining Tyrone Adams (1978-82), Rolando Blackman (1977-81), Askia Jones (1989-94) and Ed Nealy (1978-82).
One of only a handful of true freshmen to play in every game this season, Brown and Wade both have proven to be vital components for the Wildcats this season, as they have played in all 31 games, including starting together in the last seven contests.
Wade ranks third on the team in scoring (9.8 ppg.), field goals made (104), double-digit scoring games (15), offensive rebounds (62) and rebounding (5.1 rpg.), while connecting on 43.3 percent from the field (104-of-240) in 26 minutes per game. Brown is tops in both 3-point field goals made (45) and attempted (129) to go with averages of 9.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 steals in 25.4 minutes per game.
Wade became the eighth Wildcat freshman to tally 300 or more points in a single season, joining the likes of Michael Beasley, Curtis Redding, Marcus Foster, Bill Walker, Mike Evans, Jacob Pullen and Rolando Blackman. He ranks among the school's Top 10 in seven freshmen categories, including fourth in starts (29), sixth in free throws (73), seventh in minutes (805), eighth in points (303), ninth in blocks (17) and 10th in rebounds (158) and field goals attempted (240).
Brown also ranks among the school's freshman leaders in a number of categories, including the second-most 3-point field goals by a rookie in school history and the fifth-most steals (38).

Waste Recycling: Abia State to Produce Shirts from Scrap Plastic Bottles
Latest Nigeria news from Abia state Nigeria has that —–In an effort to ensure a healthy living for it citizens through environment preservation, the Abia state government is set to partner with a German-based company which has revealed plans to set up a waste management and re-cycling technology centre in the state.
Representing the state governor, the Chief of Staff, Mr. Cosmos Ndukwe, received the chairman of the German company and his team at the government house, where he expressed the government's readiness to partner with the Germans.
He expressed his profound optimism that the technology will enhance the social and economic potential of the state
According to the German consulting expert on environment, Mr. Michael Struve, the technology will generate huge income for the state as well as create job opportunities for the unemployed who are willing to learn.
In readiness for the Public Private Partnership (PPP) with the German company, Mr Ndukwe disclosed that residents in the state have been sensitized on the technology and they are willing to remove their metal scraps and wastes to create wealth.
Making a presentation at the reception, Mr Struve explained that the waste management process works with the collection of the disposal waste materials in a huge container.
These wastes are assembled at a place designated for the re-cycling process.
After the re-cycling process, 28 plastic drinking bottles becomes equivalent to one T-shirt, and 670 beverage cans will convert to a bicycle.
He also revealed that 19,000 aluminum tins can be turned into steel for car production, just as an old worn out tire can also be re-cycled to produce energy.
The German added that old telephones, mobile phones and electrical parts are not to be discarded as the company also plans to set up an electro-cycling factory that can treat 80,000 electronics per year.
According to Mr. Michael Struve, the state stands to make 100 percent profit worth trillions of Naira out of the technology transfer.
He added that the plan for the project will involve a final take-over of the technology by the state on the long run which he claimed; the company would be willing to transfer to the state.
He however requested that the company will like to have the monopoly for collecting all the wastes in the state.

Gene Kim: Charting DevOps milestones and metrics
To advance your DevOps efforts and drive success, you need to understand precisely where you stand.
For those of us deeply immersed in the rapidly advancing DevOps revolution, sometimes it's hard to remember that we're still early on in this game.
As discussion of 'unicorn' adopters has grown somewhat weary – given that these organizations tend to be those whose business models lend themselves to transformation (such as App Economy darlings Uber and Airbnb, etc.) – practitioners have made it abundantly clear that they seek more practical guidance as to where they should expect to find themselves on this journey.
Despite his status as one of the recognized "godfathers" of DevOps, or at the very least one of its most visible spokesman, noted entrepreneur and author Gene Kim (co-author of "The Phoenix Project" and other seminal works) remains intimately connected to the movement's real-world standing through his continued thought leadership work.
Based on this close connectivity to practitioners – those with both advanced and more nascent initiatives – there's perhaps no better person to ask which milestones, challenges and performance metrics represent the hallmarks of today's existing DevOps adopters.
In a recent interview, Gene shared some interesting feedback on what he's hearing out on the conference circuit and elsewhere in speaking to various stakeholders about their current DevOps strategies.
Filmed at CA World '15, the interview is definitely worth viewing in its entirety, as it touches on timely DevOps maturity topics, including:
Milestones: According to Kim, there is palpable progress being made related to the continued expansion and strategic import of DevOps adoption, namely:
Challenges: Based on some ongoing research, Kim said there are five primary challenges that most organizations are working to address today, related to:
Metrics: In terms of leveraging metrics to deepen internal DevOps buy-in, and further drive home the overarching business case, today's critical metrics include:
Worth noting, the research project that Kim is referencing, which surveyed over 20,000 organizations, also concludes that DevOps "high performers" continue to greatly outpace their peers in how they chart progress related to those metrics.
So there you have it. Watch the video for the full interview, and register for the 2nd annual DevOps Virtual Summit where Gene Kim and other thought leaders will be sharing additional perspective on current trends and best practices.
The very nature of DevOps is such that every element of the SDLC is treated like a work-in-progress. Yet, one of the critical elements of advancing your overall effort and driving success is understanding precisely where you stand.

Majunga, when I visited it in the nineties, was one of those long forgotten run-down ports on the north of the island of Madagascar. Once it had been a thriving harbour but now it's great attraction was as a destination for a few intrepid tourists and an interesting location for a magazine photographer like myself. I'd been commissioned by a travel magazine to do a feature on the island and Majunga was going to be one of the highlights.
I like these places which are long past their best but still retain a few vestiges of their glory days as part of an empire … in this case the age of French colonialism. Point a camera in any direction and there was a good shot to be had: derelict buildings, rotting ships hulls, locals with characterful faces hanging around street-corners and plenty more.
But I do also appreciate a bit of comfort after the day's work is done and the Hotel de France which was the only hotel in town was a long way from comfortable.
The room I had pre-booked had just an antique metal bed with an old stained mattress, and sheets which hadn't seen the inside of a washing machine for a month or two. The shower was little more than a dribble of brown water, there was no lock for the door, a pane of glass was missing from the window and the ceiling fan was hanging off it's hinges.
I was sitting disconsolately in the hotel bar on the pavement at the front of the hotel when Tony pulled to a halt in the dusty street. He ran a business farming and exporting raffia from Majunga and I had met him briefly in the island's capital a few days earlier. That's when he had offered me a place to stay while in Majunga but, being stubbornly independent I had said no. However I had suggested meeting up for a drink while I was in town and sure enough here he was like some kind of knight in shining armour to rescue me from the hell-hole of the Hotel de France.
He pulled up a seat and I ordered him a beer.
"So how do you like in our top night-spot?" he asked sarcastically.
"It's not quite what I was expecting. I haven't tried the fine-dining restaurant yet," I smiled back just as we both spotted a large rat scurrying along a shelf behind the bar. "…..but the meat looks fresh!!"
"I know you journalist types like to rough it a bit but you could get pictures which are just as good without having to put up with all this shit. The offer of a decent place to stay is still open"
I had only met Tony quite briefly when we had a drink together back in the capital. I suspected he was probably gay but that didn't worry me. I wasn't in the least bit interested in sex with men but I had many friends who were gay and, as long as they didn't ask me to join in I had no problem with it. He seemed a nice guy … about 30 years old so the same age as me and we did have common interests; travel, adventure, good food and drink, etc. He also seemed to have established a good life for himself on this island which was a long way from anywhere.
Never having been interested in men from a sexual point of view I paid no attention to his looks except to see that he was a pleasant looking guy, about the same height as me, 5'10'', and with a friendly smile and a good sense of humour.
He was smartly dressed in the standard 'uniform' of the British ex-patriot ….. short-sleeved safari shirt (breast pockets obligatory) and neatly pressed shorts, long white socks and khaki desert boots.
After he had described his Beach House, and looking once again at the crumbling Hotel de France, there really was not much of a decision to make.
"You're on," I said. "It sounds like paradise compared to this place."
He got up from the table and had a talk with the guy behind the bar and, within a few minutes my bags had been brought down from my room, and a few notes handed across as token payment. We finished our beers and jumped in Tony's Jeep speeding off through the dusty streets of the old town.
His Beach House was about half an hour out of town. We took a dirt track off the main road and passed through a little fishing village. A handful of colourful outrigger canoes called Pirogues were pulled upon the beach and small groups of fishermen wearing little more than loin cloths sat around mending nets, smoking and chatting.
I made a mental note to get back here with my cameras.
Tony seemed to know quite a few of them and stopped to chat to one guy who was leaning against a tree at the side of the road. Just before he pulled away Tony put a hand on the other man's back. His hand stayed there for longer than necessary as a perfunctory gesture and I could see he was giving the flesh a gentle squeeze.
I was getting increasingly certain that my new friend was gay, and I was also getting increasingly relaxed about it!
The road had continued along the back of the beach for a few hundred yards after the fishing village when Tony pointed to a wonderful building sitting atop a ridge at the end of the track.
"That's home" he said with obvious pride.
It was a long bungalow built from some good solid, hard wood. At either end of the building was a bedroom and in the middle, set slightly back was a kitchen, living room etc. But the main feature was the decking which stretched out in front towards the beach.
A roof of palm fronds sheltered half the deck while the rest was open to the elements as a sun bathing area. And it was all furnished with big, expensive looking soft chairs, a sofa and smart tables.
"Welcome", said Tony guiding me up the steps on to the deck with his hand on my back now and, yes, I do believe I detected a gentle squeeze of my flesh. I began to think that my stay here would be a whole new experience for me, and I wasn't too sure how I would react.
Then two young men emerged from the back room. They were stripped to the waist and wore coloured, short sarongs which only just covered their interesting bits.
"These are my houseboys," as if everybody had a few houseboys hanging around.
"This is Adam," said Tony. His hand was on the bare shoulder of the young man as he introduced him. "And this is Mark", as he nudged the other one forward to shake my hand.
"Actually their real names have about a dozen syllables and are impossible to pronounce so I call this one Adam, after the first man, and this one Mark, as he's got rather a cute birthmark on his arse!".
As houseboys it was their job to cook and clean for Tony, the master and I suspected that wasn't the end of their duties! They looked almost identical to me. Both were in their late teens or early twenties I guessed. They were slim and short, about 5 ft 3 inches, both had the most amazing dark chestnut coloured, smooth shiny skin and both had broad beaming smiles and bright friendly eyes.
"I'm going to have a shower and get into something more comfortable," said Tony pointing to the sand at the side of the deck where an outdoor primitive shower had been built into the house.
"If you want to do the same I'm sure the boys can find you a spare sarong. Try it. They're really cool and comfortable. Oh, that'll be your room while you're here" he said indicating the one on the left and with that he disappeared into the other one still talking as I slumped down into one of the big comfortable armchairs to reflecton my change in of fortunes.
Tony carried on the conversation from his room:
"I should perhaps have warned you but, as you've probably gathered by now, we have a very relaxed lifestyle here. For example, nobody worries about getting their kit off. Its not as if there are any neighbours to complain and the boys, Adam and Mark, don't care. Kids in this part of the world have absolutely no inhibitions."
With that, as if to prove a point, Tony emerged from his room stark naked with just a sarong draped over his arm, on his way to the shower. He stopped next to where I sat back in the armchair, his crotch just a few inches from my face. Up until this point in my life if I had seen that any man had caught me looking at his naked body I would have quickly turned away blushing but now I found myself staring at this cock so near to my face that I could almost feel its warmth on my face.
"Here things are different," he went on . The local people have a totally different attitude to life. They don't give a toss about nudity. They don't consider themselves heterosexual or homosexual, gay or straight .... they don't have such labels. Same sex or opposite sex, it makes no difference to them and, do you know what? I think they've got the right idea. "
"Unless I've got you completely wrong, I guess you'll like it too, even if it will take you a while to get used to the idea."
It he seems that Tony knew me better than I knew myself. I think I had already got used to the idea and was about to give into an irresistible urge to stretch out an arm to touch his manhood, but before I had a chance he walked on, hopping down onto the sand and under the shower. He knew he had got me hooked and he gave me a wry smile before turning his back and beginning to soap himself.
One of the "boys" brought me a beer and I settled back to admire the view. I should have been looking at the Indian Ocean and the idyllic palm-fringed beach but my gaze constantly went back to Tony and the show he was obviously putting on for my benefit in the shower.
His muscular body was well tanned although it wasn't an all-over tan so he didn't sunbathe completely nude I thought. He spent an exaggerated time soaping and rubbing his pecs and nipples before devoting all his attention to his cock and balls, soaping them thoroughly and running one hand back and forth along the length of his shaft.
If it was all designed to get my own cock rising, it worked.
"Your turn," he said stepping out of the shower and I quickly joined him on the sand. Realising it was pointless trying to hide my semi-erection I threw off my shirt and dropped my shorts and pants and stood before him naked, my aroused cock pointing straight at him. He stretched out a hand and gently touched it, his finger playing along its length. He grabbed its tip between forefinger and thumb and gave it a playful squeeze.
"Good to see you like it here" he winked and walked off drying himself has he went, then tying his sarong around his hips. I felt slightly cheated that our naked closeness had been so brief, but guessed that this was all part of his teasing me.
My shower was brief as I wanted to re-join Tony on the deck and see where all this was going to lead. As I began to dry myself Mark, with perfect timing, appeared at my side and handed me a sarong. But he could see I was a stranger to the garment and not sure how to tie it.
With me standing unashamedly naked next to him he expertly folded the cloth and passed it either side of me, tying it deftly on my hip which involved him stretching his arms around me. I noticed he deliberately rubbed his forearm against my crotch as he tied a knot in the material. And then he smoothed down the cloth with slow strokes over my butt and my crotch. As he did so he tilted his head up toward me and smiled the most melting of smiles.
I pulled up a comfortable chair opposite Tony and found a beer already poured for me. Now it was the turn of the houseboys for the shower and we sat and watched as Adam and Mark stripped and stepped under the water together. They were both impressively endowed which for some reason surprised me as they looked so young.
"God, suddenly I'm an expert on cock-size!" I thought to myself. How quickly life can change!
They soaped each other gently and spent ages fondling, stroking and gently pulling each other's cocks, cradling the balls and stretching below to that sensitive area between the scrotum and the rectum.
The water glistened on their beautiful skin and I found myself fighting a desire to join them, to run my fingers over that skin and even to take hold of those lovely handsome cocks. I kept wondering what I'd been missing for the past 30 years.
We sat drinking and talking for another few hours and it seemed the sexual tension just kept on building.
Tony would occasionally shift position, his sarong would fall open giving a tantalising glimpse of his cock which was tenting the material.
Or he would hold his cock under the material. Adam would stand by him and Tony would run his hand up and down the boy's thigh sometimes over the sarong and sometimes under. Adam in return would massage Tony's pecs and play with his nipples. Standing behind him and bending over the back of the chair, the boy's arms stretched further and further down Tony's chest, caressing and fondling as they made their way towards his crotch where his cock made a tent in the cloth.
As all this was happening, Mark knelt in front of me and started massaging my calf muscles, moving his hands further and further up my legs. Then he stood and allowed his sarong to fall open exposing his crotch, just out of my reach.
It was if there was some kind of sexual explosive in the air just waiting for a spark to ignite. In other circumstances I would have disappeared to my room to jack off in a blissful session, but now I just sat and watched the scene unfold.
Darkness had fallen and a full moon was rising from the horizon reflecting in a dazzling golden path on the sea. Thinking a skinny dip would be a chance to release the tension in my balls, I asked Tony if it was safe to swim.
"Safe as houses," he said. "But it's probably best if Mark keeps an eye on you as you've had a few drinks." This wasn't quite what I had in mind but it seemed sensible.
Tony said something to Mark in the local lingo and the boy leapt into action, grabbing a couple of beach towels and leaping down onto the sand and off to the water edge before I could say anything to him. I followed at a more leisurely pace thinking to myself that I had suddenly lost any reservations I may have had about gay sex.
The moon was so bright that it was almost like daytime and I could see that Mark had laid the towels out on the sand.
Laughing, he bowed deeply and waved an arm elaborately across the towels as if welcoming me formally to a palace. Since neither of us really understood the other's language it appeared that this was now to be conducted in a mock music-hall comedy mime.
I bowed to him, formally as if thanking him for the invitation. He stepped forward and bowed to me again, stretching out his arms to my hip where the sarong was knotted. Staring into my eyes he slowly untied the knot and pulled the material away from around my waist.
Now I stood before him completely naked, our eyes still fixed on each other until he looked down to see that my cock was once again rising to the occasion.
I responded by reaching out to his sarong, undoing the knot at his hip and allowing the cloth to drop to the sand. Again we paused, close enough to feel the heat of our bodies.
I put my hands on his shoulders and pulled him towards me so that our bodies touched. He raised his head to mine and we kissed.
I had never kissed a man before and the sensation went like a shock through my body. At first it was no more than a feather-light touching together of our lips, but gradually our lips parted and our tongues began to probe each other.
We pulled each closer so that chest touched chest and cock touched cock and our bodies gyrated together in a silent blissful dance which I wanted to last forever. My hands frantically ran up and down his back which was every bit as smooth and sensual as I had anticipated I felt down to his pert little arse softly taking a buttock in each hand, squeezing gently and lifting him slightly so that our raging hard cocks rubbed together as we moved up and down and side to side.
Our gyrations grew more active and, still locked together we fell over onto the towels rolling around as if trying to climb inside each other's body. When eventually we pulled our mouths apart I found myself lying under the young man as he began gradually to work his way down my body with his lips and tongue. He wrapped his lips around my nipples and sucked as much of the flesh as he could into his mouth before travelling further down towards my aching groin.
He tongued and tickled my navel and I could feel my cock rubbing against the top of his chest, then his neck and then his lips, and then, God the bliss of it, I felt his mouth close gently around the tip of my manhood, his tongue skilfully probing my piss-hole. I could have screamed with the pleasure of the feeling.
He wrapped one hand around my balls and played with them as he slowly took more and more of my rod into his mouth until I could feel the back of his throat. Expertly he worked my cock in and out of his mouth taking me rapidly to the point of no return.
The build-up of the evening, and now this ecstasy was too much and I knew that I could last no longer. Mark too knew that I was ready as with his other hand he grabbed my arse and pulled me even further into him. I could feel a finger probing my hole giving me a feeling of ecstasy I had never before experienced but before he could penetrate far into me I exploded into his mouth.
I had never ever cum with such force, my whole body shaking uncontrollably as Mark's mouth continued to work on my cock,agonisingly sucking every drop from my balls. Eventually finished he lifted his head from my groin and slid back up my body to find my mouth with his own and to fill me with my own seed.
We remained locked in a kiss for a glorious eternity, or so it seemed, until we eventually rolled apart to lay exhausted on our backs.
I stared up at the stars knowing that somehow, this was only the start.

What Guys Said 8
Totally. I've been outside as much as possible soaking it up, and it just makes me want to find a patio and drink some beer!10|10|0
With this recent heat wave in southern California that is delivering the highest temperatures of the year (almost 100 degrees here in some places), it definitely feels like summer!
Also, since I work as a substitute teacher and my district's school year ended in late May (early, I know!), it has felt like summer for me for the past week. I thought I would get stir crazy between now and when summer sessions start for my summer job, but I am very much enjoying this down time.00|00|0
Yeah sure
or was it GEO, I don't know but ehhh Beard Guy!00|00|0
Sadly , no. I'm depressed that schools is coming to an end. 2 months of free time and no school... One more year and I will get into high school :)00|00|0
Yes it's slowly coming00|00|0
Yeah all over my back and shoulders. When drinking beer in the sun remember to turn00|00|0

India's captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni will miss the first Test against Australia at the Gabba starting on December 4 with an arm injury.
India's BCCI announced late on Monday night that the wicketkeeper-batsman would not be fit for the first of four Tests the tourists will play against Michael Clarke's team this summer.
"M.S. Dhoni has been rested for the first Test as a prophylactic measure to ensure optimum recovery. He will join the team from the second Test onwards, and will lead the team for the rest of the Test series," a BCCI statement said.
The injury has forced Dhoni to sit out the one-day series against Sri Lanka that was scheduled after the West Indies pulled out of their tour to the subcontinent over a pay dispute with their own board.
Batsman Virat Kohli will take over as captain for the first Test.
While the scratching of Dhoni is a blow to the squad, he is likely to be a huge asset to the Indians in their World Cup defence.
Two additional keepers - Wriddhiman Saha and Naman Ojha - were announced in the squad to tour Australia while Suresh Raina will make a notable return to the Test set-up having not featured since September 2012. India will hope to improve on their 4-0 Test thrashing last time they toured Australia.
Indian team to tour Australia: M.S. Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, Murali Vijay, K.L. Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Wriddhiman Saha, Naman Ojha, R. Ashwin, Karn Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Mohd. Shami, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav, Varun Aaron.

Hello Andrea!
A few weeks ago, Andrew called me into his office, and told me "I'm sure you've figured this out already, but I'm transgender." To which I replied "Uhhh….I had no idea. " I am so oddly oblivious to these sorts of things, it's sad.
Today Andrew becomes Andrea.
What I know already is that Andrea retains all of the attributes that made me want to work with Andrew. She is a warm, and funny person who cares deeply about the technologies, communities, and people she works with. She is committed to her family and local community. We are lucky to have her at the Eclipse Foundation, and as part of the Eclipse, Eclipse Science, and LocationTech communities. She is on a very courageous journey of personal discovery, and to a small degree, we're along for the ride.
Andrea is at once both an old and a new member of the Eclipse community. Please give her a warm welcome.
Proposal: Funding Eclipse Platform Development
Last month I announced that the Eclipse Foundation is going to begin using personal and corporate donations to fund Eclipse platform development. Of course, the devil is in the details, and as an open source community we need to define an open and transparent process for how work is prioritized, and funds are allocated. Today, we are publicizing a draft document that lays out such a process.
One thing that we know is that the process can seem sort of heavyweight when you first read it. Be assured that we will be putting together some open-ended work packages to ensure that it remains lightweight and agile as possible.
If you have any comments or feedback, please post them on the email@example.com list (subscribe here).
We are looking forward to your feedback!
JetBrains Lockin: We Told You So
The news this morning that JetBrains is switching to a subscription-only model is a perfect example of why and how trusting a proprietary tools vendor leaves you and your business exposed to the whims of their profit margins. Make no mistake: this is motivated by what's good for their business, not what is good for the developer community. Even if JetBrains backpedals on this decision, it is a lesson worth learning.
Eclipse is the only truly community-based tooling platform. We are 100% open source from top to bottom. There is no "Community Edition". It's all open source. We are not beholden to any vendor's agenda.
We are well aware that IntelliJ is a great product. We are also aware that Eclipse has not been moving forward as quickly as we would have liked this last few years. But we are actively working to change things, and you — the developer community — can help. First of all, the Eclipse platform is now a truly open and community-driven project. Your time and code contributions will be welcomed. Also, we recently announced that 100% of all personal donations will be directed to funding Eclipse enhancements. So you can help in your personal capacity by donating even a fraction of JetBrain's subscription fees to Eclipse. Just as importantly, we will take directed corporate donations to fund Eclipse enhancements as well. Is there a couple of missing features that is slowing down your company's use of Eclipse? We can fix those for a fraction of what JetBrains wants to extract from your employer.
Eclipse is a true free and open source software community, focused on the needs of developers everywhere. Let's use this opportunity to re-invest in it so that it is the tool that you want to use every day. For free. Now and forever.
Users can now fund development work on Eclipse
Today, we are significantly lowering the barriers for companies and individuals to actively invest in the ongoing development of the Eclipse platform. Eclipse has an amazing community of individuals and companies that invest significant amount of resources in the development of Eclipse open source projects. We also have a huge community of users that benefit from Eclipse technology. They use Eclipse tools and technology to build their software products and applications. Most of these users don't have the time required to participate in an open source project but they do want to see ongoing improvements and investment in Eclipse. We now have a way for these users to invest in Eclipse improvements.
We are pleased to announce the Eclipse Foundation has begun to fund development work on Eclipse projects. In fact, there are a number of features and issues in the Mars release that were funded through the Foundation. The initial focus is on improving the core Eclipse platform, JDT and Web Tools. As the program expands we expect the list of projects will grow too. The process by which funds will be allocated is still a work in progress, but will be made available soon. It will be based on the core principles of openness and transparency.
The funding for the development work will come from individuals and corporate users. Earlier this year, Ericsson provided the Eclipse Foundation funds to improve the Eclipse platform which resulted in SWT, GTK3 and PDE improvements available in the Mars release. Ericsson is a large user of Eclipse and they see the value of investing in ongoing improvements. We hope other large corporate users of Eclipse will follow Ericsson's lead.
We are also pleased to announce that all users' donations to our Friends of Eclipse program will be used to fund Eclipse development work. Last year we raised over $120,000 from the Friends of Eclipse program, so we hope the ability to directly fund Eclipse development will significantly increase the donations we gain from our individual user community. To make things even easier, we have added Bitcoin as a payment option. Please take this opportunity to help improve Eclipse by making a donation.
Eclipse open source development will continue to move forward through work of our committer community. Committers are the heart and soul of any open source project. However, we are confident having additional investment from our user community will help accelerate future improvement to Eclipse. If you are a user of Eclipse, individual or corporate, it is now simple to participate in the future of Eclipse.
Eclipse Ships Luna SR1a Git Security Release
Several weeks ago, the Git community announced a new 2.2.1 release which fixed a serious security vulnerability. You can read more here and here. The Eclipse JGit project had their fix available the day that the vulnerability was announced. However, since the vast majority of Eclipse users get their Eclipse via the packages, the decision was made to make new versions of those available as well. I am happy to announce that as of 10:00am Eastern this morning, those new packages are now available for download from Eclipse.
This is the first time the Eclipse community has done a re-spin of our current release for a security issue. Congratulations and thank yous are due to many people, but in particular the JGit project, the webmaster team, and to David Williams and Markus Knauer for all the hard work necessary to make this happen.
Eclipse users who use Git or GitHub through their Eclipse Workbench should either download the new package, or use "Help > Check for Updates" to update their existing installation.
The Internet of Things Will be Built on Open Source
This post was originally published on the Bosch Connected World Blog.
The Internet of Things is poised to become the next wave of technology to fundamentally change how humanity works, plays, and interacts with their environment. It is expected to transform everything from manufacturing to care for the elderly. The internet itself has — in twenty short years — dramatically transformed society. This scale of change and progress is about to be repeated, in perhaps even larger and more rapid ways. New ventures will emerge, existing businesses will be disrupted, and everywhere the incumbents will be challenged with new technologies, processes, and insight.
It is important to recognize that the internet is successful because it is one of the most radically open technology platforms in history. The fundamental protocols of the internet were invented in the 1970's, and put in the public domain in the late 1980's. The world-wide web was invented at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), which made it free for everyone. In subsequent years, open source technologies such as Linux, the Apache web server and the Netscape / Firefox browser ensured that the basic infrastructure for the web is based on open source. The technology behemoths of our day such as Google, Amazon, Facebook and Twitter are only able to scale their infrastructure and their business models by relying on open source. In short: our modern digital world is built on open source software.
The Internet of Things will be implemented using open source software platforms. There is utterly no alternative to this outcome. Anyone who says otherwise is fooling themselves.
There are four reasons why this is true.
- Scale: Depending on which analyst you prefer, the next decade will see between 50 and 70 billion sensors being deployed on Earth. This will require tens, if not hundreds of millions of routers, gateways, and data servers. There is simply no way to achieve those levels of scale without relying on open source software to drive the vast majority of that infrastructure. Any other approach will simply be unaffordable, and will be out-competed by the economies of scale achievable by the open source alternatives.
- Freedom to Innovate: Open source software allows permission-less innovation. In particular, open source allows innovation by integration, where developers create new and novel systems by combining freely available open source components. This approach is somewhere between difficult and impossible for proprietary software stacks, where the vendor has to drive all of the invention.
- Inter-operability: I am a big believer in open standards, and firmly believe that they will be an integral part of the IoT. However, it has been proven time and again that the best possible way to have a new technology achieve rapid adoption is by combining open standards with a robust open source implementation. OSS implementations provide an easy adoption path, near-perfect interoperability with others, and reduces the cost of entering the market. In a world where developers are becoming one of the most precious of commodities, it makes no sense to waste them on implementing a standard. They should be focused on building software which provides the firm with product differentiating features that customers value.
- Developers: Lastly, recruiting and enabling developers is a key, and often overlooked part of any IoT strategy. By the end of this decade the number of IoT developers needs to grow from a few hundred thousand to over four million. Today's developers demand open source solutions and tools. Even a decade ago, technology acquisition was largely a top-down process. Now technology choices are largely made bottom-up, by developers experimenting with open source components and integrating them into a solution.
For these reasons, IoT is rapidly becoming a strategic area of focus for the Eclipse community. From three projects two years ago the Eclipse IoT community has grown to seventeen projects, implementing protocols, device gateway frameworks, vertical frameworks, and tools for the needs of IoT developers.
Bosch has been an active member of the Eclipse Foundation since March 2010. Their initial focus was on the Automotive Working Group, which has been working on tools and methods for automotive embedded systems. Its subsidiary Bosch Software Innovations (BoschSI) is one of the world's thought leaders in driving open source platforms for the Internet of Things. They have recognized its importance, and with contributions such as the Eclipse Vorto project are helping to make it a reality. The Eclipse Foundation values the partnership that we have with the development teams, and look forward to a long and fruitful collaboration.
The digital world we have today is built on open source technologies. The Internet of Things will be too. Come join the Eclipse IoT community to help make that happen
Eclipse Cloud Development: The FAQ
This morning, the Eclipse Foundation announced a new industry initiative focused on building tooling platforms for the cloud. The team prepared an FAQ, but I thought it might be helpful to publish it here as well.
What is being announced?
Eclipse is announcing the formation of a new Top Level Project, "Eclipse Cloud Development" to create the technologies, platforms, and tools necessary to enable the delivery of highly integrated cloud development and cloud developer environments. The ECD charter is available here. This TLP initially combines Eclipse Orion, Eclipse Che, and Eclipse Flux with SAP signaling that Dirigible will become part of the initiative. The Eclipse board of directors voted to approve this new project on September 17th, 2014, and a new project management committee has been formed. Additionally, Codenvy is announcing the creation of project Che, which contains their IP that makes up the Codenvy SDK, Codenvy IDE, and 50 plug-ins that provide programming language, source code control, deployment, and build / debugger support for cloud development. Codenvy will be contributing 30 full time resources to the ongoing development of Eclipse projects, the development of the community around cloud development, and the promotion of the Ecosystem that makes up the ECD. Codenvy has become a strategic developer member of Eclipse, and taken a board of directors seat with the foundation.
Why is Eclipse creating a top level project dedicated to cloud development?
There are over 22 million professional developers, and more than 99% of all development is still done on the desktop. The cloud has proven benefits to eliminate configuration overhead and improve visibility and control for organizations. The transition to cloud development away from the desktop has begun. Over the past 5 years, there have been 100s of global initiatives to work on development tools or underlying infrastructure necessary to enable development entirely in the cloud. With three projects at Eclipse already working on cloud development, and more coming soon, the time has come to focus the industry's efforts on enabling this transition. By creating a Top Level Project, the combined projects are better able to concentrate their resources, more easily align on technological and market objectives, and create a streamlined path for onboarding additional ecosystem projects, developers, and committers to cloud development.
Which projects will be part of the Cloud Development Platform top level project?
Eclipse Orion, Che, and Flux. SAP Dirigible is also planned for submission and will become part of the TLP.
What is the Che project?
You can read the Eclipse Che project proposal here.
What is the difference between Orion and Che?
Orion & Che:
- Provide a runtime for hosting, managing and scaling developer environments as Web apps.
- Provide an SDK for packaging, loading, and running tooling plug-ins.
- Provide a default set of plug-ins related to programming languages, source code, deployment, and other elements that are part of the developer workflow.
- Provide a default cloud IDE that combines a set of plug-ins, the SDK, and runtime together to offer a hosted developer experience.
- Have ways (or plans for ways) to connect desktop IDEs (like Eclipse and IntelliJ) directly into the hosted services
What is Dirigible and how does that relate to Che and Orion?
Dirigible extends the concepts promoted by Orion and Che to deliver on a rapid application development framework, fully hosted in the cloud. Dirigible abstractions make developing Web services and the clients that consume them structured with scaffolding, rapid, and easier to maintain. Rapid development frameworks have commonly been deployed to support database and packaged application development, and Dirigible brings those concepts to cloud developer environments. All three projects provide hosted developer environments. But our commonality and agreement on a common vision means that there will be nice reuse and alignment between the projects. All of the projects agree on core principles relating to providing developer services as atomic microservices, decoupling the clients (IDEs) that consume those services from the services themselves, supporting a broad range of clients (whether our browser IDEs or desktop IDEs connected over a bus), and providing a consistent way to provision, share and scale hosted developer environments together.
When should a developer user choose Orion and when should they choose Che?
They should choose both :). But more seriously, while a developer should try both products for all kinds of applications, if a developer is doing a JavaScript project, they should experience Orion. If their project has Java language extensions, Eclipse plug-ins, mobile development, or other non-Web application development, then they should give Che a try. Both Orion and Che will be working on a variety of common infrastructure projects that will make it easy for projects to migrate between Che and orion, along with the Che / Orion IDEs operating on a common set of enterprise infrastructure.
How will Orion, Che, Flux, and Dirigible collaborate together?
We have identified a number of initiatives that the projects will align on. These include: Finding ways to have Che and Orion plug-ins work within each other's systems. Standardizing on the synchronous REST API model that allows browser clients to communicate with server-side systems. A sample set of APIs can be seen at docs.codenvy.com. Using Flux to standardize on the asynchronous communication model between various cloud systems, along with enabling browser and desktop clients to have decoupled access to cloud systems. Collaborating on a model that allows for on-demand, authentication-less environment creation through URLs, similar to the effects seen by Codenvy Factory, as documented at docs.codenvy.com/user. Temporary environments will be possible to be generated on any system supporting the format. Align on common underlying enterprise infrastructure, that will seamlessly take a single server cloud IDE package, and allow it to be deployed within an enterprise system that provides multi-tenancy, elasticity, and security. Incorporate the Dirigible configurate-stored-as-a-model approach to create an abstraction to support a variety of rapid development approaches and frameworks.
What is the future of cloud development, and your roadmap here?
Cloud development's benefits are significant to individual developers, development teams, and enterprise organizations. There are huge configuration taxes that exist today due to environment creation, environmental technical debt, environmental tribal knowledge, hardware interoperability issues, and the general interoperability issues that exist between making an ecosystem of tools and plug-ins work together. All of these problems can be dramatically reduced with a cloud development platform that automates the full lifecycle of developer environment and its supported tooling. To achieve this vision, much more than a cloud IDE is required. A cloud development platform (CDP) takes a cloud IDE and turns it into an orchestration system for developer environments. The power of the CDP is that it can automate many of the workflows that make up the tasks carried out by developers, QA, product managers, documentation specialists, and devops professionals. Why should each developer only have a single developer environment that lives indefinitely (statically) on their desktop, when – with full automation – every developer and system can have a unique developer environment for each task they carry out during the day? Whether it's fixing a bug, investigating a legacy branch, working on a new feature, or exploring a new technology library, a cloud development platform can auto-provision a specialized environment for each task, on-demand, with no downloads or configuration required by the developer. The CDP can then provide numerous services to make the developer's workflow shorter and less error prone. These include advanced editors, dependency analysis, automated unit testing, debugging, building, packaging, and source code management integration. The CDP can take these operations at scale, and make them run faster than they would normally run on an individual desktop, but also require less hardware for a large organization than performing these functions on desktops since the cloud can be operated on a dense hardware cluster. Finally, with development centralized, devops and development leaders, can better support the development of a population of developers by incorporating best practices, behavioral access controls, and monitoring tools to ensure IP compliance and maximum productivity of individuals. Imagine being able to direct an extra 20GB of RAM to a developer that urgently needs it for compilation, or creating a special set of sand boxes to support white room development of secure IP, or allowing an instructor to create a programming exam accessible to his students for exactly one hour with controls to detect any plagiarism or cheating. With a CDP, all of these scenarios are configurable, simply. Net, net: Faster development. Cheaper development. Development done with compliance and security. Our roadmap to support this vision includes: Advancing each TLP project through their normal roadmap and evolution processes. Recruiting new projects that provide critical developer services in the cloud into the ECD TLP. Aligning core plug-in, editor, and API / interface models between the projects. There will be combined ecosystem, evangelism, and business development efforts to bring more developers, projects, and plug-ins to ECD model including special efforts and attention to migrating existing Eclipse plug-ins. Codenvy will create an additional project that focuses on the enterprise scale elements of a ECD, and Flux / Orion / Che will work to standardize deployment of each system within the enterprise infrastructure. An effort to study how analytics, events, and the BI of development workflows will be created.
Why is Codenvy donating their core IP?
Codenvy believes in openness, transparency, ecosystem, and Eclipse. The cloud development problem is massive and cannot be solved individually. By working with the Eclipse foundation, Codenvy is able to concentrate their resources with others that have a similar value system and vision.
When will the Che code be available? For which "parts" of the platform?
The initial Che code is available under EPL at github.com/codenvy/sdk. We are working within the Eclipse process to get through Incubation now.
What kinds of products, applications can we expect to see as a result of this collaboration?
You can expect to see new IDEs, new plug-ins, new enterprise technologies to support executing these systems at scale, and you can expect to see integration bridges that bind ECD into other core development platforms like Jenkins and Jira.
How can I contribute to and participate in the Che project?
Get started by cloning the source and getting active at Eclipse. https://github.com/codenvy/sdk

Virtually all employees in South Dakota must be covered by workers' compensation insurance. State and local government employees are covered, as are duly appointed volunteer workers and volunteer emergency workers, whose earnings for purposes of benefit computation are presumed to qualify them for the maximum level of compensation allowed under the Workers' Compensation Act. Vocational or technical school employees in job training programs are covered and are considered employees of the school. While independent contractors and subcontractors are responsible for providing coverage for their respective employees, the prime contractor is ultimately responsible. Minors, whether or not lawfully employed, are also covered.
Only the following types of employees are exempt from coverage:
Employers may elect to provide coverage for employees in exempt categories. Coverage may not be waived by individual employees (SD Cod. Laws Sec. 62-4-1et seq.).

Dome - Dancing Under the Stars
Dome November 2013
Dancing Under the Stars
Date: October 29, 2013
On Oct. 12, roughly 100 patients and guests danced the night away at "An Evening Under the Stars," the first homecoming dance for All Children's Hospital patients. With help from teams from across the hospital, ACH Child Life program leaders created the event so that patients with life-limiting or chronic illnesses could enjoy a favorite teenage rite of passage. On the day of the event, staff and volunteers transformed the Education and Conference Center auditorium into an elegant venue. Employees donated formal wear, and volunteer hair, nail and makeup stylists helped patients look their best.
