Spring Breaks Devon
You don't have to wait until the summer to enjoy the best of what South Devon has to offer. The sheltered position and mild climate of the English Riviera means that the region is the perfect destination at any time of year. Spring in South Devon is particularly beautiful, when the region bursts into a vibrant tapestry of colour. Spring also tends to come early to this sheltered part of the country, and from early April onwards the weather is warm, sunny and mild.
Out of season breaks
Spring in South Devon also gives you a chance to enjoy the delights of the region without battling the crowds. Great transport links to the rest of the country and Europe mean that destinations like Torquay, Brixham, Paignton and Babbacombe are accessible all year round. Because the region is protected by Dartmoor to the north west, the English Riviera enjoys a microclimate that means even the early days of spring are milder than in the rest of the country. This gives you a perfect opportunity to explore the great outdoors and discover bluebell woods, carpets of crocuses and a host of other glorious sights. The region is perfect for those who love outdoor activities, and for water sports lovers the sea is warm enough for a dip from April onwards.
Off peak accommodation
Unlike many other 'seasonal' regions, the English Riviera is a year round destination. The vast majority of our award-winning accommodation, hotels and self-catering welcome visitors throughout the year, with many offering off-peak deals that make the English Riviera a real value-for-money destination. Choose from luxury modern apartments overlooking the pretty towns of Torquay, Babbacombe or Brixham or a traditional Devon self-catering cottage complete with thatched roof and a garden full of spring flowers.
No matter what time of year you choose to visit South Devon, there is one thing you can be certain of and that's a warm welcome. To find out more about Spring breaks in the English Riviera and for accommodation details and booking, simply browse our website. With information on spring events, hotels and things to do, you can discover a whole new Springtime Devon!

BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobile World Congress -- Mozilla, the mission-based organization dedicated to keeping the power of the Web in people's hands, today previewed the future of Firefox OS to show how the flexibility, scalability and powerful customization will empower users, developers and industry partners to create the exact mobile experience they want with relevant and innovative features, localized services and more.
Expanding Ecosystem
Today, device partners ALCATEL ONETOUCH, Huawei, LG and ZTE are all using Firefox OS on a broad range of smartphones that are tailored for different types of consumers. The Firefox OS devices unveiled today showcase dual-core processors for better performance, higher screen resolution and more. The newest Firefox OS devices to join the family include the ZTE Open C and Open II, Alcatel ONETOUCH Fire C, Fire E, Fire S and Fire 7 tablet, all using Snapdragon™ processors from Qualcomm Technologies Inc., a leader in mobile communications
In the few months since initial launch, Firefox OS smartphones are now available in 15 markets, with new operators and new markets around the globe announced today. Mozilla is working to create a level playing field with the openness of the Web. The ecosystem is catching fire and resulting in development of new form factors beyond the smartphone. For example, Panasonic announced they will make SmartTVs powered by Firefox OS, Foxconn and VIA are making Firefox OS tablets, and Mozilla is working with suppliers to enable devices for all target user groups.
Significant growth is also happening with apps and content on Firefox OS, proving the Web has the potential to be the world's largest marketplace. Firefox OS offers two ways to discover and utilize apps and content – the Firefox Marketplace and an adaptive app search that enables discovery and access to apps that users can instantly use once or download to keep. This innovative approach helps maximize data and storage usage.
The Firefox Marketplace has seen thousands of developers submitting apps and millions of downloads of popular global and relevant local apps. Top global apps include Cut the Rope, Disney's Where's My Water?, Facebook, EverNav, HERE, Line, Pinterest, SoundCloud, The Weather Channel, TimeOut, Twitter, Yelp and YouTube.
The Firefox Marketplace makes it possible to create local and niche apps with relevant regional content by allowing developers to build on basic Web technologies, without gatekeepers. The top new local apps in the Firefox Marketplace include Despegar.com travel booking, Capp World Cup highlights, Captain Rogers game, Manana reading app, Napster, SurfTime and more.
Future of Firefox OS
At Mobile World Congress, Mozilla is showing off a preview of what to expect from Firefox OS in the coming year and what's possible when the Web is the platform.
Firefox OS is made to change with each individual and adapt to his or her interests and needs with features like adaptive app search, offline use and cost control. New content can be enjoyed instantly with a simple search, making downloads virtually a thing of the past. Firefox OS offers deep levels of customization that are unmatched by any platform or device. This is possible because Firefox OS is built on the flexible technologies of the Web and the user interface is made of a modular architecture of building blocks that make it easy for anyone to customize.
Upcoming versions of Firefox OS will offer users fun and innovative new features and services including new and intuitive navigation, a powerful universal search feature, support for LTE networks and dual SIM cards, easy ways to share content, ability to create custom ringtones, replaceable home screens and Firefox Accounts.
New versions of Firefox OS have many performance improvements that dramatically improve the user experience including speedier launch times, smoother scrolling and improved keyboard accuracy.
Here are highlights on a few of the features coming next for Firefox OS:
- Deep customization options for operators and manufacturers, developers and users. This includes the ability to create custom ringtones and replaceable home screens, which were direct requests from Firefox OS users.
- A new universal search that will revolutionize how users discover content on their phones. The feature is available on any screen – simply swipe down from the top to find new apps, content or navigate to anything on the phone or the Web.
- New navigation features to make multitasking intuitive, fluid and smart, much like how users interact with the Web. Users can easily swipe from the left and right edges to seamlessly move between pages, content and apps in a fun way that saves time.
- Easy and direct sharing of content (and even software updates) in a secure way with NFC support, without the need for data or Wifi.
- LTE support to make the mobile experience even faster.
- Firefox OS will introduce Firefox Accounts and services. Firefox Accounts is a safe and easy way for users to create an account that enables them to sign in and take Firefox everywhere. With Firefox Accounts, Mozilla can better integrate services including Firefox Marketplace, Firefox Sync, backup, storage, or even a service to help locate, message or wipe a phone if it were lost or stolen.
As the platform evolves, Firefox OS will enable new technologies for the mobile industry. Mozilla is already leading the way in areas like gaming, privacy and security, WebRTC and other services. Firefox OS is a great platform for which partners can build additional services that meet the needs of their customers regionally and individually.
Early examples:
- Telefonica offers a very helpful cost control app for customers to manage their usage and top off their account.
- Deutsche Telekom just announced they are utilizing the deep levels of customization Firefox OS offers to develop new privacy features for the Future of Mobile Privacy project, a joint effort with Mozilla to create effective, user-driven privacy functionality for mobile devices.
- WebRTC is an open, standards-based technology that enables operators to offer services like real time chat, image and file sharing. With WebRTC, operators can let users make calls to any desktop or mobile device, regardless of platform or service provider.
"We're pleased to see the Firefox OS ecosystem grow so quickly as users, developers and partners come together to experience and build the future of mobile experiences," said Andreas Gal, Mozilla Vice President of Mobile. "Firefox OS will continue to evolve and add more features to offer choice and customization that is unmatched by any other smartphone. We're excited to see what other features and services will result from an open platform being contributed to by developers, partners and community around the world."
About Mozilla
Mozilla has been a pioneer and advocate for the Web for more than 15 years. We create and promote open standards that enable innovation and advance the Web as a platform for all. Today, half a billion people worldwide use Mozilla Firefox to experience the Web on computers, tablets and mobile devices. With Firefox OS and
Firefox Marketplace, Mozilla is driving a mobile ecosystem built entirely on open Web standards, freeing mobile providers, manufacturers, developers and consumers from the limitations and restrictions imposed by proprietary platforms. For more information, visit www.mozilla.org.

When an enterprise builds a hybrid IaaS cloud connecting its data center to one or more public clouds, security is often a major topic along with the other challenges involved. Security is closely intertwined with the networking choices made for the hybrid cloud. Traditional networking approaches for building a hybrid cloud try to kludge together the enterprise infrastructure with the public cloud. Consequently this approach requires risky, deep "surgery" including changes to firewalls, subnets...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric.

This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happe...

In her session at @ThingsExpo, Esmeralda Swartz, CMO of MetraTech, discussed how for this to be effective you not only need to have infrastructure and operational models capable of utilizing this new phenomenon, but increasingly service providers will need to convince a skeptical public to participate. Get ready to show them the money!

One of 2012's hottest IPOs was a Chinese retailer, VIPshop Holdings, ViPS 0.17667844522968199% Vipshop Holdings Ltd. ADS U.S.: NYSE USD22.68 0.04 0.17667844522968199% /Date(1416607738155-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 8429924 AFTER HOURS USD22.8 0.120000000000001 0.5291005291005291% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 92789 P/E Ratio 140.08647313156268 Market Cap 12866085357.6029 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 299848 More quote details and news » which in March of last year listed its shares on the New York Stock Exchange and then saw them gain nearly threefold by year end. The Guangzhou-based e-tailer runs flash sales—online sales of discounted items that last until supplies run out, usually about three to five days—available only to VIPshop members.
VIPshop has grown into the country's leading online discounter of brands, with 26.8 million members as of December, nearly five million of whom bought something. Repeat customers make up nearly two-thirds of the total, and love "the thrill and excitement," says VIPshop. The company (ticker: VIPS) as of Dec. 31 worked with 5,800 brands, though it has exclusive relationships with only 700 of them.
Revenue tripled to $692.1 million last year, helping VIPshop turn profitable in the fourth quarter. For 2013, analysts on average expect VIPshop to earn 68 cents a share on revenue of $1.42 billion; in 2014, those figures are expected to rise to $1.35 a share on revenue of $2.09 billion. VIPshop shares, meanwhile, continue to run, recently fetching more than $28, versus the $6.50 initial-public-offering price. It now has a market value of $1.5 billion. That's despite a secondary offering in March, and Chinese shares' generally weak returns.
The Chinese love branded goods and a bargain: As a result, the country is rife with knockoffs and counterfeit goods. VIPshop initially wanted to sell high-end goods like Prada PRDSY 3.6915504511894994% Prada S.p.A. ADS U.S.: OTC USD12.64 0.45 3.6915504511894994% /Date(1416612004000-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 53535 AFTER HOURS USD12.64 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 53535 P/E Ratio 21.021120904706468 Market Cap 16097175074.2053 Dividend Yield 2.3574208860759494% Rev. per Employee 454316 More quote details and news » (PRDSY) and LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton MC.FR -0.5519144532597448% LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton France: Paris EUR144.15 -0.8 -0.5519144532597448% /Date(1416862853000-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 475834 P/E Ratio 21.518200365170646 Market Cap 73586982375.7095 Dividend Yield 1.734304543877905% Rev. per Employee 257016 More quote details and news » (MC.France), but customers assumed they were fakes. It then found a niche in Chinese brands and mid-tier foreign brands. VIPshop says it offers a 100% guarantee and a seven-day return policy. It declined to talk about the brands in this story.
Some questions, however, have come up. A French winemaker named Michel Chapoutier recently was taken aback when he found shirts for sale on VIPshop labeled "M Chapoutier New Dawn Dream." He does put his name on clothing to promote his wine brand, but this wasn't his clothing displayed online. Chapoutier's spokesman declined to comment, but the winemaker told the Wine Spectator he was looking at possible trademark violations.
In a public filing for its secondary offering, VIPShop acknowledges that it has been "subject to allegations that some of the items sold on our Website are counterfeited or without authorization from the relevant brand owner."
Barron's decided to check out VIPshop's Website. Many of the items were nicely photographed, and worn by attractive models. At the time, VIPshop was running a sale of Zippo lighters. But some of the lighters had stickers affixed and others had stamping on the bottom that were unfamiliar to a prominent Zippo dealer. Others looked fine to him.
Barron's sent some of the images of the lighters to Zippo in Bradford, Pa. A Zippo spokesman and the company historian reviewed them and said, "Our best guess is that these probably were made illegally in Japan or another country," though both the company and dealer said it was impossible to tell without viewing them firsthand. Zippo sells in China via authorized dealers including Taobao.com and is opening its own Zippo store on Taobao soon. Zippo said it was still studying the matter but didn't think VIPshop was an authorized dealer.
THEN WE LOOKED AT three pages of Coach COH 0.9133683919180736% Coach Inc.

Knowledgeable people said they saw no reason to doubt the authenticity based on the pictures. Certainly, there didn't appear to be heavy discounting: VIPshop is charging Coach-style prices of between 1,450 and 2,660 Chinese yuan, or roughly $234 to $429. The majority of bags on Coach's Website sell between $200 and $500.
However, the only authorized places to buy Coach goods in China are through the Coach Website (china.coach.com) or Coach's 90-plus stores on the mainland, according to the company. A Coach spokeswoman said only that Coach works closely with law enforcement in China to enforce their rights but declined to comment on the authenticity of the images.
VIPshop declined to describe the steps it takes to ensure that goods are authentic or that it's authorized to sell them, directing Barron's to its publicly available documents.
The documents suggest VIPshop is aware of knockoffs' danger and the company says it's taken measures to ensure authenticity and authorization. In its securities filing, it cited, as possible risks, that "a public perception that nonauthentic or counterfeit goods are sold on our Website, even if factually incorrect, could damage our reputation, reduce our ability to attract new customers or retain our current customers, and diminish the value of our brand." Product returns fell from 2011 to 2012, it said. More returns could cut revenue and raise costs.
VIPshop seems to have capably navigated a growing market. But rivals aren't sitting still: There are small flash sites, as well as big e-tailers like Tmall, run by Alibaba Group (partly owned by Yahoo! yhoo -0.4097560975609756% Yahoo! Inc.

ABC Chief Economist Anirban Basu said the U.S. is finally coming out of the recession.
The national construction industry is heading for growth, according to Associated Builders and Contractors Chief Economist Anirban Basu. Basu, who also is chairman and CEO of Sage Policy Group Inc., a Baltimore, Md.-based economic and policy consulting firm, addressed his positive outlook for the construction industry at C&D World 2014 held in early March in Las Vegas.
While the nation's debt will continue to rise, Basu said, construction spending, in many instances, increased from January 2013 to January 2014. Nonresidential construction spending for lodging (including hotels and casinos) is up 41 percent in January 2014 compared with January 2013, he said. (The most recent figures, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, show that construction spending for lodging is up 37 percent in February 2014 compared with February 2013). Basu pointed out that construction spending dropped the most for nonresidential religious manners (including churches). (The most recent figures, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, show that construction spending for religious manners is down 22.6 percent in February 2014 compared with February 2013).
"We're finally coming out of the recession," Basu said.
He told attendees that portions of the construction industry are growing. The housing market, for example, will continue to be a source of progress, he said.
"People will ask, "Why are my friends doing better? I'm renting and they bought a house, that's why,'" Basu said.
He explained that certain regions of the United States will see advancements in the industry more based on activity in those areas. Import and export activity, as one example, will help grow construction activity, he said.
"Regions with rapid population growth, significant import and export activity, industrial output and energy production will lead the way," Basu said.
Also speaking during C&D World 2014 was San Jose, Calif.-based Zanker Road Resource Management Sustainability Director Michael Gross, who discussed the company's potential future in brick recycling, the difficulty of recycling mattresses and how the company recycles unique materials, such as CDs and candles.
Paul Valenti, director of operations for Sun Recycling, a Southern Waste Systems (SWS) company, headquartered in Davie, Fla., talked about the company's recently installation of a Wendt 60x86 metal shredder and how the company is using refuse-derived fuel (RDF) to take out ultralights (anything light enough to blow away, he explained) from C&D waste streams. He also discussed the challenge of PVC pipe recycling.
Kim Williams, president of Marpan Recycling, discussed the Tallahassee, Fla.-based company's daily operations, including its full-service material recovery facility (MRF).
C&D Word 2014 was held March 5 at the Bally's Las Vegas Hotel and Casino in conjunction with ConExpo-Con/Agg 2014.

Boston man accused of dealing cocaine and heroin in Salem
Roberto Agosto-Vazquez, 27, was charged on Saturday night with two counts of possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute after being interviewed by a police officer while standing outside of his car, police said.
The male passenger saw Dempsey and quickly exited the vehicle and got into another car nearby, police said.
When police searched the pockets of Agosto-Vazquez, they turned up several small bags of narcotics, police said.
Dempsey then got a search warrant for the car, and found 189 more baggies containing crack cocaine, heroin and cocaine inside the vehicle, police said.
Agosto-Vazquez was arraigned on all three charges in 10th Circuit Court in Salem on Monday.
The two counts of possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute are felonies that carry potential state prison sentences and a fine.

I admire your honesty. I have been down with Ron Paul since the moment he stole my vote for Rudy by telling the truth on national TV:
This is the moment that changed my life.. and I saw it live. Rudy had my vote because of his show of leadership during 9/11. Since that time, I have spent thousands in dollars and labor.
The truth can motivate change...

Product description
Introducing a fresh, exciting new voice, an inspiring debut about a Chinese immigrant girl forced to choose between two worlds and two futures. When Kimberly Chang and her mother emigrate from Hong Kong to Brooklyn squalor, she quickly begins a secret double life: exceptional schoolgirl during the day, Chinatown sweatshop worker in the evenings. Disguising the more difficult truths of her life-like the staggering degree of her poverty, the weight of her family's future resting on her shoulders, or her secret love for a factory boy who shares none of her talent or ambition-Kimberly learns to constantly translate not just her language but herself back and forth between the worlds she straddles. Through Kimberly's story, author Jean Kwok, who also emigrated from Hong Kong as a young girl, brings to the page the lives of countless immigrants who are caught between the pressure to succeed in America, their duty to their family, and their own personal desires, exposing a world that we rarely hear about. Written in an indelible voice that dramatizes the tensions of an immigrant girl growing up between two cultures, surrounded by a language and world only half understood, "Girl in Translation" is an unforgettable and classic American immigrant novel--a moving tale of hardship and triumph, heartbreak and love, and all that gets lost in translation.

'Celerio Will be a Game Changer'
By Express News Service - CHENNAI
Published: 08th February 2014 07:58 AM
Last Updated: 08th February 2014 10:11 AM
Maruti Suzuki has for long introduced market defining models in the Indian market, from the iconic Maruti 800 to the Swift, which opened up the premium hatchback segment in the country.
And the newly-launched Celerio is promising to be another segment creator.
Unveiled in the city on Friday, the Celerio is at first glance, a small, understated car with the minimal lines and no-nonsense look of the quintessential Maruti product. But what's exciting about the car is its efficient and low-priced, auto gear shift option.
While there have been automatic transmission options in several other cars released in the last few years, high costs and lower fuel efficiency made them options that the Indian customer was unwilling to indulge in.
"We hope that with both issues that customers raise with automatics addressed, the Celerio will be a game changer in the Indian market," said Manohar Bhat, vice-president, sales.
Priced at Rs 4.01 lakh and Rs 4.27 lakh respectively, the Lxi and Vxi variants of the Celerio come with automatic transmission variants that cost only Rs 40,000 more, firmly placing them in the below Rs 5 lakh segment.
The Zxi, which doesn't have an automatic variant, comes in at Rs 4.57 lakh with airbags, ABS and security systems available in the Zxi (optional) at Rs 5.01 lakh.
"Automatic variants normally cost around Rs 1 lakh more than the manual ones," pointed out Takahiko Hashimoto, executive officer, marketing and sales. "We've managed to reduce the gap to about half of that," he added.
The Celerio is also touted to have a fuel economy of 23.1 kilometres per litre, in both automatic and manual variants.
The Celerio, with a 998 cc 3 cylinder K-Next engine delivering 68 ps at 6,000 rpm, comes in four petrol variants — the Lxi, Vxi, Zxi and Zxi (optional), with the Lxi and Vxi also coming with Auto Gear Shift options.

Homeland Security Department officials awarded a $229 million contract to BearingPoint Inc. last week for work that will pull together scores of administrative and financial systems from the 22 agencies that were merged to create DHS in 2002.
Enterprise resource planning systems, such as those that are part of DHS' Electronically Managing Enterprise Resources for Government Efficiency and Effectiveness (EMERGE2) program, function as back-end systems. But BearingPoint officials said they are critical to DHS' mission of protecting the nation against terrorist attacks.
"The terrorists are coming," said Darryl Moody, senior vice president of homeland security and intelligence at BearingPoint. "They're coming by land, by sea, by air or by [cyberspace]. What this agency needs is to know where its assets are — not [only] for good fiduciary management but [also] for mission success."
DHS officials must be able to properly distribute resources, Moody said.
"You can't do that unless you first have visibility into the assets and can move them around," he said. "A walk-through metal detector is an asset that needs to be tracked. A mobile screening device is an asset." If the Coast Guard has metal detectors and Customs and Border Protection needs them, the EMERGE2 system will enable the Coast Guard to move the devices to where they are needed, he said.
DHS officials made the award about three months later than expected, which they attributed to the complexity of the task. Under EMERGE2, members of the BearingPoint team will design, implement and manage agencywide systems for tracking assets — everything from finances to physical equipment. When the program is completed, DHS employees should have information to quickly locate assets.
Much of that information already exists in systems maintained by the 22 agencies brought together to form DHS or by newly created ones such as the Transportation Security Administration, Moody said. The challenge will be to tear down electronic walls so officials in any of the former agencies have access to information kept by the others.
Although agency and company officials expect to conduct early pilot programs of BearingPoint's integration work, the implementation will take time, said Andrew Maner, chief financial officer at DHS.
"We all know the hard work is all in the development, the execution and the delivery, so we have a lot of work to do," he said. "But it's very important to get a prime [contractor] named [that will] get to work on this."
The first phase, called the conference-room pilot, will validate and demonstrate the BearingPoint solution. Company officials declined to offer details about the product but said the pilot test is nearly ready.
Agency officials said that despite the delay in awarding the contract, they intend to work quickly. "We will always continue to set aggressive schedules because we know the importance of this to homeland security," Maner said. But that urgency has to be balanced with taking the time "to do all needed due diligence," he added.
John Ortego, president of Ortego and Associates, said BearingPoint was a logical choice because of its plan to use database software from Oracle Corp. "Oracle probably already had a 60 percent footprint in DHS," he said.
Unifying the financial systems will make DHS a single department rather than a consortium of agencies in the eyes of policy-makers, he added.
Stitching together an agency
Officials at BearingPoint Inc. have named eight systems integration partners for work the company will perform under the Electronically Managing Enterprise Resources for Government Efficiency and Effectiveness contract with the Homeland Security Department. The companies are:
BEA Systems Inc.
Booz Allen Hamilton Inc.
Deloitte Consulting
Global Computer Enterprises Inc.
Hewlett-Packard Co.
Lockheed Martin Information Technology
Sunflower Systems
Thomas & Herbert Consulting LLC
BearingPoint Inc. officials said they will begin work immediately under the Electronically Managing Enterprise Resources for Government Efficiency and Effectiveness contract, and they expect the first demonstration projects to be ready within 60 days.
Darryl Moody, senior vice president of homeland security and intelligence at BearingPoint, said the project will begin by integrating financial and budget resources and then expand to include procurement data, contract actions, physical property, land and other assets.
Moody said many parts of the system will be running within a year, although additional fine-tuning and expansion will be needed in subsequent months. "The entire elephant's not going to walk through the door at once," he said.

Very nice little house with character and modern amenities. Walking distance to restaurants, bars, coffee shops and a gym / yoga studio. Neighborhood is "transitional" but being from Chicago I didn't mind. Very good value!
Great place and an adorable neighborhood!"
My husband and I had a wonderful stay. The house had a wonderful, inviting ambiance- beautifully decorated. The house had everything we needed and the kitchen was fully equipped. We found everything to be clean and well kept. The neighborhood is delightful with an amazing park nearby to take a stroll, and great restaurants, coffee shops and supermarkets at a walking distance. We highly recommend it, the owner was always reachable by phone or email. He made our stay pleasant and hassle free!
