In a recent survey of IT pros, not only did cloud computing rank as a top three technology both as most disruptive and as most significant to business over the past three to five years, but it ranked as the number one technology investment most needed for businesses to remain competitive in the next three to five years.
In short, the cloud is here, and it's here to stay. We're naturally seeing many enterprises move to the cloud, at least in a hybrid traditional computing-cloud approach (for now). As more cloud-based services are born, the shift will only accelerate. This begs the question, what does all this mean for today's IT pro?
Does the cloud mean the end of the IT pro?
The rise and adoption of cloud services fundamentally changes the role of the IT professional. Some even argue that the demand for particular IT jobs may disappear altogether. That may sound ominous, but some aspects of IT will indeed change and many things IT pros do today will go away. Some companies may get to the point where they have to ask themselves if enough of the IT infrastructure remains on premise to justify maintaining current internal IT roles.
However, IT will not go extinct because of the shift to the cloud. In fact, it presents IT pros with an opportunity to do something absolutely critical to business success and that no one else is in a better position to do: manage and integrate these cloud services into existing business systems. This will be key for IT pros who want to remain relevant in the new services-based world.
Become cloud leaders
To remain relevant, IT pros must embrace the cloud, not be afraid of it. Business leaders have become more tech-savvy, yes, but they lack the IT skills needed to navigate the transition from traditional computing to cloud computing. This is where today's IT pro can step up as a leader in the new cloud environment, but it will take work.
Leveraging cloud services is not the same as delivering similar services from on-premise systems. In some cases, like IaaS and PaaS, IT pros will have to learn new ways of creating and deploying systems and applications. With a hybrid approach, IT pros will be challenged with managing a unified system running on different infrastructure in different places. For SaaS, the challenge will largely revolve around ensuring performance with only the data and management options provided by the vendor along with integration of the information provided by that vendor with other cloud or on premise systems to meet business objectives.
In light of these challenges and a few others, here are several steps IT pros need to take to survive in the services-based world:
- Understand cloud services and technologies: As a starting point, IT pros need to know the key cloud services options available - SaaS, PaaS and IaaS. But it's not enough just to understand the options, it's important to determine what options work best for the business. For example, a small business that uses standard applications may benefit from SaaS, but larger enterprises that use a multitude of applications both standard and custom may benefit from a combination of services such as IaaS and PaaS. IT pros need to empower themselves to build and implement these solutions while also ensuring they're operating at optimal performance levels.
- Ensure proper application and system integration: IT pros need to develop new skills around integrating cloud services with existing internal business systems or other cloud services to meet company-specific needs. If a company plans to primarily use cloud in a hybrid approach, IT pros will need to understand both their traditional job, how a related SaaS, IaaS or PaaS solution works and how to integrate them.
- Become an IT security guru: While the cloud isn't necessarily less secure than on-premise systems, the security implications and risks of the cloud are slightly different. IT pros will need to learn the different cloud design models and related security tools available to help build a strong solution and increase confidence from business leaders.
- Develop business skills: Understanding cloud technologies, their security implications and how to integrate applications and systems is crucial. Yet, IT pros need to take it to the next level and ensure IT priorities align with business objectives and needs. This skill is especially important as SaaS-type applications allow more IT decisions to be made by business people without the current levels of dependency on IT. Being able to understand the implementation, operations, management, integration and security of cloud systems in context of business requirements will be a valuable skill indeed.
Cloud computing is only one of the many emerging technologies impacting the way IT works today, but it is perhaps the most pervasive. IT pros must remain nimble, learning new skills and adapting to new technology trends while also understanding how these trends align with business strategies. This will empower IT pros to continually adapt their role and take a seat at the table as business bottom lines become increasingly reliant on technology.

ICv2 continued to find widespread optimism throughout the comics and graphic novel business despite a flat Spring season, according to a report in the recently released ICv2's Internal Correspondence #85. In the book channel, graphic novel sales remain strong, especially relative to other book categories, with graphic novels for young readers growing the fastest of all.
In comic stores, the mood remains positive because despite small declines in periodical sales, the flattening is at a very high level relative to a few years ago, and sales on graphic novels, including manga, are stronger than periodicals on a year over year basis. Retailers are also finding two broad trends encouraging: the broadening of comic shop demographics, and the continuing strength shown by second tier publishers.
Concerns from comic retailers revolve around their second largest supplier, DC Comics, which is about to undertake a potentially disruptive move to the west coast early next year, and where Bob Wayne, one of the biggest advocates and defenders of the comic store channel, is set to retire rather than relocate to California. As Things from Another World's Andrew McIntire put it, "I can't see how his departure could be anything but a loss for the industry as a whole and DC in particular."
This issue also contains the new market size estimate for comics and graphic novels, which reached $870 million in the U.S. and Canada last year (see "Comics and Graphic Novel Market Hits $870 Million").
And here's a list of ICv2's bestseller charts of the top graphic novel properties across eight categories for Spring (January-April) 2014, which appeared in Internal Correspondence #85:
Top 10 Genre Graphic Novel Properties--Spring 2014

The anti-globalization and anti-trade rhetoric of the U.S. presidential election has become a primary economic threat to emerging countries, according to Bloomberg's Mohamed A. El-Erian .
United States GDP grew slightly more than initially expected in the first quarter of 2016, and durable goods orders ticked up in April, according to the most recent data from the Department of Commerce.
Meanwhile, the struggling South Korean ocean carrier said in a statement Sunday it expects to reach an agreement with ship owners regarding charter rate renegotiations "soon."

Lawrence restaurant selected for national breakfast test; questions emerge about what you can store in your yard; cell tower awaiting approval
Any test that involves breakfast, I'm game for. After all, my most frequent classroom in college was the cafeteria, and my majors were biscuits and gravy, bacon and elastic waistbands. All this is to say that Lawrence is among a handful of cities where McDonald's is testing the concept of all-day breakfast menus.
Patrick Manning, a spokesman for the local McDonald's franchise, said the test began last week and likely will last into September.
"The students obviously get back around Aug. 1, and we think it is going to be very popular with them," Manning said.
McDonald's this spring began testing the concept in San Diego. Manning said the Lawrence franchise shortly thereafter sought corporate approval to run a test here. The exact number of markets that are being allowed to test the all-day breakfast menu hasn't been released, but Manning described it as only a "handful" of cities across the country. He said Lawrence is the only one in the Kansas City region.
Traditionally, most McDonald's restaurants serve breakfast from 4 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., although the Lawrence franchise several years ago received corporate approval to serve until 11:30 a.m.
"People love breakfast in Lawrence," Manning said. "The test is off to a great start."
The all-day menu is a bit smaller than the morning breakfast menu. Right now it includes primarily breakfast burritos, hotcakes, egg McMuffins and similar breakfast sandwiches.
In other news and notes from around town:
• Let's get caught up on some City Hall happenings. Commissioners met from 3 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. on Tuesday, which produced more discussion than I was able to fit into the next day's article. So, here's a look at some other City Hall items.
— We saw the power of green on Tuesday night. As I previously reported, commissioners had an item related to potential code violations at 1145 Pennsylvania St. The site is the home of Cosmic Beauty School, which practices urban farming and promotes sustainability. As part of that business, it has some exterior storage, which has drawn a complaint from at least one neighbor. City inspectors have said the storage is in violation of the city's property maintenance code.
Commissioners were receiving an update on the property at their Tuesday meeting, and they also received an earful from fans of urban farming and sustainability. It became clear on Tuesday that commissioners weren't going to take any action that made them look like they weren't in full support of such issues.
But how commissioners distanced themselves from the issue has brought up questions about whether enforcement of the city's property maintenance code is on shaky ground.
Here are some photos the city has taken of the property. It certainly does not rank among the worst offenders of the property maintenance code in the city. But you will notice that there is a pile of bricks in what essentially is the front yard of the business. Actually, the bricks are on the city's right-of-way. They're very near the street. If you run your car into them, they have become a new type of traffic-calming device. There's also wood pallets stacked in the right of way, and those big white structures are tanks to catch rainwater.
Commissioners looked at those pictures and received the report from their enforcement staff. Here's the key reaction:
"I think we have lots of time on our hands if we are going after people with piles of pallets and bricks in their yard," Commissioner Matthew Herbert told staff members, to the cheers of those in the audience.
The other four commissioners really didn't say anything to bring any element of moderation to those comments. So, that has left some interesting questions. Is it just old bricks and pallets that I can store in my front yard, or is it any type of construction material? How about old shingles off my roof or piles of lumber that I'm sure I'll get around to using at some point? Do I have to stack it neatly or can I use my preferred organizational method, which recognizes the power of randomly shaped piles? Can my pile only take up 5 percent of my front yard or can it take up 50 percent of my front yard? And, I'm assuming, there's no problem here if my yard happens to be in a neighborhood surrounded by homes that are $400,000 or $500,000 in West Lawrence.
I understand the unique nature of the business at 1145 Pennsylvania St. Folks who are serious about running an urban farm are going to have nontraditional items in their yard. Staff noted piles of tomato cages and a couple of hay bales. There was a brief discussion about whether the city needs to add some provisions to its code book that address urban farming. But Herbert's comments seemed to be of a different nature. They left staff members wondering whether the City Commission wants certain parts of the property maintenance code enforced anywhere.
"We would appreciate having a discussion about the property maintenance code in the future because staff is trying to enforce what is written today," said Interim City Manager Diane Stoddard.
It should be an interesting debate. I'm sure there are differences of opinion about what constitutes proper aesthetics in a yard, but I've also heard others talk about how piles of wood are fire hazards, piles of bricks are environments for rodents, and how piles of material stacked up right against a street are a danger to motorists. I've also heard people say the city's property maintenance code is so broad that basically everyone is technically in violation of it at some point.
Commissioners directed staff to hold in abeyance any enforcement measures against the property owners until the city has had a chance to have such a discussion about the property maintenance code.
– Commissioners also had on their agenda a discussion about a new roundabout proposed for Wakarusa and Harvard in West Lawrence. Commissioners, though, deferred that discussion because it became apparent the meeting already was going to be extremely long. Look for that discussion to take place at the July 7 City Commission meeting.
– If you are interested in the future of a new wireless phone tower in East Lawrence, mark your calendars for the July 14 City Commission meeting. That is the tentative date that commissioners will consider a request from Verizon Wireless to build a 120-foot tower on property near the Ottawa Co-op grain elevators. The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission recommended approval of the plans. Neighbors previously had objected to a different set of plans that called for a cell tower at 1725 Bullene Ave. The City Commission rejected those plans, and Verizon has sued the city over that rejection. Whether approval of these new tower plans makes that lawsuit go away is unclear, but it might. The new 120-foot tower would be about 400 feet away from the grain elevator, which is about 130 feet tall.
Bedbugs on the radar screen of city officials; new ordinance would allow City Hall to create rules to exterminate pests
And here you thought property maintenance just meant keeping the grass mowed, the house painted, the roof shingled, and other such matters.
Well, add one more item to the chore list: Controlling bedbugs.
City commissioners at their meeting on Tuesday are scheduled to approve a new ordinance that will get the ball rolling on creating regulations to control bedbug infestations in the city.
Commissioners are creating a new "Property Maintenance Code." Most of the code provisions are just a rewrite and combination of two different sections that existed in the city's building permit codes and in the city's general code book.
But the city doesn't have much on the books in terms of how property owners must treat bedbug infestations. The new code doesn't create a specific set of requirements, but rather gives the city's director of planning and development services the authority to create specific regulations on how bedbugs should be dealt with.
Lawrence has had some issues with the pests, which frequently live in mattresses or clothes and create health risks by biting and sucking the blood of their victims.
We reported in 2010 a spike in the number of bedbug complaints in the city. That was about the time that bedbug infestations were starting to get publicity in other parts of the country as well.
In a memo to commissioners, city staff members argue that the city should get involved with the regulation of bedbug extermination because the pests can quickly grow into a citywide problem. The pests can embed themselves in clothing, mattresses or furniture that may be moved from one residence to another.
Lawrence may be at particular risk for bedbug infestations because of the number of students who move in and out of the community or who travel home and unknowingly may bring the bedbugs back with them. Our 2010 article noted that KU officials had spent some time talking with students about the risks of bedbugs, and how to prevent their spread.
I'm not sure what the situation is today with the number of bedbug cases in the city, but I'll check with the proper officials and report back.
I suspect people who have had bedbug infestations will appreciate the city getting involved in the issue. According to the last article we wrote, it sounds like figuring out how to get rid of the pests can be confusing. It also sounds like it can be expensive. Back in 2010, one exterminator estimated that a typical heat treatment — a process where the infested area is heated to about 130 degrees — would cost more than $500.
While reading through the code about bedbugs, I also found several other items of note about what the city requires in terms of property maintenance. I don't think any of these are really new requirements, but under the new code, they may become easier to enforce. Here's a look at a few:
• Here's the list of no-no's that you should not allow to accumulate in your yard or on your porch or deck: lumber, wire, metal, tires, concrete, masonry products, plastic products, supplies, equipment, machinery, auto parts, stoves, refrigerators, televisions, sinks, garbage, refuse, junk, or the like.
• No person shall allow in their yard a dead or substantially dead tree.
• Water from a sump pump shall not be discharged at a point closer than five feet from any adjoining property line.
• Essentially every window used to ventilate a room should have an insect screen.
• "Leaning, buckling, sagging or deteriorating" fences shall be repaired. Any fence that was painted and now has "chipping, peeling, scaling or missing paint" on at least 20 percent of its area shall be repainted or stripped and given a water-resistant coating.
• It is against the code to put out your city-issued trash cart before 7 a.m. the day before your scheduled trash day. It also is against the code to leave your trash cart out at the curb for longer than 24 hours after your trash has been picked up.
• It is legal to store your city trash cart outside your house or garage, but the code says it should be stored no farther than three feet from the exterior wall of your house or shed. In other words, storing it in the middle of your yard would be a violation.
One thing that this new code isn't expected to change is that most of these property maintenance code violation matters are dealt with on a complaint bases. In other words, the city doesn't send out inspectors to search for such violation, as a general rule. The city also has taken an approach of trying to get property owners to simply remedy the violation rather than writing an actual ticket. But the code does allow for Municipal Court fines for $100 to $500 for violations of the code.

Holiday cottages in England need little introduction. After all, a cottage break is really the quintessential English holiday, and we think there are few better ways to explore the wonderful history and heritage the country has to offer. But with so many beautiful locations – and so much to see and do – your only problem may be deciding where to enjoy your break. With that in mind we're going to make a few suggestions for some of our favourite English locations and activities.
Choose one of our featured English cottages in the north and you could explore the unrivalled beauty of the Lakes. This gloriously unspoiled region has been attracting visitors for hundreds of years. In fact, you only have to look at the effect it's had over some of the country's most influential poets and artists to gauge its beauty!
Alternatively, the south of England isn't short of beauty either. Whether its Dorset's stunning Jurassic coastline or the sleepy charms of the Cotswolds, you won't be short of beautiful views and unrivalled tranquillity. Then again, if you like it loud and lively you'll find some of Europe's most vibrant urban hotspots to explore and enjoy. London is obviously a huge draw with tourists and holidaymakers but you're guaranteed a fantastic cosmopolitan experience in some of England's other major cities too: Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, York, Chester and more all offer wonderful shopping with fine dining and some justly celebrated heritage.
England's landscape is as varied as it is beautiful, so you won't be surprised to find it's suitable for a wealth of different breaks. If you fancy beaches then you'll be spoiled for choice with the golden sands of Cornwall and Devon, the wild shorelines of Northumberland or the traditional seaside heritage of Great Yarmouth, Brighton and Blackpool. Further inland you have a variety of beautiful wide-open expanses to enjoy, with or without your four-legged friends. From the rolling limestone hills of the Yorkshire Dales to the flats of Somerset, there are walks and to suit all ages and abilities. England's history is long and varied and there are wonderful heritage attractions located all over the country, from stately homes and castles to museums, railways and festivals. In short, English holiday cottages are suitable for anyone who's keen to relax and enjoy a wealth of options in some of the most stunning surrounds you could wish for.
If you're ready to begin your exploration, take a look at our featured holiday cottages in England today.

Located in a tranquil, rural setting on the beautiful Bere Peninsula, the tiny hamlet of Hewton nestles within a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the rolling fields that run down to the Tamar Estuary, which forms the Devon/Cornwall border. The properties are superbly appointed and a real credit to the owners. From the extensive 5-acre gardens there are the most spectacular views down the valley and over the river where yachts lie moored. The owners' formal garden is beautifully landscaped and is home to many unusual and exotic plants, a koi pond and large, mature trees. The outdoor heated swimming pool is surrounded by decking and there are sun loungers and garden furniture for guests to relax on and admire the view. There is a large field towards the bottom of the gardens and a mature wooded valley. These properties offer complete tranquil relaxation in a truly picturesque setting - ideal for couples as well as those with children.

ARMONK, N.Y. and DALLAS, Feb. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) and AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) today announced an expanded relationship to provide software developers with a set of powerful new tools to create and deploy next generation mobile apps. Customers benefit from access to secure, high quality apps, including those featuring advanced speech recognition and mobile payment capabilities, which can transform how they engage in everyday activities.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO )
AT&T has been expanding its network capabilities and increasing access to research from AT&T Labs across a range of mobile development platforms, including IBM Worklight. Part of the IBM MobileFirst Application and Data Platform, IBM Worklight is an open, comprehensive and advanced mobile app platform for mobile devices.
Now, the AT&T API Platform, featuring IBM Worklight Adapters, will enable the more than 31,000 members of the AT&T Developer Program to quickly create and securely deploy enterprise apps that improve subscriber engagement and customer loyalty. With these adapters that support AT&T's ecosystem of APIs including those for speech, SMS, device capabilities, notary management and payment, developers can quickly and securely create rich, business-ready apps across a variety of platforms including iOS, Android and Windows.
"AT&T is committed to the success of our rapidly growing developer community. By expanding our platform's reach and making our API toolkit available on an expanding number of platforms, including IBM Worklight, our developers have the information, tools and resources to continue to build great things and contribute to the mobile ecosystem in meaningful new ways," said Carlton Hill, vice president, developer services, AT&T.
The agreement between IBM and AT&T is timely as Communication Service Providers (CSPs) are faced with the challenge of providing a more personalized mobile experience for their customers and meeting rising demand for quick access to services and innovative apps. Some of the various opportunities enabled by the AT&T Worklight adapters include:
- Efficient Family Communication: Use voicemail-to-text features to transcribe family voicemails, and then post the voice notes to a centralized area for all family members to see.
- Customizable Mobile Payments: Organizations gain the flexibility to control the look and feel of how they present purchase options as well as how they deliver digital goods to the customer.
- Empowered Mobile Workforce: Teams in the field can communicate more efficiently, using SMS to communicate with customers, submit orders and check delivery status.
The AT&T APIs provide the global mobile development community with easy-to-use on-ramps that accelerate app development. The IBM developerWorks community will benefit from a single, easily accessible source of trusted mobile and telecommunications content via the AT&T Developer Program to streamline development processes. Additionally, members of the AT&T developer community using the pre-built IBM Worklight Adapters can further reduce time to market, cost and complexity of development and enable a better user experience across a variety of mobile devices.
"As the business opportunities associated with mobile technologies move beyond the device to the enterprise, we must continue to invest in tools and resources that enable developers to create apps that meet changing demands. Our partners at AT&T share this commitment to building out the mobile development ecosystem and driving more value from mobile technologies," said Phil Buckellew, vice president, mobile strategy, IBM. "With access to some of the most powerful development tools in the industry, developers will now be better able to help organizations accelerate and monetize their mobile strategies."

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization).
