This past July the Physical Society of Japan and the Japan Society of Applied Physics organized the 12th triennial Asia Pacific Physics Conference (APPC12) under the auspices of the Association of Asia Pacific Physical Societies (AAPPS) in Makuhari, Chiba, Japan. APPC12 presented the most recent developments in physics in the Asia-Pacific region across a range of physics disciplines–condensed matter, nuclear and particle physics, neutron and synchrotron radiation science, plasma science, and computational physics. With respect to broadening participation in physics, sessions also included physics education and the topic of women in physics. APPC12 also provided an ideal occasion for the third Asia-Europe Physics Summit (ASEPS3), a collaboration between AAPPS and the European Physical Society (EPS).
The Asia-Europe Physics Summit, which alternates between the two continents, is an extended opportunity for organizational and intellectual leaders in the respective physics societies to discuss research in the context of strengthening collaboration between Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. The goals of the Summit are threefold: 1) To discuss the scientific priorities and the common infrastructure that could be shared between European and Asian countries in various fields of physics research; 2) To establish a dedicated framework to increase the level of Euro-Asia collaborations in the next two decades; 3) To engage developing countries in a broad range of physics research.
The public program of ASEP3 included a plenary program with speakers from Europe to cover the latest physics results at the LHC, plasmonics that merges photonics with nanotechnology, fiber accelerators, and climate engineering –truly a broad range of topics to excite conference participants. Looking to future developments in physics without borders, ASEPS complemented the plenary lectures with four roundtable discussions that provided an intense exchange of ideas on topics for Asia-Europe cooperation, especially on the timely issue of international strategic planning for large research facilities worldwide.
Thanks to the initiative of EPS past-President Luisa Cifarelli, who has also been involved with APS as a member of both the Executive Committee of the APS Forum on International Physics (FIP) and the APS Committee on International Scientific Affairs (CISA), this year's Summit included a significant US perspective. In Round Table 1, which was moderated by Tastsuya Nakada, Scientific Secretary for the European Strategy Session of the CERN Council, William Barletta, Past-chair of FIP and the APS Division of Physics of Beams discussed the technologies for both high energy physics and photon science based on his service as convener for the Accelerator Capabilities Study in the APS DPF Snowmass process and facilities prioritization sub-panel for the U.S. Department of Energy Basic Energy Sciences Advisory Committee. European perspectives in these areas were given by Massimo Altarelli, Managing Director of European XFEL, and Frédérick Bordry, future CERN Director of Accelerator and Technology; the Asian contributions concentrated on the possibility of a large linear collider project and were given by Jie Gao, Chair of the Asian Linear Collider Steering Committee and Akira Yamamoto, ILC GDE Project Manager, KEK, and Yifang Wang, Director of the Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The strategy for the next generation of large-scale facilities must be driven primarily by an emphasis on the unity of interests of the relevant scientific user communities. Such a view of "big tent science" can make a strong case for cost-effective technical capabilities, that is, a broad scientific return on investment, including power efficiency, growth potential of the infrastructure, and flexibility to address evolving scientific priorities and science cases for upgrades and programmatic priorities. Whether for high-energy and nuclear physics or for photon and neutron science, the shared technologies of future large-scale facilities must deliver extreme temporal and positional precision and stability of particle and photon beams; facilities will generate very large data sets, stressing the importance of both data processing and data storage.
Looking to the issues of policy and cooperation inherent in the next generation of large facilities, Round Table 2 offered perspectives concerning future LHC operations from Sergio Bertolucci, Director for Research and Scientific Computing at CERN; the next steps toward an International Linear Collider from the head of the Linear Collider Collaboration, Lyn Evans; and progress toward the Rare Isotope Science Project in Korea from Sun-Kee Kim, Director of the Institute for Basic Science. Shoji Nagamiya, AAPPS President, described the perspective from J-PARC; Guenther Rosner, FAIR Managing Director for Research and Administration, progress toward the FAIR facility at GSI Darmstadt, and James Strait, representing the Fermilab Directorate, the policy issues in moving toward a robust design of the LBNE facility.
Large-scale facilities provide the opportunity and the necessity to demonstrate the excitement of forefront science, as well as its economic and societal value to both decision-makers and to the general public. Round Table 4 examined the responsibility of large facilities to undertake education and outreach programs and the impact these activities have had in different circumstances and locations around the world. Neil Calder of the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (past-head of Communication at CERN, SLAC and ITER) emphasized the ways in which large facilities can and must build trust with the public both by sharing the excitement of the scientific and technological enterprise and by being transparent with respect to issues of facility safety and prudent operation. Education programs based on the research undertaken at large facilities can help to inspire young people to study science and pursue a research career; of particular note is the EPS Young Minds (EPSYM) project which was described by its new leader Antigone Marino of the University of Naples Federico II. This program could be considered for emulation in the US by the APS.
Representing the US Particle Accelerator School and the Joint US-CERN-KEK- Russia Accelerator School, William Barletta explained that whether as locations for scientific mega-experiments or as giant tents over myriad small science experiments, the success of large scientific facilities depends on a confluence of four principal factors: 1) a continual influx of highly trained scientists and technologists to build and operate devices with unprecedented levels of performance; 2) a technically savvy user community, which can provide the science pull for new capability and capacity and can then deliver transformative scientific results; 3) well trained scientific executives who can inspire and lead highly creative staff and manage large technological risks; and 4) an engaged public which will be excited by and supportive of the science enterprise. In the face of a widespread lack of university training programs in the technology of accelerator-based science facilities, laboratories with a broad national and international charter have formed alliances with major research universities to provide the core education in science, technology and management skills needed for such laboratories to flourish and to provide rich programs of scientific research of broad benefit to society.
Round Table 3 described the opportunity for a worldwide collaboration of physics societies for the year 2015 as an International Year of Light under the auspices of UNESCO and the United Nations. The Year of Light would highlight how light technologies have revolutionized society through medicine and communications, entertainment and culture, and how they are major economic drivers and provide solutions to global challenges in energy and education both in industrialized and developing countries.
Though ASEPS3 was not explicitly a worldwide physics summit, it did open the door for a very broad engagement by physics societies to build global collaboration, to increase the scientific return on societal investment and to spread the benefits of forefront physics research to developing countries. These goals are appropriate for programs of strong multi-lateral cooperation of physics societies that exemplify our ideal of open science without secrecy and without borders.

Cell phone fraud
Cellular fraud (cell fraud) is defined as the unauthorized use, tampering, or manipulation of a cellular phone or service. At one time, cloning of cellular phones accounted for a large portion of cell fraud. As a result, the Wireless Telephone Protection Act of 1998 expanded prior law to criminalize the use, possession, manufacture or sale of cloning hardware or software. Currently, the primary type of cell fraud is subscriber fraud. The cellular industry estimates that carriers lose more than $150 million per year due to subscriber fraud.
What is Subscriber Fraud?
Subscriber fraud occurs when someone signs up for service with fraudulently-obtained customer information or false identification. Lawbreakers obtain your personal information and use it to set up a cell phone account in your name.
Resolving subscriber fraud could develop into a long and difficult process for victims. It may take time to discover that subscriber fraud has occurred and an even longer time to prove that you did not incur the debts. Call your carrier if you think you have been a victim of subscriber fraud.
What is Cell Phone Cloning Fraud?
Every cell phone is supposed to have a unique factory-set electronic serial number (ESN) and telephone number (MIN). A cloned cell phone is one that has been reprogrammed to transmit the ESN and MIN belonging to another (legitimate) cell phone. Unscrupulous people can obtain valid ESN/MIN combinations by illegally monitoring the radio wave transmissions from the cell phones of legitimate subscribers. After cloning, both the legitimate and the fraudulent cell phones have the same ESN/MIN combination and cellular systems cannot distinguish the cloned cell phone from the legitimate one. The legitimate phone user then gets billed for the cloned phones calls. Call your carrier if you think you have been a victim of cloning fraud.
Remember, to prevent subscriber fraud, make sure that your personal information is kept private when purchasing anything in a store or on the Internet. Protecting your personal information is your responsibility. For cell phone cloning fraud, the cellular equipment manufacturing industry has deployed authentication systems that have proven to be a very effective countermeasure to cloning. Call your cellular phone carrier for more information.

One World Trade Center becomes NYC's tallest building
(CNN) -- More than a decade after a terrorist attack brought down New York's twin towers, their under-construction replacement became the city's tallest building on Monday.
The placement of a column of the 100th floor brought the colossal new steel structure of One World Trade Center tower to a height of 1,271 feet -- surpassing the frame of the Empire State Building, which is currently New York's tallest skyscraper, by 21 feet.
Built on what was referred to as ground zero in Lower Manhattan, the building is expected to reach 1,776 feet when it is finished by early 2014. The Willis Tower in Chicago, formerly known as the Sears Tower, is the country's current record holder at 1,450 feet.
The One World Trade Center building will have three top-floor observation decks. Its first 90 floors will be designated for office space, and the following 10 floors will be reserved for air conditioning, heating, and electrical equipment.
Despite years of political infighting and real estate squabbling that delayed its construction, more than half of the building has now been rented, with a tenant list that includes Conde Nast publishing company and a Chinese real estate investment firm called Vantone Holdings.
In its shadow, twin reflecting pools are situated in the footprints of where the twin towers once stood.
The names of the nearly 3,000 people killed in the 2001 attacks, as well as six people who died in the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, are emblazoned across bronze panels ringing the pools.
The steel beams were placed atop the structure on Monday, one day before the one-year anniversary of Osama bin Laden's death. The project is bringing a major milestone to the city and country, said Mike Mennella, the construction executive who was in charge of building the first towers and is helping to build the new structure.
"Today is a day where we can really look back and say the milestones we've surpassed and overcome are certainly more significant than the ones ahead of us," he said. "The building is in position now where we can see it coming from the top, and see it being finished off in a very, very significant way."
As the man who built the first towers, only to watch them fall during the terrorist attacks, Mennella knows just how important it is to be able to rebuild and start a new chapter in lower Manhattan.
"It's also big in the region," he said. "Seeing this building from all over the region -- Long Island, New Jersey, New York -- it's just a statement for the region that we've reached a real milestone."
Mennella said he came to the site on September 12, 2001, amid the devastation and always hoped he'd be able to be part of an effort to rebuild. He felt it wasn't just about rebuilding an icon of New York's skyline, but about helping heal and move forward.
"I think as people look at the building from afar and then realize the site that it sits on, the memorial it adjoins and what the site is about, what was lost here, and what is now being put back together -- it's an exciting moment," he said.

This is the final installment of a three-part series on the Internet of Things with Atmel's Tom Vu and Internet of Things Council member Michael Koster. Read Part 1 here.
Tom Vu (TV): Describe how Internet of Things matters? Why should anyone care? Should futurist, technologist, data hounds, product extraordinaires, executives, and common consumer need to understand what's to come?
Michael Koster (MK):
There are two main effects we see in the Internet of Things. First, things are connected to a service that manages them. We can now monitor things, predict when they break, know when they are being used or not, and in general begin to exploit things as managed resources.
The second, bigger effect comes from the Metcalfe effect, or simply the network effect, of connecting things together. Bob Metcalfe once stated that the value of a communications network is proportional to the square of the number of connected compatible communicating devices. Since then it's used to refer to users, but maybe Bob was thinking way ahead. Notice the word compatible. In this context, it means to be able to meaningfully exchange data.
When we connect physical objects to the network, and connect them together in such a way as to manage them as a larger system, we can exploit the Metcalfe effect applied to the resources. We are converting capital assets into managed resources and then applying network management.
Because Internet of Things will be built as a physical graph, it's socialization of everything, from simple everyday devices to industrial devices. Metcalfe states that 10X connections is 100 times the value. Cisco is projecting that the Internet of Everything has the potential to grow global corporate profits by 21 percent in aggregate by 2022. I believe these represent a case for pure information on one end, and an average efficiency gain over all of industry on the other.
This has the potential to change things from a scarcity model, where the value is in restricting access to resources, thus driving up price, to a distribution centered model, where value is in the greater use of the resource. Connecting things to the network is going to reverse the model, from a model of "excluding access" to "inclusion access", a model where you push toward better experience for consumer/customer/co-business.
Crowdsourcing of things is an example, where models are inverted. The power arrow is going in the opposite direction, a direction equalizing toward the benefit of the massive body consumers and people. This in turn, helps shift the business model from a customer relationship managed by vendors, also called advertising, to vendor relationship managed by customers. This is called Vendor Relationship Management, or VRM, pioneered by Doc Searls. This reverses the power arrow to point from customer needs toward business capability to meet needs, and needs are met now that the vendor is listening. A lot of this is not just IoT but also open source nature, and the big changes happening in people, where sharing being held more valuable than the exclusion of access.
Inverting the value model, breaking down artificially bloated value chains, creating a more efficient economy, I believe it important to create a layer of connectivity that will act as the necessary catalyst to the next Internet of Everything, Internet of Things, Industrial Internet. Break down the scarcity-based models, exclusion of access, turn it around. Instead of excluding access and driving prices up for limited resources, we will yield higher more efficient utilization of resources.
It matters on a Global Scale, by giving us better resource utilization. SMART Grid alone has resulted in up to 19.5 percent efficiency improvement, with an average of 3.8 percent improvement over all deployments already. We do not have enough energy storage or transmission capacity to deal with the major shift to solar energy sources now in progress worldwide. We are going to have to adapt, learn, monitor, manage, and control our usage in ways only possible with large scale sensing and control.
For the spirit of IoT, it's not only in making peoples/consumers lives more convenient, solving their first world problems, but its more in the ability to manage resources together as a larger system, from the individual out to a global scale. Especially, this holds true with the effects of globalization, balancing, localization, connectivity, and ubiquity. It's for the people. Social Media had it's transformation across many things, Internet of Things will also have an efficiency and business transformation.
Companies like Atmel play an important role in creating the building blocks for embedded control and connectivity by means of progressing the ARM / AVR / Wireless / Touch portfolio of products, all of which are the necessary thinking and connecting glue of the Internet of Things. Internet of Things has a large appetite for ultra low power connectivity using wireless standards. Wireless Sensor Networks are key technology for the IoT, so much that WSN was probably the number one issue in the early deployment. There are many competing standards: Zigbee, SA100.11, WirelessHART, IrDA, Wireless USB, Bluetooth, Body Area Network, MiWi, Wi-Fi Direct, NFC, Z-Wave, EnOcean, KNX, XRF, Bluetooth, WiFi, RFID, RFM12B, IEEE 802.15.4 (supporting WPAN such as ZigBee, ISA100.11a, WirelessHART, IrDA, Wireless USB, Bluetooth, Z-wave, Body Area Network, and MiWi).
Tom Vu (TV): What would be the most important design decision that supersedes the eventual success of an open source Internet of Things compliance?
Michael Koster (MK):
The first most important decisions are to do open source design based on needs and use cases. I don't think we can build an IoT if its not open source, or if it's not connected to the real world use cases.
Tom Vu (TV): Describe the importance of Internet of Things silos and other M2M standards currently at large in the development community? What are the differences?
Michael Koster (MK):
The IoT has started off fueled by crowdfunding, VC money and other sources that have to some extent built on a business model based on vertical integration. Vertical integration has a big advantage; you need to have a self-contained development to get things done quickly for proof of concept and demonstration.
Vertical integration is also a big driver of the current machine-to-machine, or M2M, communication market. This is the paradigm supporting the initial deployment of connecting things to services for management on an individual thing basis.
The downside of vertical integration is that it leads to silos, where the code developed for a system, the data collected, and even the user interfaces are all unique to the system and not reusable in other systems. Moreover, the vertical integration is often seen as a proprietary advantage and protected through patents and copyrights that are relatively weak because they apply to commonly known patterns and methods.
It's not always this way, though. As an example, the Eclipse foundation is open source, allowing their M2M system to be used for vertical application development as well as integrated with IoT Toolkit data models and APIs to enable interoperability with other platforms.
The European Telecommunications Standardization Institute, or ETSI, also has an M2M gateway that is a combination of open source and paid license code. New features are enabled through Global Enablers or GEs that implement a particular function using an OSGi bundle consisting of Java code. The Smart Object API can be built into ETSI through a GE bundle, which will enable an ETSI M2M instance to interoperate with other IoT Toolkit instances. This is the power of the approach we're taking for interoperability, which is obtained by adding a Smart Object API layer to the system.
Tom Vu (TV): Explain horizontal and service interoperability for Internet of Things, why is it so important?
Michael Koster (MK):
Connected things connect through WSN gateways and routers to Internet services that fulfill the application logic for the user. Today, for the most part, each vendor provides a cloud service for the devices they sell, e.g. Twine, Smart Things, or the Nest thermostat. There are also some cloud services that allow any connection, providing an API for anyone to connect, for the purpose of integrating multiple devices. But the dedicated devices mentioned earlier don't work with the generic cloud services.
Many IoT services today are based on providing easy access to the devices and gateway, with open source client code and reference hardware designs, selling hardware on thin margins, and Kickstarter campaigns. There is typically a proprietary cloud service with a proprietary or ad-hoc API from the device or gateway to the service, and a structured API to the service offering "cooked" data.
These systems contain a highly visible open source component, but much of the functionality comes from the cloud service. If a user wishes to use the open source part of the system with another service, the APIs will need to be adapted on either the device/gateway end or service end, or both. It's not exactly a lock-in, but there is a fairly steep barrier to user choice.
There is the beginning of an ecosystem here, where some devices are being built to use existing services, e.g. Good Night Lamp uses Cosm as their cloud service. Other services that allow open API connectivity include Thingworx and Digi Device Cloud. These services all use very similar RESTful APIs to JSON and XML objects, but have different underlying data models. As a result, sensors and gateways must be programmed for each service they need to interact with.
The current system also leaves users vulnerable to outages of a single provider. Even if there was a programmable cloud service that all could connect to that ran user applications, there would be a vulnerability to provider outages. Much better and more robust would be an ability to configure more than one service provider in parallel in an application graph, for a measure of robustness in the face of service outages. Even more, it should be possible to run user application code in IoT gateways, local user-owned servers, or user-managed personal cloud services. Today's infrastructure and business models are at odds with this level of robustness for users.
In terms of business and business models, a lot of the connection and network infrastructure today was built on a "value chain" model. These are businesses that are built on a model of vertical integration. In these models, value is added by integrating services together to serve one function, hence vertical. With the Internet of Things, traditional value chains are collapsing down and flattening. There is a bit of a disruption in the business model (services, etc), but also new opportunities emerge to create new Internet of Things services, which is good for business and consumers.
Companies will continue to build out vertical models to specialize in their services. IoT can potentially augment service models with the customer even further and offer creative possibilities of cost savings and experience and deploy more customer centric business fabrics, which will result in better service for consumers.
If companies build their vertically based infrastructure of applications integrating into the IoT Toolkit platform, the basic enablement for horizontal connections will already exist, making it easy to create horizontal, integrative applications based on automatic resource discovery and linkage.
Access to the knowledge/information can enhance the customer experience and ROI for businesses. We are at the brink of the new era, where companies and products can arise from the information economy; only now motivation via implicit or explicit engagement is tied to things, assets, information, sensors, education, and augmentation; and everything is more intertwined and involved.
Tom Vu (TV): Please assume the role of a futurist or even contemporary pragmatist. How does the landscape of Internet of Things fit into that picture for an individual?
Michael Koster (MK):
It goes back to the idea that your life is going to change in ways that we are no longer be driven by the scarcity pressures we experienced as hunter gatherers. IoT will trigger the overall shift from the resource accumulative, to the interaction driven and resource sharing-enjoying model due to the ubiquitous connectivity and the right kind of applications we can use to bring this experience to maturity.
We expect the Internet of Things to be where the interaction moves away from screens and becomes more like everyday life, only more convenient, comfortable, and easy to manage. We're still looking for the valet, the system that simply helps us manage things to enable us to become more as people.
Tom Vu (TV): Do you have any insights into how industries like Semi-Conductor can help share the responsibility of making Internet of Things for the People and by the People?
Michael Koster (MK):
Yes, of course, everyone has a part in the build up and build out of Internet of Things. From business to academia, in the home and across the planet, the march to Internet of Things is inevitable. Again and again, the familiar signs of disruption are being seen. We see that happening today with the very first initial releases of connected products. There is a movement in makers, with substantial global activity. Which is quite harmonious to open source and open hardware. This will be even wider spread once critical mass takes effect with products more and more becoming connected and smart via Internet. The power of the sensor proliferation is akin to Twitter having 10 people registered and using their Social Fabric versus 100s of millions. The more everyday devices and things are connected, the more the power of IoT will overwhelmingly surface.
It's only how well we integrate and collaborate together across industry to propel this next phase of Internet to the next level. Every potential disruptive technology has a turning point. We are at that point and we are all part of this movement. In turn, the Internet of Things will make better products, a better user experience, and optimized efficiency across all resources. How we decide to apply this technology will make all the difference.
This very notion forces industries to be more aware, efficient, and productive. Sensors and connected devices will help supply chain, manufacturing, research, product roadmaps, experience, and ultimately drive an economy of growth. The enterprise begins to have a visibility, transparency to customers, people. Ultimate, it's a true nervous system, connected via an enterprise level to a personal consumer level.
SMART, AWARE, and SENSORY are new enhancements to business to include customer habits and patterns of use, threaded right into the production routine and product design. Internet of Things will help sculpt a more consumer oriented and customer centric world of products. Customers will have direct influence in the manufacturing of individual products and instances of products. Companies can help by being part of the community, albeit in the field of electrical engineering, design, data, to software development on the cloud. Internet of Things will have touch points between customers and business as much as the electrical power grids have influence across all business today.
The new ecosystem will have micro scale and agile manufacturing at a level of customization unimaginable today. It's the next driver for brilliant machines, maybe artisan-machines that work for individuals but still live on the factory floor.
You can work with the developers and work toward expanding businesses that can embrace the development world. Help build the $50 cell phone or connected devices that bridge fiscal and energy compliance for a better world.
Ride the long tail wave… and the inverted business models… Make more accessibility to all products and be responsible in accessibility… From crowdfunding or crowdsourcing, like Kickstarter or makers, someone is going to figure out how a sensor can do more, in a very impactful and human experience paradigm. The new innovations will come from everywhere; from the 14 year old in Uganda who takes apart her cellphone to repurpose it into a medical monitoring device, from the basements and garages of millions of makers and DIYers worldwide who have sure genius among them.
It is super important to get the very latest hardware out to the open community so that innovation can be leveraged, taken to new levels of creativity and crowdsource ideation for collaboration and massive cross-contribution. Accessibility, documentation, development, ecosystem for software support for the MCUs are all too important. Atmel holds building blocks to many of these pieces, combined with their development tools and evaluation ecosystem (Studio 6, Spaces, Gallery) and involvement with makers and Arduino.
Open hardware/source will come to be de-facto standards. Bundle open source along with the open hardware to make it even more accessible and embed rapid guide start for newcomers. Right now a key piece is the Wireless Sensor Net. If there were a good open source WSN available and supported by manufacturers, it could enable a groundswell of connected devices.
Build open source and open hardware educational IoT developer's kits for ages 8 and up, for high school and college, to hit all levels of involvement and expertise. Support community hackerspaces and places (i.e. Noisebridge) where everyone can learn about the digital world and programming.
We are seeing the leveling out of the development happening in all parts of the world. Radical innovation is happening everywhere. Open Source is helping shape this curvature. This is the broader whole tide that we are seeing. Pinocchio is one great innovation emerging from makers and open source, then we have IoT hubs such as SmartThings, Thingworx, or Cosm. There is a lot of crowdfunding, ideation, blooming of disruptive products looking to change the scene of things to come…. Support open source and open collaboration in everything, to create a culture of sharing and innovation, a culture of synergy in building the Internet of Things together. Involve customers as participants and makers of their own experiences. Make sure everyone has access to the information and support they need to build, maintain, hack, and repurpose their devices over time to promote a healthy ecosystem.
This time innovation is going global. The ideation is happening everywhere. There are many global Silicon Valley type hubs, other metros in the world, as well as global accessibility to the same information. We see startup mentality blossoming across all geo-locations. Again, Semi-Conductors is contributing, helping pave the backplane for innovation & connectivity for the development layers on top. Global village of innovation is coming of age… Now.
4 thoughts on "The Internet of Things: Why Does it Matter?"
It bothers me that an extensive article series like this on IoT does not mention IPv6 at all. We are rapidly approaching the exhaustion of IPv4, and the thousands or millions of devices represented by the IoT will need IPv6's trillions of addresses to be successful.
While IPV6 will be an important element, it isn't as vitally necessary as many think, at least for the next few years. Most devices will not be directly connected to the internet, and will be connected behind a gateway of some type. This actually makes a lot of sense architecturally, as it can reduce the capabilities needed on-device to support secure communications and interaction, and as a result reduced power, cost, and complexity. There are some areas where IPV6 can help more than addressing – areas like security, QoS, and others.
Internet of Things matters alot.We can now monitor things and in a few years IoT will not be a buzzword anymore, it will be built into every electronic product we are using in a way that everything is being connected to the internet in order to gather and share data to make your life more efficient.
Internet of things can refer to a wide variety of devices such as heart monitoring implants, biochip transponders on farm animals, electric clams in coastal waters, automobiles with built-in sensors, or field operation devices that assist fire-fighters in search and rescue.

Alcoholics Anonymous
Welcome to Alcoholics Anonymous. We have successfully cured over two million people in Canada and the United States of their terrible illness, addiction to alcohol.
But alcohol addiction isn't a disease. That's been proven many times over.
Sounds like somebody is in denial. Alcohol is the number one cause of death for people in cars.
Hey! You said "in cars"! That can't be a disease!
Yes it can. We're the experts. And we're here for you. Now, what's your name?
I'm John.
And I'm not an alcoholic! I'm just here because of a court order on a bullshit DUI charge!
"Bullshit". That term is thrown around a lot by certain alcoholic spouse-beating terrorists. You don't want to be one of those, do you?
But I'm not an alcoholic!
Ah, the second stage is denial. Here, let me tell you about the stages of alcoholism.
The Stages of Alcoholism
- Drunkenness, resulting in a DUI or wife beating incident.
- Denial. The person will attempt to convince himself or herself that their addiction is not, in fact, real. This person says he is not an alcoholic, he is just a beeraholic.
- Anger. The subject will use physical violence against people who assert they have a problem.
- Bargaining. The subject will attempt to buy his/her way out of the hopeless situation. This, of course, is to no avail as nobody can escape alcoholism without our help. Nobody.
- Acceptance. At this stage, the subject finally comes to grips with the fact that nobody but us can help them with their disease.
But alcoholism isn't a disease!
Yes it is. Now, on to the twelve steps:
What the fuck! Twelve steps? That's the biggest bunch of bullshit I've heard in my life!
Sounds like someone is at stage three...
The Twelve Steps to Recovery
There are twelve easy steps to recovery from alcoholism.
Step 1: Give us money
The subject must give us, Alcoholics Anonymous, $1000 to help cover the cost of us saving you from going to Hell.
But I'm an Atheist! I don't believe in Hell!
Sounds like someone hasn't found Jesus. Luckily, that's step Two.
Step 2: Find Jesus
You must find Jesus, so he can spare your soul. Alcoholics are condemned to a life in Hell, even if they quit drinking. Alcoholics are reserved for the thirteenth circle of Hell, right along wifebeaters and terrorists.
That makes no sense! Please, I'll pay you the money, just let me go!
Sounds like somebody is at Stage Four.
Uh oh, back to stage three again. On to the third step.
Step 3: Pour out all your alcohol
This one is simple. Simply pour out all your alcoholic beverages in your house. To assist your recovery, sign your house over to us so we can make absolutely sure you have truly gotten rid of all alcohol. That includes listerine.
Fuck no! I'm not signing my house over to you jackasses!
That's ok. We'll get to that later.
Step 4: Coming to Meetings
Each meeting requires a $50 cover charge, and alcoholic refreshments are free of charge. In each meeting, each person will say how many days they've been sober. Let's demonstrate with our newest member. John, if you please...
I don't want to do it!
That's too bad. The courts say you have to.
Fine. My name's John, and I've been sober for three years.
Now we all know that's a lie, don't we group?
But it's not! I wasn't drunk when I got the DUI! I haven't had alcohol since my first... i mean only wedding night!
Usually, right before Stage Four (bargaining), there's lying to attempt to cover up the fact that the subject has a problem.
What the hell is wrong with you people? I was NOT drinking. Plus, I thought I was at Stage Four before!
Sure you weren't.
But I wasn't! It was cocaine! Listen, I'll pay you the thousand bucks! Just let me go!
And there you have it, Bargaining.
Step 5: Take a personal inventory
The next step is to take an inventory of everything you have that could possibly remind you of alcohol. This includes all computers, televisions, radios, valuable paintings, and money you own. In order to truly separate yourself from alcohol and its influences, you have to give all of these things to the leader of your local AA chapter. Only this will enable you to be cured.
I dunno, that sounds like a scam to me...
Listen, do you want to be saved or not?
God. The only way you jerks are going to let me leave is if I say I'm a drunk. Fine, "I'm an alcoholic."
He admitted it! John has made astounding progress.
Fine, can I go to my car for a second?
Sure, but make sure not to get any liquor, we don't want you beating your wife anymore.
But I don't... urgh.
Five minutes later:
Cure THIS, mother fuckers!!
Jesus Fucking Christ, he's got a gun!
Killing that guy was the best thing I've ever done! I'm cured! I'll never do cocaine again. Killing's my drug of choice! Now, off to Mexico. The cops are after me.

"A director on a live-action picture can work with the actor and see what he is going to do. The actions can be altered, refined, changed or questioned, and the results judged on the spot. In animation, there is no way of knowing ahead of time how the scene will look" (Frank Thomas 81).In animation, where the visuals are being created from scratch and where the pace of creation is considerably slower, verbal instructions and acting something out are not sufficient to communicate with a crew. The director will time actions down to fractions of a second. The director will draw (or supervise the drawing of) poses that define a character's actions and express its emotions. Finally, the director will cast his animators.
As directors were already working with musicians to set the tempo for the animation, it was logical for them to time all the action for the sake of expediency. The goal was to get directly to the desired result on screen, so the more control the director exercised, the less likely that the animator would produce something unusable. Dave Hand, who directed for Disney in the 1930's, recalled,
"The director had to time the whole picture, half-second by half-second, and he could of course always use a stopwatch – sometimes you would get the feel of a thing without a stopwatch for ten or fifteen seconds, but not for technical, close actions. He'd have to time those out" (Barrier, Hand 88).Not every director timed cartoons in such detail. Disney animator Volus Jones recalled that director Jack Kinney would act out scenes in great detail for him but not add information to the exposure sheet that already contained camera information and the dialog breakdown (Sullivan, Jones 150). Whereas Jones recalled that director Wilfred Jackson timed things in great detail and that his animation for Jackson was better than he expected as a result (Sullivan, Jones 145).
Disney shorts director Jack Hannah was one who believed in nailing the timing down.
"A lot of directors gave the animators more say in timing. I never did that. I timed every foot I directed. I don't care how good the animator was. To me, it was the most important part of the directing – the timing, the pacing, the pauses." (Korkis, Hannah 133).This control of timing directly affected character behaviour. A good director took characterization into account in how actions were timed. Warner director Chuck Jones recalled,
"Of course, I paced things like Pepé le Pew a great deal differently than I paced the Road Runner cartoons, not only because the material was different, but because the characters were different. Pepé, for instance, would never walk at an eight-beat (three steps to the second), he would walk at a twelve-beat (two steps to the second). He'd walk much more casually, and he'd stop and look at something and contemplate it, instead of going right to it" (Barrier, Jones 18).Chuck Jones's control over timing was not just motivated by aesthetics. At Warner Bros, there was no money for reshooting or for editing, so the films had to be pre-timed for the proper length.
"We'd time it in our heads so that it would come out pretty close to 540 feet, the average length of a six-minute cartoon. We had to time it ourselves, because we didn't have the luxury of shooting something and then not using it, as was done at Disney" (Bailey 148).While storyboards include drawings that define a character's body position and attitude, and while those drawings might be incorporated into the animation, there are relatively few storyboard drawings compared to the number of frames that exist in a final shot. Directors refine how characters behave through the use of additional drawings. In some studios, such as Disney, there would be a layout artist that was responsible for doing these drawings. Animator Shamus Culhane recalled the birth of the layout function.
"Heretofore, the animators always drew their own layouts, and decided on the size and composition of the characters in their scenes, without much attention to the approach that was being used by the animators who were working on adjoining sequences.At other studios, the director did the layout drawings himself. Frank Tashlin recalled doing several hundred drawings per cartoon (Barrier, Tashlin 46-47) when directing at Warner Bros. Chuck Jones did between 300 and 400 drawings for each short he directed. While Jones didn't insist that the animators follow his poses exactly, he was confident that if they changed them they would still give him something consistent with what he intended (Adamson, Jones 137). Jones recalled,
"By having one man drawing layouts and positioning characters, the result was a more cohesive approach. Now Walt [Disney] could see what the whole picture was going to look like before he gave work to the animators" (95).
"My job was to present what I wanted to see on the screen, and their job was to animate it. It was the same thing as conducting an orchestra, where the individual musician has no right to change a note. The director served as the composer and the conductor" (Jurgens 189).Some animators were happy to work with Jones' drawings. Animator Virgil Ross worked for Jones in the 1980's and considered the work easy. "His layouts were so good that it was almost inbetweening" (Province 19). Ross implies that he only had to connect up Jones' drawings for the scene to be animated.
Not every director would do the final drawings. Friz Freleng would do character layouts and then pass them on to a layout artist, such as Hawley Pratt, who would refine them (Barrier, Hollywood 472). At MGM on the Tom and Jerry series co-directed by Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera, layout artist Dick Bickenbach worked over Barbera's drawings. However, when Hanna handed out work to animators, he would include Barbera's rough drawings along with Bickenbach's to make sure that Barbera's intent was clear. In Tex Avery's MGM unit in the early 1940's, Claude Smith would do the character layouts. Preston Blair recalled that he would use a lot of Smith's layout drawings verbatim in his animation (Barrier, Hollywood 413).
Casting for animation is significantly different than live action as well. Having cast an actor for a live role, it's difficult to replace that actor on stage or on screen without the audience noticing. In film, live actors are often replaced by stunt doubles during dangerous scenes, and pains must be taken not to show the double's face so that the illusion of a single performer in the role won't be broken.
However, in animation, the artists are invisible to the audience. As a consequence, it's possible for several animators to control the same character in a single film. This is most often done for the sake of efficiency. In order to hit deadlines, it is easier to split a character up among several animators than delay completing the film while a single animator finishes work on a character.
While acknowledging the need for efficiency, there are still three ways that animators get cast for shots. The most basic is that when an animator needs a new shot, the director simply hands the animator whatever shot is ready to go. No one would argue that this leads to consistency, but few productions can afford to have an animator doing nothing while waiting for the next appropriate shot to be ready. While directors attempt to avoid casting in this manner, it is not always possible. Animator Ward Kimball declared that, "the logistics of casting depended a lot on the timetable" (Shale 9).
Studio records for the Walter Lantz cartoon The Pied Piper of Basin Street, directed by Shamus Culhane, show that three shots in a row of the piper were done by three separate animators. The most likely reason is that Culhane had to keep the animators working. Even if he were casting by sequence, so that the piper would be controlled by several animators throughout the film, it would still make sense to give three successive shots to one animator in order to avoid problems with the cutting continuity.
Three successive shots from The Pied Piper of Basin Street with the names of each shot's animator at top. Images are frame enlargements. Animator identifications taken from Lantz studio records in the collection of the author.
There are two methods of casting that are calculated to produce better results: casting by scene and casting by character. Both remain in use and both have their partisans.
Casting by scene has two advantages: you can assign shots based on an animator's strengths and it's more efficient for a single animator to handle all the characters in a shot. However, it does introduce inconsistencies as to how characters are drawn or move over the course of a film. Casting by character provides greater consistency in individual character behaviour, but creates logistical problems that slow down production.
The decision which animator to cast can have a profound impact on the resulting behaviour of a character. The decision to cast by scene guarantees that animators will deal with a further level of collaboration.
A fuller discussion of casting will take place in the section below on animators.

Spring Chimney Maintenance
As the heating season winds down, a quick spring maintenance check of your chimney can have you resting soundly through the summer months and be ready for fall ahead of your neighbors.
One good sweep deserves another
If you burn a lot of wood through the season, it is not uncommon to need a second sweep. This is true especially if your fires run cooler and tend to build soot or creosote.
Springtime is often a slower season for sweeps and chimney professionals, so getting an appointment can often be much easier than in the fall, when people are rushing to prepare for the heating season. Sweeps may also offer discounts at this time of year.
Check the flashing and rain caps
Winter temperatures and wind speeds make roofing work and chimney work difficult, if not impossible. Spring is your first chance to make any needed repairs to flashing or rain caps that might have been damaged or lost by months of relentless wind. I often hear stories of people finding rain caps or spark arrestors out in their yards when the snows start to recede. Getting these items back in place before the wildfire season is primed makes for a safer home and neighborhood.
Critter check
Springtime is also a season of increased animal activity. Part of your springtime inspection should include an inspection of the rain cap, and vent screens that are located on the top of your flue. Masonry fireplaces and flues often have nooks and crannies between bricks or stones, both inside and outside of the smoke path. Some of these areas are protected from the weather and provide ideal nesting sites for local birds. A collection of dried sticks and grasses (aka bird nest) is not something that is very compatible with a place that sees routine combustion temperatures.
Larger animals like squirrels and raccoons have also been know to set up "house" in chimneys and flues. Traditional clay lined flues or brick flues are pretty easy for these for these animals to climb and often lack the screens or grills that are common to wood stoves or fireplaces that use tubular metal chimney pipes. Another common entry area found in brick and stone fireplaces is the external ash clean out. A loose of missing door here can lead right inside to an idea squirrel-nesting site.
Leak and brace check
Summer seasons are often filled with more rain than winter (unless you happen to live in Portland or Seattle), and the freeze-thaw cycle that has occurred through the seasons may have caused some caulking or sealant to open up, providing an inroad for water damage. Areas that often see gaps are along the interface between the masonry and the roof flashing, and where the roof flashing meets the roof. Armed with a caulk gun and a tube of roof sealant, these threats can be subdued painlessly.
For those that have chimney pipe, rather than masonry, the roof flashing and "storm ring" should be inspected for gaps or loose components. Metal roofs in heavy snow areas often slide if not fully protected with "snow" bars or stabilization controls. I have seen a good handful of chimneys nearly ripped off from these types of snow slides. Your chimney may still be standing after one of these slides, but the flashing may have come loose. Chimneys that use pipe may also have supports or braces that keep longer runs of pipe stable from the effects of wind and other stresses. These should be checked to ensure that the attachment bolts and fittings are secure.
DIY or go pro?
Some of these tasks are pretty simple and are possible DIY projects, others can be more challenging and will require a roof repair contractor with the proper equipment. Whatever route you choose for your chimney, having caps and screens secured, flues free from soot or creosote and cracks and gaps sealed, your chimney will be ready for a summer's rest before the next heating season. Your time can now be spent on the pleasures of the season, like gardening or grilling on the deck.

The Third Man, 1949, directed by Carol Reed, written by Graham Greene.
The first time we see Joseph Cotten as Holly Martins, the hapless protagonist of The Third Man, he's craning his head out of a moving train as it pulls into the station. He does a lot of that throughout the movie. Martins has the perpetual cocked head of a dog trying hopelessly to puzzle something out. And as the third shot of him suggests, his cluelessness isn't going to bring him any good luck:
That's Holly in a single shot: too caught up in whatever's going on inside his head to notice he's walking under a ladder. Now there's a fine tradition of films about preoccupied bumblers—mostly comedies—and you could imagine that shot in any number of movies. But this isn't The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, and there's nothing charming about Holly Martin's obliviousness. As Jim Shepard points out in "Zane Grey and the Borgias: The Third Man and the 2004 Republican Ticket" (the definitive essay about The Third Man; buy yourself a copy here), the key thing about Holly is that he doesn't realize that "being in over his head might be dangerous for other people." He has the peculiar American combination of determination, self-righteousness, and ignorance that creates disasters like our current adventure in the Middle East. How ingrained is his belief in saving the day through nothing but sheer pluck and true grit? Well, he writes cowboy novels with titles like The Lone Rider of Santa Fe, and covers like this one:
There may be situations where Westerns are useful moral guides. But the Viennese black market immediately after World War II was not one of them, and unfortunately, that's where Holly finds himself.
The movie opens with a brief tour of Vienna's moral squalor during the Four Powers occupation, 1945–1955. At the time, Vienna was divided into four main zones, governed by the French, Americans, Russians, and British. In the center of the city was the inter-allied zone, rather ineffectually governed and policed by representatives of all four governments, who had no languages in common but pidgin German:
You can see a map of what the city looked like here; Europe's very own Texarkana. Enter Holly Martins, who's come all the way from America to get a job working for his old school friend Harry Lime. But Holly's barely off the train before he discovers that Harry is dead, the British are claiming he was a racketeer, and the one thing everyone (British, Russian, Austrian, even a Bulgarian) agrees on is that Holly should go home. Which is, of course, the one thing you don't tell an American to do. Especially if you're a sardonic, world-weary Brit like Major Calloway, played brilliantly by Trevor Howard.
So after getting drunk on the British delegation's dime (or pound note, I guess) and trying to punch Major Calloway in the face, Holly has the single worst idea of his life: he's going to investigate and clear Harry's good name.
This despite, as Shepard points out, the fact that "He doesn't know the city at all, and doesn't speak German. Or Russian. Or French." He may as well put a sign on his door reading "Gareth Keenan Investigates!" Holly's ill-fated venture begins with a meeting with one of Harry's oldest, dearest friends in Vienna, Baron Kurtz. He seems as friendly and sincere as Holly seems competent and restrained:
And things pretty much go downhill from there. The archetypical Holly Martins scene is his first meeting with Lime's girlfriend, Anna. She's an actress; he goes to one of her performances, and sits stone-faced and uncomprehending at the German dialogue while the audience around him roars with laughter.
After the show, he tells Anna, "I enjoyed the play very much. You were awfully good in it." She cuts him off: "Do you understand German?" Not. Fooling. Anyone. He does find one thing that the police didn't know: the reports of Harry's death turn out to have been exaggerated.
That's Orson Welles as Harry Lime, making his unexpected reappearance in one of the most famous shots in film history. But for my money, the shot that should have entered the canon is this insert shot of Calloway's file on Lime:
As mug shots go, it could have gone worse. And as photos of Orson Welles go, it did go worse. Anyway: Welles's performance is excellent, but it didn't have to be much. He doesn't appear until an hour into the film, and the first hour is spent with every character talking about him. There's an interview with Peter Bogdanovich on the DVD in which he says Welles compared playing Harry Lime to playing a character named Mr. Wu back in his theater days. (Bogdanovich doesn't identify it further, but probably Welles was referring to the play this was based on). In Mr. Wu, any time in the first act that a character says anything at all, another character says something like, "But what will Mr. Wu think about that?" or "Well, we'll have to wait and see what Mr. Wu has to say." And at the very end of the act, Mr. Wu is seen arriving in the distance, in silhouette. He has no lines. But according to Welles, at the intermission his performance as Mr. Wu was all anyone could talk about. The Third Man works more or less the same way; after the buildup Lime gets, all Welles has to do is show up.
Needless to say, the more Holly blunders around Vienna, the worse he makes things for everyone, from Major Callaway up to Harry himself. But nobody gets off worse than Anna, because Holly decides he wants to save her. She's played by the great Alida Valli, and brings shades to the part that I doubt were apparent in the script. Her complete lack of patience with Holly is one of the film's great pleasures.
When Holly tells her he's fallen in love with her (in a typically self-pitying fashion), she replies, "If you'd rung me up and asked me if you were fair or dark or had a mustache, I wouldn't have known." Holly being Holly, however, he's still dumb enough to wait for her after Harry's second funeral (trying to salvage the happy ending, as Shepard put it). Anna has the only rational response: she walks right past him without even acknowledging he's there.
- There are a lot of great performances in this film. Trevor Howard's Major Calloway is nearly perfect. He gets most of the best lines (e.g., "I don't want another murder in this case and you were born to be murdered.") And then there's this scene:
- Holly is on his way out of town, and he won't help Calloway catch Lime; Calloway says he has to make a stop on his way to the airport. The "stop" is to the children's hospital where some of Harry Lime's victims are living (Lime has been diluting and reselling penicillin). We never see what's in those cradles, but watch Calloway's face as he explains, "It had meningitis. They gave it some of Lime's penicillin." That it.
- The final chase scenes through the Viennese sewers are justly famous for their cinematography and staging. Two examples:
- Two things I didn't know about this section of the movie: first, you know those weird cops in jumpsuits that show up out of nowhere? Vienna had an actual squad of police whose beat was the sewer system, and those are their uniforms. The DVD includes an old Pathé newsreel with footage of them in action. Here they are:
- The other thing I didn't know is that Orson Welles's shots in this section are all on a soundstage, because he refused to shoot in the actual sewers after the first day.
- Trivia everyone knows: Orson Welles wrote the monologue about Italy under the Borgias himself. So he may be the only person on the planet who has written something better than Graham Greene did.
- Trivia not everyone knows: Carol Reed worked nearly 24 hours a day on The Third Man all throughout the production (three units were shooting simultaneously). His secret? He was a Benzedrine achiever.
- More trivia everyone knows: the entire score of The Third Man was performed on the zither by Anton Karas, who Carol Reed heard playing in a restaurant and insisted on hiring over the objections of everyone at the studio. If you've ever wanted footage of Karas playing, this is the DVD for you:
- What I didn't know was how a zither actually works: it's the kind of instrument you hear about more than you actually see. It's sort of a mix between a harp and a guitar:
- If you think about the Harry Lime theme from the film (and if you don't know it, see the movie—it will be stuck in your head for weeks), you can see how it works; the right hand plucks the bass line on the non-fretted strings and simultaneously plucks the treble strings with the thumb pick; the left hand frets the upper strings. That's why the score has relatively simple bass lines, particularly when the melody gets rolling.
- Last thing, and something I didn't notice until this viewing (and only then because Roger Ebert mentioned it). It's part of the subplot involving Holly Martins delivering an ill-advised address to a cultural reeducation society. The organizers mistakenly believe he is a significant novelist; it's a humorous version of the "Holly out of his league" disasters that move the main plot along. But what I didn't notice was that the head of the reeducation group almost always is accompanied by his mistress, who he maneuvers out of the way before talking to anyone:
- Once you see her, you'll notice that she's almost always with him; his performance is a case study in guiding a companion to the sidelines of a conversation; Crabbin does it reflexively. In the shot above, he's about to pull her between himself and Sergeant Paine and off to the side, without breaking eye contact or otherwise acknowledging her. Crabbin's first line is to her: "I can't very well introduce you to everybody." It's a nice counterpoint to the way Anna Schmidt is manipulated by the rest of the characters. So: old British men looking to avoid social scandal, take note!

Catchy title huh?
I'm not much about celebrating milestones but this is the 400th post in the history of this blog. That's a lot of writing. So to celebrate the occasion, I thought I change it up a little bit.
Last week a buddy of mine told me that for him to be able to have brain shaking ideas, he'd have to be high using his rda vapes. Lol!
I'm sure you've heard this before yourself. And I'm not so sure any professional recommends their clients to get high before a brainstorming session. Although we do like to use this analogy when explaining our own creative process, minus the catalyst for getting high. I think there's some truth to that but I've personally never gotten high to have great ideas, I use Delta 8 disposable vape pens which do not give you the ¨high¨.
But really, you don't need to smoke weed to have great ideas. Even having Canadian Vaporizers, wide selections of vaporizers at hand.…

Like your job? Here's your chance to compare your company with eight of the best—at least in how they treat their Microsoft Certified Professionals.
ICL, a European-based systems and services company, views its MCSEs as so core to its success that it quotes an MCSE in its 1999 annual report and brags about how it expects to have 4,000 premium title-holders on staff within the next two years. The person who nominated the firm, Hannu Ylioja, Senior Developer/Systems Engineer, holds MCSE, MCSD, MCDBA, and MCP+1 titles from Microsoft. He's in a position to gauge how well the company treats its IT staff—he's worked there for 22 years.
In the last year, Ylioja's projects have involved ISDN networking and roll-outs for Total Oil, as well as deploying new applications for Shell. He's currently pursuing his MCSE+Internet and preparing for Windows 2000 MCSE re-certification.
Ron McLaren, ICL's Manager, Engineering Professional Com munity, estimates that ICL, which is in 40 countries, has about 22,000 employees. The company is organized into 15 different communities based on functional endeavors: sales, commercial managers, and so on. Engineering, the largest community, has 12,500 technical professionals; MCPs fall into this category. The group consists of jobs with descriptions ranging from "tech support on a help desk" to somebody "designing the most complex type of rocket-science solution for a customer."
McLaren explains that the company has developed a "Performance-Plus" system for evaluating people's skills, setting their objectives, assessing salaries, and "setting their whole cycle of development." Certification is a major factor in determining pay and assignments, though not the only one. Like the other companies profiled here, ICL covers all costs of technical training, study, and test-taking.
"We have written objectives for people as to what they should be achieving-in terms of assignments they're working on, but also in terms of their personal development," McLaren says. "'By the end of this year you should be an expert this...' Those are all written down. The definitions of the roles are also written down. Around spring each year, we start the process of salary reviews, where we evaluate the market conditions. That's how we come up with the salary."
Over the next three years ICL will be training 10,000 people in e-business solutions, based on Microsoft technologies and revolving around Site Server. About half of that will be additional training for people inside the company; the other half will focus on new recruits. The initiatives will help the company address its four sets of service offerings: customer relationship management (such as a "loyalty system" for Safeway, USA); e-business (a set of Web sites for Northcliffe Newspapers); enterprise applications (the implementation of REI's in-store system); and IT services (outsourced service in 1,100 branches of Swedbank).
Concludes Ylioja, "The future will be interesting. ICL is preparing to float on the London Stock Exchange and the company is re-aligning itself to the e-business model."

The war of words that erupted between Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride and 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh over whether or not 49ers defensive end Justin Smith gets away with holding left Smith asking just one question: Who's Kevin Gilbride?
Gilbride said that Smith gets away with murder because he blatantly holds and the officials don't call it. Harbaugh issued an angry refutation of Gilbride's claims, accusing the Giants' coaching staff of trying to influence the officials.
Smith wasn't quite as angry as Harbaugh, possibly because Smith didn't know who Gilbride was.
"I really don't know what he's talking about, to be honest with you," Smith said. "But if he's trying to talk himself, get some bulletin board stuff, good for him. Whatever they need to do. It doesn't bother me. I'm going to have him look him up and see who it is."
Smith also said he doesn't understand why Gilbride is claiming he holds offensive linemen, because in Smith's opinion it's the opposing offensive linemen who hold him.
"I mean, they hold me," Smith said of offensive linemen. "So, whatever. That's the first I've heard of it. That's the first time I've heard of an offensive coordinator complaining about it. I mean, they hold me. They just hold."
A defensive lineman complaining about getting held is the norm. An offensive coordinator complaining about a defensive lineman holding is something we rarely see, which is why Gilbride's comments gained traction this week. And those comments are why Smith now knows who Gilbride is.

A new Obama ad that has ruffled feathers by mockingly portraying Big Bird as a corporate villain will stay on the air, a senior Obama campaign adviser said Wednesday.
"I don't know of any plans to change that ad," Robert Gibbs told TODAY's Matt Lauer.
The ad sarcastically compares the beloved Sesame Street character, the breakout star in last week's presidential debate, to major white-collar criminals and "gluttons of greed" Bernie Madoff, Kenneth Lay and others.
But the organization behind Sesame Street asked the Obama campaign to take down the ad.
"Sesame Workshop is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization and we do not endorse candidates or participate in political campaigns," the organization said in a statement. "We have approved no campaign ads, and as is our general practice, have requested that the ad be taken down."
Gibbs said the ad points out differences between Obama and Republican nominee.
"Mitt Romney took to the debate and said I'm going to get tough by ending Downton Abbey and going to war with Sesame Street when he's going to let Wall Street off the hook and not hold them accountable as we go forward in financial reform," he said. "Look, we can't have a president that does that. That's certainly a part of a very real issue."
On Tuesday, Arizona Sen. John McCain told TODAY that the Big Bird ad illustrated a lack of ideas by the Obama campaign.
"It may show paucity of ideas in ways to criticize Mitt Romney," said the former Republican presidential candidate.

Rugby World Cup 2003 - the short-term impact on the Australia economy
International visitors and expenditure Number of visitors As a result of Australia hosting the RWC, it was estimated that 65,000 international visitors visited Australia. This number was estimated to consist of 60,000 rugby supporters, 2,500 media personnel and 2,500 corporate visitors - predominantly business executives employed by global RWC commercial partners/sponsors. A number of visitors associated with the RWC teams and international rugby organisations also came to the event. Based on Australian Rugby Union (ARU) information these include:
The ARU indicated that the majority of international visitors were from the United Kingdom and Europe. Table 21.24 provides a break down of international rugby tour visitors, media and corporate visitors. In terms of the corporate visitors, the ARU was of the view that the majority of these would be from the United Kingdom/Europe through the RWC commercial partners/sponsors.
Expenditure of international visitors Table 21.25 shows the average international expenditure data on a per trip basis including airfares and expenditure while in Australia by region. Visitors from United Kingdom/Europe were estimated to have the highest expenditure and the longest average length of stay of all visitors at $8,302 and 36 nights. Next highest were visitors from the Americas spending on average $6,741, Africa $6,260 and New Zealand/Asia Pacific $3,153. This provided for a total trip expenditure for all visitors of $400.4m. Major spending items of international visitors tended to be accommodation, food and drink along with airfares, packaged tours and retail shopping.
Interstate visitors and expenditure New South Wales received the most interstate visitors (49,948) followed by Victoria (43,284), Queensland (42,153) and Australian Capital Territory (25,760). Ticket purchases for interstate visitors were predominantly for games in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria (66,916, 64,316 and 61,271 respectively), where the majority of preliminary games and the finals were played (table 21.26). Interstate visitor expenditure in New South Wales was estimated at $47.8m, followed by Victoria ($41.4m), Queensland ($28.4m), Western Australia ($12.8m), South Australia ($7.5m), Australian Capital Territory ($3.8m) and Tasmania ($1m). Average expenditure per visit was also the greatest in New South Wales ($1,015) followed by South Australia ($1,007) and Victoria ($1,005). For interstate visits the key items of expenditure were accommodation, food and drink.
Impact on industry, employment and government finances An additional $494m was generated in industry sales by the RWC, particularly in the trade and hotels industry, finance and business services and recreational services. New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland gained the majority of RWC industry sales ($411m, $48m and $22m respectively). Tasmania and Northern Territory were adversely affected, declining $5m and $2m respectively (table 21.27). The RWC created an additional 4,500 short-term full and part-time positions mainly in the trade and hotels industry, finance and business services and recreational services. New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland benefited most from the RWC with 3,595, 428 and 303 jobs respectively being created. The RWC provided an additional $55m to Commonwealth revenue before Commonwealth grants were paid to the State governments. The New South Wales government received the highest additional revenue of $19m including grants paid by the Australian (Commonwealth) Government and had the greatest expenditure at $34m. In aggregate, the states' budgetary position was estimated to have worsened by $14m (total revenue minus total expenditure).

The 2012 season has been filled with intriguing storylines. Peyton Manning's comeback, the fantastic play of the rookie quarterbacks and the emergence of J.J. Watt have all received a tremendous amount of attention. However, there is another plot jockeying for position in the spotlight over these final three weeks.
Three of the NFL's marquee, single-season records are in danger of being broken as we head down the stretch. Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is closing in on Eric Dickerson's rushing-yardage mark, Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson is very close to surpassing Jerry Rice's receiving-yardage record, and San Francisco 49ers outside linebacker Aldon Smith is 3.5 sacks away from breaking Michael Strahan's record.
Let's take a look at each:
What's the record? Single-season rushing yards
Who's the record holder?Eric Dickerson, 2,105 yards (1984)
Who's chasing the record?Adrian Peterson
What does he need to do?Peterson currently has 1,600 rushing yards. He needs to average 168.7 yards per game in order to break the record.
Peterson's final three opponents all possess top-15 rushing defenses. The St. Louis Rams are ranked 13th, allowing 110.3 yards per game. The Houston Texans will be the most difficult challenge. They are tied for second, allowing only 90.8 yards per game. Peterson will finish up the season against the Green Bay Packers. They are ranked 15th, allowing 116.7 yards per game. However, Peterson gashed the Packers' defense for 210 yards in their first meeting in Week 13.
Will he break the record? No. 2,000 yards is definitely attainable with this schedule, but 2,105 is simply too tall a task.
What's the record?Single-season receiving yards
Who's the record holder?Jerry Rice, 1,848 yards (1995)
Who's chasing the record?Calvin Johnson
What does he need to do? Johnson currently has 1,546 receiving yards. He needs to average 101 yards per game in order to break the record.
Johnson's final three opponents all boast solid pass defenses. The Arizona Cardinals (fifth), Atlanta Falcons (16th) and Chicago Bears (sixth) all rank in the top half of the league in fewest passing yards allowed. However, there is good news for Johnson. The Cardinals' defense has nothing to play for at this point in the season and the Falcons' offense will likely score a ton of points, forcing the Lions to air it out. The big challenge will come from the Bears. They held Johnson to just 34 yards in their first meeting.
Will he break the record? Yes. He only needs to average 101 yards per game in order to break the record, and he's been averaging 151.3 yards in his past six games.
What's the record? Single-season sack total
Who's the record holder? Michael Strahan, 22.5 (2001)
Who's chasing the record?Aldon Smith
What does he need to do? Smith currently has 19.5 sacks. He needs to record 3.5 sacks in order to break the record.
Smith will square off against two of the best pass-protecting offensive lines over the next two games. The New England Patriots have allowed the fifth-fewest sacks and the Seattle Seahawks have allowed the ninth-fewest. Those will be tough challenges for Smith, but he has a very friendly foe to close out the season. The Arizona Cardinals have allowed the most sacks in the NFL, and Smith already collected two sacks against them earlier this season.
Will he break the record? Yes. I'm already penciling in Smith for two sacks against the Cardinals, so he only needs to combine for 1.5 sacks in these first two games. Smith has been on a tear lately, recording 14 sacks over his past six games.

The February 2010 Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Aparna of My Diverse Kitchen and Deeba of Passionate About Baking. They chose Tiramisu as the challenge for the month. Their challenge recipe is based on recipes from The Washington Post, Cordon Bleu at Home and Baking Obsession.
February is an insanely busy month for me and I knew that this challenge would require some time. There are many compenents to this dessert, but none were terribly difficult. I also got excited to try some new techniques including making my own cheese (the leftovers went great with blood oranges). This was my favorite Daring Bakers challenge since the pizza. The mascarpone was so easy and such a dream. It was smooth and creamy and I couldn't get enough. I normally don't like whipped cream, but mixed with mascarpone, pastry cream, and zabaglione, it transforms into something I can consume non-stop. I halved all the recipe parts and served it in these little wine glasses I love.
(I ate the whole thing)
Recipes can be found on the sites of our hosts. To see the very many creative renditions of this dessert, visit the blogroll.

1895 (190 Kb); Oil on canvas, 45 5/8 x 35 in; Collection Mr. and Mrs. Rene Lecomte, Paris
Gustave Geffroy was one of the first critics to recognize Cézanne's greatness; he wrote about him at length in 1895.
The portrait, so intricate in conception, was done over a period of three months in Geffroy's library. Cézanne despaired of finishing it, although it seems complete enough, a triumph of composition.
It is not a revealing study of the face, but an image of the man of books, the writer among his things. Cézanne often reduces the singularity of human beings; he is most happy with people like his card players, who do not impose themselves, who are perfectly passive or reserved, or immersed in their tasks. The portrait becomes a gigantic still life. The world of objects absorbs the man and lessens the intensity of his person; but it also enlarges him through the rich and multiple surroundings. His repressed activity is transferred to the complicated articulation of his books, the instruments of his profession. Indeed the arrangement of the books behind him, projecting and receding, tilted differently from shelf to shelf and ending in the open volumes below, seems more human than the man, reminding us of a long twisted body in classic counterpoise, like Michelangelo's Slave in the Louvre, a work that Cézanne admired and drew.
The man, by contrast, is fixed symmetrically with arms spread and bent--an immovable pyramid. The chair and table between which he is barricaded are another complex of tilted forms abstrusely counterposed to the wall of books and united to these by common tones, and by surprising correspondences of line. The open books lying on the table and the closed books standing on the shelves, all converging to Geffroy's head, belong to a common structure of balanced directions, although one group owes its tiltings to gravity and the other mainly to perspective. The different accents of orange in the bookcase and on the table confirm the contrast of the vertical and horizontal planes. With what care Cézanne studied the parts we can see in the warm strokes on the brow parallel to the slanting orange book nearby, with white and violet strokes between them, and in the slanting light spot at the right shoulder.
The painting is a rare union of the realistic vision of a piece of
space, seen directly in all its accidents and richness of detail, with
a powerful, probing, rigorous effort to adjust all that is seen in a
coherent balanced structure with its own vitality and attraction. The
whole looks intensely contrived and intensely natural. We pass often
from the artifice of composed forms to the chaos of a crowded room,
and from the latter we are soon brought back to the imposing order
invented by the artist; the oscillation is permanent. No line is
simply a device of design; it has always the quiver of existence in
light and is a product of Cézanne's robust, sensitive touch. The
straightest and most irregular lines are sensitive alike and are
equally parts of the whole in its double aspect of image and
painting-fabric. If the little feminine statuette softens the severity
of the books, it is also in its axis and bent arm a counterpart of the
rigidity of the man; the tulip in the blue vase is inclined with his
arm and his delicately painted, living right hand recalls the distant
books above.

idris: Dependently Typed Functional Programming Language
Idris is an experimental language with full dependent types. Dependent types allow types to be predicated on values, meaning that some aspects of a program's behaviour can be specified precisely in the type. The language is closely related to Epigram and Agda. There is a tutorial at http://www.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/~eb/Idris/tutorial.html.
The aims of the project are:
To provide a platform for realistic programming with dependent types. By realistic, we mean the ability to interact with the outside world and use primitive types and operations. This includes networking, file handling, concurrency, etc.
To show that full dependent types do not mean we have to abandon the functional style we have come to know and love with languages like Haskell and OCaml. We aim to show that lightweight dependently typed programming means allowing the programmer full access to values in types, and letting the type checker do the hard work so you don't have to!
