CYBERCRIME: NCC to regulate use of internet
On September 6, 2019 6:56 amIn Newsby Urowayino Jeremiah
By Shina Abubakar
OSOGBO—THE National Communications Commission, NCC, yesterday, pledged to establish mechanisms to control the use of internet to protect the nation's cyberspace against attack.
The commission said the move is aimed at protecting children against dangerous online contents, ensure consumer privacy and data protection.
This was disclosed by the commission's Deputy Director, Consumer Affairs Bureau, Alhaji Ismail Adedigba, at the 109th edition of Consumer Outreach Programme in Osogbo, Osun State.
Adedigba said: "Realising that liberalisation of the telecoms industry has led to an unprecedented increase in the usage of internet-based solutions and services, the Nigerian Communications Commission has initiated a process to establish an internet industry code of practice for internet service providers in the country.
"The internet code is a regulatory intervention expected to secure the country's cyberspace against threats from cyber attackers and addressing issues such as online child protection, privacy and data protection among others."

He added that while the commission is working on regulatory interventions to sanitize the cyberspace, telecoms play their role by reporting shortcomings to appropriate quarters.
In her opening remarks, the Director of Consumer Bureau, Mrs. Felicia Onwuegbuchulam urged consumers to note that as there is increase in the number "It is noteworthy that as the commission embarks on various initiatives to increase access to the internet for Nigerians for positive engagements, we are, nonetheless, conscious of dishonest individuals, who are bent on using the internet for illegal activities," she said.

Chronological Information
"Edward"
"Warriors"
"Requiem" is the ninth episode of the Sanctuary television series.
Dr. Magnus and Will investigate a distressing call for help deep from the merfolk below the Bermuda Triangle, resulting in a deadly battle to save Magnus's life.
Opening scene Edit
Inside a submarine, Dr. Helen Magnus, wet and confused, watches the read-outs on a screen. She hears a noise and looks at the air vent as it closes. Hurrying around the small room, checking the air vents, she realizes that they are all closed. She eventually goes back to the monitor, seeing the CO2 and oxygen levels change.
She rushes back to the door and looks through the glass port hole at Will Zimmerman, who looks back at her with a determined look on his face. Magnus begins to gasp for air, falls to the floor and takes a last breath as Will watches.
Act I Edit
The Sanctuary submarine Nautilus is in the Milwaukee Deep, off the coast of Puerto Rico. Dr. Magnus and Will are the only ones on board, discussing a number of the significant historical figures the head of the Sanctuary Network has met during her long life. They get a call from Henry Foss, who informs them that Sally the mermaid, who asked them to investigate a telepathic call for aid from her people, has had no further contact with the merfolk. Henry also points out how exciting it must be for them, since they are currently in the actual Bermuda Triangle. Magnus rebuffs their speculations, as there is nothing spectacular about the Triangle except the fact that most of the merfolk live here.
Will eventually finds the merfolk: there has been a massacre among their kind, and now over a hundred dead bodies float in the deep, a catastrophe for a species as rare as the merfolk. Magnus and Will bring a female specimen aboard and realize that she was not killed by an animal. Magnus finds a clear fluid that she cannot identified, and opts to return to the surface. Soon afterwards, she notices a headache and strange spasms in her hand.
Will is reading a book when suddenly he hears a loud noise; Magnus has collapsed and her head hurts more and more. She tells him that something is wrong.
Act II Edit
Magnus feels an intense pressure and bleeds from the nose. She wants to stop the Nautilus from returning to the surface in order to find out what is going on. They soon return to their original depth. Magnus gets better again, while Will has no symptoms of any kind.
During an analysis of her blood, Will asks Magnus some questions about how Ashley is copping with the fact that her father is Jack the Ripper. Magnus rebuffs him and wants to leave, and they have an argument. He tells her that she and the team are the first people he ever really connected to, while she explains that after all the friends, colleagues and lovers she buried, she is reluctant to get to close to people. However, she feels that he is doing great and that he could replace her in case something happened to her. Just then, Magnus has another attack and they have to go deeper again.
The blood analysis gives them no clues. Will suggests looking for a parasite, and Magnus scans her body for unidentified elements. The computer soon discovers a microscopic parasite in her brainstem that is multiplying and taking over her brain.
Act III Edit
An autopsy of the dead mermaid shows that she too was affected by the parasite, which all but destroyed the logic center of her brain: the merfolk tore each other apart after getting infected. When Magnus checked the body, the parasite penetrated her gloves and moved to her body, which is now showing more and more symptoms. There seem only two choices: if they return to the surface, she will die, and if they stay, she will eventually turn into a raging killer.
Magnus injects herself with a compound that should make her body a less good host for the parasite, but her body immediately reacts by attacking Will and ordering him to take them deeper.
Later Magnus apologizes and tells Will she would never have infected him deliberately. He is concerned about her seeming to loose control of her emotions. They continue to go deeper, but the Nautilus has limits where depth is concerned. Magnus tells Will that in the event that she is no longer in control of herself, he must act decisively.
Magnus still feels pain from the pressure, and takes the sub deeper. At 2,400 feet, the hull of the Nautilus begins to show signs of weakness.
Act IV Edit
As water begins to enter the hull, Magnus becomes more and more aggressive. At almost 3,000 feet, the ship hits an underwater mountain shelf, and stops. The engine room and the primary cargo hold are flooded. When showing Will where they are on a monitor, Magnus knocks him out from behind.
Will wakes up and realizes he is cuffed to a chair. Magnus accuses him of lying to her and trying to profile her like a criminal, telling him that while he wants to save her, it was actually she who saved him from a life of mediocrity and shame, and that she can save him again. He realizes that she herself made them lose control of the sub. He tells her that he agrees with her that they must go deeper, but that they must go somewhere else for that.
Magnus then enters the flooded section of the ship, while Will uses the time alone to free himself. He tries to lock her in the flooded section, but she returns and takes him with her in order to help her use a control panel. After they are successful, she takes off his oxygen mask. He returns to the section that still has air and points a gun at Magnus, who follows close behind. Unimpressed, she just tells him not to miss.
Act V Edit
Magnus confronts Will and takes the gun when he refuses to shoot. In her rage, she tells him that no one lives forever, and pulls the trigger. However, Will has removed the magazine. She leaves him behind to take the ship deeper, but gets locked in the control room by Will, who removes the oxygen from that section (at this point, the plot returns to the opening scene). Magnus soon looses consciousness and a clear fluid leaves her body: the parasite is looking for a new host. Will freezes it and revives Magnus, who soon returns to her former self.
Some time later, the Nautilus is secured and Magnus and Will have a talk. While Will states that Magnus may have lived for a long time, but that her work is not yet done, Magnus explains that her work will never be done, and that the day will come when he will have to take over. Yet, they both agree that that day is not today.
Amanda Tapping as Dr. Helen Magnus
Robin Dunne as Dr. Will Zimmerman
Guest Starring Edit
Ryan Robbins as Henry Foss
Background, Notes, and Trivia Edit
At Will's reference of Ashley's silent behavior lately being related to recently learning that Druitt is her father and Helen confirming it (referring to the fallout between mother and daughter still persisting from events of 1x07 through 1x08 and even up to now) it can safely be assumed that this episode chronologically follows closely behind the events of the previous two, possibly taking place up to a week or so after the end of 1x07; not very long after 1x08.
This episode establishes connections between Magnus and a number of historical figures: Louis Pasteur was a good friend of her father's, and her godfather. She personally knew H. G. Wells, Jules Verne, U.S. presidents Teddy and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Warren G. Harding, and Dwight D. Eisenhower, as well as J. Edgar Hoover. She was also in the room when Alfred Jodl and the Nazis surrendered at the end of World War II.
Emilie Ullerup and Christopher Heyerdahl do not appear in this episode.
Amanda Tapping was nominated for a Constellation award (Best Female Performance in a 2008 Science Fiction Television Episode) and won a Leo award (Dramatic Series: Best Lead Performance by a Female) for her performance in this episode.

Immediate action needed to prevent 'Domino Effect' of crises threatening NHS, warns doctor-led campaign organisation
Written by Samantha Hawkins
There are concerns that seven interconnected crises will impose a threat to the NHS, with doctors warning MPs to take immediate action.
EveryDoctor, a doctor-led campaign organisation fighting for a better NHS, which represented 1,700 UK doctors and has a network of over 300,000 NHS staff and supporters, have warned MPs today that the NHS may be facing its worst winter crisis on record.
This is due to cost cutting, COVID-19, staff shortages, ambulance response times, a surge in A&E attendance, hospital waiting lists and Social Care staff shortages.
Dr Julia Patterson, EveryDoctor's Chief Executive, said the NHS should be heavy on MPs and Parliamentarians' minds and that urgent action from them is needed.
"Thanks to this domino effect of seven separate crises, our wonderful NHS is in danger of completely crumbling this winter", said Dr Patterson.
Dr Megan Smith, EveryDoctor's Head of Policy, said each part of the NHS system is dependent on the effectiveness of the next, yet each part is now collapsing.
With more than 605,000 patients having been admitted to hospital with Coronavirus across the UK since the start of the crisis, it is likely for numbers to keep rising, said Dr Smith.
"Staff are at breaking point", she informed.
EveryDoctor's spokesperson said that a London-based anaesthetist told the organisation that despite being in the early stages of the winter crisis, patients are already having urgent operations cancelled.
Dr Kath Fielder, a GP, said: "Everyday we see and speak to so many patients all waiting longer than they should for each stage of care."
An A&E doctor told EveryDoctor of a night where there was a 20 hour wait for a bed.
This A&E doctor said: "We are exhausted, we are frustrated, we are morally injured by what we see everyday. We want to do the best for our patients, but how can we?"
Although winter crises are a regular occurrence for the NHS and funding is provided by the government to help it manage the winter period, EveryDoctor believes these additional funds are never sufficient.
The campaign believes these funds fail to address the underlying causes that are affecting the functionality of the NHS.

Will work towards improving bilateral trade: President Joe Biden's ambassadorial nominee to India
By PTI Updated: Feb 28, 2022 12:10 pm
Washington, Feb. 28 (PTI): US President Joe Biden's ambassadorial nominee to India Eric Garcetti has assured the influential Indian-American community that he will work towards improving bilateral trade and underlined the importance of human rights and pluralism.
During a closed-door dinner meeting with prominent members of the Indian-American community, Garcetti, who is currently the Mayor of Los Angeles, said that President Biden has told him that the US-India relationship is the most important global relationship in his mind.
During the interaction, hosted by Yogi and Monika Chugh, the Indian-American community members emphasised the importance of building and strengthening this partnership and the role they can play in this.
In his remarks, Garcetti affirmed the importance of human rights and pluralism and a commitment to improving trade between the countries.
The meeting, which lasted for about two and half hours, is significant because it was Garcetti's first meeting with prominent leaders of the Indian diaspora.
Indian American Congressman Ro Khanna in a passionate and inspiring remark spoke about the importance of the India-US relationship to put a check on China's expansionist ambition and ensure that liberal democracy prevails.
Other eminent Indian Americans including Yogi Chugh; Vinod Khosla (entrepreneur, investor and technologist), businessman Kanwal Rekhi, who is credited as the first Indian-American Founder and CEO to take a venture-backed company public on the NASDAQ, shared similar sentiments about the strategic importance of the relationship, according to those familiar with the meeting and its content.
Indiaspora founder MR Rangaswami presented Garcetti with a book about the rise of Indian Americans. The Los Angeles Mayor told the select community leadership that he would be relying a lot on Indian Americans to inform his views in this new role.

On a dizzying day, the team that finished with the second-most points in the Eastern Conference last season continued its Great Makeover.
The Flyers made several moves Friday, highlighted by the signing of two players with ties to archrival Pittsburgh - the once-great Jaromir Jagr, 39, and third-line center Max Talbot.
They also lost Ville Leino, who signed a surprising six-year, $27 million free-agent deal ($4.5 million cap hit) with Buffalo, the team the gifted winger helped the Flyers beat in this year's conference quarterfinals.
Oh, and they dealt Kris Versteeg to Florida, watched free agents Brian Boucher (Carolina), Sean O'Donnell (Chicago), and Dan Carcillo (Chicago) sign elsewhere, and signed veteran defenseman Andreas Lilja.
Friday was the first day to sign free agents, and the Flyers were one of the league's most active participants.
If you are scoring at home, the Flyers have lost 10 players, through trades or free agency, since the season ended.
And they don't appear to be done. The Flyers have about $3.3 million in cap space, which will grow to about $4.4 million when Ian Laperierre goes on the long-term injured list. They still plan to sign restricted free agent Wayne Simmonds, acquired in the Mike Richards trade with Los Angeles, and would like to add another winger - they have had discussions with the agent for former Flyer Simon Gagne, a free agent.
The Flyers are counting heavily that the 6-foot-3, 240-pound Jagr, a winger who is a five-time NHL scoring champion, has not lost too much productivity.
"Jaromir Jagr is one of the better players at the cycle game that there is in the game," said general manager Paul Holmgren, adding that Jagr was a fitness fanatic and that he wasn't concerned about his age. "He's a big, strong guy who can really control the puck in the offensive zone, and he's a big body in front of the net, too."
Holmgren conceded that it would have been difficult for the Flyers to pursue Jagr if they had been able to re-sign Leino.
Jagr, who played the last three seasons in Russia, will be a key cog on the Flyers' power play and could be on the team's top line, while Talbot will be an anchor on the penalty-killing unit. Talbot helped the Penguins finish with the league's best PK last season.
Jagr, who has 646 career NHL goals, signed a one-year deal for $3.3 million - reportedly $1.3 million more than Pittsburgh offered. The Penguins and Detroit dropped out of the bidding early Friday.
Talbot, who had the winning goal in Game 7 of the 2009 Stanley Cup Finals for Pittsburgh, signed a five-year deal that totals $9 million. The 27-year-old Talbot had eight goals and 13 assists for Pittsburgh last season.
By all accounts, Talbot is a character guy and a locker-room leader - and the Flyers hope his shot-blocking skills will remind folks of the gritty Laperriere.
"It's exciting. It's a new challenge," Talbot said. He called the Flyers "a great team" and said that was one of the reasons he picked them.
"I wanted to go with a team that had a chance to win a championship this year," he said.
Later in the day, the Flyers sent Versteeg to Florida. They will receive the Panthers' second-round pick in either 2012 or 2013 (Florida's choice), and also will get San Jose's third-round pick in 2012, which Florida previously had acquired.
The Flyers also signed restricted free agent Jakub Voracek for one season at $2.25 million. The winger was acquired in the deal that sent Jeff Carter to Columbus.
After a brilliant NHL career, Jagr went to Russia's KHL for the last three seasons. In his last NHL season, he had 25 goals and 46 assists for the New York Rangers in 2007-08.
Yes, the Flyers would be thrilled with that kind of production.
Last year, Jagr had 19 goals and 31 assists in the KHL, then had five goals in nine games for the Czech Republic national team in the IIHF World Championships.
It was at the world championships that Flyers scouts became intrigued by Jagr.
"Our guys who saw him there thought he was - well, he was one of the better forwards. He was named to the all-star team at the world championships," Holmgren said. "We think he can play at this level. We know he can. And we believe he can still put up a lot of points, so we're certainly excited to have him."
The Flyers also signed the 6-3, 220-pound Lilja, a soon-to-be 36-year-old defenseman who had one goal and six assists for Anaheim last season and was minus-15.
Because the Flyers do not have many big bodies at center, they showed interest in Michal Handzus (6-4, 219). But they bypassed the former Flyer, and he signed a two-year with San Jose for a total of $5 million.
Earlier in the day, the Flyers didn't think that Erik Cole was worth the asking price, and the winger signed a four-year, $18 million deal ($4.5 million cap hit) with Montreal.


Two of the leading decorative radiator manufacturers are Stelrad and Myson who create some of the most unique and effective radiators that are currently available. Myson in particular create some of the best visual radiators that you would be able to find anywhere.
One of the best Myson radiators is the Seine which has been created using contemporary design methods and will provide a real talking point for any room that it is in. The seine has been made to be a unique piece by sculpting metal tubes around each other.
The Seine is also quite powerful with a maximum heat output of 675 Watts (2303 BTU/h) which would be more than enough to heat the room.
Another uniquely designed Myson radiator is the Legato which is an electric alternative which consists of a granite panel available in two finishes, black or grey granite. The legato also comes with option of having a towel rail attached which wraps round the granite panel.
The legato is designed to look good in any room that it is placed and it is also practical because of the removable towel rail. The radiator also produces a powerful maximum heat output of 1000 Watts (3412 BTU/h) which will easily heat any room in which it is situated.
Legato is the electric alternative and also provides a very unique design which would easily fit into any rooms designs, The Legato provides a high output of 1000 Watts as well.
Not to be outdone Stelrad have also created some very unique and practical decorative radiators. One of the best ones that Stelrad have created is the Optia because of its unique design and practicality. The Optia's design is two simple curves on either side with towel shelves in between to provide the practicality with the original design idea.
Stelrad have also created theExcel which provides a flat panel with a lattice effect on it. This radiator could be sued in any room and can even be used in offices as a space divider or simply as a heat supply. The Excel can also be wall or floor mounted which provides a lot of flexibility to where it can be placed.
You have mentioned about two radiators. these are very good. i want to purchase towel radiator please suggest me good place..


Frequent episodes of headache, typically bilateral, pressing or tightening in quality and of mild to moderate intensity, lasting minutes to days. The pain does not worsen with routine physical activity and is not associated with nausea, although photophobia or phonophobia may be present.
When headache fulfils criteria for both 1.5 Probable migraine and 2.2 Frequent episodic tension-type headache, code as 2.2 Frequent episodic tension-type headache (or as either subtype of it for which the criteria are fulfilled) under the general rule that definite diagnoses always trump probable diagnoses.
2.2 Frequent episodic tension-type headache often coexists with 1.1 Migraine without aura. Both disorders need to be identified, preferably through use of a diagnostic headache diary, because the treatments of each differ considerably. It is important to educate patients to distinguish between these headache types if they are to select the right treatment for each while avoiding medication overuse and its adverse consequence of 8.2 Medication-overuse headache.

PentahoWorld, the first user conference for this 10-year-old supplier of data integration and business intelligence that provides business analytics, attracted more than 400 customers in roles ranging from IT and database professionals to business analysts and end users. The diversity of the crowd reflects Pentaho's broad portfolio of products. It covers the integration aspects of big data analytics with the Pentaho Data Integration tools and the front-end tools and visualization with the Pentaho Business Analytics. In essence its portfolio provides end-to-end data to analytics through what they introduced as Big Data Orchestration that brings governed data delivery and streamlined data refinery together on one platform.
Pentaho has made progress in business over the past year, picking up Fortune 1000 clients and moving from providing analytics to midsize companies to serving more major companies such as Halliburton, Lufthansa and NASDAQ. One reason for this success is Pentaho's ability to integrate large scale data from multiple sources including enterprise data warehouses, Hadoop and other NoSQL approaches. Our research into big data integration shows that Hadoop is a key technology that 44 percent of organizations are likely to use, but it is just one option in the enterprise data environment. A second key for Pentaho has been the embeddable nature of its approach, which enables companies, especially those selling cloud-based software as a service (SaaS), to use analytics to gain competitive advantage by placing its tools within their applications. For more detail on Pentaho's analytics and business intelligence tools please my previous analytic perspective.
A key advance for the company over the past year has been the development and refinement of what the company calls big data blueprints. These are general use cases in such areas as ETL offloading and customer analytics. Each approach includes design patterns for ETL and analytics that work with high-performance analytic databases including NoSQL variants such as Mongo and Cassandra.
The blueprint concept is important for several reasons. First, it helps Pentaho focus on specific market needs. Second, it shows customers and partners processes that enable them to get immediate return on the technology investment. The same research referenced above shows that organizations manage their information and technology better than their people and processes; to realize full value from spending on new technology, they need to pay more attention to how the technology fits with these cultural aspects.
At the user conference, the company announced release 5.2 of its core business analytics products and featured its Governed Data Delivery concept and Streamlined Data Refinery. The Streamlined Data Refinery provides a process for business analysts to access the already integrated data provided through PDI and create data models on the fly. The advantage is that this is not a technical task and the business analyst does not have to understand the underlying metadata or the data structures. The user chooses the dimensions of the analysis using menus that offer multiple combinations to be chosen in an ad hoc manner. Then the Streamlined Data Refinery automatically generates a data cube that is available for fast querying of an analytic database. Currently, Pentaho supports only the HP Vertica database, but its roadmap promises to add high-performance databases from other suppliers. The entire process can take only a few minutes and provides a much more flexible and dynamic process than asking IT to rebuild a data model every time a new question is asked.
While Pentaho Data Integration enables users to bring together all available data and integrate it to find new insights, Streamlined Data Refinery gives business users direct access to the blended data. In this way they can explore data dynamically without involving IT. The other important aspect is that it easily provides the lineage of the data. Internal or external auditors often need to understand the nature of the data and the integration, which data lineage supports. Such a feature should benefit all types of businesses but especially those in regulated industries. This approach addresses the two top needs of business end users, which according to our benchmark research into information optimization, are to drill into data (for 37%) and search for specific information (36%).
Another advance is Pentaho 5.2's support for Kerberos security on Cloudera, Hortonworks and MapR. Cloudera, currently the largest Hadoop distribution, and Hortonworks, which is planning to raise capital via a public offering, hold the lion's share of the commercial Hadoop market. Kerberos puts a layer of authentication security between the Pentaho Data Integration tool and the Hadoop data. This helps address security concerns which have dramatically increased over the past year after major breaches at retailers, banks and government institutions.
These announcements show results of Pentaho's enterprise-centric customer strategy as well as the company's investment in senior leadership. Christopher Dziekan, the new chief product officer, presented a three-year roadmap that focuses on data access, governance and data integration. It is good to see the company put its stake in the ground with a well-formed vision of the big data market. Given the speed at which the market is changing and the necessity for Pentaho to consider the needs of its open source community, it will be interesting to see how the company adjusts the roadmap going forward.
For enterprises grappling with big data integration and trying to give business users access to new information sources, Pentaho's Streamlined Data Refinery deserves a look. For both enterprises and ISVs that want to apply integration and analytics in context of another application, Pentaho's REST-based APIs allow embedding of end-to-end analytic capabilities. Together with the big data blue prints discussed above, Pentaho is able to deliver a targeted yet flexible approach to big data.
At a conference of more than 3,500 users, Splunk executives showed off their company's latest tools. Splunk makes software for discovering, monitoring and analyzing machine data, which is often considered data exhaust since it is a by-product of computing processes and applications. But machine data is essential to a smoothly running technology infrastructure that supports business process. One advantage is that because machine data not recorded by end users, it is less subject to input error. Splunk has grown rapidly by solving fundamental problems associated with the complexities of information technology and challenging assumptions in IT systems and network management that is rapidly being referred to as big data analytics. The two main and related assumptions it challenges are that different types of IT systems should be managed separately and that data should be modeled prior to recording it. Clint Sharp, Splunk's director of product marketing, pointed out that network and system data can come from several sources and argued that utilizing point solution tools and a "model first" approach does not work when it has to deal with big data and a question-and-answer paradigm. Our research into Operational Intelligence finds that IT systems are most important information source in almost two thirds (62%) of organizations. Splunk used the conference to show how it has brought to these data management innovations the business trends of mobility, cloud deployment and security.
Presenters from major customer companies demonstrated how they work with Splunk Enterprise. For example, according to Michael Connor, senior platform architect for Coca-Cola, bringing all the company's data into Splunk allowed the IT department to reduce trouble tickets by 80 percent and operating costs by 40 percent. Beyond asserting the core value of streamlining IT operations and the ability to quickly provision system resources, Connor discussed other uses for data derived from the Splunk product. Coca-Cola IT used a free community add-on to deliver easy-to-use dashboards for the security team. He showed how channel managers compare different vending environments in ways they had never done before. They also can conduct online ethnographic studies to better understand behavior patterns and serve different groups. For Coca-Cola, the key to success for the application was to bring data from various platforms in the organization into one data platform. This challenge, he said, is more to do with people and processes than technology, since many parts of an organization are protective of their data, in effect forming what he called "data cartels." This situation is not uncommon. Our research into information optimization shows that organizations need these so-called softer disciplines to catch up with their capabilities in technology and information to realize full value from data and analytics initiatives.
In keeping up with trends, Splunk is making advances in mobility. One is MINT for monitoring mobile devices. With the company's acquisition of BugSense as a foundation, Splunk has built an extension of its core platform that consumes and indexes application and other machine data from mobile devices. The company is offering the MINT Express version to developers so they can build the operational service into their applications. Similar to the core product, MINT has the ability to track transactions, network latency and crashes throughout the IT stack. It can help application developers quickly solve user experience issues by understanding root causes and determining responsibility. For instance, MINT Express can answer questions such as these: Is it an application issue or a carrier issue? Is it a bad feature or a system problem? After it is applied, end-user customers get a better digital experience which results in more time spent with the application and increased customer loyalty in a mobile environment where the cost of switching is low. Splunk also offers MINT Enterprise, which allows users to link and cross-reference data in Splunk Enterprise. The ability to instrument data in a mobile environment, draw a relationship with the enterprise data and display key operational variables is critical to serving and satisfying consumers. By extending this capability into the mobile sphere, Splunk MINT delivers value for corporate IT operations as well as the new breed of cloud software providers. However, Splunk risks stepping on its partners' toes as it takes advantage of certain opportunities as in mobility. In my estimation, the risk is worth taking given that mobility is a systemic change that represents enormous opportunity. Our research into business technology innovation shows mobility in a virtual tie with collaboration for the second-most important innovation priority for companies today.
Splunk is building an impressive platform for collecting and analyzing data across the organization. The question from the business analytics perspective is whether the data can be modeled in ways that easily represent each organization's unique business challenges. Splunk provides search capabilities for IT data by default, but when other data sources need to be brought in for more advanced reporting and correlation, it requires the data to be normalized, categorized and parsed. Currently, business users apply various data models and frameworks from major IT vendors as well as various agencies and data brokers. This dispersion could provide an opportunity for Splunk to provide a unified platform; the more data businesses ingest, the more likely they will rely on such a platform. Splunk's Common Information Model provides a metadata framework using key-value pair representation similar to what other providers of cloud analytic applications are doing. When we consider the programmable nature of the platform including RESTful APIs and various SDKs, HUNK's streamlined access to Hadoop and other NoSQL sources, Splunk BD connect for relational sources, the Splunk Cloud hybrid access model and the instrumentation of mobile data in MINT, the expansive platform idea seems plausible.
A complicating factor as to whether Splunk will become such a platform for operational intelligence and big data analytics is the Internet of Things (IoT), which collects data from various devices. Massive amounts of sensor data already are moving through the Internet, but IoT approaches and service architectures are works in progress. Currently, many of these architectures do not communicate with others. Given Splunk's focus on machine data which is a key type of input for big data analytics in 42 percent of organizations according to our research, IoT appears to be a natural fit as it is generating event-centered data which is a type of input for big data analytics in 48 percent of organizations. There is some debate about whether Splunk is a true event processing engine, but that depends on how the category is defined. Log messages, its specialty, are not events per se but rather are data related to something that has happened in an IT infrastructure. Once correlated, this data points directly to something of significance, including events that can be acted upon. If such a correlation triggers a system action, and that action is taken in time to solve the problem, then the data provides value and it should not matter if the system is acting in real time or near real time. In this way, the data itself is Splunk's advantage. To be successful in becoming a broader data platform, the company will need to advance its Common Information Model, continue to emphasize the unique value of machine data, build their developer and partner ecosystem, and encourage customers to push the envelope and develop new use cases.
For organizations considering Splunk for the first time, IT operations, developer operations, security, fraud management and compliance management are obvious areas to evaluate. Splunk's core value is that it simplifies administration, reduces IT costs and can reduce risk through pattern recognition and anomaly detection. Each of these areas can deliver value immediately. For those with a current Splunk implementation, we suggest examining use cases related to business analytics. Specifically, comparative analysis and analysis of root causes, online ethnography and feature optimization in the context of the user experience can all deliver value. As ever more data comes into their systems, companies also may find it reasonable to consider Splunk in other new ways like big data analytics and operational intelligence.

Kapitola první: Zmizení Willa Byerse (v anglickém originále Chapter One: The Vanishing of Will Byers) je 1. díl 1. řady amerického hororového seriálu Stranger Things. Scénář napsali a díl režírovali bratři Matt a Ross Dufferovi. Měl premiéru dne 17. července 2016 na Netflixu společně s celou první řadou.

Děj
Děj se odehrává v listopadu 1983, kdy v laboratoři na okraji města Hawkins v Indianě záhadné monstrum zabije vědce. Mezitím se domů vrací mladý Will Byers z desetihodinového hraní Dungeons & Dragons. Na silnici jej vyděsí monstrum, před kterým se snaží utéct, nakonec však zmizí. Když si Willova matka a bratr, Joyce a Jonathan, následujícího rána uvědomí, že Will není doma, zavítají k policejnímu šéfovi Jimovi Hopperovi. Hopper zpočátku bere hlášení na lehkou váhu, po několik zvláštních událostech se však rozhodne jít hledat Willa do lesa, kde zmizel.

Mezitím se krátkovlasá dívka vydá ze stejných lesů do místní restaurace, kde začne majiteli Bennymu krást jídlo. Benny ji pronásleduje, poté si však uvědomí, o koho jde, dá ji najíst a zavolá na sociální služby. Dívka nemluví, ale Benny si všimne tetování na paži s nápisem "011" a začne ji nazývat Jedenáctka. Když dorazí lidé vydávající se za pracovníky sociálních služeb, zastřelí Bennyho a Jedenáctka si uvědomí, že tito lidé jsou z laboratoře, kde se dříve nacházela. Jedenáctka uniká s využitím svých telekinetických schopností a utíká zpět do lesa, kde se setkává s Willovými nejlepšími přáteli, Mikem, Dustinem a Lucasem, kteří se vydali hledat Willa na vlastní pěst.

Přijetí
Epizoda byla kritiky dobře přijata. Internetový časopis PopMatters uvedl, že díl "zachycuje strach a 80. léta tak skvěle, až to vypadá, že Netflix jej napíchl injekcí šíleného vědce, aby byla zajištěna maximální autenticita." Pozitivní hodnocení získal díl také od Travel Spots.

Bratři Dufferovi vyhráli Primetime Emmy Award za vynikající scénář a režii a také cenu Directors Guild of America za mimořádný režijní úspěch v dramatickém seriálu za Zmizení Willa Byerse. Ocenění za práci na epizodě získali i další lidé.

Daft Punk Will Be Joined By Stevie Wonder At Grammys
The electro duo will have a host of guests at the awards show...
Following the phenomenal success of Daft Punk will be taking the stage at this year's Grammys where they'll be joined by legendary soul singer Stevie Wonder.
The masked twosome are up for five Grammys including Album of the Year.
According to Rolling Stone, Daft Punk will take part in a musical extravaganza to honour their "multi-nominated music". Other guests scheduled for the star-studded performance include Pharrell and Nile Rodgers, plus the album's original session band.
They have not yet performed live in support of the album, which came out in May last year and was the year's fastest selling album, until it was beaten by One Direction's Midnight Memories.
In fact, the show will mark the first time the French duo have appeared live since the 2008 Grammys, when they performed with Kanye West.
During the awards ceremony, which will take place in Los Angeles on 26th January, Hollywood's movers and shakers will also be treated to performances from Pink and Kendrick Lamar.

Akron researchers launch adhesive products inspired by gecko feet
Updated: Jan. 16, 2019, 9:53 a.m. |
Published: Jan. 15, 2019, 4:01 p.m.
Akron Ascent Innovations ShearGrip adhesive doesn't feel tacky, so it leaves no residue ,and it secures more than 50 pounds per square inch on drywall, metal, fabric and other surfaces.
Jennifer Conn, Akron reporter, cleveland.com
AKRON, Ohio – A startup research company is testing its ultra-strong adhesive, inspired by gecko feet and being marketed as ShearGrip, at an Akron-area nursing home, a downtown eatery and elsewhere in the area.
Akron Ascent Innovations plans to use the feedback on its adhesive to develop next-generation materials for health care, aerospace, cosmetics and other industries, company COO Kevin White told cleveland.com.
"The goal is to let other people handle the product, to validate that people are using it and enjoying it," said White, who also serves as AAI's principal scientist. "We're looking for creative people to handle the product."
While most adhesives rely on liquids or chemical reactions, ShearGrip is a dry adhesive that gets its strength from millions of connecting fibers 100 times stronger than a strand of hair, White said.
It doesn't feel tacky, so it leaves no residue, and it secures more than 50 pounds per square inch on drywall, metal, fabric and other surfaces, he said.
Its properties are unique. If pulled off one way, it comes off easily without leaving residue. Pulled in a different direction, it can drag furniture, he said. It's also reusable.
White, whose research was in clean energy, co-founded the company with UA professor Josh Wong, AAI's chief technology officer. Wong was already working with Barry Rosenbaum on developing a bio-adhesive. AAI was awarded a National Science Foundation grant for the work and White was the first hire.
White moved back to Akron and the researchers moved into the Akron Global Accelerator, now Bounce. The new space gave them room to expand and to experiment.
AAI launched ShearGrip products not to begin a commercial enterprise, but to understand the best direction to take the company's research, White said.
In a pilot program, a local nursing home is using ShearGrip to hang photos and other items, eliminating potentially dangerous hardware on walls, White said.
The adhesive also is in use at Canal Commons Cafe and Eatery on South Main Street. While having lunch, White noticed a waitress struggle to keep credit card machines on the tables. ShearGrip now secures the machines.
"The early adopters have been telling us it works like magic," White said.
Once enough feedback is collected, the researchers plan to develop next-generation materials for health care, aerospace, cosmetics and other industries.
"The purpose is not to get rich and live off the sales of this," White said. "It's the excitement of working with a new material. It will always be about new development."

I travel frequently across Canada and I love learning about all of the different aspects of Canadian cuisine and, in turn, discovering what makes Alberta's food scene special.
And I'd like to be seated next to Adam Rapoport, editor of Bon Appétit magazine. I'd be interested in his perspective on the food writing world. He took Bon Appétit from a borderline outdated publication 5 or so years ago and turned it into something much more contemporary and dynamic.


High Country Colorado local Jake Pates competes in the snowboard superpipe qualifiers during the Dew Tour on Dec. 14 2017, at Breckenridge Ski Resort. This December, Dew Tour will work with Denver-based Snow Park Technologies to build a "re-imagined" superpipe cours,e complete with a double-spine feature at the top of the course that leads into the pipe.
Elliot Cone and the team at Snow Park Technologies hope they are reimagining what halfpipe contests can be with their new plans for the Dew Tour superpipe.
Come Dec. 13-16 at Breckenridge Ski Resort, the annual superpipe event will have a different look and feel compared to previous competitions thanks to a double-sided spine at the top of the superpipe. This non-traditional, freestyle feature will allow skiers and riders to execute one freestyle trick before landing on a traditional jump that then leads into the actual superpipe portion of the course.
The superpipe itself will be 300 feet long this year after that initial spine-to-traditional jump start on the new superpipe course. That's about half the length of a traditional Dew Tour superpipe, such as last year's, Cone said.
Then at the bottom of the 300-foot stretch of superpipe, Cone said the current plan is for the course to flatten out from a traditional 18-degree superpipe slope into "tombstone" features. This means athletes will have the chance to execute one final trick from that flat slope to a traditional wall to a traditional landing. As of current renderings, which are subject to change, there are two traditional landings on either side at the base of the pipe. This, as opposed to the more traditional halfpipe course, is where skiers and snowboarders complete their final trick on the superpipe wall.
"It kind of goes back to the outsides," Cone said.
This isn't the first year Dew Tour has taken a fresh approach to what a superpipe course can be. Last year, Dew Tour's superpipe was as traditional as traditional can be as the event also served as a qualifying event for the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Pyeongchang 2018 Olympic team. Before 2017, though, the Dew Tour experimented with adding features such as jibs to the actual top of the halfpipe walls.
Thinking back, Cone said that strategy inadvertantly affected the flow, amplitude and speed of the tricks athletes attempted on the superpipe.
In total, Cone said the current plan for the full superpipe course will push 850 feet of rideable features, which is longer than a traditional superpipe.
Cone is no stranger to Dew Tour or Breckenridge. He's been a part of every winter Dew Tour since the event's inception, helping as a builder and designer. He also worked for Breckenridge Ski Resort for a dozen years — an original member of the resort's terrain park crew — and at Keystone Resort for three years — where he worked as terrain park manager — before he became a full-time employee with Snow Park Technologies based out of their Denver Tech Center offices.
A former head builder at the Breckenridge terrain park, Cone said he and his Snow Park tech team is tasked annually with taking the concept from Dew Tour and figuring out what is feasible in the actual snow. He then presents it back to them before several modifications are finalized. Cone also said Breckenridge's terrain park manager, Greg Davidson, and members of Davidson's team play a crucial role in the process.
And, of course, the elite athletes influence things, too.
Cone added that this year's slopestyle course will more go back to how it looked two years ago compared to last year, when the event complied with Olympic-qualifying standards.
Rather than one slopestyle run that combines jib and jump features, this year's slopestyle competition will be separated into two different sections: a three-jump section and a four-jib section.

Q: ¿Por que mi estado queda en Null en React? Estoy aprendiendo React, sin embargo tengo una duda, Estoy manejando un estado que guarde una IP para luego pasarle dicha Ip a una API y me traiga la hora actual basada en la ip publica del usuario.
Sin embargo el hacer la peticion en el useEffect mi variable entra a la petiicion de la API como null
const [ip, setIp] = useState(null)

 useEffect(() => {

    const getIP = async () => {
        try {
            const results = await fetch('https://api.ipify.org?format=json');
            const data = await results.json();
            const dataIp = data.ip;
            setIp(dataIp);
        }
        catch{
            console.log(error)
        }
    }
    getIP()
    setTimeout(() => {
        const getLocalDate = async () =>{
            try{
                const results =  await fetch(`http://worldtimeapi.org/api/ip/${ip}`)
                const data = await results.json()
                const localDate = new Date(data.datetime.split('.')[0])
                setHour(localDate)
                setLoading(false)
            }
            catch{
                setLoading(false)
                setError(true)
            }
        }
        getLocalDate()
    },3000)
}, []);

A: Considera que estas haciendo dos request dentro del mismo useEffect, por lo cual el valor del ip sólo será visible dentro del próximo render.
Una forma de solucionarlo sería crear un segundo useEffect que observe tu estado iP y se ejecute sólo cuando cambie su valor.
useEffect(() => { //... llamada a la API pasandole la IP }, [ ip ])

Nos comentas si te funciona :D

A: El problema es que el estado en react es asíncrono y la única forma de saber que el estado ha cambiado es pasándole dicho estado como dependencia a un useEffect.
En tu caso, tu useEffect sólo se está ejecutando en el primer render, por lo que el estado "ip" siempre será nulo. Deberías separar las dos request en diferentes useEffect y agregar la ip como dependencia, de la siguiente manera:
  useEffect(() => {
    getIP();
  }, []); // En el primer render haces la request para recuperar la ip

  useEffect(() => {
    if (ip) { // con este if te aseguras de hacer la llamada siempre que haya valor
      getLocalDate();
    }
  }, [ip]); // Este useEffect se ejecutará siempre que el estado "ip" cambie

Como buenas prácticas, ya que estás empezando, deberías tener en cuenta que un useEffect sólo debería hacer una cosa, que se ponen al principio del archivo y en orden de ejecución. Y que hacer un setTimeout siempre debería ser tu última opción ;)

Silence or Speed up your Hard Drive
Updated • May 9, 2013
Automatic Acoustic Management is a feature that most modern hard drives support. It can be set to different values that determine a drive's seek noise generation and seek speed. Basically, the lower you set the value the lower the seek noise and performance, and vice verse.
Most hard drives have this feature disabled but it is possible to enable it using a tool like Silent drive or the programs listed below. If it is enabled, it is usually set to maximum performance, so that you can reduce the noise a hard drives make by changing the setting. Please note that Silent Drive is only working with IDE drives at the moment and that the gui is in German.
Run silent drive after unzipping the 18K freeware to a location on your hard drive. It should automatically detect your IDE drives and display the drives current setting, it will most likely be disabled. To silence your hard drive you select the
leise (silent) switch. Mittel (medium) means a balance between performance and noise and laut (noisy) means maximum performance but more noise. Click on seek-test after you changed the setting to hear how noisy your hard drive is.
You can change the settings back to default of course and everything will be as it was. The settings you make are saved by the hard drive itself. It may be that your BIOS is reverting the changes on every start. This would mean that your only option would be to add silent drive to your autostart.
The parameter looks like the following:
SlilentDrive -d0 -mo
with -d0 to -d3 identifying the hard drive and -m0 (off), -mm (medium) and -mq (silent)
An alternative that also works with SATA hard drives is Hitachis Feature tool. While created by Hitachi, it needs to be noted that it works with most non-Hitachi hard drives as well. Hitachi provides a download of a boot disk or iso image of the tool which you have to boot your computer from to use it. The great thing about this is that users that are not using Windows XP or 2000 will be able to change the settings using the boot disc.
Update: The Silent Drive website is no longer available. We have uploaded the latest program version to our own server from where you can download it to your computer. Click on the following link to do just that: [Download not found]
Update 2: The recently reviewed HDDScan comes with acoustic management capabilities. Start the program, select the IDE hard drive, click on the New Task button and select Features > IDE Features from the options.
Here you get options to manually change the acoustic management feature of the hard drive.

Plans for a breath-taking, suspended swimming pool named 'Sky Pool' have been unveiled for Embassy Gardens – the residential heart of London's newest neighbourhood, Nine Elms on the South Bank.
The stunning outdoor pool will link two residential buildings at the 10th storey – a world first – and allow residents to swim from one building to the next. The sky deck at the top of the two buildings incorporates a spa, summer bar and Orangery for residents to relax and take in the views of London icons which include the Houses of Parliament, London Eye and new US Embassy located next door. The pool is entirely transparent and structure free, 25m long, 5m wide and 3m deep with a water depth of 1.2m. Designed by Arup Associates, with specialist input from Eckersley O'Callaghan and aquarium designers Reynolds, the experience is intended to be more akin to an aquarium than a pool, with glass that is 20cm thick.
The buildings that the pool link are part of the second phase of the development which will be released to market in September, soon after the first residents have started to move in following the completion of phase one.

DEVS KNOW: MARIO MAKES THIS SPECIAL
By Larry Brooks
May 12, 2001 | 4:00am
THE Devils cross their hearts and hope to die if they're not telling the truth. Coming from them, a team that has emerged as one of the most outspoken and candid in NHL history, there's no reason not to take them at their word.
No reason to disbelieve the defending champions when, one by one, they look you in the eye and say that they never considered the potential negative impact on their own team when Mario Lemieux made his historic return to the NHL in December, and instead cheered the news like everyone else in the world.
"The credibility Mario brings to our league, it would have been selfish for us not to sincerely welcome him back and be glad to have him back," Larry Robinson, charged with devising the detour around Route 66 in order to return to the Cup Finals, said following yesterday's practice at South Mountain Arena. "Not to diminish anyone else in the league, but there are some players who simply cannot be replaced; it was like that when The Rocket first left.
"Players like Maurice Richard and Mario Lemieux are simply special. It's nice to have someone of Mario's stature back in the league. It's nice for our team to have the challenge of beating his team to get where we want to go. It's a good shot in the arm for the league to have him back and still playing at this stage of the season."
Tonight, the Meadowlands will act as the stage for Game 1 of the Eastern Finals, the defending Cup champions against Lemieux and his Penguins. Maybe the NHL would have been happier with a Toronto-Pittsburgh matchup for its chauvinistic appeal to Canada (before the Tie Domi incident, anyway), but for a Devils team that wants recognition, victory in this series will provide much of it. The Devils are in a series with some sex appeal.
"My thoughts at the time he made his announcement are exactly the same as they are now – it's great for hockey to have Mario back," Bobby Holik, who will be matched as often as possible against Lemieux, said. "We had other superstars, but none of that stature.
"For whatever reason, the younger stars don't seem to be able to carry the torch the way Wayne Gretzky, Mario and Mark Messier have, they don't seem to have the personalities necessary to draw casual sports fans to the game. Mario can do that; he can pull fans over and increase interest in hockey. He carries himself with class all of the time. He has a positive effect on the league.
"Now that we're playing against the Penguins with him in the lineup, it gives us the opportunity to compete against the best in the game. I'm looking forward to it."
Martin Brodeur said it over and over during the Toronto series, that he was not playing against Curtis Joseph so much as standing 176 feet away from him. Now, though, Brodeur will be playing against Lemieux, who just happens to be his best friend's idol.
"My friend Claude back home in Montreal, he thinks Mario is God; he's his idol," the goaltender said. "My first few years in the league, I'd call Claude after games where we played Pittsburgh, and just about every game, I'd have to say, 'He scored two; he scored three.' I couldn't stop him. This year I got him a little bit, though."
This year, Brodeur made perhaps the most stunning back-to-back saves in NHL history when he somehow denied, first, Jaromir Jagr, and then Lemieux on the rebound of a two-on-uh-oh with one minute to go in overtime of what would end 4-4 on Feb. 16 at the Meadowlands. Those stops preceded by a month a startling snow-angel save on a Lemieux third-period breakaway in the March 25 loss that ended New Jersey's 13-game win streak.
"Just from a personal level, the 2-on-0 was the most memorable moment of my season," Brodeur said. "The breakaway against Mario, alone, too.
"When I made those saves, I told my friend, 'I got him.'"
Now Brodeur and the Devils will have to get Lemieux four out of seven. They wouldn't have had to if No. 66 had just remained in the owner's suite. Still, nobody on the Devils is complaining.
"It's so good for everyone to have him back as part of the league, and it's great for me to have the chance to go up against the best player ever," Brodeur said. "Does it make it tougher to win? Sure it does.
"But if we do win, it will be even greater for us. It definitely will be a special thing, to be playing in this series against Mario Lemieux. It's going to be great."
