Discover how to drive your transformations with Cloud Native
What are IaaS, PaaS and SaaS?
What is the difference between IaaS, PaaS and SaaS? QA Learning Consultant Daniel Ives breaks down these common cloud services and explains how to get the most out of each.
by Daniel Ives
Published in 2011, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) defined cloud computing and set out three "service models": Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service and Software as a Service. Over the last 10 years, these have become standard terminology when talking about the cloud. But what do they actually mean?
What is Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)?
The NIST states that Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides "processing, storage, networks, and other fundamental computing resources where the consumer is able to deploy and run arbitrary software, which can include operating systems and applications. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure but has control over operating systems, storage, and deployed applications; and possibly limited control of select networking components (eg host firewalls)."
Essentially, you're doing what you've always done, but doing it in someone else's data centre. In the IaaS model, you're creating a software-defined network and then launching servers in that network. Your responsibilities include patching the operating system, hardening the operating system, securing access to the hosts, paying any license fees (you may be able to rent the license fee by the hour as well and pay for it in your cloud bill), patching the application software and securely configuring the network. The cloud vendor is responsible for the underlying hardware.
The main benefit of IaaS is that you no longer have to guess how much capacity you need, or even buy any servers upfront. If you suddenly need more servers to deal with a seasonal burst of traffic, you can get them at the click of a button. There are other benefits as well:
Ease of experimentation: Your servers are no longer precious resources that are depreciated over several years, they are temporary resources. Stand up a virtual machine (VM), run an experiment and then tear it down again when you're done.
Automation: Access to these resources is achieved via API calls to the cloud vendor, which means they can be scripted. You can have a script that defines what your infrastructure looks like, so you can repeatably and reliably create the same infrastructure and then tear it down again. This is known as Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
Infrastructure services also typically include features such as auto-scaling, to automatically increase the size of your fleet of servers to meet increased demand, and then reduce the size of the fleet when demand drops again, and services around DNS resolution and connecting your on-premise data centre to your cloud network.
The payment model for compute IaaS is typically by the hour (or, depending on the vendor and operating system, by the second). You will also be charged for data transfer in various dimensions. Storage is typically charged per GB.
What is Platform as a Service (PaaS)?
According to NIST, Platform as a Service (PaaS) deploys "onto the cloud infrastructure consumer-created or acquired applications created using programming languages, libraries, services, and tools supported by the provider. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure including network, servers, operating systems, or storage, but has control over the deployed applications and possibly configuration settings for the application-hosting environment."
The key difference between IaaS and PaaS is your level of control and responsibility. You have less control but you also have fewer responsibilities; the vendor is responsible for patching operating systems, and so on.
I think that at the time the NIST definition was published, the intent of PaaS was to cover services like Digital Ocean, Google App Engine and Azure Web Apps, however, the usage of the term PaaS seems to have shifted somewhat. Say your application needs a database behind it, which I'm sure it does. You could use IaaS and stand up a server, install your database software of choice on it, and use it. And you'd be responsible for patching the operating system and the database engine, etc. Or you could just say, "Dear cloud vendor, could you give me a database engine, please?" and have them be responsible for all those things. Some people will say that what I'm actually describing here is DBaaS (DataBase as a Service) but as that's not a part of the NIST definition, and nor indeed are any of the plethoras of XaaSes, I tend to lump it in with PaaS – the cloud vendor is providing you with platform services.
What is Software as a Service (SaaS)?
The NIST definition of Software as a Service (SaaS) states that the "capability provided to the consumer is to use the provider's applications running on a cloud infrastructure. The applications are accessible from various client devices through either a thin client interface, such as a web browser (eg web-based email) or a program interface. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure including the network, servers, operating systems, storage, or even individual application capabilities, with the possible exception of limited user-specific application configuration settings."
Once again, the key difference here is your level of responsibility and control. You have absolutely no access to or control over the underlying infrastructure, but therefore absolutely no responsibility for that infrastructure. Your responsiblity is to control who is allowed to do what, some configuration settings and possibly some customisations if the SaaS allows for those.
I think most people see this as referring to end-user software as a service, like Office 365 and Salesforce. But let's broaden that definition to include things like database software as a service, or message queueing and brokering software as a service, or authentication software as a service, or whatever-as-a-service and see where it takes us.
Payment for SaaS is typically per user, for things like O365, or per API call for things like pre-trained machine learning models.
Going back to my database as an example, I effectively have three options:
Go with IaaS and spin up a virtual machine in the cloud and install my database software of choice. I am responsible for everything, including making the database highly availabe or fault tolerant, back-ups, etc. All the "undifferentiated heavy lifting" that everyone who owns a database has to do, but it doesn't differentiate me from my competitors. I'm also paying for it by the hour, every hour, 24/7.
Use a PaaS database as a service, like Amazon RDS, Azure SQL or Google Cloud SQL, where the vendor stands up a VM for me and gives me limited access to it and gives me options like specifying back-up windows and making it highly available (with a standby server and auto-failover), meaning I can focus on things like optimising my queries and storage structures. As with IaaS, I'm paying for the database by the hour and possibly paying a little more.
Find a "fully managed" SaaS database that meets my needs and just use talk to it using the vendor's APIs. In this instance, I will effectively be paying for what I use, so a database sitting behind a line of business applications that's only in use from 9 to 5pm won't cost me anything when it's not in use (although it should be pointed out that I could "pause" or temporarily take offline IaaS and PaaS databases and save some money).
That third option is very attrative to me, because it means I don't have to worry about any servers at all and I should be getting very granular pricing. There's an increasingly popular buzzword doing the rounds right now – "repatriation" – where people are bringing their cloud workloads back on premise because it turned out it wasn't as cheap as they thought it was going to be. And that's because they're not embracing the full cloud mindset, they're hovering somewhere between IaaS and PaaS with maybe a little bit of SaaS. Utility pricing only works if you're switching stuff off when you're not using it.
The Cloud Native Maturity Model (CNMM)
Something I've come across recently is the CNMM. Set out in a recent book, Cloud Native Architectures by Arora et al, it talks about three axes of maturity:
Cloud Native Services
Application Centric Design
Each axis is a continuum, which will continue to get longer as more vendors provide more features and services. On the Services axis, if you're using what the authors refer to as "building block services", which maps loosely to IaaS, you're at the start of the axis. If you're using what the authors refer to as "managed service offering", which I'm mapping to PaaS, you're further along the axis. And if you're using "advanced cloud native managed services", which maps to my definition of SaaS above, then you're well on the way to maturity.
What I like about this model is that keyword "maturity". No-one is saying that just using those building block services is wrong. Indeed, if you've got an entire data centre to migrate by next week, then just taking what you're doing on-prem and doing it in the cloud is probably your best option in the short term. But as your organisation becomes more mature in the cloud, it should be looking to move along that axis, start swapping out servers for managed services to truly unlock the benefits of the cloud. The Great Virtualisation Revolution was simply a case of shifting from bare-metal to virtual machines. The cloud revolution rewards a complete shift in mindset.
For completeness, the Application Centric Design continuum starts from using modern application design principles to microservice architecture, instrumentation, security, parallelisation and event-driven applications. The Automation axis starts at configuration management and goes through automated patch management, auto-scaling and monitoring all the things, out to cutting-edge services like AI-ops and predictive scaling.

2021 assessment – Latifi's season deserved a greater conclusion
These 2021 studies are additionally a chance so that you can charge every pilot, utilizing the module on the backside of this text.
Like Timo Glock with the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix, Nicholas Latifi might be eternally linked to the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, his crash on the finish of the race inflicting the protection automobile to return out with the result everyone knows. Nonetheless, it's deeply unfair to sum up the Canadian's second season in F1 at this race.
Why ? Nicely as a result of Latifi has proven nice issues with a modest weapon named FW43B, a easy evolution of the Williams FW43 of 2020 on account of the freeze utilized at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Thought-about one of many weak hyperlinks of the 2020 season due to his accidents, poor efficiency and enormous handfuls of tenths behind his teammate George Russell, Latifi managed to beef up his sport this 12 months by competing extra with the Briton. "Monsieur Samedi", who had received this title by systematically beating his teammates at Williams in qualifying, ended up being overwhelmed by the native of Montreal, when he was forward of him by 56 thousandths in Brazil and 85 thousandths in Abu Dhabi.
This was already the case final 12 months, Latifi shone extra within the race. Actually enormously helped by the 2 pilots at the beginning of the Hungarian Grand Prix, the motive force emerged from the 18th place on the primary grid to take the third after the second begin. With gusto, he fought off assaults from a lot sooner rivals within the first stint and got here to the end in seventh, securing his first factors in F1 and giving his workforce their greatest rating for the reason that 2017 Brazilian Grand Prix. ..
Latifi's efforts had been rewarded with a seventh place in Hungary
The six factors of Latifi collected in Hungary had been then joined by the purpose of the curious Grand Prix of Belgium, the place no lap was made beneath the inexperienced flag. Nonetheless, the Canadian has confirmed that he doesn't want rain to carry out. In Italy, throughout a dry race, he circulated within the prime 10 for a very long time and was solely ejected on the finish of the course, after having lengthy resisted the return of Esteban Ocon.
However aside from these encouraging performances, there are nonetheless many issues to criticize Latifi, beginning along with his efficiency in qualifying. By solely beating his accomplice twice, he misplaced his duel on twenty events … A heavy discovering, particularly after we know that the common hole between the 2 males provides a bonus of almost 4 tenths to Russell. And on Sunday, Latifi was extra usually seen within the caboose, battling the Haas of Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin, than within the delicate underbelly of the peloton along with his teammate. As proof, earlier than his accident in Abu Dhabi, he was in final place and was preventing towards Schumacher.
In 2022, Latifi will enter his third full season and, extra importantly, change into probably the most skilled driver at Williams as Russell takes cost of Mercedes. The Canadian is not going to be disoriented, nonetheless, since he'll discover a former System 2 teammate: Alexander Albon, the 2 males having shared the DAMS storage throughout the 2018 season. The Thai driver had clearly dominated Latifi that season. Let's wait and see if, due to his expertise and a few nice performances in 2021, he'll handle to take his revenge within the premier class subsequent 12 months.

Adele helps lucky fan propose to her boyfriend on Leap Day
March 1, 2016, 10:04 PM UTC / Source: TODAY
By Jordan Jackson
Adele delivered all that was promised at her recent world tour debut ... and then something completely unexpected!
Between songs at her Monday night Belfast concert, the singer invited any woman who wanted to propose up to the stage. It's a tradition for females to pop the big question on Leap Day — and Adele was fully prepared to ensure her performance didn't stand in the way.
After one woman climbed to the stage and confessed she was actually only turning 21, the pop star led the crowd in "Happy Birthday" and then politely sent her back into the audience.

It was at this point that Adele got down to business.
"I'll boot ya off the stage if you come on and it's not a real proposal," the singer exclaimed.
Another woman, Hayley, quickly made her way to the stage, telling Adele that she had half-successfully proposed to her boyfriend earlier in the day. "Maybe in a little while?" the singer shouted, not pleased with how the man had responded to the lady's original proposal.

Adele said that the woman deserved a "proper yes," and started a chant picked up by the Belfast crowd. Soon, the entire concert hall was cheering for the boyfriend. "Come on, Neil!" they shouted.
Now, if only she'd sing at their wedding.

Hunter Henry runs in a knee brace
Posted by Mike Florio on September 15, 2018, 10:28 AM EDT
Chargers tight end Hunter Henry tore an ACL in June. Less than four months after tearing his ACL, Henry can run in a knee brace.
"He looked real good," coach Anthony Lynn said, via Jack Wang of the Los Angeles Daily News. "He did some start-and-stop stuff, a little bit of change of direction. It's just so soon. It was amazing how he looked [Friday]. . . . He's been doing some stuff on the side all along, but today, he kind of took it to another level."
None of this means that Henry, who's on the reserve/PUP list, will play this year. But it also doesn't mean he won't.
"The odds are much more that he'll play next year and not this year, we know that," General Manager Tom Telesco recently said. "But we figured let's keep the window open if we can. I think it's great for him. He has that little carrot at the end that maybe, maybe he could play. But we'll be very, very smart with it. Everything would have to perfectly line up. We would never jeopardize Hunter's long-term prospect with doing something now."
A return this year wouldn't be unprecedented, even for the Chargers. As Wang notes, defensive end Melvin Ingram tore an ACL in May 2013, and he played in early December.
The ability to recover from a torn ACL is unique to every player. For Henry, the good news is that everything is going well, so far.

That's good news. I love watching a great TE. Tyler Eifert is a great young TE, but he seems to be injured all the time. Henry could be a real superstar if he can stay off IR.
AJ Cunningham says:
Very happy for the kid. I can see him back for the final 4 games and playoffs. Would be an obvious great addition to their already #1 ranked offense. Be smart HH! Hope to see you back soon
psubeerman21 says:
It's fine that he wants to play, but its a pretty severe injury that needs a year to heal. He shouldn't even consider football until training camp next year. The fact they are letting him do anything like that is irresponsible.

Cut the crap
by Najam Sethi
in Editorial, January 31 - February 06 , 2014 – Vol. XXV, No. 51, Latest Issue, Main Slider
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif met COAS General Raheel Sharif on Tuesday, January 28, to cement the government's resolve to finally slay the terrorists. The same day, he met with PMLN parliamentarians to obtain a green light in launching military operations against the TTP. But the following morning, as his definitive "war" speech was readied for presentation before parliament, there was a last-ditch amendment in it to give "peace" a "final chance" by setting up a four-member committee to hold out the olive branch to the TTP. That is why when the PM finally arrived in parliament and began to unfurl his agenda, it seemed as if all signals were go for war, until he arrived at the last paragraphs and took a somersault.
The PM's meeting with the KPK chief minister a day earlier may have prompted a change of heart. The PTI remained the last hurdle in cobbling an All Parties consensus in favour of war. Therefore the nomination of three religio-political mediators from KPK, including PTI's Rustam Shah (a fierce opponent of any military action against the TTP) suggests that the PM is covering his flanks before launching military action. The reasoning is that when, not if, the Committee fails to persuade the TTP to cease fire, the KPK-PTI will have no option but to fall in line with the war consensus.
But there are strategic problems in this tactical move. For starters, the TTP is making impossible pre-conditional demands – halt military operations and withdraw the military from Waziristan, free TTP prisoners (especially the Big 3 from Mulla Fazlullah's Swat Group, ie, Muslim Khan, Mahmood Khan and Maulvi Umar), pay billions in compensation, establish TTP Shariah in Pakistan, etc. Then there are many unanswered questions: how much time has been given to the committee to conclude whether there can be any meaningful talks or whether the TTP is simply buying time to regroup and upgrade (last October, after assassinating GOC Swat Maj-Gen Sanaullah Niazi, TTP leader Mulla Fazlullah declared that "the negotiations with the government were a component of a war that is continuing"); what if there are divisions in the committee about what to do and how to go about it; who is the committee going to talk to if not directly to Fazlullah's publicly nominated representatives who may or may not be upfront; what if attacks by TTP franchises continue during the talks and the TTP pretends it has nothing to do with them; And so on. In short, instead of paving the way for war or peace, the committee could sow further confusion and controversy and dilute the current consensus to respond forcefully to the TTP's killing spree.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's reluctance to opt for full-fledged war springs from some hard and fearful realities on the ground. Topmost is an expected TTP backlash in the PM's home province of Punjab that has so far been largely untouched by the TTP's retribution policies. The provincial IGP has urgently advised Special Branch and Counter-Terrorist Department to be ready to face the challenge of TTP attacks on government leaders, functionaries and buildings. The problems are three-fold. First, TTP cells in the Rawalpindi-Islamabad area along with SSP franchises in rural Punjab can be activated to wreck havoc and sow fear among the police and populace. Second, the police are neither trained nor adequately equipped for counter-terrorism in the province and make a soft target for ideologically motivated suicide-guerillas fighters. Three, the province is porous for terrorists from FATA and also provides for demographic clusters of similar ethnic groups in which the terrorists can find safety and fluidity. In short, what is a dreadful reality in Karachi already could soon become a distinct probability in Punjab.
But this excuse doesn't wash. The ruling PMLN has always known that one day the chickens would come home to roost since Punjab remains the base of all sectarian and jihadi organizations in the country. These were originally nurtured by the military establishment but have become independent or autonomous in recent years and struck out on their own with links to Al-Qaeda and the Afghan Taliban. However, successive PMLN governments in Punjab have turned a blind eye to them for politically opportunist reasons enabling them to dig roots and expand their networks, especially in the southern part of the province that is now a launching pad for sectarian terrorism in Balochistan and Karachi. Indeed, that is why it is ironic that Rana Sanaullah, the Punjab Law Minister who has always defended his government's dubious role in allowing these non-state organs to flourish, should now come out all guns blazing against them. In an interview to a UK paper, Rana said that "Pakistan is on war footing to smash terrorists… and 174 areas in Punjab have now been earmarked for action against them". The next day, his prime ministerial boss reprimanded him for spilling the beans!
It is time to cut the crap and get on with it if Pakistan is not to become another Afghanistan.

Can Occupy learn from the 1968 Poor People's Campaign?
December 1, 2011 Arthur Lieber Economy, Employment, History, Poverty 2 comments
Most people know that when Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, he was in Memphis to help striking sanitation workers. What is largely forgotten is that he was involved in a larger campaign to address poverty in the United States.
Addressing poverty. Sound familiar? Similar to the current Occupy movement, it was a call for a more fair distribution of wealth in the United States. The movement was alternately known as the "Poor People's Campaign" and "Resurrection City."
The political climate and talking points were quite different forty-three years ago. President Johnson introduced a War on Poverty in his State of the Union address on January 8, 1964. This was less than seven weeks after the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Johnson was able to mobilize support for a progressive agenda in the spirit of the Kennedy administration, although many of the specifics of Johnson's plan including the war on poverty had not yet been proposed by Kennedy.
There were a number of programs established in the War on Poverty that improved economic conditions for poor people and often empowered them to manage projects. But in August, 1965 when Johnson chose to significantly escalate the war in Vietnam, he redirected considerable financial resources from domestic needs to a problematic war 10,000 miles away. The hope that had been generated among low-income individuals and families was dashed. America faced the frustration of rising expectations – promises that had been made and now were not being kept. This was expressed by despair as well as anger as evidenced by the urban riots that spread across the nation in the mid to late 1960s.
Our current frustration does not emanate from rising expectations. Instead we now are in a sea of declining expectations. For all but the very wealthy, hope has been extinguished and replaced with fear about an uncertain and seemingly bleak future.
How is the current Occupy movement similar to and different from with the Poor People's Campaign in 1968? The key common thread is a feeling of injustice that there are some in
America who are profiting as others struggle to reach a livable income. Each movement is petitioning its government and public opinion to remedy the unfairness in our society.
Theoretically the Occupy movement has a much larger constituency, the 99% of the American population that are not in the top 1%. The 1968 Poor People's March was an effort to take that portion of the population below the poverty level (perhaps 20%) to a level which might be regarded as "just getting by."
One of the criticisms of the Occupy movement is that there is no single leader; not even a group of leaders. The Poor People's Campaign in 1968 was an effort by Dr. King and colleagues to organize poor people from throughout the country to meet in our most desperate pockets of poverty such as Quitman County, Mississippi and marching to Washington, DC to petition their government. Along the way they would pick up others who were also struggling for food and shelter.
The Poor People's Campaign suffered a blow far beyond any hardship that the Occupy movement has endured to date. Dr. King was assassinated just as the marches to Washington, DC were beginning. On the evening of his death, over 100 cities across the nation burst into flames. The rioting continued for nearly a week. America was fragmented. Dr. King was actually assassinated just four days after the National Advisory Commission in Civil Disorders (Kerner Commission ) reported to President Johnson that urban riots in the mid-1960s. The seminal line of the report was "Our nation is moving towards two societies, one black, one white – separate and unequal."
Hauntingly, Dr. King called the Report "a physician's warning of approaching death, with a prescription for life." The report illustrated that while that the Poor People's March was not just about economic disparity; it was also about racial segregation. There may be undercurrents of racial tension in the current Occupy movement, but they play a very secondary role to economic considerations.
Following Dr. King's death, it was decided to set up a temporary community of poor people in the nation's capital. As has been the case with the Occupy movement, many others provided support for the demonstrators. I had the good fortune to be a volunteer for the dozen or so individuals in Resurrection City who were from St. Louis, MO. Twice a week, we would go food shopping for them and inevitably get other necessities as they were required. However, the efforts of volunteers was no match for the weather. It rained almost non-stop for two weeks to the point where the community had to be dismantled, not because the police forced people to leave but because it was in fact an unhealthy quagmire unfit for any kind of human habitation.
Not far from what became known as Resurrection City is the National Archives Building. Inscribed on the building is the phrase "What is past is prologue." Resurrection City is part of the historical past from which the Occupy movement can learn.
Regrettably the Poor People's Campaign did not succeed in wiping our poverty in the U.S. The Vietnam War continued to drain resources for seven years. Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" was put on hold as Richard Nixon had other priorities.
The Poor People's Campaign did not succeed in fulfilling Dr. King's dream to enact Franklin Roosevelt's Economic Bill of Rights for all Americans. As the Occupy movement grows and crystalizes its thinking, it would be beneficial to learn lessons from the Poor People's Campaign. One is that a strong and benevolent leader can be very helpful. Two is that a clear mandate for economic fairness is essential. Let's not have this movement fail and then look back on it forty years later wondering what had happened.

This photograph shows actor Iwan Rheon of Marvel's Inhumans, Misfits, Riviera and another world-conquering mega-series whose name has slipped my mind. As the shoulder flash suggests, he is in character as a pilot in the RAF's 303 Squadron, formed during the Battle of Britain. He plays Jan Zumbach, who flew in the mostly all-Polish 303 (he was actually of Swiss descent, but wrote that he was "Polish by upbringing and a Pole at heart"). To begin with the senior officers were British or Canadian, but later in the war Zumbach would become squadron leader of 303.
The film this still is taken from, Hurricane, tells the story of the Polish involvement in the Battle of Britain, how, as the highest scoring squadron in the RAF, with the most enemy kills, they were celebrated and feted, before, at war's end, being abandoned and vilified. There was a shocking survey in 1946 that suggested the majority of the British public thought the Poles should go home. Once there, the returnees who had helped the Allies to victory were shunned, imprisoned and in some cases executed because the Stalinist puppet government thought they had been tainted by their time in the West. In his autobiography On Wings of War (subtitled My Life as a Pilot Adventurer) Zumbach claimed he was given just three days to pack up and leave this country after serving it for six years, even though he was technically a Swiss citizen. As he wrote: "Some of my comrades went back [to Poland].. at first they were given a hero's welcome. Within a year they were in prison on charges of spying for the British."
Jan Zumbach didn't make that mistake. He became a diamond smuggler, running gems by air, out of Paris and Geneva and into Antwerp, feeding the dealers whose stocks had been depleted by war. He also traded in sterling bank notes, most of which were excellent forgeries by the Nazis. Eventually he went on to fly for rebel air forces (often he was the air force, operating a single plane) in Congo and Biafra, before dying mysteriously in Paris in 1986, aged 70. There are discrepancies in some of his accounts in On Wings of War, but even if half of it is true, his was a remarkable life. Sadly, although I tried with earlier drafts of the screenplay, there simply wasn't enough room in the movie Hurricane to tell the full story of Jan Zumbach. Maybe next time.
Hurricane is filming at the moment. It is scheduled for release in the latter half of 2018.

THE LONG DROP
I don't normally review books on this blog because that's not what I do. But I'll make an exception for Howard Linskey's Hunting The Hangman, not just because it is a cracking read, but because its genesis struck a chord with me.
In 1994 I read a sentence in a motor racing report in the Guardian that said: "..and the Monaco circuit is much the same as it was in 1929, when Englishman Grover-Williams (who went on to became a Special Operations Executive saboteur in France during WW2) won the inaugural event." Hold the phone. A Bugatti-driving Grand Prix champion joined SOE's F Section? Not only that, I quickly discovered, so did two others, Robert Benoist and Jean-Pierre Wimille. There's a book there, I thought.
Indeed there was, but, for various reasons (including access to the then still-sealed SOE files), it proved difficult to write. Early One Morning didn't get published until eight years later, by which time I had already produced three US-set thrillers.
Howard Linskey's novel has had an even lengthier gestation. His equivalent of that sentence about Grover-Williams was catching the second half of a documentary on the History Channel about the assassination of Hitler's heir apparent, the ruthless Reinhard Heydrich, in Prague by an SOE-trained Czech hit team. Fascinated, he began researching everything he could find on subject. That was in 2000. Seventeen years later, and after six well-received, hardboiled northeastern noir books (No Name Lane, The Search, The Damage etc. – also well worth seeking out), his novel about Operation Anthropoid (as the mission was christened) has finally seen the light of day. Makes mine look like speed publishing.
In fact, I always felt fortunate that Early One Morning wasn't my first novel. It meant I could get some rookie mistakes out of the way in the first three thrillers, which didn't trouble the bestseller charts – something writers rarely get a chance to do these days, it being perform or die with the majority of publishers. Early One Morning turned out to be, and remains, my most successful novel in terms of sales.
I don't remember Howard Linskey making any rookie mistakes in his first book, The Drop, but again the delay might have been fortuitous, in that by his own admission the early version he produced was a mix of fact and fiction that he was uncomfortable with. The Hunting the Hangman of today is meticulously researched and firmly based, as they say, on actual events.
Having written about WW2 organisations such as SOE, MI9 and MI19 myself, and seen a couple of movies about Operation Anthropoid, and the terrible retributions in its aftermath, I thought I knew the story well. But, in fact, Howard uses his novelist's skills to really flesh out not only the monstrous Heydrich, but also the assassins, who are far from the usual bland action-hero stereotypes. There's bravery, of course, in the tale, but also terrible treachery and cruelty. Historical fiction like this isn't easy to pull off – cleaving to the facts and the real-life characters while creating novel-like suspense. Howard Linskey has pulled it off. It's been a long time coming, but Hunting The Hangman was worth the wait.

The Car That Killed Albert Camus
As I know one half of the writing duo R J Bailey very well, I got a sneak preview of the next book (the first one in the series, Safe From Harm, is out soon) and it features a starring role for the same make of car that Albert Camus died in, although the author wasn't driving the Facel Vega at the time, it was his publisher behind the wheel. The Facel Vega was notoriously tricky to handle – beautiful to look at, with elegant French-American styling, coupled with big, brutal US-sourced engines but not always the brakes to match. The authors unearthed the original owner's manual, which gives a clue as to its unpredictability:.
"Driving your Facel Vega. At high speed drivers are warned to be careful to hold the steering wheel with both hands except when shifting gears; to keep as close as possible to the centre of the road; not to overtake on the brow of a hill; to reduce speed over the brow of a hill as a car might have stopped on the far side; not to look at anything else but the road; not to change the radio programme; not to smoke"
Thank God they didn't have sat navs and iPhones to distract the unwary driver back then. The novel featuring the Facel Vega ("The Hurting Kind") will be out at the end of this year. Meanwhile, Safe From Harm (below) is out in paperback from Simon & Schuster this Thursday (Jan 12).

CONAN DOYLE: THE REMIX PROJECT
This blog is actually about some "new" Arthur Conan Doyle stories featuring Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. But stick with me for a while…
Back in 1998 Sony Records released Panthalassa, a sound collage of music made by Miles Davis between 1969-74, but given a radical reworking by Bill Laswell. Actually, it wasn't that radical, he simply updated techniques used by Miles' original producer, Teo Macero, who was the master of cut and splice and extracting a coherent shape from hours of studio jamming. Regardless of its honourable precedents, there was predictably some outrage from Miles Davis purists, claiming that what Laswell had done was sacrilege. These were the same people who, presumably, were happy to listen to the original In A Silent Way, with its whole section repeated verbatim (or whatever the musical equivalent is) – the last six minutes of the first track "Shhh" are actually the first six minutes of the same track repeated in identical form – the same performance, in fact. (To be fair, only a very few reviewers and listeners noticed this at the time).
But there is another reason why the purists are wrong. Laswell did not destroy the originals of In A Silent Way, On The Corner or Get Up With It. Those are still there to enjoy. And in fact, I play the original and Laswell's versions of In A Silent Way about equally (incidentally, the boxed set of IASW contains two killer unreleased tracks – the blues-soaked Ghetto Walk and Joe Zawinul's wonderful Early Minor).
The reason I mention this is because today (September 3) sees the release of The Case of The Six Watsons where, like Laswell, I have taken something considered as a sacred text and tinkered around with it. I therefore expect similar opprobrium to rain down on me. For I have taken Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's texts and inserted some of my own words into them, this creating a collage of my own (although the majority of the text remains ACDs). The idea is to create "new" Holmes/Watson stories from the template of his non-Sherlock shorts which, let's face it, are widely ignored compared to the 56 that make up the Holmes 'canon'.
Five of the six short stories I used are Conan Doyle stories that were among the hundreds (of variable quality) that he produced in addition the familiar Sherlock Holmes cases. Two of them actually make oblique reference to a famous detective, and in some countries are anthologised with the other 56 short stories (there are also the four novels, of course). The other three stories were the ones I thought could easily be transformed into Holmes tales (in fact, as the title suggests, it is mainly Watson who features in all of them) without disrupting the original text too much. The sixth is an original Watson short story by me, set in Egypt in 1915, when Watson would have been in the Royal Army Medical Corps. So the contents are as follows:
The Beetle Lover. This immediately struck me as one of Conan Doyle's short stories that most resembled a Holmes tale. It has a mysterious newspaper advertisement (as in 'The Red-Headed League'), a job opportunity at a country house with some strange provisos ('The Copper Beeches') and the original narrator of 'The Beetle Hunter' (1898) was indeed a doctor, albeit somewhat younger than Watson. Until now. As with all the stories in this collection, I have changed the title slightly (from "Hunter" to "Lover") so that there is no chance of confusion with the non-Watson original.
The Wrong Detective. This is the story that kick-started the whole idea of recasting ACD stories. In my Watson novel A Study in Murder (for which it formed an appendix), this was called 'The Girl and the Gold Watches', a slight twist on the original title, 'The Man with the Gold Watches'. But I wanted to suggest that Holmes appears in this one, hence the new name. Holmes did get a mention in the version published by Conan Doyle in 1898, as an anonymous 'well-known criminal investigator' who offers some of the explanations that Holmes uses here.
The Brazilian Wife. At its core this is an ACD story called 'The Brazilian Cat', originally published in 1908. My retelling is set during the Great Hiatus, when Holmes was assumed to have perished with Professor Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls. I have inserted various events and references from 'The Final Problem' and 'The Empty House', the two short stories that bracket the Great Detective's absence. This version sees Watson doubly bereft, with both Holmes and Mary Morstan gone from his life. Is it any wonder he acts irrationally?
4. The Prisoner in B.24. Originally written in 1899 (under the title B.24) in the form of a submission to the court of appeal, with no clear outcome. I have substituted Dr Watson for the court and given it a new ending.
5. The Missing Special. There are some anthologies of the Holmes stories, especially in translation,that include 'The Lost Special' (as it was originally called) in the 'canon' (or as apocrypha), becasue the celebrated detective who writes to The Times is clearly Sherlock. His identity is betrayed by he opening sentence of his letter – it is a classic Holmes maxim. So I have re-jigged this story to give the Great Detective and Dr Watson a more central role. Plus in the original (published in1898) there is a reference to a villainous Englishman at work, so I have taken the liberty of identifying him.
6. The Broken Crocodile. Having played fast and loose with some of Conan Doyle's work, I thought it about time I gave myself a taste of my own medicine. This 'samples' a section of a novel I wrote about TE Lawrence (of Arabia) called Empire of Sand. The setting is from that book, but the mystery of the broken bowl is entirely new, although those who have read Dead Man's Land – the first in the Dr Watson at War series – will recognise a character in the opening scene. It is set in the spring of 1915.
For a limited period these six stories are available to download for free as an e-book from the Amazon Kindle store.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Case-Watsons-Robert-Ryan-ebook/dp/B00VBY4H1W
And if you don't approve, then I shall invoke the Laswell Defence, in that the original ACD stories are readily available, unsullied by me or anybody else, in the collections Tales of Unease and Round The Fire Stories.

THE ADVENTURE OF THE LOCKED ROOM
On September 3rd Simon & Schuster will publish The Case of the Six Watsons (see http://tinyurl.com/pcouonn) as a free Kindle book. In it are five variations of non-canonical Arthur Conan Doyle Stories (such as The Lost Special), re-cast to include Holmes and (mainly) Watson. The sixth tale is entirely new and set in Cairo in 1915.
But there is a seventh story, based on The Adventure of the Sealed Room by ACD. I did not include it in the anthology because I thought Watson (and the original narrator) too passive. He merely observes, rather than deduces. Nevertheless, it is quite a fun tale and I am including a PDF below for anyone interested in the style of the Six Watsons. The illustrations are by Claude A Shepperson.

The re-imagined story begins…
THE LOCKED ROOM
A widower doctor of active habits with a busy practice must take what exercise he can in the evenings. Hence it was that I was in the habit of indulging in very long nocturnal excursions from my rooms in Mortimer Street, up towards Regent's Park and, on occasion, to Baker Street itself. This was during those years when my friend was missing, thought dead, and that street and our old address always brought on an attack of melancholia. So, where possible, to preserve my sanity, I stayed to the east of the park. It was in the course of one of these rambles that I first met Felix Stanniford, and so embarked upon what has been the most extraordinary adventure of those lost years which many now call The Great Hiatus.

I had lunch with a spy last week. A real one. It was part of my research for an article on the history of SIS/MI6 for OMEGA Lifetime magazine. I had heard many of his stories before, but I always liked this one. Unfortunately, when I came to look at the finished article it was almost 4,000 words long. SIS has a lot of history. Just to do justice to the grim Philby era eats up the words. So this story had to go but I thought it worth posting here as an example of the men who fought on the frontline of the real Cold War.
The winter of 1947-8 in Berlin is particularly bleak. The city, under the combined occupation of Russia, France, America and Great Britain, still mostly consists of piles of rubble. Food and fuel are in short supply. The surviving occupants are scarred, physically and mentally, by the brutality shown by the Russian forces when they swept through the city. Now, it's a wind from the East that is knifing down the wide streets and bringing misery. The bitter cold it delivers is killing the old and the weak. People are selling whatever they can to stay alive – their last possessions, their bodies and above all, information, for Berlin had been plunged straight into the front line of a new war, a clandestine conflict between the Soviet Bloc and the West. The front line of this battle runs right through the former capital (and, a city in a similar plight, Vienna). And the commodity everyone wants most is intelligence about what the other side is up to. James Fraser, not yet thirty but already a veteran of Britain's various secrets services, is one of the warriors in this Cold War. He is sitting in a shabby café, overcoat and gloves on, his breath clouding the chill air as he sips an acrid cup of adulterated coffee and peers out into the street. Across the road is the Russian sector, marked at this juncture only by a virtual border – no wall, no barbed wire, just the agreed concept that one side of the street is the Red of oppression, the other, Fraser's side, is the Red, White and Blue of liberty.
Some years later, after The Wall went up. But the job was the same.
Fraser is, ostensibly, an administration officer with the Control Commission for Germany. In reality, he is a member of SIS, the Secret Intelligence Agency, sometimes known as MI6. And he is waiting for Otto, one of his 'assets' or agents in the east. As case officer, he is like father and brother to this young man, who is charged with watching train movements to and from the uranium mines of the SAG/SDAG Wismut mining company in Erzgebirge and Vogtland. A mundane job, but vital. The frequency of trains will tell someone, somewhere back in England, just how Russia's nuclear programme is progressing. It is one of the tiny scraps of information that SIS uses to build a picture of what is happening in the East. Fraser has the madams of several high-end brothels over there in his pay, listening for pillow talk from Russian offers, and other assets working in the Red Army's kitchens, for Napoleon was right, an army does march on its stomach, and if there is sudden increase in the amount of provisions ordered, it could be a sign that Soviet soldiers are about to move. Into the West, perhaps. Fraser lights a cigarette and checks his watch. Leo is late. That's not necessarily a cause for concern. He has had to travel across an occupied country where military traffic always has priority. Across the road, a shadowy figure detaches from a doorway. Fraser is careful not to react. Like any good spy coming in from the cold, Otto has been observing the rendezvous, scanning for signs that the meet is compromised. As his prodigal son hurries towards the café, Fraser orders a second coffee for him from the owner. As he turns back, he catches an unexpected movement in the street from the corner of his eye.
Almost seven decades later and it is me sharing a beverage – tea, this time – with James Fraser at the Caxton Grill at St Ermin's Hotel in London, not far from Broadway Buildings, once the home of his old 'firm'. In fact, St Ermin's is something of a 'spy's hotel' – plenty of MI6 men used it and it was once a favoured watering hole of Ian Fleming, who, of course, spent WW2 in Room 39 at the Admiralty as Personal Assistant to the Director of Naval Intelligence. During the war SIS and the Admiralty would have informal meetings at the Caxton, probabaly complaining about that noisy upstart, the Special Operations Executive.
Fraser, long retired but still sharp as a tack and with the impeccable manners of a trained diplomat (which is what he pretended to be for so many years), worked for SIS, and before that its sibling Special Operations Executive (SOE), from 1939 until the early 1990s. I have asked him to tell me the story of SIS from his perspective, given he dedicated so much of his life to the organization. He agrees, but with a number of provisos. He will not name names, unless that person is on public record as having been a member of SIS, and he will give no details of operations he was personally involved in (Otto is an exception, as he used him to make a more general point about the nature of intelligence gathering) or which remain sensitive in any way. What he did in postings to Asia, Europe and the USA must remain off the record. This is, he makes clear, deep background only. I agree. And so much of what follows comes from him.
[You can read this missing section in the next issue of OMEGA Lifetime]
Back at the Caxton Grill, James Fraser agrees that the world of spying has moved on since his day. And not always for the better. He misses the world of dead letter drops and seedy cafes. He isn't alone – how else does one explain the remake of the Smiley books with Gary Oldman and the BBC's recent The Game series, set in the 1970s, all muted browns and beiges and with more moles than Wind in the Willows? What about Otto? I ask as we finish up. Last seen heading for a cafe in West Berlin? A car pulled up, Fraser explains, a new Moskvitch 400 with Soviet Embassy plates. Otto was bundled inside by some hoods and driven off. A few days later, his belongings were delivered to the SIS HQ at the Olympic Stadium (the very same one where Jesse Owens triumphed in 1936) as a message. Otto was dead. Fraser blinks, drinks his tea and rises to go. He pauses. 'You know', he says wistfully, 'despite computers, satellites and drones, I bet somewhere in the world, right now, there is an SIS agent sitting in a bar or café waiting for his contact to show.' And somehow, like me, he clearly finds that thought oddly comforting.

STAR TURN
One of my finest sources of background information when researching my WW2 books (especially Early One Morning, The Last Sunrise and Dying Day) was John Debenham-Taylor who, over the years, has become a friend. This week I learned that he has just been awarded a medal, 75 years after the event. In fact, he now has two medals gained during the war and two awarded afterwards. Both of the post-war medals concern the Winter War in Finland when, in November 1939, Russia invaded.
The Arctic Star
This conflict is little remembered now in this country, but at the time (during the so-called 'Phony War') it was front-page news. Martha Gellhorn sent brilliant dispatches from a bombed Helsinki. An International Brigade, of the sort that fought in the Spanish Civil War, was raised across Europe, with some 12,000 volunteers, including the recently deceased Christopher Lee. Around 50 of these died, a low figure because the Finns (probably wisely) kept most of them from the front line. The Finns were fighting a new kind of war – hopelessly outnumbered, they opted for guerilla tactics. They were the first to mass-produce Molotov cocktails for use against tanks and their lethal, well-camouflaged skiers/snipers became a source of fear among Russian troops. Farmer and hunter Simo "Simuna" Häyhä, known as 'White Death' because of his snow camouflage suit, killed more than 500 Red Army Troops with a Mosin-Nagant rifle.
The British tried to help. It secretly sent obsolete WW1 guns to Finland, although there were no instruction manuals. Which is where John Debenham-Taylor, who was with the Royal Artillery, came in. I already knew his story but digging a little deeper I found an obit of a British pilot who had ferried Blenheim bombers, donated by the British, to the country and had been awarded the Talvisodan muistomitali (the Winter War commemorative medal). Surely John deserved recognition for his service there? So I wrote to the Finnish Embassy:
"John was just 19 and was a very good gunner of 'instructor quality' and a 2nd Lt. When asked if he would volunteer to help 'a friendly nation' under attack (he guessed Finland) he volunteered and along with seven others he was taken out of uniform and sent to Finland in civilian clothes via Sweden.
He stayed there for months, writing manuals for the guns that SOE had smuggled up (mainly 3 inch anti-aircraft guns). Then, with the diplomatic bag consisting of a briefcase plus great crates of Russian guns and bombs for the British to analyse, he went north to the Artic circle and caught a trawler back to Liverpool
The whole story is quite an adventure, and although he did not fight, his commitment to the Finns and his love of them and his time in Helsinki and the countryside shines through to this day. (He even introduced one fellow officer to his future Finnish wife). Because it was a secret mission and because he later became a full-blown SOE operative the story never came out. He believes that, as he was the youngest of the group, he is the sole survivor."
The Finns acted with admirable speed. A new Winter War medal was struck and John was invited to the London Embassy to receive it from the Finnish Military Attaché.
Winter War medal
But the story didn't end there. John's son-in-law discovered that anyone who had served north of the Arctic Circle was entitled to the Artic Star. John had commandeered that trawler, loaded with captured weapons, and sailed in it from the far north of Finland. He even passed Norway while it was being invaded by the Germans. I asked if he had witnessed any of it and, as laconic as ever, he said: 'Actually, no. I was below. I was suffering from terrible constipation – living on reindeer for six months rather blocks you up, or so I found.'
And so, last week, the Arctic Star arrived through the post, almost 75 years to the day after that escape from Finland. Well deserved, and better late (John is 95 this year) than never.

THE CASE OF THE NEW WATSONS
Coming in September, a free Kindle anthology of six "new" stories featuring Dr Watson. In writing these I have drawn upon Arthur Conan Doyle's non-Holmess short stories, as I did in the tale that concluded A Study in Murder. There is also a seventh story, which didn't make the cut, called The Locked Room (based on ACD's The Sealed Room). It will probably appear here sometime soon. Meanwhile, the cover of the new collection looks like this.

CANON FODDER: A "NEW" SHERLOCK HOLMES STORY
In the newly released Dr Watson Book 3, A Study in Murder, the poor doctor is incarcerated in the most feared POW camp in Germany. During his incarceration, he is asked to contribute to the camp magazine. During the process of writing the book, I decided that snippets of the story he creates should be interspersed throughout the novel. But which Holmes story to choose? Even casual fans are familiar with the Sherlock canon, so I decided against incorporating one of the 56 oft-told tales. I could have created a pastiche in the style of Conan Doyle, but I have always tried to avoid that pitfall (it is not as easy as it seems at first glance). My Watson books are, after all, styled after the simpler third-person narration of His Last Bow.
Illustration by Max Cowper for The Lost Special in The Strand magazine
In the end I decided to look beyond the canon and at the short stories which function as Apocrypha to the main body of work, where an unnamed " amateur reasoner of some celebrity" appears. The stories are The Man With The Watches and The Lost Special, both of which appeared in The Strand Magazine and are sometimes included in collections of Sherlock Holmes stories compiled outside the UK (most French compendia include them). If I were to adapt one of those, I thought, using as much of Conan Doyle's language as possible, I might have something that was only part pastiche – a New/Old Sherlock Holmes tale, unfamiliar to most readers.
Illustration by Frank Craig for The Man With The Watches from The Strand Magazine.
So, I set about taking The Man With The Watches and turning it into a full-blown Sherlock Holmes story, albeit one where (as in A Study in Scarlet) much of the action takes place away from Baker St. Although I used only excerpts in the body of the the novel, the entire exercise is printed as an appendix in A Study in Murder. Conan Doyle's story begins:
"There are many who will still bear in mind the singular circumstances which, under the heading of the Rugby Mystery, filled many columns of the daily Press in the spring of the year 1892. Coming as it did at a period of exceptional dullness, it attracted perhaps rather more attention than it deserved, but it offered to the public that mixture of the whimsical and the tragic which is most stimulating to the popular imagination. Interest drooped, however, when, after weeks of fruitless investigation, it was found that no final explanation of the facts was forthcoming, and the tragedy seemed from that time to the present to have finally taken its place in the dark catalogue of inexplicable and unexpiated crimes."
One of the first things I had to do was change the date, for The Final Problem, in which Holmes goes over the Reichenbach Falls with Moriarty, was set in 1891. This was the beginning of the 'Great Hiatus', the years when Watson thought Holmes dead. I also borrowed some lines from other Sherlock stories to set the scene.
"It was April 1890 (and not 1892 as some accounts would have it), as the debilitating bone chill of a lengthy winter had finally begun to relax its grip on the metropolis, when my friend Sherlock Holmes turned his attention to what the daily press were the calling The Rugby Mystery and some others The Girl and the Gold Watches. Holmes had recently completed his investigation into a most gruesome business, involving jealousy and murder. The solution to the case had put him in a rather sombre mood. 'What is the meaning of it, Watson?' he had exclaimed, not for the first time. Peering into the darkest corners of the human soul often caused him to recoil in revulsion at the depravity of his fellow man. 'What object is served by this circle of misery and violence and fear? It must tend to some end, or else our universe is ruled by chance, which is unthinkable. But what end? There is the great standing perennial problem to which human reason is as far from an answer as ever?'
Illustration for The Man With The Watches by Frank Craig.
That resultant brown study, a cloud of melancholia that wrapped itself around him like a winter fog, persisted for some weeks, to the point where I feared he might reach for solace once more in the seven per cent solution. I sought permission – freely granted – from my wife to move back to our rooms in Baker Street that I might keep an eye on him until the black dog was driven away. And sure enough, as the thermometer rose on a certain bright Monday morning, Holmes stirred himself from his regular position, curled on the sofa with a newspaper, and began to pace the floor of our Baker Street lodgings, a practice I knew sometimes drove Mrs Hudson on the floor below us to distraction, for it could last many hours.
I lowered my own newspaper – I was studying an article about the recent rash of card-sharping incidents across the city and the methods the fraudsters preferred – and peered at him. He looked like a freshly coiled spring and something burned in his eyes. I knew that look of old and it warmed my heart. 'Yes, Watson, you are thinking that my hibernation is at an end.'
I felt a surge of relief course through me. 'You don't have to be the world's only Consulting Detective to deduce that, Holmes.'
'Quite so. But, as your faculties are in such good order, you'll be well aware that we are about to have a visitor.'"
The visitor then proceeds to narrate the story (essentially a 'locked room' mystery set on a train) and the narrative follows Arthur Conan Doyle as closely as I could manage, using as many of his own words as possible. It is hoped my publishers Simon & Schuster will put the entire thing online as an e-story sometime this year.

DR WATSON 3 – JUST A MONTH AWAY
The new cover for the next Dr Watson book, out in hardback on January 1, looks something like this:
Those who have read The Dead Can Wait will know that towards the end the doctor found himself in a precarious situation. In A Study in Murder, he is in a German POW camp. It also sees the (un)welcome return of Miss Pillbody, the sadistic "She Wolf" and Von Bork, the German spy from His Last Bow, the Conan Doyle story that kickstarted this whole series. To pass the time while incarcerated, Watson writes a new Holmes story for the camp magazine, and that will be included at the end of the book. I modified an existing non-canonical ACD tale. making Watson the narrator and placing Holmes in the action, so it is a new/old Sherlock tale, mostly using Conan Doyle's original text. More on that nearer the time.

In an article for the Los Angeles Times, Susan Carpenter described the album as "sound collage to the extreme, a comedic smorgasbord that makes excellent use of some of the more bizarre spoken-word snippets that have been committed to vinyl over the years."
