While spiffing up the kitchen a bit, I noticed a stringy something about 2 inches long coming up from the mouth of the garbage disposal opening. Thinking it was a left over corn silk from the steamed vegetables we had prepared earlier, I grabbed it to pick it out and throw it in the trash. It offered a little resistance when I removed it, which got my attention, and when I looked closer I saw that it was a seedling with a root system that had started growing in the folds of the mouth of the disposal. We ventured that the seed we were looking at was either a cucumber seed or a spaghetti squash seed, both of which was used in the preparation of an earlier meal. Barbara suggested that I plant it, which I did, and we are watching its daily growth so we can see exactly what brave seed it was that took root where it was planted to bring nutrition and life into the world.
Freedom and liberty is a precious fruit that has been obtained with a very high price. We are enjoying the fruit of the men and women who have bravely taken root where they were planted to fight for and bring the life to us that we enjoy on a daily basis. They laid their life down for us. This Memorial Day we can all remember what they and their families endured for the high privilege we all share. We can be thankful to God that we have the liberty and freedom that we now have, and we must pray for our leaders that they have the wisdom from God to guide this great nation into continued freedom.
Jesus laid his life down that we might go free. Sin is a deceitful taskmaster. It will cause everything to seem okay in everyday life, and blind your eyes to the eternal spiritual life. In all of life, God wants us to enjoy his peace and freedom. We have that by faith in Jesus. We are like that little seed perched on the mouth of the disposal. When the waters of life wash us on down and the switch is flipped, it is then forever too late. Now is the time to take Jesus.
God sees eternal value in and has honored the life of every person by giving Jesus for us. In Jesus He provided the remedy for sin so that every person could live in his life, love, and liberty both here and hereafter. This Memorial Day we can remember Jesus and all the brave soldiers who have laid their lives down for our freedom here and hereafter.

Opening Switch Impressions
Posted in: Nintendo, Nintendo Switch, Opinion.	Tagged: gaming, legend of zelda, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Nintendo, Nintendo Switch, Switch, The Legend of Zelda.	Leave a comment
Nintendo has completed its abandonment of the Wii U. I got my Switch in the mail on Friday, launch day. I had the chance now to tinker around with everything, kick the Joy-Con tires. I have to say, coming out of the gate, the Switch is pretty much the exact system I was hoping Nintendo would make. It may not be the most robust thing at the moment, and it is lacking in some areas, and apparently busted in others, but for what I am looking for? It's damn near perfect. Let's go into why it is really a Ray system.
First of all, it's powerful, but not too powerful. The Legend of Zelda on the Switch looks amazing, on both the TV and handheld. This has so little to do with the horsepower of the Switch, which I am sure is really just handling the draw distance; of which I actually find quite impressive. Nintendo has always gotten around the lack of power in their systems since the Wii with their fantastic art direction. The Wii wasn't even an HD system, but I would offer up the graphics of Super Mario Galaxy in a direct comparison contest with almost anything from the 360/PS3 era, maybe excluding The Last of Us, and in almost every case, the mustachioed hero would triple jump his way past anything. Nintendo has some of the best art direction hands down. To me it is basically them and Blizzard.
Sure, the Switch is not as powerful as the PS4 or Xbox One, and is further left in the dust as the revisions two those systems make their way into the market. But Nintendo has always proven capable with a less is more mentality, at least with their own IP. While they should not think it is okay to squeak by on their own steam anymore; because it isn't, the power level is certainly at a fine point. Should it be able to run the newest Call of Duty, or Mass Effect? No. There are already 3 options (PS4, XONE and PC) for those games. Nintendo is still insisting on being on its own track, and that is fine.
Independent games are going to feel so at home on the Switch it is silly. While Mass Effect won't be coming to the Switch, Stardew Valley is. I would say I spent just as much time in Stardew as I did in ME2 or ME3. Maybe more. I am not one of those people who think Indies are the end all, be all of gaming, but Shovel Knight is a game that evokes that Mega Man level of fun that has not been seen in a long time, and it runs just fine on a Switch. Plus it is good on the TV or handheld. That is a unique plus for those games, a definite edge over the XONE, and the PS4, assuming the game isn't cross-buy with the Vita. But the Switch is one system, the Sony solution is two.
Lastly, I am someone who can passively multitask usually. I have found myself playing games on my PC, or handhelds lately at home, while my TV is playing something on Netflix. While I will pause the TV for the real moments during a handheld game, I can usually keep up both with no trouble. I love my Vita, and have a ton of games for it, but the initial promise of console-quality games on the go went largely unfulfilled. Instead the system was populated with more niche games that I loved and still love. However, the Switch seems to be the harbinger to that initial promise. Breath of the Wild, as little as I have played seems to be what the Vita's attempts at Uncharted and Assassin's Creed so wanted to be, console magic held in your hands.
And sure, while some compromises had to be made in things like battery life, and the sheer size, the Switch delivers. The software will come, and while it definitely isn't good enough for everyone yet, it is exactly what I wanted to see from Nintendo.

elevation: 1,888 m. height gain: 835 m.
This is a winter route description, other approaches are possible.
From highway 93/95, drive south of Canal Flats and find the Whiteswan FSR on the east side. Follow the service road for 6.5 kilometers to Branch H (south side), 918546; park well off the busy road. We hiked the road for 2.2 kilometers leaving it at 920540 to head south, ascending a cutblock. We followed a skid road, due south, then entered some timber before reaching the landing we were aiming for, 921536. From there, we bushwhacked straight up to a highpoint, 922529, before dipping slightly and ascending to the summit plateau. Once at the northern end of the plateau, trek to the southern end where the treed summit is located; a GPS is useful to locate the true summit, 920488.
Parked on Whiteswan FSR, we head out on Branch H.
Leaving the service road for a direct line of ascent.
Snowshoe trip: RT 8.75; 4.5 up. Late february and march have not seen many weekends, if any, with a stable snowpack; a persistent weak layer continues to plague the backcountry and people involvements are numerous. We've been avoiding big terrain altogether, focusing on lesser disregarded objectives. So far, the puny mountains (Steamboat, Jubilee and Lussier) have been worthwhile winter outings; I wouldn't really consider them in the summer and I can't say I would recommend anybody duplicate these trips... This one proved to be the toughest; with less than ideal conditions, it required a second attempt.
The first time we came, the snow on the road and clearings was firm but the ascent in the trees to the summit plateau was a ridiculous nightmare. We reached the plateau at 2:30 PM, we were gutted! With 4 kilometers remaining to reach the top, we decided to enjoy the sun and come back.
Charles joined us for this second try. We met at the trailhead and quickly got on the way. There was no overnight freeze, we punched in a little more than last weekend; it was especially bad in the clearings before our uptrack in the trees. Once on that track, the ascent was straightforward and relatively pleasant; all the postholing from our previous trip formed a bomber route up to the summit plateau. We reached the plateau almost 2 hours ahead of our first try, feeling fresh for the upcoming trek. The wind was howling and fat flakes started to come down hard. I squinted as I followed and couldn't help feeling that I was trudging on a post-apocalyptic landscape. The denuded plateau with its occasional stand of trees combined with the weather and uniform grey sky sure reinforced that. After skirting a false summit and taking a GPS reading, we dipped down and started climbing the last stretch. The trees were big and nicely spaced, it was snowing even harder but we were kinda sheltered. We joined Charles on the highpoint indicated on his GPS and quickly retreated in the big timber for a break. It wasn't that cold but we were getting damp from the snow, we stayed long enough to grab a bite. When we left, I stood on another highpoint indicated by Fab's GPS, just in case! While returning, the sun tried breaking through on and off. Before entering the forest for the descent, we were lucky to have some sun for another nice break.
Steep climbing in the trees.
The snowpack is unsupportive but we have our uptrack from last week!
On a highpoint, which precedes the last 100 meter jaunt to the plateau.
This resembles a post-apocalyptic landscape.
Snowshoeing conditions are decent on the plateau.
It's snowing hard and it's windy as we skirt a false summit.
Heading towards the true summit.
Travelling through nicely spaced timber.
Taking a break, sheltered from the wind but not from the snow!
Another highpoint 100 meters away.
Our tracks are getting covered by steady snowfall.
The sky finally breaks up.
This eerie scene returns as we near the northern end of the plateau.
Just before our descent, the sun came out!

The Benefits of Hybrid Working
If the past year has taught us anything, it's that how we work is far more important than where we work from. Across the globe, remote working has become the norm and it's opened up a plethora of opportunities for the modern workplace. Which, by the way, will undoubtedly be hybrid.
Hybrid Working is on the rise and with an end to the COVID-19 pandemic in sight, we've already seen an uplift in businesses adapting to this way of working. One such example is that of Nationwide, the UK's largest building society who recently told 13,000 of their staff to 'work anywhere'. And they're in good company. The Work Trend Index: 2021 Annual Report, found that:
So, what exactly is the Hybrid Workplace and Hybrid Working?
Apart from being a slick sounding buzzword, the Hybrid Workplace is a business model that's geared towards the need for increased flexibility in modern business. It's by no means a new concept; however, it has become increasingly relevant as more and more businesses plan their post-pandemic way of working.
Hybrid Working allows some employees to work remotely, be that in a coffee shop or at home, while others work on-premises. Having your cleaning staff work from home probably isn't the best idea, however, other teams such as Development and Marketing could greatly benefit from this model.
"Over the past year, no area has undergone more rapid transformation than the way we work. Employee expectations are changing, and we will need to define productivity much more broadly — inclusive of collaboration, learning, and wellbeing to drive career advancement for every worker, including frontline and knowledge workers, as well as for new graduates and those who are in the workforce today. All this needs to be done with flexibility in when, where, and how people work." – Satya Nadella, CEO at Microsoft
While there are several factors to consider before implementing Hybrid Working, such as technology, the nature of your work and the socioeconomic factors that may inhibit your workforce's ability to work from home, Hybrid Working carries significant benefits when implemented correctly.
1. Improved productivity
A well-structured Hybrid Workplace creates a culture that empowers employees to work to their strengths. Through increased flexibility and independence, employees have the freedom to work when and where they are most productive. Employees will be able to experience the best of both worlds by using the office for scheduling on-premises days for meetings and collaboration, and remote days for tasks that require focus.
In an interview with BBC, Baruch Silverman, founder of personal finance website The Smart Investor, said: "We try to use home working days less for video sessions and more for the tasks that require concentration. A task that may take several hours in the office may be completed in just an hour or two at home."
"We try to use home working days less for video sessions and more for the tasks that require concentration." – Baruch Silverman, founder of The Smart Investor
2. Increased employee wellness and satisfaction
Hybrid Working grants employees the ability to structure work around the rest of their lives, not the other way around. It removes the stress of everyday commuting and allows employees to work without the pressure of only being able to tend to non-work-related commitments when they get home after a long day at the office.
Working from home provides people with disabilities or medical conditions the chance to work comfortably while staying connected. Having a more flexible working schedule allows employees to accommodate healthy eating habits and a regular exercise routine. You're also able to decrease health exposure risks. Fewer in-house employees mean you're able to lower the risk of colds, flu, or any other illnesses spreading around the office.
3. Remove geographical restrictions when recruiting new talent
Removing geographical restrictions allows businesses to access larger talent pools by leaning on remote work as a permanent fixture of talent acquisition. The Work Trend Index: 2021 Annual Report found that Forty-six percent of remote workers are planning to move to a new location in the next year because they can now work remotely. The report also noted that remote job postings on Linkedin increased more than 5 times between March and December 2020. By recruiting nationally (or even globally), you're able to build teams with rich cultural and experiential diversity as well as capitalise on time-zone differences. Thus, allowing you to offer 24/7 customer support or the ability to bring in some extra brainpower during peak business hours.
Become an attractive forward-thinking employer
Less geographical restrictions mean more opportunities for jobseekers. Gone are the days where you could attract and retain talent by simply offering them a flashy salary. As we start transitioning to the new way of working, employees will come to expect flexibility and consideration towards their well-being. It's therefore crucial that you position yourself as a forward-thinking employer by having the right technology and an effective hybrid working strategy in place.
With a flexible workforce, the need for fixed office space changes – allowing you to make significant savings on costly overheads such as electricity and rent. It's common practice among hybrid companies to have a small office space for on-premise staff and separate meeting rooms and hot-desking areas for employees with irregular working patterns. These working areas may be situated in-house or rented from shared workspace companies like WeWork.
5. Be prepared for an uncertain future
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us that life as we know it can be flipped upside down in an instant, which is why it's crucial that businesses remain agile and prepared for change. The Hybrid Working model empowers you to do this by already having the right technology, structure and employees in place to adapt to unexpected circumstances.
While there is still a lot of uncertainty about the future of work, there is also a massive opportunity for forward-thinking businesses to get a better handle on employee well-being and productivity, while benefiting from the cost efficiencies of Hybrid Working. Now is the perfect time for organisations to establish their Hybrid Working strategy and take advantage of the significant cost savings of diverting spend from physical assets to technology. As is always the case, the businesses who fully embrace change with a growth mindset are the ones who will develop a better workplace for everyone.

by Jacopo Mascagni 26 October 2017 Tuscan Maremma
Roccastrada, a medieval hamlet in province of Grosseto
Roccastrada is perched atop a ridge of trachytic rock in a beautiful panoramic position on the border of Maremma plain, in an area historically rich of silver and copper mines. For a long time the village has been part of the possessions of the Aldobrandeschi family until, during the 14th century, it was conquered by Siena that maintained control until the mid-16th century.

What to see in Roccastrada
Born during the Middle Ages, The village has maintained in its higher area, the "Cassero", the typical plant made up of narrow and irregular streets, often linked by stairways and still partially enclosed by medieval walls. In the heart of the city centre you can see the chiesa di San Niccolò (or San Nicola) that, Although it has a façade rebuilt in the twentieth century, is probably contemporary with the castle of Aldobrandeschi and is documented since the second half of the 13th century. Inside, impress the sixteenth-century baptismal font and two Giovanni Maria Tolosani frescoes representing "Madonna with Child" and "Annunciation". Another fresco by Giovanni Maria Tolosani representing "Madonna with Child" is preserved inside the Chiesa della Madonna delle Grazie.

Museo della Vite e del Vino
Just a short distance from the Church, we find one of the landmarks of Roccastrada, the clock tower. Right at the foot of the tower is located the Museo della Vite e del Vino (Museum of grapes and wine), which was housed in spaces, partly carved into the rock, once used as wine cellars. The Museum is divided into three sections; first of all it shows the local peasant culture, then talks about the local wines and in the end exposes the working tools typical of viticulture.
Address: Piazza dell'Orologio 9
Ticket: 3 euro
For more informations please consult the official website of the museum.
The Clock Tower in Roccastrada
In corso Roma, in the lower part of the village a short walk from the Town Hall, is located the "Teatro dei Concordi" build in 1870. Going beyond, in via del Convento, you will get to the aforementioned Chiesa della Madonna delle Grazie.

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! We always eat lunch with Grayson's family at his parent's house in Hickory and then have dinner with my family in the mountains, so needless to say, we are always very, very full. The older I get, the more I love the traditional Thanksgiving meal (and the more thankful I am that I didn't marry into a family that runs a 5k on Thanksgiving haha).
We have turkey, ham, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, green beans, broccoli casserole, congealed salad, slaw, rolls, creamed corn, and all kinds of desserts. I miss my grandparents all the time, but around the holidays, sometimes it just feels unbearable. Have you ever missed someone so much that it physically hurts? It's been eight years since my Paw went to be with Jesus and four years since my Baba, and time hasn't eased the ache at all.
I know so many people who have lost loved ones this year and this was their first Thanksgiving and will be their first Christmas without them and my heart breaks for them. Holidays can be so hard, because while we have so, so much to be thankful for, we can't help but miss those who aren't with us anymore.
My family celebrates Thanksgiving in my grandparent's house, which is nestled in the mountains and is just kind of frozen in time. It almost feels like they're still there. We fill their house with laughter and babies and sink baths and messes and board games and conversations over coffee and pie because that's exactly what they'd want.
We picked out our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving at Elk River Evergreens (this post from last year tells all about it) and it was freezing. I think Harper was the warmest person there, all bundled up in her snowman suit, but the rest of us just about froze to death. The wind was whipping around and it was just bone chilling cold, but another sweet memory, nonetheless.
We went to visit Santa and Landon ran right up and jumped on his lap, as usual. That boy isn't afraid of anything, Lord help us! He asked Santa for a play kitchen, because he loves playing with the one in his Sunday School class at church and at my grandparent's house. It was Harper's first time sitting on Santa's lap and she didn't cry but wasn't quite sure what to think. He's the best Santa ever and after asking each child what they want for Christmas, always makes sure to tell them that Jesus is the reason we celebrate Christmas and it's just so personal and special.
Landon went to the App vs. Troy game with his Daddy and Papa on Saturday and had a blast, of course. That boy loves football! He yells "GO APP!" and "TOUCHDOWN!" and it's just about the cutest thing ever. He's looking so grown up these days!
On Sunday, Grayson had the honor of singing with the Holiday Singers at Halton Theater for the 7th annual Christmas Extravaganza with the Charlotte Civic Orchestra and combined Butler and South Mecklenburg High School choirs, Charlotte City Ballet, and Encore Dancers. It was such an amazing production and I enjoyed it so much! It really helped get us all in the Christmas spirit!
Hope you guys have a great week! We have to put up our tree one night this week, I have my Bible Study Christmas party, and we're going to a parade! So much to look forward to this time of year!


One may have been married for many years, and feel that it no longer is the same as it used to be at the start. When they got married, they might have been filled with love and hope, but today, there is nothing but bitterness, anger, and resentment. One will be happy to know that it does not mean that the marriage has to come to an end, as he or she can find a good marriage counselor who will give the needed help and advice for the problem at hand. If one is able to find the best marriage counselor in the area, then, and decides to schedule sessions with this professional, he or she can be sure that a lot of benefits can be gained through doing so.
There are a lot of things to benefit from marriage counseling, and one of these is the fact that you can talk over problems you might be having, and issues that characterize your relationship with your spouse, in an atmosphere that is healing and positive. One might have tried to talk over issues with his or her spouse at home, but when feelings are hurt, emotions can run over, and the result can be negativity, anger, and even shouting matches. You will find it surprising and good to know that when you talk over issues in the presence of a moderator, things will go much more smoothly, and you may even be able to solve a lot of long-standing problems.
If one decides to go to a marriage counselor, he or she will also be glad that it will be possible to learn how to communicate in a more beneficial way. It can be hard to express one's feelings when he or she is hurt or angry, but a counselor will guide one and help one learn how to do so without hurting the other's own feelings. One will also learn how to listen effectively, and to really feel empathy and understanding for his or her spouse – when one knows how to listen, it will be so much easier to solve problems.
Lastly, one should visit a marriage counselor with his or her spouse, as when he or she does so, and things still fail, one will know the right time to get a divorce. Going straight for a divorce without trying anything to fix the marriage can result in a lot of guilt, but when they do their utmost and things do not work out, they can go for this step with peace of mind.
Visiting the best marriage counselor in your area, then, is definitely a good idea, and you really will be able to enjoy a lot of benefits and advantages when you do so.


The less you feel like talking with God, the more you need to. The things that make you not want to pray, are the very reasons why you need to the most.
Do you ever wonder if He hears or answers our prayers? If you're asking God for big things, wondering if he's heard your cry, look at what you're learning.
You know how it feels. You've trudged up a lonely mountain, sat cross-legged for five hours with a Bible in your lap and prayed intently for answers until your knee joints are screaming.

As a newcomer to home education (my new family have been in this social system for many years but I was only introduced four years ago) it has been interesting to see this different way of learning from all angles. As a previous teacher (hating the bureaucracy involved) I could see the demand for a means of educating a large number of students. However, when I become a tutor to the home educated and eventually a father of unschooled children, it allowed me to see the upsides to home education as well.
There's a difficulty for all sides with the systems involved. Many have our passions, let downs or fear of the unknown. Those who parent via the 9 to 5 system (well 8 to 3.30 really) don't understand what home schooling is about and hence are apprehensive. Our brain's are psychologically designed to have a fear of what we don't understand and, whilst this is unfair and should be overcome rather than used to protest, at least its a reason. On the other hand, many home education families have been let down by the educational system, as well as the local education authorities that supply it. How many times have I tutored pupils who haven't been given the appropriate help, have been bullied at school, or are intimated by the academic examination system. I even have family members who become severely stressed while sitting a primary school test.
But maybe I just inexperienced in the whole thing.
Anyway, I'm digressing. The reason why I'm spouting on is that I've recently become interested in how this system came about, how home education has developed and what the future of education will and should be. Personally, I can't see a way to educating the millions of children in the world unless there is some commercialised system (yuch) but I also believe there will be a niche for those who want to educate by a more individualised means. These are the home ed who will strive to provide for their children's personalities rather than the rules and regulations.
So where did the compulsory system we have today all begin and why is it there? I suppose you have to ask yourself just what education is for. In today's world there are completely different reasons for it but the place we live also in is completely different to that which existed a hundred years ago. Apprenticeships date back to the 12th century, ironically providing an education that many home ed families seek. Rather than a child learning in an academic system they learned skills that they needed for everyday life right up to the 20th century. No-one had to read or write: being able to carry out carpentry or repair a roof was much more important!
However, such systems failed due to their abuse, using children for money rather than to allow them their own future. Don't get me wrong, maybe in those days such things were needed. It wasn't until 1880 that this use of children was finally stemmed (at least for those aged 10 or under) and I've often read about six year old children sent up chimneys during the Victoria era. In the developing world a child's life is often seen as a resource rather than something to cherish and as sad as this is it is one of the harsh realities of life. I guess we must remember that this isn't a system to make one person extremely rich or for a parent to put their feet up but instead it allowed a family to survive.
In 1870 the Elementary Education Act, or Forster's Act, was passed to force children between 5 and 10 into education. This was with the exception of those families who could not afford to give up their children as part of the family workforce. There were several reasons for this act and some of the more cynical can easily see what the government had to benefit. Parents had to pay for the education if they could afford it and I am sure the government had its cut.
There was a fight to keep the British Empire competing with the rest of the world (such as the rapidly growing US, unified German Empire and stale but still strong Russian Empire) and the way to do this was to improve the skills of the workforce. New technology that formed the backbone of the industrial revolution required engineers and not just labourers.
On top, Britain would be introducing new voting Acts to bring more of the public into the election. The Ballot Act of 1872 made voting secret and so more people were happier to vote rather than be threatened or bribed. However, this would require the public to be able to read and write (to an extent) if politicians were to have a better chance of putting their arguments across to the people.
Maybe I'm getting old and bitter but personally I think the new system was for money.
In the end, I believe this reasoning for the Compulsory Education Act in 1880 is seriously outdated. The government now funds education, rather than taking their cut, and many parents are educated enough to provide their children with the three R's that apply to life. We no longer have a developing country where Imperialism is of the utmost importance but a developed world where culture and creativity can be a driving force behind our economy. Of course, this is just the beginning of the system's development and maybe we can find more legitimate reasoning for compulsory education in the 137 years that have since passed. But those are for another article.

Five decades ago, after three years of development in what was one of the most expensive and gutsy moves ever made by a public company, IBM launched the System/360 mainframe and in a way helped to create the modern computer business that we know today.
That these virtual card wallopers are still around is a testament to the fact that software is sticky, that change is difficult or sometimes not worth the trouble, either technically or economically, and that gradual evolution is what makes IT products endure. The mainframe that came out in 1964 bears some resemblance to the family of machines that bear the System/360 label, and ancient code that was written in the 1970s and 1980s still lurks in the memories and disk drives of the many thousands of very large customers who still use mainframes today. (It has been a long time since I did this, but when I used to access a vast database of 500,000 IT sites to do my statistical work for newsletters about mainframes, the database ran on a mainframe and the first thing I would see was this message as MVS booted up my 3270 green-screen session: NO RDR, NO PRT, NO PUN. That was MVS, now known as z/OS, looking for a card reader, a printer, and a punch card. Even after porting to six-core processors running at 5.5 GHz and with layers of cache and main memory and all kinds of other accelerators, the skeleton of a System/360 – and its predecessors – is still lurking inside the machine.
In December 1961, IBM commissioned the engineering study that would bring Gene Amdahl, the chief architect of the line of compatible machines, and Fred Brooks, the project leader who had to cope with the software stack and who learned the hard way that throwing people at massive software projects does not speed them up, but slows them down, together. At the time, IBM had $2.2 billion in revenues. Adjusting that for inflation today, that is on the order of $17.3 billion, and the $254 million in net income the company had prior to the mainframe would scale up to just under $2 billion in 2014 dollars. To create the System/360 line, which would take not just three years to deliver, but more like seven including the full software stack, cost IBM $5 billion in 1961 dollars, or about $39 billion today.
Show me a bet where Facebook, Google, Amazon, or any of the hyperscale startups put two years of revenue on the line for a project. And not when they were a startup with hardly any revenues, but when they were already a blue-chip, public company. By any measure, the System/360 was a bold move, and one that made IBM richer beyond its imagination. By the way, the original "Next Product Line" plan was for IBM to spend $675 million on factories, hardware development, and software development. So to say that it was slightly over-budget was an understatement. (That is again in 1961 dollars.) IBM was breaking ground in so many new technologies, from chip manufacturing to software development, that it would have been hard to keep to the schedule and within the budget. The System/360 also turned IBM into a chip manufacturer on a large scale for the first time, and it also made the disk drives and reel-to-reel tapes that are visually synonymous with the mainframe in culture.
By the fall of 1966, IBM had sold 4,000 of the mainframes and had another 20,000 on order, and it did not take long for Big Blue to make it all back. IBM grew revenues and profits by between 20 to 25 percent per year in the late 1960s, and sales flattened out in the early 1970s as early demand for mainframes peaked and it started delivering System/3 minicomputers, cutting into mainframe sales a bit. Growth resumes shortly as the mainframe had a resurgence and minicomputers took off, giving IBM two healthy – although unfortunately incompatible – product lines, which incidentally live on as the Power Systems and the System z mainframe today.
The success System/360 and its descendants also eventually got it into trouble – again – with the US Department of Justice's Antitrust Division. The monopolistic practices that IBM engaged in during the punch card era were reprised during the mainframe era, and the Consent Decree that IBM signed in 1956 to get the 1952 lawsuit against the company dropped was stretched to cover the System/360 and its descendants as well as the proprietary S/3 minicomputer and its follow-ons aimed at midrange companies that was established in 1969. That was the same year that the Justice Department sued IBM again on antitrust grounds, and that lawsuit dragged on until 1982, when the government dropped the case. IBM was able to wiggle out of that Consent Decree in July 2006, removing any restrictions on Big Blue's practices. But that was only after the mainframe had taken some very serious hits as Unix and PC servers had ascended in the datacenter, and more importantly, IBM was forced to open up certain aspects of the mainframe.
There were so many innovations in the System/360 that it is hard to know where to begin to list them, but the thing to remember is that the engineering was not the only factor that was important. The Consent Decree governing IBM's behavior set a more level playing field than there might otherwise have been in data processing, as it was called then, and without that leveling, the course of information technology would no doubt be different today.
The engineering principles behind the System/360 are embedded in its name: it was meant to address the needs of companies of all sizes and all industries, and it was intended to be used for both commercial and scientific workloads. Up until this point, IBM had a slew of incompatible machines, each of which had their own research, development, and manufacturing operations. This was annoying and costly for customers, so the idea with the System/360 was to make a single line, spanning a performance range of 50 to 1 on a relative performance scale (measured in millions of instructions per second, or MIPS), that could all run the same operating system and application software. This seems obvious now, but it was not clear how to make a general-purpose computer back then that could do so many different things. There were only around 35,000 computers in the world back in 1965, when System/360 sales started taking off and the projection was for there to be maybe 85,000 a decade later.
Both Tom Watson Senior, who ruled IBM during the punch card era, and Tom Watson Junior, his son who brought the System/360 to market and commercialized computing on a scale never seen before, had a habit of underestimating the demand for these devices.
The System/360 processors pushed the limits of the circuitry of the time, cramming an order of magnitude more electronics into the same space as could be done with prior systems based on vacuum tubes. Performance on the top-end System/360-75 was about 150 times greater than that tube-based system, and the cost for a unit of work went down by a factor of 40. IBM did something else radical: It made the entire line available at the same time, and it created a standard peripheral interface between the central processor complex – the main frame – and its storage and end user devices. The System/360 could do decimal math as well as floating point math, which made it useful for all kinds of calculations. And a little more than a decade later, when Seymour Cray created the vector supercomputers that bore his name and are synonymous with supercomputing, IBM would strap vector coprocessors, called the Vector Facility, onto mainframes to create the world's first ceepie-geepie systems to compete. To one way of thinking, the mainframe is an architecture that constantly absorbs new accelerators and technologies to justify the high price IBM commands for these systems.
The Consent Decree, among other things, compelled IBM to publish the specifications of its System/360 machines and to allow for third party equipment makers to create alternatives to its products and, importantly, set the precedent for using them without breaking warranty agreements with IBM. IBM also had to provide operating systems to third party clone mainframe makers. The Decree also compelled IBM to offer machines for sale that were reasonably close to the rental price, helping to foster the third party equipment leasing business, and also made IBM publish list prices for all system components, so everyone knew where the ceiling was from which to negotiate down to the street price – including competitors. By the early 1980s, these practices were so ingrained that the IBM PC was effectively created as an open system, with Intel as the chip supplier and Microsoft as the operating system supplier, setting the stage for the next computing era.
Back in the mid-1990s, IBM moved away from expensive bi-polar chip technology, which ran so hot that it required water cooling and was also expensive, and toward the CMOS processes that other chips employed. And since that time, IBM has done what other chip makers have done: add caches, crank the clocks, add cores, and boost the thread count and the memory capacity to keep the performance of the systems growing.
IBM still invests in mainframe hardware, but these days the Power Systems and System z families share a lot of peripherals and, in fact, whole chunks of their processors are carved from the same basic transistor blocks. But they remain distinct. The mainframe was the first platform to get logical partitioning (Clone system maker Amdahl did it first, and IBM copied it), and that helped drive up utilization on systems to 95 percent and above. The mainframe started out in the System/360 era as a batch processor with high I/O throughput, and to this day, even though it runs some of the largest databases in the world, the mainframe is best fit for workloads with high I/O bandwidth needs. The machine pays for itself because it is incredibly rugged and can be run at very high utilization, day in and day out.
The System z line is still generating around $5 billion a year in hardware and base operating system sales. (It was north of $13 billion at the peak of the market in 1990, just for comparison.) The top companies in the world still deploy mainframes: 23 of the top 25 banks, 10 of the 10 top insurers, 23 of the top 25 retailers, and hundreds of governmental bodies rely on mainframes. By some estimates, there has been over $1 trillion in software investments in mainframe software in the past five decades, 70 percent of the data used by large enterprises resides on storage attached to mainframes, and 60 percent of the transactions run in the world touch a mainframe at some point. Of the companies in the Fortune 500, 355 of them have mainframes – still. And heaven knows many have tried to sell replacements to them.
On top of that System z hardware, there is a stack of systems software, including file systems, databases, middleware, and development tools, that brings in several billions of dollars more on top of that, and maintenance on the whole shebang rakes in even more money. A decade ago, IBM rejuvenated the System/390 mainframe business by porting Linux to the machine, by offering specialty configurations of the mainframe engines that were cheaper and designed to accelerate database, Java, and XML workloads, and by shifting to utility-based pricing for its software stack. And even though the mainframe base has shrunken to somewhere around 6,000 customers or so, these cheaper MIPS for Linux and acceleration of software functions have kept the installed base of MIPS growing at a pretty steady clip, year in and year out. That keeps the software revenues growing, and this is what IBM really cares about.
Expanding the portfolio of applications that can run on the mainframe is what has kept the platform alive for 50 years. It is safe to say that without the addition of Java and WebSphere in the mid-1990s and Linux to the System/390 in 1999, mainframe processing capacity would have dropped significantly, and the other specialty engines have helped keep the capacity being turned on inside the frames even as the price has come down. Some would say the adoption has been enabled because the price has come down. Speaking at the mainframe 50th birthday celebration at the Walldorf Astoria hotel in New York on Tuesday, Steve Mills, who is in charge of both Software Group and Systems and Technology Group, said that MIPS shipments have grown by double digits in the past decade and the aggregate number of MIPS in the field is 5X that of a decade ago. With mainframe revenues coming down a little bit over that term, that means prices have come down even faster than the base is growing, and this is how IBM has been able to attract new workloads to the venerable mainframe.
At the 50th birthday celebration in New York today, IBM is rolling out new mainframe software for new workloads.
The first is called zDoop, and it is a variant of IBM's BigInsights variant of Apache Hadoop that is running on Linux instances on the mainframe. IBM has partnered with Veristorm to integrate VSAM flat files, logs, DB2 databases, and other system files on z/OS to the HDFS file system underneath Hadoop. The idea is to keep the data on the mainframe where it is safe and secure behind the mainframe's legendary RACF security and authentication software.
IBM is also rolling out variants of the System z EC12 high-end and BC12 midrange mainframes that turn them into cloud platforms. The machines are equipped with either DS8000 or V7000 storage arrays, all tooled up with Linux instances and SmartCloud Orchestrator (an OpenStack variant), OmegaMon XE, and Tivoli Storage Manager. The Enterprise Cloud System can scale up to 6,000 virtual machines in a single EC12, and will come with special utility pricing for managed service providers so they can get started without having to spend millions of dollars up front for the stack. IBM says that the Enterprise Cloud System can offer a 55 percent lower total cost of ownership compared to clusters of X86 iron.
This is the kind of sales pitch that enterprise customers have heard for five decades now, and will probably hear for a few decades more.

ZenFone 3 Zoom confines compromise to history. We've combined the industry's best smartphone-camera technologies and innovative dual-lens optics with its ƒ/1.7 SONY IMX362 sensor and 2.3x optical zoom camera, Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ S625 processor and ASUS SuperPixel™ Engine and its 5000mAh battery. The upshot is unparalleled smartphone photography ready to capture every scenario, the moment you need. Catch the Moment — ZenFone 3 Zoom.
ZenFone 3 Zoom sets the new bar for mobile photography, combining two entirely new camera systems. A 12 megapixel ƒ/1.7 aperture, wide-angle lens with ASUS SuperPixel™ Technology is primed to capture everyday scenes, especially in dark environment; and a 12 megapixel 2.3x optical zoom for high-quality close-ups from farther away. Switching between ZenFone 3 Zoom's dual cameras takes just an instant, and the combination enables an all-new depth-of-field effect — for portraits that look like they were shot by a pro.
ZenFone 3 Zoom's true 2.3x optical zoom lets you shoot super-sharp, close-up photos and videos from right where you stand, and with just a single tap. When you want to feel even closer, use ZenFone 3 Zoom's improved digital-zoom technology to ramp up the magnification to a 12x view — and with clarity that's hard to believe.
ZenFone 3 Zoom's 2.3x optical-zoom camera and 59mm focal length introduces a whole new way to shoot. 2.3x optical-zoom produce a high quality close-up, and the 59mm focal length lens brought subject closer to you by creating more depth to its background object — so you'll capture depth-of-field effects to rival those achieved by professional DSLR cameras. Combined with the new Portrait mode, the subject stands out more by softly blurring the background. Professionals call this the 'bokeh' effect — but you'll know it as your new way to capture stunning portrait photography.
To capture real-world authenticity, ZenFone 3 Zoom packs a 12 megapixel camera with a wide ƒ/1.7 aperture and the latest Sony® IMX362 sensor. This combination, along with a large 1.4µm pixel size and a six-element lens, allows 1.25x more light to pass through to the sensor. This is further enhanced by OIS, allows photos to be shot with shutter speeds so as to capture sharper and brighter low light shots and ASUS SuperPixel™ Engine, effectively increasing captured light by up to 8x* — making ZenFone 3 Zoom perfect for night time shots and low-light environments. You'll also benefit from both optical and electronic image stabilization (OIS and EIS) technologies for blur-free shots and video every time, a RGB color-correction sensor for true-color photography, and true 4K UHD video recording.
With light sensitivity that is up to 8x of a typical smartphone camera, the ZenFone 3 Zoom is the ideal smartphone for ultra-clear and vivid night or low light shots and photography of backlit subjects. It has multiple features that give it such good light sensitivity. First it has an ƒ/1.7 aperture is one of the largest found on any smartphone camera. The aperture of any camera is the hole behind the lens through that allows light to reach the sensor. The larger it is, the more light is able to reach the sensor. Next, the ZenFone 3 Zoom has OIS that helps stabilize handheld shots to prevent blurring in very low light photos that need slightly longer shutter speeds to expose. Third, it has a large 1/2.55" sensor that has 1.4µm pixels which are among the largest in the industry. Larger sensors and pixels also contribute to increasing the camera's light sensitivity. Finally, the ZenFone 3 Zoom uses a powerful image processor known as the SuperPixel™ Engine that enables it to intelligently control the senor's light sensitivity and multi-framing process to reduce noise artifacts that typically occur in low light shots.
We've upgraded ZenFone 3 Zoom with ASUS TriTech+™ Technology, adding an all-new Dual Pixel PDAF (Phase Detection Auto Focus) system that uses similar technology found in DSLR cameras. Every single pixel on the Dual-Pixel sensor is used for phase detection, enabling auto-focus that's so incredibly fast, actually the world's fastest and seamless that even the most sudden movements are caught in the act — even when the light starts to fade. TriTech+™ also features Subject-Tracking Auto-Focus for both photos and videos to keep the object in clear focus, and Laser Auto-Focus for variable distance and lighting clarity in just 0.03 seconds.
Smartphone photos are marred by unnatural colors, typically caused by artificial lights — so ZenFone 3 Zoom has a RGB color correction sensor to capture the true scene. It detects the type of light and automatically applies the best settings to achieve the perfect balance for natural looking colors. ZenFone 3 Zoom shoots video at up to 4K UHD resolution (3840 x 2160) — or 4 times the quality of Full HD! There's nothing complicated for you to do: just point, shoot and share your memories, all captured with incredible levels of detail.
ZenFone 3 Zoom has the world's most advanced dual-lens smartphone-camera system — and it's also a selfie superstar. The remarkable front-facing camera employs a 13 megapixel Sony IMX214 sensor for high-resolution selfies, and the ASUS SuperPixel™ Engine can further enhanced the light sensitivity up to 2 times. Screen Flash feature turns the entire screen bright white for brilliant illumination in low-light environments. Combined with the ZenUI Camera app's unique Beautification and 140° Selfie Panorama modes, you'll shoot selfies with more detail than ever before, add instant glamor and ensure that every friend is in the frame.
ZenFone 3 Zoom's Manual mode puts pro-level creative controls right in front you, for a DSLR-like experience that fits in a pocket. These include one-touch control over shutter speed, white balance, EV, ISO and metering, plus two features unique in the ZenFone range to ZenFone 3 Zoom: support for the professional RAW photo format, and the ability to switch instantly between the dual lenses for either 25mm or 59mm focal length. Shoot wide or close, and store every original detail — pro photography has never seen so simple.
ZenFone 3 Zoom's incredible cameras will encourage you to take more photos, more often — and that's why we've fitted a high-capacity 5000mAh battery, it can even charge attached devices as a power bank. With this vast power resource hidden within ZenFone 3 Zoom's slim 5.5-inch frame. It can last for two full day of typical use with one charge; you'll simply stop worrying about battery life. Enjoy the reassurance of up to 42 days standby time, and shoot all day, every day — as often as you like. And you won't stop at photos: with so much energy in store, record videos in glorious 4K UHD quality for as long as you need; or set ZenFone 3 Zoom's Time Lapse mode to create transition sequences that capture all day and through the night. ZenFone 3 Zoom is even able to turn power bank, meaning you can use its seemingly endless energy to charge your other devices.
ZenFone 3 Zoom's elegant beauty veils monstrous power, including a 64-bit, 2.0GHz octa-core Snapdragon 625 processor, up to 4GB memory and desktop-grade Adreno™ 506 graphics performance. This powerhouse has revolutionary 14nm Fin Field Effect transistors (FinFETs) to deliver full-on performance while reducing power consumption by 35%. Then, there's the mobile and wireless speeds. ZenFone 3 Zoom has 4G/3G dual-SIM bay for complete flexibility for up to 300Mbps (Category 7) downloads via either card. ZenFone 3 Zoom offers ASUS BoostMaster fast charging 10W (5V/2A) for its high capacity 5000mAh battery. It automatically recognizes if the bundled adapter is attached and executes quick charging that can fully charge the ZenFone 3 Zoom in three hours or provide five hours of talk time with a mere ten minute charge; all while protecting the battery from being over-charged — and reversible USB-C for any-way-up connectivity convenience.
When you listen with ZenFone 3 Zoom you'll treat your ears to audio that you simply won't hear from other smartphones — because only ZenFone 3 Zoom has SonicMaster and High-Res Audio certification. With an advanced five-magnet speaker construction, metal voice coil and expansive sound chamber powered by an NXP Smart AMP, you'll enjoy powerful, emotional audio in every scenario. When it's time for immersive listening, plug in your favorite compatible headphone or earbuds and experience true High-Res Audio quality everywhere you go with ZenFone 3 Zoom's studio-grade 24-bit/192kHz playback — that's 4x better than CD quality.
