Eclectic Revisited
Preserving Venice's Architectural Context
Architecture, Articles, Brian Murphy, California, Frank Gehry, Fred Fisher, Los Angeles Conservancy, Steven Ehrlich, Urbanism, Venice
It's a sunny spring morning in Venice, CA. At 10 a.m. there's no lingering marine cover, and the sky is such a bright blue it makes you blush to think of gray climes just emerging from winter. Cars fill the Westminster Avenue Elementary School parking lot, and visitors arriving for a Los Angeles Conservancy walking tour pile out, ready to hit the asphalt in sensible shoes. The self-guided tour is entitled Venice Eclectic: Modern Architecture from the '70s and '80s and part of "Curating the City Modern Architecture in L.A.," the Conservancy's ongoing contribution to Pacific Standard Time: Modern Architecture in Los Angeles.
Volunteer docents in sunhats hand out maps that list the homes, artist studios, and commercial structures designed by some of L.A.'s most important architects: Frank Gehry, Steven Ehrlich, Frank Israel, Morphosis, and Fred Fisher. The tour's draw is to get inside spaces usually off-limits to the public; its mission, however, is more profound. The Conservancy is building a case to preserve projects — "resources," in preservation parlance — that, let's face it, look pretty funky when compared to the kinds of contemporary architectural tastes put forth in Dwell magazine.
Founded in 1978, just around the time many of the tour's eclectic buildings were beginning to take shape, the nonprofit Los Angeles Conservancy is a longtime advocate for the preservation of historic L.A. structures. Community-based, with some 6,000 members, the Conservancy's efforts have saved a number of the city's most treasured 20th Century icons: the Art Deco Wiltern Theater, the space-age Cinerama Dome, and the Mayan-inspired Ennis House. The architecture and art sites open to the public through the Venice tour are, in the Conservancy's words, "the next frontier in historic preservation."
The tour was curated by Trudi Sandmeier, director of Graduate Programs in Heritage Conservation and associate professor at the University of Southern California. She stresses the need to cultivate awareness among a larger public well in advance of the fight for preservation. "So often we struggle to identify what's important after a site is already threatened," says Sandmeier. "We are already fighting to save lots of resources from the 60s. The 70s and 80s are next. It is only a matter of time." It's amazing to think now that some of L.A.'s most visible mid-century buildings would ever be at risk, but it was less than a decade ago that the Capitol Records Tower, built in 1956, was declared a City of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.
In Venice, Sandmeier wanted to tell the story of a whole neighborhood, not just emphasize the architectural merits of any one structure, and in doing so build a history of architects and artists working together. "Buildings are important for different reasons. Sometimes it's the architecture, sometimes it is the history, and sometimes it is the context," she explains. "Venice is a place with such rich cultural context that underlies the whole community, there is a lot to talk about."
Indeed, by the 1970s Venice of America founder Abbot Kinney's turn-of-the-century vision of an Italianate playland filled with canals and rollercoasters had given way to a grittier reality. The area's decline, according to the handy history put together by the Conservancy, began with the Depression and was accelerated by the discovery of oil in the area, which lead to the proliferation of landscape-deadening derricks. The cute summer bungalows and colonnaded bathhouses of earlier decades fell into disrepair. In his 1989 novel, "Hollywood," Charles Bukowski portrayed Venice as a dark and dangerous, a place rife with racial tension, a place where he was afraid to park his car for fear the tires would be stolen. Yet it is also the environment that gave birth to skateboard culture and the incongruously named art and lifestyle magazine Wet: The Magazine of Gourmet Bathing.
And it's in this blighted condition that parallel developments took place: the impoverished neighborhood took on the ugly moniker "Ghetto-by-the-Sea," and rundown buildings became home to beatniks, hippies, and artists, all lured westward by faded glamor and cheap land.
"The economics of the place allowed certain things to happen," said architect Frederick Fisher as part of a panel discussion held later on the day of the walking tour. Fisher and fellow architects Steven Ehrlich and Brian Murphy, moderated by architectural historian Daniel Paul, reflected on the creative energies and low rents that shaped Venice. "We were building a subculture. People without a lot of means could live here," Fisher continued. "That meant that young people, creative people, could play with architecture, which is not usually a discipline that one usually thinks of playing with. Architecture is a big, expensive outing. Artists are the great, unsung urban redevelopment forces. Artists were the first ones to figure out an interesting place that has good spaces, amenities, and a quality of life that's dirt cheap. They are usually the ones who are out there finding the places first and designers, architects, food, and culture follow them. Eventually, Venice becomes what it is today."
Fisher is one of the most prolific architects practicing in L.A., building residences and schools and designing exhibitions and urban plans with his firm, Frederick Fisher and Partners. But his beginnings on the West Side were humble by comparison. His Caplin House, located at 229 San Juan Ave., was a stop on the Conservancy's tour, but not open to the public. Constructed in 1979, the house is Fisher's first independent commission and, in the young architect's typical moonlighting fashion, was built while he was working in Frank Gehry's office. Standing in front of the house 34 years later, the façade still bears the hallmarks of innovation. It's a playful collage of elements: stucco, 2x4s, and a brightly painted plywood bay window jauntily sticking out from the wall. For those looking to see more of the Caplin residence, two models of its façade that Fisher made in 1978 are included in another Pacific Standard Time offering: "A Confederacy of Heretics," currently on view in SCI-Arc's gallery downtown, a world away from Venice's beachy breezes.
Traveling just a few blocks and a couple of years in time, Venice Eclectic included the Indiana Avenue Houses/Arnoldi Triplex by Frank Gehry, which the architect developed in partnership with artists Laddie Dill and Chuck Arnoldi. Constructed on a long, narrow lot in 1981 (and rumored to have cost a mere $15,000 at the time), the three live-work studios were speculative in both real estate and design. Gehry treated the studios as an exercise in materiality and form. Each one was addressed sculpturally, drawing meaning from banal domestic objects: a stair, a chimney, a bay window. But just as Claes Oldenberg (whose giant binoculars would later adorn a Gehry building in the neighborhood) plays with scale and makes jumbo versions of everyday life, Gehry transforms his objects into oversized, inhabitable spaces. Each is covered with a different exterior cladding: green asphalt shingles, plywood, stucco. Gehry's sleight-of-hand is to turn off-the-shelf materials into abstract forms.
"I always admired Frank because he did his most speculative work at that moment when the economy was down," recalls Fisher. "He said: 'I don't have any work anyway, so I'm going to the most crazy stuff possible.' The established profession was outraged. People thought he was destroying architecture. He was using these low-grade materials in this temporary, ad hoc way."
The front condo — green shingles over a stepped façade — was open to visitors on the day of the tour. Inside, the 1,500-square-foot space is modest: The ground floor hosts living and dining areas and the upstairs an airy work loft. It's here that Gehry's gestures take on new life and one can see beginnings of what's become his signature work. The steps on the outside erode the corner of the room, where previously hidden windows look out over the street. A latticework of timber framing echoes the stair motif but effortlessly combines the rigor of Sol Lewitt's gridded sculptures with the opulent, honeycombed details of sacred architecture. The effect is uncanny, a radical departure from L.A.'s modernist traditions.
Next to the Arnoldi Triplex is the Hopper House, Brian Murphy's 1989 addition to the block. Designed for the actor/filmmaker/artist Dennis Hopper, the house presents Venice with a wry, mixed message. A front yard edged in a white picket fence gives way to a windowless, corrugated metal façade. It's both home and compound — or, in Murphy's terms, "paramilitary suburban." Murphy's an architect who earned an edgy reputation for what some called "white trash modernism." During the panel discussion, he described how the Hopper residence responds to its neighbors: "I was very sensitive to the fact that Gehry had these condos next door. There were three follies: stucco, shingles, and plywood. And I'm a big fan of Marxist pastiche, so I thought: What's the next material in that litany? And it seemed to be tin."
Behind the home's austere exterior is a warehouse-like space fine-tuned to Hopper's passions and peccadillos: a living/lounging area that doubles as a screening room and performance space, white walls for his art collection, and an enclosed motorcycle parking area. Over the years Hopper acquired the adjacent properties, adding the Arnoldi Triplex and a small bungalow to his compound. His estate was sold and broken up after his death in 2010, so the house is no longer filled with Hopper's art. However, the new owners acquired his motorcycle from "Easy Rider," which is on view.
One of the Los Angeles Conservancy's goals is to create a constituency of people who care about preserving L.A.'s built environment. In Venice, the challenge is how to hold on to the things that make the place funky as Abbot Kinney Boulevard and Main Street fill up with chic boutiques and watering holes. "We can take as many pictures as we can, but it still isn't the same as being there," explains Sandmeier.
For architect Steven Ehrlich, who first opened his practice in Venice, the question of how to design for and with history inspired the three structures he built from 1986 to 1989 around Windward Circle, once the heart of Kinney's exotic development. Ehrlich's trio of mixed-use structures — Race Through the Clouds, Ace Market Place (the former home of the influential ACE Gallery), and the Arts Building — ring the former lagoon; each take cues from the site's history, such as dredging machines that created the canal or amusement park architecture. While the quirky edifices now bear the historical weight of their own whimsy, at a quarter-century of age Ehrlich's buildings deserve reevaluation precisely because they grapple with Venice's bygone days through design.
"I did the historical research and found out that there were three different structures on each property: the Race Through the Clouds rollercoaster, the Antlers Hotel, and the Venice Bathhouse," explained Ehrlich during the panel discussion. And the architect's remarks about his architecture unwittingly summed up the importance of the conservation Los Angeles' urban fabric. "It was very much and exercise in looking into the past having it influence the present. And now that present is already old."

Q: mySQL reference correlation in a subquery with join I'm working on a small social network service.
Very classically, I have 3 tables :
- table "circles_users" : all users that belong to the same "circle"
- table "friends" : friendship relation between users
- table "checkin" : is a user "checkin" somewhere or not
Here the structure of the database : http://sqlfiddle.com/#!2/27888/1

I would like to ask my database to give me :
all users from a specific "circle" with for each of them :
- the number of friends this user has in common with user id = 3
- if this user is checkin or not
Here what I'm trying to do :
SELECT a.uid,
(
    SELECT COUNT(*)
    FROM (SELECT IF (uid1 = 3, uid2, uid1) AS cf FROM friends WHERE (friends.uid1 = 3 OR friends.uid2 = 3 )) as b
    JOIN friends ON ((friends.uid1 = b.cf AND friends.uid2 = a.uid) OR (friends.uid1 = a.uid AND friends.uid2 = b.cf))
) as common_friends,
checkin.status as checkin_status
FROM
(SELECT circles_users.uid FROM circles_users WHERE circles_users.circlename = 'circle_A') as a
LEFT JOIN checkin ON checkin.uid = a.uid

I get this error message : Unknown column 'a.uid' in 'on clause'
It has been now 2 days that I'm trying to fix this unsuccessfully.
It seems that it is not possible to reference correlation name in my subquery.
For instance, if I replace a.uid in the subquery by a specific uid (for instance let's say '4'), I don't get any error. But of course, the result is false...
Is there someone who could help me ?
That would be very nice :)

OTHER OPTION TO FOLLOW ?
Another option would be to pass the "common_friends" subquery as a join.
I tried to do something like this :
SELECT a.uid,
c.cnt as common_friends,
checkin.status as checkin_status
FROM
(SELECT circles_users.uid as uid FROM circles_users WHERE circles_users.circlename = 'circle_A') as a
LEFT JOIN
    (
        SELECT DISTINCT COUNT(*) as cnt
        FROM (SELECT IF (uid1 = 3, uid2, uid1) AS cf FROM friends WHERE (friends.uid1 = 3 OR friends.uid2 = 3 )) as b
        JOIN friends ON ((friends.uid1 = b.cf AND friends.uid2 = a.uid) OR (friends.uid1 = a.uid AND friends.uid2 = b.cf))
    ) as c ON 1=1
LEFT JOIN checkin ON checkin.uid = a.uid

But again : I get this error message : Unknown column 'a.uid' in 'on clause'Anyway, do you think this version would be easier to handle and would open new possibilities to resolve my problem ?

If you want to play with my queries : (thanks to @zundarz)
http://sqlfiddle.com/#!2/27888/1

A: Rewrote a query based on the info you give and what you are looking for.
SELECT cu.uid, COUNT(f.uid1) common_friends, c.status
FROM circles_users cu
LEFT JOIN friends f
    ON (f.uid1 = cu.uid OR f.uid2 = cu.uid)
   AND f.status = "on"
   AND IF (f.uid1 = cu.uid, f.uid2, f.uid1) IN (
      SELECT IF (uid1 = 3, uid2, uid1)
      FROM friends
      WHERE status = "on"
        AND (friends.uid1 = 3 OR friends.uid2 = 3)
   )
LEFT JOIN checkin c
    ON c.uid = cu.uid AND c.status = "on"
WHERE cu.circlename = "circle_A"
GROUP BY cu.uid

Distribution and habitat: Aloe arborescens is a species of flowering succulent perennial plant endemic to the south eastern part of Southern Africa. Aloe arborescens has adapted to many different habitats, its natural habitat usually consists of mountainous areas including rocky outcrops and exposed ridges. Its habitat can vary and is one of only a few species of aloe that is found growing from sea level up to the tops of mountains.
Description: Aloe arborescens can grow to 2m (6.5 feet) tall; only young plants are suitable for use indoors. The narrow, tooth-edged leaves which are 15-22cm (6-7 inch) long and 2cm (0.8 inch) wide, form a loose rosette on the end of a bare woody stem. Offsets normally appear around the base when plants are two or three years old. Red flowers may be produced at the top of a long branched stem.
Houseplant care: Aloe arborescens is an easy to grow houseplant as long as the light requirements are met.
Light: Bright light suits Aloe arborescens. They do well in full sunlight. No Aloe will thrive if permanently placed at a distance from a window.
Temperature: Aloe arborescens grow well in normal room temperatures and are tolerant of dry air. To encourage flowering, however, it is best to give the plants a short winter rest at a temperature of no more that 10°C (50°F).
Water: During the active growth period water plentifully as often as necessary to keep the potting mixture thoroughly moist. During the rest period water only enough to prevent the mixture from drying out.
Potting and repotting: Use a soil based potting mixture. Aloe arborescens should be moved into one size larger pot every spring. When maximum convenient pot size has been reached, plants should be top-dressed with fresh potting mixture once a year.
Propagation: Offsets can be taken from the base of the plant in early summer. These small new rosettes are often attached to the parent by a short underground stolon and may already have little roots, which should be retained for propagation purposes.
Because very tiny offsets are hard to root, they should not be removed for planting until their leaves have begun to open into the characteristic rosette shape. Plants that have a rosette of leaves on a long stem are likely to produce additional small rosettes low down on the stem and these root more easily than the rosettes which are higher up.
Offsets will root in two or three weeks in the standard potting mixture is some coarse sand is sprinkled at the base of the rosette to prevent rotting. Until offsets are well established, they should have bright light without direct sunlight and they should be watered sparingly, only enough to moisten the potting mixture, allowing the top two-thirds of the mixture to drying out between waterings.
Melly bugs and root mealy bugs can be troublesome. The former hide deep in the crevices of the rosette foliage and the latter generally bury themselves in the roots, just below the surface of the potting mixture.
Treatment: Use an insecticide soap or make one from dish detergent (free of perfumes and additives if it is possible) mixed in a week concentration with water and spay the plants. After treatment washing the plant is recommended. Alternatively, use an adequate pesticide. Repeat the treatment if necessary.
Uses: Grown in containers, Aloe arborescens make a remarkable houseplant or installed on porches, patios, decks, etc.

"Deals have come from many different markets and verticals. These give us the confidence that we'll continue the momentum. Last year, we had very large segments that were dragging with growth of less than 2-3 per cent. We now have a benefit of a few large deals, so almost all segments are growing on a par with the company average," Gopinathan said.


Fitch Ratings said yesterday that it is keeping its outlook for the global reinsurance sector as stable and expects to affirm the majority of its sector ratings in 2014. This despite a market impacted by falling prices across property catastrophe risks and increasing competition from alternative reinsurance capital.
Fitch said that reinsurers current capitalisation is strong, in fact the sector may be considered over-capitalised at the moment due to both traditional reinsurers strong positions and the inflows of third-party capital which have come into the space in recent years. Absent a major catastrophe or a much broader soft market with lower pricing spreading, Fitch sees no reason to expect a major deterioration in the sector.
Fitch does expect reinsurance pricing to fall at the January 2014 renewals and beyond, assuming no significant loss events occur. It puts this down to surplus capacity in the reinsurance market and the influence of alternative reinsurance capital and insurance-linked securities (ILS).
So Fitch does expect the competition between traditional and alternative reinsurance will continue but for the moment doesn't expect this to affect its outlook on the stocks of reinsurers which may be on the receiving end of this competition. Fitch does expect price softening to broaden and believes this will result in some disparity in the direction of pricing across classes. Fitch does say that the price environment is expected to test underwriting discipline, which may push reinsurers into moving their focus into new areas at times.
Pricing and other factors will make earnings sustainability more challenging for reinsurers in 2014, according to Fitch. It expects technical profitability in terms of combined ratio will decline by over 6%, moving its expected combined ratio for the sector in 2014 to 96.8%, from 90.5% in 2013. Low investment yields will exacerbate this as investment income is not expected to make a huge contribution once again.
Pricing discipline is going to be key and reinsurers are expected to try to protect prices at the 2014 renewals. How much influence alternative capital will have on this is not yet clear, but the general trajectory is almost certain to be downwards, large losses aside.
On top of price increases, reinsurance buyers are benefitting from better terms, multi-year agreements, additional reinstatements and an increase in aggregate covers. This trend is likely to continue as traditional reinsurers compete with alternative capital and seek to provide products that it sometimes struggles to offer.
It is excess of loss reinsurance that is suffering the most, according to Fitch, particularly in higher layer property catastrophe reinsurance and retrocession where capacity and competition from alternative capital is highest. Fitch believes that this trend is set to continue, that capital will continue to flow into this space through catastrophe bonds, other ILS, industry loss warrants (ILWs), collateralized reinsurance vehicles, sidecars and other methods.
Pricing of these alternative reinsurance products are particularly competitive with traditional reinsurance and Fitch believes that this convergence between the reinsurance market and the capital market will continue for the foreseeable future. Fitch will be publishing more of its thoughts on the capital markets inroads into reinsurance in early September.
Combined with this surplus capital, more competition is less demand for reinsurance as well and Fitch expects that to be a trend we see more of, as insurers seek to retain more risk in both property and casualty lines of business. This will further exacerbate price declines, according to Fitch.
While the supply of reinsurance remains abundant, particularly with new capital emerging in the form of alternative reinsurance structures, says Fitch, as well as no increase in demand for traditional reinsurance products a continued downward pressure on pricing is to be expected.
Interestingly, Fitch provides some areas of opportunity, one being crop insurance which as readers will be aware is an area that some collateralized players currently see as a potential opportunity. Other opportunities for reinsurers include excess and surplus and specialty lines of business, which again have already begun to attract some third-party capital managers.
Other opportunities may come from the renewal, or otherwise of the U.S. terrorism reinsurance facility and also from reforms in Florida which may increase demand for reinsurance. Will traditional reinsurers be the ones to capitalise on these possible growth areas or will alternative capital cast its eye there as well? Florida is likely well in the sights of the ILS market and terrorism risk is another class of risk that is increasingly being discussed by third-party capital and ILS managers as an opportunity.
In order for Fitch Ratings to change is view and revise its sector outlook from stable to negative, a single loss event of USD60bn, coupled with a sudden spike in interest rates of 300bp or more, combined with an inability for reinsurers to replenish lost capital would be necessary, it said. This would likely result in negative rating actions.
Fitch notes that such a combination is rare, but we'd like to suggest that perhaps Fitch misses one possible outcome to this scenario, that after such events maybe traditional reinsurers will replenish their lost capital with the help of third-parties. How would that sudden rush of alternative capital into the space see traditional reinsurers ratings fare, we wonder?
Fitch Ratings report can be accessed via its website and is worth reading for more insight on the factors affecting reinsurers today and into 2014.
Expect much more of this type of commentary over the next two weeks as we move up to and through the Monte Carlo Rendez-Vous time of the year.
If this commentary on alternative capital in reinsurance is of interest we recommend you read our article from yesterday: Alternative capital a disruptive force in reinsurance.

NGOs in rural development
Posted on January 31, 2007 February 7, 2007 by V.Isvarmurti
Time to have some candid criticisms!
Govts, banks can succeed in villages only working through NGOs,SHGs and even panchayats.
NGOs are very much part of any development. More so in India with its myriad problems. Even more pointedly society development where a host of intractable problems persist and defy easy solutions. Poverty, illiteracy, healthcare, social issues like gender disparities, much more serious the infanticides, as poignantly pointed out in the disturbing, very disturbing indeed, of the child sex ratio leading to "alarming fall in the number of girls as indicated by the Census of 2001 report. And the Centre's instructions to monitor the child sex ratio on a monthly basis.
Much more disturbing about rural scenario that one district, the only one district (says Census 2001) Salem in Tamil Nadu where the sex ratio of girls was below 800 in the 1991 census but since then the number of districts had risen to 45! Why, you know? The latest technology of sex determination tests had grown and the evil practice of sex testing and the foetus destruction etc. are going up in many districts. The best districts, as per the Census 2001 are all in backwards States! So much for technology development and our social evils!
In such a scenario, the NGOs can play a great positive role and they are playing indeed. But even NGO is not producing a Durgabai Deshmukh! Though lately there are some negative reports and negative developments on the NGOs front. Mr.Joginder Singh a former CBI director and public activist had brought to our attention the following statistics. A recently issued communication by the centre to the States and the NGOs 2 points out : "The headquarters of an NGO should be at the project location so that the operation of the NGO reflect involvement of the NGO with the community". It also says "absentee NGOs" are not to be assisted under the grant in aid scheme".
And how many NGOs are there? In the Union government 14 ministries have contracted 15,458 NGOs to implement their projects. The rural development ministry in the biggest contractor with 6,467 NGOs, followed by the social justice and empowerment ministry with 2,944 and the health and family welfare ministry with 1,038. The NGO network in itself is mind-boggling, says Singh. He quotes a study by the John Hopkins University that there are 120,000 NGOs in the country. Half of them unregistered! Most of them are claiming to be working in rural areas. An estimated sum of Rs.17,922 crores are mobilised by the NGOs. Now, as for the criticism Singh ofcourse points out how the NGOs are operating from airconditioned rooms and headquarters in cities and Delhi. The "absentees" run their "business" on corporate lines!
Now, we can take on from where Singh leave the topic. The other day Ratan Tata, the head of the Tatas said on a CNN interview that his biggest "frustration" was he couldn't do much for the rural poor, farmers, etc. Since we know the Tatas from the times of the great JRD, we can say something here on the Tata-type corporate concerns for the rural poor and then go on to other really corrupt elements with powerful links and linkages with a host of forces, media to government bodies and ultimately with the top political leadership through a cunning network of bureaucrats and other men of their own in critical positions, in trusts and award giving bodies.
The corporates have done some outstanding altruristic service to the community, we can't deny. In fact, Tatas are themselves a good example. So too the Birlas and the Godrejes and others.
But what is needed some realisation is the fact the corporates often advance their corporate interests along with their `altruistic' motives. Thus, Tatas themselves exemplify one more side to their charities. They, the big corporates want to act big in whatever they do and the Tata umbrella holds on over all their work, outsiders might be deterred to enter their areas like social work. This umbrella type overwhelming hold on the small NGOs, small men and women with their humble selves like Gandhian type workers feel discouraged and really feel frustrated. Not only corporates, even the religious denominations, all denominations now run their charities like big businesses!
Our Prime Ministers in recent years had all failed us, when it comes to serious social and religious issues they go silent! A great shame and a great pity indeed! Now, the other threat is some NGOs whose heads often fly and they seem to virtually live in the air, they are so busy, one day in America the next day meeting a busy conference in Delhi and one wonders, as Joginder Singh wondered when they actually are in the field. The absentee NGOs are now posing the biggest threat to any genuine rural development work. We have come to a stage where to talk of rural India would be wrong, we feel. It is now always urban/rural infrastructure that is only right. The other day, there was this report on Bangalore where the air pollution, says a respected Cardiology head, is like smoking 46 cigarettes a day! Serious charge! So, the congestion and other infrastructure problems of a city like Bangalore, which is now considered the fourth largest technology hub where four IT firms set up shop!
And yet the IT bigwigs, they are no big spenders eitheron their infrastructure or on rural development, they cry like babies more for State support for solving their own creation of this infrastructure bottlenecks and heavy pollution. Why don't they be moved to far off, off city limits, even in Bangalore! Yes, there is no easy solution to urban congestion except to plan in advance, says draw up a 25 year perspective urban/rural plan. Urban expansion can't be limited. Cities would grow, so our ideas of how to plan in advance the rural/urban linkages. What about our talks of deploying IT tools in reaching out the villages. "The connecting rural Indian slogan? Now education satellites put in orbit, our students needn't take long and even dangerous travels into the cities. Reduced the physical movement of people and create more jobs and work at home services, service deliveries.
The Internet revolution gives us such a chance to redeploy our rural/urban development concepts in an equitable manner.
The possibilities to link the villagers and villages to the State capitals through the Internet are too immense and therefore too urgent.
Likewise, the delivery of a host of services from health care, telemedicine, land records and other services to spread education, literacy are also now within our capacity thanks to the Internet traffic growth and the subscriber base expanding fast.

What Lengths Would You Go to Keep Something That Wasn't Yours?
Edwin knew he was dying, and that he wouldn't be there to help his son grow up. He wanted his son to become a strong man, one who would stand on his own. So Edwin gave him the name Merriwether….
Merriwether Gamble hated his father for giving him such a name. It was his cross to bear, causing him to overreact time and again to the taunts and teasing of the other boys. But it made him grow up tough, as his father had wished. Perhaps too tough. After an ill-chosen confrontation sends Merriwether to prison, his life takes an interesting turn when he befriends Whitie Fowler, his cellmate, who helps Merriwether survive the harsh realities of prison life. But Whitie has a secret, one that could make them both rich or get them both killed.
With Whitie's Gold, author H.D. Williams skillfully blends an exciting story line with quick-paced action to create a real page-turner of a Western.


For 10 years RSA Conference has highlighted companies with innovative information security products as part of its Innovation Sandbox Contest. Who will we see competing this year?
Ten companies go head-to-head on the Innovation Sandbox stage at RSA Conference to nab the "Most Innovative Company at RSA Conference" title. Teams from each company present and demonstrate their product in front of a panel of judges, Shark Tank-style. Check out the Gallery of Victors to see the list of past winners.
To mark the contest's ten-year anniversary, we reached out to past winners to talk about their experiences. You can see what Sourcefire, Invincea, Appthority, and Remotium had to say.
This Q&A is with Brian White, the COO of RedOwl Analytics. RedOwl won the "Most Innovative Company" designation last year, as part of the 2014 conference.
RSA Conference: What was the biggest benefit of winning Innovation Sandbox?
White: The biggest benefit of winning was the credibility, notoriety—the introduction—it gave us. Winning an award at RSA Conference, the biggest cybersecurity event, is a big deal. And it is a validation, a powerful one, and helped with investor perspective, one, our go-to-market strategy, two, and validated our team, three.
RSA Conference: What would you tell someone who was thinking about entering the contest?
White: Yes, do it. There is no downside; it's all upside. Our team didnt expect to win, and was ecstatic when they did. Entering stuff like this is well worth it. It gives us practice in pulling the application together and improves presentation skills. The more of these [contests] you enter, you get better.
RSA Conference: It's been a few months since your win. How has the experience in the contest, or winning the contest, influenced the company?
White: Yes, to a degree. It was critical in giving the team more momentum in what they were doing. The win didn't necessarily get us more customers, but it was still beneficial for us.

Brother MFC-J432W printer is a classic model of the Brother brand and is capable of printing in both monochrome and color printer. The print heads are the piezo that has 210 nozzles for each class of print color. One of these print heads works for monochrome while the printer requires three for the color printing for cyan, magenta and yellow colors.
The Brother MFC-J432W printer also has an internal memory of 40 MB of RAM, and the display component is a liquid crystal display (LCD). This LCD feature measures about 1.9 inches in diagonal and displays in color. The power source of the printer depends on the country where the printer is in use. For instance, in Taiwan, the cause is between 100 to 120 Volts AC while other countries are between 220 to 240 volts AC at a frequency of 50/60 Hz.
The power consumption of this unique model of printer is dependent on the mode of work such as printing, copying, and scanning. The copying mode uses approximately 19 watts, the fast method is about 5.5 watts, and the sleep mode is 2 watts. The physical dimensions include a width of 405 mm; the height is 180 mm, and the depth is 374 mm while the weight is 9 kg.
The printer supports an automatic document feeder (ADF) with a width of 148 mm to 215 mm, and a length is between 148 mm to 355.6 mm. The document size for the scanner width is 215.9 mm at maximum and range of 297 mm at peak. The supported paper types include plain, glossy paper, transparency, and inkjet paper (coated paper).

Navigating Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP: How Google Is Quietly Making Blockchains Searchable
Michael del Castillo Forbes Staff
I cover enterprise adoption of blockchain and cryptocurrency.
t's a balmy 80 degrees on a mid-December day in Singapore, and something is puzzling Allen Day, a 41-year-old data scientist. Using the tools he has developed at Google, he can see a mysterious concerted usage of artificial intelligence on the blockchain for Ethereum. Ether is the world's third-largest cryptocurrency (after bitcoin and XRP), and it still sports a market cap of some $11 billion despite losing 83% of its value in 2018. Peering into its blockchain—the distributed database of transactions underpinning the cryptocurrency—Day detects a "whole bunch" of "autonomous agents" moving funds around "in an automated fashion." While he doesn't yet know who has created the AI, he suspects they could be the agents of cryptocurrency exchanges trading among themselves in order to artificially inflate ether's price.
"It's not really just single agents doing things on their own," Day says from Google's Asia-Pacific headquarters. "They're forming with other agents to have some larger group effect."
Day's official title is senior developer advocate for Google Cloud, but he describes his role as "customer zero" for the company's cloud computing efforts. As such it's his job to anticipate demand before a product even exists, and he thinks making the blockchain more accessible is the next big thing. Just as Google enabled (and ultimately profited) from making the internet more usable 20 years ago, its next billions may come from shining a bright light on blockchains. If Day is successful, the world will know whether blockchain's real usage is living up to its hype.
Danish researcher Thomas Silkjaer is using Google's BigQuery to map publicly available information about XRP cryptocurrency addresses. The craters represent some of cryptocurrency's largest exchanges.
Last year Day and a small team of open-source developers quietly began loading data for the entire Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains into Google's big-data analytics platform, BigQuery. Then, with the help of lead developer Evgeny Medvedev, he created a suite of sophisticated software to search the data.
In spite of a total lack of publicity, word of the project spread quickly among crypto-minded coders. In the past year, more than 500 projects were created using the new tools, trying to do everything from predicting the price of bitcoin to analyzing wealth disparity among ether holders.
When it comes to cloud computing, Google is far behind Amazon and Microsoft. Last year Google pocketed an estimated $3 billion in revenue from cloud services. Amazon and Microsoft, meanwhile, generated about $27 billion and $10 billion, respectively.
Day is hoping that his project, known as Blockchain ETL (extract, transform, load), will help even the playing field. But even here Google is trying to catch up. Amazon entered blockchain in a big way in 2018 with a suite of tools for building and managing distributed ledgers. Microsoft got into the space in 2015, when it released tools for Ethereum's blockchain. It now hosts a range of services as part of its Azure Blockchain Workbench. But while Amazon and Microsoft are focusing on making it easier to build blockchain apps, Day is focusing on exposing how blockchains are actually being used, and by whom.
"In the future, moving more economic activity on chain won't just require a consensus level of trust," says Day, referring to the core validating mechanism of blockchain technology. "It will require having some trust in knowing about who it is you're actually interacting with." In other words, if blockchain is to go mainstream, some of its beloved anonymity features will have to be abandoned.
A native of Placer County, California, Day got his first computer at the age of 5 and a few years later started writing simple programs. A fascination with volcanoes and dinosaurs turned his interest to life sciences, and he ultimately graduated from the University of Oregon with a dual degree in biology and Mandarin in 2000. From there he headed to UCLA to pursue a doctorate in human genetics and helped build a computer program to browse the genome.

Visualizing The XRP Blockchain
This Silkjaer image uses data for the XRP cryptocurrency to show the movement of funds across the entire ledger of transactions, culminating in a snapshot of funds in an actual user's wallet.
It was at UCLA where Day began relying on distributed computing, a concept that is core to blockchains, which store their data on a large network of individual computers. In the early 2000s Day needed to analyze the massive amounts of data that make up the human genome. To solve this problem he hooked many small computers together, vastly increasing their power.
"Distributed-systems technology has been in my tool kit for a while," Day says. "I could see there were interesting characteristics of blockchains that could run a global supercomputer."
Hired in 2016 to work in the health and bioinformatics areas of Google, Day segued to blockchains, the hottest distributed-computing effort on the planet. But the talents he had honed—sequencing genomes for infectious diseases in real time and using AI to increase rice yields—were not easily applied to decoding blockchain.
Before Day and Medvedev released their tools, just searching a blockchain required specialized software called "block explorers," which let users hunt only for specific transactions, each labeled with a unique tangle of 26-plus alphanumeric characters. Google's Blockchain ETL, by contrast, lets users make more generalized searches of entire ecosystems of transactions.
To demonstrate how customers could use Blockchain ETL to make improvements to the crypto economy, Day has used his tools to examine the so-called hard fork, or an irrevocable split in a blockchain database, that created a new cryptocurrency—bitcoin cash—from bitcoin in the summer of 2017.
Google Cloud developer advocate Allen Day presents his early cryptocurrency work at Google's Asia Pacific headquarters in Singapore in August 2018.
Dorjee Sun / Perlin
This particular split was the result of a Hatfield and McCoy "war" within the bitcoin community between a group who wanted to leave bitcoin as it was and another who wanted to develop a currency that, like cash, was cheaper and faster to use for small payments. Using Google's BigQuery, Day discovered that bitcoin cash, rather than increasing so-called micro-transactions, as the defecting developers claimed, was actually being hoarded among big holders of bitcoin cash. "I'm very interested to quantify what's happening so that we can see where the legitimate use cases are for blockchain," Day says. "Then we can move to the next use case and develop out what these technologies are really appropriate for."
Day's work is inspiring others. Tomasz Kolinko is a Warsaw-based programmer and the creator of a service that analyzes smart contracts, a feature of certain blockchains that is designed to transparently enforce contractual obligations like collateralized loans but with less reliance on third parties, like lawyers. Kolinko was frustrated with his blockchain queries.
In December, Kolinko met Day at a hackathon in Singapore. Within a month of the meeting, Kolinko was using Google's tools to search for a smart contract feature called a "selfdestruct," designed to limit a contract's life span. Using his own software in conjunction with Day's, Kolinko took 23 seconds to search 1.2 million smart contracts—something that would have taken hours before. The result: Almost 700 of them had left open a selfdestruct feature that would let anyone instantly kill the smart contract, whether that person was authorized or not. "In the past you couldn't just easily check all the contracts that were using it," Kolinko says. "This tool is both the most scary and most inspiring I've ever built."
Day is now expanding beyond bitcoin and ethereum. Litecoin, zcash, dash, bitcoin cash, ethereum classic and dogecoin are being added to BigQuery. Independent developers are loading their own crypto data sets on Google. Last August, a Dutch developer named Wietse Wind uploaded the entire 400 gigabytes of transaction data from Ripple's XRP blockchain, another popular cryptocurrency, into BigQuery. Wind's data, which he updates every 15 minutes, prompted a Danish designer named Thomas Silkjaer to create a heat map of crypto flows. The resulting colorful orb reveals at a glance more than a million crypto wallets, including big exchanges like Binance and London's crypto debit card startup Wirex, which are neck deep in XRP transactions.
"Google has been a bit of a sleeping giant in blockchain," says BlockApps CEO Kieren James-Lubin, who is partnering with Google to sell enterprise blockchain apps. In addition to Day's work, Google has filed numerous patents related to the blockchain, including one in 2018 to use a "lattice" of interoperating blockchains to increase security, a big deal in a world where untold millions of crypto have been stolen by hackers. The company is also pushing its developers to build apps on the Ethereum blockchain, and Google's venture arm, GV, has made a number of significant investments in crypto startups.
The giant, it seems, is waking up.

Fake News: Canadian Media Duped By White Supremacist Terrorism Hoax
March 3, 2017 March 3, 2017 5856 Views 1 Comment Canada, Concordia University, Council of Conservative Citizens, Hisham Saadi
This is Hisham Saadi:
Yesterday evening, the fake news Lügenpresse in Canada ran with the story that a group called the Council of Conservative Citizens Canada (C4) had made bomb threats to Concordia University and McGill University. The story about a "white supremacist" terrorist group was all over the Canadian media. A reporter from VICE News contacted me about it this morning.
It must have sounded like a journalist's dream come true: evil international white supremacist terrorist organization plots bombing campaign against peaceful Muslim students!
This is the letter sent by Council of Conservative Citizens of Canada to the University and all local news outlet. #ConcordiaUniversity pic.twitter.com/mLRFGdotUy
— Tariq Yusufzai (@TariqYusufzai) March 1, 2017
Give me a break. It was fake news:
"A man has been arraigned in connection with alleged bombing threats at Concordia University in Montreal.
Hisham Saadi, 47, is charged with mischief, uttering threats and inciting fear of a terrorist-related attack.
Three university buildings in the downtown area were evacuated for several hours Wednesday after Concordia received what it called bomb threats targeting Muslim students. …"
CBC reports:
"Saadi is not known to police. He did not resist arrest, Boisselle said.
Boisselle said it's unclear whether the man has any ties to the university.
Police searched the apartment for almost five hours. No explosives or anything to do with making bombs were found on the premises. …
The arrest didn't comfort Aouatif Zebiri, a student at Concordia and member of the Muslim Students' Association.
The threatening letter purportedly came from a group that calls itself Council of Conservative Citizens of Canada. Since it's still unclear if the man who was arrested will be charged or if he's linked to that group, she isn't feeling reassured. …"
There isn't a Council of Conservative Citizens of Canada (C4)!
Instead, there was only Hisham Saadi who was arrested this morning in Montréal and charged with making terrorist threats and inciting fear of a terrorist-related attack. He has nothing to do with the Council of Conservative Citizens. We've never heard of this disturbed individual. He is not a member of our organization. As far as we can tell, he has a North African name ("Hisham" is Arabic for "generous") and lives in a Montréal neighborhood with a large immigrant population.
This is not the first time the Council of Conservative Citizens has been the victim of fake news. It felt like déjà vu for us yesterday evening. In the summer of 2015, the Lügenpresse relentlessly spread the fake news story that Dylann Roof was associated with the Council of Conservative Citizens. We had never heard of Dylann Roof either. He wasn't a member of our organization. Two years later, Dylann Roof was convicted of murder and sentenced to death in Charleston and in the course of his trial zero evidence was produced that showed he had any connection to the Council of Conservative Citizens.
The Council of Conservative Citizens Canada (C4) logo suggests that Hisham Saadi was also aware of our organization and had visited our website. We have no idea what possessed him to make these bombs threats and can only speculate that it was likely another now familiar race hoax to portray Muslims as victims. Similarly, we have no idea what possessed Dylann Roof in 2015 to link us to his own agenda, although Roof at least later took full responsibility for his own actions.
The Canadian media has an agenda which is to demonize White people, portray Muslims as innocent victims of "white supremacy" and silence free speech to preserve their failing multicultural society. It is a ludicrous misrepresentation of reality. We believe the Canadian public is probably familiar with this fake news Narrative and the leftwing political agenda behind it.
Note: If you support what we are doing, you can buy the "Ban Muslims, Not Guns" bumper sticker in the CofCC store. It might have been what triggered this lunatic.

One thought on "Fake News: Canadian Media Duped By White Supremacist Terrorism Hoax"
Hisham Saadi, you say? One of these days, Canada is going to regret allowing all these Norwegians to immigrate into their lovely nation.
Apparently, the Corrupt Leftist Media in Canada is just as STUPID, DISHONEST and USELESS as our own…

Time sure has flown by. Here we are preparing for the La Quinta Arts Festival once more! I'm very excited to be kicking my show season off at this show again, as I have a number of new pieces I can't wait to display. One of which is Wind Chester, my latest limited-edition bronze and my first eagle.
I'm also really looking forward to seeing the reception this year to my expanded "Desk Buddies" collection. When I debuted them at La Quinta last year my patrons had to place orders, since I'd had time to produce only one of each. This year I've been able to build up some inventory, so patrons will experience instant gratification. The little fellows definitely give my overall body of work balance, as they are priced to be accessible.
One of my favorite parts of the show is always connecting with people — collectors and fellow artists. There is such an amazing energy and spirit with the crowd there. So if you'll be at the show, be sure to stop by! Look for booth 800.
Soon we'll be out of the snow in Colorado and soaking in the sun, mountains, beautiful art, and great people in La Quinta, California!

James Ellison (17 March 1901 – 5 January 1958) was an English professional footballer who played as a full-back for various clubs, including Southampton and Rochdale, in the 1920s.

Football career
Ellison was born in St Helens, Lancashire and played his early football as an amateur with  St Helens YMCA, Tranmere Rovers, Rotherham County and Rhyl United before he moved to the south coast to join Southampton in May 1927.

After a satisfactory trial period, Ellison signed a professional contract in October 1927. He spent most of his time with the Saints in the reserves, making 59 appearances in his year at The Dell. His only first-team appearance came on 10 March 1928, when he took the place of Arthur Bradford at right-back for the game against Port Vale; the match was lost 2–1.

In the summer of 1928, Ellison returned to Lancashire to join Rochdale for whom he made 16 appearances in the Football League Third Division North, before winding up his career back in Wales with Connah's Quay.

Later career
After retiring from football, he returned to St Helens, where he worked for Forster's Glass Company, playing occasionally for the works team.

Tarte Lights Camera Lashes VS Almay Get Up & Grow Mascara!
There are a few makeup products that are super important to me, and mascara is one of them!
I used to buy one from Clinique, before I figured out that their products are high risk for toxicity. Then I switched to the Tarte brand. I have also used the Organic Wear from Physicians Formula, and now Almay Get Up & Grow.
I truly believe Almay Get Up & Grow is a drugstore dupe for Tarte Lights Camera Lashes.
Can you tell which mascara is applied to which eye?
Tarte is on the left side of the picture, and Almay is on the right side of the picture.
Claims to lengthen, curl, volumize, and condition. It is infused with olive esters to condition, treat, and protect lashes.
I am sitting here typing this up at 11 o'clock PM. I put the mascara on at 10 o'clock AM. I would say that's a pretty long enough time to have really put these mascaras to the test. Neither flaked. Both look about the same as when I put them on this morning. They are so similar, I can barely tell the difference between them.
I highly recommend trying the Almay Get Up & Grow Waterproof Mascara. Although it is waterproof, removing it hasn't been a problem for me. I always use coconut oil as a mascara remover. It comes right off.


Writing a nonfiction book has unparalleled power to brand you as a thought leader, attract clients, and multiply your message. Sometimes the results are nearly magical. If you don't believe it, consider what happened to Sharon Eakes.
Sharon Eakes is a vibrant individual and professional in her mid-70s. An executive coach, Sharon lives on her own terms, coaching part-time, travelling internationally, and spending precious time with family. As a coach to leaders who face complicated struggles; a survivor of a rare and aggressive cancer; and a deeply spiritual person, Sharon is passionate about living with intention.
For over 15 years, Sharon has written a column for a local community magazine called The Green Tree Times. Her monthly columns reflect on tapping the power of the mind, creating relationships that work, and seeing the connections between all things. Sharon reposts her monthly columns, complete with coaching questions, in her own online newsletter for clients and friends.
Recently, Sharon hired my company, inCredible Messages, to work with her to organize and publish the best-of-the-best of these columns in a book called Fresh Views on Resilient Living. She never expected the amazing opportunity that came just a few months after publication. Sharon envisioned this book as a way to create her legacy and share her thoughts with friends and family as enters her senior years. Sharon has authored and promoted other books to build her business, but she viewed this book differently—more of a personal legacy than a business tool. While Sharon placed the book on Amazon and sent copies to friends, she did not embark on an aggressive promotion strategy. In fact, Sharon didn't even host a book launch party.
Not to be deterred, Fresh Views on Resilient Living developed a magic of its own. A friend of Sharon's took it upon himself to send a copy of the book to Arianna Huffington. As a result, Sharon was invited to become a regular HuffPost blogger within months of publishing this book. Here is a link to Sharon's first post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sharon-eakes/seeing_b_8215486.html.
Both the page views and the credibility that come with being a HuffPost blogger will multiply Sharon's message and result in countless opportunities. Imagine what might happen if Sharon starts actually promoting this book!
Of course, most often, the magic of writing a nonfiction book comes with the hard work of the author's promotion. Prestigious blogging opportunities don't typically drop in your lap mere months after you become an author. At the same time, there is nothing like writing and publishing a nonfiction book to dramatically increase the chances that you will receive writing and speaking opportunities that allow you to promote your message and build your business.
A nonfiction book has unparalleled power to grow your business. Have you written your book yet?

It's PINK Birthday time again! The Blond Macaron just turned 29 and the very last Birthday in your 20s is a very special one. OMG. Guess we are officially grown up adults!
But, we will always be little princesses on our Birthdays. We want to have a tiara, tons of cheesy PINK decorations and a huge Minnie Mouse balloon, what else?! 😉 And we want to keep our inner child not only on our Birthdays but always and until we are old and grey. We should all remember daily to stay lighthearted, don't worry about too much and go through life with less prejudices. To see and appreciate the little things, not demand too much from ourselves and enjoy every single day. Things we tend to forget when we grow up but every child naturally does. We can for sure be happy with what we have in our lives and what we reached in our 20s. And when we have a bad day, we can look at Minnie and become little girls with bright eyes again and be a little more carefree. Let's say more often: "Sorry, I can't adult today"!
Ihr habt so recht! Am besten nie erwachsen werden. Ich habe noch als Oma ein Krönchen auf 😉 Why not!
Nice pics, I love Mini!


Review new classroom materials including textbooks for K-8 English language arts and Spanish language arts before they are adopted by Comal ISD.
Parents and community members along with teachers are invited to attend the Instructional Materials Showcase 9 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 9, at Canyon Middle School, 2014 FM 1101, New Braunfels. This is an opportunity to view instructional materials and attend publisher presentations on the K-8 English language arts (ELA) and Spanish language arts (SLA) textbook adoptions being considered for Comal ISD.
The SBOE conducts a review of TEKS for each content area on a rotating schedule, McDonald says, issuing a proclamation asking for new instructional materials once it has revised or adopted new TEKS. The proclamation lists the subject areas scheduled for review and is named for the year the materials will go into the classroom.
Proclamation 2019 was issued by the SBOE at its April 2017 meeting calling for instructional materials for ELA and reading, grades K-8; SLA and reading, grades K-6; spelling (English and Spanish), grades 1-6; handwriting (English and Spanish), grades K-5; English Learners Language Arts, grades 7-8; and Personal Financial Literacy.
The materials viewed during the Showcase will be used in the classrooms during the 2019-2020 school year. Comal ISD ELA and SLA teachers will vote on their choice of materials in February, and their choices will go before the Comal ISD Board of Trustees in April or May for approval.

Travel Weekly's Cruise E-letter: March 4, 2008
CARNIVAL CRUISE LINES saw a continued shakeup in its top ranks. Maurice Zarmati, a 36-year veteran of sales at Carnival Cruise Lines, was named president and CEO of Costa Cruise Lines North America, another Carnival Corp.-owned company. Zarmati assumes his new role at Costa on March 31, where he will be responsible for sales and marketing efforts for Costa's North and Central American regions. The Costa role was most recently held by Lynn Torrent, who left Costa to join Carnival Cruise Lines as its senior vice president of sales and customer service. Roberto Martinoli, Carnival's executive vice president of operations, meanwhile told the line he would leave on March 7. Martinoli is moving back to Monaco and returning to the consulting business.
CARNIVAL CORP. is also losing an executive: Jack Anderson, vice president of marketing for Carnival Corp. and the executive director of the World's Leading Cruise Lines, a marketing identity for Carnival's North American cruise brands, is retiring at the end of March. He has been with Carnival Corp. since 1999; prior to that he spent 25 years with Carnival Corp. brand Holland America Line.
NCL CORP. blamed higher interest expenses and the weakening U.S. dollar for its $133 million fourth-quarter loss and its $227 million loss for full-year 2007. The numbers were worse than 2006's fourth quarter and full year losses despite a 9.9% increase in revenue in 2007, to $2.2 billion. NCL said that its fourth-quarter revenue was up 10.7%, to $497.5 million, which it attributed to a 4% increase in capacity days and an 11% increase in net yields, which it said was driven by higher ticket pricing, improved onboard spending and increased occupancy.
OCEANIA AND SILVERSEA revealed details about their upcoming new ships:
• Silversea will rename its newly acquired expedition ship the Prince Albert II, in tribute to Prince Albert of Monaco, and said the vessel would begin operations June 12 from London. The ship will spend an inaugural summer season in the Arctic Circle, Iceland and Greenland and reposition to South America and Antarctica for fall and winter.
• Oceania said that its two newbuilds, scheduled for delivery in 2010 and 2011, would accommodate 1,252 passengers in 626 cabins and suites; the line said that 96% of the cabins would have balconies. Each ship will have six open-seating restaurants, Oceania said, and the vessels will be "awash in rich, dark woods, Italian marble, lustrous granite, fine wool carpets and sumptuous leather."
CRYSTAL AND OCEANIA have opened the books on their 2009 sailings, with an emphasis on overnight port calls.
• Crystal in 2009 is sailing 57 cruises to 185 ports on cruises of seven to 106 days. Its two ships will sail in Asia and offer overnight calls in Hong Kong; Shanghai; Osaka and Kobe, Japan; and Bangkok. The line also will include overnight calls on most of its Mediterranean sailings, in cities such as Barcelona, Spain; Sorrento and Venice, Italy; Istanbul, Turkey; and Monaco.
• Oceania, meanwhile, detailed its Europe deployment: It will position its three ships in Europe for summer 2009, sailing the Mediterranean and Greek Isles and Northern Europe. Oceania will offer 56 European voyages ranging from 10 to 30 days and calling at more than 80 different ports, including five new destinations for the line: Hellesylt, Norway; Fowey, England; Biarritz, France; Koper, Slovenia; and Split, Croatia. The line said it was offering more overnight stays than in previous years.

Cloud in 2019: The year of choice not compromise for UAE enterprises
CloudIndustry ExpertIntelligent TechnologyTop Stories
Mark Bowen | 14 January, 2019
James Petter, EMEA VP at Pure Storage
Many of today's enterprises feel they have to compromise in order to bridge the divide between on-premise and public cloud. However, James Petter, EMEA VP at Pure Storage, explains that storage providers want customers to have the flexibility to maximise benefits of multi cloud.
It's hard to believe we're now 15 years into 'cloud' – it's been great to see adoption levels increase in the UAE over the past year or so, in line with a marked shift and a real maturity in how organisations are thinking about their cloud strategies. In fact, according to IDC, spending on public cloud in the UAE is expected to almost quadruple, from approximately $119.6 in 2017 to $411.4 in 2022.
But as a consequence, today, regional enterprises may feel like they have to compromise in order to bridge the divide between on-premise and public cloud. It's a divide that is now set against the backdrop of the increasing imperative for enterprise application mobility, driven by the likes of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and data analytics.
While each approach carries its own benefits, what organisations really need is flexibility and choice when it comes to infrastructure. This choice should be based on business objectives, not constrained by what the technology can do or where it lives.
Flexibility is key here – business objectives change all the time, and organisations need the freedom to adjust and adapt where necessary. Workloads and applications should live where it makes the most sense for them to live.
Overcoming barriers to hybrid cloud
The obvious solution is a hybrid approach. Most CIOs have now moved beyond simple 'all on-prem' or 'all cloud' strategies, to realise that both are powerful tools in delivering on their IT strategies. They are opting instead for 'hybrid cloud' with a real commitment to using both. This, however, is easier said than done and poses many challenges itself.
Firstly, most enterprise applications run on-premise, and migrating them to the cloud can be tricky. By that same token, most web scale applications are built in the cloud and so migrating them on-premise can be equally difficult.
Today's organisations cannot afford disruption or downtime, making seamless and agile movement across different clouds a business necessity. In addition, on-premise and cloud storage have different features and APIs, rendering development of applications that run seamlessly across both nearly impossible.
Modern requirements
If these barriers were not enough to cause regional enterprises a headache, there's the added complexity that faces all modern organisations – data. Data is now considered the 'new currency' for businesses but keeping this data in check and using it to its full advantage is no easy feat.
To put this in to context, according to IDC, the volume of data generated by the Internet of Things (IoT) alone will be as much in 2025 as the amount of ALL data created in 2020. That's a tremendous amount of data, which will dictate the needs of a business's infrastructure. Once this data dictates a different set of requirements, enterprises will need to have the ability to quickly and seamlessly move an application born in the cloud to an on-premise environment (or vice-versa).
No longer a case of either-or… AND is now possible
At present, many local businesses are being forced to compromise, as opposed to having the ability and agility to design an infrastructure that works for them. Fortunately, the tide is changing, and we are entering into the era of AND, not OR.
As storage providers, we want customers to have the flexibility to maximise benefits of multi cloud, and now we can offer that bridge by unifying the cloud. Simply put, businesses no longer need to compromise – modern data solutions enable UAE enterprises to deliver on their cloud vision in three unique ways.
Build: Organisations will be able to build private clouds on-premise or in hosted environments to deliver storage-as-a-service with the performance, availability and ease of use that every business needs and deserves.
Run: Businesses will have the ability to run applications in on-prem or hosted environments, yet also run them seamlessly in the public cloud. Having a single storage platform will deliver consistent storage services, resiliency and APIs – meaning applications can be built once and then run anywhere in the hybrid cloud model.
Protect: A new model for data protection – and this is a crucial point. The traditional disk and tape-based data protection model is failing to keep up with the demands of the cloud era. Data sizes are growing, customers expect global availability, and having PBs of backup data stuck in a vault is no longer acceptable. The combination of flash and cloud allows customers to re-invent data protection, enabling both fast local recovery from flash and low-cost long-term retention and data re-use in the cloud.
Data is the lifeblood of any organisation and there needs to be flexibility for businesses to maximise value from this data. The era of the cloud divide is coming to an end, ushering in the age of choice where public and on-premise worlds can now co-exist, bridged seamlessly with a common storage layer, so applications and data are free to move easily between owned and rented clouds.
The ultimate result for UAE enterprises? They can take advantage of the agility and flexibility of a hybrid environment to develop applications faster and have the freedom to ensure applications no longer have to be linked to any one type of infrastructure. This in turn allows them to create a data centric architecture that's right for the business, and one that puts enterprises on the right path for future success.

No my mum doesn’t have an iPad

It’s kind of crazy sometimes to work in an industry where everything is media, emails, posts, tweets, pings, poke and feeds. However, what many – including myself until recently – do not realise, is that we are all surrounded by a lot more people that have no idea what twitter is and can’t care less for facebook or the latest crazy app on iPhone.

A good example of this is my mum. She uses internet to check her emails like twice a week, go to gardening websites and sometimes pushes it and buys something online. But one thing my mum doesn’t understand – and doesn’t need at all – is that the crazy developer community that we are can communicate in less than 140 characters, text messages or through posts on a “wall”.

No, my mum doesn’t have an iPad. She has a phone, with buttons, I can hear her voice, and it’s great that way!

Use your phone.
