Well, it took some time till I decided to make it public, I guess, but here it is.
A lot of the xml (most of them, I think) files have been modified, to add the border (Thanks to Drakah for it!), as well as make them larger (to compensate for the thicker border).
Because of the border, I also had to make some windows fixed (rather than sizable). Namely, windows with tabs (i.e. Options), or with sliders (i.e. Loot window) needed that. For some reason you cannot change the width of tabbed/slider windows, unless you lock them. If you know of a solution to that, please let me know and I'll make the windows sizable again.
The Book window (when reading books, etc.) has been modified to look like the T.King spellbook, but I also added a top border for the title of the book to show.
On the right side of the window you can see a border, marking the Buff and Song windows. They go from top to bottom, and I gave them only the right border.
In the 1600x1280 version of the UI the Song window looks the same as the buff window (though you can't see any songs playing in the pictures).
In the 1280x1024 version, due to size constraints, the Song window is limited to a 3x3 icon-only (no song names showing).
(Note: I am considering changing the pet window to something simpler in the future, since I don't ever have it on anyway).
The zip files are about 3mb's each. You will also find an ini file zipped along with the UI files, which contains the window positions as shown on the screenshots.
The ini file is the same for both UIs (it has the info for both resolutions), but due to the difference in the Songs xml (this is the only difference among the 2 UIs really), you will need to put the UI files in different directories and switch to the appropriate one if you change resolutions.

GAO Report: Waste Water Injection Poorly Regulated
By Leigh Paterson | July 28, 2014

Did you know that each day 2 billion – that's 2 BILLION – gallons of fluids are injected into some 172,000 underground wells to either "stimulate" (frack) oil and gas production, or to get rid of wastewater produced in the process of oil and gas production?
That is a veritable flood of fluids; a river of injected waste.
Did you also know that most American's get their drinking water from underground sources, sources that could be contaminated by these waste fluids if they are not carefully regulated?
All that is background to a new and alarming report from the US Government Accountability Office that finds the Environmental Protection Agency isn't doing enough to keep drinking water free from these contaminants.
The EPA is charged with overseeing the disposal of the salty wastewater into underground injection wells. This byproduct comes out of the ground, along with oil and gas, during extraction. They are also charged with regulating the injection of chemically-enhanced fluids into wells that are hydraulically-fractured to stimulate oil and gas production.
Although the EPA has some protections in place to keep underground sources of drinking water clean during this process, the GAO finds they don't account for a new hazards:
The safeguards do not address emerging underground injection risks, such as seismic activity and overly high pressure in geologic formations leading to surface outbreaks of fluids…Because much of the population relies on underground sources for drinking water, these wells have raised concerns about the safety of the nation's drinking water.
So, the safeguards aren't looking to the future, and, in some ways, they do not adequately secure the present. The study finds that the EPA does not "consistently" conduct on-site evaluations of state safety programs. Why? According to the report, "some EPA officials" say the agency simply does not have the resources to do so.
But even before the GAO study, Propublica reported that the nation's program to inject toxic waste deep into the earth was troubled and dangerous:
Records from disparate corners of the United States show that wells drilled to bury this waste deep beneath the ground have repeatedly leaked, sending dangerous chemicals and waste gurgling to the surface or, on occasion, seeping into shallow aquifers that store a significant portion of the nation's drinking water.
Earlier this month, Propublica also reported that California officials ordered an emergency shut down of several oil and gas wells in the state and a review of hundreds more. The state's Division of Oil and Gas and Geothermal Resources stated that energy companies could be pumping waste into drinking water and that this method of waste disposal "poses danger to life, health, property, and natural resources."
Last year, Wyoming Public Media reported that the oil and gas industry in Wyoming has faced increased pressure to come up with a better way to dispose of waste. The alternatives, however, are expensive.

Diageo GB is launching a number of price marked pack (PMP) products. Over the next three months, the drinks giant will introduce a host of promotional bottles and cans of its best-selling brands, including Smirnoff No. 21, Bell's, Captain Morgan's Spiced, Guinness, Smirnoff Ice and its popular pre-mix range to stand alongside standard plain packs.
As part of a wider 'Shopper Understanding' research piece, Diageo GB has found that PMPs can improve shopper's perceptions in convenience retailers, with 86% saying they would trust a price marked item over the price on-shelf and 70% viewing PMPs as a promotion. Shoppers are also willing to pay more for 'convenience' but need reassurance they are getting value and PMPs can give consumers confidence that they are paying a fair price.
Additional findings revealed that 90% of convenience consumers would consider buying price marked spirits, so retailers can harness this by stocking this range.
Diageo GB has also identified that 93% of convenience shoppers are looking for 'something for tonight'. This occasion is an ideal platform for promoting smaller pack sizes, which are growing 10 times faster than 70cl spirits. Price marked packs of 35cl and 50cl Smirnoff and 35cl Bell's will also be introduced to the channel.
Roz Nash, Senior Category Development Manager for Convenience says: "Price marked packs are increasingly popular with consumers seeking reassurance that they are getting value for their money. Whilst shoppers are willing to pay more for convenience, there is a distinct perception that supermarkets will offer better quality at a more competitive price. By introducing price marked spirits, beer and pre-mix SKUs to their shelves, convenience retailers can offer what shoppers see as a promotion and drive greater rate of sale than the unmarked packs.

It's About Time places players in control of five playable characters as they traverse multiple levels, each filled with enemies, crates, Wumpa fruit and hazards, with the objective being to get from the start point to the goal as with the original trilogy. The game features two different game modes for players to engage in: Retro Mode, which focuses on the use of limited lives that require players to find additional ones during levels and forces them to restart a level should they run out; and Modern Mode, which replaces lives with a death counter that keeps track on each death in a level by its respective playable character. In addition, levels feature two separate variations, each of which features their own layout of hazards, enemies and objects – main story and "alternate timeline".

A Santebal, termo quemer que significa "guardião da paz", foi um ramo do Quemer Vermelho no Camboja. A Santebal era responsável por segurança interna e administração dos campos, como Tuol Sleng (S-21), onde milhares de prisioneiros foram torturados e mortos. A Santebal já era parte essencial do Quemer Vermelho anos antes deste tomar o Camboja, em 1975, e foi durante a maior parte do regime comandada por Kank Kek Iav.

História
Em 1975, quando o Quemer Vermelho toma o poder no Camboja, a Santebal cria diversas prisões em Phnom Penh, e no interior. As prisões, criadas para eliminar quaisquer pessoas que fossem consideradas inimigas da revolução foram povoadas com  minorias étnicas (como chineses, Cham e vietnamitas) e inimigos políticos. Em 1976, Kaing Guek Eav (mais conhecido como "Camarada Duch") é promovido a comandante da Santebal, e a escola de Tuol Sleng, em Phnom Penh, começa a ser usada como prisão (nomeada de S-21), podendo comportar até 1500 prisioneiros, e onde 20 000 pessoas foram presas durante os 3 anos do poder do Quemer Vermelho.

Após 1975, a Santebal começou a perseguir participantes do regime de Lon Nol, bem como intelectuais, membros do clérigo budista, comerciantes, e os chamados "inimigos externos", como os americanos e os vietnamitas. Depois, a perseguição se dirigiu a todos os cidadãos que se recusaram a adotar as ordens do partido, como a coletivização obrigatória, ou que protestaram de alguma forma contra o novo regime. Eventualmente, a Santebal começaria a prender os "inimigos do futuro", isto é, qualquer soldado ou cidadão que mostrasse sinais de se alinhar com ideologias consideradas anti-revolução.

Diferentemente de outros países socialistas da época, como China, Vietnã e URSS, a perseguição étnica e o ódio racial suplantaram a ideia da luta de classes, que foram em parte responsáveis pela queda do regime.

Duch foi julgado posteriormente, e condenado por crimes contra a humanidade, entre homicídio, escravização, tortura, perseguição política e estupro. Ele foi também condenado por crimes de guerra, como tortura, e negação de julgamento justo para prisioneiros de guerra, e foi condenado a uma sentença de 35 anos no total.

- the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing but the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
- or the data subject has objected to the processing (in which case the restriction applies for a period of time until it is established whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override the legitimate grounds of the data subject).
10.2.4 Right to object
The data subject may object to the processing under point 4 at any time on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, using the contact details provided in point 2, if he or she considers that the NBHT is processing his or her personal data in a way that is incompatible with the purposes of this privacy notice.

11. Right to legal redress
If the data subject considers that NBHT has infringed the applicable data protection requirements in the processing of his/her personal data, he/she may:

In addition to calling out Trump for breaking his campaign promises, Sanders noted many things which Trump failed to talk about, including climate change and voter suppression.
While overall a good speech, there were things which I wish Sanders had said, and one thing statement which was misleading. As has generally been the case with Democrats, there was nothing said about restrictions of civil liberties–passed with the cooperation of many Democrats. Nor were there protests over the never-ending war which Democrats are now accepting as the status quo. Nothing was said about the drug war, while Joe Kennedy III , among other Democrats, has been on the wrong side of this issue. This is what I want to see from a true resistance.
Sanders also stated that the Russians "interfered in our election in 2016, is interfering in democratic elections all over the world." While technically true, this plays into the hysteria being spread by Democrats, often based upon misinformation. While true that Russia meddled in our election, this must be kept in context that Russia has meddled in elections for decades–just as the United States has frequently meddled in foreign elections. Russian meddling has also been highly exaggerated. There is also no evidence that Russia had any effect on the election results. The information obtained through the Congressional hearings has shown that claims about Russian tampering with the election have been have been of little consequence. Similarly, multiple media reports of Russian hacking were subsequently retracted as false. I would hope that Sanders would know better to play into the misleading claims of Democrats who are distorting the facts to deny the blame they deserve for losing to Donald Trump due to choosing a candidate as terrible as Hillary Clinton, along with playing into the hands of neocons who are distorting Russian electoral interference as they used false claims of WMD in Iraq to promote their goal of regime change in Russia.
Bernie Sanders convened his top political advisers in Washington on Saturday for a planning meeting that included a discussion of the feasibility and shape of a possible 2020 presidential campaign, half a dozen senior Democrats familiar with the gathering confirmed to POLITICO.
The senator, 76, has consistently refused to rule out running when asked over the past year, instead pivoting the conversation to other topics.
"The senator is extremely focused on making sure the Democrats win in 2018 and that is the primary goal right now: to retake the House and retake the Senate so we can stop this horrendous Trump agenda," said Jeff Weaver, Sanders' campaign manager and top political adviser.
As I noted in a post yesterday, Bernie Sanders continues to poll well and, despite a false narrative spread by the Clinton camp, this includes considerable support from women voters and minorities. Sanders has been listed as the front runner by multiple sources including The Fix and Vox. Politico also looked at Sanders' preparations for a possible 2020 campaign in November.
During the conversation, according to the report, Kerry asked Agha to convey a message to Abbas and ask him to "hold on and be strong." Tell him, he told Agha, "that he should stay strong in his spirit and play for time, that he will not break and will not yield to President Trump's demands." According to Kerry, Trump will not remain in office for a long time. It was reported that within a year there was a good chance that Trump would not be in the White House.
In a report on the conversation, Agha said that Kerry appears to be "crazy about things," very energetic, and someone who is yearning to help realize the dream of peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Kerry explained, according to the report, that even in the Republican Party they do not know what to do with Trump and are very dissatisfied with him and that patience and breathing time are needed to get through this difficult period.
Considering the ages of other possible candidates including Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden, Kerry's age might not be a problem.

Hosted at Payette in April, the first half of BSA Global's Meeting 003 was a roll-out of a proposed structure for future meetings, with discussion to establish an agenda for Meeting 004 in July. The second half was a brainstorming session on how the Global Practice Network could become engaged in external initiatives, such as contributing to ArchitectureBoston or curating an exhibition for BSA Space. Also, it was announced that Alan Mountjoy AIA (Principal at NBBJ) will join Mark Careaga AIA as committee co-chair.
Committee members will present themselves and their international work to the group using 10 slides that will be set to run in 5 minutes.
An outside speaker will present on a topic of interest for international practice. Examples include specialists in international contracts, representatives from the US Commercial Service, or members of academia.
Project + Project will occur twice a year, in July and January. PechaKucha will be each October, and Import / Export will occur each April.
During the latter half of Meeting 003, we met with ArchitectureBoston editor Renée Loth, who outlined the process she and the editorial board go through for developing an issue. She asked attendees to describe where in the world they are working and the kinds of issues they encounter, which led to some ideas that could germinate for the winter issue, which has already been assigned a "Global" theme. We also met with Mary Fichtner, BSA Director of Programs and Exhibits, to learn how exhibitions in BSA Space are organized and scheduled. There are typically 2-3 major exhibitions each year, and these are currently planned through 2016. There will be a call for entries for future exhibits sometime in the next 6 months. There are also small exhibits that are set up in conference rooms within BSA Space. The next opportunity to submit for one of these is late fall 2014.

The computer utility business's first large hostile takeover combat ended all of a sudden Sunday when Lotus construction Corp. agreed to be acquired by using IBM Corp. for $3.5 billion, or $sixty four per share--a modest top rate over the $60 per share that IBM had offered simply six days earlier.
In accepting IBM's sweetened present, Lotus and its amazing-willed chairman, James P. Manzi, had been bowing to the essential fact that IBM became inclined to pay twice what Lotus shares had been buying and selling for on the open market--and no other similarly free-spending suitor became on the horizon.
The deal, if accomplished, will create a formidable new competitor within the application enterprise, marrying IBM's muscle and robust presence in corporate computing markets with Lotus' laptop application technology, most importantly a product known as Notes. The combination continues to be field to antitrust clearance through the Federal alternate fee, but most observers are expecting the deal to be achieved.
"Lotus may be a very crucial and significant part of IBM and IBM's boom method," IBM chairman Louis V. Gerstner Jr. referred to Sunday. together, trade analysts observed, IBM and Lotus should be well-placed to fight it out with software chief Microsoft Corp.
contrary to what those near him had anticipated, Manzi observed he'll stay on to run Lotus as a free-standing subsidiary of IBM. He stressed out that IBM had agreed to retain Lotus' liberal personnel guidelines in region and in any other case permit Lotus to run its own reveal, agreements which he stated had been critical in persuading him to help the deal.
"in the technique of these negotiations, they have sorted the personnel, their shareholders, and extremely importantly their customers," Manzi mentioned. "Our intention is to circulation rapidly to carry the price of this aggregate to the market."
Manzi will develop into a senior vp of IBM, reporting without delay to Gerstner.
although cynics had been brief to say that Manzi will probably live on most effective for a transition length, gaining the Lotus chief's guide--and thereby turning a adverse takeover into a pleasant merger--became an important success for IBM. there is now a lot much less chance that key personnel will go away, and there's no danger of a prolonged takeover fight that could disrupt Lotus' operations.
Manzi's brief acceptance of a friendly deal did not seem to be possible on Monday, when IBM launched its surprise $3.3-billion bid. Miffed that he changed into advised only five minutes before a public announcement and feeling betrayed by using Gerstner's decision to proceed against his needs--Lotus had supported IBM via difficult times for each corporations--Manzi gave the impression of a person able to combat.
"He turned into simply steamed," observed one supply close to Manzi. soon, the Lotus chairman turned into making frantic calls to potential white knights, including AT&T.; however IBM's offer, roughly twice the $32.50 at which Lotus' inventory closed per week in the past Friday, become regarded beneficiant, and nobody become willing to bid towards IBM and its money reserves of $10.5 billion.
On Tuesday, Manzi known as Gerstner, and--after "a brief trip to St. Patrick's Cathedral," as he recounted Sunday--he went to Gerstner's manhattan house. The conferences persisted on Wednesday, and Manzi quickly begun seeing the merits of a mix with IBM. for the reason that Thursday, representatives for both agencies had been hunkered down in manhattan hashing out particulars of the deal.
"subsequently, Jim is a pragmatist," referred to an executive close to Manzi. "as soon as he realized that this turned into the simplest choice, he was going to barter the gold standard deal for Lotus buyers, personnel and himself."
indeed, most analysts say the merger makes loads of feel. the two companies have had an extended and shut relationship: the Lotus 1-2-three spreadsheet became the primary massive hit for the IBM personal computing device, and Lotus has continued to advance software for IBM's OS/2 operating gadget even after others abandoned it in choose of Microsoft home windows.
And IBM is in all probability the ideal enterprise to make the most the opportunities presented by Lotus Notes, a software software that permits agencies of individuals to share documents and in any other case work together electronically. This class of application, called groupware, is one of the few important segments of the application company that Microsoft is not located to dominate.
but making Notes into the groupware usual for significant corporations requires two issues that IBM has and Lotus lacks: money, and a sales force knowledgeable in selling to the corporate world. Wounded by its battles with Microsoft, Lotus has found itself with dwindling materials to advertise Notes: It posted a $17.5-million loss closing quarter as income from Notes did not make amends for all of a sudden declining sales of 1-2-three.
"This serves up some very massive opportunities that they did not have earlier than," Manzi acknowledged on Sunday.
"it's decent information the entire way round for everyone," agreed bill Milton, a Brown Brothers Harriman analyst. "The concern turned into that Lotus would lose its autonomy and its tradition," Milton stated, including that Manzi's resolution to stay and run Lotus became a huge nice.
Lotus sources talked about many personnel, worried through the business's negative economic performance of late and satisfied to profit their stock holdings, were delighted through the chance of a buyout.
Making the mixture work, youngsters, will be no effortless trick. Manzi, who stands to take down almost $78 million in promoting his Lotus shares to IBM, has a decidedly blended checklist as a supervisor, and it's far from clear how he and Gerstner and the other participants of IBM senior management will mesh.
IBM, for its half, has a foul record in managing arms-size relationships with smaller organizations in particular software corporations. within the late '80s, IBM shaped alliances with 5 notebook utility corporations as part of its laptop software group. with the aid of 1992, IBM dissolved its partnerships, conceding that the experiment had failed. The organizations, like Platinum utility Corp., complained that working with IBM become smothering.
and big mergers equivalent to this one, certainly within the excessive-tech sector, are at all times fraught with peril, analysts say. AT&T;'S buyout of the NCR desktop company, as an instance, has been a huge disappointment.
The success or failure of the merger may depend upon the chemistry between Manzi and Gerstner, each former consultants at McKinsey & Co.
Manzi has been firmly in handle of Lotus because 1986, when company founder Mitch Kapor left. It has been a rocky journey on the management front, with repeated waves of govt defections.
"he isn't very respectable at constructing teams," noted Frank King, a former Lotus vice chairman who spent 19 years at IBM.
among his friends within the utility trade, Manzi is called some thing of a loner. And his song checklist as Lotus' chief strategist is additionally blended. It changed into beneath Manzi's watch that Lotus misplaced its side on spreadsheets to Microsoft, generally as a result of its cussed refusal to develop models for the Microsoft home windows operating gadget unless an awful lot later than most other groups.
nevertheless, Manzi had the foresight to put money into Notes when few concept it became a worthwhile product, and he has accomplished well in securing the loyalty of the essential Notes development group and its leader, Ray Ozzie.
Observers said he may additionally neatly view the opportunity to be a big participant internal IBM as an new possibility, with some speculating that Manzi could finally have the possibility to run all of IBM's personal desktop agencies. besides the fact that children Gerstner became noncommittal about it Sunday, or not it's viable that a few of IBM's other computing device utility operations could be transferred to Lotus.
"Manzi changed into trying to take anything Mitch Kapor created--the 1-2-three business--and turn it into the Notes company," King stated. "The clock ran out. The query still is: Can Notes turn into a $1-billion business? perhaps IBM can do a far better job at answering that query. It actually can put much more funds at the back of it than Lotus."
The success of IBM's $3.5-billion buyout of Lotus construction Corp. will rely largely on the relationship between IBM Chairman Louis V. Gerstner and Lotus Chairman James P. Manzi, who has agreed to reside on after the merger.
outdated journey: Chairman of RJR Nabisco. President of yankee express. advisor for McKinsey & Co.
recognition: considered a robust fiscal manager, he receives credit for reversing IBM's long slide. however many remain cautious of his lack of technical competencies.
JAMES P. MANZI, Chairman and chief executive, Lotus building Corp.
training: master's in economics, Fletcher faculty of legislation and Diplomacy.
previous experience: advertising and marketing director, Lotus building. consultant for McKinsey & Co. Reporter for Gannett Newspapers.
popularity: He had the forsight to invest in Notes application, now Lotus' biggest asset. but he has squandered other alternatives and is regularly criticized for erratic management.
IBM got Lotus application back in 1995 for $3.5 billion. it be now divesting the technology, along with six different one-time cornerstone business applications.
There changed into a time when Lotus Notes and Domino have been the cornerstones of IBM's application portfolio, enabling enterprise collaboration and productiveness. those days are now in the past, as IBM is divesting these belongings, together with a few other applications, to HCL applied sciences.
HCL applied sciences will pay IBM $1.8 billion, with the deal anticipated to shut in mid-2019. besides Notes and Domino, HCL is acquiring several other enterprise functions, together with: Appscan for secure software development, BigFix for secure machine management, Unica (on-premises) for advertising automation, Commerce (on-premises) for omni-channel eCommerce, Portal (on-premises) for digital event, and Connections for workstream collaboration.
"We consider the time is appropriate to divest these select collaboration, advertising and commerce software property, which can be more and more delivered as standalone products," John Kelly, IBM senior vice chairman, Cognitive solutions and analysis, wrote in a media advisory. " on the same time, they believe these products are a strong strategic healthy for HCL, and that HCL is neatly positioned to pressure innovation and growth for his or her consumers."
IBM has increasingly been stepping into cloud and artificial intelligence over the last 4 years, and has constructed up other belongings that it is going to focus on.
lots of the functions being sold to HCL have been at first acquired via IBM from different vendors.
IBM acquired Lotus application, maker of Notes and Domino, in 1995 for $3.5 billion, although the Lotus brand wasn't dropped via IBM except 2012.
AppScan which is now being sold to HCL, changed into as soon as the cornerstone of the IBM Rational software portfolio. IBM bought the AppScan product portfolio as part of the acquisition of safety seller Watchfire in June 2007.
BigFix turned into got by IBM to become a part of its Tivoli operations division in July 2010, while Unica was acquired by way of IBM in August 2010 for $480 million.
HCL technologies is based in Noida, India, and positions itself as a digital transformation company. HCL and IBM had already been partnering on most of the got software assets.
"We continue to look amazing alternatives in the market to raise their Mode-three (items and systems) offerings," C Vijayakumar, President & CEO, HCL applied sciences, wrote in a media advisory. "The items that we're buying are in gigantic starting to be market areas like security, advertising and marketing and Commerce, that are strategic segments for HCL. a lot of these items are well viewed via customers and positioned within the precise quadrant by business analysts."
HCL technologies has bought selected IBM software groups — together with some traditional Lotus Notes, Domino and Tivoli items — for $1.8 billion.
The deal highlights IBM CEO Ginni Rometty's effort to increase the company's earnings combine — specifically because the business prepares to digest red Hat for more than $34 billion.
nonetheless, the HCL deal additionally highlights IBM's failure to navigate the shift from customer-server to SaaS business fashions on distinct items in diverse market segments.
HCL and IBM have an ongoing IP Partnership for 5 of those products, the two groups pointed out.
IBM received Lotus for $3.fifty two billion in 1995 and Tivoli for $743 million in 1996. Lotus Notes and Domino ranked among the precise client-server groupware and electronic mail systems in the Nineties — competing head-on towards Microsoft trade. however while Microsoft made a a success transition to office 365 in the cloud, Notes and Domino generally ignored the cloud era.
Tivoli, meanwhile, ranked among the large four IT management application suppliers — competing head-on against CA technologies, BMC and HP in the Nineties and early 2000s. each and every of those companies stumbled slightly as global 2000 groups pursued simplified IT management platforms in fresh years — opening the door for ServiceNow to disrupt fundamental parts of the market.
Even because it sheds some utility belongings, IBM is doubling down on the software market in other areas. The company's pending pink Hat buyout, valued at round $34 billion, potentially gives IBM a powerful software footprint in on-premises records facilities and third-birthday party clouds.
Some media coverage suggests that the IBM-pink Hat combo will compete head-on in opposition t Amazon internet functions (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. but that isn't utterly proper. pink Hat doesn't have a big IaaS or SaaS enterprise. somewhat, purple Hat's application typically runs on third-party public clouds — together with AWS, Azure and positively IBM Cloud. It's also largely deployed on-premises, which skill IBM could benefit a strong hybrid cloud story.
nonetheless, the IBM-purple Hat deal additionally spotlight's IBM's pressing deserve to shake up its own company as more and more valued clientele shift workloads to AWS, Azure and to a point Google Cloud Platform.

IBM's latest quarterly financial results reinforce a growing concern: The technology giant may ultimately become an also-ran in the cloud computing and artificial intelligence markets. The current business scenario is somewhat akin to IBM in the 1990s — which tried and failed to make OS/2 the preferred software platform for client-server computing — ultimately losing out to Windows desktops along with Windows NT and Linux servers.
Part of IBM's current problem involves the way it reports financial results. By lumping together cloud and cognitive software sales into one line item, the company may actually be undermining a relatively decent (though far from stellar) cloud story.
Total revenue of $18.182 billion, down from $19.072 billion in the corresponding quarter last year.
Net income of $1.591 billion, down from $1.679 billion.
The earnings beat Wall Street's expectations, but revenues were short of analyst expectations, SeekingAlpha says.
IBM CEO Ginni Rometty since 2012 has been reshaping the company for growth markets such as cloud services, cognitive computing, mobile, security and more. IBM has also been selling off slow-growth or no-growth software businesses.
Gartner says the worldwide public cloud market will grow 17.3 percent in 2019. But IBM's annual as-a-service run rate grew only 10 percent year-over-year in Q1 2019. AWS and Azure are larger and are growing far more rapidly.
The artificial intelligence market is expected to exceed $191 billion by 2024, representing a compound annual growth rate of 37 percent from about 2018, according to this report. And yet it's safe to say that IBM's own cognitive software revenues were relatively flat and perhaps even down in some areas.
Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure are running away with the public cloud market, while Google Cloud Platform is at least giving chase with some new and innovative MSP-oriented moves.
As a result, many ISVs (independent software vendors) and MSPs are embracing multi-cloud management strategies that extend across AWS and Azure — and, increasingly, Google. IBM occasionally pops up in that multi-cloud management conversation — but not frequently enough, in my opinion.
IBM's answer to the cloud challenge involves buying Red Hat for hybrid-cloud software. The concept: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is very popular within on-premises data centers and across public clouds. Buying Red Hat, therefore, gives IBM instant credibility as a multi-cloud and hybrid cloud software provider.
In other words, IBM leaders missed the most important point of the cloud era — they didn't make Watson easy to consume.
OS/2 Warp Deja Vu?: For me, it's a case of deja vu. Roughly 25 years ago, IBM OS/2 may have been the strongest operating system on the market. But the best technology didn't win because (A) it was difficult to install/consume and (B) lacked ISV support. Fast forward to present day, and similar trends are surfacing with IBM Cloud and Watson — especially as ISVs flock to Azure and AWS.
When OS/2's limited opportunities became clear, IBM went out and acquired Lotus Notes to move into the faster-growth groupware collaboration market. It was a good move for about a decade — until Microsoft Exchange Server ultimately crushed IBM in that sector.
Fast forward to present day. IBM has essentially lost the public cloud wars, and will acquire Red Hat to try and win the hybrid cloud wars. Amid all that, IBM's overall business is holding up reasonably well. Overall cloud revenues are growing.
Good profits and cash flow will fund R&D, and there are additional opportunities on the horizon. Chief among them: Areas like Blockchain and security.
In security, IBM delivered double-digit growth in Q1 2019, and has good traction with threat management software and services offerings, including QRadar and Resilient, CFO Jim Kavanaugh said during yesterday's earnings call. Also, IBM's security intelligence operations and consulting services, which detect and respond to security threats for clients, are gaining momentum, he added.
Those are promising anecdotes. But overall, it's clear to me that IBM's so-called strategic imperatives haven't fully paid off for the company, its customers or its partners.

Jackson's work earned her two Pulitzer Prize nominations and the award for National Conservation Writer of the Year. She also won an Alicia Patterson Fellowship to study the economics of southern Appalachia.
Investigative reporter, columnist, editor, novelist. Dot Jackson was born in 1932 in Miami, Florida, to William Walter Woodin Mauldin and Doretta Eulalia Thode, who were both born and reared in the Appalachian area of the Keowee River Valley of South Carolina. Jackson's only sibling, Walter Wilds Mauldin, died in a plane crash on his twenty-first birthday during the battle of Iwo Jima. Her mother, a teacher and professional artist, was an offspring of the German Colonization Society that founded Walhalla, South Carolina. Her father worked on a small truck farm in Florida during the Depression and helped build dams for the Tennessee Valley Authority. Jackson felt a personal sense of "place" when the Mauldins moved temporarily to Hot House Township in Cherokee, North Carolina. The family subsequently returned to the Everglades area where her father worked to build a base for naval blimps.
Dot Jackson received a music scholarship from the University of Miami where she also studied dance but dropped out her junior year to marry psychologist Bill (Willy) Jackson, whose parents were from Grand Cayman Island. They had three children—Frederick Walter, Thomas Julian, and Johanna Katharine. Tom died during his senior year in college; both Fred and Katharine live in the mountains of North Carolina. Jackson belonged to a "small but inept ballet group led by an elderly Russian woman"; she also served a lengthy time on the substitute teacher circuit.
From earliest childhood, Dot Jackson was aware that her family revered Ben Robertson, one of their cousins who became a war correspondent and worked with Edward R. Murrow. After his last furlough home, he wrote Red Hills and Cotton, a family history of life in the Carolina hills. It became a bestseller when it was published in 1942. Ben died the next year when his plane, bound for London, crashed.
Jackson and her family moved to Charlotte in 1962 and lived there for over twenty years. She worked as a proofreader, copy editor, reporter, and columnist for the Charlotte Observer. She also wrote for the Greenville News and Anderson Independent Mail. Her investigative reporting included murder trials, snake-handling churches, and environmental battles. Jackson's work earned her two Pulitzer Prize nominations and the award for National Conservation Writer of the Year. She also won an Alicia Patterson Fellowship to study the economics of southern Appalachia.
Dot Jackson co-authored, with Frye Gaillard, The Catawba River (1983), illustrated by Don Sturkey and published by Gardner Webb College Press. With Michael Hembree, she co-authored Keowee: The Story of the Keowee River Valley in Upstate South Carolina (1995). She provided commentary in two films by Neal Hutcheson: The Last One, about Popcorn Sutton and his last moonshine run, and The Outlaw Lewis Redmond, featuring the upcountry's most wanted nineteenth-century outlaw. In late 1984, Dot Jackson moved to Pickens County, where her ancestors lived for over 200 years, to work on a project for the Anderson Independent Mail. Her stellar career in journalism, which earned her membership in the North Carolina Journalism Hall of Fame, was followed by the publication of Refuge: A Novel, published in 2006 by the Novello Festival Press of Charlotte. Jackson noted that after years of working for newspapers, writing fiction took a "different set of muscles." This regional tale with a thick local accent uncovers family secrets about Mary Seneca ("Sen") Steele, a determined and independent woman from Charleston who leaves an abusive husband and flees to the Appalachian Mountains. Sen and her two young children, Pet and Hugh, settle into an abandoned family homestead, discover the hardships of rural mountain life, and learn how to grow crops and care for livestock. She discovers strong ties to her paternal kinfolk, especially her cousin Ben Aaron, with whom she falls in love and bears a child.

Watch How Germany used Technology to win the World Cup ! They "SAP appped" everyone Out !
Posted by 9jabook.com on July 14, 2014 at 1:50pm in football Kickoff 9ja
Simple Win! Congratulations to the German National Team
SEE VIDEO HERE
And it's there! A dream has come true. Germany have won their fourth World Cup after 1954, 1974 and 1990, thanks to a 1-0 victory over Argentina at the Maracanã.
National coach Joachim Löw and his team had already become a part of history with their 7-1 win over hosts Brazil in the semi-final. Now, the trophy has crowned their fantastic performances this summer.
Success can never be fully planned; good and bad fortune plays too big a role for that in football. But one can attempt to stem the influence of imponderables as much as possible, with help of good ideas. Every small detail had been thought through in Brazil by the German National Team (DFB), from the choice and architecture of the team base Campo Bahia, to picking the colours of Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro's most popular club, for Germany's away-shirt. And last but not least, the national team has also benefitted from innovative technology developed together with SAP.
This journey started last year when National team general manager Oliver Bierhoff conducted some "market research" inside the locker room. He found that the players were most happy communicating with each other via digital platforms. Since communication was one of the main concerns during the tournament planning stage, Bierhoff commissioned SAP to develop an app that could facilitate the exchange of information about the team's schedule, as well as data about the opponents.
SAP Match Insights helped the German team improve performance
SAP developed an app called SAP Match Insights based on SAP HANA technology that synchronised the data from scouts with the video footage taken from the pitch to make it easy for coaches to identify key moments in the game. Bierhoff liked it so much that he asked SAP to have the solution ready for the World Cup in Brazil.
In only six weeks, SAP Match Insights was developed in a way that allowed coaches, staff and players to make use of the data by themselves. Players and coaches quickly took to working with SAP Match Insights. A touch screen was put up in the players' lounge in the base camp. On top of that, the app was downloaded onto mobile devices.
By using SAP Match Insights and SAP HANA, the German National Team coaches simplified training to improve performance, which makes the 'beautiful game' even more beautiful to fans worldwide.
Bierhoff is already thinking about the next step after the win. "It's my dream that we will one day have a fully connected performance centre that collects all the training data for all players and comes with small lab in which we can develop our own ideas," he said in an interview with Computerwoche.

I recently finished reading The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood and wondered, when if the dreams of conservative women come true, what role I would have in our new society. Honestly speaking, I would probably be disappeared, because The Handmaid's Tale is a white feminist's dystopian tale, but if I did have the "pleasure" of living in the Republic of Gilead, I think I would be a Martha. Do you think you'd be a Martha, too, or would you be a Handmaid, or an Aunt, or even a Jezebel? Take this quiz and discover how you will be oppressed in Gilead's patriarchal Christian totalitarian society. Share your results in the comments, and let us know if you'll join the Mayday resistance (even with the risk of a most certain death if discovered).


Imagine school without computers. Without them, school and learning would be remarkably different. Over the years, computers have really changed school systems. More and more schools are using computers today and it's changing the way students are being taught. Computers improve learning and teaching by making it more beneficial, more efficient and more motivating for not only the students but also the teachers. Computers make a big impact on education today, and without them school would be more difficult than it already is.
To begin with, let's start off at why the computer was originally invented in the first place. The computer was invented to "Perform calculations, store information, retrieve data and process information." (Sanders). The computer is still used for the same reasons today. As opposed to using it for counting the world's population or for finding the distance between two stars like back then, the computer was slowly starting to be used in doctor's offices to store files or in companies to run certain programs and to track their data better and be more organized. The first time the computer was introduced in education was in 1944 in Harvard "1994: First operational computer used at Harvard" (Shogren). Then in 1962 "Airlines begin to use a computerized reservation system." (History). As the years started to go by, more computers were starting to be used, and in one place in particular, schools.

Highlights: Kojo Nnamdi In Conversation With Ta-Nehisi Coates
By Ruth Tam
Kojo Nnamdi (left) and Ta-Nehisi Coates (right) at WAMU's studio. Ruth Tam
Writer Ta-Nehisi Coates is the national correspondent at The Atlantic where he writes about social issues and politics. He was recently awarded a MacArthur grant to further pursue his reporting. Coates sat down with Kojo Nnamdi for an hour to discuss everything from how the death of a college friend transformed his perceptions of justice to why he why he was apathetic in the wake of September 11th. Listen to highlights below and check out the full conversation.
On How History Is Made
"…If you think about it like a water glass –and people are just slowly dropping drops of water into the glass over– and there appears to be no change. And then at some point, the glass tips over. Most of human history is dropping water into the glass. Most of our struggle in the history of this country is just dropping water into the glass. And only a few are actually around to see the glass tip."
On Howard University And The Diversity Of Black Identity
"I had no conception of how diverse the African American experience was –diverse and yet united around one particular thing. It was incredible. … It just made me appreciate my own beauty and really, the beauty of the black experience. And it's hard to do that when you're constantly under the stress of the politics. And you think of yourself strictly in terms of what year was the Voting Rights Bill passed, when did the Emancipation happen, and it's hard to just pause for a second and just look and see this thing that has flowered under all this pressure, this world that we really made. It's such a gorgeous, beautiful world."
Ta-Nehisi Coates On People's Trouble Pronouncing His Name And 'Kojo Nnamdi'
"…It's not that hard. You can pronounce 'Svetlana,' you can get this."
Ta-Nehisi Coates On How He Overcame Apathy After September 11
"The New York Times ran a piece about two years or so later. They ran biographies on a lot of the firefighters who had gone down to the World Trade Center and the conditions by which they ended up losing their lives. And that was the first time, about 2004, 2005, that I really felt something. What I came to: no matter what you feel politically, no matter how much anger you have over what happened to your friends, every life is precious. Life is life. Period. …Even when other folks are doing wrong, you gotta stand in that."
Ta-Nehisi Coates Responds To Criticism That He "Inflames Racism"
Richard from College Park, Md: "I think Mr. Coates has been inflaming racism on both sides and really getting us away from the idea that I grew up with, which was colorblindness…"
Ta-Nehisi: … "Reparations isn't a claim against white people, it's a claim against society –like reparations for Japanese Americans wasn't a claim against people who weren't Japanese Americans, it was a claim against society. … It's not based on skin color, it's based on the injury. … Outlawing discrimination right now –saying people can't discriminate right now– doesn't give you anything for discrimination that happened in the past. And you're alive right now."
