More and more organizations are turning to the cloud to transform their business. Find out about the growing impact of cloud technology in this 2014 Cloud Survey report.
$20+ billion and spanning more than a dozen major industries. Survey responses reveal a significant uptick in cloud usage as compared to their 2012 survey. And cost efficiency is clearly less of a driver today than it was two years ago, as more organizations seek to explore greater cloud potential for business transformation.
Essentially, a new era is unfolding, positioning cloud as a key delivery model for the evolution of IT in business innovation.
According to Forrester Research, the public cloud market is estimated to reach $191 billion by 2020, a significant climb from 2013's total of $58 billion. Forrester asserts that cloud applications will lead this growth, achieving approximately $133 billion in revenue by 2020. Cloud platforms will follow, generating an estimated $44 billion in revenue, and cloud business services will amount to approximately $14 billion in revenue by this time.
centralization to coordinate and manage applications across various devices, which will be increasingly important amid the evolving technology landscape. As cloud continues to prove its potential, business leaders need to evaluate and determine where the greatest strategic opportunities exist for cloud throughout their organization.
Cloud continues to drive disruption in the business world across the globe. In fact, a recent global KPMG survey of nearly 800 technology industry leaders ranked cloud as the technology that will have the greatest impact in driving business transformation for enterprises.
This is quite a difference from KPMG's survey data of two years ago. While cost efficiencies clearly took the top spot (48 percent) in 2012, speed to adoption came in a far second with 28 percent. Having such a large gap between the top two responses emphasizes how cost was a much more powerful driver in 2012 than it is today. Other changes are also evident. Consider that better enabling a mobile workforce was cited as a cloud driver by only 14 percent of executives in 2012 but more than doubled in the 2014 survey, achieving a 42 percent response rate.
Making such changes to an organization are costly and time consuming, but such a large increase in responses signals the tremendous impact, beyond cost reduction, that cloud can have on an organization. These results suggest that for many organizations, cloud has truly become a transformative solution.
Rapid Scale: Enables IT to provision and modify complex infrastructure faster than traditional on premise systems.
Agility: Cloud enables organizations to be more nimble and responsive to changing business needs.
The impact of consumerization, an ongoing trend no business can afford to ignore, is reflected in how organizations are approaching cloud adoptions. The emergence of the digitally savvy customer calls for organizations to embrace new approaches and tools for external communication with customers and prospects.
As such, one of the most important benefits cited by executives (36 percent) in their survey involves the ability to improve alignment and interaction with customers. An example of the importance of this benefit is illustrated by Cancer Treatment Centers of America, which is considering investing in a customer-targeted cloud solution to enable real-time, mobile monitoring of patients. This would also provide for improved communication with patients and their caregivers, even after they leave the medical center.
Retailers also recognize the importance of using cloud to connect with consumers. Compared to other industries, retail executives in KPMG's survey are more likely to say their organizations are using cloud to improve alignment and interaction with customers, suppliers and business partners (see data at left). To maximize holiday revenue, for example, it is critical for retailers to turn to cloud solutions to attract and support mobile shoppers. Consider that Shop.org expects sales in November and December 2014 to grow between 8 and 11 percent over last holiday season – to as much as $105 billion4.
providing personalized and instantaneous service is the new requirement for success. Retailers that aren't able to respond to the expectations of empowered consumers will see them jumping ship, as they tap into online pricing and product information and seize the best deals elsewhere.
Clearly, consumerization is not only an external matter. "People's expectations as employees are a lot different than they were ten years ago," says Mark Shank, Managing Director of the Digital and Mobile practice at KPMG.
Employees today demand the same access, experience and richness on their work computers and mobile devices as they have on their personal devices. Cloud is making that possible. Consider that employees are able to access systems through the cloud from wherever they are, without being limited by the processing power of a mobile device. This enables businesses to devise new work strategies. As such, organizations are turning to cloud to enable a more flexible and mobile workforce.
The impact? Increased employee productivity (54%) and higher employee satisfaction and flexibility (48%) are the top two benefits KPMG's survey respondents identify from using cloud to improve workforce mobility. NetApp, a network data storage and management solutions company, takes advantage of cloud-based offerings to help its employees support customers more securely, conveniently and efficiently.
Another example includes KPMG's digital and mobile practice, which was acquired from Cynergy in early 2014. This team is leveraging cloud-enabled mobile applications to help clients revamp the employee onboarding process, creating an improved mobile digital experience and adding a human touch to hiring. Onboarding isn't just about processing paperwork. It's about engaging new talent from day one, taking into consideration the needs of the people involved in the process: new employees, hiring managers and HR professionals. This customizable solution will not only break down silos between different business roles but also enable effective communication, keeping the new hires' needs foremost in mind and revolutionizing the way we think about the onboarding process.
"From day one, this really drives increased productivity, user satisfaction and longer term retention," says KPMG's Wright.
Business analytics is at the center of today's leading enterprise, informing strategic decisions that enable organizations to compete. And business analytics – a driver of cloud use in 35 percent of companies – can be greatly enhanced by cloud technology.
Why? Cloud enables greater levels of data access and makes it easier to share data between IT systems and collaborate across the business. Additionally, because cloud data storage capacity is usually comparatively affordable, organizations can maintain and analyze massive amounts of data. As a result, progressive companies across industries are finding they can drive more robust data analytics with the support of cloud technology.
Healthcare providers like CTCA, for example, can use the cloud as a powerful tool for clinical research, enabling medical professionals to access information about treatment options that may not be available internally.
In the telecommunications industry, AT&T is looking at ways to leverage its internal data repositories alongside external customer data on the cloud, which would enable it to analyze network capabilities, utilization and customer demographics and offer more relevant products and services. At the same time, the company is moving to provide its customers a cloud infrastructure for storing and analyzing their own data, enhancing the customer experience.
Finally, Emerson, a climate system manufacturing company, uses cloud-enabled big data insights to offer especially innovative and cost-saving heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration products to its supermarket customers.
According to KPMG's survey respondents, executives feel implementing the cloud has helped them improve business performance (73 percent), improve levels of service automation (72 percent), reduce costs (70 percent), rapidly deploy new solutions (67 percent), and achieve other important business objectives. And in many areas, organizations today are more successful in meeting their goals from cloud usage than when last surveyed in 2012.
It is easy to see why. With the rise of costly cyber-attacks, as well as the increased scrutiny by regulators and stakeholders into corporate information protection practices, data security is a burning business issue across all areas of an organization, and cloud is no exception.
But although many organizations have grown in sophistication when it comes to cloud deployment and usage, challenges remain. Many businesses that have moved on from the launch and getting started phase are now dealing with day-today concerns around cloud implementation. According to 53 percent of KPMG's survey respondents, data loss and privacy risks are the most significant challenges of doing business in the cloud, followed by intellectual property theft, which was cited as challenging or extremely challenging by 50 percent.
At the same time, when it comes to selecting a cloud solution, cost has been eclipsed by other factors – namely, security and data privacy. Organizations are increasingly expecting cloud providers to show capabilities to fully protect information assets in a cloud environment. In fact, comparing 2014 results with the answers from KPMG's 2012 survey, security and data privacy have become greater concerns than cost efficiency.
It is easy to see why. With the rise of costly cyber-attacks, as well as the increased scrutiny by regulators and stakeholders into corporate information protection practices, data security is a burning business issue across all areas of an organization, and cloud is no exception. But organizations cannot rely solely on cloud providers to guarantee data security. Cloud adopters need to understand the different security risks of different cloud offerings and take steps internally to mitigate them. At the application level, for example, an organization must ensure the application's data is secure before moving it to the public cloud. From insecure passwords to insecure credentials, Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings also bring challenges. And at the Infrastructure as a Service (Iaas) level, any issues in the underlying operating system can spell big trouble.
The good news is that while respondents acknowledge continued security concerns, results show a substantial decline from 2012, when 78 percent of executives named intellectual property theft a challenge, and 83 percent named data loss and privacy risk a challenge. This suggests that over time, security has become less of a challenge and cloud adopters may feel they're better prepared now to secure their data, as well as manage data breaches when they do occur.
As cloud adoption picks up pace, cloud is poised not only to grow in scale, but will also increasingly impact more and more areas of the business. And, as the data and interviews included in this report show, cloud adoptions are becoming more user-driven and focused on innovation. They do not only result in cost savings, but they can help organizations increase workforce flexibility, improve customer service, and enhance data analytics. In other words, cloud should be considered a key enabler of the corporate strategy, driving strategic business transformations of all kinds.
Cloud is no longer just the focus of the IT department. It has become a top-level discussion that involves the entire management team and the board in order to make strategic decisions that drive transformation and enable innovation. It's clear that organizations that embrace cloud as a management topic – beyond IT – will seize much greater potential from all that cloud has to offer.
Here are five tips to help companies elevate the success levels of their cloud transformations – and elevate above the competition.
Make cloud transformation a continuous process. To realize true long-term business benefits from cloud, cloud adoption should not be viewed as another technology implementation project, but rather a transformative journey spanning from strategy through execution.
the transformation. Rather, organizations should seek to manage cloud transformation projects centrally, with a senior-level team that oversees the transformation process and guides strategic decisions.
Focus on strong leadership and engagement. Cultural alignment through all levels of the organization is essential to managing the change associated with cloud transformation. Executive management should work to establish an aligned corporate culture at the outset, focusing first on getting the buy-in and support of cross-functional business leaders.
Avoid silos. Cloud transformations succeed when organizations are able to embed change into every aspect of the business. As such, silos hamper transformation. In contrast, collaboration powers it. For example, business and IT professionals should work side by side as cloud is adopted into the enterprise.
Measure success. Organizations should develop realistic and measurable outcomes for their cloud transformation projects that tie back to key business objectives. A value- and metrics-driven approach to cloud transformation enables the organization to know when milestones are reached and stay focused on achieving strategic goals.

GM crops found beyond the farm !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 9
Shankar of our group has been harping on the need for regulation, regulation and regulation. Regularly :-)
Now read this news about how genetically modified canola escaped out into the world !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The threat is for real.
It is believed that there are about 100 universitites working on GM algae besides Craig Venter and ExxonMobile.
Hope this news brings about some sensible regulation.
One of the concerns about working with genetically modified crops has been that vegetation growing in agricultural fields might escape out into the world. Now, for the first time in the U.S., researchers report a large population of GM crops beyond the farm.
Transgenic canola plants in North Dakota had received genes making them resistant to herbicides, such as the weed killer Roundup.
Researchers collected and tested 406 canola plants along thousands of miles of state roads. They found 347 carrying at least one resistance gene. There were also indications that the inserted genes were being passed on to new generations, producing some plants in the wild with multiple transgenes.
The findings were presented on August 6th at the annual meeting of the Ecological Society of America in Pittsburgh. [Meredith Schafer et al., University of Arkansas]
The transgenic canola plants are not about to take over the world. But researchers are obviously curious about how these particular plants managed to make it in places like the edges of parking lots rather than pampered fields.
Any answers they find will likely affect future biotechnology regulation.

It should be possible to develop high yielding strains of algae without genetic engineering. Division of a pond into, say, ten parallel tracks and use of the best strain to seed the whole pond should enable rapid improvement, as well as strains that are resistant to contamination and do not have the risks inherent in genetic engineering. James Lovelock's book Gaia presents the thought experiment of a genetically engineered algae strain that multiplies dangerously in the wild. Although this may be unlikely, it suggests that algae production on large scale is best developed through invention of production methods using plant husbandry of natural algae, rather than engineering of high yielding strains.

I too stand by what RobertTulip says..
Based on many experts opinion, it will be very very difficult to control the GMO's
Many algae researchers also feel that native strains of algae which have high doubling rate with atleast 15-20% oil can do wonders!
The questions are how did the genetically modified canola escape the farm ? What precautions were taken?
What failed?
What needs to be done in the future ?
What needs to be done in the case of algae is the last of the questions.

Researchers in the US have found new evidence that genetically modified crop plants can survive and thrive in the wild, possibly for decades.
A University of Arkansas team surveyed countryside in North Dakota for canola. Transgenes were present in 80% of the wild canola plants they found.
They suggest GM traits may help the plants survive weedkillers in the wild.
The findings were presented at the annual meeting of the Ecological Society of America in Pittsburgh.

Over time, the build-up of different types of herbicide resistance in feral canola and closely related weeds could make it more difficult to manage these plants?
End Quote Professor Alison Snow Ohio State University
"We just drew 11 lines that crossed the state [of North Dakota] - highways and other roads," related research team leader Cindy Sagers.
"We drove along them, we made 604 stops in a total distance of over 3,000 miles (5,000km). We found canola in 46% of the locations; and 80% of them contained at least one transgene."
In some places, the plants were packed as closely together as they are in farmers' fields.
"We found herbicide resistant canola in roadsides, waste places, ball parks, grocery stores, gas stations and cemeteries," they related in their Ecological Society presentation.
The majority of canola grown in North Dakota has been genetically modified to make it resistant to proprietary herbicides, with Monsanto's RoundUp Ready and Bayer's LibertyLink the favoured varieties. These accounted for most of the plants found in the wild.
Two of the plants analysed contained both transgenes, indicating that they had cross-pollinated.
This is thought to be the first time that communities of GM plants have been identified growing in the wild in the US.
Similar findings have been made in Canada, while in Japan, a study in 2008 found substantial amounts of transgenic rape - a close relative of canola - around port areas where GM varieties had been imported.
What surprised the Arkansas team was how ubiquitous the GM varieties were in the wild.
"We found the highest densities of plants near agricultural fields and along major freeways," Professor Sagers told BBC News.
"But we were also finding plants in the middle of nowhere - and there's a lot of nowhere in North Dakota."
Canola seeds The GM seeds seem to be competitive, allowing a plant community to survive
Canola seeds are especially prone to dispersal, through blowing in the wind or through falling from trucks, as the seeds weigh just a few thousandths of a gram.
Professor Alison Snow, an authority on gene flow from Ohio State University who was not involved in the research, said that authorities had anticipated the existence of GM "volunteers" - plants growing in the wild outside fields - but did not consider it a problem.
"Regulatory agencies in the US have acknowledged that volunteer populations of GM, herbicide-resistant canola are expected to occur, as well as populations of inter-specific hybrids," she told BBC News.
"Over time, however, the build-up of different types of herbicide resistance in feral canola and closely related weeds, like field mustard, could make it more difficult to manage these plants using herbicides."
US policy is not to place a GM crop under any special regulatory regime unless there is a demonstrable difference between it and its conventional equivalent. The varieties in use here were deregulated in 1988 and 1989.
This is very different from the regime that has existed for a decade in the European Union.
But the European Commission recently recommended that nations should now be allowed to make their own decisions on whether to allow the crops or not, once they have passed health and environmental impact assessments at EU level.
Authorisations at EU level have been issued for GM potatoes, sugar beet, soya bean, oilseed rape, cotton and maize products.

Missouri is home of Monsanto, where agent orange was born. I live in a predominantly rural area and I know quite a few farmers. Monsanto has bought out most of the seed companies in the mid-west and they fully intend to make sure everyone is using their product; GM seeds. There is a catch: you cannot replant seeds from your crop. You must buy new seed each year. It seems that goons in suits are out checking for violators. If you are caught replanting seeds they can take your farm away for patent infringement. This is not an urban legend. A major corporation has cornered the seed market. How soon before algae is patented? So when it spreads like canola, (my guess is the little birdies are pooping seed everywhere) anyone found with genetically altered algae in the old reactor is going to lose everything. When it comes to corporations and profit don't get between mama bear and her cub. The "dangers" and ethical considerations are irrelevant. It's all about the buck. The cat is out of the bag. Stopping abuse of GM was a possibility before, but it is history now. By the time any meaningful controls can be enforced it will be a matter of asking forgiveness, not permission.

It is a deep level of healing which helps take the brain back to its normal or pre-addicted condition.
How does Holistic Sanctuary cure and heal their patients? First thing is don't conduct a group session, they don't provide talk therapy, and don't give patient toxic drugs. They don't believe these outdated and ineffective model techniques works. Science shows them they don't work, so they have made and upgraded old scientific based method and innovative technique to make the first reliable system which works.
The Pouyan Method takes account of proprietary five to seven hours of powerful IV drip that contained patented Brain Repair formula. This formula targets and fix repair specific parts of the brain. This formula is ideal for those looking for effective treatment for PTSD, depression, addiction, alcoholism, and trauma. What is more, the Holistic Sanctuary combines ancient plant medicine into their system, and they have plant treatment down to a science.
The Holistic Sanctuary isn't a one-size-fits-all seven-day detox clinic or typical treatment center, and they aren't in competition with other treatment centers available out there.
The Holistic Sanctuary is also planning to open three more location in the next 18 months; this is due to high demand in this kind of treatment. They are also planning to expand their Beverly Hills California USA location to serve more people needing effective but very powerful treatment.

Official: Chelsea Agree Deal For Liverpool Target Christian Pulisic
Posted by News | Jan 2, 2019 | Sports | 0 |
Borussia Dortmund have confirmed that the club have agreed a deal to sell Christian Pulisic, who has been linked with Liverpool, to Chelsea with immediate effect, but the Premier League giants have agreed to let the American spend the rest of the season on loan at Westfalenstadion.
There have been growing rumours that Chelsea were trying to sign the United States winger from Dortmund, but the Bundesliga club denied all reports leading into the January window.
But it seems there was a lot of fire behind the smoke and the German club have confirmed that an agreement has been reached with Chelsea to sell the 20-year-old.
Chelsea have agreed to pay a fee of €64m to Dortmund for Pulisic's signature, but the winger will spend the rest of the season on loan at Dortmund.
Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc insists that it makes sense for the club to accept the huge bid from Chelsea given the player has entered the last 18 months of his contract.
He told the club's official website: "It was always Christian's dream to play in the Premier League.
"It certainly has to do with his American background and as a result were unable to extend his contract.
"Against this background, we have decided to accept an extremely lucrative bid from Chelsea, given the low maturity of his contract."
Pulisic will eventually join his Chelsea team-mates next summer but has become the first big transfer of the January window.
The move is a blow to Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, who has long been linked with wanting the winger at Anfield.

You can get free boozy ice cream in MediaCity this weekend
Emily Sergeant - 28th April 2021
One of Manchester's best-loved independent convenience store brands is finally opening up in MediaCity this weekend.
And you can bag yourself some free ice cream to celebrate.
A Few Scoops – which specialises in alcohol infused ice-cream, sorbets and ice-pops – is bringing its showstopping pink tuk tuk, affectionately known as Jolene, to the launch of the highly-anticipated MediaCity General Store this weekend, and will be parked up outside the new venue to serve 100 scoops of ice cream to visitors free of charge.
Jolene will be parked outside MediaCity General City on Saturday 1st May from 12-6pm, with scoops limited to one per person and whilst stocks last.
A Few Scoops
A born and bred Manchester business launched in June 2019, A Few Scoops is the brainchild of Alanna Atkinson who wanted to create a way to blend her love of ice cream with her favourite tipples, and the addition of Jolene set Alanna on her way to serving the ice cream of dreams to the city.
The launch of the MediaCity General Store will mark Jolene's intrepid journey across the city centre and beyond, so keep your eyes peeled for new location announcements.
"When we started A Few Scoops, we knew we didn't want a standard ice cream van," Alanna said.
"We wanted something that was different that made everyone whip out their phones to take a photo [and] we think we've achieved this with Jolene and we're so excited to be at the launch of MediaCity General Store, offering out 100 free scoops for customers to enjoy".
Some of the unique ice cream flavours up for grabs at this weekend's launch include Espresso Martini, Old Fashioned and Pina Colada (vegan).
For sorbets, vegan Peach Bellini and Mojito are both on the menu.
If a tipple doesn't quite take your fancy though, the non-alcoholic options include coke float ice cream, and a cherryade sorbet.

At last, after a few weeks of frustration, I found a new shop and bought one large board which will enable me to finish the shop and a few other projects on the way. Meanwhile, I'll let you have a look at what is ready.
Floor, flowers bouquet preparation table, some crates with a stock of flowers.
Two outside wall curved. Will be painted later.
A new shelves stand. The one I made before is good for books rather than for flowers. It will be painted same as the table and chair.
Some crates with flowers and plants which will stand in front of the shop.
As you can see, there is still a lot of work to do.
I wish you all lovely spring days and blessings.
I'm very excited to let you know that today I've been informed by https://blog.feedspot.com that my blog has been awarded "top 40 dollhouse blog". I've seen the list and feel honored as well as humbled to be included with the best.
I willingly gave up my carpeting. Instead, I'll become a "stonemason". Making paper flowers and cutting styrofoam stones are super time-consuming jobs. I hope the results will justify my slow progress.
Pessah has been a long holiday which will end on next Saturday. With young children on vacation, family and daily visits to my husband in his nursing home, it is almost impossible to work. However, I managed to make a pot of sunflowers, paint the furniture pieces and assemble the chair. Only left to weave the chair's seat.
Also made a "stone wall" from a small piece of styrofoam. This wall is not intended for the flower shop. It will be part of a barbeque scene in which both Alexandra's and Carmen's giveaway gifts will be displayed. I just needed to practice the work.
I wish you all a wonderful weekend and blessings.


Health is most important in life.
The term "health" is important to us, not only because our activities are in the healthcare industry, but also because we believe that productive relationships are synonymous with healthy relationships: with our employees, associates, clients and the society at large.
Since the very beginning of our operations we have incorporated "health principles" into our company business behavior, choosing tested, safe products with proven therapeutic value to offer the community the best possible care at the lowest cost. We listen to the needs of our clients and are by their side supporting them on a daily basis. We rely on our management and personnel and we provide all members of our staff with the possibility to develop their individual creativity in a professional yet human environment, where innovation and initiative are rewarded. We keep current with market trends and our activities are both flexible and focused.
In a few words, we strive for a standard of quality in our daily life for all of us, on a professional, as well as personal level, to reflect health. I am personally much happier to see the smiling faces of satisfied staff around me than the reports of increased sales. However, it seems that one leads to another. This environment attracts the most capable executives in the market who embrace the RAFARM vision and become members of our professional family. And, thanks to this, RAFARM is consistently on a spiraling course. Presently, we are one of the largest Greek pharmaceutical companies, with a strong direct presence and strategic alliances in the international marketplace. Our new factory, built with the most advanced technologies, allows us to serve the needs of different types of customers.
Our goal is that RAFARM will soon strengthen its already important role in the international market, commercially, as well as in the research and development of new drugs. At the same time, our commitment is to remain what we have always been: a pleasant place to work and create.

Q: Gradle fails with 'IllegalArgumentException: already added' on library inclusion I'm trying to include a library in my new, bare bones Android Studio project.
My module's build.gradle contains the following:
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'

Build-and-run fails at the preDexDebug-step with the following stacktrace:

1 error; aborting

Now, I've looked for all the obvious problems which could cause this (multiple library inclusion) but can't seem to find the culprit. The library is included only once, and is the only dependency except for the Android support library.
The errorenous inclusion seems to stem from a transitive dependency within JMRTD. Excluding or including this library (scuba) seems to make no difference.
I've also tried to add the library manually in my libs folder but am having the same issue.
Interestingly, if I exclude the transitive dependency completely like so...
configurations {
    all*.exclude group: 'net.sf.scuba', module: 'scuba-smartcards'
}

... the preDexDebug step fails on a different file (which is natively part of the library and not included from a dependency):
UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: already added: Lorg/jmrtd/BACDeniedException;
    at com.android.dx.dex.file.ClassDefsSection.add(ClassDefsSection.java:122)
    at com.android.dx.dex.file.DexFile.add(DexFile.java:161)

Side note: the files failing are the first files listed if you view the jar contents in alphabetical order, indicating that all class files would fail in the same way.
Is there some sort of internal duplication going on that I'm not aware of? The artifact I'm including seems fine on inspection but could there be an issue with the format of the files fetched from the repo?
Thanks!
Disclaimer: I'm new to Android and Gradle. I've got extensive experience with Maven and Java though.

A: For those who might be having similar issues: This turned out to be caused by a bad ant build for both of the libraries in question (jmrtd + scuba) which included each class file twice. This was hard to detect as some file managers will not list duplicate content of archives.
I eventually confirmed it by running 'tar tf ' to discover the diplicates and fixed it by building the libs myself with the ant jar-task attribute 'duplicate="preserve"'.
In general though, the root cause is the terrible default behaviour of ant to add two of the same file instead of failing/overwriting combined with the pickiness of Gradle when dealing with duplicates.

This conference took place at the Shaw Centre in Ottawa on March 1-2, 2018.
The Conference Board of Canada, an organization focused on building leadership capacity for a better Canada by sharing insight on economic trends, public policy and organizational performance, organize the conference annually. This year the conference was about building cyber security resilience now and for the future.
During the day and a half of conference, participants had the chance to learn a lot and get insights from experts on the different aspect of building a cyber security strategy and how it could or has affected your company.
Our CTO, Nadim Baklouti, was there as a speaker to emphasize that security begins with effective leadership. When developing a cyber security strategy for your organization two issues need to be on top of mind. First, who owns and leads security, and secondly, whose input and expertise do you need to create effective security and sustainable resilience in the long term.
Many organizations focus on "what" to secure and forget about the "how". In his session, Baklouti focused on the complexity of securing the most sensitive and critical part of any organization: the board. What happens when organizations need to secure the boardroom? Is it even possible for the IT guy to secure the C-level? How can organizations make the chairman of the Board comply with any security procedure?
One of the things that attendees heard the most is to make sure to educate as many people as possible within the company. That way most employees are aware and can be on the lookout for any suspicious emails or links and immediately alert the IT department so that action can be taken before a real and threatening breach happens.
Enterprises need to be aware that third parties and supply chains make them vulnerable. The speakers put a lot of emphasis on this point, no company is 100 % immune from breaches, so you might as well be prepared when/ if the storm hits. Have a plan of action, be prepared and exercise, try to think outside the box and think of the most surreal situations. It's important to have a communication plan ready to make sure you don't overreact or underreact when the event occurs. It's vital to communicate the right information with the right timing as this is key to good crisis management. All in all, this conference shed a light on how important it is to be aware of these threats, know they are real and make sure that you are prepared and ready to face them when they do arrive.
On behalf of the DiliTrust team, we wish to thank the Conference Board of Canada for the quality and the excellent organization of this event. It was an honor for DiliTrust to be a part of this event as a sponsor, highlighting with participants as to why cyber security matters. We would also like to thank all participants and sponsors for their presence and their contribution to the success of this Cyber Security Conference.

In an expertly executed rescue operation final Friday, anti-trafficking officers in the Dominican Republic have freed six young Venezuelan girls from intercourse trafficking and arrested two suspects who allegedly abused and exploited them. Police rescued two Venezuelan girls from a home in Cunupia on Friday evening. Girls migrants are sometimes sexualised primarily based on cultural stereotypes that have no logical basis," said Marina Navarro, president of Amnesty Worldwide in Peru, one other main destination nation for Venezuelans, the place harder guidelines have pressured immigrants underground.
On this problem of labor, the refugees and migrants WRC spoke with recognized entry to jobs as the most important factor in making certain their protection. At the same time, it's a fixed venezuelan women dating supply of danger for many. These risks run the gamut from sexual harassment within the work place, to abuses referring to their pay, to rising resentment from local those that Venezuelans are undercutting salaries and taking their jobs.
Moreover, Venezuelan authorities ought to undertake insurance policies associated to the prevention and therapy of COVID-19 with gender perspective, contemplating the intersection al approach and the different contexts through which may girls dwell in Venezuela, including conditions of poverty. Many thousands have fled Venezuela, looking venezuelan girl for a better life Venezuela does not publicly flow into emigration data, however estimates counsel that between seven-hundred,000 and two million Venezuelans have emigrated since 1999. That leaves the majority of Venezuela's 31 million people in nation, both by alternative or by necessity.
MSF is looking for a better commitment from the worldwide group to deal with this humanitarian disaster. We are facing an exodus of greater than 4.7 million individuals from Venezuela , around one-third of whom have settled in Colombia, a rustic that does not have the resources to cope correctly. It is pressing to cease minimising the struggling of Venezuelan migrants and asylum seekers, and to supply larger financing without circumstances to support a stable and coherent response to this case.
Venezuelan girls condemn how US empire has overtly been the primary driver of the hybrid battle in opposition to the Venezuelan folks. Since 2014, the US has utilized over 150 UCMs that not solely have an effect on the sexual and reproductive rights of women, additionally they have made it tough, and at occasions not possible, to entry meals, medicine, medical care, clean water, hygiene, public transport, electrical energy, and phone and internet services (see U.N. Special Rapporteur Alena Douhan's report). There is no such thing as a doubt that the blockade and sanctions have brought on harm and suffering to the Venezuelan population, and this harm is immeasurable in the case of women and children. The sanctions and blockade haven't solely been maintained during the pandemic, they've expanded.
Now we should work to give a possibility to extra displaced Venezuelan women so they too can in the future lead. We are trying to teach Venezuelan ladies about the risks of those procedures before they're 12 years outdated," she stated. We've to get to them early, as dad and mom have a tendency to offer these injections as 15th birthday presents". Peru has determined to offer job visas to Venezuelans that show up in the country. You possibly can easily find Venezuelan Females them throughout the urban space.
An Introduction To Effortless Venezuela Women Programs
News On Trouble-Free Products Of Women Of Venezuela
In response to the continued humanitarian disaster, and the political and financial instability within the nation, approximately 5.three million refugees and migrants have left Venezuela. Among the victims of this crisis, there's one group in society that has been disproportionately affected by the ever-changing situation and by the difficult resolution to migrate—Venezuelan women.
Nationwide health methods should follow a needs-driven agenda that's responsive not only to the wants of the overall inhabitants but also of this migrant Venezuelan inhabitants. Adequately coordinated efforts that include governmental, academia, non-governmental and international organisations represent a crucial step to reply in a well timed and acceptable method to contribute to better access and repair provision for this migrant inhabitants within the Brazilian National Well being System.
CARE and companions work in Colombia to carry humanitarian help to Venezuelan migrants and host communities in Nariño, Santander, and Norte de Santander areas. Focussing on serving to migrant ladies and host communities, preventing gender-primarily how to talk to a venezuelan woman based violence providing entry to reproductive health companies, legal and psychosocial advise and empowering women in border areas to unravel conflicts and lead dialogue in their communities.
That historical past figured in Duque's decision, introduced Feb. eight, to present Venezuelans formal go away to stay in Colombia. What Duque calls short-term protected standing (TPS) allows a migrant to reside as native, with an ID card, well being protection and social security for at least 10 years. As a gesture, it is at least as beneficiant as Angela Merkel's 2015 choice to welcome 1 million migrants into Germany, although Colombia, with an economy one-tenth the dimensions, is taking in twice as many individuals, and maybe many extra. We could see 10 million individuals out of that nation inside two or three years" if Maduro remains in power, Duque says.
She is saving money for a Venezuelan passport. Officially, a passport prices between $80-$100 from abroad, however several immigrants told TNH that bribes of an additional $200-$300 are required to ensure venezuelan girls it truly arrives. Moreover, since Venezuela and Colombia not have diplomatic ties, immigrants should return dwelling or journey to a third country to use.

Let it be known that The Retro Set Earl Christy. And Rolf Armstrong. And McClelland Barclay. And R Wilson Hammell. And Charles Edward Chambers. And Marland Stone. And Charles Gates Sheldon. And all of the other American artists from the early 20th century that made up the advertising industry's great, golden age of illustration. Not only because of what they did for women's journals and literary magazines but, of course, for the exquisite works of art created for American movie fan magazines.
Classic movie fans are no doubt already familiar with the names: Photoplay, Modern Screen, Picturegoer, Screenland, PhotoBook, et al. Working largely from celebrity photographs, and in mediums such as oil and pastel, the work of the illustrator was largely functional and not always, shall one call it, artistic (hey, they had a hell of a workload, OK? We're talking pastel and oil, not Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator). But when they were able to push the creative envelope? The results were downright breathtaking.
And the movie fan magazine's cover art, too, is a fascinating documentation of the progressing ideas, conventions, and attitudes of American society.
Of course the likes of Norman Rockwell are venerated these days for their work, but we feel it important to doff our cap to the illustrators of the great American movie magazines of yesteryear.


For Ask Ars, we typically respond to a reader question about some certain tech quandary, but this time around we've got one thing specific. Yet another very helpful web site when building a Pc is Right here you will come across forums, discussions, reviews, and every little thing else you can envision that would be valuable when zeroing in on that fantastic CPU for your gaming rig. Motherboard: The motherboard is the base of your computer system — the laptop that anything else is connected to. The motherboard is mounted and screwed into location on the case and the power provide is connected to it. The energy button on the case is connected to the motherboard so the pc can power up when you press the button on its case.
Difficult Disk: You will require a hard disk — ideally a solid-state drive for maximum speed — in your laptop to set up an operating technique and boot from it. The really hard disk is commonly screwed into the acceptable spot in the case or inserted into a drive bay. If you're coming from a mid-tower case to a case like this 1, then you will notice proper away just how a great deal a lot easier it is to handle all of your cables.
For these of you unfamiliar with Kano, here's a little refresher: The enterprise, started by Alex Klein, Yonatan Raz-Fridman and Saul Klein, makes kits that give little ones (and adults) elements to develop their personal laptop or computer. You need to have someplace to receive laptop or computer components , like the companies who advertise on this web site or your regional computer shop. If your CPU goes haywire throughout the 4th year, then you can upgrade it or replace it rather than having to replace the entire personal computer.
When you invest in a Computer it currently has an operating program on it. Having said that, when you construct a Computer you have to pick which OS you want to use for your rig. Hopefully I've offered you a handful of great choices to assume about when it comes to a complete-tower computer case. Case and Energy Supply: You are going to need a box to place your laptop or computer elements in — that's the case. If the pc that is getting difficulties was the one that you built (or tried to) then I will support. The main point becoming, of course, that they do all of this on a computer system they built themselves.
In the finish, you can't build an up-to-date pc from bought components less expensively than getting a new complete personal computer. And when you happen to be performed constructing your Pc and effectively energy it up, it feels glorious—like you have really achieved anything, rather than just yanking a prebuilt tower out of a box. Most of the other computer system construct guides ignore it, or just say 'connect all the wires properly'.

Q: Applying a voltage to a homogeneous semiconductor Imagine that there is a homogeneous semiconductor (either a p-type or an n-type, but just one of them) uniformly doped. There is no diffusion current because of the uniform dopage, and there is no drift current because there is no electric field, as the charge is the same everywhere.
But what would happen if I applied a voltage to it? There would be an electric field across the semiconductor, so I guess that there would be a drift current. However, this would lead to carriers moving to one side of the semiconductor, and so there would be now a difference in concentration that would lead to difussion current. However, this doesn't sound right to me. What would actually happen?

A: Your scenario assumes that you are not able to inject/extract electrons into your semiconductor at wherever the contacts exist. In other words, you have infinite contact resistance, and in that case, yes, electrons and holes would build up on opposite sides. All voltage drop would occur at these charge buildup regions at the edges of the semiconductor, and the Fermi level is flat in between. It's the same as a metal floating in an electric field but not contacted; the charges move to cancel out the electric field on the inside.
In the opposite extreme, if the contacts are perfect, all the voltage drop will occur in the semiconductor. You'd have a linear sloped Fermi level, and bands parallel to that. There would be a drift, but not diffusion, current.
The stuff about photoconductivity above is extraneous.

A: A chunk of semiconductor would have some resistivity, and at low field it's just another resistor.  If the field is high enough, the charge carriers will avalanche, though, and the resistivity will go WAY down until/unless the
field drops (and there will be a delay while the free charges return to
equilibrium).
The resistivity will also go down if you illuminate the semiconductor (i.e.
it is photoconductive).  Again, the resistivity doesn't return to its dark
value immediately.
Photoconductors and some kinds of breakover devices (MOVs yes, diacs no)
and many strain gages are just electrodes and a uniformly doped semiconductor.
The semiconductor's (low-current) resistivity temperature coefficient is
negative (higher temperature causes resistance to drop), which is the opposite of resistivity temperature coefficient of a metal.

A: Most of possible scenarios and associated behaviors have already been covered in other answers and comments. Still, some clarification could potentially be useful.
What happens depends on the level of doping.
If the level of doping is high, the contacts between the semiconductor and the external circuit (presumably involving metal wires) will be ohmic and the applied voltage will cause a current to flow. This would be a drift current, i.e., a current due to the applied electric field.
In this case, the semiconductor will behave as a small resistor with a little twist: due to the Peltier effect, one of the contacts will be cooled and the other heated.
If the level of doping is low, the contacts will be rectifying (Schottky contacts) and, since one of them will always be reverse biased, there won't be much of a current flow. All the applied voltage will drop across the contact that happens to be reverse biased. From the outside it'll look just as a capacitor with a small leakage.
After the initial current, charging the capacitance of the reverse biased contact, there won't be any measurable voltage drop or electric field across the bulk of the semiconductor and there won't be a gradient of charges and associated diffusion and drift currents.
The scenario you are describing, when the electrons get redistributed across the bulk of the semiconductor, could occur if we apply an external electrostatic field without making electrical contacts with the semiconductor (the second case outlined by Jon Custer).
In this scenario, the electrons will redistribute themselves to equalize the potential across the semiconductor and we can say that there would be a dynamic equilibrium between the diffusion and drift currents with the net current of zero.

A: Consider following semiconductor bar with applied external voltage source. The main factor of current is drift current.
In order to consider diffusion current you should have gradient of minority carriers. However, in this situation the charge enter to unit volume is equal to the charge leave to unit volume since there is no charge build up in semiconductor bar and  the bar is uniformly doped.


In accordance with the National Curriculum, children in Year 3 and Year 4 participate in a ten week swimming programme at Westcroft Leisure Centre.
Lessons are designed to promote water safety, competence in the water and stroke technique. Children are also given the opportunity to represent Barrow Hedges at the Primary School Swimming Gala.
How many pupils within your Y6 cohort can swim competently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres?
How many pupils within your cohort can use a range of strokes effectively?
How many pupils within your Y6 cohort can perform a safe self-rescue in different water-based situations?
In addition, we offer a 'top up' to selected Year 4 children who would benefit from extra swimming lessons to develop their strokes, competence and confidence in the water. We have also been able to FREE swimming passes to children (Y3, 4 and 6) who, from data collection and assessments, do not meet the minimum 25m National Curriculum expectation.

Opis wydarzeń
W prologu do opery dyskutują ze sobą Fortuna i Cnota, przechwalając się między sobą. Do ich rozmowy wtrąca się Amor, chcąc pokazać, że to on właśnie rządzi światem, i zakłada się z wcześniej dysputującymi, że uda mu się swoje twierdzenie udowodnić.
Pod działaniem Amora Neron zakochuje się w ukochanej Ottona, Poppei, co nie zadowala cesarzowej Oktawii, stąd też cesarz ma zamiar ją oddalić. Poppea natomiast, widząc, że władca staje się jej zalotnikiem, tym bardziej go uwodzi, będąc łasą na jego zaszczyty i godności. Otton chce zachować swą oblubienicę przy sobie, jednak żaden jego wysiłek nie okazał się skuteczny. Dotychczasowa cesarzowa zostaje wygnana, co likwiduje główną przeszkodę do uznania Poppei za cesarską małżonkę. W drogę Neronowi chce jeszcze wejść mędrzec Seneka, uznający zachowanie władcy za niemoralne; poucza on monarchę, jednak — wobec bezskuteczności swych poczynań — popełnia samobójstwo.
W Ottonie zakochała się natomiast Drusilla — ten, mając nową adoratorkę, chce zabić dawną ukochaną, przebierając się za tę pierwszą. Próba morderstwa, przez działanie Amora, okazuje się nieudana, a oskarżoną za nią staje się niewinna Drusilla. Cesarz okazuje jej łaskę i nie skazuje na śmierć, lecz każe zastosować wobec niej tortury, a następnie wygnać razem z Ottonem. Dzięki temu może w końcu koronować Poppeę na cesarzową. Senat rzymski składa nowej władczyni hołd, Amor tryumfuje, zaś Neron z Poppeą oddają sobie pocałunek.

Wersje opery
Istnieją dwie główne wersje opery, różniące się niewielkimi, acz zauważalnymi szczegółami: wenecka, pt. L'incoronazione di Poppea, oraz neapolitańska, pt. Il Nerone ossia L'incoronazione di Poppea. Ponadto najprawdopodobniej finałowy duet Pur ti miro jest dziełem innego kompozytora, którym zapewne był Benedetto Ferrari – duet ten występuje również w jego operze Il pastore regio.

Znaczenie
Koronacja Poppei uznawana jest za szczytowe osiągnięcie Monteverdiego, sędziwego już w czasie jej tworzenia i uznawanego za wielkiego kompozytora; nie dla pieniędzy ani dla sławy, lecz by okazać swój muzyczny kunszt wypracowany przez całe życie. Libretto natomiast uznawane jest za rewolucyjne, gdyż wywyższa niegodziwe czyny Nerona i pochwala miłość, która prowadzi do wielu niegodziwości. Sztuka nie kończy się schematycznie zwycięstwem sprawiedliwych nad nieuczciwymi, lecz odwrotnie, realistycznie ukazując świat bez upiększeń.

Without warning, the overwhelming cacophony of Kuala Lumpur had commenced. Hawkers beckoned as passengers pushed and plowed their way through the antsy crowd. Moments earlier I had waited in a building I'd liken to my high school gymnasium as a family of Shi'ite Muslims had their passports checked by immigration. How their covered faces matched a passport photo I will never know. A moderate Muslim country, the room was an eclectic mix of Hindus, Muslims and Buddhists. It was eerily quiet. Seconds later, an unrelenting chorus of clutter bombarded my senses, ushering me forward and welcoming me to Asia.
HEAT! It's the first thing I noticed exiting the plane in Malaysia. The dense, humid air like a fortress-field coated my face with a permanent glossy sheen. The faint smell of BO remained a constant presence and I roamed around in a damp dace. Ferocious aircon trains shocked my body awake and left it perplexed as I shivered my way back outside. Drops of sweat slid down hills of goosebumps as my inner ice cube melted into the gutter of KL's frenzied streets.
The one thing you can count on in KL besides a 7-11 on every corner is the juice cart. Fresh fruit, simple syrup, ice, and the occasional gelatinous bubbles are the ingredients for pure magic on a hot, muggy morning. In a puritanical country like Malaysia, it's juice for happy hour and juice with dinner.
Yet, walk I did and, in doing so, I was able to witness the complex social order of this equatorial city that straddles several racial and ethnic divides with remarkable ease. Although they generally keep to their own circles in social interactions, the Chinese, Indians, and ruling Malay peacefully co-exist. I was told by a Chinese friend that slight prejudices exist (particularly between the Chinese and Indians), but all in all, this country is a complete rarity in this part of the world.
Barely 150 years old, Kuala Lumpur sprang from the Malay Peninsula like a magic bean sprout. Chinese shops sit below towering mosques and Hindu temples which all hide in the shadows of modern marvels. Petronas Towers (the world's tallest building until 2004) burst skyward as KL races towards the future. This burgeoning city makes its ambitions blaringly clear on all of its literature. Kuala Lumpur, "seeks to become a World Class City" as Malaysia inches closer towards a "developed nation." A modern train and monorail system link the city's sprawling quadrants and free WIFI is never far away. In many ways, it is the business center of Southeast Asia with English posted on most public signs and used in both business and casual conversation. All educated Malaysians speak at least something resembling my mother tongue. In short, Kuala Lumpur is a soft landing in the region and a sturdy Launchpad for further exploration.
Yet, the full-on power of KL's streets are sure to shock and delight even the most jaded traveler. Take a country of over 1.5 million people and put its citizens out of their homes and into the street. Throw in some competing boom boxes, wafting fishy smells, honking, hell-bent motorbikes and blaring lights and you've got downtown KL.
The sun shines in a cloudy sort of smirk and rain pounds in a sinister fury, but the streets of KL steam with food nonetheless. You hear about the night markets in Asia, but nothing can quite prepare you for their brazen charm. Hawkers point and push, tell you to eat instead of ask, and always have something "special for you today!" Just when you find your diamond in the rough, you lose it to the labyrinth of carts and makeshift tables.
Not for the picky or faint of heart, street food can be a comical mystery of colors and shapes. Have you ever been in a restaurant when a group of foreign tourists came in, took pictures of the food, pointed at it, and gawked quizzically at a dish you had eaten since you had baby teeth? Next time you do, don't laugh. This is me in Asia.
Although I cannot begin to describe the street dishes I consumed, most were thoroughly satisfying. That said, my first experience with Banana Leaf Curry set off a string of embarrassing events. On my first day in Malaysia, I went to the planetarium. Why? Because, it was dirt cheap and promised a full thirty minutes of air conditioning. Five minutes into the show my stomach began rumbling and twisting in knots. Ten minutes in, I excused myself and shuffled past a row of twenty head-scarfed schoolgirls in the starry darkness.
In stall #1 and stall #2 I found only squat toilets. This event was not about to take place in a hole in the floor so, to my relief, I settled into stall #3 which contained a familiar piece of porcelain. I knew diarrhea was inevitable in a trip to Southeast Asia, but I hadn't expected it so soon. Nonetheless, I took care of business while simultaneously noticing the lack of a toilet paper dispenser. In its place sat a thin wirey hose. Welcome to Asia, I thought!
