Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay, India to British parents on December 30, 1865. In 1871, Rudyard and his sister, Trix, aged three, were left to be cared for by a couple in Southsea, England. Five years passed before he saw his parents again. His sense of desertion and despair were later expressed in his story "Baa Baa, Black Sheep" (1888), in his novel The Light that failed (1890), and his autobiography, Something of Myself (1937). As late as 1935 Kipling still spoke bitterly of the "House of Desolation" at Southsea: "I should like to burn it down and plough... Read More

From the Times Of India
Jobs in Detroit's car factories are moving to India.
Chidanand Rajghatta
Can 'bindaas' or 'jhakaas' survive transliteration?
Shobhaa De
India's first superstar died almost a lonely life.
Robin Roy
Incredible, but not inclusive India
Physically challenged tourists have no option but fly to their destinations and stay at expensive resorts. Trains and small hotels simply do not bother with making facilities accessible.
When Anjlee Agarwal and her friends decided to travel from Delhi to Shimla and Manali in the late 1990s, their aim wasn't just to explore the country. They wanted to prove that they could travel independently. Instead, the small group of people, all of whom had from various physical disabilities, found that small things like using the washroom on a six-hour road trip or accessing hotel rooms became big obstacles.
The experience motivated Agarwal, now 42, to co-found Samarthyam, National Centre for Accessible Environments, to promote accessibility awareness and work with planning bodies to make tourism and transportation accessible to all. Samarthyam has since advised the architects of Dilli Haat so that the complex could be made accessible for the disabled. Samarthyam also played an advisory role in the planning process of the Delhi Metro.
Long-distance travel, however, still remains a problem. Indian Railways provides concessions for disabled travellers, and there is a "Handicapped Coach" in every train. But this actually means very little. In a blog entry describing her journey on the Karnataka Express in February this year, Shivani Gupta, 42, a wheelchair-bound traveller describes how inaccessible the bathrooms were, how dangerous it was to attempt getting on or off the train, and how she could barely leave her berth during the two-day journey. "There is no way I can make a train journey ever again, " she concludes.
Others agree that travellers with disabilities are better off flying to their destinations though that too is fraught with problems. Mithu Alur, the founder of the Spastics Society of India (now known as ADAPT), points out that her daughter Malini who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy in her childhood still cannot travel independently. This is despite the fact that Malini is independent enough to have secured two masters' degrees.
Gupta points out that the policy on how to facilitate travel for disabled fliers varies from one airline to another. Some like SpiceJet refuse to carry non-foldable wheelchairs.
Spurred by her experiences, Gupta founded AccessAbility, a consultancy firm that provides inputs to companies on how to extend their services to those with disabilities. ITC sought their input to make the Park Hotels accessible. Alur recounts an incident where ADAPT ensured that a mall was accessible to customers on wheelchairs. The management consequently saw a rise in revenue from new clients, she adds.
Changes are being made at the legislative level as well. The Ministry of Urban Development's Action Plan for barrier free built environment provides detailed guidelines for making public spaces accessible and supplements the Persons With Disabilities Act, 1995. The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill is pending in the Parliament. In a comparative analysis of seven states carried out by Samarthyam, Agarwal found that building bye-laws take into account only a limited set of physical disabilities, and suggests changes that need to be made to make lifts, pavements and corridors more accessible.
"As a disabled person only the more expensive services are accessible to me such as air travel instead of rail travel, using taxis instead of public transport, five star hotels instead of cheaper guest houses, " Gupta said. "It is as though I am being charged a tax for being disabled. "
Despite some changes, independent travel for the disabled remains a luxury.

Critics Consensus: Ted Is Funny and Crude, Magic Mike Is Certified Fresh
This week at the movies, we've got an uncouth stuffed toy (Ted, starring Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis); striptease artists (Magic Mike, starring Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey); a family secret (People Like Us, starring Chris Pine and Elizabeth Banks); and a defensive granny (Madea's Witness Protection, starring Tyler Perry and Eugene Levy). Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane makes his big screen directorial debut with Ted, and critics say this vulgar, sometimes touching comedy retains the irreverent spirit of his TV work. Magic Mike might look like just another pretty face, but don't be fooled -- critics say this hunky drama/comedy has a heart and a brain too.Back to Article

Cincinnati (AP) -- The county coroner in Cincinnati says an increase in female homicide victims in the city is noteworthy but not necessarily an indication of what the annual total number will be.
Hamilton County Coroner O'dell Owens said Wednesday there have been 16 female homicides so far this year, twice as many as in either of the previous two years.
The FBI counts murders rather than all homicides and says there were 73 murders in Cincinnati in 2008, an increase of 11 from 2007.
Cincinnati is Ohio's third-largest city and also ranks third in murders.
The FBI lists 109 in Columbus and 102 in Cleveland in 2008.

Excellent film and value
This is a great value for your buck. Three films - one black & white, one colorized and an earlier telling of the story under the title of Scrooge (not the musicial). Great acting - best version of all the other retelling of this Dickens classic.

"I remember what she looked like. What she wore. The expression on her face."
Enosh Kelley, owner/chef of Bistro Montage, …isn't describing the first time he saw the love of his life. At least, not the way you think.
He's describing the first moment he realized he wanted to be a chef. At the time, he was working in an Iowa City restaurant while going to business school at the University of Iowa. "One day I bought the ingredients for a dish I'd seen on Great Chefs—Great Cities. I took it all to work and served it as the special,��� Kelley explains.
Seeing a customer enjoy that dish set the course for the rest of Kelley's life. "Watching her eyebrows pop when she took the first bite of that dish, seeing the smile on her face, that was my ���ah-ha' moment," he says.
Shortly after that experience, Kelley dropped out of business school and enrolled in New York's prestigious Culinary Institute of America (called the Harvard of cooking schools by Julia Child). While there, he fell in love with classic French food.
By the fall of 2001, Kelley had graduated from the Culinary Institute and moved back to Iowa. In 2003, when the former owner of Bistro Montage decided to sell, Kelley realized that buying the restaurant was the right move at the right time.
Since becoming the owner and chef of Bistro Montage, Kelley has taken the restaurant to new heights—earning rave reviews from The Wall Street Journal and The Des Moines Register, as well as a Best Chef of the Midwest nomination by the James Beard Institute. Today, he continues to push the envelope with new takes on French classics—always with the goal of delighting his current customers as much as his first. See More

Extracting Minerals from Seawater: An Energy Analysis
Dipartimento di Chimica, Università di Firenze, Polo scientifico di Sesto Fiorentino, 50019 Sesto Fiorentino (Fi), Italy
Received: 10 February 2010 / Revised: 23 March 2010 / Accepted: 29 March 2010 / Published: 9 April 2010

AbstractThe concept of recovering minerals from seawater has been proposed as a way of counteracting the gradual depletion of conventional mineral ores. Seawater contains large amounts of dissolved ions and the four most concentrated metal ones (Na, Mg, Ca, K) are being commercially extracted today. However, all the other metal ions exist at much lower concentrations. This paper reports an estimate of the feasibility of the extraction of these metal ions on the basis of the energy needed. In most cases, the result is that extraction in amounts comparable to the present production from land mines would be impossible because of the very large amount of energy needed. This conclusion holds also for uranium as fuel for the present generation of nuclear fission plants. Nevertheless, in a few cases, mainly lithium, extraction from seawater could provide amounts of metals sufficient for closing the cycle of metal use in the economy, provided that an increased level of recycling can be attained.

East Prussian Infrastructure 1 (NEW!)
Traveling to the country that used to be East Prussia is like traveling in time. Discovering the ruins of the third Reich can only be described as breathtaking. Unfortunately the eagle was soon to get it´s revenge…
Chateau Miranda offers one of the most surprising and interesting tourist attractions of southern Belgium.
Once upon a time, Belgium was covered by coal mines and coking plants. Today, only ruins remain of an industry that employed hundreds of thousands men in the late 1950s.
Having a slight hang-over, I spent the best part of the sunday morning lying in the back seat of our rented car.
Flying into Croatia, the last thing we expected to find was the ruins of Bob Guccione´s Penthouse empire.
Paying a visit to the beautiful Art Deco sanatorium in Dreux, I finally got the chance to reflect on the role of right wing extremism in Western Europe.
Being a kid during the 1960s was a somewhat dualistic experience. The reality that you were experiencing was a mid-sized and peaceful Swedish town, but a new device was showing you pictures from an entirely different world.
The abandoned blast furnace in Lorraine seems the ideal place for writing about the evolution of the modern European steel industry. In a somewhat peculiar way, it has been one of my pet interests for a very long time
Dresden was once known as the "Florence on the Elbe", but all of that ended on the night of February 13th 1945. Arthur "Bomber" Harris had finally decided to send off his 1300 bombers in the direction of Saxony´s capital.
The Third Reich has left a surprisingly small number of spectacular ruins. The most well known and visible one is located on an island that lies just off the East German coast. The strange complex is often given the epithets "the world´s longest building" or "the colossus of Rügen". Dozens of monotonous building blocks stretches along the coast, covering close to five kilometers.
Spreepark is obviously the place for you, if you´re looking for abandoned dinosaurs and Ferris wheels. The park was built by East German bureaucrats, from the Department for Politically Correct Leisure Activities. They managed to construct a truly socialist park, honoring the needs of the working classes in a most satisfactory and efficient way.
Berlin was bombed beyond human comprehension during the last years of the Second World War, and when peace finally came along, the surviving inhabitants had to bring some kind order to the chaos. Naturally, the first priority was to find somewhere to stack the remnants of thousands of magnificent buildings, that had been reduced to a bombed out rubble.
Germany and France
Graffiti was born when technical innovations made during the Second World War was combined to the decay that characterized American inner cities in the 1960s and 1970s. The abandoned buildings and neglected subway trains provided the would-be artists with large and very visible canvases.
Mussolinis Abandoned Cities: Part 1
Benito Mussolini became Italy´s one and only Duce in 1922. Without anyone knowing, it was the run-up to the final chapters of Europe´s most devastating tragedy that was being written. In Germany, Adolf Hitler was impressed and inspired by Mussolini´s fast rise to power, as well as his special breed of socialism, anti-communism and nationalism.
Mussolinis Abandoned Cities: Part 2
We´re continuing our journey into the forgotten remnants of Italy´s fascist dreams. Furthermore, this gallery gave me a possibility to gain new insights into the surprising connections that exists between Italy and Albania.
Penetrating the hills of Sicily, you just might stumble upon a beautiful and empty baroque town. Poggioreale´s citizens left in the afternoon of the 14th of January 1968, and they would never return.
Latvia was the westernmost part of the Soviet Union, which gave it a critical strategic importance. Hence, the first of our latvian galleries includes some remarkable pictures several from abandoned Soviet bases and surveillance stations.
Approaching Ignalinas remaining nuclear reactor, I felt like being part of a surreal movie. Visitors are rare in this part of Lithuania in mid-december and grim-looking security-men seemed deeply suspicious of our activities.
During the 1970s and 80s, the Lenin shipyard set the scene for some of Europe´s most decisive moments. Tumultuous strikes were followed by frightful massacres, as tanks met with unarmed workers. When hope finally seemed to linger, generals in full regalia appeared, declaring emergency law.
Sitges seems to be a real Mecca for Spanish ruin hunters. During one single morning we were able to visit two quite wonderful spots, while still being able to get a sun tan.
The amazing ruins of Bengt Nygrens Buketten empire lies on the outskirts of Eskilstuna.
I am often asked about the "best" and most spectacular Swedish industrial ruins. Clearly, Deje was among the top three, with its combination of rust, rotting plastics and utter chaos, all placed in an unusually pleasant landscape.
Hasselblad used to be one of the world´s most famous camera producers. It was Walter Schira, who was one of the first astronauts, that made the choice to use a Hasselblad on one of the first space missions. After that, it became NASA´s official camera. Hasselblad´s reputation grew immense, and it seemed to have been granted an almost God-given niche in the camera industry.
The 1960s and 70s were the decades that ice hockey made its breakthrough in Sweden. The abandoned arena in this gallery is one of the last remaining "ice palaces" that was the key to this remarkable evolution.

aside from a dire emergency or specialist - why do muslim women choose to see male doctors? is it laziness? ignorance? what?
In Canada there is a lack of female doctors. In Lethbridge - where I live - there is one female OB/GYN and she does not accept new patients. So I saw a male OB (in the presence of my husband, of course - and you can always request the presence of a female nurse) for lack of choice. Furthermore, I have had terrible experiences with female doctors. So many of the female doctors I have seen here in Canada are lazy and unprofessional.It seems that they think that just because you are also a woman there is no need to be professional (eg: referring to a pap test as "that gross crap" and yes, that actually happened). Frankly, I would much rather see a male doctor than be treated so poorly by a female one. My husband doesn't mind coming with.
Also - I suppose I was referring to a specialist (OB/GYN) above... at least they get "specialist status," so to speak, in Canada because you can't see them without a referral.
But as I said before - I don't know of any female doctors accepting patients in Lethbridge.
My experience is that the men are considered the specialists or more experienced. I have had a some really great female doctors and they had great bedside manner. Bedside manner is important to me, the Dr that are all cold and sterile make me feel some how that they aren't taking my case seriously. However the three worst doctors I have been to are also women. One female Dr. had us wait in an exam room for over 3 hours on our fist visit to her office. We eventually just left and never returned. Another that was a specialist for high risk pregnancies, when asked if a symptom that I was having is something normal her reply was " I don't know, I have never been pregnant."
I don't know. I will ALWAYS seek out female doctors and always feel more comfortable with female doctors. I was shocked when I moved to Saudi Arabia and discovered that 95% of the ob/gyn's here are men! Why??? In the practice I go to, you randomly get different doctors each time you go in. I've seen a female ob/gyn once. Every other time they've given me a man. Fortunately, pelvic exams are not done here unless there is a problem that requires it, so the doctor is just talking to me while the nurse takes my wieght and blood pressure, then he palpates my belly. Still, why??? Why would they not have female ob/gyn's in Saudi Arabia?
Mommy to 2 girls and 3 boys!
? my hubby and 2 cats
Still learning something new every day!
I had all 4 of my kids going to the same male doc. He is chaldean and I've seen a lot of hijabis in his office. When I was going to him though, I hadn't quite converted and was not wearing a scarf. I don't know that I could go back to him for my annual or to have another baby wearing a scarf, I think I would just feel weird. But he is a wonderful doctor and delivered all 4 of my kids. My husband doesn't have a major problem with it either. Although he thinks it's weird that women go to male doctors for that kinda stuff bc growing up women did not do that, he also sees it for what it is, just a doctor and a patient. There's nothing sexual about it and when I am pregnant he goes to almost every appt with me. I haven't really decided if I will go back to him or find another doctor. But that is weird that there is a lack of female obs in Saudi. I would've thought in the middle east, especially in that country, you would have to have a female doc?!
Momma to Abigail (9/7/2003), Dahlia (7/4/2010) and Huwaida (1/12/2016)
I try to get female doctors if I can. I have been very lucky that there is a great OBG that took care of me for both my preggies, but for the delivery of my son I went into premature labor and my ob was on vac. and the on call was a man, I had no choice. But he was a really good ob, but both my husband and were a bit uncomfortable but we knew it was a what it was. My general doc is also a female and Al-humduallah a Muslim-ah. Both her husband and her are in practice togther and I love them. They are very respectful and helpful (I am not crazy about their office staff though). I remember once when I was sick I check to see if they were covered under my insurance and it said they were, so I went to them. The problem was after the fact the insurance company said that they were not covered. I talked with my doc's husband and he said don't worry about the cost that they were fixing their paper work to be covered by my insurance company. They also have their own plan that covers care that is relatively inexpensive. The last doc I had was an Indian and was a little mean and she ignored me once. I was in the pharmacy getting a refil on my inhaler and had my son with me, who was I think 2yrs old. She gave me a different inhaler than I was use to, so I called the office to have her fix it. I explaned to the rep that I was in the pharmacy that I needed the inhaler to be fixed. She told me to wait and wait and wait and wait, and the pharmacy techs were trying to help me. I waited almost 2hrs and we heared nothing, so I called back after they told use to waited 10 minutes. When I called back they had closed and I did not have the new meds, nor help from the office. I never went back and left a very mean message.
My children's doc is a man, but the best in our area. I do not like the female ped. docs that much, but our doc is in a group so sometime we see the female docs in his office are ok.
I'm not muslim - I'm mennonite, but I was told by my best-friend's sister (who converted) that is has something to do with modesty. As a mennonite, we are concerned about modesty as well.
Many medical issues infringe upon one's body - either by having to devulge very personal information, to having major surgery where you are naked and alone in the presence of many people.
I found my birthing of ODS very intrusive and disrespectful - even though the staff was well-trained. They see it so often that they are non-chalant about it, and forget that you are a person needing respect and privacy. They were a little more careful of respecting my privacy with YDS during the c/s.
Mother to two amazing boys! Dylan - 8 (autism, hypotonia, asthma), Lucas - 4 (autism, Sturge-Weber).
Still, why??? Why would they not have female ob/gyn's in Saudi Arabia?
I also want to know why they only have men selling women's lingerie. I hate going in the shops there, I feel like the shopkeepers are sizing me up or something. *hate* that.
I did go into a Naomi's there that was all ladies-only, it was so wonderful, but the store can be a bit expensive (and I think there's only one or maybe two in Jeddah).
Since I live in Saudi I can answer some of the country specific questions! I feel so privileged.
So, in Saudi for women and men to work together there has to be an appointed, paid chaperone. Plus, women must get permission from their (I don't know the official term) father/husband/uncle etc. to work in a co-gender office area. I do not know if the permission is required in all fields or in all areas of the country, but it is in my area. For example, in al Khobar (which is actually pretty liberal) my good friend's father had to fill out and sign her application to the hospital. She is an American educated and trained physician who moved back home to hopefully practice in her home country, but when she went to pick up an application, her father had to be there with her. Then, when she went to drop it off (after he filled it out and signed the "permission" form) he also had to be present.
Second, you have to consider the education aspect of it. While Saudi does provided public education to both boys and girls (at separate schools of course), many families do not push for higher education for their daughters (at least not in country, a lot of the wealthier families send their daughters overseas). Then there is the actual higher educational facilities in the country, which are also limited because of sex. I guess the local universities accept women, but I don't know for sure and if they do, I'm sure there is some form of segregated classes. So there just aren't as many female doctors available. The female doctors at my OBGYN office are all Egyptian, Canadian, or British trained and none of them are of Saudi nationality.
Finally, as to the lingerie shop, it goes back to the idea of having a chaperone if you have both genders working together. It is an extra payment so it is just easier for the stores not to do it and to hire only men. Now there was one lingerie company that decided to do the only women thing, but then the shop windows had to be blacked out and men wouldn't/couldn't go in to buy their wives stuff, so that part of the company went belly up.
In my part of the country there aren't even changing rooms in any of the stores, even at the mall, because women aren't allowed to change and try on clothes. We just buy them and take them back if they don't fit.
Oh, and back to the doctor thing. Since women in Saudi can't drive their husband/father/uncle is usually with them at the doctor's anyway. When I last went to the OBGYN every women there had her husband with her, including the non-Muslims, and all the Msulim husbands went back for the appointment.

A Property24 reader asks:
We have just sold our property in Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal, and have a few questions about what fittings we are allowed to take with us i.e. the hob, stove plates, oven, bookshelves , our office desks because we are working from home, and my Victorian bath, and our two TV dishes.
When the buyer looked at our house he asked about the bookshelves and office desks and I told him that we wanted to take these. In the contract signed, in the special conditions paragraph, they only mentioned fixtures but none of these items are fixed but fitted.
Myles Wakefield, CEO of Wakefields Real Estate in KwaZulu-Natal, advises:
'Fixtures and fittings' is a minefield that can cause a lot of dissention. Buyers and sellers should make sure that everything they want to take place should be unambiguously listed in the sale agreement. Almost all sale agreements have subjective clauses, which allow buyers and sellers to stipulate the contractual requirements of the sale so that there can be no confusion.
If the seller wants to remove anything from the property that looks as if it should stay, such as the hob, stove and oven; the Victorian bath which ordinarily goes with the house or fancy bathroom mirrors; bar stools which go with the bar which remains; a wall unit/bookshelf that is detachable; a split air conditioning unit; a particular chandelier that was inherited; the pool cleaner, brush and net which go with the pool - then this must be stipulated in the agreement.
If the seller should remove any fixtures and fittings that were part of the sale agreement then the buyer has legal claim against the seller and can require him to replace the missing items or reduce the price of the property accordingly.
The satellite dish is an exception as in law it is not considered a permanent fixture because it goes with the decoder. If the desks are fitted and the removal of these would leave damage to the floor or wall the seller is required to fix this damage.
The legal obligation for buyers and sellers is to fulfil the terms and conditions of the sale agreement. If the contract says that the seller undertakes to fix a leak and repaint the damaged area prior to registration of transfer, this must be done, if not they are in breach of contract and can be sued.
If either party has to sue the party in breach of the contract the cost will amount to the actual cost if the sale agreement stipulates that costs will be refunded on an attorney and own client basis scale. If this is not stipulated then the court can award costs which would be a lot less than the actual incurred.

Click here, or on the image above, to see Menzies' entire film Invaders From Mars.
Invaders From Mars is a classic of 1950s Red Scare science fiction, depicting a world that is paranoid beyond belief, photographed in garish color, as directed and designed by the renowned William Cameron Menzies, the production designer of many excellent films, including Gone With The Wind (1939) — the first film on which a "production designer" credit was formally listed in the credits. The film is being screened in January at the UCLA Film Archive in its original 35mm format, and has long since been recognized as one of the classic "childhood nightmare" films of the era, and one of Menzies' finest achievements. Menzies' biographer, James Curtis, will introduce the screening.
As Glenn Erickson of DVD Savant notes of the film:
"Invaders from Mars was made relatively early in the 50s Sci Fi cycle, when the field was still dominated by "A" quality efforts. A script by John Tucker Battle, optioned by one set of producers, eventually landed with Edward L. Alperson, who made the uncharacteristically brilliant decision to put the entire project into the hands of legendary production designer and sometime film director William Cameron Menzies. Menzies was the genius who practically invented the concept of production design, on big silent movies like The Thief of Baghdad. His unique graphic sense graced the films of Sam Wood (Our Town, For Whom the Bell Tolls, King's Row). Menzies made Hollywood history with David O. Selznick by single-handedly engineering Gone With the Wind's visual dimension. Without him, the divergent contributions of a half-dozen directors might have created a shambles."
You can read the entire essay by clicking here.
As Glenn Erickson continues, "the furious action that concludes Invaders from Mars becomes even more dreamlike with the repetitions of shots and scenes [. . .] Dialogue lines are also repeated, especially young David's, "Colonel Fielding!, Colonel Fielding!," which is heard so often it becomes an unending echo. These repetition patterns make the ending more dreamlike in two ways. First, a high level of anxiety is maintained while the actual story progression slows to a crawl. A classic anxiety dream situation is 'running in place but not getting anywhere,' exactly the feeling imparted to Invaders. Second, the repetition forces a fixation on the images that keep coming back, a fixation that has the obsessive quality of dream logic. In our dreams, shocking moments seem to hang forever in the consciousness, or illogically 'come back again, but for the first time,' over and over."

Hydrasupport.com has not been contacted by the person complaining here, yes our name has neen the victim of an identity theft scam but we notified UK national fraud authorities. The person who wrote this would have been informed by phone and email that if they looked closely at the scam details they would have seen the fraudsters used various versions of spelling hydra and in acual fact the website they were directed to was hydyrasupport.com and was actually a telephone chat line number masquerading as an ofiicial site, but then transposed the contact and email details of innocent companies like mine to their site.
Here follows the response the author of the complaint would have got if they really contacted us.
Many people have received debits from their credit card and bank accounts that claim to be from hydrasupport.com.
None of these recipients are Hydrasupport.com clients, as we only supply broadcasters and tv film production companies, We are a service company and do not sell items over the internet, nor do we have the facility to process bank or credit cards. We can confirm that these debits have not been generated or sent by us. Our advice to anyone receiving the debits is to report the fraud immediately to your police authority and bank. Also please register the crime with the UK police's fraud division.
The site masquerading as our site has since been removed and shut down,
I agree with a persons right to speak and broadcast their thoughts however when people spread rumour and sleaze through communities based on unchecked, fraudulent and wrong evidence then there has to be a failure in the system

I've changed this theme quite a bit--making it narrower and less boxy. I wonder if what I'm trying to do is even possible with this theme. There are just so many things in the css that I have a hard time figuring out which one changes what. Some things don't seem to change anything. And I'm a real novice, which I'm sure is obvious.

Jason Stamper, lead analyst at 451 Research, reported today on VoltDB's newest software release, v6.0. As Stamper points out, v6.0 builds on the foundation of VoltDB's in-memory, massively parallel architecture. In today's data-intensive world, your business is only as fast as your database.
We're thrilled that 451 Research decided to highlight our newest release. We take great pains to understand market needs and deliver the tools to help you advance your enterprise to the next level of data management.
The Internet of Things (IOT) is rapidly expanding the number of streaming applications as people sensor tag an increasing number of objects of significance. This adds to the historical streaming applications we have observed in financial services, the military, on-line gaming and elsewhere. In this blog post, we classify such streaming applications according to Table 1.
The vertical axis represents the latency requirements of the streaming application. The bottom row represents applications without severe requirements. In other words, multi-second response time is acceptable.
It's a land grab out there with new companies coming to market every day with cool new applications and services. These companies include consumer product and service innovators such as Uber, Airbnb, and Fitbit, as well as B2B leaders you may not know yet, such as VoltDB customers Emagine International and Openet. These companies are changing the way business value is created by capturing a massive mobile mind shift.
Mobile users are obsessed with their devices, tethered to them and check them 150 times a day.
Choosing a database is a complex affair. Is performance the most important factor in the decision? Is the selection constrained by incumbent infrastructure and applications? Or are you working on a new application and feel free to consider the newest, hottest technologies – but then you need to decide which to use?
Wading through available technologies and assessing not only listed features/benefits but also evaluating competing marketing claims can seem more arduous than building a DIY solution.
Additionally, limiting your selection based on technology already being used or to the newest
More than three billion people globally access the Internet via smartphones and other devices such as watches and fitness trackers. This number pales in comparison to the total number of connected devices and sensors in the Internet of Things (IoT) today. Industry analyst firm Gartner puts this figure at 6.4 billion, and projects growth to 20.8 billion devices by 2020, with nearly 5.5 million new things added to the IoT daily. It's clear the economic value of the IoT lies with the connected machines, devices, and business and industrial systems that make up the sensor-driven IoT.

Last year we published YCSB benchmarks that compared IBM SoftLayer with Amazon Web Services. This generated a lot of interest from lots of different folks in the cloud community. There was so much interest we decided to do it again with more platforms.
We reached out to an independent benchmarking enthusiast, Tim Callaghan from ACME Benchmarking, to run the tests for us. We compensated him for his time and work, but we took a hands-off approach to the actual benchmarking.
The nice thing about this kind of benchmarking is that we don't care who wins.

It's no secret that the VoltDB NewSQL in-memory database is exceptionally good at high-speed transaction processing and complex decisioning. But, in today's highly specialized database ecosystem, you shouldn't use one database for everything just because you think you can.
You can certainly insert data at almost any velocity into VoltDB, but you will eventually run out of cluster memory (of course, you can solve this by adding nodes on the fly to increase cluster memory, although you may not need/want to store data in memory
The overwhelming availability of fast data, the datafication of humanity, is igniting a new era of innovation and reshaping industries. Volumes of data are pouring into enterprises, drowning them in the details about their customers, their products, and their networks.
Market disrupters have figured out how to harness this inflow of data to create business value, the minute (or more precisely, the millisecond) it enters the enterprise.
This blog was adapted from a post that first appeared on LinkedIn.
There's an interesting article in The Economist on consumer IOT. Here's an interesting excerpt:
Providers have focused on the home, touting products such as coffee pots that turn on when the alarm clock rings, lighting and blinds that adjust to the time of day, and fridges that send an alert when the milk runs out. But so far consumers have been largely resistant to making their homes "smart".
As someone who has studied the IoT in detail this doesn't surprise me.
Gartner recently issued the 2015 Magic Quadrant for Operational Database management Systems and VoltDB is featured for the third year running!
VoltDB is the only in-memory SQL OLTP database in this Magic Quadrant report. It's heartening to see all the hard work and dedication that has been put into building our company and product be recognized, but what I like best are the significant strengths called out:
Processing big data effectively often requires multiple database engines, each specialized to a purpose. Databases that are very good at event-oriented real-time processing are likely not good at batch analytics against large volumes. Here's a quick look at another of the Fast Data recipes from the ebook, "Fast Data: Smart and at Scale" Ryan Betts and I authored.
Data arriving at high-velocity, ingest-oriented systems needs to be processed and captured into volume-oriented systems.
In the VoltDB ebook, "Fast Data: Smart and at Scale," Ryan Betts and I outline what we have found, through years of work and collective experience, to be tried-and-true design patterns and recipes for fast data.
High-speed transactional applications or operational applications that process a stream of incoming events are being built for use cases including real-time authorization, billing, usage, operational tuning, and intelligent alerting. Writing these applications requires combining streaming analytics with transaction processing on live data feeds.
Transactions in these applications
I recently joined VoltDB as the lead Solutions Architect responsible for helping prospects, customers and partners in the West Coast and Central US. Most recently before joining VoltDB, I was part of the professional services group at one of the three major Hadoop vendors where I was involved in both pre-sales and post sales work. I have been actively involved in Big Data, architecting and implementing various open source projects in the Hadoop ecosystem, since the year 2010.
Over the last few months, working with businesses who chose to address their fast data needs, I have experienced at
In the age of Fast Data, being able to make decisions on a per-event basis is just as important as being able to handle the high ingestion rate. An example that demonstrates this concept well is clickstream processing.
Clickstreams record users' activities on the web as they navigate through web pages. Events are either page requests to servers or browser events recorded on users' computers. Clickstream analysis provides insights into users' behaviors and preferences. The information is useful to applications for online advertising, social networks, security monitoring, marketing, etc.

Retailers know they need Big Data and are charging forward to get in the game. But many retailers continue to face challenges. What type of data should be collected? How should the data be used to generate insights? How do I measure ROI?
101data recently surveyed US retailers, across a range of sizes.

According to the EMC/IDC Digital Universe Report, data is doubling in size every two years.
Just in time for Strata + Hadoop NYC, Ryan Betts, VoltDB founding developer and CTO, and John Hugg, VoltDB founding developer have written a great eBook for O'Reilly Media - Fast Data: Smart and at Scale: Design Patterns and Recipes.
The question this book tries to answer for developers, enterprise architects and others is: How do you develop apps that combine real-time, streaming analytics with real-time decisions, using an architecture that's reliable, scalable, and simple?
Ryan Betts is one of VoltDB's founding developers, and is currently our CTO. He's been designing and building distributed systems and high-performance infrastructure software for almost 20 years. Chances are, if you've used the Internet, some of your ones and zeros passed through a slice of code he wrote or tested. We're pleased to announce that Ryan, always a thought leader, has written a new eBook for O'Reilly Media titled, "Architecting for the Internet of Things: Making the Most of the Convergence of Big Data, Fast Data, and Cloud."
In his work with our customers and prospects, and in his
VoltDB is already the go-to product for developing fast data applications because of its unparalleled performance, availability, and durability. v6.0 builds on that foundation by extending existing capabilities and simplifying the development process.
What does a VoltDB application look like? Some of the characteristics are:
I am a firm believer in complexity budgets. Every feature adds complexity. Your product becomes less stable, less reliable, harder to test, and slower to develop as complexity increases. Our lives as software developers are, in large part, pitched battles against complexity. There is a hierarchy of preference when fighting complexity: zero-code is better than code; configuration is better than code; declarative is better than imperative; orthogonal is better than interwoven.
Amazon's Kinesis tutorial violates all of these rules. The tutorial sets forth a simple goal: count URL referrers.
MaxCDN is a content delivery network (CDN) provider that emphasizes reducing the latency and increasing the reliability of its rich-content delivery. It provides CDN services to digital advertisers, ad networks, publishers, hosting providers, gaming companies, and mobile providers.
The company's business challenge was to provide customers with real-time analytics of content delivery in addition to having a reliable and accurate billing engine.
I changed jobs and companies a very fast 90 days ago, moving from a huge (I like to say that like Bernie Sanders says it, starting with a "Y" – I'm from New York after all) technology company to the much smaller VoltDB. In my previous role, I worked on data warehousing. The challenges we solved were about Big Data, but really mostly about Volume and Variety. Other parts of the company's vast portfolio tried to address the Velocity part, but our group helped customers store massive amounts of data and scan it quickly. That was analytics.
Fast Data has changed the way business value is created and captured, opening up a new era of competition and reshaping industries. But evaluating business and technology options for data is complex and rapidly evolving. For example, according to Gartner, through 2018, 90% of deployed data lakes will be useless, as they are overwhelmed with information assets captured for uncertain use cases. We posted an article recently all about "orphaned data". Deciding which areas to invest in, how those investments deliver value, and making good technology choices is mission critical for expanding your
Today is the fifth Internet of Things (IoT) Day, a day that marks a significant change in how we work, how we control our homes, how we drive, how most everything is made and how most everything else in our lives is changing. All this change is being driven by the tsunami of omnipresent data in our daily lives.
The Internet – a product of the 1960s-era ARPANET, in combination with Sir Tim Berners-Lee's World Wide Web - has created the perfect storm for connectivity, providing the foundation off which the Internet of Things is exploding.
In little more than 40 years, we've gone from a world
Openet, a leading independent supplier of real-time business support systems (BSS), ensures that more than 600 million mobile telecommunications users around the world enjoy the best network and data experience while enabling mobile operators to monetize data use in real-time.
In late 2012, Openet began evaluating potential replacements for its database infrastructure, primarily to drive down the TCO of its applications and solutions and to better support the real-time demands of mobile data.
They selected VoltDB.
VoltDB is able to provide a higher performance, in-memory database that could
The term "datafication" has typically referred to taking a process or activity that was previously invisible and turning it into data that can be tracked, monitored, and optimized. It was originally popular with the data modeling community but is experiencing newfound relevance with the accelerating technological advances we are experiencing, coupled with our abilities to capture many aspects of our world and our daily lives that have never been quantifiable before.
Datafication is no longer just about tracking and optimizing business processes; it is now integrating with real-world
How many of us dreamed of having a superpower growing up? Be honest. I know for me it was flying. I bet everyone has a superpower they'd like to have.
At VoltDB we have a saying: make fast data work. We've put that into practice for all our clients, and they've developed some very cool, next gen applications that are disrupting their markets. For example, we helped Emagine International achieve a 253% increase in mobile offer purchases with their Real-time Event Decisioning (ERED) platform.
Emagine's offering is a superpower for real-time personalization.
Innovation in the telecommunications industry has been led primarily by hardware vendors, offering differentiating capabilities to carriers. This has created an environment of vendor lock-in and staggered progress due to lack of agility. A side effect of this is equipment and infrastructure obsolescence at a rate that is not desirable for carriers. At the same time, a model that delivers agility in the software industry is emerging in cloud-enabled services and service-oriented architectures (SOA).
Historically, organizations rely on cross-pollination of innovative ideas across industries.
Many choices in computing and data processing are positioned as an either/or choice: either adopt Cloud or stick with physical data centers; either manage development via Agile or stay with waterfall processes; either use an RDBMS or a NoSQL database; either go all in to Big Data or try to extract value from data in real time with open source tools like Spark, or look for an enterprise-class solution with the stability, service and support required to manage a business.
Life is seldom so simple.
The recent Strata + Hadoop featured SQL, fast data, and streaming. The conference agenda of the premier Hadoop conference featured the word "Spark" more than 30 times. Throughout the conference, the importance of real-time, Fast Data processing dominated both hallway mindshare and the agenda.
At VoltDB we've been beating the drum (and providing the tools): the value of Big Data is found in real-time applications. Big Data exploration and analytics lead to new insights and new opportunity.
IoT data management platforms must manage both data in motion (fast data) and data at rest (big data). As things generate information, the data needs to processed by applications. Those applications must combine patterns, thresholds, plans, metrics, and more from analytics run against collected (big) data with the current state and readings of the things (fast). From this combination, they need to have some side effect.
That's the part of IoT - and modern data management in general - that isn't discussed enough: the side effects.
In our book Fast Data: Smart and at Scale, we've demonstrated how to think about, and implement, software applications to solve the recurring problems a developer or architect working with fast streams of data encounters.
Fast Data applications are relatively new. Because they are new, the approach to solving them is still in flux. To that point, we have proposed a collection of patterns for common development challenges and complexities we see arise in our day-to-day work at VoltDB.
I recently met with a bunch of VoltDB customers. These are companies in the business of data and developing the next generation of applications – they are at the forefront of an economy driven by data and the datafication of just about everything.
When I talked with these customers, I was struck by the fact that while they all operate in different industries and different geographies with very different products and services, they all have the same concerns.
They need to rapidly deploy services, realize time to value, and scale their IT infrastructures.
It may not be a surprise that business executives and their development teams don't see eye-to-eye on everything. Especially when the challenge is tapping into a rapidly growing new technology trend like real-time data that can make your business smarter, faster, and more interactive. That is precisely what we found in one of the industry's first surveys on the state of real-time data analysis in today's enterprise, although there are important areas of agreement in addition to the disconnects.
The survey, conducted by Research Now and sponsored by VoltDB, examined how different roles within

DOZENS of people have signed up in two days to quiz Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg in Oxford on Tuesday.
The Oxford Mail is hosting a special meeting that will allow our readers to put their questions direct to the Liberal Democrat leader two days before the council and European parliament elections.
The event is free to attend and will be held at a city centre location from 12.30pm.
You have to apply for a place but anyone of any political persuasion will be welcome to attend. The only vetting will be for security purposes, not political.
A Liberal Democrat spokesman said last night: "Nick is really looking forward to coming to Oxford and answering your questions directly. We are delighted to have had dozens of applications in just the first two days. Space will be limited so we would urge you to apply to be part of the audience as soon as possible."
Oxford Mail editor Simon O'Neill added: "This will not be some Liberal Democrat rally and we're expecting Mr Clegg to get some challenging questions from our audience."
The closing date for applications is Sunday at 6pm.
Audience members will be informed on Monday of the location once they have been accepted. You will need to produce photo ID to get in.
