A 19th-century cartoon skewers British imperialism in the Middle East. The current tumult in the region today is a direct result of the arbitrary boundaries and divide-and-rule tactics employed by the imperial British and French. (Image: Middle East Cartoon History)
"So far as Syria is concerned, it is France and not Turkey that is the enemy."– T. E. Lawrence, February 1915.
It was a curious comment by the oddball but unarguably brilliant British agent and scholar, Thomas Edward Lawrence. The time was World War I, and England and France were locked in a death match with the Triple Alliance, of which Ottoman Turkey was a prominent member. But it was nonetheless true, and no less now than then. In the Middle East, to paraphrase William Faulkner, history is not the past; it's the
Add now
In his 1915 letter, Lawrence was describing French machinations over Syria, but he could just as well have been commenting on England's designs in the region, which Allied leaders in World War I came to call "The Great Loot"—the imperial vivisection of the Middle East.
As Iraq tumbles into a yet another civil war, it is important to remember how all this came about, and why adding yet more warfare to the current crisis will perpetuate exactly what the "Great Loot" set out to do: tear an entire region of the world asunder.
Divide and Conquer
There is a scorecard here filled with names, but they are not just George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Condoleezza Rice—though the latter helped mightily to fuel the latest explosion.
They are names most people have never heard of, like Sixth Baronet of Sledmere Mark Sykes and French diplomat Francois Georges-Picot. In 1915, these two mid-level diplomats created a secret plan to divvy up the Middle East. Almost a century later that imperial map not only defines the region and most of the players, but continues to spin out tragedy after tragedy, like some grotesque, historical Groundhog Day.
In 1915, the imperial powers' major goal in the Middle East was to smother any expression of Arab nationalism and prevent any unified resistance to the designs of Paris and London. France wanted Greater Syria, Britain control of the land bridges to India. The competition was so intense that even while hundreds of thousands of French and British troops were dying on the Western Front, their secret services were blackguarding one another from Samarra to Medina, maneuvering for position for when the Ottoman Empire finally collapsed.
The Sykes-Picot Agreement was the compromise aimed at ending the internecine warfare. France would get Greater Syria (which it would divide to create Lebanon), plus zones of influence in northern Iraq. Britain would get the rest of Iraq and Jordan and establish the Palestine Mandate. All of this, however, had to be kept secret from the locals, whom the British and French incited to rebel against imperial Ottoman rule even as they plotted to impose their own.
The Arabs thought they were fighting for independence, but London and Paris had other designs. Instead of the lands between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and access to the Mediterranean the Arabs had been promised, they would get the sun-blasted deserts of Arabia and the rule of monarchs, who were easy to buy or bully.
However, to run such a vast enterprise through the use of direct force was beyond the power of even London and Paris. So both empires transplanted their strategies of exploiting religion, sect, tribe, and ethnicity—which had worked so well in Indochina, India, Ireland, and Africa—to divide and conquer, adding to it a dash of chaos.
The French put the minority Christians in charge of Lebanon to keep down the majority Sunnis and Shiites. They recruited the minority Alawite Shiites in Syria to head up the army that ruled over the majority Sunnis, while the British installed a Sunni king in Iraq to rule over the country's majority Shiites. In Palestine the British used Zionism much as they were using Protestantism in Northern Ireland to keep down the native Catholic Irish and keep both communities divided. Communities ended up fighting one another rather than their imperial masters, which, of course, was the whole point of the matter.
Now those demons are on the loose.
Names on the Ledger
There are new players in the Middle East since Sykes and Picot drew up their agreement. Washington and Israel were latecomers, but eventually replaced both imperial powers as the major military forces in the region.
The enemy of the "Great Loot" was secular nationalism, and the United States, France, and Britain have been trying to overthrow, isolate, or co-opt secular regimes in Iraq, Syria, Egypt, and Libya since they first appeared. The rationale for the hostility is that secular regimes were run by dictators. Many have been, but they're arguably no worse than the Wahhabi fanatics in Saudi Arabia or the monsters the Gulf monarchies have nurtured in Syria and northern Iraq.
Why is Syria a dictatorship when Saudi Arabia is not? This past February, the kingdom passed a law equating anything offends "the nation's reputation or its position"—including dissent, the exposure of corruption, and campaigns for reform—with "terrorism."
The list of names on the ledger of those who nurture terrorism in the Middle East is long. Yes, it certainly includes the Bush administration, which smashed up one of the most developed countries in the region, dismantled the Iraqi state, and stoked the division between Sunni and Shiites. But also the Clinton administration, whose brutal sanctions impoverished Iraq and eviscerated its middle class. And further back, during the first Gulf War, George H. W. Bush pounded southern Iraq with toxic depleted uranium, inflicting a massive cancer epidemic on places like Basra. It was Jimmy Carter and the CIA who backed Saddam Hussein's rise to power, because the Ba'athist dictator was particularly efficient at torturing and killing trade unionists and members of the Iraqi left.
Not to mention members of the Gulf Cooperation Council—Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Morocco, and Jordan—who fund the Islamic insurgency in Syria. Some of those countries may decry the excesses of the Islamic State of Syria and the Levant (ISIL), but it was they who stoked the fires in which ISIL was forged.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is also on that list. It is through Turkey's borders that most fighters and supplies pass into Syria. So is the Obama administration, which farmed the insurgency out to Qatar and Saudi Arabia and is now horrified by the creatures that those Wahhabist feudal monarchies produced.
France's Imperial Grudge
And don't forget T.E. Lawrence's French.
Paris has never forgiven the Syrians for tossing them out in 1946, nor for Damascus' role in the 1975-1990 Lebanese civil war that dethroned the French-favored Christian minority who had dominated the country since its formation in 1943.
The French have been enthusiastic supporters of the insurgency in the Syrian civil war and, along with the British, successfully lobbied the European Union to drop its ban on supplying the rebels with military hardware. Paris has also earned favor from Saudi Arabia by trying to derail efforts to find a solution to the conflict over Iran's nuclear program. France is a member of the group of powers known as the P5+1—France, the United States, Russia, Britain, China, and Germany—involved in talks with Tehran.
The Gulf Council praised France's attempted sabotage, and Paris promptly landed a $6-billion contract to upgrade Saudi Arabia's air defense system. It is negotiating to sell $8 billion worth of fighter-bombers to the Emirates and almost $10 billion worth to Qatar.
Saudi Arabia recently donated $3 billion in aid to the Lebanese Army on the condition that it is used to buy French weapons and ammunition. It is a somewhat ironic gift, since the major foe of the Lebanese Army lately has been Saudi-supported Wahhabists in the country's northern city of Tripoli.
And that's not all. Apparently French President Francois Hollande met with the foreign ministers of Jordan and the United Arab Emirates last September to discuss a plan for Pakistan to train a 50,000-man Sunni army to overthrow the Syrian government and defeat al-Qaeda-affiliated jihadist groups.
Members of that army may already be on their way to Europe, much as the mujahedeen from Afghanistan did a generation ago. According to western intelligence services, more than 3,000 European Union citizens have gone to fight in Syria—10 times the number who went to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. The gunman who killed four people on May 24 at the Jewish Museum in Brussels was a veteran jihadist from the Syrian civil war.
Sowing Chaos
For now, the Gulf monarchies see themselves as pulling the strings, but they have virtually no control over what they have wrought. Those Wahhabi fanatics in Syria and northern Iraq may do what Osama bin Laden did and target the corruption of the monarchies next.
The Gulf countries are rich but fragile. Youth unemployment in Saudi Arabia is between 30 and 40 percent, and half the country's 28 million people are under 25 years of age. In other Gulf nations a tiny strata of superrich rule over a huge and exploited foreign workforce. When the monarchies begin to unravel, the current chaos will look like the Pax Romana.
But chaos has always been an ally of imperialism. "The agenda has always been about imposing division and chaos on the Arab world," wrote long-time peace activist Tom Hayden. "In 1992, Bernard Lewis, a major Middle East expert, wrote that if the central power is sufficiently weakened, there is no real civil society to hold the polity together, no real sense of common identity…the state then disintegrates into a chaos of squabbling, feuding, fighting sects, tribes, regions, and parties." And that is just the kind of disintegration that foreign powers have sought to exploit.
Military intervention by the United States and its allies will accelerate the divisions in the Middle East. If the White House is serious about stemming the chaos, it should stop fueling the Syrian civil war, lean on the Gulf monarchies to end their sectarian jihad against Shiites, pressure the Israelis to settle with the Palestinians, and end the campaign to isolate Iran.
And tell the French to butt out.

The New X.Org Server Driver API Is Coming
Published on 14 May 2012 04:13 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
16 Comments
The new driver API for the X.Org Server that would finally allow for the X.Org stack to better compete with modern desktop drivers on Windows and Mac OS X, may actually see the light of day, prior to the Wayland push.
For some time David Airlie has been working on a new driver API for the xorg-server to handle various shortcomings of the current driver architecture. Namely, David wants X.Org to be able to handle:
- GPU offloading in conjunction with
. This would be like modern NVIDIA Optimus and a step closer to CrossFire/SLI-like support.
- USB device hot-plugging for the X.Org Server.
- GPU switching between two drivers for an active X.Org Server session.
More technical details about this DDX driver API re-design that has been going on for months can be found on
David's blog
When the push does change, all of the X.Org drivers will need to be updated to take advantage of the API... The Intel / Nouveau / Radeon support will likely be there on time, but some of the more obscure drivers may take a while. Or it might just be the time to put the vintage/obscure GPU hardware support out to the pasture, seeing as it took
nearly three years for one driver to be updated
with support for modern X.Org Server compatibility and months of time for other drivers. Though there are defines within the code to allow for API compatibility with the old design.
Or by the time all of this work lands, more people will be then looking at migrating to Wayland... It's unclear at this point when the work will actually land as if it will make the X.Org Server 1.13 merge window for release in September, since right now the latest patches have yet to be reviewed. Keith Packard did
, "Yeah, no love for X server API changes this year."
The latest patches, which represent the first part of this work, can be found on
the mailing list

Encouraging Teachers to Work in Hard-to-Staff Assignments
In order to help bolster teacher retention rates and fill subject-specific teacher shortages, some states are offering incentives to teachers who agree to work in targeted teaching-assignment areas. Quality Counts 2008 reports that 16 states offered such teachers incentives during the 2007-08 school year. Further analysis by the EPE Research Center shows that those states have enacted such policies in a variety of subjects and assignment areas, including: mathematics, science, special education, instruction of English-language learners, and foreign language courses. Four states – Florida, Kentucky, Maryland, and Virginia – offer incentives in at least five different areas.
For more information on teacher incentives and other state-by-state data, search the EPE Research Center's Education Counts database.

Wisegeek.com explains software licensing as a type of contract which exists between the person of company who produces a type of software, and the end user, or person who purchases or downloads the software to use. It is created to protect the copyright of the software, and actually restricts the ways in which the end user can utilize it. Most of these restrictions consist of duplicating the software or installing it on more than one computer. Changing the software in any way or editing it's code is also normally forbidden by the software license. According to Wikipedia, software which is copyrighted and then covered by a software license is done under several different schemes. This means that there are many different types of software licenses. In this article, we will cover a few of those types, namely GNU/GPL, MIT, and Creative Commons.
GNU/GPL General Public License
The first type of software license which we will cover here is known as the GNU GPL, or simply the GPL license. This General Public License is the most widely used type of free software license, and was originally created for the GNU Project by Richard Stallman. The GNU project is a huge project of a mass collaboration of free software which was announced on September 27, 1983. In this announcement, the goal of the project was stated to be to develop, "a sufficient body of free software ….to get along without any software that is not free." As Wikipedie explains, Stallman set out to create one license which could be used for any project, which would make it impossible for several projects to share the same code.
This type of licensing soon became known as General Public Licensing or GPL. It is the first copyleft license which was created for use by the public.
The derived works from this type of licensing can only be distributed if it is done so under the same license terms as the original.
This allows the end user of the program to retain the rights of the free software definition while using copyleft to make sure that the freedoms of the license are protected even if the work is modified.
The terms and conditions which come with the GPL must be expressed clearly to anyone who receives a copy of the work for which a GPL is attached. If a licensee agrees to these terms and conditions, he or she may be given permission to modify the work, copy it, or distribute it or any modified version. This may be done either as a free service or for a fee, in accordance with copyleft laws. Copyleft is basically just as it sounds. It is the opposite of a copyright which restricts the recipient of software. Copyleft grants right to the recipient, and makes sure that those rights cannot be taken away from them.
MIT Software Licensing
The MIT Software Licensing gets its name from the fact that it was created at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is known as a permissive free software license, which means that it permits the recipient to reuse the software if all of the copies of the licensed software come with a copy of the original terms of the MIT License. This proprietary software may incorporate software under the MIT License, but it retains its proprietary nature. The license was written for the X Window System, but has also been used in Expat, PuTTY, the Mono Development Platform class libraries, CakePHP, Ruby on Rails, Symfony, and Lua.
Wikipedia shares the following as a sample of the MIT License agreement:
Copyright (C) <year> <copyright holders>
Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sub-license, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:
The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
In a nutshell, you can use a MIT-licensed software in your own projects and resell it. You are not obliged to publicly share the source code of your product.
Creative Commons Software Licensing
The term "Creative Commons" software licensing comes from the name of a non-profit organization whose headquarters are located in Mountain View California in the United States of America. The Creative Commons organization is dedicated to expanding the range of creative works which are available for other users to build upon legally and then share. They have actually released several different copy-right licenses which are known as the Creative Commons licenses, which are all available to the public free of charge.
The purpose of the Creative Commons license is to allow the creators of the software to make it clear which rights they reserve and which ones they waive for the benefits of other users and creators. It is only one page and is written in such a way to make it simple to understand. Although these licenses do not replace a copyright, they are based on the copyright and can replace negotiations by the individuals for specific rights.
Instead of thinking of an "all rights reserved" license, it is more of a "some rights reserved."
This is used for cases where the copyright owner is not seeking commercial gain from the software. Both the copyright owner and the recipient or user can benefit from such a license.
If you are a developer or a tech startup company you might need to think about how to licence your software or application. The choice of a licence type depends on many factors such as your business model, other software components you use for your application, etc. Please share your ideas and comments about the different Licence types: what type of licences do you use for your own projects? Do you use any?

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...

Set Goals That Will Make Your Life Easier, Not HarderPosted by gsettingwk under Self-Development

Whenever I see children, I think about how easy their life is. And I remember, when I was a kid, life was indeed much easier and simpler. My needs were met and I was happy. And now that I've become an adult, things have certainly become much more complicated, even though life should still be easy.

When I do benchwork I consistently keep pretty good notes. I write down everything I do as I do it, on numbered and dated sheets of paper that go into looseleaf binders, organized by experiment. If I make notes on a scrap of paper, I tape them in. I write a brief plan (a few sentences about the point and design of the experiment) and end with some sort of conclusion or summary.

A lot of computational work is exploratory and rapid. You probably don't want to record everything that you type, but you do want to capture the key commands and outputs. Here's a few ideas.ReplyDelete
- The best way: a well-organised directory structure (project/code, project/fasta etc.), so you know that certain files go in certain places.
- Get to grips with useful command-line tools, e.g. "ls -lrt" lists files from old-new, "find" for locating files by name, date etc.
- Use version control. Can't really over-state how useful that is.
- Since you're at the computer, why not make your notes at the computer instead of on paper? Keep a tab open with a wiki, a Google Doc, an online notebook or whatever works for you.

When I work in R, I keep detailed notes in the commented out parts (including dates). It helps me keep track of where I am in the process and what I was thinking when I initiated the analysis.ReplyDelete

Although this week should be fairly quiet, we do have a few weather stories going on. There are two big cold fronts coming in. The first is about halfway through KELOLAND and will cool us off tomorrow. The latter will move in on Wednesday and the cold will last through next weekend.
We'll also have strong winds the next few days as the fronts move through.
Though there is rain on the radar right now, most of this is struggling to hit the ground. The air still needs to be primed for rain and we're fairly far off. Still, drizzle is possible during the overnight hours.
Tomorrow will be more of a seasonal day. Temperatures will be in the 70s and skies will clear from west to east during the afternoon.
By Tuesday, the south winds bringing warmth return. This will again stir up a good breeze and peak fire danger again. The warmest areas will be just ahead of the cold front, with something called 'compressional warming.' That looks to be seen in western and northern South Dakota. We've trimmed the highs Tuesday in Sioux Falls just a touch since it does not look quite as windy. The much cooler Arctic air arrives Wednesday but the coolest temperatures will be felt late week.
The week's best overall chance of rain is late Wednesday into early Thursday. We could see several hard freezes late week.

Advanced battery maker will pay to train thousands at Grand Rapids Community College
Construction is underway on a huge plant in Holland that will eventually produce hundreds of thousands of battery packs for electric vehicles, including the Chevy Volt. Under a new agreement signed this week, Grand Rapids Community College will help train potential employees for the company, LG Chem.
Mary Hofstra is with GRCC. She helped design this and similar programs at the college.
"Our goal as a school is to be working with these new battery facilities and to design the curriculum needed to support that industry. So that people can come here, get their college certificate, one year certificate. Maybe it's going to be a job training model where someone comes for a 20 week period of time to learn the basics to get into that field. It's going to bring a lot of opportunity beyond just the few that are coming to area."
Under the agreement, the college will train more than 3,000 employees the company expects to hire over the next two decades. LG Chem will pay for their employees' training through payroll taxes.

Christchurch Music
OPINION: Die Walkure, by Richard Wagner with Simon O'Neill, Edith Haller, Christine Goerke, John Wegner, Jonathan Lemalu and Margaret Medlyn, with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra conducted by Pietari Inkinen, at the CBS Arena, Wednesday 25 July, reviewed by Timothy Jones.
Another visit to the CBS Arena reminds me why I detest its every feature, but having got that gripe out of the way, let's move on to report an entirely wonderful concert.
Concert performances of opera can end up delivering the worst of both worlds, and one certainly wonders what Wagner would make of a performance of one of his works that was so far from gesamt, but I found this semi-staging entirely satisfying - helped of course by a spectacularly fine cast and the NZSO in top form.
Simon O'Neill was simply magnificent as Siegmund - fluent and effortlessly expressive. In fact I could say exactly the same of all six singers, Edith Haller as Sieglinde, Christine Goerke as Brünnhilde, John Wegner as Wotan, Jonathan Lemalu as Hunding and Margaret Medlyn as Fricka.
The singing of each had real three-dimensional character and the absence of all the stage paraphernalia of props and costumes, sets and lighting, smoke and dry ice, counted for nothing.
Instead the six worked along the narrow front margin of the stage and acted, all quite brilliantly, with their voices.
That is of course exactly what is supposed to happen, but with all the other stage tricks removed, the effect was dynamite.
The sight and sound of eight monumental valkyries discussing their horses, and the heroes they carry, is certainly one of the happiest experiences I have had for many years.
So the singers had little room to move, which gave the starring role to the orchestra - and how they earned it. Maestro Inkinen cracked the whip and we were off at pace, with all the drama, light and shade you could wish for.
Forced to pick a moment where the neck hairs really did start to twitch and it would have to be Wotan's re-appearance to announce Brünnhilde's punishment. Now that was a moment of pure musical joy.

Housed in the austere, medieval-era Palazzo Castellani, this museum dedicated to the history of science holds a rich collection of old scientific instruments. A significant portion of the exhibits comes from the collections of the Medici and Habsburg-Lorraine families; as of the Renaissance, they had a humanist desire for all fields of knowledge and were particularly passionate about science. Note in particular Room 4 on the first floor, which houses Galileo memorabilia, and Room 12 on the second floor, which is devoted to mechanical timepieces and automatons, en vogue in the 18C.

Since moving over to Amazon, I have been reading quite a bit more than I have been blogging. There's good and bad to that, but the upside is that I have discovered many new authors, explored many new ideas, and have a seemingly endless supply of suggestions to the inquiry "what should I read next?" During 2012 I did a great deal of reading, but also took advantage of Audible on my phone and Fire HD for my commutes to listen to some great books as well. Here's my 2012 reading list, approximately in the order completed during the year. The grand total came out to 48 books inclusive of novels, graphic novels and audio books. I put down 2 titles that I couldn't finish.
|Title: Ready Player One
Author: Ernest Cline
Rating: 3.5/5 stars
Quick Review: Nice throwback to pop culture and video games, but ultimately the story labored under the weight of a lack of a clear focus. This felt like a child's version of Reamde by Neal Stephenson.
|Title: Wool – Book 1
Author:Hugh Howey
Rating: 3/5 stars
Quick Review: This book came recommended to me repeatedly on Amazon. The first one was interesting, but…
|Title: The Mote in God's Eye
Author: Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle
Rating: 3.5/5 stars
Quick Review: I did not grow up reading Niven or Pournelle, and discovered Pournelle via his many appearances on TWiT. The story started very well, and captured my interest. Once they were down on the planet surface (2/3 of the way through the book), the pacing and story telling fell apart. I was disappointed with how hard it was to finish the book, but again, given the date of publishing, I give them both a huge nod, and look forward to starting Lucifer's Hammer this year.
|Title: The Blade Itself
Author: Joe Abercrombie
Rating: 4/5 stars
Quick Review: I had never heard of Abercrombie before hearing his name used on the Sword and Laser podcast. I picked up this book and loved it. It's a bit long, which is one reason it didn't rate higher. Than and the strange side love story. The ending was unexpected and pretty awesome, and I look forward to reading book 2 – Before They Are Hanged – this year, as well as starting Red Country.
|Title: After Friday Night Lights
Author: Buzz Bissinger
Rating: 4.5/5 stars
Quick Review: Great follow up to the original story. Whenever I read historical retellings, I always wonder what became of those involved. This is a harsh look at life after football for a fallen star with minimal life skills as a result of the high school football machine.
|Title: Love Yourself
Author: Kamal Ravikant
Rating: 1/5/5 stars
Quick Review: I found this title via a blog post, and it was cheap enough that I decided to hear why Tim Ferris thought so much of the title. Given my disdain for Ferris as an author and a self promoter, I should have known better. Shame on me I guess.
|Title: Roadside Picnic
Author: Arkady Strugatsky, Boris Strugatsky
Rating: 4.5/5 stars
Quick Review: Also discovered via the Sword and Laser podcast. What an incredible premise for a story, and I loved it. There is no doubt in my mind that the translation loses something from the native Russian. There were sequences where I could hear the authors voice and I heard Russian inflections in my head. Great story. Some things were a little hard to parse, and I resorted to a wiki page to make sure I was interpreting certain events correctly. The only real issue is the ending which was just…odd. Not Stephen King bad, just odd.
|Title: Kill Decision
Author: Daniel Suarez
Rating: 4/5 stars
Quick Review: The story premise was an interesting one, but this was not as strong an effort as Daemon or Freedom. Very unique and fresh ideas, but it felt like this one relied too much on technological whiz bangery than veering off into the "not there yet" level of technology to allow for a bit of escapism in the story. It almost felt like Suarez was ready to be there by your side as you finished every chapter to say "heh? uh? pretty cool right??"
|Title: Justice League Dark
Author: Peter Milligan, Mikel Janin, Ryan Sook
Rating: 1.5/5 stars
Quick Review: Again, not a big DC Universe guy, but this one failed to capture my interest in any meaningful way. I finished it, but I can't tell you why.
|Title: Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World
Author: Jack Weatherford
Rating: 4/5 stars
Quick Review: I got sucked into the history of Genghis Khan through the fictionalized accounts of his life by Conn Iggulden, starting with Genghis: Birth of an Empire. The historical fiction was nice, but this was a very detailed, and historically accurate, recount of the life of Genghis. You can tell that there was tons of research effort which went into this title.
|Title: Old Man's War
Author: John Scalzi
Rating: 4/5 stars
Quick Review: I keep hearing Scalzi's name. He seems to be everywhere these days. While I slog through Red Shirts, I wanted to give Scalzi a chance at pre-redemption. This story has done quite a bit more to capture my attention and interest than he has done thus far with Red Shirts. I appreciate that he attempts to tackle challenging social issues combined with a post-industrial neo-colonialism.
|Title: Saga
Author: Brian K. Vaughn, Fiona Staples
Rating: 4/5 stars
Quick Review: After reading Y: The Last Man, I eagerly awaited a next opportunity to read anything from Vaughn. If you haven't read that whole series, stop what you are doing right now and order it. It's great story telling with a beginning a middle and an end. Something Robert Kirkman could learn. Pride of Badhdad left me wanting in a major way, so when I heard about Saga, I was hoping for the best. The first trade paperback was interesting and compelling, and I await the opportunity to read book 2.
|Title: Unbroken
Author: Laura Hillenbrand
Rating: 4.5/5 stars
Quick Review: I loved the book Seabiscut when it came out. The story came alive, and Laura Hillenbrand demonstrated her talents for constructing a narrative of past events, allowing the reader to relive them as if they were there. She continued this with Unbroken, an amazing tale of survival and hardship of a WWII bomber crew. Simply incredible.
|Title: Unintended Consequences
Author: Edward Conard
Rating: 3/5 stars
Quick Review: An ultimately forgettable economics book which tries to follow in the footsteps blazed by Freakanomics. Maybe it's because my schooling and work background makes the content of the book a bit pedestrian, but I wasn't challenged by the content. Unlike The Big Short by Lewis, it lacks characters upon which the story is built, which made covering a known corpus of content all the more interesting because of the players involved.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric.

This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff hap...
