Creamy Asparagus Soup
The other day my husband did a really nice thing: the grocery shopping! Usually, I'm the one who does it, but I've been working long hours lately, so he offered to buy some things at the grocery store for us that night. I came home to 2 huge bundles of asparagus. Now, we both love to eat asparagus, but this was just way too much to eat before it would go bad. I started thinking about what we could do with all of that asparagus and came up with this creamy asparagus soup.
The addition of bacon really adds great flavor to this soup. First, the vegetables are cooked in the bacon fat. Then, the bacon is used a second time as cooked bite-sized pieces to add texture and even more flavor to the soup.
Creamy Asparagus Soup
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 3 ribs celery, chopped
- 3 cups chopped asparagus spears (woody parts chopped or peeled beforehand)
- 1 large russet potato, peeled
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 2 Tbsp fresh parsley (plus more for garnish)
- Add the bacon to a large pot and cook over medium heat until crispy.
- Remove the bacon and set aside for garnish later (retain the bacon fat in the pot for flavor!)
- Add the butter, onions, celery and asparagus to the pot and cook over medium heat until onions are soft, about 7 minutes.
- Add the potatoes, parsley and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, until potatoes are soft.
- Allow to cool, then transfer in batches to a Magic Bullet pitcher and blend until smooth.
- Transfer the soup back to the pan and add the pepper. Reheat and serve warm and topped with crumbled bacon.

Potato and Leek Soup
This potato and leek soup is a fresh, easy soup to throw together, even on the busiest of busy weeknights. Chopped onion and leek are sautéed in butter, then cubed potatoes and vegetable broth are added to the pot and cooked for about 20 minutes until the potatoes are nice and soft. Then, just use the Magic Bullet to purée the soup into creamy deliciousness.
I like to use crumbled bacon and fresh chopped chives for garnish, because I love the addition of these flavors to the soup. What other toppings would you like to try?
Potato and Leek Soup
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 3 leeks, thinly sliced
- 1 russet potato, peeled and cubed
- 3 cups vegetable stock
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 cup freshly chopped chives, for garnish
- 1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon, for garnish
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat and add the onion and leek. Cook over low heat until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the potatoes and stock and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 20 minutes, until potatoes are soft.
- Allow the soup to cool, then transfer to a Magic Bullet pitcher and blend in batches until smooth.
- Transfer back to the pot and reheat. Stir in the salt and pepper.
- Garnish with crumbled bacon and chives when serving.

Creamy Artichoke Heart Soup
Did you know the artichokes are one of my favorite Spring vegetables? I am so excited to see them in abundance in the grocery stores right now. On my vacation last month, I had the most amazing artichoke soup at a restaurant one night. I loved it so much that I decided to make it again. This recipe uses frozen artichoke hearts instead of canned, because they are healthier and contain less sodium. Make sure you thaw them before trying to purée them in your Magic Bullet. If you need more liquid, you can add more chicken broth to each batch that you purée.
Don't forget to have some fresh lemon slices handy to serve with the soup so you can squeeze them over the top. Artichokes and lemon juice go great together!
Creamy Artichoke Heart Soup
- 1 1/2 lbs frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
- 1 cup water
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 cups chicken broth
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. black pepper
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- 1 lemon
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a large pot and add the garlic.
- Add the thawed artichoke hearts to a Magic Bullet pitcher in 4 batches, using ¼ cup water with each (you can also use the chicken broth if it is not enough liquid). Purée each batch well, then transfer to the pot.
- Add the chicken broth, salt and pepper and bring to a boil.
- Turn the heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Serve warm in bowls and stir in 2 tbsp heavy cream.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and squeeze a lemon wedge over the top of the soup if desired.

Coconut Lentil Stew
It's still cold out and this weather definitely makes me crave comfort food. But doesn't "comfort food" too often mean greasy food? I like greasy food as much as the next guy, but I don't necessarily find food comforting just because it's greasy. This coconut lentil stew, on the other hand, is comforting, and extremely easy to make, and also vegan, so that's good if you're a vegan who wants comfort food, or really anyone who wants comfort food since meat eaters also eat vegans. – I mean, eat vegan food…
This recipe, adapted from food52, works extremely well in either a slow cooker or a pot, which makes it a wonderful weeknight dinner in either case. There might be something better than coming home from work to a gurgling pot of coconut lentil stew, but there probably aren't that many things that are better. You finish the whole thing with a tadka – sautéed mustard seeds and onion – that you stir in at the very end, because doesn't that sound good?
Coconut Lentil Stew
- 3 cups lentils, any kind, preferably Indian
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 onion
- 1 14-oz can tomatoes
- ½ tsp. red pepper
- 2 tsp. cumin
- 1 tsp. coriander
- ½ tsp. turmeric
- 1 Tbsp salt
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp. mustard seeds
- ½ onion, chopped
- 10 fresh, frozen, or dried curry leaves (optional)
- 1 14-oz can coconut milk (can be light)
- Blend garlic, onion, and tomatoes in Magic Bullet.
- To either a pot or a slow cooker, add seven cups water with all ingredients except the mustard seeds, the chopped onion, and half the oil. In the slow cooker, cook for eight hours on low; in a pot, boil for thirty minutes.
- Just before serving, add remaining oil, mustard seeds, and onion to a pan. Cook over medium-high heat until beginning to brown, about five to ten minutes. Stir into stew and serve over rice.
Tortilla Soup
A friend of mine gave me this tortilla soup recipe, which has become a regular weekday dish in my house. When I first tried it at her house, I could not believe it was made from scratch! It tasted just like it was from a restaurant. After she explained the recipe to me, I was even more surprised at how easy it is to make at home. It only requires a few simple ingredients. I love topping it with tortilla chips and cheese, which melts over the hot soup. This soup is a great way to use up extra cooked chicken in the refrigerator – just shred it by hand and throw it in. If you like your soup on the mild side, you can skip or decrease the crushed chili peppers.
Tortilla Soup
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tsp. cumin
- 1/2 tsp. crushed chili peppers
- 1 Tbsp fresh cilantro
- 1/2 14 oz can Mexican stewed tomatoes
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cooked chicken breast, shredded
- Shredded Mexican blend cheese, for topping
- Tortilla chips, for topping
- Heat the vegetable oil over medium heat in a large pot.
- Add the chopped onions and garlic, and cook until the onions are translucent.
- Stir in the cumin and chili peppers, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the tomatoes and cilantro, stir, and shut off the heat.
- Let cool, then transfer to a Magic Bullet blender pitcher and blend until smooth.
- Add the chicken broth to the pot and bring to a boil.
- Add the soup back to the pot and stir well. Add the chicken and heat through.
- Top the soup with cheese and tortilla chips.

Quick Broccoli Cheese Soup
Some days, I really want soup, but don't want to spend the time it usually takes to make it. One day, I was craving this broccoli cheese soup and realized it can be made quickly and easily with the Magic Bullet. The longest step is cooking the broccoli florets, but after they're done, you just need to toss them and the rest of the soup ingredients into a Magic Bullet cup and blend. The soup stays warm from the just-cooked broccoli and can be eaten warm right away. This recipe only makes a cup of soup for one, but you can double this recipe to serve two people.
Quick Broccoli Cheese Soup
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/2 Tbsp chopped onion
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tsp chicken boullion
- Boil the broccoli florets in a small pot for 10 minutes, or until tender. Drain well.
- Let the broccoli cool a bit and add, along with remaining ingredients, to a Magic Bullet cup and blend until smooth.
Makes 1 cup soup
Curried Lentil Dip
I love dips, but most of the time they're really unhealthy! What makes this curried lentil dip so great is that it's actually very healthy for you, but you wouldn't even know it. Lentils are cooked with onion, carrots, celery and tomatoes, and then blended together to make a creamy dip. The fresh cilantro on top gives it even more flavor. This dip tastes great with tortilla chips!
Curried Lentil Dip
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 onion, peeled and chopped
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 large carrot, peeled and chopped
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 1 cup dry lentil beans
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 Tbsp curry powder
- ½ tsp black pepper (add more to taste)
- Pinch crushed red pepper
- Fresh cilantro for topping
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, and add the onions, celery and garlic. Cook until onions are translucent.
- Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the lentils and cook for 40 minutes, then add the carrots, tomatoes, curry powder and peppers.
- Cook for another 20 minutes, or until lentils are tender.
- Let the lentils cool, then blend in a Magic Bullet blender using the small cup.
- Top the warm dip with fresh cilantro just before serving.

Curried Carrot Soup
This recipe is inspired by a friend of mine who loves curry more than anyone I know. He sprinkles curry on just about everything and always eats with it by his side at the dinner table. Curry pairs very well with carrots and I found that this creamy carrot soup tastes even better when it is spiced up with some curry powder. The secret to the nice texture of the soup is the addition of one small potato. Top the warm soup with a cold dollop of tangy yogurt to complete your dish.
Curried Carrot Soup
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 lb carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 small potato, peeled and chopped
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 2 Tbsp curry powder
- Optional: dash of cayenne pepper (if you like it hot!)
- Plain yogurt, for topping
- Heat a pot over medium heat and add the butter.
- Add the chopped onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the carrots and potato, then the spices.
- Mix the vegetables well with the spices, then add the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- Cover and turn down the heat to medium-low and cook for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove the lid and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the soup once cooled to a Magic Bullet cup and blend until puréed and smooth.
- Transfer back to the pot and reheat.
- Serve warm with a dollop of yogurt on top.

In August of last year, I had salmorejo, a version of gazpacho from southern Spain, rich with bread and olive oil. I was eating tapas at Bar Eslava – a place where Tripadvisor reviews include statements like, "arguably the best meal of my life" – and bowls of this orange soup kept going by. I asked the couple next to me what it was, and they replied salmorejo with a puzzled look on their faces. Then I asked if it's good ("¿está bien?"), and their look changed from puzzlement to bafflement. "Si," ellos dijeron. "Está muy bien."
Translation: the best tomato soup of your life. And easy, too.
This is a no cook gazpacho, with just a soak in boiling water to stand in for cooking, so really the quality of the soup depends on the quality of the tomatoes. Luckily, that's no problem this time of year.
As it turns out, the Magic Bullet was made for tapas. The large container is the perfect size for an appetizer portion for two. Feel free to double the recipe or more. It's traditional to serve this with a chopped hard boiled egg and a drizzle of oil. I've dramatically reduced the amount of olive oil that is typically used in the dish itself, because I find the dish to be just too rich, but feel free to add more if you want the authentic Spanish experience.
- 1 large tomato
- 2 oz white bread, ripped into large pieces (baguette)
- 1/8 small onion
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 small clove garlic
- 1 tsp sherry or balsamic vinegar, plus a drizzle
- 1 tbl olive oil (or more)
1 hard boiled egg, chopped, for serving
black pepper, for serving
- Place tomato, bread, onion, salt, and garlic in Magic Bullet and cover with boiling water. Let sit for at least 20 minutes and up to an hour.
- Drain vegetables, squeezing water from bread and reserving 1/4 cup soaking liquid.
- Add reserved soaking liquid, oil, and vinegar. Blend until smooth.
- Serve, topped with chopped egg and black pepper, and a drizzle of vinegar.
Black Bean Soup
I recently discovered an exciting new soup recipe! It is a black bean soup, which sounds boring at first, but there are many ingredients that make it incredibly flavorful and delicious. This soup is great for lunch because it's really filling and will give you the energy you need to get through the rest of your day. I like to serve it with a dollop of sour cream, fresh cilantro and tortilla chips. If you like your soups on the spicy side, you can add more cayenne pepper. You can also control the texture by reserving the desired amount of soup before blending it, or by pulsing the Magic Bullet blender versus letting it run.
Black Bean Soup
- 1 Tbsp canola oil
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 celery ribs, chopped
- 1/2 large red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 can black beans, undrained
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- Sour cream for topping
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the onion, garlic, celery and bell pepper and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- Add the beans, salt, chili powder, cumin and cayenne pepper and stir.
- Remove the pot from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Add the desired amount of soup to a Magic Bullet pitcher and pulse or blend to the texture you want (blend more soup and longer for a smoother texture).
- Pour the soup back into the pot and reheat before serving.
- Top with sour cream and fresh cilantro.
Serves 2

I've said this before, but it deserves to be said again - I love Valletta. Not in a patriotic, so proud to be Maltese way - I just find the place so inspiring, every nook and cranny, every new restaurant / shop / cafe that opens, the old shop signs, the people in the road, the houses - both the newly restored and the falling to pieces. There's just so much character in that place.
For this outfit shoot, we used the area around the Renzo Piano Steps and the steps themselves. The clean lines and neutral surroundings compliment the patterns and colours found in this outfit without clashing. The lights around the steps combined with the fact that it was nighttime made it feel a bit more dreamy. I'm wearing a total Roberto Cavalli look via Rebelli from the new A/W 2015 collection.

Controlled Ambipolar Charge Transport Through a Self-Assembled Gold Nanoparticle Monolayer
An active mechanism for controlling ambipolar charge transport is developed based on self-assembled monolayers of gold nanoparticles. Electron and hole currents are manipulated by controlling the gate bias in order to overcome the intrinsic material limitations. The endurance and retention measurements confirm that this method exhibits good electrical reliability and stability. This solution process approach has potential for applications in large-area printed electronic devices.

Yeah, this isn't a scandal. The Xbox 360's initial failure rate was a scandal, since that was at least 20% and possibly over 50%.
The Xbox 360's initial failure rate wasn't that bad, roughly 1.5% of consoles failed within the first 24 hours. It was the longterm failure rate that was appalling. The RROD was primarily an overheating problem where the GPU was running so hot that it was causing micro-fractures in the solder connecting it to the board, with the board itself warping in some cases. That was a problem which came about only with extended use and wouldn't have caused problems for most people in the first week.
The key thing that many people on gaming sites are missing with the Blue Line of Death is that there's a difference between early failures in an electronic product and longterm failures, and that those two things are not necessarily connected (although they could be). Early product failures are usually due to issues with the manufacturing process where a certain percentage of units are always going to be defective. Those defective units will fail early, but the non-defective majority should have a normal lifespan if the product itself is well designed.
The BLOD, if it's a bigger problem than Sony are saying right now, is probably due to manufacturing issues that Sony can address on their end. The RROD was a design problem that required a product redesign to properly fix. It's far too early right now to tell if the PS4 has a similar design problem, we'll only find that out with time, early failures cannot reliably predict that.

Black rooms have gone mainstream, for good reason.
The likelihood knowing two people with black rooms in their homes is relatively high. Since I've written at least four pieces on black wall murals, kitchens and bathrooms, it's safe to say I'm a fan of the look. But ten years ago, a black room was something you'd expect at Cher's house – a Goth statement certainly. Today, midnight walls are mainstream. Why? High contrast = drama as this knockout bedroom with a wonderful fancy white shaped headboard, matching nightstands and mirrors by Domicile ID reveals. Black seems to work best in spaces where prime-time usage is after dark and bright light is not needed.… Continue Reading

In 2000, United Nations (UN) members unanimously embarked on a bold experiment with the initiation of 8 Millennium Challenge Goals (MCG) to tackle global poverty. Fifteen years on, that effort is touted as "the most successful global movement ever against poverty". The UN members have come together once again to outperform the previous effort, and chart a course for the next fifteen years with seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Hunger, nutrition, agricultural production, and threats to agriculture from disease, climate change, and drought formed international agricultural research collaborations that were critical to MCG success; and will continue to have a major role in the SDG.
ARS is a breeding ground for new science and scientists. Massaro Ueti, Research Medical Veterinary Officer and Don Knowles, Research Leader at the USDA-Animal Disease Research Unit in Pullman, Washington, mentored two high school students, Hannah Guillien and Isabella Vacca, on a novel tick biology experiment that landed among the top 15 Animal Science projects in a national competition. The girls used a new tick in vitro feeding system developed by Ueti and Knowles to test if the natural herb, lavender repelled ticks. The artificial tick feeder provides a more controlled environment for research than animal models. The girl's lavender tests showed the herb was an effective tick repellent, and safer than chemicals. Along the way, the students inspired Ueti to improve the tick feeding system by using and perfecting more natural membranes.

(Austin: University of Texas Press, 2002. Pp. 275. Acknowledgments, index.
ISBN 0-292-77118-5. $39.95, cloth.)
The recent proliferation of Texas political biographies reinforces a core belief
of many Texans: Our politicians, as a rule, loom larger than their counterparts
elsewhere. This holds true for our giants, such as LBJ and Sam Rayburn, and for
the lesser mortals who shaped our political landscape.
Texas Grant is an affectionate, comprehensive biography of Price Daniel,
whose Texas political career encompassed terms as Speaker of the House, attor-
ney general, United States senator, governor, and Supreme Court Justice. Be-
tween election to the Texas House in 1938 and resignation from the court forty
years later, Daniel's only losing race was a 1962 bid for a fourth term as gover-
nor. Daniel also served in the army in World War II and held appointive posi-
tions in the Johnson administration.
The author, Daniel's grandson, admires his subject, whom he portrays as an
exemplary family man, unabashed Texas patriot, able lawyer, and dedicated
public servant. Murph focuses on Daniel's leading role in several monumental
legal fights, including the tidelands controversy of the 1940s and 1950s, and
credits Daniel for Texas retaining the vast oil and gas reserves within three ma-
rine leagues of the coast (most states retained only one league). Daniel also par-
ticipated as attorney general and governor in landmark battles of the civil rights
era, unsuccessfully defending a segregated University of Texas Law School in
Sweatt v. Painter, and charting a course as governor (1957-1963) that avoided
many official abuses that plagued Deep South states. As evidence of his legal col-
leagues' respect, today's Texas Supreme Court building bears Daniel's name.
Texas Giant is a readable and well documented study of a leader who served
Texas at the highest level of all three branches of government. Its weakness,
which is also part of its appeal, is that the author's fondness for his grandfa-
ther-who died in 1988-limits critical analysis of Daniel's role in a turbulent
political era.

Pita Pete's: Best Restaurant in De Kalb
De Kalb isn't exactly a culinary oasis, and the best place to eat, the place I eat nearly every day, is definitely Pita Pete's. Though a fast-food joint, they serve healthy pitas filled with your choice of ingredients. They also have Ben & Jerry's ice cream. The interior of the place is always clean, and the service is fast. Pete himself is often running things.
Favorite Dish: My favorite pita: the Garden Pita with lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, kalamata olives, feta, and tahini. It's addictive.

DEFINITION of 'Must Be Filled - MBF'
A must be filled (MBF) order is a trade that must be executed due to expiring options or futures contracts on those exchanges. Many MBF orders are filled on the third Friday of each month because index options often expire on those days each month. MBF orders have the advantage of being exempt from short sale rules.
BREAKING DOWN 'Must Be Filled - MBF'
MBF orders must be put into the system by 5:30pm on the day before the expiration date. These orders then must be filled immediately at the opening of options or futures exchange on the following day, which is the expiration day. These orders must be filled at the opening price of the options or futures exchange.

A judge has ruled a domestic violence defendant's children will be able to see him while he is in jail.
However, Huron County Common Pleas Judge Jim Conway said the defendant, Robert E. Belt Jr., 25, of 110 Washington St., Willard, still isn't allowed to have any association with the female victim. Conway said he would amend his original no-contact order so the children can see Belt at the jail, but reminded the woman it's up to Huron County Jail officials if the children are allowed for visitations.
"I would like to be able to bring the kids up to the jail to see Robert. They haven't seen him since October," she said before the judge made his ruling Tuesday.
Belt has been unable to post a $15,000 bond. He is charged with domestic violence in connection with an Oct. 30 incident. If convicted, Belt faces nine months to three years in prison.
According to common pleas court records, there is a temporary protection order involving Belt in Norwalk Municipal Court.
Belt had inquired earlier about the no-association order being lifted, Huron County Public Defender David Longo said, but the suspected victim wasn't in court at the time.
"She would like it lifted," Longo added before the woman addressed Conway.
Belt's trial date is Sept. 30.
"This would be a two-day trial," Huron County Assistant Prosecutor Daivia Kasper said.
Also, Kasper said she and Longo haven't begun any plea negotiations, but the state is open to a deal.

Electric power utilities face relentless pressure on their financial performance, and reducing distribution grid losses is one of the last untapped opportunities to meet their business goals. Combining IoT-enabled sensors and cloud-based data analytics, utilities now are able to find, quantify and reduce losses faster – and with a smaller IT footprint. Solutions exist using Internet-enabled sensors deployed temporarily at strategic locations within the distribution grid to measure actual line loads.

The buzz continues for cloud, data analytics and the Internet of Things (IoT) and their collective impact across all industries. But a new conversation is emerging - how do companies use industry disruption and technology enablers to lead in markets undergoing change, uncertainty and ambiguity?

The Internet of Everything is re-shaping technology trends–moving away from "request/response" architecture to an "always-on" Streaming Web where data is in constant motion and secure, reliable communication is an absolute necessity. As more and more THINGS go online, the challenges that developers will need to address will only increase exponentially. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Todd Greene, Founder & CEO of PubNub, will explore the current state of IoT connectivity and review key trends and technology requirements that will drive the Internet of Things from hype to reality.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing rapidly by extending current technologies, products and networks. By 2020, Cisco estimates there will be 50 billion connected devices. Gartner has forecast revenues of over $300 billion, just to IoT suppliers. Now is the time to figure out how you'll make money – not just create innovative products. With hundreds of new products and companies jumping into the IoT fray every month, there's no shortage of innovation. Despite this, McKinsey/VisionMobile data shows "less than 10 percent of IoT developers are making enough to support a reasonably sized team....

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome," is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken. Without concrete business cases driving its deployment, IoT, like many other technologies before it, will fade into obscurity.

You have your devices and your data, but what about the rest of your Internet of Things story? Two popular classes of technologies that nicely handle the Big Data analytics for Internet of Things are Apache Hadoop and NoSQL. Hadoop is designed for parallelizing analytical work across many servers and is ideal for the massive data volumes you create with IoT devices. NoSQL databases such as Apache HBase are ideal for storing and retrieving IoT data as "time series data."

The IoT market is on track to hit $7.1 trillion in 2020. The reality is that only a handful of companies are ready for this massive demand. There are a lot of barriers, paint points, traps, and hidden roadblocks. How can we deal with these issues and challenges? The paradigm has changed. Old-style ad-hoc trial-and-error ways will certainly lead you to the dead end. What is mandatory is an overarching and adaptive approach to effectively handle the rapid changes and exponential growth.

These span across use cases in cities, vehicles, home, offices, factories, retail environments, worksites, health, logistics, and health. These use cases rely on ubiquitous connectivity and generate massive amounts of data at scale. These technologies enable new business opportunities, ways to optimize and automate, along with new ways to engage with users.

There will be 20 billion IoT devices connected to the Internet soon. What if we could control these devices with our voice, mind, or gestures? What if we could teach these devices how to talk to each other? What if these devices could learn how to interact with us (and each other) to make our lives better? What if Jarvis was real? How can I gain these super powers? In his session at 17th Cloud Expo, Chris Matthieu, co-founder and CTO of Octoblu, will show you!

Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of at least three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the backend big-data service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target - this makes the integration of these separate pipelines and the coordination of software upd...

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

Sunny afternoon, spend it on the roof terrace of this place and you will have a great view over the city and the atlas mountains. Friendly staff, good coffee, just enjoy
Once you get through the maze of stalls in the souk, you may be so lucky as we were to find ourselves right near the Café des Epîces. We came back each day for a relaxing, delicious meal.
Cafe des Espices on Place des Espices is a great place to stop for a quick drink, rest your weary feet and watch the bustling square infront of you. It also has a clean and well-stocked loo! However, my favourite eating place in Marrakech is its sister restaurant Terraces des Espices. This is situated close to Cafe Arabe and is a rooftop restaurant with tables to sit and eat in the sun, with great views over the rooftops to the snow-capped Atlas Mountains beyond. If its chilly you park yourself in one of their little nooks and cosy up. Highly recommend having the chicken pastilla, the sardine tart and the goats cheese salad - all of which are excellent. No alcohol served here, but the fresh juices are wonderful and they make a good cappucino too. Service is excellent and the staff and friendly, helpful and a delight. Will always go back here . . .
This place is simple in decor, but provides superb service, food and drink to the extent that I rate it one of the best in Marrakech. Run very efficiently by a young team with views of life on the sqaure outside. Relaxing place, well worth hunting out.
Okay, honestly I cannot remember if I ate here or not (because I ate at quite a few places along the square...all delicous!). But this place stands out in my mind as having a great view of Jemaa el-Fna! For anyone, like myself, who is hesitant to take pics/video while actually down in the square, a cafe like this is what you need to seek out. Order some mint tea (mmmmm), sit, relax, listen to the noise & take all the pics you want. Enjoy Marrakech! It's an amazing place!

YouTube Downloader Portable
editor's review
1 comment
There are various software solutions out there for downloading videos from the Internet and the majority of them are alike, providing more or less the same set of features. YouTube Downloader Portable is one of the many tools dedicated to grabbing videos from the Internet and save them to your computer, so that you can play them on other devices or using other applications.
All the functions and the configuration options are comprised within a single window, with a clean and well-organized layout. You can enter the video URL manually or simply paste it in the designated section (clipboard monitoring is not available, unlike other similar tools), select the output file type and the video quality, choose the download speed and select the default destination folder for the downloaded files.
One of its main advantages is the variety of output formats that is supports. It can save the video in the original MP4 format, in high-definition (MP4, at 1080p or 720p), high-quality or low-quality FLV, iPod compatible formats (MP4, at 480p), 3GP (high or low quality, compatible with most mobile phones). The download speed is also customizable, with a maximum of 12X.
In addition to this, the application comes with a built-in video conversion tool that allows you to save the videos to your computer in another format than the above-mentioned ones, namely AVI (compatible with most video players), MPEG (supported by DVD players) and MP4 (to play the video on iPods)..
The conversion is performed while the file downloads, so you don't have to wait for the download process to finish first. Additionally, the application enables you to extract the audio stream of the input video and save it locally in MP3 format.
To conclude with, YouTube Downloader Portable provides you with a fast ans simple method for grabbing videos from YouTube. It features relatively high downloading and conversion speed and it does not pose any problems to any user, regardless of their experience.
Also available: YouTube Downloader

The Boathouse
So, one of my favorite shops for homes in Second Life over the last many years has been L2 Studio. I've always appreciated the craftsman ship, unique floor plans, texture work, and the affordable cost of these great homes. I should also mention that Lindini2 Lane has always been one of the nicest folks I've had the pleasure of coming across on the grid. Anytime I've briefly bumped into her, she's been sweet, kind, and cordial. What's better than supporting a creator you admire?
The Boathouse is L2 Studio's newest release and it's so charming! It's two levels, with multiple rooms, and fantastic deck space for you to wander and enjoy. The home is versatile in the fact that you could use it on a coastal beach sim, but also find a way to use it in a wooded forest on a river or lake.
If the boathouse isn't your thing, L2 Studio has countless other offerings at their mainstore location. Stop in, and check out what they have for sale. You would be amazed by the variety Lindini has to offer!

I'm rewriting parts of one of my old projects. I've written a
Texture class which loads a file from disk, and stores the data as an array of
unsigned char (using an external lib, so using a
vector<unsigned char> isn't an option).
main() I load my textures and pass them onto a
Scene object. Since textures can be large and the same texture can be shared between multiple objects I'm creating a bunch of
std::shared_ptr<Texture>s before passing them to
The problem originally was that the destructor of Texture would be called twice and cause malloc to complain about the pointer being freed not being allocated (external lib is using malloc, so again, it's out of my hands). After some investigation with printing out to console, it seems that the textures are being copied via the copy constructor and then destroyed immediately afterwards. I thought the point of
shared_ptr was to not copy objects but to increment the reference count.
Here's a minimal
main() where I create one
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
std::shared_ptr<Texture> up(std::make_shared<Texture>("textures/lakeup.png"));
return 0;
Here is the class
class Texture
Texture(const std::string&)
std::cout << "Texture::Texture() for " << this << std::endl;
Texture(const Texture& other)
std::cout << "Texture::Texture(const Texture&) for " << this << std::endl;
std::cout << "Texture::~Texture() for " << this << std::endl;
And finally, here is the console output for this code (updated to only load one Texture):
Texture::Texture() for 0x7fff5fbff808
Texture::Texture(const Texture&) for 0x7fff5fbff820
Texture::Texture(const Texture&) for 0x608000043228
Texture::~Texture() for 0x7fff5fbff820
Texture::~Texture() for 0x7fff5fbff808
Texture::~Texture() for 0x608000043228
I am confused about why the copy constructors are called at all immediately after
make_shared and why not
shared_ptrs copy constructor, which should just increment a reference count. Thanks in advance.
Updated with a minimal version. It's interesting to note that
std::make_shared<Texture>() doesn't seem to work with 0 arguments, which is why I've left the
std::string in for now. I get a compilation error
make_shared_object.hpp on line 711 in function
make_shared( A1 const & a1 ).
Another thing I've noticed is that replacing
make_shared<Texture>("") with
new Texture("") behaves as expected:
Texture::Texture() for 0x60800022fd20
Texture::~Texture() for 0x60800022f640
It works but it's not very satisfactory if I leave without understanding what
make_shared is actually doing.
I'm using XCode 5.1.1 which seems to correspond to llvm/clang 5.1.
