In his session at @ThingsExpo, Tony Shan, Chief Architect at CTS, will explore the synergy of Big Data and IoT. First he will take a closer look at the Internet of Things and Big Data individually, in terms of what, which, why, where, when, who, how and how much. Then he will explore the relationship between IoT and Big Data. Specifically, he will drill down to how the 4Vs aspects intersect with IoT: Volume, Variety, Velocity and Value. In turn, Tony will analyze how the key components of IoT influence Big Data: Device, Connectivity, Context, and Intelligence. He will dive deep to the matrix...

When it comes to IoT in the enterprise, namely the commercial building and hospitality markets, a benefit not getting the attention it deserves is energy efficiency, and IoT's direct impact on a cleaner, greener environment when installed in smart buildings. Until now clean technology was offered piecemeal and led with point solutions that require significant systems integration to orchestrate and deploy. There didn't exist a 'top down' approach that can manage and monitor the way a Smart Building actually breathes - immediately flagging overheating in a closet or over cooling in unoccupied ho...

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."

Clearly the way forward is to move to cloud be it bare metal, VMs or containers. One aspect of the current public clouds that is slowing this cloud migration is cloud lock-in. Every cloud vendor is trying to make it very difficult to move out once a customer has chosen their cloud. In his session at 17th Cloud Expo, Naveen Nimmu, CEO of Clouber, Inc., will advocate that making the inter-cloud migration as simple as changing airlines would help the entire industry to quickly adopt the cloud without worrying about any lock-in fears. In fact by having standard APIs for IaaS would help PaaS expl...

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...

Designed to Reduce the Risk of a Subsequent Stroke
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- St. David's HealthCare today announced the launch of The TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack) Center for Stroke Prevention at St. David's Medical Center -- the first of its kind in Central Texas -- in an effort to reduce the significant risk of a subsequent stroke after TIA.
A TIA is a "warning stroke" or "mini stroke" that produces stroke-like symptoms but no lasting damage. Recognizing and treating TIAs can reduce a patient's risk of a major stroke.
"We've developed a timely and seamless clinical protocol to manage Transient Ischemic Attacks, to promote patient education and, ultimately, to prevent a subsequent full-blown stroke," Kent Ellington, M.D., medical director for St. David's Medical Center's Stroke Program, said. "Recent studies show an 18 to 25 percent incidence of stroke following a TIA, with half of the strokes occurring within the first 48 hours; this clearly illustrates the need to identify the patient's risk factors, monitor them and educate them on healthy lifestyle changes ahead of time."
TIAs occur when a blood clot temporarily clogs an artery, and as a result, part of the brain does not get the blood it needs. The symptoms occur rapidly and last a relatively short time, usually less than five minutes. Unlike a stroke, when a TIA is over, there is no permanent injury to the brain, with symptoms dissipating quickly.
The TIA Center for Stroke Prevention at St. David's Medical Center,
housed within the existing facility, will offer a new approach to assessing
and treating patients suffering from a TIA. When a patient visits the
emergency room with symptoms of TIA, they will immediately be scored to
determine stroke risk. A TIA protocol will be initiated with a
standardized, cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment pathway completed
within a short period of time. Fifty to 70 percent of patients with TIA
will remain in

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 8
Skin Benefits
Posted By: Brandan Thomas (O)
Hey everyone. It has been a while. Two questions: Has anyone on the ER4YT food plan notice an improvement in skin texture. I used to get lots of pimples and whiteheads. They seem to have disappeared. Could this be from eating the proper foods from my blood type? A co-worker (AB+) has experienced the same thing.
Also, I have a neighbor whose child has sickle-cell anemia. He may be either O or B (waiting for confirmation). Any suggestions on what supplements to take or if the Blood Type food plan will help the little guy. Please answer soonest!
Health problems? Don't gripe! Eat Right For Your Type!!

Celebrating Engineers Week
The Science Museum of Minnesota is delighted to work with the Minnesota Chapter of the Society of Women Engineers for the annual kick-off to National Engineers Week (February 22 – 28, 2015).
This year, engineers from around the Twin Cities and volunteers from the Science Museum will help young visitors with up to 5 experiments.
Spark (Electrical Engineering) - Steady Hands
Young visitors will explore the fundamentals of electricity. They build an electrical circuit that includes an energy source, resistance, a light and a switch. The completed assembly is also a steady hand game that they will have fun playing and demonstrating to family and friends.
Slime (Chemical Engineering) – Slime
Is it a solid? Is it a liquid? Just what is this slimy, stringy, rubbery stuff? This polymer is unique because it has qualities of both a solid and a liquid. It can take the shape of its containers like a liquid does, yet you can hold it in your hand and pick it up like a solid. As you might know, solid molecules are tight together, liquid molecules spread out and break apart (drops) polymer molecules chain themselves together (they can stretch and bend like chains) and that makes them special.
Speed (Mechanical Engineering) – Straw Rockets
Curiosity about what lies beyond our home planet led to the first rocket launches from Earth and to many exploration missions since. Using simple materials (soda straws and paper), students will experience the processes involved in engineering a rocket. Conducting engineering tests, students will have the opportunity to answer a research question by collecting and analyzing data related to finding out the best nose cone length and predicting the motion of their model rockets.
Additional Experiment – Electroscopes
Have you ever noticed that some types of clothes are more susceptible to static cling than others? For example, a wooly sweater can have a lot of static cling, but clothing made out of cotton doesn't cling nearly as much. How well do other materials around the house produce static electricity? In this science activity you'll explore this by making a simple, homemade electroscope (an instrument that detects electric charges) and testing it out. The results may shock you!
Additional Experiment – Kalimba (Thumb Piano)
Young visitors will explore the fundamentals of sound through the vibration of metal and wood. Each visitor builds their own thumb piano and has the opportunity to discover the concepts of vibration, frequency and pitch.
Spark, Slime and Speed is a partnership with:

If you use POP or another alternative process, you can contact print with the sun, like AndyK says. In general, these processes require substantially denser negs than you would use for enlarging paper, and somewhat denser than you would use for Azo. Here are three negs in printing frames being exposed to the sun for albumen printing--
I find the negs that print best in albumen take about an hour to expose in shade, and about 15-20 minutes in direct sun.

Dear officer: Thanks for the ticket ... really
Carlton, I'm sorry you got a ticket. Thanks for writing about it. Your experience could make me a safer driver. We all need a reminder once in a while.
My experience with tickets is this: I never got one I didn't deserve. I got three speeding tickets from about 1980 to 1990, then I got smart. I slowed down. No more tickets.
Every police officer who has ever stopped me as been totally professional. Personally I wish there were more of them on the roads. I see examples of dangerous, stupid driving every day - outrageous speeding, ignoring stop signs and blocking pedestrian crosswalks at intersections. Oh, I almost forgot - running red lights. I'm not talking about venturing into an intersection with a yellow light. I mean seeing that the light is red and ignoring it.
If anything, law-enforcement is too lenient in Georgia. The infractions I mention would not be tolerated in some other states, such as New Jersey and Virginia.
Driving is a privilege. When we drive, we're in control of a potentially deadly weapon. If we get a ticket occasionally, take responsibility for your actions and don't snivel. If you feel the officer made a mistake, you can't always request your day in court.

Congratulations, Mr. Braswell, on finally getting some recognition for your valor. Your service in the National Guard is enough to earn my respect. Your valor in combat elevates you to hero status in my opinion.
As a retired guardsman, I find it hard to believe that the Georgia Army National Guard would not have presented the award during a ceremony. Of course, we all know the military has it's share of snafus. Was it a problem with the Army or the National guard? The story doesn't say.
I wish the newspaper had contacted the Army and the National Guard for an explanation, particularly since there were critical comments in the story.
Isn't getting both sides of an issue a basic journalistic principle?

Re: Sanitary pads
Dear Cathy and all,
This is a remarkable initiative especially great because of the steps and important role you play at helping the young girls stay at school rather than home with cowdung between their legs.
An Organisation based in Nairobi called FAMILIA's Center for Youth Empowerment (http://www.familiacare.org/youthhealth.htm) is currently empowering about 300 youths, mostly needy girls through skills training. The youths are also involved in sexuality education and peer counseling. One of the plights the youth educators realized from disadvantaged girls is the lack of sanitary towel for menses management. The project assist thousands of girls stay in school during their menstrual period. Most families cant afford to supply their Adolescent girls with sanitary pads During their monthly period, these girls opt to unsuitable methods of containing their menstrual flow; cow dung,old clothes and pieces of blanket or rags, toilet paper or even leaves. Some girls from poor communities do not use anything at all. Obviously, the methods used by these girls are unhygienic. They do not sufficiently contain menstrual flow, they may lead to unlikable odours and they depressingly affect a girl's confidence and expose her to ridicule and exclusion by her peers. Such a girl may pull out from fully participation in class and extra curricular activities. A big number of girls simply omit school during their period and this translates to an average girl losing over a full month of schooling in a given year. Besides, the lack of sufficient water for menstruation management remains a challenge in many schools.
Many schools in underprivileged areas lack sufficient sanitation facilities which are vital not only during a girl's period but at all times generally. These embrace enough water, adequate toilet facilities and appropriate dumping facilities for sanitary wear. Again, many menstruating girls would rather wish to stay at home due to lack of facilities to help them manage their periods than go to school.
These aspects certainly affect the academic attainment of many disadvantaged girls and hamper their fulfillment of the right to education.
Familia design and make re-usable sanitary towels thus offering a cheap alternative at the same time offering job opportunities to slum girls. The design consists of an outer shell made of waterproof material and whatever suitable fabric is readily available. A padding made of absorbent cotton material is inserted into the shell. They recommend the girls to make additional seven to nine of these inner cotton materials, which they can wear and wash. In actual fact, commercially made, disposable sanitary towels are more ideal, but it is worth to recognise also recognize that many girls cannot afford to use them, and this is an alternative to the other unsuitable menstrual management methods.
Perhaps this is an Organisation that you can network and work side by side with.

Posted by: "cathy stubington" cathys@...
Tue Nov 11, 2008 11:18 am (PST)Hello,
Just a short description of our project of sanitary pad provision:
It was the beginning of a village partnership between a village in Nyanza and our rural community here in British Columbia Canada.
I received a request to help with the need for sanitary supplies in order to keep girls attending school regularly.
We began to raise money so that we could keep 60 girls supplied with disposable pads each month. (Kotex Always pads)
Alongside this the young man I work with enlisted the help of a local nurse, who gathered the girls for learning and discussion sessions on menstrual health, reproductive health, and gender issues.
(A valuable side benefit is that the participation and performance of girls in the school has increased tremendously! !!! )
But with this we became more and more aware of the unsustainability of the disposable pads - not only in terms of money, but also that we were promoting a product that creates a whole lot of garbage. Such products are not questioned enough here where we have garbage disposal systems which do nothing but temporarily hide the problem that is being created!
So instead we researched designs for washable pads, and financed the purchase of two sewing machines and an overlock machine, and fabric. A tailor in the village volunteered to use this opportunity to teach some girls to sew. There was still a problem that the girls would have to walk home if they needed to change during the day. So the School and village identified the need for a Girls' Changing Room at the school. This is presently being built, and it will have taps connected to a rain collection container. The room will also house a small sewing school, where both sanitary pads and school uniforms will be made. Thus several girls will also be acquiring a useful income-generating skill.
The system is not yet perfect, especially in rainy season - each girl/woman needs enough pads to last through her period. But this is being worked through gradually. We hope that the project will also benefit women in the village who have the same issue.
A large community-based NGO working in Ethiopia has now taken this up having learned about our project; they are doing an extensive research into how many pads are needed and the economics of making washable pads.
yours Cathy S
British Columbia Canada

Going to see a horse in about 20 mins...Opinions welcome..
Going to see this mare in about 20 mins for my aunt. Would be used for trails and we would trailer her to the trainer for lessons as well.
This is what the seller has to say about her:
Bell is a 16yr old reg. paint mare solid.
Stands about 15.3 hands
Good for vet farrier loads and unloads her self. clips and ties.
Rides western and english.
Has hunter saddle points with the APHA.
Nice head set. Shownmanship delxue.
Also will go on trails,has been used in lesson programs.
Very sweet and willing mare !
Great in the stall or in the field.
Easy keeper !
Mr. Painted world x the lady tramp
Not the best pics, from the seller, will take more pics and possible video if I can get someone to take it.
She looks like a sweetie! I am not a confo expert,but I don't see anything terrible jumping out at me.
Nice looking Appy! A bit long in the back but just from those pictures she looks nicely conformed otherwise.
How did it go?
That's a nice looking horse. I hope it worked out for you. She is really very appealing.
Did not go well. The horse was very nice, drove a hour and a half to ride and see her. She was great and we made the arrangements to go pick her up the next day.
I get home, check my email about 2 hours later to find an email from the seller (younger 16 year oldish girl) saying that someone showed up with a trailer and better offer so she sold her.
Sorry to hear that. That is one reason I like to take a trailer with me - or at least leave a substantial deposit.
In any case, the seller should have given you the courtesy of a call and giving you the option of meeting the price.
Gut feeling only - seller decided to keep horse.
money in hand trumps a "I'll come back tomorrow" It shouldnt but just so many people dont show up the first time or dont come back or dont call when they say, I'll call you. I pretty much wont hold anything unless they have put down a deposit.
Saying that, If you had put down a deposit to guarantee a deal, I wouldnt entertain additional offers. Nor would I sell it to someone that shows up with a higher offer.
As a fellow buyer, that really sucks, sorry that happened to you.
As a current seller, sorry if you are in my yard with money and a trailer the horse is yours. I truly can't believe how people treat sellers. Once I get these guys gone I hope I never have to sell on the open market again.

Just the mention of Nicci Gilbert's name causes some tension during Part 2 of the "R&B Divas: ATL" reunion.
When host Wendy Williams questions KeKe Wyatt about Nicci, KeKe admits that she misses her former co-star.
"I love Nicci and Nicci is my friend to me," said KeKe. However, Monifah Carter wasn't so vocal when the question was addressed to her. As a matter of fact, the newlywed sat there in silence, leaving Wendy, KeKe and gang to assume there's some lingering tension.
KeKe concluded the worst about Monifah's non-verbal response and that caused a bit of friction between the two friends. Was Wendy able to squash it?
Watch and tune in for more of the "R&B Divas: ATL" reunion Wednesday.

Extending from the river to the mountains, Victoria's High Country Brewery Trail is a 150km scenic drive to some truly lip-smacking hand-crafted beers. Visit Black Dog Brewery (Taminick), Bridge Road Brewers (Beechworth), Bright Brewery (Bright) and Sweetwater Brewing Company (Mount Beauty) to taste the difference in beers made with passion, the best ingredients and the pristine waters of Victoria's High Country.
See close up where the beers are brewed, and learn what goes into crafting a unique beer. You might even learn a secret or two from talking to the brewers themselves (or a nod in the right direction to their favourite local mountain biking tracks, another shared passion of theirs!). Family friendly, our breweries have great outdoor areas for that beer in the High Country sun.
The brewery trail drive also meanders past the Rostrevor Hops Gardens, visible from the Great Alpine Road at Eurobin. Here, hops has been growing in the foothills of Mount Buffalo since the 1890s. Brewing in hop production areas, our brewers have the opportunity to make a wet hop beer during the March harvest.
Download a pocket guide to the High Country Brewery Trail or pick one up from our Visitor Information Centres or one of the breweries.

Dr Olugbenga Mokuolu from the University of Ilorin in Nigeria, one of the trial collaborating centres, adds: "Severe malaria is a terrible burden on the African continent and across the developing world and we need the best treatments available to combat it. If half of the estimated eight million children annually who suffer from the disease could be treated with injectable artesunate, we could potentially save 100,000 young lives each year. For those of us who treat malaria in Africa, this trial is a turning point. Finally we have a better treatment to offer to our malaria patients."
The trial has been welcomed by Sir Mark Walport, Director of the Wellcome Trust, which supported both the original trial in Asia and the subsequent AQUAMAT study.
"This is an extremely important clinical trial of the treatment of malaria, showing improved survival of patients with severe malaria in Africa," says Sir Mark. "There are still many hurdles to overcome and we must be vigilant to protect against resistance to these new drugs and against a market in counterfeit drugs. But Professor White and colleagues have shown that we have the potential to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of children."

Is there any way I can use them in my grammer file to improve my error handling? How?

Good morning;
Just as a minor clarification on Mike's comment about a Minolta 35mm SLR camera with an "Auto mode:" On the camera itself, this "Auto mode" might be represented with the letter "P" for "Program" mode. This came out on the X-700 and was found on very few Minolta manual focus cameras. It is a truly "Automatic Point and Shoot" mode for exposure with only manual focusing being required. This is the only mode where the MD lenses are required for that mode to work, but there is a way to work around even that.
A possible point of confusion exists between the Minolta Rangefinder and the Minolta SLR cameras, because Minolta did use the "A" designation for "Automatic" mode on the Minolta Hi-Matic 9 where there is an "A" setting for the lens aperture control ring, and an "A" setting for the shutter speed control ring. If you use just one of them, it will give you either an aperture priority mode or a shutter speed priority mode, depending on which you have chosen. If you set the aperture ring to "A," you get to choose the shutter speed, "shutter priority," and the Hi-Matic 9 would set the aperture for you automatically according to what the light meter wanted.
The interesting part is what happens when you set "both" the aperture ring and the shutter speed ring to "A." Then the Hi-Matic 9 does work in what Minolta called an "Automatic" mode according to a built-in program in the camera. Today we would call this a "Program" mode.
Later Minolta provided further possible confusion because there is both an "A" and a "P" on the shutter speed dial on the Minolta X-700. The "A" is for "Aperture" priority mode.
