Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

Much of IT terminology is often misused and misapplied. Modernization and transformation are two such terms. They are often used interchangeably even though they mean different things and have very different connotations. Indeed, it is somewhat safe to assume that in IT any transformative effort is likely to also have a modernizing effect, and thus, we can see these as levels of improvement efforts. However, many businesses are being led to believe if they don't transform now they risk becoming ...

We booked this hotel through hotwire, and did not know what we were getting. Even after we found out the name and read the reviews were were not sure what were getting into. This boutique hotel definitely surprised us as it turned out much better than we expected. The check in process was smooth and the attendant very helpful. The room was clean, big and the bed very comfortable. There was free laundry which we took advantage off, and free wifi. The breakfast was simple and worked out well for us. Cereal, danish, muffins, toast, coffee, juice. The best part of the hotel was it's beautiful pool which was a great size. The weather was really good when we were there, so I was able to take full advantage of the pool. Also the hotel grounds had the most lovely garden and flowers, and was very well maintained and pretty. Check out was at 12pm, later than most hotels, which meant we were able to comfortably use the pool, shower and leave. We almost wanted to stay another day in Pasadena because of how comfortable we were at the hotel. The location was very good, right across the library, with many restaurants in the immediate vicinity. Will definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Pasadena.

What is the idiom that can describe the action of making fun of somebody's already sensitive and weak spot for which s/he is already troubled or ashamed?
For instance, mocking somebody about his/her bankruptcy, past crime history, etc.
What is the idiom that can describe the action of making fun of somebody's already sensitive and weak spot for which s/he is already troubled or ashamed?
For instance, mocking somebody about his/her bankruptcy, past crime history, etc.
If you mock someone's misery, you rub salt into their wounds, described in the Oxford Learner's Dicionary as:
This Dictionary of Idioms gives a fuller definition and example:
And two examples from the media, where rubbing salt into the wound specifically means mocking someone's misfortune:
The idiom add insult to injury is broadly used for the context:
Or add fuel to the fire could be a good candidate:
[McGraw-Hill Dictionary of American Idioms and Phrasal Verbs]
The phrase "kicking a man when he's down" comes to mind.
This specifically touches on doing something to exacerbate suffering which should be sufficient on its own.
If you want to refer to deliberately attacking something that someone is sensitive about, you could say they deliberately touched a nerve
Alternatively, you could say they attacked his achilles heel
Both definitions from the OED
The response tends to be an angry one.
Rubbing their face in it.
You teach a dog (wrongly!) to not soil the carpet by "rubbing their faces in it." You would literally put the dogs face in their own mess. When you do this to a person for something they are ashamed of already -- you are "rubbing their face in it".
You may have touched a sore spot there.
One appropriate idiom might be hit where it hurts:
Another might be hit a nerve.
I'd suggest,
rub someone's nose in it
rub it in
dig up the dirt again/stir up the dirt [on someone]
I'd say it depends on the circumstances. If the person teasing means to stick it to the subject:
However, if the subject's been in prison for a violent crime and is more bitter and angry than depressed and sad because of that (hence being prone to erupt):
Sadism : A sadist is someone who enjoys inflicting pain on others
Although sadism is more used for inflicting physical pain, there is nothing to stop it being used for inflicting mental pain, bringing up things that people are trying to forget with the full knowledge that is causing them suffering is sadistic. How ever if somebody is bringing it up to stop one from falling in the same error again is different, so if the intent of mockery is to inflict pain then sadism seems to fit the bill.

AbstractImpact Technologies, in collaboration with Penn State Applied Research Laboratory, proposes to develop an advanced Battery Monitoring and Management System (BMMS) for lithium-ion battery packs that ensures adequate, safe, and reliable operation. This system will focus on real time diagnostics, prediction of catastrophic failure, and risk assessment for individual cells in high power applications. Intelligent cell monitoring will be developed to automate the cell interrogation based on risk and time to failure estimates. Phase I will strive to demonstrate the ability to detect failure modes, predict when they will reach condemning limits at the cell/module level in real time, and respond to such conditions by taking the appropriate module offline to prevent damage. The architecture for intelligent cell monitoring will also be designed based on the host platform and target battery. Phase II will then extend these developments for full size cells and multi-cell modules and develop a prototype system to regulate cells during charge and discharge cycles. In Phase III, we will conduct shipboard testing and suitability analysis of the modeled system. Commercialization and transition plans will be developed for full scale implementation along with user manuals, training guides, and support plans.

Donation Helps Fund Centennial Mall Revitalization

From left are Donna Kush, assistant vice president-Corporate Communications; Lincoln Mayor Chris Beutler; Nebraska Lt. Governor Lavon Heidemann; Brenda Mainwaring, director-Public Affairs; and Centennial Mall Campaign Leader Patty Pansing Brooks.
Union Pacific donated $500,000 toward the Nebraska Centennial Mall revitalization project during a ceremony held at the State Capitol Rotunda March 1 – Nebraska's Statehood Day.
UP's donation was part of a multi-agency effort to raise $9.6 million for creation of a new interactive educational system that will allow visitors to access in-depth information about historical sites, notable citizens and industries while touring Centennial Mall. The new system will be driven by QR (quick response) technology.
Funds also will be used to renovate the mall's "Spirit of Nebraska" pathway – a series of granite and bronze tiles placed along the twin walkways that run seven blocks between the Nebraska State Capitol and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Tiles recognize famous Nebraskans or individuals, organizations and businesses.
The project currently is 75 percent funded. The goal is to have the new Nebraska Centennial Mall built in time for the Nebraska Sesquicentennial in 2017.

"Were in such a state now, with our infrastructure so vulnerable, that we cant take a hit of any order."
Related quotes
"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable."
"We're never so vulnerable than when we trust someone - but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy"
"Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable."
"It became a $400-million hit. Most of that came from insurance losses, but also losses of infrastructure. And sadly, it cost four people their lives."
"Local, county and state officials responded very positively to REI locating in Bedford, which has a proven infrastructure for distribution facilities and has great proximity to our east coast retail locations."

SuiteWorld 2014: NetSuite talks channel recruitment, unveils new partner programme and products
Cloud-based software vendor NetSuite (NYSE: N) has laid out its plans for growth in Europe, citing further investment in channel recruitment, as well as a new European datacentre scheduled for early next year.
"We have a commitment to bringing on new partners and growing their business," says Martin Painter, who leads international business development at the firm, which provides financial, ERP and omnichannel commerce software via the cloud. "We are continuing to grow across the channel, and across the UK operation, which we wouldn't be doing if we weren't successful."
"We've almost doubled the number of people in the UK since I joined seven or eight months ago," adds John Campbell, EMEA channel director at NetSuite. "That includes a dedicated person for partner recruitment, as there have been so many enquiries."
The execs were speaking to Channel Pro about NetSuite's channel strategy at its annual SuiteWorld customer and partner event in San Jose last week. Partnering was a strong theme throughout the event, with COO Jim McGeever telling attendees: "NetSuite has by far the highest percent of their business delivered by partners than any other cloud company."
Meanwhile, Campbell spoke about the potential new business that NetSuite's planned new European datacentre will bring. He said the datacentre – which is scheduled to open late 2014 or early 2015 – will attract a raft of new customers in sectors which are bound by tight regulations over where their data is stored, such as government, legal and finance, as well countries like Germany, and some Middle Eastern countries that are sensitive to their data being stored in the US.
"It's a level of confidence; it's a sign of commitment," he maintains.
Landing punches
NetSuite has a reputation for not pulling any punches when it comes criticising its rivals' offerings, and CEO Zach Nelson's SuiteWorld keynote this year was no different, as he laid into Microsoft, SAP and Sage's growth figures in front of the 6,500 attendees.
He announced that NetSuite was the fastest growing financial management system (FMS) vendor globally in 2013, based on data from the Gartner report, Market Share: All Software Markets, Worldwide, 2013. He said NetSuite grew in excess of 40 percent in 2013, breaking into the analyst firm's list of top ten FMS providers worldwide.
Nelson went on to compare this to Microsoft's growth rate of five percent in the arena, Sage's less than one percent growth, and SAP minus 1.45 percent growth. "These guys give me so much material," he joked.
The firm also lays claim to being the fastest growing – in addition to the only pure cloud FMS vendor – among the top 20 FMS vendors in EMEA.
In the UK Sage has the lion's share of the FMS market, with NetSuite coming in ninth on the list, with 2.1 percent market share, according to Gartner. However, NetSuite has been quick to capitalise on Sage's unhurried move into the cloud, approaching their resellers with a 'pure cloud' alternative for their portfolios.
"If a partner doesn't have a cloud offering as part of their portfolio, they're opening the door for the competition to come in," says Campbell, who also dismisses the likes of Microsoft, SAP and Oracle, as only "paying lip service" to the cloud.
The exec goes on to say that NetSuite's margins of 30-50 percent on the first deal, and 30 percent on subsequent renewals is a large carrot for potential partners.
Currently around 40 percent of NetSuite's business goes through channel partners, from small, specialist partners to agreements with the likes of Cap Gemini and Accenture as they continue to build their cloud practices.
NetSuite wouldn't break down channel figures for EMEA, but 2013 signings to the NetSuite Solution Provider Programme in the UK and Ireland include Dublin-based Covali, which has launched an ERP practice on NetSuite; Ensphere Consulting, a Warrington, UK-based reseller of Sage ERP and CRM founded six years ago, and OSSM Cloud Solutions, another Dublin-based firm which launched a new NetSuite practice last year.
Says OSSM managing director, Raymond Ryan: "We've seen an evolution in understanding of the cloud in Ireland. Where once we were explaining it, now people are deploying it. NetSuite is cloud software as it should be, a solution that runs an entire business on one platform."
However an interesting development is the addition of e-commerce, alongside an 'omnichannel' strategy which sees NetSuite position itself apart from other core financial or ERP vendors. However, it's still these core areas that are key to engaging new customers, according to Campbell.
"The core piece – the financials or CRM or ERP – they're fundamental. We're telling newer partners coming on board, focus on that as you can implement it very quickly; you get the confidence of the customer, the business is all running and then they have the opportunity to ask, 'What is your strategy going forward for the next three, four, five years?'" he explains.
"It gives the customer flexibility, and allows the partner the skills set to expand the business into e-commerce, where before they couldn't do that. We're lowering the barrier for them to expand their business."
New features and specialisation
Elsewhere the vendor took advantage of the event to announce a raft of new products and features.
One product launch welcomed by partners was NetSuite's new services resource planning (SRP) solution, a cloud suite developed to meet the needs of product and services companies in one single system. It brings together ERP and professional services automation (PSA) to enable project- and product-based businesses to run their entire business life cycle—from project management, resource management, time-and-expense management, to project accounting—all in one unified software solution.
Andrew Peddie, founder of UK NetSuite partner, First Hosted, was particularly receptive to the offering: "We're growing quickly, and struggling to manage our resources effectively, so when we saw the functionality being rolled out around SRP, it was the answer we were looking for. I strongly believe you should use what you're asking other businesses to use."
NetSuite also says it is making it easier for partners to develop applications, and urged them to focus on specialisation in a bid to stand out from the competition. "That's the exciting opportunity for [partners], be it geographical or vertical," says Painter. "That's what attracts them to NetSuite; it's a sound foundation that they can make attractive to very specific industries."
"Our partners have built up incredible skills and expertise on the NetSuite product," Nelson told attendees. "The evolution of our channel is incredible."
Nelson revealed that the company purposely left its partners alone to develop their NetSuite businesses. "NetSuite's strategy for how we work with channel partners is different to how we work with other implementation partners," he explains. "We've always asked our partners to go out and engage with the customers on their own. We don't pass them leads; they go and leverage their expertise to make great solutions for users."
New BPO programme
NetSuite also launched a new partner programme, which allows BPO partners access to the NetSuite SuiteCloud. Inaugural partners include Capgemini, McGladrey and Accretive Solutions.
"With this new partner programme we're providing the best of both worlds to BPO providers and their customers—an enterprise-class financial system that can be deployed anywhere in the world at a fraction of the cost and in a fraction of the time of traditional on-premise ERP," says COO, McGeever.
"We've seen strong market demand for this type of programme and we're looking forward to working closely with our BPO partners to simplify the outsourcing model and aggressively lowering their operating costs moving forward."
"The combination of BPO and the cloud is a natural evolution of the market," comments Christine Dover, research director enterprise applications and digital commerce at IDC. "Businesses can outsource their processes to BPO providers and BPO providers can turn to SaaS vendors to manage the IT infrastructure and software maintenance. The result is a scalable, efficient market that presents savings and agility for all sides with great prospects for growth."
"We think it's going to be a great driver for growth," says McGeever.
2014 and beyond
Gartner expects growth of seven percent overall just for the FMS market in 2014 globally, including on-premise and cloud-based solutions. For cloud-based FMS only, Gartner forecasts total software revenues to grow close to 30 percent in 2014.
"The software market has been changing shape over the past five years, and cloud is driving the bulk of this change as software vendors acquire and provide applications and infrastructure technology to support the cloud and the Internet of Things (IoT) movement," comments Joanne Correia, research vice president at Gartner in its report. She uses the example of a pure cloud vendor, Salesforce.com, making the top ten list of enterprise software companies for the first time.
These figures will bolster NetSuite's belief that it's from-the-ground-up cloud offering will continue to steal market share from the more established software players. Undoubtedly it will keep taking a swing at its rivals as it does so.

What is a 'Sukuk'
A sukuk is an Islamic financial certificate, similar to a bond in Western finance, that complies with Sharia - Islamic religious law. Since the traditional Western interest-paying bond structure is not permissible, the issuer of a sukuk sells an investor group a certificate, and then uses the proceeds to purchase an asset, of which the investor group has partial ownership. The issuer must also make a contractual promise to buy back the bond at a future date at par value.
BREAKING DOWN 'Sukuk'Islamic law prohibits what's known as "riba," or interest. Therefore, traditional, Western debt instruments cannot be used as investment vehicles. To circumvent this, sukuks were created in order to link the returns and cash flows of debt financing to a specific asset being purchased, effectively distributing the benefits of that asset. This allows investors to work around the prohibition outlined under Sharia and still receive the benefits of debt financing. However, because of the way that sukuks are structured, financing can only be raised for identifiable assets.
Thus, sukuks represent aggregate and undivided shares of ownership in a tangible asset as it relates to a specific project or a specific investment activity. An investor in a sukuk therefore does not own a debt obligation owed by the bond issuer, but instead owns a piece of the asset that's linked to the investment. This means that sukuk holders, unlike bond holders, receive a portion of the earnings generated by the associated asset.
Two Examples of Sukuks
The most common form of a sukuk is a trust certificate. Surprisingly, these certificates are governed by Western law. However, the structure of this type of sukuk is fairly complicated. The organization raising funds first creates an off-shore special purpose vehicle (SPV). The SPV issues trust certificates to qualified investors and puts the proceeds of the investments toward a funding agreement with the issuing organization. In return, the investors earn a portion of the profits linked to the asset.
Sukuks structured as trust certificates are only applicable if the SVP can be created in an off-shore jurisdiction that allows trusts. This is sometimes not possible. If an SVP and trust certificates can't be created, a sukuk can be structured as an alternative civil-law structure. In this scenario, an asset-leasing company is created in the country of origin, effectively purchasing the asset and leasing it back to the organization in need of financing.
The Origin of Sukuks
Sukuks have become extremely popular since 2000, when the first sukuk was issued by Malaysia. Bahrain followed suit in 2001. Fast forward to current times, and sukuks are used by Islamic corporations and state-run organizations alike, taking up a large share of the global bond market.

"One of the things I've learned during my time at National Museums Liverpool is that it is full of stories about collectors, benefactors and patrons. They have shaped both the buildings we are housed in, and our collections which are some of the best in the world.
If you have visited our 'Pre-Raphaelites: Beauty and Rebellion' exhibition at the Walker Art Gallery, you may have come across the Liverpool-based merchant John Miller, a significant patron of the movement. An avid collector, Miller reputedly bought so much art that he didn't have enough hanging space for it all. He supported many Pre-Raphaelite artists including Ford Madox Brown and John Everett Millais. Read more…

Introducing our collection of snakes, lizards and frogs
17 November 2015 by Lynn
Tony Parker, Curator of Vertebrate Zoology, reveals the weird and wonderful collection of reptiles and amphibians… in jars!
"One of the things I find compelling about our collection of reptiles and amphibians is that they are stored in glass jars with strange-looking fluids, as if they are museum specimens straight out of the Victorian era. In fact, most of the specimens are actually from a much later period, including significant additions to the collection in the 1950s and 60s. Read more…
The temple boys of ancient Cyprus
29 October 2015 by Lynn
Curator of Classical Antiquities, Chrissy Partheni tells us of her work on this fascinating sculptural collection from ancient Cyprus.
"Over the last 12 months I have been working on digital records of our antiquities collection of ancient Cyprus limestone pieces.
My first encounter with this collection was seeing lots of boxes in our store, filled with sculptural pieces, mainly heads, all made in limestone, a chalky but light material. The collection was donated to us in 1872 by Captain Fothergill. We have 125 limestone pieces in total with 11 "Temple boy" statuettes being particularly interesting. Read more…
Designing our online collections
3 September 2015 by Lynn
Tibetan robes, watercolours, Egyptian mummies and frogs – what do they have in common? They're all part of our vast and varied collections!
We've been looking at how we can present the items from our collections, better online. Because we have such diverse collections, it's really difficult to find a single way to do this. As well as decorative and fine art collections, we have collections of insects, birds, plants, social history, medals, ships, models, maritime archives and items associated with slavery. And that's just some of them! Read more…

One family's love of ceramics
11 February 2015 by Lynn
Ben Jones, Assistant Curator of Decorative Arts, shares his experience of working with this unique family collection of studio ceramics.
We were privileged last year to receive a large donation of wonderful material from the Ratoff family. The Ratoffs, Len and Pamela, were both active members of the Liverpool medical community, Len being a Doctor and Pamela, the Senior Social worker and head of department at the Royal Liverpool Hospital. Throughout their working lives they indulged a love of ceramics, buying from a great number of North Welsh artists in easy reach of their then home in Llangwm, Gwynedd.

You do know it's not that huge in Europe right? You think it's getting approved in the US or something? Yeah right. Keep dreaming baggy.
@ states just passed marihuana laws because every state is desperately looking for new revenue streams. Online gambling motions are all over and you think it isn't getting approved? You know what all the lawmakers agree on? It is going to get approved in the majority of the states, but they don't know if it will be this year or a few years out.
Ohh Maryland just approved state gambling. Yeah states approving marijuana, states approving state gambling and a majority of the states have some form of initiative on online gambling going.
Welcome out from under your rock.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
A few years out, you think this POS will still be around to reap the benefits? Keep dreaming man.

Just returned from a 7 night stay in a 3 bedroom at the end of July.
My only real complaint was that the resort needs to enforce its own rules.
Many people using the pools did not stay at the resort. They were walk ups from the beach or they came from next door at the Schooner. This was very frustrating as a shortage of towels and lounge chairs poolside.
The other thing that I hated was that people were saving chairs at 7am but never showed up at the pool till noon. Maybe this is am American thing that is accepted, but it seemed like people only cared about themselves .
Other than that everything else was fine. The room was clean and spacious, the beach was great.
We went for breakfast one morning and it was OK ( book at the front desk) . Our host (Maggie) was excellent. Parking was across the street, we didn't have any problem.
We paid $ 305.00 per night.
I would stay there again but never during a peak month.....just too busy.
