Left-leaning media outlets will come up with just about any excuse not to jump to the "terrorism" conclusion, won't they?
Case in point, one Don Lemon of CNN, who actually asked fellow host Brad Meltzer with a straight face whether something "supernatural" may have caused Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 to disappear. That question came on the heels of Meltzer comparing the incident to the pilot of LOST.
I'm sorry to be the party pooper, but the only "supernatural" force at play here is the one that keeps Don and Brad employed. Still, I'll award bonus points to Lemon for his scary, robotic head-nodding towards the end, as he reiterates "absolutely" over and over, like a member of the Heaven's Gate cult.

The complete idiot's guide to MidEast peace (part49)
'Livni: Israel had to suspend talks after Abbas-Hamas deal'
Read more: Livni: Israel had to suspend talks after Abbas-Hamas deal | The Times of Israel
The region's political spectrum is as it is. There is no point in wishing it were otherwise. Alliances will be made and others dissolved as and when circumstances dictate. The Fatah-Hamas link-up is just such a development. It is symptomatic of the forces and pressures arising from the situation as it currently stands.
That situation, however, has remained essentially unchanged for seven decades; it is old, therefore, and much set in its ways. It no longer responds favourably to conventional methods of persuasion. Indeed, I seem unable to recall a time when it ever did. Still, some means of access to the very core of its being must be found if matters are not to deteriorate even further than they already have.
66 years is a long period in history, certainly more than enough for a lot of damage to take place. Repairing and restoring some sense of normalcy and purpose to the erratic course of so many millions will demand measures far beyond the reach of all previous attempts at redirection. These must be of an intensity and certainty consistent with what is acceptable to the human mind and collective conscience. They cannot remain within the exclusive domain of political machines that are so concerned with fighting each other that maintaining focus on peace is lost in the rivalries and intrigues that happen between and inside them.
Www.laxiankey.com – 'for those of us with better things to do.'
So, do we now square up to this darker aspect in our human nature or slink away, unable to face what is a reflection of our inner selves? Either we do this or the status quo stays with us forever. At least we have that choice from now on, one we never had before. Dare we take it or must we bow down to the inevitability of a fate we do not choose to challenge?

Shimon Peres: Fighter for peace
Shimon Peres has long been the Israeli political establishment's loudest and most determined advocate of peace with the Palestinians.
An architect of the Oslo accord in 1993, he was recognised by the international community with a Nobel Prize shared with Yasser Arafat and the late Yitzhak Rabin.
But the election of Ariel Sharon as Prime Minister of Israel early this year put Mr Peres's Labour party in a quandary: Should they join the long-time hardliner in a national unity government, or fight him in opposition?
Under the leadership of Mr Peres - and against the vocal protests of other leading party doves - Labour joined the government and Mr Peres became Foreign Minister.
Since then, he has kept open channels to the Arab world and tried to moderate Mr Sharon's policies.
International contacts
He met Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in Cairo in April to discuss an Arab proposal for a ceasefire between Israelis and Palestinians.
He also toured Europe and visited Turkey and Washington to shore up support for Israel among her allies.
The focus on peacemaking and the international sphere was perhaps appropriate for a politician who has always been more popular abroad than at home.
Record of defeats
Although he has twice been prime minister, he has never won an election in his own right.
Mr Peres, 78, took the top job only via a power-sharing agreement with the Likud party in 1984, and after Mr Rabin was assassinated in 1995.
And perhaps most humiliating of all, the elder statesman was passed over for the presidency by the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, last year.
He was defeated by the little-known Likud politician Moshe Katsav, a former tourism minister whose claims to fame include being voted most polite Knesset member.
Polls indicated that he stood a better chance of defeating Mr Sharon in this year's prime ministerial election than the Labour incumbent, Ehud Barak.
But Mr Barak refused to step aside for him, and Mr Peres was unable to find enough parliamentarians to support a rival bid.
After Mr Barak went down in crushing defeat, Mr Peres again stepped in to become leader of the party.
In a fractious party meeting at which Mr Peres had to shout to be heard over hecklers, he argued that Israel wanted a unity government
"The time has come to listen to the nation for once," Mr Peres. "For once, listen to the will of the nation."
Internal dissent
The move angered his protege, former Justice Minister Yossi Beilin, another leading dove.
Mr Beilin argued that the Nobel peace laureate Mr Peres would merely be a fig-leaf for a hard-line Sharon government.
But the dispute between Mr Sharon and Mr Peres over whether the foreign minister should meet Mr Arafat may indicate that the veteran is more than just a front man for the right wing.
Reportedly saying that he is not a clerk to do Mr Sharon's orders, the veteran Mr Peres seems still to be fighting for his vision of peace in the Middle East.

Four students from USC Annenberg will attend the 2017 South by Southwest (SXSW) Conference from March 10-19 in Austin, Texas. Austin Roy, Diana Lee, Sarah McMullen and Elias Goodstein are attending the conference and festival as part of the inaugural Career Trek, organized by the school's Career Development office. The annual conference celebrates the convergence of the technology, interactive, film and music industries.
The students will explore and learn what to expect when it comes to the world of technology, entertainment and culture. While at the conference, the students will attend panels, learn about new and emerging technologies and document their experiences through social media. They will also network with innovators, entrepreneurs and attend The Awesomest Journalism Party Ever, which USC Annenberg is sponsoring. Annenberg faculty, including professor Robert Hernandez and lecturer Lisa Pecot-Hébert will be there as well as managing director of the Norman Lear Center Johanna Blakley and León Krauze, the Wallis Annenberg Chair in Journalism.
When asked about their expectations about the conference, the students shared they were excited to meet personalities like CNN journalist Jake Tapper and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, learn about emerging technologies, the convergence of music, film, and technology, and the relationship between technology disruption and government regulations.
Austin Roy
(Master in Communication Management '17)
When my mom asked me whom I was most excited to see at SXSW, I said Cecile Richards, the brilliant and inspiring president of Planned Parenthood. When my thesis advisor asked, I said Robert Cialdini, the scholar who's laid the foundation of postmodern persuasion theory. When my roommate questioned, I chose Taye Diggs, the actor at the top of my "Men I'd Like to Marry" list.
Although I gave three different answers to the same question, I like to think that I was answering honestly each time. The truth of the matter is, there are so many thought leaders I'm excited to see at SXSW that it's impossible to rank them.
In addition to hearing from individuals whose careers I've been following for years, I'm also looking forwarded to learning about new and emerging technologies. I'm particularly excited to hear more about decision-making systems of self-driving cars. It's rare that new technology is so applicable to all three of my academic foci at USC — communication management, cognitive science, and philosophy — and I'm eager to hear scholars discuss the subject from multiple perspectives.
After graduation this May, I'm going to be joining the Innovation Team at Nielsen in San Francisco where I'll be conducting market research for emerging products and technologies. I'm hoping that the sessions I attend at SXSW will not only expose me to new tech but will also provide me with insights regarding how to successfully brand and market emerging tech. On a slightly less professional note, I'm also hoping to get some selfies with Cecile, Robert, and Taye.
Elias Goodstein
(B.A. Broadcast and Digital Journalism '17)
The big idea I'm really excited about exploring at SXSW is 360 video and VR/AR technology. Although it's slowly growing in popularity in the journalism field, virtual reality and augmented reality are truly the next steps in immersive storytelling. There is untapped potential in these technologies and it will be interesting to see how professional are using them to tell great stories.
Although I am intrigued by VR/AR technology and its place in journalism, I am passionate about live-streaming content on social media. I have worked as the Facebook Live producer for the Annenberg Media Center this semester and it's been an incredible learning experience. There is a panel led by journalists at SXSW called "The Live Impact: Facebook, Periscope, and Journalism." I cannot wait to hear about how they have utilized live social media content and what they believe are the best practices are for using them.
I believe meeting with industry professionals who are experts in their fields will be incredibly beneficial to me, especially because I will be entering the journalism field in a few months. Talking with them and asking about their experience working in the news industry will help me understand what my career might look like in the next few years. I also think learning about emerging technologies and new methods of storytelling will put me at an advantage amongst others entering the workforce.
The thought leader I am most interested in hearing from is Jake Tapper. He is the anchor for The Lead on CNN and the network's chief Washington correspondent. Tapper is set to speak with the current Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Paul Selva about technological innovation in the military. Tapper has been a major voice against President Trump's accusations of CNN being 'fake news' and he is an inspiring individual, especially for a young journalist like me.
Sarah McMullen
(B.A. Communication '17)
Attending SXSW is about more than just being exposed to cool new ideas in technology and entertainment — it is about being present to witness and contribute to a legitimate "ground zero" for future-altering creativity and artistic development. My specific interest at the festival is diving deep into the convergence of music, film, and technology, and the ways in which we can utilize exciting innovations to tell more diverse and compelling stories on screen — including the new small screen — the internet. Both streaming content creators and distributors are coming together at SXSW to exalt the freeing platform that streaming provides while also supplying a window into the challenges they face within the rapidly expanding technology. I firmly believe that technological advances in the way that we distribute content provide room for additional, more diverse voices — but only if those in power care to listen to them.
The sessions I look forward to attending on this topic are the Film Keynote featuring Jill Soloway, creator and showrunner of Amazon Studios' "Transparent," as well as "Hacking the Script: Diversity in Hollywood" featuring Gina Rodriguez from "Jane The Virgin" and Yara Shahidi from "Black-ish." The reason why these conversations are so important — and that SXSW offers a platform for them — is because they don't typically occur in the boardrooms at studios in the way they should. Despite our best intentions as forward thinking USC students, it is easy to get caught up in the dogma of a company's culture, and not implementing change through clear and consistent action. By exploring these complex issues more deeply throughout SXSW, I feel that I can bring back to USC a solid plan of action for diversity advocacy on all screens (small and large), while also embracing new advances in content delivery.
Diana Lee
(B.A. Print and Digital Journalism Major '17)
The big idea of 2017 — under a new administration — is the role of government in technology entrepreneurship. Though many consider the media/communication industry as overbearing much of the burden, technology is inevitably in the intersection of this debate. The ways in which news content is shared depends on the available technology — and how agile entrepreneurs can be in introducing new technology under the given regulations.
Because of this relationship between the media landscape and technology, I am looking forward to attending Mark Cuban and other tech leaders' session on the relationship between technology disruption and government regulations.
Uber is considered the poster child for how businesses can challenge government regulations and become pioneers of an industry (in this case, transportation). In that regard, I'm interested in hearing about how other industries are shifting in form after Uber's example. Many of these markets affect personal financial management. For example, car insurance choices seem to have flown under the radar for long, and as such, comparison services such as The Zebra builds a more competitive marketplace to the benefit of consumers. Most people, especially frequent travelers, are familiar with Kayak and Priceline, of course. Aside from simply fulfilling my curiosity, hearing from insiders about this subject will make me open-minded to look for solutions that allow for smarter financial decisions through transparent communication. I'll be listening closely to these proven disruptors to hear about their journeys.
Lee, Roy, McMullen and Goodstein will also share their post-SXSW analysis and thoughts with Annenberg News.

Prof Quintin Cutts – University of Glasgow
Will radical research-led change in schools CS affect you?!
Underpinned to a large extent by CS education research, the subject of computing science in Scottish schools has been going through a process of steady but significant change over the last 5 years and will continue to do so over the next 5-10 years. These changes, as well as those in other countries, will have a profound impact on our intake.
In this talk, I will discuss three significant aspects of this change that I've either led or am associated with, particularly focussing on the research-led aspect:
– revising the national SQA qualifications
– setting up a nationwide professional development network for CS teachers, involving training lead teachers, setting up local teacher hubs and based around a research-led pedagogical framework
– transforming the mandatory CS education stage – ages 3-15
We'll then explore whether we in HE are ready for the changed intake and how we could respond.
Quintin Cutts, Professor of Computer Science Education at the University of Glasgow, has researched and practised programming education for 20 years, involved in UK, US and Australasian projects. He has explored many instructional designs, endeavouring to maximise the value of face-to-face teaching using technology and peer-based learning, as well as incorporating and researching attitudes to learning into his teaching. More recently, he has been applying a range of CS education research, including his own, to the improvement of Scottish schools provision of computing science.

In one of my random online searches, I stumbled upon this new employee inspiration note from Apple Company. It resonated deeply with me as I imagine it does with their employees.
There's work and there's your life's work.
The kind of work that has your fingerprints all over it. The kind of work that you'd never compromise on. That you'd sacrifice a weekend for. You can do that kind of work at Apple. People don't come here to play it safe. They come here to swim in the deep end.
The want their work to add up to something. Something big. Something that couldn't happen anywhere else.
As I sit on my lanai typing this post, I know without a doubt what my life's work is. I've known for years my calling was helping farmers, my niche has always been promoting and protecting food and crop agriculture in Hawaii. My why has never altered, only how I accomplish it has. Now obviously I'm not going to work for Apple but ironically a friend of mine tried to get me to several years ago. Their "why" didn't match my own, now an offer that combines my why with their mission and goals; well I'd say that would be a recipe for a successful relationship. Not all of us are able to combine our work with our life's work, I'm one of the lucky ones.
How do you know if you've found your life's work? Here are 8 signs you've found it by Fast Company.
I'm blessed to exercise my skills and pursue my passions while living my Hawaii life on my terms. It's difficult to consider it "work" as it feels more like an extension of myself. At times, I find it hard to draw the line, but somehow I manage to find balance. I'm passionate and dedicated to my life's work yet sometimes even I need to unwind and unplug, an important part of keeping my sanity.
A few years ago when I choose to follow my dreams versus going with the safe choice, my friends thought I was crazy. Secretly at times so did I, yet I never let on that I had doubts. All good leaders have doubts, or at least that's my story and I'm sticking with it. ヅ
I chose my current path, although there was a point fate stepped in to bring me to my senses for which I will be forever grateful. When you experience an aha moment in life, you never forget them. The past three years have been a whirlwind both personally and professionally. I'm excited to see what my path looks like over the next five years. Whatever the future brings I like swimming in the deep end and certainly have the desire to be part of something bigger.
What's your life's work or mission? Do you desire to swim in the deep end or be part of something bigger?

I'm So Paid
""I'm So Paid" was the second single from Akon's third studio album, Freedom.
The Gil Green-directed music video for the 2008 single "I'm So Paid" featured Akon alongside Young Jeezy and Lil Wayne. DJ Khaled and T-Pain made guest appearances, with cameos by Konvict Muzik label artists Kardinal Offishall, Tami Chyn and Bu Thiam, as well as Cash Money's Lil Chuckee. The video was released on October 30, 2008. The production crew behind "I'm So Paid" teamed with MusicPromoToday to strategically target audiences, build buzz and drive traffic to the music video.
MusicPromoToday saw the casting of Konvict Music's artists as an opportunity to build a massive audience by engaging with the individual fan bases of each artist in the video. Instead of designing a singular social media marketing strategy, MusicPromoToday created a unique viral campaign for each artist, which was received more impactfully with their respective followings. This ultimately created a larger viewership for the "I'm So Paid" music video by bringing multiple fan bases together.
To create further hype for "I'm So Paid", MusicPromoToday used a teaser for the upcoming music video to incite interest among fans and music lovers the world over. Shortly after its official release, the music video was also featured on record producer Noel 'Detail' Fisher's website, as well as his personal Twitter and Facebook accounts.
Via its well-targeted and creative campaigns, MusicPromoToday ensured viral hype around the music video "I'm So Paid," which resulted in worldwide acclaim and record-setting rankings for the single on the US Billboard charts in various categories. The campaign also drove over 59M streamings on YouTube.
- 59,000,000+ views on YouTube
- Ranked number 47 on US Billboard US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs
- Ranked number 31 US Billboard Hot 100
- Certified Platinum by RIAA

Produkt FAQ
Can I cause wounds by using the appliance without a comb?
Yes, this can happen, but you can easily prevent this:
Do not apply too much pressure and do not push the appliance too hard on the scalp.
Be careful when touching up the contours around the ears in order to not cut the ear lobe. Fold the ear lobe as necessary when cutting around the ears.

Can I clean the shaver under the tap?
Yes, you can clean the shaver under the tap. Be careful with hot water, always check the temperature of the water to avoid burning your hands. Note: never dry the shaving unit with a towel because the loops of the towel can get caught in the shaving heads and damage them.
Can I recharge the appliance after every shave or do I have to wait until the battery is empty?
You can recharge the appliance as often as you like. This will not damage the battery pack.
Can I use an alcohol-based pre-shave lotion?
Yes, you can use an alcohol-base pre-shave lotion prior to shaving without any problem. The use of an alcohol-based pre-shave lotion can however damage the material of your shaver. Use of pre-shave lotion prior to shaving does not affect the inside of the shaver or the operation of the shaver. Note: if you use an alcohol-based pre-shave lotion prior to shaving, always wash your hands before picking up the shaver. Alcohol-based lotions dry the hair and make hairs stand up, allowing for an easier shave.
Can the appliance also be used for women's and children's haircuts?
Yes. But only for short hairstyles with a remaining hair length of 41mm.
Can the appliance be used on wet hair?
No, your hair must be completely dry before use.
How can I remove the comb from the appliance?
Remove the comb by pulling it from the appliance. Never pull the flexible top of the comb, but always pull from the bottom part.
Is this appliance waterproof?
Yes, the Wet & Dry appliance is waterproof, but some are not. You can use the Wet & Dry rechargeable appliance in the shower. It is not recommended to cut your hair or shave when wet, because then the hair cannot be lifted by the comb.
What can the appliance be used for?
The appliance can be used for cutting and touching up the hair on your head. Do not use it for other purposes.
What is the best way to clean the appliance?
Clean the appliance after each use, as hair always remains stuck in the appliance. Do not use aggressive detergents, abrasives or liquids such as alcohol, benzene or acetone (nail polish remover) to clean the appliance.You can rinse the appliance and the comb with (hot) tap water. Switch off the appliance and remove the adapter from the wall socket before cleaning the appliance. Then remove the comb/shaver head from the appliance. Rinse the comb/shaver head and rinse the outside of the cutting element under the tap. Press the top-centre of the cutting element with your thumb until it opens.Clean the appliance under warm running water to remove cut hair that has accumulated in the cutting attachment.
What should I do if the comb does not remain attached to the device?
This may have various causes, namely: the comb is not properly attached. Remove the comb from the appliance and reattach it. Make sure the comb correctly slides into the grooves until it clicks. Thoroughly clean the appliance. It may have become dirty through use. Make sure the comb is still intact.
When should I replace the shaving heads of my shaver?
You should replace the shaving heads every two years for an optimal shave.

Department of Health and Human Services
Office of Inspector General -- AUDIT
"Office of Inspector General's Partnership Plan - New York State Comptroller Report on Administration of the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program," (A-02-02-01009)
March 19, 2002
Complete Text of Report is available in PDF format (481 KB). Copies can also be obtained by contacting the Office of Public Affairs at 202-619-1343.
This audit was conducted by the New York State Office of the State Comptroller (OSC) as part of our continuing partnership efforts with State auditors to expand audit coverage of the Medicaid program. The objective of the review was to determine whether the New York State Department of Health (Health) had maximized Medicaid Drug Rebate Program (Program) revenues owed to Medicaid. The OSC found that Health had not maximized Program revenues; had not properly tracked or pursued rebate revenues; and had essentially relied on drug manufacturers to remit the rebates they owed. As a result, Health had not recouped between approximately $14 million to $20 million it should have collected during the OSC audit period. The OSC also concluded that, for all practical purposes, Health did not have a functioning accounting system for the Program. The OSC recommended financial adjustments and procedural corrections agreed to by Department of Health officials.

- Leather Bracelets
- Ion Thick Bracelets
- Ion Thin Bracelets
- Build Your Own
- adidas Bracelets
- Ionic Nylon Bracelets
- Natural Earth Bracelets
- Tech Cord Series
- Metal Magnet Series
- Ultra Paks
- Accessories
These great looking black & red adidas nylon Braided wristbands have been sold all over the World by adidas but have never been offered in the United States…until now. Each bracelet contains a mega dose of negative ions! We are surrounded each day with high levels of positive ions from UV rays, cell phones, mp3 players, laptops, and in fact all electronic devices. The adidas/IonLoop Braided wristband helps your body fight back with high levels of negative ions which are absorbed into your body—which is why many of the top amateur and professional athletes around the world choose to wear this fatigue fighting sport wristband. The negative ion properties are manufactured right into the nylon band and will not lose effectiveness over time. .
Q. Does IonLoop® adidas Braided really work? What's the hype?
A. The IonLoop® team has over 9 years of combined experience in ion magnetic technology products. Bottom line, our team has been involved with this category before most other 'energy type' bracelets were ever developed. In fact, it is because there are so many bracelets that fail to deliver out there that the IonLoop® team decided to take the concept to the highest level possible. Using the best components available and our own proprietary IRT™ technology, we have been able to create a bracelet that exceeds all others!
Q. What size should I wear? What size am I?
A. adidas Braided is best worn comfortably around the wrist. There is no need for the ion bracelet to fit tightly around the wrist to benefit from the ion technology. To better answer any questions about sizing and fitting of your bracelet, the IonLoop Team has created a video. Click the PRODUCT VIDEO to learn more about what size you might be. Measure your wrist with a tape measure to determine the correct size.
Small is 6.7" (17cm)
Medium is 7.5" (19cm) Please note that most men wear medium IonLoop®.
Large is 8.4" (21cm) Large is 'Texas Large'!
Q. How tight should the bracelet be?
A. adidas Braided is best worn comfortably around the wrist. There is no need for our ion bracelet to fit tightly around the wrist for the wearer to benefit from the ion technology. Comfort is the key! Please make sure that you do not buy bracelet that is too tight and restricts blood flow. Our IRT™ technology assures that the negative ions (manufactured directly into the band) are absorbed into your body.
Q. Which arm should I wear the bracelet on?
A. You can wear adidas Braided on either wrist; it's really up to you, comfort is the key.
Q. Can I wear an adidas Braided on the same wrist as I wear my watch?
A. Yes …adidas Braided will not affect the operation of modern watches. However if you have an antique watch we recommend that you wear the bracelet on the opposite wrist.
Q. Can I get my adidas Braided wet?
A. Yes… adidas Braided may be worn in the shower, swimming, fishing and more…adidas Braided nylon band is waterproof, highly durable and moisture will not affect the technology.
Q. How long will the ions in adidas Braided remain effective?
A. The adidas Braided band should maintain its negative ion producing properties for at least 2 years.
Q. Do the bracelets stretch out of size over a period of time?
A. Under normal conditions the nylon bands will not stretch out. adidas Braided bracelets should be worn to fit comfortably and not be too tight, so as to not affect circulation.
Q. Can I wear my adidas Braided to bed?
A. adidas Braided IonLoop® may be worn 24/7. In fact, many wearers report better sleep cycles and more restorative, restful sleep!
THANK YOU . tom keating on 6/23/2019
Just received it and the fit is perfect. Will be wearing it and hopefully I will see a difference with my back issues and overall health. Stay tuned!! Diego G on 1/17/2019
Bought as a gift Unknown on 5/31/2016
The clasp makes it easier to put it on or remove it and not having to worry that it might break off as was the previous rubber ion bracelets I had. Unknown on 6/30/2014

We're less than two months out of the next CloudCamp. As usual that means, we're getting some question to give our thoughts on. I have to say the questions were really good this time. So I thought I'd share them here as well.
Q: Agree or disagree? – "While the IT savings aspect is compelling, the strongest benefit of cloud computing is how it enhances business agility."
While I'm not sure whether cloud actually saves IT money, business agility is for sure the biggest benefit. And I believe there is a lot more to come. So far we've seen a lot of activity on the IAAS and SAAS levels but not so much on PAAS. There is not a lot of choice for developers today, especially in private clouds. Expect this to be the next wave of innovation. One example here is www.appcara.com, who enable service providers and enterprises to build a PAAS on top of any cloud. Amazon's recently announced marketplace confirms what our focus should be: applications.
Q: Which of the recent big acquisitions within the Cloud and/or Big Data space have most grabbed your attention as a sign of things to come?
Let's start with acquisitions that have not happened: Nimbula and Abiquo are still around. They are typical for-sale companies: Abiquo's Steve Malcom has a track record of selling companies to CA but he got in too late as CA had just bought 3tera. I think this indicates the IAAS game has been played. All major players have bought what they need. There may be one or two acquisitions left in the IAAS space, but probably not a lot more.
Citrix' not so recent acquisition of cloud.com to me is an indication that VMware is still the company to beat in this industry. Oracle haven't made their cloud mind up yet, Microsoft took a slightly different approach, so Citrix are in good shape. CloudStack has a long way to go to even look like a threat to Vmware but they are focussing on the right stuff: applications.
Q: In its recent "Sizing the Cloud" report Forrester Research said it expects the global cloud computing market to reach $241BN in 2020 compared to $40.7BN in 2010 – is that kind of rapid growth trajectory being reflected in your own company or in your view is the Forrester number a tad over-optimistic?
This depends a lot on what you consider cloud. In the storage industry, for example we are seeing the start of a paradigm shift from file based storage to object storage (no file system, a programmable REST API, cloud storage). This is probably just one phenomenon that is added to these numbers. Most enterprise still run on legacy applications for the most part. As the shift is turning to applications in the cloud, we will probably see a big wave of migrations of legacy applications to the cloud, especially as object storage will also help to facilitate this. So how do we explain a factor 6 growth for the cloud industry? Applications.
Q: Which do you think is the most important cloud computing standard still to tackle?
A standard REST API, especially in the storage industry it is a hot topic: which REST API should object storage vendors embrace? Vendors are still holding off, but fortunately that is not slowing down the rise of object storage. Many companies understand that file systems will eventually not scale and become obsolete. The role of the file system is taken over by … applications.
Q: Big Data has existed since the early days of computing; why, then, do you think is there such an industry buzz around it right now?
Because cloud computing is getting old, the recession is not over and the industry needs a new hype? No seriously, I'd like to refer to one of my blog articles (http://cloudcomputing.sys-con.com/node/2129453). Analysts expect data storage to grow with a factor 30 over the next decade. 80% of that is unstructured data. Parallel to Big Data Analytics, the massive amount of unstructured data we are all generating is now called Big Unstructured Data. And there is a lot of value in that. While there is still a lot of interest in Big Data Analytics, we see an increasing focus on Big Unstructured Data. Companies are turning dead tape archives in live disk archives and investigate ways to actively use the archives (rather than just spending money on tape and not access the data ever). A key technology here is erasure coding, an alternative to RAID that provides much more reliability with a lot less overhead and at a much lower cost in general. As mentioned before, object storage is the new paradigm to store those massive amounts of Big Unstructured Data. On it's turn, Object Storage enables … the applications.
Q: Do you think Big Data will only ever be used for analytical purposes, or do you envisage that it will actually enable new products?
As mentioned in the previous question, there is a lot more than Big Data Analytics. Analytics and Big Unstructured Data the two main categories, but there are a lot of subcategories. There is, for example, Big Science Data, which refers to genomics research projects for example (both analytics and unstructured). Then there is also Big Data Enterprise, mostly the massive amounts of documents and other unstructured data that is generated by companies. Big Data Entertainment refers to the huge amount of data in the film industry. Improved film quality has a big impact on storage requirements. And then there is Big Data Streams, which refers to large volumes of data generated by cloud applications such as Twitter and Facebook. Yes, again, it's the applications.

Will Islamic migrants lead to the end of Europe?
Russia is in Syria and some think part of the reason is to eliminate Europe:
Russia Bristles at NATO Expansion in Eastern Europe
February 12, 2016
Russia has called NATO's moves a threat to stability in Europe. The military alliance says the news plans are aimed at reassuring eastern European allies concerned about Russian aggression. …
NATO said Russia's continued air strikes in Syria since September in support of the Syrian government are undermining peace efforts, a charge Russia rejects.http://www.wnd.com/2016/02/putins-aim-in-syria-to-destroy-eu/
February 11, 2016
UNITED NATIONS – Russian President Vladimir Putin's aim in launching an assault against the rebel stronghold of Aleppo, Syria, is not only to keep President Bashar al-Assad in power but to weaken Chancellor Angela Merkel in Germany by flooding Europe with millions more migrants this spring and summer, warns a top European foreign-policy analyst.
The ultimate objective is to destroy the European Union, she contends.
"Merkel's latest plan is for Turkey to stop the flow of refugees to Greece, which can no longer cope under the immense strain," said Judy Dempsey, a nonresident senior associate with the Brussels-based Carnegie Europe and the editor and chief of Strategic Europe.
"But outsourcing the refugee problem to either Greece or Turkey is not a sustainable option," she stressed. "In return for Turkey's assistance, Merkel said EU countries, many of which have already refused to take in refugees or are closing their borders, would have to be willing to accept quotas of migrants." http://www.wnd.com/2016/02/putins-aim-in-syria-to-destroy-eu/#ZoQIaUjdhwrSPhkk.99
Donald Trump suggested that the migrant situation would lead to the 'end of Europe' recently. World News Daily reported the following:
February 11, 2016
German Chancellor Angela Merkel's policy of welcoming Muslim migrants into Germany is a "tragic mistake," Trump said, predicting disaster unless there is a change in policy.
"If you don't treat the situation competently and firmly, yes, it's the end of Europe," Trump reportedly stated.
He also speculated that European nations could face "real revolutions" in response to the crisis. …
G.M. Davis, an expert on Islam who directed the feature documentary "Islam: What the West Needs to Know" and authored "House of War: Islam's Jihad Against the World,"praised the Republican front-runner's strong stand against the Islamic invasion of Europe.
"At present, only Donald Trump seems willing to address the seriousness of the issues confronting the United States and Europe and the full implications of Islamic immigration into non-Islamic countries," Davis told WND. "Whatever one makes of his delivery and tendency to personalize his criticisms, there is little denying that he grasps the big picture in a way that the other candidates do not or are too afraid to express.
"His recent comments to the European press over the dire situation in Europe where centers of Islamic power continue to send down roots and multiply, as well as the hysterical reaction on the part of much of Europe to his views, testifies both to Mr. Trump's competence on the issue as well as the inability of the European establishment to come to grips with reality."
Davis warned Americans they will not be spared from the crisis.
"All of what we are witnessing in Europe is in store for America if she does not adopt more sensible and restrictive immigration policies," said Davis. "She must also realize her overseas campaigns to bring democracy to Islamic lands are futile and counter-productive. The only principle on which any sensible Western policy toward Islam can be based is one of containment, of realizing that Western and Islamic civilizations are best kept apart as much as possible."http://www.wnd.com/2016/02/trump-warns-migrants-will-bring-end-of-europe/#gfDxOTptqGxpAMFV.99
Many in Europe do not like the situation with the migrants.
Even before the increase of Islamic migrants and the recent sexual assaults, there were protests in various parts of Germany, including Cologne, against Islamic immigration (see Dresden anti-Islamization rally hits record). And back in October 2010, Chancellor Merkel herself declared that multiculturalism in Germany had been a "total failure" (see Germany's Merkel: Multiculturalism a Total Failure). Multiculturalism is not something that Germany wants.
Many in Germany and other parts of Europe have realized that the Islamic refugees do not want to integrate into European society. Many immigrants want to impose Islamic culture, and that scares a lot of Europeans.
More and more in Germany want to do something about the Islamic situation. Angela Merkel's statements last month that Germany plans to send many back after the wars in Syria and Iraq are over (seeGermany's Merkel says that refugees must go back after the war is over), will reassure many Germans that something is at least planned to be done.
Yet, many of the Muslims will not want to go home. Home to lands that are often more dangerous and whose economies are not as productive. This will lead to conflict as well as change in Europe.
Will it be the 'end of Europe' or lead to the rise of the Beast of Revelation?
Well, a bit of both.
Europe will exist, but not as it does today. The Bible shows Europe will have various reorganizations. Notice two of them:
12 "The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. (Revelation 17:12-13)
A more dictatorial and warring Europe will emerge, so in that sense it will be the end of post WWII Europe. And as the above shows, it will lead to the rise of the Beast of Revelation.
This final European Beast leader, who is also known as the final King of the North, will ultimately promote his religion (Daniel 11:36-38; which will not be Islam. He will at first feign and claim a slightly different form of Roman Catholicism (cf. Daniel 11:38; Revelation 17). He ultimately will destroy the USA and its Anglo-Saxon allies (Daniel 11:39). And then the Bible shows he will takeover the predominantly Islamic nations in the Middle East and North Africa (Daniel 11:40-43).
As I have written for years, Islamic issues will be a factor in the rise of this Beast leader.
The Europeans will dominate the world economy for a time (Revelation 18). The Europeans are taking steps now to make this happen, but they are generally ignored by the mainstream press (see also European Technology and the Beast of Revelation and World War III: Steps in Progress).
Perhaps it should be mentioned, that despite the views of someProtestant prophecy watchers, this Beast leader is NOT Russian (see also Is Russia the King of the North?). Despite claims from people like Joel Richardson, this Beast leader is also NOT Islamic (see also Is There an Islamic Antichrist?).
Actually, what is happening now is that Russia has intervened in Syria and more in Syria want to flee to Europe and the USA. This will not bode well for Europe nor the USA.
But despite Russian intervention, Syria's Assad will not last as he has. He will be gone or he will change.
Because the Bible shows that a reorganization will also happen in the predominantly Islamic nations of the Middle East and Northern Africa:
40 "At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through. 41 He shall also enter the Glorious Land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the prominent people of Ammon. 42 He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43 He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; also the Libyans and Ethiopians shall follow at his heels. (Daniel 11:40-43)
The Bible teaches that the 'king of the North' will go into the Middle East and North Africa and eliminate the leader called the 'king of the South.' The lands of the 'king of the South' are currently Islamic. Perhaps it should be mentioned that Syria is expected to support the confederation of the king of the South (see also Ezekiel 30:2-8), though the time will come that its capital, Damascus, will be destroyed (Isaiah 17:1).
This 'king of the North' is European and will be the Beast of Revelation.
The destruction of a coming Islamic confederation (see The Prophesied 'Islamic' Confederation ) will be part of the result of what is happening in the Middle East and in the West.
It should also be understood that while the Bible indicates that Europeans will defeat the Muslim peoples in the Middle East and North Africa per Daniel 11:40-43 and Ezekiel 30:2-8, the Bible also shows that the Islamic nations there will make deals with the Europeans (Daniel 11:27; Psalm 83)–these deals will NOT turn out well for the USA in the long run (cf. Daniel 11:39), nor ultimately many of the Arabic nations.
As I have been saying for a long time, Islamic migrant issues will be one of the triggers to get Europe to ultimately reorganize as the Bible teaches it will in Revelation 17:12-13, Daniel 11:21-38, Daniel 2:41-43, and other passages.
The Bible tells of a confederation involving nations in the Middle East and North Africa in the end times in Daniel 11:40-43 and Ezekiel 30:2-8 that is defeated by the Europeans. Civil unrest and likely civil war will happen, but a temporal peace will also come (Daniel 9:27; see also The 'Peace Deal' of Daniel 9:27). This temporary 'peace' will lull many into believing that the world is capable of solving its own problems. But that will be a false belief that will end (cf. 1 Thessalonians 5:3).
Now the actual biblical war prophesied in the Bible between Europe and the Arabs, will not come until more than 3 1/2 years after a 'peace deal' has been confirmed by a 'prince' (Daniel 9:26-27) who later will become the final King of the North (Daniel 11:31-44).
As I wrote, the Bible shows this leader will be European, and eventually destroy the nation with the strongest fortresses (Daniel 11:39), which in the 21st century would be the USA. He will proclaim peace and safety, but will later be praised as a successful warrior:
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. (Daniel 8:25, KJV).
3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?" (Revelation 13:3-4)
He may rise up, partially, to deal with issues related to Islamic immigrants. Once he has power, he will destroy the USA, etc. (Daniel 11:39), and then he will turn against a power in the Middle East and North Africa (Daniel 11:40-43)–a power consisting of a lot of Arabs.
The migrant situation is setting Europe up for civil unrest.
Ultimately, war will come between the Europeans and the Arabs. Europe will change, and end as we have seen it.
