The Perfect Storm Intensifies - The Convergence of Big Data, Cloud and the Internet of Things Is Now at Full Strength
By Mac Devine
Almost everyone sees the potential of Internet of Things but how can businesses truly unlock that potential. The key will be in the ability to discover business insight in the midst of an ocean of Big Data generated from billions of embedded devices via Systems of Discover. Businesses will also need to ensure that they can sustain that insight by leveraging the cloud for global reach, scale and elasticity. Without bringing these three elements together via Systems of Discover you either end up with an Internet of somethings and/or a big mess of data. [continued]

Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys. [continued]
Big Data's Potential in Helping to Secure the Internet of Things
By James G. Kobielus
The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

Lego Land: The Building Blocks of Innovation for the Enterprises
By Andrew Bolwell
Explosive technological advancement has created a molten landscape of disruption, reinvention and creation. New services arrive and become versatile building blocks for new ideas, products and businesses. As intuitive and intelligent technology relieves us of administrative burdens, we can spend more energy on what matters: curiosity, imagination, personal connection, reflection. As technology blurs lines between work and home, physical and digital, there is profound opportunity not just in what these new technologies are but in why they matter in human terms. Andrew Bolwell, HP Printing and Personal Systems Director of Innovation, reports from the dawn of the new Innovation Age. [continued]
IoT, Identity Management and WebRTC
By Peter Dunkley
We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service - possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings - and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorisation, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) irreversibly encoded. This presentation looks at how this identity problem can be solved and discusses ways to use existing web identities for real-time communication. [continued]

WebRTC and IoT – A Telehealth Rocket?
By Ivelin Ivanov
Telehealth legislation opened the floodgates for investment in modern communications services and APIs since 2010. WebRTC promises a second revolution. In his session at 2nd WebRTC Summit, Ivelin Ivanov, co-founder of TeleStax, will discuss a real-world example where telephony APIs make a difference in improving patient care and reducing healthcare costs. He will then look into a brighter telehealth future with secure, high quality, ubiquitous WebRTC video interactions. [continued]
Using Docker For a Complex Internet of Things Application
By Aater Suleman
Docker provides a user-friendly layer on top of Linux Containers (LXCs). LXCs provide operating-system-level virtualization by limiting a process's resources. In addition to using the chroot command to change accessible directories for a given process, Docker effectively provides isolation of one group of processes from other files and system processes without the expense of running another operating system. [continued]
A New Architecture for the Enterprise Internet of Things
By James Kirkland
Explosive growth in connected devices. Enormous amounts of data for collection and analysis. Critical use of data for split-second decision making and actionable information. All three are factors in making the Internet of Things a reality. Yet, any one factor would have an IT organization pondering its infrastructure strategy. [continued]

I'm working on a program that uses country and language names, which I naturally want to display localized. Considering that these are already available in the system's countries.catalog and languages.catalog, I think it would be quite absurd (and a waste of resources) if programs had to put country and language names in their own catalogs. I'd prefer if I could open the respective system catalog and retrieve the strings from there.
Would it be possible to publish the relevant locale string ID definitions as part of the SDK? So that a third-party program could request, for example, MSG_GERMANY from the system's countries.catalog.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Panel of Experts, Victim, Tell EEOC How Trafficked Workers Are Misled, Mistreated and Discriminated Against
WASHINGTON—Anti-employment discrimination laws—particularly those prohibiting race and national origin discrimination as well as sexual harassment—are an integral part of the national fight against human labor trafficking, experts testified before the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) at a meeting today. The meeting was held in conjunction with National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month.
A panel from government agencies and public interest groups, along with a victim of labor trafficking whose case the EEOC litigated, spoke about the problems in identifying, prosecuting and remedying the trafficking of people for the purpose of labor—whether bringing people from abroad under false promises of employment and wages, or from within the United States.
"President Obama has designated January as National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month," said EEOC Chair Jacqueline A. Berrien. "Today's Commission meeting highlighted the critically important role the EEOC has played in protecting the rights of victims of trafficking."
Ambassador Luis CdeBaca, Senior Advisor to the Secretary at the Department of State and an expert on the global problem of trafficking, recognized the EEOC's "crucial partnership" in the interagency efforts to combat trafficking. "The EEOC is perfectly poised to contribute to Federal government efforts to combat human trafficking because of its role to enforce laws that offer protection within the workplace," he said. "I see the EEOC's participation in federal interagency efforts to combat trafficking as a new frontier of the U.S. approach to tackling this crime and seeking justice for the victims."
Ambassador CdeBaca's view was echoed by Daniel Werner of the Immigrant Justice Project, part of the Southern Poverty Law Center, who told the Commission that "employment discrimination claims are often a critical component of litigation on behalf of human trafficking survivors. The willingness of traffickers to target individuals of specific national origins based on stereotypes about who best performs certain jobs or is less likely or able to complain about exploitation places many human trafficking cases squarely within the purview of the EEOC." Trafficking is not just a case of undocumented immigrants, he pointed out in testimony echoed by other witnesses, in many instances unscrupulous labor traffickers exploit visa programs designed to bring guest workers into the country legally.
Perhaps the most poignant testimony came from a victim of trafficking, Sathaporn Pronsrisirisak, one of the charging parties in EEOC's case against Trans Bay Steel. Speaking through an interpreter and at times overcome with emotion, Mr. Pronsrisirisak detailed how he was lured to the United States from Thailand with the promise of lucrative work as a welder, mortgaging his family's home and land to pay the exorbitant "processing" fee demanded by the trafficker. Instead of high-paying welding work, he was held against his will in an apartment without electricity or water, had his passport confiscated and his movements restricted, and was forced to work in a Thai restaurant without pay. He finally escaped—and through the EEOC's lawsuit, was given the promised job at Trans Bay, along with monetary relief, educational benefits, and a visa enabling him to remain in the country and to be reunited with his family.
"Even though I was exposed to the worst in America, but at the same time I could also see the best that this country has to offer," he told the Commission. "For example, the law that brought justice for the residents who were less fortunate and were being taken advantage off and never dreamed that this type of justice would exist in the society."
Florrie Burke of Freedom Network USA, an umbrella organization of non-government organizations combating forced labor, discussed best practices for identifying victims and pursuing civil litigation. She praised the EEOC and particularly two regional attorneys for patiently developing and pursuing complicated labor trafficking cases—Robert Canino, regional attorney in Dallas, who brought a case against the James Pickle Co. involving men trafficked from India with the promise of well-paying jobs, but who were kept in servitude, degraded and denied wages; and Anna Park, regional attorney in Los Angeles, for her work on the Trans Bay Steel case.
"I would say that human trafficking is not only an immigration issue, it is not only a criminal issue, it is not only a moral issue or women and children's' issue—it is a human rights issue and needs to be regarded as such," she told the Commission.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. More information about the EEOC is available at www.eeoc.gov. Specific information about the meeting, including witness statements and biographies, is available at http://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/meetings/1-19-11/index.cfm.

The 148th academic year at Hope College will begin formally with the college's Opening Convocation on Sunday, Aug. 30, at 2 p.m. in the Richard and Helen DeVos Fieldhouse.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
The featured speaker will be Dr. Peter Schakel, who is the Peter C. and Emajean Cook Professor of English at Hope.
Residence halls for new students will open on Friday, Aug. 28, at 10 a.m., with New Student Orientation beginning later that day and continuing through Monday, Aug. 31. Residence halls for returning students will open on Sunday, Aug. 30, at noon. Fall semester classes will begin on Tuesday, Sept. 1, at 8 a.m.
Hope facilities will again be put to good use. Based on projections, the college is anticipating more than 800 freshmen and transfer students and an overall enrollment of more than 3,100 for the sixth consecutive year.
The major change greeting students will be the return of Graves Hall, which is reopening with the start of classes after being closed since May 2008 for an adaptive restoration. The $5.7 million project has emphasized restoring the character of the 1894 building as it existed before major interior renovations in the 1960s and 1980s while also meeting contemporary standards for access, safety and use. A variety of re-dedication activities are being planned for the college's Homecoming Weekend, which runs Friday-Sunday, Oct. 9-11.
Work has also progressed on the Van Andel Soccer Stadium. Hope broke ground on Friday, May 1, and a dedication is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 17, when both teams have home games.
In addition, the college relocated its Mouw Cottage/Spanish House from Lincoln Avenue between 11th and 12th streets to 14th Street west of Columbia Avenue, and also razed the former Sixth Reformed Church building to make way for potential future projects.
Schakel has been a member of the Hope faculty since 1969, and has held his endowed professorship since 1984.
He is an internationally respected scholar of C.S. Lewis's work. He has published seven books on Lewis, including most recently "The Way into Narnia: A Reader's Guide" in 2005 and "Is Your Lord Large Enough? How C.S. Lewis Expands Our View of God" in 2008.
Schakel has also written and edited books on Jonathan Swift and 18th-century British literature, and has co-authored or co-edited four literature and poetry textbooks with colleague Jack Ridl, professor emeritus of English.
In 2004, Hope presented him with the "Ruth and John Reed Faculty Achievement Award," bestowed upon a faculty member who is a superior teacher and has also contributed significantly to some other area of professional life. He has received external recognition including a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) fellowship for college teachers during 1979-80; NEH summer seminar support in 1981, 1987 and 1997; and Mythopoeic Society Scholarship Awards in 1984, 1992 and 1996.
Schakel graduated from Central College in Iowa in 1963. He completed his M.A. at Southern Illinois University in 1964, and his doctorate at the University of Wisconsin in 1969.
The DeVos Fieldhouse is located at 222 Fairbanks Ave., between Ninth and 11th streets.

So probably as so many of as I am using noise and smoke procedural maps quite a lot. And they are kind of basic building blocks for many organic shaders. So Normally when we model anything.. don't know say a wall… there are areas where we would like to use different textures for different parts of simple, flat wall. The wall beneath a window can have very different colors and bumps, and stuff. There is more dirt gathering there, the patterns of rain and wind affect it differently… also we spit through a window, throw stuff… it all leaves marks on a wall. Normally artist would have to create different materials for all these things, and then draw a mask, where to use one material and where second one should go. Why not to help artist a bit and make some of masks automatically?
And how do we do that? Lets see an image here:
So lets say we apply our new material, or map to a geometry. Now what it does is, it builds a a list of angular values of vertexies, or rather edges. And then according to values, we generate gradients. Which are our masks. And of course just to use angular values would be not enough, we would what to have ability to change contours from linear to add noise smoke and so on ….. its something like fallof map in max… would it work???
ps. also some easy ready made function shuld be added for horisontal stripes, something like what u have due to running whater. aka rain. could be simple streched noise. or something…

How does this proof work / can someone provide a link to a paper? This is exercise 6.7 of Computational Complexity a Modern Approach. I know the following:
(1) P = NP -> EXP = NEXP (by padding) (2) exists f: {0,1}^n -> {0,1} that takes at least O(2^n/n) , by pigeon hole (3) any f:{0,1}^n -> {0,1} can be done in O(2^n/n), by Shannon's clever result from 49 (4) Looks like I'm supposed t use NEXP to "guess" a circuit of some sort.
I've also googled around, and there's references to some famous work by Razabov's work, I can't figure out which paper.
Question: What step am I missing in proving this classical, well known result?

Two German engineers have managed to develop (without any external technological help or financial support) an electric bike that looks like a mix between a motorcycle and a mountain bike. The so-called Elmoto is powered by a 2KW engine and boasts a driving range of up to 65km with a single battery charge (which costs around $1).
Weighing just 45kg (the frame is made of aluminum), drivers can go as fast as 45km/h. The lithium-ion battery-powered Elmoto is being marketed as a "green" vehicle since it doesn't emit carbon dioxide. German customers don't even need to have a driver's license to use it, but this may be different in other EU countries (the owners currently try hard to internationalize their invention, at least in the EU).
The developers of the e-bike hope to ship 100 units by the end of this year and then significantly boost sales in 2010. The Elmoto costs $5,700.

The Plug-in Development Environment (PDE) provides tools to create, develop, test, debug, build and deploy Eclipse plug-ins, fragments, features, update sites and RCP products.
PDE also provides comprehensive OSGi tooling, which makes it an ideal environment for component programming, not just Eclipse plug-in development.
PDE is built atop the Platform and JDT, and ships as part of the Eclipse SDK.
In PDE we do tooling, but our business is people!
The PDE subproject is broken down into three main components, Build, UI and API Tools. Each of these components operate like a project unto its own, with its own set of committers, bug categories and mailing lists. There are two additional components in PDE, Doc which handles the help documentation and Incubator which develops non-SDK features.
|PDE Build
|Ant based tools and scripts to automate build processes
|Models, builders, editors and more to faciliate plug-in development in the Eclipse IDE.
|PDE API Tools
|Eclipse IDE and build process integrated tooling to maintain API
|PDE Incubator
|Development of new tools that are not ready to be added to the Eclipse SDK
|PDE Doc
|Help documentation for PDE, shared by the other components.
The development of PDE is driven by the community in an open and transparent manner. By getting involved with PDE, you can help influence the future of the platform improve the quality of Eclipse. There are many ways to assist, filing bug reports, contributing fixes, producing new features, participating in milestone testing, etc. Each PDE component has its own bug triage rules, coding guidelines, and testing format, however a good place to start is the PDE UI Getting Involved page.

Michael Jackson can still turn out a hit.
The King of Pop's official website released Jackson's first posthumous single, "This is It," at midnight on Monday.
The mournful track is streaming at michaeljackson.com and will be sent to radio stations nationwide.
On Sunday, a 43-second clip was leaked to TMZ and other websites a few hours before its official release.
"This is it/ here I stand/ I'm the light of the world, I feel grand," Jackson sings, Bloomberg News first reported.
The "brand new song marks yet another exciting moment in music history for one of the world's most revered artists; featuring backing vocals by Michael's brothers," according to Jackson's site.
"This is It" will appear at the end of the upcoming Jackson film of the same name due in U.S. theaters on Oct. 27, and on the film's companion 2-CD set on Sony Music.
The film shows Jackson rehearsing for what was supposed to be a comeback 50-concert run at London's O2 Arena.
None of those shows came to pass.
On June 25, Jackson, 50, died unexpectedly of a prescription drug overdose.

Due to the migratory nature of ducks and geese, many of these activities are coordinated with other states, multiple federal agencies and private conservation groups. Consequently, Waterfowl Program personnel represent LDWF on various committees which are involved in formulating state, regional and national programs that have impacts on wetlands and waterfowl.
The objective of the Waterfowl Program is to manage waterfowl resources and wetlands to provide for optimum wildlife benefits and quality outdoor experiences.
Louisiana is arguably the most important wintering area for waterfowl in the United States. Hordes of ducks and geese have utilized the coastal bays and marshes, flooded swamps, agricultural fields, inland lakes, river backwaters and oxbows for hundreds of years. Those habitats provide for the needs of a large proportion of Mississippi Flyway waterfowl during migration and winter, and for those of breeding wood ducks, mottled ducks, and a growing number of whistling ducks. The wetlands of Louisiana and their associated waterfowl attract hunters, birdwatchers, and scientists alike.
Waterfowl hunting is incredibly popular in Louisiana, and our harvest ranks at or near the top. According to the most recent USFWS Waterfowl Harvest Report [3], duck harvest in Louisiana ranked 1st and 4th in 2003 and 2004 respectively. That duck-hunting activity brings a lot of economic activity to the State. The latest evaluation of the economic impact of waterfowl hunting in the United States showed that hunters spent 1-million days and $105,000,000 hunting ducks in Louisiana in 2001.
In order to meet public demands for this resource, Waterfowl Program personnel offer technical assistance to improve wetland habitat on public and private lands to provide food for wintering ducks and geese, nest-sites and brood-rearing habitat for breeding wood ducks, and to improve hunting opportunities. They coordinate and participate in research efforts with other LDWF personnel, university staff, government agencies, and conservation organizations. Several population monitoring surveys are conducted by Program personnel to develop population indices, track population trends and document distribution of waterfowl. Lastly, biologists in the Waterfowl Program are an integral part of the Mississippi Flyway Council Technical Committee that gathers and interprets the technical data used to set annual waterfowl hunting regulations.

I am going to admit to you all now that I failed Red, which was the third level of swimming at the time. I don't think they use a color system now, but I am sure they still require you to be able to stay above the water – or as those buoyant people like to call it "treading water". I guess I should thank all my elementary school friends for having all of their birthday parties at the wave pool (a.k.a. Hell) because eventually I was able to teach myself to tread water.
I came across the work of Sam Green recently and despite my childhood of tsunami-like birthday parties, I found them to be quite beautiful. These are pencil on paper, folks. Real talent.

In May, Gamesa announced that it was looking for 394 redundancies from the closure of the Albacete and Tudela plants, and the downscaling of As Somozas.
The company settled with the unions on 52 fewer redundancies with 102 relocation offers. Severance was set at 33 days pay per year worked.
The job cuts are part the 2013-2015 restructuring plans laid out by chief executive Ignacio Martin in October 2012 to cut 20% of its global workforce.
He said the cuts would be mainly in China, the US and Europe, totalling around 1,800. Spain is likely to take the brunt of the European job losses.

Determine if the ROV has enough thrust to lift the cannon
o Return the cannon to the surface side of the pool*
- Mark the location of metal cannon shells
o Identify the location of metal cannon shells
o Place markers at the cannon shell locations
*Companies may return the cannon to the surface, side of the pool by any means they wish, with the exception of lifting and recovering the cannon manually. No team member can physically lift or pull the cannon to the surface.
What follows is a summary of the electrical and fluid power requirements for the EXPLORER class. The complete design and building specifications will be included within the competition manual.
NOTE: Watch for new safety requirements and additional, detailed electrical specifications within the competition manuals.
- 48 volts, 30 amps DC. Conversion to lower voltages must be done on the ROV, not topside.
- Pneumatics and hydraulics are permitted provided that the team passes the MATE Fluid Power Safety Quiz and follows the specifications included within the competition manual.
- Lasers are permitted provided that the team follows the specifications included within the competition manual.
- Camera is required.
- Depth requirement at the international competition: 4 meters.
- Maximum size: 92 cm in diameter. Vehicles above this size will not be allowed to compete in the product demonstration. See below for additional details on size requirements.
- Maximum weight: 35 kg. See below for additional details on weight requirements.
In light of some of the environments in which the ROVs will be operating, the Eastman Company has included an ROV size and weight requirement in the request for proposals (RFP). Smaller, lighter vehicles will be given special consideration and vehicles above a certain size and weight will not be considered.
All size and weight measurements will include the vehicle, all tools and components, and the tether. The topside control system and 1 meter of tether going into the control system will NOT be included in the length or weight measurement. To receive points for smaller sized vehicles, the two largest dimensions of the vehicle and tether must fit through a round hole of the following dimensions:
|WEIGHT (in air)
|< 64cm diameter
|< 20kg
|64.1cm to 75cm
|20.01kg to 28kg
|75.1cm to 92cm
|28.01kg to 35kg
Vehicles above 92 cm in diameter, or greater than 35 kg in weight, will not be allowed to compete in the product demonstration.
NOTE: In addition to the size and/or weight limitations described above, companies must be able to personally transport the vehicle and associated equipment to the product demonstration station and to the technical sales presentation room. The ROV systems must be capable of being safely hand launched.
Teams are permitted to use the materials of their choice provided that they are safe, will not damage or otherwise mar the competition environment, and are within the defined design and building specifications.
Teams are encouraged to focus on engineering a vehicle to complete the product demonstration tasks; when considering design choices, teams should ask themselves which one most efficiently and effectively allows them to solve the problem. Re-using components built by previous team members is permitted provided that the current team members evaluate, understand, and can explain their engineering and operational principles. Using or re-using commercial components is also permitted, provided that team members evaluate, understand, and can explain their engineering and operational principles. Teams will be questioned extensively on their overall design and component selections during their technical sales presentations.
The complete competition manual will be released by December 1st, 2018; teams have from that date until the regional events in the spring of 2019 to construct their vehicles and prepare the engineering and communication components (technical reports, engineering presentations, and poster displays). Visit the MATE website at www.marinetech.org or request to be added to the MATE competition listserve to ensure a timely delivery.

I love you. I just wanted to tell you that first. I also want to sip some tea with you, in the garden, with cats on our laps.
My name is Pamela. I was born and raised in the coal mines of Pennsylvania where I helped my father grow his tomato plants so high we couldn't see out the kitchen window in the summer. I then moved to Pittsburgh, PA to attend art school much to the confusion of all my family. There I met a boy named Matthew who wore tall striped socks and had matching neon blue hair as me, so I fell in love with him. We moved in together quickly and he brought his childhood cat Essy along. I also fell in love with Essy. Shortly after finishing school, we packed up all our belongings in a U-Haul and moved from one city to the city; New York City. We moved to Brooklyn in 2005 and we have lived here since.
A year after we moved to New York, we got another cat, Xanadu. Then a few years later we got another cat, FiFi Bofinkles. Then a few days later we got our fourth cat, Brother Bear. I'm dearly in love with our furry critter babies. You can find me usually on the floor talking to them in baby voices or dancing with them in my arms while kissing them. If I'm at a friend's house you can can probably find me on their floor talking to their cat in baby voices. I love cats. I really love all animals. Animal documentaries make me cry, nature is brutal – why can't everyone get along?
Essy, Xanadu, FiFi Bofinkles, Brother
Update: Our beloved Essy died in January 2014. She was the love of our lives. We'll always remember her as the Queen of our home and hearts. I made a long post dedicated to her.
Update: In March 2014 we added a kitten to the family. His name is Goblin and he is crazy.
Update: In July 2015 we added a beautiful Maine Coon girl to the family. Her name is Toes and she is full of love!
So yeah, we have 5 cats. They all get along. Sort of.
Every summer Matthew and I talked about gardening memories that we both experienced. We had no back yard, we had no soil to dig into, so we thought – what if we make a garden many stories up on our roof? It started small, just a few containers, then every year later it continues to expand. Today's garden remains on our rooftop that many people refer to as a mini farm due to the numerous crops we grow. We grow broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, peppers, beans, sugar snap peas, potatoes, pumpkins, watermelon, kale, strawberries, onions, carrots, sprouts, lettuce, soy beans, corn, cucumbers and more. We happily spend many hours there every single week during the growing season getting our hands (and nails) dirty.
So that's how Brooklyn Farm Girl began. I wanted to share with others my experience of living in a big city but has that itch sometimes for a small town life.

Summer in Lapland, land of the midnight sun
By George Webster, CNN • Published 3rd May 2012
View Gallery
10 Pictures
You'd be forgiven for not knowing, but the end of April marks a very important date in the Swedish calendar.
"Walpurgis Eve" celebrates the transition from winter to summer. Every year bonfires are lit, songs are sung and it's not unheard of for parties to go on late into the night.
Why such jubilation? Because the Nordic winters are dark, cold, long and cruel. Meanwhile, the summers -- while hardly exotic -- are bright and full of opportunities that are otherwise prohibited by the fearfully inhospitable climate.
Nowhere is this truer than in the far north of Sweden, where temperatures range from minus 40 C (minus 40 F) in the winter to plus 30 C (86 F) in the summer.
Along with a portion of neighboring Finland, the area is more commonly known as Lapland, and while the region retains an association with flying reindeer and a jolly bearded man, it is in fact home to a flourishing indigenous people called the Sami, as well as a magnificent parade of scenic treats that truly come alive in the summer.
If you're not convinced, read on for four reasons to plan your summer vacation in Lapland.
The midnight sun

Due to its location north of the Arctic Circle, Lapland is bathed in sunlight around the clock, non-stop for two precious months a year.
This geographical quirk means that -- throughout June and July -- visitors can enjoy the rare spectacle of the midnight sun, where notions of day and night are quickly forgotten. The dim pink midnight light lends the landscape an unearthly dimension, and permits the novel experience of midnight forest hikes and even 24-hour golfing sessions.
Indeed, the excruciatingly picturesque "
Björkliden GC
" -- the northernmost golf course in Sweden, is a favorite among midnight golfers, nestled discreetly as it is between Sweden's mountain borders and the icy clear Lake Torneträsk.
Here, the fairways and greens are designed to showcase the scenery and, halfway through the course, players can reflect on their performance over a cup of hot coffee inside a traditional Sami tent.

Skiing in your t-shirt
Situated 250 kilometers up from the Arctic Circle,
is the most northerly ski resort in Europe.
Unlike most European ski resorts, however, Riksgränsen doesn't really get going until the sun starts hanging around for longer at the beginning of March. By June, it is sometimes warm enough on the slopes to ski in shorts and a t-shirt. Factor in a midnight-sun ski run, and you've a unique proposition by anybody's standards.
Novices be warned though -- while Riksgränsen has some world-class facilities and a range of 17 slopes that it says are suitable for all abilities, the resort is principally renowned for it's off-piste action, which is both technically challenging and, with a mountainous climb back up, physically demanding.
Summer hikes

With its great forests, wild rivers and ominous mountains, Lapland has acquired the moniker of "Europe's last wilderness." Here, the mountain range drops towards Norway and curves into Finland, forming the backbone of Sweden, and there are around 2,000 mountains and caves that can be explored throughout the region.
But while the winter months are dark, treacherous and shrouded in a white uniform of snow, summer brings with it the chance to see this part of the world in all its green grassy goodness.
The magnificent "King's Trail" -- one of Sweden's most popular trekking routes -- opens up in June. The 440 kilometer footslog from the botanical wonderland of Abisko National Park in the north, to the pretty backpacker's town of Harnavan in the south, taking in the giant Kebnekaise -- Sweden's highest mountain - is divided into four portions that represent roughly one week of hiking each.
Wooden huts are dotted along the trail, spread over distances a walker should expect to cover in the course of day (about nine to 22 kilometers). Those on a tight budget -- or with a penchant for roughing it -- can pitch a tent outside and use the facilities.
Summertime "Ice Hotel"
After 25 years in business, Lapland's famous 'Ice Hotel' is now available for summer bookings
Courtesy martin jakobsson/visitsweden.com
Lapland is also home to the world's first and largest "
Ice Hotel
" -- where guests bunk down on a bed of ice blocks and a reindeer skin-covered mattress. In fact almost everything, from the chandeliers to the tables and chairs, is made from ice and snow.
First built in 1989, in the remote village of Jukkasjärvi, when the founders of an ice-sculpting course invited some of their students to stay the night, the Ice Hotel has for years been a winter-only operation.
But now, for the first time, the hotel will open its frosty doors in the summer. As every year, the latest incarnation has been crafted from scratch by a team of sculptors using blocks of frozen water from the nearby Torne River.
The founders describe it as both boutique accommodation and "ephemeral art project" -- as the fruit of their labor vanishes in the sun as each season comes to an end.
