The majority of US enterprises will increase their spending on cloud computing by up to 50% this year, according to US based researcher Clutch.
Conversely, the research also indicates that 6% of enterprises will cut their spending on cloud. The survey of 300 IT professionals at medium to large enterprises could indicate the different uses for cloud computing, with some companies using it to manage costs while others use it as a strategic weapon.
The study found that nearly 30% of the sample will maintain their current levels of cloud spending, with 6% saying they will reduce their cloud computing budget. A significant minority, 47%, identified efficiency improvements as the main benefit of cloud computing. There were no figures on whether performance improvements may encourage companies to spend less money on cloud services in future however.
The statistics on the uses for cloud computing do not suggest this is a tactical, strategic investment, however. The most popular motive cited for enterprise cloud usage, in the US, would appear to be better file storage, which was nominated as the primary objective for buying cloud services by 70% of the survey. The next most popular application of the cloud, backup and disaster recovery, which was nominated by 62% of the IT professionals, is another cost item. However, the cloud was chosen for application deployment among 51% of the sample, but there was no breakdown of whether this was viewed as a cost saving measure or a tactical investment. Similarly, the figures for the numbers of buyers who used the cloud for testing, 46%, was not broken down into tactical and cost saving motives.
Microsoft’s Azure has promised more speed, lower cache demands and better data retention among a range of improvement to its cloud backup services for enterprise data.
Azure Backup now uses a technology called Update Sequence Number (USN) Journal in Windows to track the files that have changed between consecutive backups. USN keeps track of these changes to files and directories on the volume and this helps to identify changed files quickly.
The upshot of this tweak is a faster backup time. “We’ve seen up to a 50% reduction of backup times when using this optimization,” said Giridhar Mosay, Azure’s Program Manager for Cloud and Enterprise. Individual file server backup times will vary according to numbers and sizes of files and directory structure, Mosay warned.
A new algorithm that computes metadata has slashed the amount of cache space needed for each Azure Backup by 66%. The standard allocation of 15% cache space per volume size being backed up to Azure has proved prohibitive for volumes greater than 10TB. The new algorithm makes the cataloguing of the file space to be backed up a much more efficient process, which creates so much less metadata that it demands only 5% cache space, or less. Azure is now modifying its requirement for cache space to a third of the old level.
Meanwhile the resilience of the system has improved as Azure Backup has increased the number of recovery points for cloud backups. This allows for flexible retention policies to meet stringent compliance requirements such as HIPAA (the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) for large enterprises. The new maximum number of recovery points has increased from 366 to 9999.
Other tweaks include more timeouts across the various phases of backup process to ensure that long running jobs complete reliably. Cloud backups will also run a bit more efficiently as a result of a decoupling of the processes of cataloguing and uploading the backup data. Intermittent failures, in the service to handle incremental backups, have also been identified and resolved, according to Mosay. “We are continuing our journey to make Azure backup enterprise grade,” he said.
Microsoft has aggregated all the information about its cloud services into one single point of reference, in an attempt to clarify and simplify the increasingly ethereal nature of the cloud.
The announcement, in a blog on the company web site, comes in the same week that one of the new incarnations of HP, Hewlett Packard Enterprises (HPE), repositioned itself as a reseller of Microsoft’s Azure public cloud services.
With the onset of the cloud industry reshaping both the IT industry and companies, the software company turned cloud service vendor has moved to clarify the picture for enterprise buyers.
The new Microsoft Trust Center aims to unify all the different strands of its enterprise cloud services, as confused customers customer began to clamour for a single version of the truth, instead of having to choose between multiple references issued by a choice of Microsoft trusted resources. In the new scheme, the Microsoft Trust Center will be a consistent source of information about all its enterprise cloud services, such as Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online, Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Office 365.
The Microsoft blog post says the Trust Center will be built on security, privacy and control, compliance and transparency. To this end it will advise cloud buyers on how Microsoft’s cloud services will observe international and regional standards, privacy and data protection policies and security features and function.
On Tuesday it was announced that HPE was to become a Microsoft Azure reseller partner, while in return HPE will become a preferred cloud services provider when Microsoft customers need help. The new arrangement, revealed by HPE CEO Meg Whitman in a quarterly analyst call, illustrates how the IT industry is being reshaped around the new hybridisation of computing services. The arrangement means HPE can sell its own hardware and cloud computing software to companies for the private, ‘on-premise’ part of the private-public combination. Meanwhile, the public cloud will be provided by Microsoft’s Azure computing service.
Transparency, according to the Microsoft Trust Center blog, is to be one of the foundations of cloud services.
The vast majority of businesses now use cloud computing but most feel ripped off, according to a study.
Research firm Vanson Bourne has canvassed a sample of 200 chief information officers (CIOs) for their feedback on cloud computing. The results show that almost all (186 out of 200) use the cloud in some form. However, almost as many of them (160 of the 200 CIOs) agreed that ‘ripped off’ was the multiple choice answer that best described their feelings over support services.
If the survey was statistically significant and was representative of industry wide sentiment, then 80 per cent of British businesses feel they are paying a high premium for basic support on their cloud services. While the penetration of cloud computing is high, with 93 per cent of businesses now using ‘some form’ of the service, some 84 per cent of the total sample said that it has not met their expectations on reducing support.
The most common problems presented by the survey were: slow response times to customer service queries (which was identified by 47 per cent of the sample), call handlers lacking technical knowledge (41 per cent), over-use of automated phone lines (33 per cent), complicated escalation processes (28 per cent) and a lack of 24/7 cover (19 per cent).
The results suggest that support from service providers is poor, according to Richard Davies, CEO of service provider ElasticHosts, which sponsored the independent study.
Companies adopt cloud in order to remove the headache of managing IT and the burden on in-house IT staff, so they expect to provide less support themselves, Davies said. For precisely that reason, the cloud service provider must not run a skeleton support service, Davies argued. Too often, according to Davies, companies have to pay a high premium to get the same level of service they got from their internal support.
“When using any service, you want to be able to ask questions, whether to learn how to configure a server or to query a bill. You should be able to do this without having to pay a hefty premium,” said Davies.
Asking a cloud service a technical question frequently involves a long wait and a call that is re-routed through an automated service. Ultimately a human call handler will admit they don’t know the answer, according to Davies.
Little known unbranded manufacturers are making inroads into the storage market as the cloud commoditises the industry storage, according to a new report by market researcher IDC. Meanwhile, the market for traditional external storage systems is shrinking, it warns.
The data centres of big cloud companies like Google and Facebook are much more likely to buy from smaller, lesser known storage vendors now, as they are no longer compelled to commit themselves to specialised storage platforms, said IDC in its latest Enterprise Storage report.
Revenue for original design manufacturers (ODMs) that sell directly to hyperscale data-center operators grew 25.8 per cent in the second quarter of 2015, in a period when overall industry revenue rose just 2.1 per cent. However, data centre purchases accounted for US$1 billion in the second quarter, while the overall industry revenue is still larger, for now, at $8.8 billion. However, the growth trends indicate that a shift in buying power will take place, according to IDC analyst Eric Sheppard. Increasingly, the platform of choice for storage is a standard x86 server dedicated to storing data, said Sheppard.
ODMs such as Quanta Computer and Wistron are becoming increasingly influential, said Sheppard. Like many low-profile vendors, based in Taiwan, they are providing hardware to be sold under the badges of better known brand names, as sales of server-based storage rose 10 per cent in the second quarter to reach $2.1 billion.
Traditional external systems like SANs (storage area networks) are still the bulk of the enterprise storage business, which was worth $5.7 billion in revenue for the quarter. But sales in this segment are declining, down 3.9 per cent in that period.
With the cloud transferring the burden of processing to data centres, the biggest purchasers of storage are now Internet giants and cloud service providers. Typically their hyper-scale data centres are software controlled and no longer need the more expensive proprietary systems that individual companies were persuaded to buy, according to the report. Generic, unbranded hardware is sufficient, provided that it is software defined, the report said.
“The software, not the hardware, defines the storage architecture,” said Sheppard. The cloud has made it possible to define the management of storage in more detail, so that the resources can be matched more evenly to each virtual machine. This has cut the long term operating costs. These changes will intensify in the next five years, the analyst predicted.
EMC remained the biggest vendor by revenue with just over 19 per cent of the market, followed by Hewlett-Packard with just over 16 per cent.
US enterprise tech giant IBM has revealed a new global partnership with cloud storage outfit Box to integrate their products and sell into vertically targeted enterprise markets.
More specifically the strategic alliance will combine Box’s cloud collaboration platform with a number of IBM solutions, including analytics, cloud and security. Both companies will sell the combined products.
The alliance will focus on three main areas: content management and social collaboration; enterprise cloud, security and consulting; and custom app development for industries. The general thread of the announcement seems to be a desire to bring cloud applications to regions and industries that are not currently making the most of them and is just the latest in a sequence of collaborations by both Box and IBM.
Apprenda today launched a free, cloud version of its private Platform as a Service (PaaS) for .NET enterprise applications. With ApprendaCloud, .NET developers always have access to a free environment for individual projects or to experiment with the Apprenda platform without requiring a download and install of its private PaaS.
Apprenda has made it dead simple for developers to familiarize themselves with a private PaaS solution, trusted by enterprises like Honeywell, AmerisourceBergen and Quest Software. ApprendaCloud includes easy, interactive tutorials that guide developers through building world-class enterprise applications as well as the most common PaaS scenarios – deploying an application, scaling application components, and more.
When applications on ApprendaCloud are market ready, users can download an on-premises install of Apprenda’s private PaaS. The Apprenda platform can be consumed as a downloadable installer, virtual machine images, licensed product or PaaS service.

The desire to eat healthy regularly is often outweighed by the proximity to quick and inexpensive food options. Kimbal Musk, Elon’s brother, has a deep understanding of this desire, which is why he’s been at the forefront of healthy food for the past six years. Starting in 2011, the ex-Silicon Valley entrepreneur launched a nonprofit organization called Learning Gardens. Starting from the root of where eating habits are formed, Musk installed these gardens in 300 schools to help educate young children about the value of nutrition and healthy eating.
To bring the concept of truly healthy eating mainstream, Musk decided to focus on how to best provide a fast and cheap food service that at its core was health-based. Just over 10 years ago, Musk opened up two restaurant options to accomplish this: the Kitchen, an upscale dining experience, and Next Door, which has a more laid-back experience. Both of these restaurants source their food from what local farmers are already growing, which changes the menu depending upon the location. Given that Next Door has more affordable options for the average American, Musk has now decided to expand the chain to cities nationwide.
By 2020, Musk plans to open 50 new Next Door locations. The main goal of this rapid expansion is to ensure there are healthy, affordable options for the up-and-coming millennial generation.

The 2D barcode in conjunction with the smartphone is proving to be not just an information gateway, but a portal capable of connecting the physical with the digital. We're seeing more and more companies utilize 2D barcodes to connect their physical and digital platforms. Not only does this expand the capabilities of print, for example, it also delivers a dose of interactivity to today's participation hungry consumer.
The latest print megastar to make a commitment to interactivity is USA TODAY. The company just announced that each print section of the paper will contain at least one Microsoft Tag, Microsoft's proprietary and colorful version of a 2D barcode. Readers can go to http://gettag.mobi on their mobile devices to download the free Microsoft Tag reader application.
Readers can scan the Tag with their mobile device for direct access to videos and online content. The Tags will provide readers with access to USA TODAY's daily photo galleries and the latest financial news and sports scores, as well as other video and digital features.
"This initiative is part of our goal to bring together our digital and print platforms to provide our readers easier access to special features from the newspaper. We are proud to be one of the first U.S. newspapers to offer these daily to readers as well as to advertisers who can also take advantage of this new feature," said Dave Hunke, president and publisher of USA TODAY.
As Hunke points out above, the reader is not the only one who will benefit from the Tags. Introducing 2D barcodes into a print publication also expands advertising opportunities, allowing advertisers to connect with the readership on a level deeper than traditional print advertising.

There is power in simplicity.
For more than 15 years, we started the simple discipline of picking a one word theme for the year. That is right—ONE WORD. Not a phrase, not a statement, just a ONE WORD vision for the year. And to this point, it has been nothing short of life-changing.
We drift toward complexity but drive toward simplicity.
As time goes by, life gets complicated. Stuff piles up, and we become overwhelmed. We look back on the year and say, “Did I get anything accomplished?” If you are like us, you have done your fair share of goal-setting at the start of each new year. You begin to feel guilty as you fall short in your ambitious plans.
Narrow the focus the greater impact.
We need to be intentional and bring clarity to our life, family, calling, work, relationships, marriage and our walk with God. We need some grit to cut through all the junk and bring simplicity to our lives. Trust me; no one is going to do it for you! Reach deep into your soul and drink deep from the well of tenacity. Get a ONE WORD vision for 2012 that produces passion!
So, let's get to the practical side of the ONE WORD vision.There are are seven steps below to help you discover your ONE WORD. Keep in mind that the process takes time, but that it is worth it. Whether you are an athlete, coach, parent or business leader, this process can facilitate breakthrough for you in every area of your life.
1. Prepare your heart through prayer and fasting.
Spend time in prayer and ask God to reveal the ONE WORD to you. Remember, you do not pick the word, but God reveals to you what He wants to teach you in the coming year. Spend extended time in prayer and even consider fasting.
While reading your Bible, ask the Lord to highlight or bring to your attention a verse or story. This provides great insight and will help you ground your word in the Word of God. Commit that verse or passage to memory.
3. Evaluate all of your roles.
Each of us plays many different roles in life (e.g., athlete, coach, parent, spouse, leader, athlete, friend, sibling etc.). As you pray and think through those roles, pay attention to what God shows you. This step will help you understand the lives you impact and those that impact you. What is it that God wants to take hold of in your life and use for His glory? What area of your life do you need to surrender? What character trait does God want to develop within you? Which fruit of the Spirit does He want you to live out?
4. Do NOT seek counsel from others.
Seeking advice from godly counsel regarding issues or problems in your life is essential, but we would highly recommend not asking for ONE WORD ideas from friends, spouses or accountability partners. Everyone will give you an opinion, but you aren't seeking their opinions. You're not even seeking your own opinion. You're seeking God's opinion.
5. Ask God for the ONE WORD.
Ask God for the word. Just as Samuel said, "Speak, Lord, your servant is listening," you need to humble yourself and ask God to drop the word into your heart, mind and soul. Be open and willing. The word can be a fruit of the Spirit (kindness, faithfulness), attribute of God (holiness, mercy), discipline (prayer, memorization), person (spouse, child), biblical principle (harvest, stewardship), spiritual focus (devotion, intimacy, passion), character trait (commitment, perseverance), values (integrity, teamwork) or characteristic of Christ (serving, humility). Listen for the Lord's prompting.
6. Share your word with trusted people.
Once you have your ONE WORD, it is important to share it with your best friend, husband or wife, accountability partner or pastor. Prayerfully consider who you need to share your word with. Ask them to pray for you and to hold you accountable so that God can do His work in you.
7. Live out your ONE WORD.
As you begin to live out your word on a daily basis, be sensitive to the Lord's leading. Be open to learning more as He reveals Scripture, quotes and books for you to use. Keep a journal and write down the insights and lessons throughout the year.

The global ADME/Tox market is projected to reach US$6.2 billion by 2016. This is due in no small part to the fact that most drugs that fail in the clinical development stage do so because of ADME-tox issues. Because failure at or after the clinical trial phase can be economically devastating, many companies are applying ADME-tox technology early in the drug discovery process to eliminate poor candidates before reaching clinical trials.
ADMEcell’s lead product, the CacoReady™ Kit brings an innovative tool for evaluating the intestinal absorption of compounds to the North American market. The kit offers savings of both cost and time, and is both easy to use and compatible with automation, in support of high-throughput needs. Subsequent products will share these leading-edge qualities and enable ADME-tox scientists to perform more efficient in vitro therapeutic modeling and re-profiling.

The second problem is that oftentimes if you do find something they are prepared to offer on but they are not alone… you are forced into a multiple offer situation which makes it very difficult to be efficient with your time.
1. Tell your prospect you need to meet with them so you can have a “buyer strategy review session”. The purpose of this meeting is to go over “what we’ve learned together and we will decide on a plan for what we should do next”. This is where you can educate your buyer so they can move forward in the home buying process.
#3. Expand the area you want to move to”.
Help them decide which is the best approach to get the job done now.
3. This is a tough one but you need to be realistic – even if they aren’t. You are not a Magician! If your buyer is not prepared to change their strategy then you need to change yours… it’s not your job to find something that doesn’t exist. Put them on the back burner and stop spending so much time looking for a needle in a haystack.
4. Here’s one more idea before you go after another buyer… you can always door knock the area they are looking at to see if there are any “pocket listings” that have not listed yet.
Conclusion: Don’t fall into the trap of “I’ve spent so much time with these people, I can’t afford to let them go now – maybe something will show up”. Just because they are motivated and are prequalified financially doesn’t mean that what the home they want to buy is readily available.
Leave a comment below. What’s your favorite solution when you can’t find what your home buyer wants?
It’s well written and timely approach to deal with buyers in present situation, specially in GTA, but in this competitive real estate market, no age can afford to leave the buyer clients either.
Do you have a suggestion/ strategy to get more listings and what’s your take on online lead generation.?
Brilliant! Excellent advise; not only does this help get the foot in the door, but I love the idea of offering to go door knocking in a area that they would like to live!
One more thing I’ve done to bring a reality check to the buyer client is to show a sold search criteria to them. Eliminate all repo, short sale, distressed sales. Put in their criteria and show them what they sold for in the last 3-6 months. It opens their eyes quickly to see the true state of the market. I’ll also expand that same search to the entire state to show them just how far they need to go from the city to find that brick home on an acre with shop at the low price they are asking for. It usually works.

So now I’m using this WordPress to update my music life. Part of being me, is being a radio broadcaster, a singer-songwriter and a music teacher.
I do have a music teaching studio call Zents Music Studio, but my life is really a studio of sorts. I’m learning everyday.
Although I’m looking forward to a bright musical future, I also want to discuss great singing technique, guitar and piano which I teach. But also there’s the lessons of living.
As a writer and songwriter there are stories everywhere you go, from the smiling old woman who curls her hair too tightly that you see at the grocery store, to the way you feel about the young guy who likes to use the electric wheelchair/shopping cart around the store even though he’s healthy.
There’s also the matter of psychology that comes along with being a performer. You can’t deny that people compare you as a singer-songwriter, the way you sing, the way you play, and the songs you write. Also, there’s no denying the CD’s which you record, and produce are always being judged.
Everything we read online is posted by someone we may or may not know.
We hope that everything we read is true, but underneath we know not everything will be.
We were just watching Irma La Douce and in the movie she lies her pants off.
I imagine most of us do not lie when we post our stories or opinions online. I know I don’t fabricate huge lies about what I do, what I own and where I go. I don’t know if it takes a big imagination to tell tales, or if it just takes an ulterior motive.
The National Enquirer has a reputation of telling tales. One would think in this sue-happy climate, yellow journalism would be a thing of the past. But even other papers besides The Enquirer have been guilty of twisting the truth, writing lies, and padding their stories with lack of proof, fabrications and outright plagiarism.
Yellow journalism is the only kind of journalism nowadays, or so it seems.
We can agree to be honest with each other on our blogs, and hold each other to a higher standard of truth and honesty, and perhaps personal blogs are the only source of true journalism. Who knows? If there is no mercenary aspect behind writing a blog, one can always write the truth and shame the devil!
The reason yellow journalism is so rampant is because it sells. Sensationalism is always in season with the masses. Yellow journalism is often one-sided, dumbed-down, slanted, opinionated, and often untrue.
There’s a lot of bad things happening in the world, and any time newspapers or news outlets exploit a story with loud, salacious headlines, one has to wonder how much of it is true. Let the reader beware!
So everyone finds out sooner or later that while many of us do not know our neighbours, the stars of Hollywood are very well-known to most people. They like to use their fame as a platform for their opinions.
Like many of us, wasting time online is a pleasure to them as well.
The devil of it all is the bad example they communicate to the young.
Once the Internet was hailed as a boon to educate people and build ties, bridge differences and create global harmony.
Anyone who looks at their Facebook stream, especially during an election year will find out soon enough where loyalties lie among celebrities and commoners alike.
There is a study that mentioned the most dramatic and dismal posts are those that receive the most feedback.
because I don’t want to get depressed.
The old saying, “Thanks for sharing,” does not apply when “friends” or “followers” care to share the ugly sides of their world.
Am I a Pollyanna girl?
If I want to. It’s my right. I am sensitive. I get upset easily.
I will ache for you. Yet, if I am fragile, you will have to excuse me if I step away to protect myself.
The world that bleeds on me doesn’t need me to answer back.
And I know that it won’t make one bit of difference if I won’t bite on the line.
Don’t play your games. The world needs less foolishness, and more strength, love and beauty!
Be free, but don’t be hurtful.
I have so much to do before I go. Time to pick up tax forms, run errands, and clean house. I have to push myself to face all my responsibilities.
The whole world is in the palm of my hand. I love the Internet, but it slows me down.
I either sleep too much or too little.
Right now I need to get my head on straight, but first a cup of coffee to motivate me.
Probably a bunch of chores could get done if I would just choose 1 to get started on. Firstly, I want to switch all the notifications off on my phone. If I sleep with my phone by my bed the pings, pops, and buzzes keep me waking up all night! I had better get going.
Lots to do, and it’s already the afternoon!
So are you afraid of the future?
Some prognosticators imagine that in about 75 years all drudge work will be automated. Already, a lot of jobs have been lost to computers, automation and oblivion. So if you hate your job, wherever you are on the totem pole, there’s a big chance your job will be taken over or eradicated, eventually. It will most likely be taken over by a robot. Robots have a lot of assets we humans do not. We are building smarter robots, and we are relying on them more and more.
However, the Internet has created a bridge that is conducive to human connection, communication and creativity. When you go online you are able to address a much bigger audience then at the local town hall. Are you on the edge of society? Is there a niche you are drawn to? Whether you love cribbage, history or physics, know there is a tribe just for you. It is possible that your online community will help you embrace the future and earn your keep. Seek and you shall find. Your community is out there.

When I started the Ms Mannequin paper doll series, my goal was to draw primary contemporary clothing. I had high plans of doing stylish designers and other things. Maybe dabbling a little into vintage Dior, but mostly being contemporary. The dolls were designed to be models, not curvy at all, so they could wear the contemporary styles.
And so this pirate set was born.
What can I say? I like pirates. I feel like there’s nothing “new” about this pirate set though, so I’m not sure it’s my best set. Still… sometimes you just have to draw pirates.
For what it’s worth, I support pirates completely.

A personal commitment to Christ, backed up with positive examples and living according to Biblical principles, should be the family’s goal.
What are some of the secrets of a healthy home?
“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, because this is right. Honor your father and mother - which is the first commandment with a promise - that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life in the land. And fathers, don't stir up anger in your children, but bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord” (Eph. 6:1-4).
Listen closely to the Apostle Paul’s instruction.
Instruction: gentle or friendly reproof; counsel or warning against fault or oversight.
You don’t have to be a great parent to have a great kid. You can be a good parent and have a great kid.
The marketplace teaches us that success or failure in any business or venture depends on effective management. Effective management is not doing things right; it is doing the right things.
The same is true for families. And Dads, the Scriptures inform us, that is your responsibility. “One who manages his own household competently, having his children under control with all dignity” (1 Tim. 3:4).
“Listen, Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One. Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. These words that I am giving you today are to be in your heart. Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them be a symbol on your forehead. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates” (Deut. 6:4-9).
Impress: Like a printing press imprinting the characters of letters on paper impress a love for God on your children.
This teaching of God and instructing in his love must be a fulltime job that uses every opportunity to communicate the love of God. In a real sense, we all are home schoolers.
“Set an example of good works yourself, with integrity and dignity in your teaching” (Titus 2:7).
“Pursue love and desire spiritual gifts, and above all that you may prophesy” (1 Cor. 14:1).
No home can be healthy without love. It is the force that holds everything together.
“Unless the LORD builds a house, its builders labor over it in vain” (Psa. 127:1). The secret to a healthy home is a personal commitment to Christ. This verse is not saying you do not build your home - you do. Rather, it is a warning against the idiocy of trying to build your home alone.
I encourage you to scrutinize your family values. Anything other Jesus in his rightful place in your home is too weak for permanent cohesion. A personal commitment to Christ, backed up with positive examples and living according to Biblical principles, should be the family’s goal.

5 Mins Mystery (v2.0) released !!!
I happened to tried the QuickXDev — a powerful quick-cocos2d-x develop plugin for sublime text recently and it is really an awesome solution for quick && light && free cocos2d-x lua game develop solution.
But being a cocos2d-html5 user it’s a pity that there is no such cool plugins for js solution.
So I took some time read the sublimne text plugin api document and the QuickXDev source and tried to make something similar for cocos2d-html5.
I’m trying to add bluetooth multiplayer features to my recent released game which uses cocos2d-html5 + JSBinding + cocos2d-x and could not find articles about this on the Internet so I decided to find a way out myself.
5 Mins Mystery (v1.0) released !!!
A inner command line layer for coocs2d project.
The content is all about what I’ve leant in the past week on cocos2d JS Binding.
A heated discussion from the forum today ?
An instructive new tutorial on a blog today ?
A time-saving code snippet someone shared today ?
A full-featured game went opensource on github today ?
So, I love to search these stuffs on the Internet and it always bring me joy when I spot something interesting.
But, the cocos2d family is growing in an astonished pace and it just cost me way too much time to do the search job everyday.
Fortunately I happen to learned cocos2d-tml5 recently and I also know some basics of python so I think it will be a good challenge to create a web application to solve the problem — and here comes the CocosNewsCenter.

Hello, all! I have a clean & simple Joy to the World card to share today. Created using Hero Arts stamps and a little bit of watercolor this is a very simple card.
I used a beautiful Joy To The World stamp set to create stylish graphic Christmas trees. I heat embossed both with Brass embossing powder onto watercolor paper and colored in green. Love how easy it is to color outline images with watercolors.
I used Brown ombre ink pad to stamp the Joy To The World sentiment and the stars behind the foam mounted trees. I also created a messy nest using gold metallic thread to add some additional interest to this project.
Very nice Yana. I love the stars added. A nice card to mass produce. Thanks.
This is spectacular, Yana! Such a pretty pair of trees! I love the sentiment stamped with the ombre ink!
Absolutely stunning! So clean and stylish!

Crooks devastated parents after breaking into a South Cheshire support group and stealing toys, games and crafts from children.
The break-in happened at the Rainbow Puzzles Crewe Autism/ADHD Group at St Barnabas Church Hall, Crewe.
The group supports youngsters with autism and ADHD and their families from Nantwich, Crewe and surrounding area.
Donna Maria, a group committee member from Nantwich, attends with her son.
She said: “We are all devastated. Nearly all of our tuck shop stock was taken, lots of art and craft stuff, some toys and all of our board games.
It’s believed the break-in happened at some point last weekend, July 14-15.
It was discovered when the head of the committee Cheryl Ellison arrived one afternoon to set up for that day’s meeting.
Most if the items were new as the group was only launched on July 2.
Cheryl said: “I was shocked and disgusted that someone could sink so low as to break in and steal from a church hall.
In short Rainbow Puzzles is a support group for those kissed by autism to help folks to understand it and realise it can be celebrated and every childs’ potential found not cursed or thought as something “curable” it is not a condition it is a different way of thinking, of being.

For those looking for alternatives to a four-year college, high-paying trade jobs are readily available.
“We’ve done a disservice telling people they need to get a degree. It’s trades we need,” said Rhonda Reda, Executive Director at OOGEEP, or Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program, a nonprofit group.
The organization travels around the state educating people on the many different careers available within the industry. Reda spoke at a “Coffee and Commerce” informational session hosted by the Cambridge Area Chamber of Commerce at the Southgate Hotel in Cambridge on Thursday.
According to the U.S. Department of Education, people with technical training are more likely to be employed in their field than those with academic degrees.

Why New Mom should Eat Fenugreek Regularly?
Fenugreek Seeds are one of the Galactogogues i.e. they help in increase in breast milk supply. In some countries where the fenugreek is not produced, women use the fenugreek supplements. But the most effective are fenugreek leaves and dry fenugreek seeds.
Fenugreek contains iron which produces red blood cells, while the fiber and potassium help in controlling blood pressure. It also contains alkaloids, Vitamin C and steroidal sapiens. Each 100 gram of seeds, provide 323 calories which are extremely beneficial to human body, especially for women. It has got properties which are useful for pregnant ladies and new lactating mothers as well.
Fenugreek seeds contain Dysgenic, which generates milk production in lactating mothers. Make regular use of Methi/Fenugreek Seeds/Fenugreek Leaves in your diet for an increase in milk production. It is probably the most important herb for new mothers. To make the bitter taste of Methi palatable, try Methi Paratha, Methi Thalipith, Theplas, Methi Khakra. Also always keep a stock of sprouted Methi seeds in Kitchen and make use of it in Kadhi, Dal, Khichadi, etc.
Read: How to Increase Breast Milk Supply?
The female body is prone to suffer from an iron deficiency. Fenugreek is recommended to battle this deficit as it is a rich source of iron. It should be taken with potatoes or tomatoes so that our body absorbs that iron. Fenugreek also contains Dysgenic- a property which reduces the menstrual cramps and discomfort during periods.
Fenugreek seeds are great for reducing labor pain if it is taken during pregnancy. Child birth also becomes easy as it stimulates uterine contractions. But it can also be harmful to the mother if taken in large quantities and will increase the risk of miscarriage or premature birth.
Fenugreek seeds contain Mucilage which coats the lining of intestine and stomach, strengthening the irritated gastrointestinal tissue. It is very effective for heartburn and acid reflux.
Fenugreek is a good source of Potassium and it helps combat the excess of sodium which controls blood pressure and heart diseases.
Fenugreek helps to relief from indigestion and removes the harmful toxins from our body. It also helps to cure constipation.
Fenugreek reduces the level of cholesterol in our body. Specifically, works magic on LDL [low density lipoprotein] which is responsible for transport of cholesterol in our body.
Fenugreek contains Galactomannan, which is a natural soluble fiber. It slows the rate of absorption of sugar in our blood. It also contains Amino Acid which produces insulin which is important for a diabetic person.
The soaked fenugreek seeds can be consumed in morning on an empty stomach. The soluble fiber in the seeds swells up and makes you feel fuller for a longer period of time and reduces your appetite.
Fenugreek is great for curing skin problems. It prevents the appearance of wrinkles, pimples, blackheads, etc. If used in face packs fenugreek seeds can help cure many skin problems. However, before applying the paste of fresh fenugreek leaves on the skin, try a small patch first to know whether it suits your skin or not.
Fenugreek seeds when taken with one tablespoon of honey and lemon reduce fever. The Mucilage in the seeds helps in relief from a sore throat and cough.
Boiled fenugreek when soaked in the coconut oil overnight and then massaged into the scalp, can help to reduce hair fall and thinning. It also works in keeping dandruff at bay. The paste of fenugreek leaves can be applied directly to your hair to make it shiny. Do try on a patch first to make sure it suits you.
The content of fiber in fenugreek sticks to the toxins in the food we eat and removes it from our body which prevents the mucous membrane of the colon to form cancer.
Fenugreek Seeds are very bitter in taste, you should sprout them. The reason to sprout the seeds is not only it’s tastier and less bitter but also because it is very healthier. Sprouting increases the nutrients of Fenugreek Seeds.
1. Take the dry seeds, then Soak the seeds in water overnight.
3. Your sprouts which are way less bitter in taste are ready to fry.
1) Fry onion in one tablespoon of oil. Then add garlic and Tomatoes. Fry it well.
2) Later, add Salt, turmeric, chili powder.
3) Lastly, add sprouted Methi seeds. Cook and serve with Chapati/bread.
The sprouted form of the herb reduces bitterness to a great extent and frying with onion tomatoes makes it tasty.
1) How long does it take for Fenugreek to Increase Milk Supply?
According to mothers who have used the fenugreek seeds during breastfeeding, they saw increase in milk production 1-3 days after starting the seeds. However, depending on your body, it may take up to two weeks as well to see a change. Please note, some mothers who tried this herb, do not observe any change in milk production. Thus, an increase is not guaranteed but possible.
2) Are there any side effects of intake of Fenugreek seeds for Breastfeeding?
Unfortunately, there are certain side effects to the ever resourceful fenugreek. Some moms have noticed that their baby became fussy and/or had green, watery stools when they took fenugreek and fed their offspring. The symptoms went away when they stopped fenugreek consumption. Fenugreek can cause Gastro-intestinal problems in moms like an upset stomach, diarrhea, etc. Thus, it is possible for it to cause the same issues for the baby too. Avoid consuming it if you are allergic to chickpea or peanuts if you suffer from diabetes, hypoglycemia or asthma.
3) How do I eat Fenugreek seeds to increase Milk Supply?
The best way to consume fenugreek seeds is to soak and use the sprouts. You can sauté the sprouts and use them in salads. Or you can lightly roast the seeds and ground them roughly. Then boil the powder in water to make a tea.
4) I have seen Fenugreek Tablets in the market. Should I use them?
The original herb, its leaves and seeds are much safer and nutritious than their supplements. Therefore, it is recommended to use the herb directly rather than rely on pills.
Step 2: Now place the leaves in a bowl and put some salt on them, mix it well and keep aside.
Step 3: Take a vessel and heat oil in it.
Step 4: Add finely chopped onions and let them become soft. Then add green chilies and garlic to it. Stir for about 2-3 minutes.
Step 5: Add peeled and cubed potato and let it cook. Stir occasionally.
Step 6: Drain all the water from the fenugreek leaves, add it to the potatoes and mix it well.
Step 7: Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, salt and mix it well. Cover the vessel and let it cook for about 4-5 minutes.
Step 8: Now open the lid of the vessel and add chopped tomatoes, mix it well and turn off the gas. Let it rest for about 5-10 minutes.
Step 9: Tasty and healthy Aloo Methi is ready.
In India, Fenugreek or Methi leaves and seeds are used widely in curries, dals, meats and many other dishes. It not only provides aroma and flavor, but also enriches and enhances the texture of dishes. The seeds of fenugreek can be used as a spice. The fresh or dried leaves can be used as an herb while the sprouts are among the pulses in our kitchen.
Fenugreek is a very healthy herb and even doctors advice people to have it regularly. It is crucial for each member of the family. It can be a boon for lactatingmothers. If you have garden in front of your house then you can even grow your own fenugreek there. It’s very easy as well as cheap to grow fenugreek in your own garden and enjoy its benefits whenever required to make your family’s health better.
I like methi sprouts fry in onion and tomatoes, it doesnt taste as bitter as it sounds. Try it!
Thanks for sharing the Tip Anajali. Its very useful.
great article. I am a mom of 3 months old. My mom makes this stir fry of soaked and sprouted fenugreek seeds for me. she always tells me it is very healthy for women to recover from baby birth as it strengthens the bones.
That is lots of benefits. I remember my mom forcing me to have them.
Thanks for your comment Indrani. Not only for new moms but it’s healthy for the whole family.

NIS America has released a new character introduction trailer for their upcoming title, The Silver Case.
The Silver Case will release for Playstation 4 on April 18 in North America.
You can read more on the characters below.
Originally from the industrial city of Mikumo, Sumio was assigned to the Heinous Crimes Unit after graduating from the Central Police Academy. Since then he has served effectively as the backbone of the 24 Wards Police Department. He has a partnership with Kusabi and always likes to get into the heart of an investigation. He has a serious attitude and is above petty disagreements within the department over status and promotion, focusing only on preventing crimes and solving mysteries. His history suggests that he gave up the chance to make a bigger name for himself out of choice, though his real motives remain unclear.
A veteran agent who is partnered with Sumio, Tetsugoro may give off the impression of a dull-witted man past his prime, but when it comes to investigating crime he is able to act upon instinct and lead the case to its resolution. As a regional agent he headed the Silver Case 20 years ago, which was concluded with his arrest of the hit-man known as “Original Kamui”, Uehara Kamui. His success was rewarded and he was reallocated to the Security Department, but in compliance with the wishes of his former boss Kotobuki, he was made an additional member of the Heinous Crimes Unit at its inauguration. there is also another side to him that is a regular father, scared of losing the affection of his daughter.
Chizuru has a background in crime investigation based on the collection of scientific evidence and data. Level-headed and beautiful, she is the only female member, but in truth no one can stand her. There are often conflicts between her and Kusabi, who prefers to rely on his instincts when solving a case. She possesses a strong desire to advance her career, but she also harbors doubts with regard to her position and role in the HC Unit. While she constantly and swiftly rejects the persistent advances of her partner Morikawa, deep down inside she is actually somewhat attracted to him.
A companion of Kusabi since the days they worked together as regional agents, Morikawa is a veteran who has served in the HC Unit since its inception. Calm and collected, he is an efficient and talented agent. His colleagues think him somewhat temperamental due to often being absent from the office, unable to locate his whereabouts. At such a time, however, he is to be found at the scene of the crime, conducting thorough investigating in search of valuable evidence. His efforts may go unnoticed, but acquiring information firsthand proves to be an effective approach when it comes to solving cases. He does not hesitate to offer whatever support he can for his team, but looks like he has seen some things that he would not want to talk about to anyone.
Nakategawa is a man who always has his hair slicked back, wears ironed shirts and gives off a well-groomed impression. He hates working as a group and often insists on working alone. However, since he used to work in the public sector he has connectons to be found in each and every area and can ensure communications with neighboring parties go smoothly. He focuses more on investigating from the police department than searching for clues at the scene out of his way to offer Sumio assistance. Or perhaps from another angle you could say he is assisting Kusabi through Sumio.

So I'm creating a world in which an advanced psionic system exists. On a distant planet there was an AI rebellion resulting in the death of 95% of the planet's population and the remaining survivors are constantly being driven mad by psionic waves broadcasted by the rebelled machines. The whole planet is perfectly covered by the range of the psionic emitters.
The impact of those waves is rather complex - they can cause horrible and extremely detailed visions, for example you see yourself being shot to death by mad bandits or something like that. What is more, the AI can somehow scan your mind and prepare a detailed vision just for you. So, for example, let's assume you've caused a car accident in which someone has died. The psionic waves would then make you experience this traumatic event once more making you feel like this vision is the true reality rather than a flashback from the past. It could possibly involve some other aspects which would intensify the effect, like confronting the victim's family even if this has never happened during the real course of action.
Now, the psionic grenades. Press a button, wait a few seconds, boom, the psionic field is established and you can now communicate with those who fell within its effective range. They come in two variants - the scouting one and the combative one. The scouting model makes you capable of reading the target's mind by asking questions and making the target unable to not tell the truth, with all communication occurring in the attacker's and target's heads - no speaking and so on. Scouting version does not drive the target mad, it only retrieves information. The combative one, however, just drives you insane in a way described in a previous paragraph.
Last but not least, there are two versions of psionic attacks - direct and indirect. Direct comes from being, well, directly attacked by a psionic warrior/falling within the range of a psi grenade/stuff like that. Direct attacks generate the most devastating results. However, the indirect ones are caused by the prolonged exposure to the waves broadcasted across the planet and increase your madness only a little, so, let's say, you're a bit easier to annoy today than yesterday. What is important, unless treated with the calming psionic waves (didn't mention them before, but they're rather not that important to me) the damage will be permanent and is going to stack, effectively driving the planet's population completely insane after X years. The indirect attacks can also cause the effects of the direct ones from time to time, especially if being close enough to the nearest psionic emitter.
And so after thinking it out I ended up with a system which, I can say, works thanks to some kind of "magic", but I simply don't want to, so my main question is: what possible rational, and at least a bit scientific, explanations justifying the described system working could be used?
So this excludes telekinesis, pyrokinesis etc. Only pure mind-related activities, without interacting with matter.
I have a ton of ideas for this, but to hit a broad overview, you'd want to read up on the real 'psychotronic' and otherwise fringe experimentation that took place, largely during the cold war.
We're talking MKULTRA-esque tools for unorthodox information gathering and psychological warfare.
One example is infrasound. Ultra-low auditory tones that can produce a wide range of affect...usually things like agitation, insomnia...the list goes on.
This can be combined with brain entrainment. Essentially, when specific auditory tones are produced, the brain has a tendency to generate brain-waves of the same frequency. Entrainment can be used to induce wakefulness, sleep, dreaming, etc, by sound.
"The project is known as MEDUSA – a contrived acronym for Mob Excess Deterrent Using Silent Audio. And it should not be confused with the Long Range Acoustic Device and similar gadgets which simply project sound. This one uses the so-called "microwave auditory effect": a beam of microwaves is turned into sound by the interaction with your head. Nobody else can hear it unless they are in the beam as well."
Microwaves and other forms of electromagnetic radiation can also produce hallucinations or other changes to psychological states under certain conditions.
And lastly, for the "mind reading" portion there is the idea that masers and other sophisticated electromagnetic arrays can take non-invasive EEGs to measure brain activity. Combine that with some kind of translator or processor, and you have brain-machine interfacing at a distance.
So, to recap, "broadcasters" would probably be dedicated information warfare suites that can output infrasound and heavy doses of microwave radiation specifically constructed to induce mental distress in humans.
It's highly likely that multiple intelligence services already have this capacity, on the DL.
"Readers" would be much more difficult, but could be prefigured as an array distributed across a target location (imagine a series of spy-cameras that beam rather than record), or a gun-like weapon dedicated to reading brain activity for surveillance purposes.
Tailoring the hallucinations is difficult because it depends on reading and correlating the activity, then modifying the output. It's unlikely that even SAI would easily read an EEG to the point that it could truly understand memories or create true-to-life scenarios. What's more reasonable is just bathing a target in anxiety producing inputs, measuring which parts of the brain light up, and then modifying your output further to maximize recall or activity in those regions.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a form of neurostimulation. TMS is a non-invasive procedure in which a changing magnetic field is used to cause electric current to flow in a small targeted region of the brain via electromagnetic induction.
The brain works via electricity. Magnetic fields can induce electrical currents. Current TMS is pretty crude but near future scifi applications involved induced learning and things of that sort - just as one can induce movement of an arm by applying an electric current to the nerve controlling the arm muscle, any function of the brain could in theory be reproduced by selectively producing currents in the neurons within the brain.
Your world has a global system set up whereby magnetic fields can be detected and influenced - perhaps the original function was some public utility like wireless power or GPS, but the AIs hijacked it for their psionic attacks. The grenades are a portable version with preprogrammed magnetic fields; they act as mini broadcasters until their power supply is exhausted.
Your human population will necessarily contain a large percentage of resistant psionic mutants. I am sure the AIs tried to kill 100% of the human population. A small percentage might evade being killed by luck, which will eventually run out. The rest will be constitutively resistant - they have a selective advantage against psionic attack and did not die. Maybe one is schizophrenic. Maybe one had treatment for a brain tumor and is different afterwards. Maybe one has multiple personalities, some of which are still not insane and who have come to dominate after others go down. Maybe one is not human at all but was masquerading as a human for its own reasons, and then got caught up in the apocalypse. For whatever reason, these survivors are difficult to kill with psionic attacks and it will probably not be the same reason for each of them - which gives energy to your story.

Sometimes I'm super lazy when it comes to "restocking" inventory and then other times I'm all over it. I was lucky enough to find four new pieces on Craigslist last week. And even luckier that they were only at two homes.
I've been working like crazy to get them finished.
And this last one was this close to being finished when it took a very, very wrong turn. Back to the drawing board…and to the hardware store for stripper.
You hit the jackpot with four great pieces. Can't wait to see what you do with them. I know they will be beautiful!
Haven't found what I'm looking for yet, but I'm watching for an antique style piece for my little guy's room. Looking forward to seeing what you do to these, I'm sure it'll be fabulous!
That first dresser is amazing! I have been looking for weeks for my stuff and nothing!
I love your new pieces and I am looking forward to seeing how they turn out. The second piece is almost identical to a piece I have been holding on to and hoping to refinish myself, right down to the missing hardware.
LOVE them!! Especially the middle two!
Love number 2 & 3!
love love the third one!!!
Hi, its good post on the topic of media print, we all understand media is a great source of facts.
What's up i am kavin, its my first occasion to commenting anyplace, when i read this paragraph i thought i could also make comment due to this good post.
Hey! Do you knoω іf they make any pluginѕ to ѕafeguard аgainѕt hackегs?
I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard οn.
I can't tell you how many times this happens to me. I start out in one direction and then totally come up with something else and have to start over. But I am always glad that I did because the end product makes me happy.

Taibbi: People are steadily growing disenchanted with red state versus blue state—this really aggressive storyline where if you’re conservative you have to hate liberals, and if you’re liberal then you have to hate conservatives. For the first time on the campaign trail that I’ve seen, people are saying, “I haven’t spoken to my liberal brother in years but we’re actually talking now because we’re both disappointed in our respective parties, and we’re both getting behind Ron Paul.” There’s more on-the-ground energy for Ron Paul than there is for the rest of the candidates combined.
I think Paul is simply tapping into these different constituencies that have had much more in common with each other all along than any of them realised. Distracted by party affiliation and the absurd tribalism that it encourages, at least a few people from right and left are recognising the bankruptcy of the old alliances and the compromises they have had to make as part of their respective coalitions.
If the left could loose their racial identity politics I could feel a lot more comfortable joining with them on various issues.
Here is just one example why – the Democrats are not capable of spending as much as the neocon-led republican party, despite their best efforts to do so.
While I don’t share his libertarian leanings, I deeply admire the service and candidacy of Ron Paul. He recognizes the dangers of consolidation of power (whether in the warfare or the welfare state) and understands that one key defense against usurpation and tyranny is to clearly define the powers of government and stick to those powers. When needs arise that necessitate changes in powers and policy, then clearly and openly revise the defined powers of government. This is a lesson in freedom both parties could really use. Ron Paul is also a nice guy, and he engages people knowing that they are people, due respect and hospitality. I like him a lot.
We had a very decent sized rally here today in Philadelphia. Certainly there were a fare number of leftists in attendance. I think it’s becoming increasingly apparent to people–liberals even–that corporatism, war and expansion are part and parcel of a massive centralized state, and that halting the former means disabling the latter.

UPDATE: Ricky Martin's Golden Beach Home SOLD for $6,300,000 according to the multiple listing service (september 9, 2011). That's almost a 30% discount from its $8.8 million ticket price. Who said you can't get deals on Miami Luxury Real Estate? CONGRATULATIONS to the new lucky home owner as well as Ricky Martin for a great sale.
Deidre Woollard from Luxist gives us the scoop on Ricky Martin's home in Golden Beach.
Martin bought the home in April 2007 for $16.5 million and by December of that year it was on the market for $22.5 million. The home didn't sell and eventually appears to have come off the market. Earlier this year I learned that the home was back up for sale with a new lower price.
The main draw of this two-story Mediterranean home is its location in a private oceanfront community. The five-bedroom home has a a beautiful pool and spa that is just a short walk away from a secluded beach. The home's interior is Florida Spanish luxe with a double-height living room that has marble floors, monumental fireplaces and large French doors that open to the outside. The new gourmet kitchen has a brick barrel vaulted ceiling and tile. The master suite has walk-in closets, terrace and open views. It is now listed at $18.9 million, which still makes it the highest listed Golden Beach house currently.
2 Story Mediterranean estate in one of Florida's most exclusive private oceanfront communities, 24 hour security patrol in community and beach!!! Making it a desirable location for celebrities and int'l homeowners. Your own private 108 FT beach modern comfort throughout. New gourmet kitchen with morning room, Top of the line finishes. Formal dining plus open living area. Master suite with his and her bath, walk-in closets, terrace and stunning open views.
Deidre is absolutely right about Ricky's home being the most expensive in Golden Beach - but you have to admit that buying Ricky Martin's home should carry a nice extra price tag with it. The next highest priced Golden Beach home is just $400,000 under at $18.5 million - and that's for a modern 14,000 square foot ocean front built in 2007.
Great description of Ricky Martin's home. Good Job.
