I recently conducted an informal survey of some cloud integration companies and found something deeply troubling. Aside from cookie-cutter or formulaic quick-start projects, more than 70 percent of cloud consulting engagements involving new customers resulted in either a 10 percent cost overrun or a change-order. The bigger the project, the more likely the overrun. You can blame it on stupid consultants or bad estimation or nutty customers or sunspot activity, but blame does no good. Something is going wrong here, and its causing a lot of heartburn for customers and vendors alike. In an earlier article on trends making the cloud consulting market treacherous, I mentioned that a root cause of any cloud overrun is mis-set expectations: customers believing that meeting their requirements will be simpler than it is and that it should cost less than it will. However significant that observation may be, its not particularly actionable. So lets take the next step to understand the driving specifics, and what steps we can take. [ How to compare cloud costs between Amazon, Microsoft and Google ] In most cloud projects, several areas are nicely contained and are unlikely to cause significant cost surprises. If setting up a function is … Continue reading →

Updated February 07, 2017 10:02:49 What makes a song a hit, and why do some songs stay with us years later? Musician turned academic Andrew West has written hundreds of songs, and he designed the world's first Masters degree in songwriting. He explains the secrets behind three classic hits. Pretty Woman shows terrific attention to detail. First of all, there's the tempo. They would have figured that out in the studio: not too slow, not too fast. And the final version of the song moves at a certain pace that feels exactly right. The song also uses a dynamic build, the way that the musicians are playing. That memorable riff gets louder and louder until it seems absolutely necessary for Orbison's voice to come in. It's also important to note the way Orbison uses harmonies on his voice, but only for certain sections of the song. A lot of critical thought has gone into the way the song is arranged. Sometimes having the chords match the musical expression, or the expression of the words, can work against the songwriter because it becomes too obvious. Changing that gives the listener subtext, a backstory, so that you're thinking that maybe the person … Continue reading →

Editors note: This article was originally published August 20, 2014 Heres what happens when an acclaimed artist known for his virtuosic drafstmanship sets himself the task of drawing every day for two years. He produces an astonishing 1,242 individual drawings of wild animals and landscapes, of human anatomy and mathematical formulas, and of classical art and family photographs. James Drakes The Anatomy of Drawing and Space (Brain Trash) is a sprawling installation of 1,242 drawings each 19 24 arranged into ten chapters and pinned directly to the gallery walls. The Anatomy of Drawing and Space (Brain Trash) will be on view at the Blanton Museum of Art opening Oct. 19 and continuing through Jan. 4, 2015. Drakes stream-of-consciousness drawings range from prosaic observations of landscapes and animals to dream-like meditations on weighty themes such as order and chaos, life and death.

Working across media in sculpture, video, installation, photography and drawing Drakes art has been featured in the Venice Biennale and the Whitney Biennial, among other prestigious exhibitions.

"Broken arm" redirects here. For fractures in general, see Bone fracture. In human anatomy, the arm is the upper limb of the body, comprising regions between the glenohumeral joint (shoulder joint) and the elbow joint. In common usage the arm extends to the hand. It can be divided into the upper arm (brachium) which extends from the shoulder to the elbow, the forearm (antebrachium) which extends from the elbow to the hand, and the hand (manus). Anatomically the shoulder girdle with bones and corresponding muscles is by definition a part of the arm. The Latin term brachium may refer to both the arm as a whole or to the upper arm on its own.[1][2][3] The humerus is one of the three long bones of the arm. It joins with the scapula at the shoulder joint and with the other long bones of the arm, the ulna and radius at the elbow joint. The elbow is the hinge joint between the end of the humerus and the ends of the radius and ulna. The humerus cannot be broken easily. Its strength allows it to handle loading up to 300 pounds (140kg).[citation needed] The arm is divided by a fascial layer (known … Continue reading →

Introduction to Human Skeletal System: Skeletal system is the system of bones, associated cartilages and joints of human body. Together these structures form the human skeleton. Skeleton can be defined as the hard framework of human body around which the entire body is built. Almost all the hard parts of human body are components of human skeletal system. Joints are very important because they make the hard and rigid skeleton allow different types of movements at different locations. If the skeleton were without joints, no movement would have taken place and the significance of human body; no more than a stone. Human Skeleton Human skeleton is composed of three main components; Bones, Associated cartilages and Joints. Bones: Bone is a tough and rigid form of connective tissue. It is the weight bearing organ of human body and it is responsible for almost all strength of human skeleton. For more details visit: Basic anatomy article; Bone. Cartilages: Cartilage is also a form of connective tissue but is not as tough and rigid as bone. The main difference in the cartilage and bone is the mineralization factor. Bones are highly mineralized with calcium salts while cartilages are not. For more details visit: … Continue reading →
