Cloud Computing vs. Research and Education.

What is Cloud Computing?

"Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid. Cloud computing is a natural evolution of the widespread adoption of virtualization, Service-oriented architecture and utility computing."

- 1960, John McCarthy "computation may someday be organized as a public utility".
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing
- http://gcn.com/articles/2008/09/17/cloud-computing-more-work-for-admins.aspx

Definition of Cloud Computing: www.globalknowledge.com/ (Steve Baca)

2008: HP, Intel and Yahoo! Create Global Cloud Computing Research Test Bed
HP, Intel Corporation and Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO) today announced the creation of a global, multi-data center, open source test bed for the advancement of cloud computing research and education. The goal of the initiative is to promote open collaboration among industry, academia and governments by removing the financial and logistical barriers to research in data-intensive, Internet-scale computing.
- http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2008/080729xa.html

A Pragmatic, Incremental Approach to Cloud Computing: http://www.rpath.com/corp/cloud-adoption-model

"Cloud computing holds real promise for enterprises, SMBs, as well as the ISVs and individual developers serving them. To help organizations realize the promise and avoid the perils of cloud computing, rPath’s Cloud Computing Adoption Model provides a pragmatic, actionable, step-by-step framework for achieving measurable benefits now, while laying the foundation for the strategic benefits of a cloud infrastructure over time".

Cloud Computing Technology: www.ravirajtech.com/cloud-computing
"Cloud computing is Internet-based ("cloud") development and use of computer technology ("computing"). The cloud is a metaphor for the Internet (based on how it is depicted in computer network diagrams) and is an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it conceals. It is a style of computing in which IT-related capabilities are provided “as a service” allowing users to access technology-enabled services from the Internet ("in the cloud") without knowledge of, expertise with, or control over the technology infrastructure that supports them. According to a 2008 paper published by IEEE Internet Computing "Cloud Computing is a paradigm in which information is permanently stored in servers on the Internet and cached temporarily on clients that include desktops, entertainment centers, table computers, notebooks, wall computers, handhelds, sensors, monitors, etc."
Cloud computing is a general concept that incorporates software as a service (SaaS), Web 2.0 and other recent, well-known technology trends, in which the common theme is reliance on the Internet for satisfying the computing needs of the users. For example, Google Apps provides common business applications online that are accessed from a web browser, while the software and data are stored on the servers"

Black Hole - The 30-year-old object

Nov. 15, 2010 - RELEASE : 10-299
NASA'S Chandra Finds Youngest Nearby Black Hole

"The 30-year-old object is a remnant of SN 1979C, a supernova in the galaxy M100 approximately 50 million light years from Earth. Data from Chandra, NASA's Swift satellite, the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton and the German ROSAT observatory revealed a bright source of X-rays that has remained steady during observation from 1995 to 2007. This suggests the object is a black hole being fed either by material falling into it from the supernova or a binary companion."

- Colinde STEFAN HRUSCA - "Deschide nana usile"
- "O, ce veste minunata" live 2009 Bucuresti --- Fuego - O CE VESTE MINUNATA!

Merg pe drumul meu cântând, sunt şi umbră, sunt şi gând, sunt şi pasăre şi zbor, urc la stele şi cobor şi-s la voia tuturor... Trec la vale, trec la deal, sunt şi prag şi ideal, sunt si cântec şi fior pentru fiecare dor şi-s la voia tuturor. Sunt şi lacrimă şi stea, viaţa n-are cum să-mi stea, nici fărâmă de cuvânt, cum să mi se piardă-n vânt, vama celui care sunt

Merg pe drumul meu cel drept şi iubirea mi-o aştept cu un braţ de liliac, să-i fac dorului pe plac şi nicicum nu pot să tac Ard ca focul fără gaz să-i fac morţii în necaz, iar din cerul incolor, cad ca ploaia fără nor şi-s la voia tuturor... De nimic nu mă feresc, din lumină scad şi cresc precum apa de izvor când se-adună în ulcior şi-s la voia tuturor ...

Update: COLINDE. Concert 9 decembrie ora 20,00, Sala Palatului

O ce veste minunată! (Fuego - O CE VESTE MINUNATA!)

O ce veste minunată
Lângă Betleem s-arată
Cerul stralucea
Îngerii veneau
Pe-o rază curată.

Păstorilor din câmpie
Le vesteşte-o bucurie
Ca-ntr-un mic lăcaş
Lan’g acel oras
S-a născut Mesia.

În coliba păstorească
Vrut-a Domnul să se nască
Fiul său cel sfânt
Nouă pe pământ
Să ne mântuiască

Ultimul spectacol pentru Adrian Păunescu

Un ocean de oameni ... românii au dat un ultim spectacol pentru Adrian Păunescu: Uniunea scriitorilor, Ateneul Român, Biserica Boteanu, Cimitirul Bellu. FLACĂRA lui Păunescu.




PORUMBELUL ... veghează"Adrian Păunescu a fost o Flacără. Ultimele sale gânduri au fost îndreptate către ţară, pentru că Adrian Păunescu suferea nu de cord, ci de o altă maladie, fără leac".(www.jurnalul.ro)





... am fost în acel ocean ...
[media ... detalii ... ADIO ...]

O dorinţă a lui A.P.:
să-i scrie pe cruce
"EL A IUBIT VALORILE".

"Păunescu odihneşte lângă Mihai Eminescu". (www.monitorulbt.ro)

"Eu sunt bolnav de Dumneavoastră, Ţară,
Eu sunt bolnav de Dumneavoastră, Neam"
ADRIAN PĂUNESCU (1943-2010)

Adrian Păunescu a plecat lângă Eminescu

Vineri, 5 noiembrie 2010 ora 7,15. Adrian Păunescu (1943-2010).

"Înmormântat lângă Eminescu, Marin Preda şi Nichita Stănescu" (La 6,5 metri de Eminescu, http://www.adevarul.ro/)

"DRAGII MEI, MĂ DUC ŞI EU"

... DE CE AI PLECAT MAESTRE? Ai trait mai mult pentru oameni, pentru cultură şi pentru ROMÂNIA.

OMUL CARE A ÎNVĂŢAT ROMÂNIA SĂ CÂNTE ... Scrisoare tatei (Ana-Maria Păunescu, www.jurnalul.ro)

"Generaţia în blugi te salută, maestre!" (http://www.jurnalul.ro)

... în perioada 1980-1985 am înregistrat pe bandă magnetică (casete audio) fenomenul "CENACLUL FLACĂRA" (înfiinţat în septembrie 1973 şi închis în 1985, la Ploieşti; s-au desfăşurat peste 1600 de spectacole; s-a realizat şi filmul "Te salut, generaţie în blugi" regizor Cornel Diaconu), poate un analog al "Internetului de azi" pentru tineri ... un mod de a face cultură şi educaţie ... acesta a fost creat şi întreţinut de Adrian Păunescu ... să-i dăm poetului ce-i al lui: CENACLUL FLACĂRA ... un focar de cultură ... transmitea tinerilor trăiri intense ... poezii, melodii, trăiri şi iubire ... DOVADĂ ...

"Adrian Păunescu a fost atins de Flacăra geniului ... " Cristian Tudor Popescu, RTV, 5 nov. 2010.

„A rămas poetul Adrian Păunescu, omul, aşa e sortit, să se ducă. Pentru mine este un moment mai mult decât greu şi nu-mi găsesc cuvintele. Noi ne-am cunoscut demult. Împreuă am pornit Cenaclul Flacăra. Am avut cu el nopţi de poezie, drumuri lungi împreună. A plecat dintre noi cel mai mare poet contemporan”. Tudor Gheorghe

"Lumea uită ce a însemnat Cenaclul Flacăra atunci, pentru tinerii de atunci. Tinerii de azi nu înţeleg ce a însemnat această mişcare. Din păcate, lumea l-a uitat pe poetul Adrian Păunescu. Dar el rămâne aici, în inima şi gândul nostru. A fost simbolul unei generaţii care nu avea unde să meargă în altă parte" http://www.jurnalul.ro

Adrian Păunescu - Repetabila povară


Rugă pentru părinţi (Adrian Păunescu) | Ştefan Hruşcă - Rugă pentru părinţi (muzica: http://www.trilulilu.ro)

Enigmatici şi cuminţi,
Terminându-şi rostul lor,
Lângă noi se sting şi mor,
Dragii noştri, dragi părinţi.

Chiamă-i Doamne înapoi
Că şi-aşa au dus-o prost,
Şi fă-i tineri cum au fost,
Fă-i mai tineri decât noi.

Pentru cei ce ne-au făcut
Dă un ordin, dă ceva
Să-i mai poţi întârzia
Să o ia de la început.

Au plătit cu viaţa lor
Ale fiilor erori,
Doamne fă-i nemuritori
Pe părinţii care mor.

Ia priviţi-i cum se duc,
Ia priviţi-i cum se sting,
Lumânări în cuib de cuc,
Parcă tac, şi parcă ning.

Plini de boli şi suferind
Ne întoarcem în pământ,
Cât mai suntem, cât mai sunt,
Mângâiaţi-i pe părinţi.

E pământul tot mai greu,
Despărţirea-i tot mai grea,
Sărut-mâna, tatăl meu,
Sărut-mâna, mama mea.

Dar de ce priviţi asa,
Fata mea şi fiul meu,
Eu sunt cel ce va urma
Dragii mei mă duc şi eu.

Sărut-mâna, tatăl meu,
Sărut-mâna, mama mea.
Rămas bun, băiatul meu,
Rămas bun, fetiţa mea,

Tatăl meu, băiatul meu,
Mama mea, fetiţa mea.
