But it seems appropriate to ask whether all the different cloud architectures are being taken into consideration, or only the most common and widespread ones, and above all whether the same doubts are being raised regarding the technological solutions currently in use. Control, ownership and governance of data Consider, for example, the control that can be exercised over infrastructure and data protection, and their effective location and governance: It is important to check that the cloud provider you have chosen can assist your company in complying with the stringent directives imposed by the GDPR, the new EU regulations on the protection of personal data, including those aspects of data-processing or back-up that the provider performs autonomously for its own infrastructure.

All in all, it is easier to replicate an entire server infrastructure, already installed and configured on a different cloud, than to migrate to a different software environment or platform, which will most likely require dozens or hundreds of customized integrations. Infrastructure security On the subject of security and reliability, there are very few company data centres that can boast the level of protection against every type of risk afforded by those of a reliable enterprise class cloud provider.

Network redundancy, control of physical access, energy autonomy in the event of a black-out, not to mention seismically and hydro-geologically secure locations, provide protection against problems which in some countries, unfortunately, affect the IT infrastructures of sometimes illustrious companies each and every year. The most significant growth will be in the Infrastructure as a Service and Platform as a Service sectors. Organizations are coming through the experimentation phase and embracing the technology en masse.

Traditional market assumptions regarding the cloud and the ways it is used will expand enormously. Though starting later than the more widely knowncloud providers, we have been able to take advantage of more recent technological developments to plan a cloud infrastructure specifically designed for enterprise-class companies, working from the ground up and without constraint. The second-generation bare metal architecture gives you the same level of control over the servers as you can achieve in your own data centre, thus ensuring an equal level of data confidentiality, greater security the vulnerabilities of the host operating system are eliminated , and better performance, because every machine can be directly accessed from the network and there are no connection bottlenecks in the hypervisor.

Two of them are in Europe: The latter will be inaugurated in October and will allow for the management of data and applications which for regulatory reasons must be based within the EU. Every region in which the service is available comprises three data centres, roughly 40 kilometres apart, interconnected by high-speed and very low-latency networks, guaranteeing the levels of service, redundancy of data, applications and connections, and speed of response, required by the most innovative digital services.

Wir haben unsererseits einen klar definierten Prozess definiert, um die Infrastrukturen unserer Kunden, ob Cloud-basiert oder nicht, zu bewerten und mit den Vorschriften in Einklang zu bringen. Allerdings kann es in einer Umgebung, in der die Hardware mit den virtuellen Servern unbekannter Benutzer geteilt wird, durchaus zu "lauten Nachbarsituationen" kommen: Organisationen durchlaufen die Experimentierphase und nehmen die Technologie massenhaft in Anspruch.

About RSPO In response to the urgent and pressing global call for sustainably-produced palm oil, the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil RSPO was formed in with the objective of promoting the growth and use of sustainable oil palm products through credible global standards and engagement of stakeholders.

The seat of the association is in Zurich, Switzerland, while the secretariat is currently based in Kuala Lumpur with satellite offices in Jakarta, London and Zoetermeer NL. RSPO is a non-profit association that unites stakeholders from seven sectors of the palm oil industry - oil palm producers, palm oil processors or traders, consumer goods manufacturers, retailers, banks and investors, environmental or nature conservation NGOs and social or developmental NGOs - to develop and implement global standards for sustainable palm oil.

Such multi-stakeholder representation is mirrored in the governance structure of RSPO such that seats in the Executive Board and project-level Working Groups are fairly allocated to each sector. In this way, RSPO lives out the philosophy of the "roundtable" by giving equal rights to each stakeholder group to bring group-specific agendas to the roundtable, facilitating traditionally adversarial stakeholders and business competitors to work together towards a common objective and make decisions by consensus.

Cinema, Film, TV, Drama Source text - English Left alone with a governess one snowy afternoon Alice's sister does not appear in this version , Alice is supremely bored. She idly starts to wonder what life is like on the other side of the drawing room mirror, when she suddenly feels a surge of confidence and climbs upon the mantelpiece to look.

  7. Alice looks out the window and suddenly sees a White Rabbit. She follows it to a rabbit hole and falls in. Seeing nobody else there, she comes upon a table with a key to a locked door, and a bottle that bears the sign "Drink Me". In a situation exactly reversed from the book, she grows to enormous size after drinking the bottle's contents. Unable to pass into the room beyond the locked door, she begins to cry. A cake with a sign saying "Eat Me" appears. She eats the cake, shrinks to a tiny size, and is immediately swept along into a flood caused by her own tears.

    Many more of her adventures follow, combining sections of Through the Looking Glass with the original Alice. At the end, Alice is awakened from her dream, not by the "pack of playing cards", but by a riotous celebration that goes completely haywire after she is crowned Queen.

Dopo che ti sei messo a tuo agio cominci a rilassarti e inizi ad osservare tutto quello che ti sta intorno. I riflessi dei palazzi sul canale scompaiono al nostro avvicinarsi e altrettanti si avvicinano al tuo sguardo. Ormai siamo abituati ai mezzi pubblici con il solo autista o paradossalmente senza. E quando il marinaio incontra con lo sguardo il passo incerto di un anziano in vaporetto compie il suo gesto di cortesia. Lo prende per un braccio e lo aiuta lentamente a salire o scendere con doverosa lentezza e cortesia.

Il Ridolfi narra come il Tintoretto propose con insistenza il proprio stile ricevendone il consenso solo garantendo di imitare il Veronese.

I have hardly anything in common with myself and should stand very quietly in a corner, content that I can breathe". Hawes suggests that Kafka, though very aware of his own Jewishness , did not incorporate it into his work, which, according to Hawes, lacks Jewish characters, scenes or themes. He stands for the 'guiltless guilt' that imbues the Jew in the modern world, although there is no evidence that he himself is a Jew".

    In his essay Sadness in Palestine?! The truth lies in some very elusive place between these two simplistic poles". Livia Rothkirchen calls Kafka the "symbolic figure of his era". According to Rothkirchen, "This situation lent their writings a broad cosmopolitan outlook and a quality of exaltation bordering on transcendental metaphysical contemplation.

    An illustrious example is Franz Kafka". Towards the end of his life Kafka sent a postcard to his friend Hugo Bergman in Tel Aviv, announcing his intention to emigrate to Palestine. Bergman refused to host Kafka because he had young children and was afraid that Kafka would infect them with tuberculosis. Kafka's laryngeal tuberculosis worsened and in March he returned from Berlin to Prague, [65] where members of his family, principally his sister Ottla, took care of him. He went to Dr.

    Hoffmann's sanatorium in Kierling just outside Vienna for treatment on 10 April, [77] and died there on 3 June The cause of death seemed to be starvation: He rose to fame rapidly after his death, [90] particularly after World War II. The Kafka tombstone was designed by architect Leopold Ehrmann. What little was published during his lifetime attracted scant public attention. Kafka finished none of his full-length novels and burned around 90 percent of his work, [] [] much of it during the period he lived in Berlin with Diamant, who helped him burn the drafts.

    Kafka's earliest published works were eight stories which appeared in in the first issue of the literary journal Hyperion under the title Betrachtung Contemplation. He wrote the story " Beschreibung eines Kampfes " "Description of a Struggle" [c] in ; he showed it to Brod in who advised him to continue writing and convinced him to submit it to Hyperion. Kafka published a fragment in [] and two sections in the spring of , all in Munich.

    In a creative outburst on the night of 22 September , Kafka wrote the story "Das Urteil" "The Judgment", literally: It deals with the troubled relationship of a son and his dominant father, facing a new situation after the son's engagement. The story begins with a travelling salesman waking to find himself transformed into a ungeheures Ungeziefer , a monstrous vermin , Ungeziefer being a general term for unwanted and unclean animals. Critics regard the work as one of the seminal works of fiction of the 20th century. He began his first novel in ; [] its first chapter is the story " Der Heizer " "The Stoker".

    During , Kafka began the novel Der Process The Trial , [] the story of a man arrested and prosecuted by a remote, inaccessible authority, with the nature of his crime revealed neither to him nor to the reader. Kafka did not complete the novel, although he finished the final chapter. According to his diary, Kafka was already planning his novel Das Schloss The Castle , by 11 June ; however, he did not begin writing it until 27 January Kafka's intent was that the castle's authorities notify K.

    Rastalsky noted in his thesis: Kafka's stories were initially published in literary periodicals. His first eight were printed in in the first issue of the bi-monthly Hyperion. Eine Geschichte von Franz Kafka. A Story by Franz Kafka. On a summer trip to Weimar , Brod initiated a meeting between Kafka and Kurt Wolff; [] Wolff published Betrachtung in the Rowohlt Verlag at the end of with the year given as Kafka left his work, both published and unpublished, to his friend and literary executor Max Brod with explicit instructions that it should be destroyed on Kafka's death; Kafka wrote: Everything I leave behind me He took many papers, which remain unpublished, with him in suitcases to Palestine when he fled there in These were confiscated by the Gestapo in , but scholars continue to search for them.

    As Brod published the bulk of the writings in his possession, [] Kafka's work began to attract wider attention and critical acclaim. Brod found it difficult to arrange Kafka's notebooks in chronological order. One problem was that Kafka often began writing in different parts of the book; sometimes in the middle, sometimes working backwards from the end. For example, Kafka left Der Process with unnumbered and incomplete chapters and Das Schloss with incomplete sentences and ambiguous content; [] Brod rearranged chapters, copy edited the text, and changed the punctuation. Der Process appeared in in Verlag Die Schmiede.

    Kurt Wolff published two other novels, Das Schloss in and Amerika in The book appeared in the Gustav Kiepenheuer Verlag. Brod's sets are usually called the "Definitive Editions". Fischer Verlag republished them. Jost Schillemeit was the editor of Der Verschollene Amerika published in These are called the "Critical Editions" or the "Fischer Editions". When Brod died in , he left Kafka's unpublished papers, which are believed to number in the thousands, to his secretary Esther Hoffe.

    A court battle began in between the sisters and the National Library of Israel , which claimed these works became the property of the nation of Israel when Brod emigrated to British Palestine in Auden called Kafka "the Dante of the twentieth century"; [] the novelist Vladimir Nabokov placed him among the greatest writers of the 20th century. Kafka also touches on the theme of human conflict with bureaucracy.

    William Burroughs claims that such work is centred on the concepts of struggle, pain, solitude, and the need for relationships.

    They argue Kafka's work is more deliberate and subversive—and more joyful—than may first appear. They point out that reading the Kafka work while focusing on the futility of his characters' struggles reveals Kafka's play of humour; he is not necessarily commenting on his own problems, but rather pointing out how people tend to invent problems. In his work, Kafka often created malevolent, absurd worlds.

    The writer Milan Kundera suggests that Kafka's surrealist humour may have been an inversion of Dostoyevsky's presentation of characters who are punished for a crime. In Kafka's work a character is punished although a crime has not been committed. Kundera believes that Kafka's inspirations for his characteristic situations came both from growing up in a patriarchal family and living in a totalitarian state.

    Attempts have been made to identify the influence of Kafka's legal background and the role of law in his fiction. These are hidden from the individual but control the lives of the people, who are innocent victims of systems beyond their control. Enclosed in my own four walls, I found myself as an immigrant imprisoned in a foreign country; I saw my family as strange aliens whose foreign customs, rites, and very language defied comprehension; I could not resist.

    However, James Hawes argues many of Kafka's descriptions of the legal proceedings in Der Process —metaphysical, absurd, bewildering and nightmarish as they might appear—are based on accurate and informed descriptions of German and Austrian criminal proceedings of the time, which were inquisitorial rather than adversarial. Knopf in the United States.

    Later editions, notably those of Dearest Father. Stories and Other Writings , included text, translated by Eithne Wilkins and Ernst Kaiser , [] which had been deleted by earlier publishers. These translations are generally accepted to have a number of biases and are considered to be dated in interpretation. Glatzer selected writings, [] drawn from notebooks, diaries, letters, short fictional works and the novel Der Process.

    Kafka often made extensive use of a characteristic particular to the German language which permits long sentences that sometimes can span an entire page. Kafka's sentences then deliver an unexpected impact just before the full stop—this being the finalizing meaning and focus. This is due to the construction of subordinate clauses in German which require that the verb be positioned at the end of the sentence.

    Such constructions are difficult to duplicate in English, so it is up to the translator to provide the reader with the same or at least equivalent effect found in the original text. As Gregor Samsa one morning from restless dreams awoke, found he himself in his bed into an enormous vermin transformed. Another difficult problem facing translators is how to deal with the author's intentional use of ambiguous idioms and words that have several meanings which results in phrasing that is difficult to translate precisely.

    English translators often render the word Ungeziefer as "insect"; in Middle German, however, Ungeziefer literally means "an animal unclean for sacrifice"; [] in today's German it means vermin. Kafka had no intention of labeling Gregor, the protagonist of the story, as any specific thing, but instead wanted to convey Gregor's disgust at his transformation. Literally, Verkehr means intercourse and, as in English, can have either a sexual or non-sexual meaning; in addition, it is used to mean transport or traffic.

    The sentence can be translated as: Unlike many famous writers, Kafka is rarely quoted by others. Instead, he is noted more for his visions and perspective. Coetzee and Jean-Paul Sartre.

    Salinger loved to read Kafka's works. Kafka wrote in an aloof manner full of legal and scientific terms. Yet his serious universe also had insightful humour, all highlighting the "irrationality at the roots of a supposedly rational world". Much of the post-Kafka fiction, especially science fiction, follow the themes and precepts of Kafka's universe.

    This can be seen in the works of authors such as George Orwell and Ray Bradbury. The following are examples of works across a range of literary, musical, and dramatic genres which demonstrate the extent of cultural influence:. Examples include instances in which bureaucracies overpower people, often in a surreal, nightmarish milieu which evokes feelings of senselessness, disorientation, and helplessness. Characters in a Kafkaesque setting often lack a clear course of action to escape a labyrinthine situation.

    Kafkaesque elements often appear in existential works, but the term has transcended the literary realm to apply to real-life occurrences and situations that are incomprehensibly complex, bizarre, or illogical. Numerous films and television works have been described as Kafkaesque, and the style is particularly prominent in dystopian science fiction. Works in this genre that have been thus described include Patrick Bokanowski 's film The Angel , Terry Gilliam's film Brazil , and the science fiction film noir , Dark City.

    Films from other genres which have been similarly described include The Tenant and Barton Fink However, with common usage, the term has become so ubiquitous that Kafka scholars note it's often misused. A major component of the museum is an exhibit The City of K. Franz Kafka a Praha City K. Kafka and Prague and aims to immerse the visitor into the world in which Kafka lived and about which he wrote.
