    Military map of Che Kiang [i.e. Zhejiang] Province, China during the Taiping Rebellion (1850-1864) and featuring the harbour city of Ning-po [i.e. Ningbo]. The map includes the following notes: "Advance of Hwang with 20,000 men September 1862 [to] Tsie Kie (stormed Septr. 1862)"; "Advance of Fang with 18,000 men September 1862 [to] Fung-wha (evacuated Octbr. 1862)". From December 1861 to May 1862 Taiping generals controlled the city of Ning-po until it was captured by British and French forces.

    A Cloud Environment for Data-intensive Storage Services

    No full text
    Abstract — The emergence of cloud environments has made feasible the delivery of Internet-scale services by addressing a number of challenges such as live migration, fault tolerance and quality of service. However, current approaches do not tackle key issues related to cloud storage, which are of increasing importance given the enormous amount of data being produced in today's rich digital environment (e.g. by smart phones, social networks, sensors, user generated content). In this paper we present the architecture of a scalable and flexible cloud environment addressing the challenge of providing data-intensive storage cloud services through raising the abstraction level of storage, enabling data mobility across providers, allowing computational and content-centric access to storage and deploying new data-oriented mechanisms for QoS and security guarantees. We also demonstrate the adde
