**NOTE: EBOOK DOES NOT INCLUDE ILLUSTRATIONS**A fascinating art history and cultural biography; The Street of Wonderful Possibilities focuses on one of the most influential artistic quarters in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries ndash; Londonrsquo;s Tite Street; where a staggering amount of talent thrived; including James Abbott McNeill Whistler; Oscar Wilde and John Singer Sargent. For Wilde; the street was full of lsquo;wonderful possibilitiesrsquo;; while for Whistler it was lsquo;the birthplace of artrsquo;; where a new brand of aestheticism was nurtured in his controversial White House. Modern masterpieces in art and literature flowed from the studios and houses of Tite Street; but this bohemian enclave had a dark side as well. Here Whistler was bankrupted; Frank Miles was sent to an asylum; Wilde was imprisoned; and Peter Warlock was gassed to death.Throughout its turbulent existence; Tite Street mirrored the world around it. From the Aesthetic movement and its challenge to Victorian values; through the Edwardian struggle for womenrsquo;s suffrage; to the bombs of the Blitz in the 1940s; it remained home to innumerable artists and writers; socialites and suffragettes; musicians and madmen. The Street of Wonderful Possibilities reveals this complex history; tying together private and professional lives to form a colourful tapestry of art and intrigue; illuminating their relationships to each other; to Tite Street and to a rapidly modernising London at the fin de siegrave;cle.

Handbook for a New-Bie Cloud SA!By f. e. narThis is a very nice & decent study outcome from experiences of Authors!If you are newbie Cloud Solution Architect started to work with Openstack Services as technology; this book will provide you good level of guidance to design; implement and test a Proof Of Concept Project.However if you truly go in Production Level of Solution Design this book may not be that helpful as it does not cover;(a) Network Blue Print Design; decisions for flat; overlay; vlan networks with traffic calculations (CSO requirements) that will point certain NIC types (ex SR-IOV; DPDK support); Integration to Physical Network Fabric (ML2 Plugin; SDNc integrations). These are covered in 2 pages in this book with brief overview.(b) Storage Backend Design/Requirements for your Cloud Workloads; what sort of IOPs your vApp/VNFs will need to come in to service based on KPI requirements. Not covered at all in this book.(c) Openstack Upgrades; what are the best practices and how to do it? Specially if you have in-service sites and suffering from missing features that are already available in new Openstack releases. Instead patching has a section in the name of security hardening thats all.(d) Using Containers for Openstack Services and as well as light weight workload hypervisor selection. Only mentioned as future/emerging trends.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful.
