vi PREFACE
seeking to gain access to knowledge about cloud computing and the com-
mon issues associated with it, as well as to cloud computing experts inter-
ested in discovering fresh perspectives on one of the most commonly cited
barriers to adoption.
To achieve this, we invited contributors from a range of disciplines and
theoretical perspectives to highlight opportunities for insight, integration
and further research as the field matures. Our book brings together per-
spectives from psychology, law, information systems, ethics and computer
science to provide a reference point for current knowledge on trust and
privacy in cloud computing and to open debate on how the field can be
progressed in a way that is useful to practice. The book is organised into
seven chapters:
Chapter 1 introduces cloud computing, defines trust, and explores our
current understanding of the range of antecedents that drive trust deci-
sions with a discussion on how these might apply in the cloud context.
This chapter also discusses some of the approaches proposed to overcome
trust barriers to cloud computing, and outlines a framework for exploring
assurance and accountability in the cloud.
Chapter 2 draws on the literature on trust and control to examine the
contractual issues associated with cloud computing. The chapter discusses
the theoretical relationships between trust, contracts and contract law, and
outlines common terms and conditions in cloud computing contracts
along with the issues these present. The chapter discusses how both the
nature of cloud computing and contracts are evolving, and how trust can
be a useful lens for developing individual vigilance and industry regulation.
Chapter 3 continues with a legal perspective considering how cloud
computing can be regulated across jurisdictions with a specific focus on
differences between EU and US approaches to data privacy law. The chap-
ter explores the challenges associated with regulating borderless cloud
computing and a review of recent cases in the area of data storage and
location.
Chapter 4 delves further into the issue of information privacy. The
chapter outlines the range of privacy related issues that can accompany
cloud computing and considers how theoretical developments and empiri-
cal literature from the field of Information Systems can offer insight in the
cloud context. The chapter reviews current organisational approaches for
enhancing privacy perceptions in the cloud, and concludes by highlighting
some research gaps that may serve as avenues for future research.

This Hand Garden Plow was Made of Old Material, a Shovel being Used for
the Making of the Moldboard
Cut a strip, ¹⁄₄ by 1¹⁄₄ by 18 in., for the vertical support, shown in
Fig. 5. Drill four ¹⁄₄-in. adjusting holes, 1 in. apart, at the upper end,
and three ¹⁄₄-in. holes at the lower end for fastening the strip to the
moldboard, as shown in Fig. 3. Drill a ⁵⁄₁₆-in. hole at the 7¹⁄₂-in. mark,
for bolting the strip to the braces, the other ends of which are fitted
on the ³⁄₈ by 10-in. bolt used as an axle. Cut the two braces 14 in.
long, of ¹⁄₄ by 1¹⁄₄-in. strips, and drill a ³⁄₈-in. hole in the forward end
of each, to fit the axle, and a ⁵⁄₁₆-in. hole in the opposite ends, 1 in.
from the ends in each case. Cut a strip, ¹⁄₈ by ³⁄₄ by 12 in., for the
landside, as shown in Fig. 2, bent under the moldboard, and bolted
to it. The proper angle can best be bent after the moldboard is made
and fitted.
The method of marking the shape of the moldboard on the blade
of an old shovel is shown in Fig. 4. Make a pattern of cardboard,
marking it into 1-in. squares. Draw the shape of the moldboard by
tracing the outline through the corresponding squares, using the
diagram as a guide. Mark the position of the bolt holes, for fastening
it to the vertical support, indicated by the dash lines at the right. Cut
out the pattern and trace around it on the shovel, using the thickest
part for the point of the share. Cut out the outline, smooth the edges,
and point up the cutting edge. Drill holes for fastening the moldboard
to the vertical strap with ¹⁄₄-in. bolts, and for the fastenings to the
landside, with ³⁄₁₆-in. bolts.
Curve the moldboard into shape and fit it to the various supports
so that it sits properly, as shown in Fig. 1, seen from the furrow side,
in Fig. 2, from the rear, and in Fig. 3, from the land side. Bend the
12-in. strip into shape, as shown in Fig. 3, and bolt it into place, to
form the landside. Assemble the parts, being careful that the wheel
and landside are set in line, as shown in Fig. 2, and that the rear
edge of the latter is raised slightly, as in Fig. 3. The plow should be
given a coat of paint, and the cutting parts made smooth, and oiled.
An Interesting Water Telescope
A water telescope is easy to make and will afford much pleasure in
exploring plant or animal life in comparatively shallow water. The
device is made by fitting a heavy glass disk into the end of a round
metal tube, about 2 in. in diameter. The glass is fitted between two
rings of metal, preferably with a small flange set against the glass. A
waterproof cement is used to fix the glass between the rings. To use
the “telescope,” rest it on the side of a boat or other convenient place
at the water, and set the lower end, containing the glass, under the
water. Remarkably clear views may be had in this way.—S. Leonard
Bastin, Bournemouth, England.
Writing on a Moving Train
Writing legibly on a fast-moving train is difficult to a person
unaccustomed to it. The railroad conductor knows the trick of it and
manages to get along quite satisfactorily. He prefers to write in a
standing position and holds his right elbow firmly against his side.
The reason for this is that in a sitting posture there is too much
lateral movement in the trunk of the body, while in a standing
position this is more easily controlled. When the arm swings freely,
as in ordinary writing, several joints of the body are affected in the
process, each of which is capable of its own motion. Holding the
elbow against one’s ribs “breaks” these motion tendencies, except
that of the wrist, which movement is necessary in writing, and thus
the pencil, or pen, is more easily controlled.
The same principles modified apply in using a typewriter on a
moving train. Many traveling men, news correspondents, and others,
carry portable typewriters and do much of their writing while traveling
on trains, not to mention the various railroad and government men
who travel in office cars and necessarily must get out their
correspondence en route. It is extremely difficult to execute neat
typewriting on a moving train with free-arm movement, even though
the central portion of the car where the vibration and swing is less
severe, is selected. As I am employed in such capacity, I had to
evolve some plan to expedite the work. I am able to do typewriting
quite rapidly by resting the palm of the hands, near the wrists,
against the front edge of the typewriter frame surrounding the
keyboard, and using the swing of the fingers instead of that of the
whole arm, as in ordinary typewriting.—Victor Labadie. Dallas, Tex.
A Revolving Window Display
A jeweler attracted passers-by and not a few customers by placing
a revolving display in his window which was kept in motion by means
of the arrangement shown in the sketch. A 10-in. cut-glass bowl was
placed, upside down, near the front of the show window. An inverted
tumbler was set upon it and a small tin box was pivoted on the
tumbler by means of a needle soldered inside of it. Six arms of wire
were soldered to the box, and watches were suspended from them.
The carefully balanced frame revolved easily on the point of the
needle. It was kept in motion by the draft from a fan hidden behind a
mirror.—H. S. Hart, Shreveport, La.
A Horse-Drawn Sod Cutter
The cutting of a considerable area of sod is tedious work when
done by hand, and it is difficult to make the sections of uniform
thickness and size. These important features are provided for by the
use of the homemade sod cutter shown in the sketch. To start a cut
across a meadow or lot, a notch is cut in the turf for the blade, and
the device is set into place, stamping it down to give a good start.
The operator stands on the plank in front of the blade, and a little
practice will soon determine the best position for ease in operation.
When a cut has been completed, the cutter is dragged to a fresh
starting place, the driver turning it over on the upper side. The strips
are cut into suitable lengths and piled conveniently for removal with a
stone boat or wagon.
With This Device Sod may be Cut Quickly and of Uniform Width and
Thickness
The device may be made of any suitable width; 15 in. between the
inner edges of the blade, and the latter set to cut a depth of about
2¹⁄₂ in., being desirable. The board is a 2-in. plank, about 4 ft. long.
The blade should be set with the cutting edge slanting slightly
downward so as to make the device “bite” into the ground. A smaller
cutter may be made for use by boys, several of whom may draw it.—
F. H. Sweet, Waynesboro, Va.
A Match-Box Trick
The Metal Trays Are Substantial and may be Removed Readily for Use
Elsewhere
The box is made with the end pieces lapping over the top and the
bottom this being a better construction to carry the weight of the
trays. The wood used in the sides is ⁷⁄₈ in. thick, in order that a saw
cut may be made to a depth of ¹⁄₄ in. without weakening the support.
Thinner wood may be used if instead of saw cuts small strips of
wood are nailed against the side on which the trays may slide.—

Waterproofing Matches
Dipping ordinary parlor matches into melted paraffin and
permitting them to dry thoroughly will enable them to withstand
water. The paraffin acts like a wax candle and is unaffected by the
moisture. This should be of aid to campers and others who find it
hard to keep matches dry.—Contributed by T. W. Lambert, Jr., New
York, N. Y.
