Google Actual Cloud Storage

                           Google Cloud Storage is a RESTful online file storage web service for storing and accessing data on Google Cloud Platform infrastructure. The service combines the performance and scalability of Google's cloud with advanced security and sharing capabilities. It is an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), comparable to Amazon S3 online storage service. Contrary to Google Drive and according to different service specifications, Google Cloud Storage appears to be more suitable for enterprises.

                           Google Storage (GS) stores objects (originally limited to 100 GiB, currently up to 5 TiB) that are organized into buckets (as S3 does) identified within each bucket by a unique, user-assigned key. All requests are authorized using an access control list associated with each bucket and object. Bucket names and keys are chosen so that objects are addressable using HTTP URLs:

https://storage.googleapis.com/bucket/object

http://bucket.storage.googleapis.com/object

https://storage.cloud.google.com/bucket/object

                             Google Storage offers four storage classes, identical in throughput, latency and durability. The four classes, Multi-Regional Storage, Regional Storage, Nearline Storage, and Coldline Storage, differ in their pricing, minimum storage durations, and availability.[2]

Interoperability - Google Storage is interoperable with other cloud storage tools and libraries that work with services such as Amazon S3 and Eucalyptus Systems.[dubious – discuss]

Consistency - Upload operations to Google Storage are atomic, providing strong read-after-write consistency for all upload operations.

Access Control - Google Storage uses access control lists (ACLs) to manage object and bucket access. An ACL consists of one or more entries, each granting a specific permission to a scope. Permissions define what someone can do with an object or bucket (for example, READ or WRITE). Scopes define who the permission applies to. For example, a specific user or a group of users (such as Google account email addresses, Google Apps domain, public access, etc.)

Resumable Uploads - Google Storage provides a resumable data transfer feature that allows users to resume upload operations after a communication failure has interrupted the flow of data.

Haircare Tips To Keep Greasy, Dull Hair Under Control

One of the worst side effects of a sunny summer day is the damage it can do to you. We've spoken about how it affects your skin and health but did you know, it can upset your hair as well. When the temperature rises too high, the climate can leave your hair greasy, weighed down and dull. Fortunately for you, instead of stepping into the shower for the nth time, here's how to take control of your hair. Follow these 4 haircare tips to drive away greasiness, grime and dullness.

1. Dry It

When an oily scalp is leave untreated, it can spread down the strand and leave the hair greasy and dull. A quick way to stop it in its tracks is with dry shampoo. A few spritzes of dry shampoo applied on your scalp will soak up oils so that it doesn't ruin your hairstyle. Try Batiste's Dry Shampoos which are specially crafted for brunettes so you won't need to worry about any white residue showing up.

2. Rinse It

The next time you step into the shower, take a few minutes out at the end for a hair rinse. Make it by combining quarter cup of fresh lemon juice with three fourth cup of cold water. Once you are done washing, tilt your head back and pour the lemon rinse over your hair, from root till tip. Be careful not to get any in your eyes. Leave for three - four minutes and wash off with cold water. Unlike other rinses made only for the lengths, this one also cleanses the scalp of residue while leaving the tresses shiny.

3. Mask It

A hair mask with the right ingredients can also keep the greasy, lackluster look at bay. To make it, combine one whipped egg yolk with three drops of witch hazel oil and three drops of tea tree oil. Apply the mask over your roots and lengths and let it sit for 30 minutes. The sulfur in egg helps control greasiness while both the oils are anti-bacterial agents. Together, they'll also lend a sheen to your hair.

4. Treat It

Even small changes to your hair care routine can make all the difference to the appearance of your hair. For one, find a balance when washing your hair. Excessive washing can seem like a good idea but it only strips hair of natural sebum, encouraging it to produce even more of it. Skip leave-in products like conditioners and serums as that can contribute to your hair feeling heavy and greasy.
