Veteran Shows the Path to Recovery
Many Veterans struggle to readjust to civilian life when they leave the military, and those struggles can all too often include battling with substance abuse and alcohol addiction. For those Veterans, the road to recovery can be a lonely and hard road that takes years.
Jerry Weaver was one of those Veterans. He struggled with substance abuse for more than two decades while trying to find his place in a post-service life. His final wake-up call was four felony charges for possession of a controlled substance and retail theft in the summer of 2017 that had the potential of completely derailing his life.
"I walked the walk out there on the dark side for about 27 years," he said. "It took sitting in Dorchester County, after I was picked up on some warrants, and me finally writing down the ways that my addiction was affecting me. I sat down and realized that I can't live like this anymore. That 90 days in Dorchester County changed my life."
It was there in the Dorchester County Jail that Weaver was introduced to Meredith Miller, the Veteran Justice Outreach Coordinator for Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center. Miller works with Veterans who have been arrested on various charges to get them enrolled in VA care and assists them with getting into the treatment programs VA offers after they're released.
"The best thing I ever did was working with Meredith Miller to get into the Drug Court in Charleston," Weaver explained. "She saved my life."
The Charleston County Adult Drug Court provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional prosecution and incarceration of nonviolent offenders with substance abuse problems. Weaver was able to reach a plea agreement for his drug charges and enter into a one-year agreement to attend rehabilitation meetings at Charleston VAMC and undergo frequent drug tests to ensure he is on the right path.
"I knew I could do a year sober, but on day 366 I knew I would be back out there," he said. "I started writing more and more and it became an outlet. I started to understand. Embracing my recovery was the most amazing thing ever. It gave me a new lease on life."
Over the next year, Weaver turned his journal writings into a book, and turned a couple of months of sobriety in jail into a year's sobriety and the successful completion of the Drug Court program.
During that same time, Miller was part of the charge to create a Veterans Treatment Court in Charleston County, which was approved by the South Carolina Supreme Court earlier this year. Unlike the Charleston County Adult Drug Court program that Weaver completed, it is designed specifically to serve adults with prior military service, including National Guard, Coast Guard and reservists who have been charged with one or more criminal offenses in Charleston County, South Carolina, and who are struggling with addiction, mental illness and/or trauma-related disorders such as PTSD.
Some specific benefits of the Veterans Treatment Court over the Drug Court are the adaptation to military training terms and styles to make it more relatable for Veterans, including the close relationship the court has with the Charleston VA, and the addition of Veteran mentors who have successfully completed a similar treatment program.
Today, Weaver says he has finally found meaning in his life. He was recently selected as the first mentor in the Veterans Treatment Court, where his role will be providing Veterans struggling to get clean with advice from his experience.
"We all battle our demons, and it's just about whether you give up or not," he explained. "I've learned that it doesn't matter what's coming at you, even if it's a mountain of things to get past, you don't have to climb that in one day. You just have to start chipping your way to the top."

Sotto calls latest Pulse Asia survey showing Sara Duterte's lead a 'good guide'
MANILA, Philippines — Senate President Vicente Sotto said that the latest Pulse Asia survey for the 2022 presidential and vice presidential race is a good guide for that particular week.
In a short statement sent by Sotto to INQUIRER.net on Wednesday, he said that the survey by Pulse Asia — done from December 1 to 6, 2021, is a snapshot of that week.
"Good guide. It's a snapshot of that particular week," Sotto said in a text message.
Sotto, who is running for the vice presidency with Senator Panfilo Lacson as his running mate, was overtaken by fellow vice presidential aspirant and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio.
The Senate President got 30 percent of the respondents' vote, if elections were held on that day. Dutete-Carpio on the other hand got 45 percent.
For the presidential race, former senator Bongbong Marcos leads the presidential race with 53 percent of the respondents picking him. He was followed by Vice President Leni Robredo who got 20 percent of the respondents' votes, and then Manila Mayor Isko Moreno and Senator Manny Pacquiao who are at a statistical tie with both getting eight percent.

Rewriting the Story of Humankind
What attributes set our species apart? Taming fire? Expressing artistically? Solving problems creatively? Recent discoveries that have already upended humankind's origin story by expanding our family tree, are now challenging long-held assumptions about what makes us special. Paleoanthropologist Lee Berger is a leading figure in these breathtaking developments and he joins Brian Greene to discuss how new discoveries are now rewriting human history.

"Help Me" from The Fly (1958)
Once heard, the final scream of 'help meee' at the end of the original 1958 film, The Fly, will never be forgotten. This partly stylized version of the part fly/part human figure was sculpted by Michael Berglund and released as a 3-D print by Escape Hatch Hobbies. The face is a spot on capture of actor David Hedison in his final scream. The fly wings are clear acrylic and stained with washes to mimic a dark tone fly wing. An extra hand to help position the legs and web as one would have been useful but with only two hands all was carefully put in place. In the film the fly is described as a "bluebottle" fly so the color scheme chosen reflected the coloration of that species. All paints are acrylics.

One of our most frequently asked questions is how to correctly use Pure C with the rest of your COSMEDIX skincare. We typically recommend a 3:1 ratio, with a "dash" of Pure C for every 2-3 pumps of your favorite serum. To take an even deeper dive, we tapped Sonia Barrow-Conerly, COSMEDIX East Coast Regional Educator, to share some of her favorite Pure C cocktails!
Brighten up your day by putting a "dash" of Pure C in your life. Pure C is 100% L-Ascorbic acid in a powder form, and can be added to any COSMEDIX serum or moisturizer of your choice – it is just what you need to supercharge any of your serums or moisturizers. Pure C is an antioxidant, so it helps in the pro-aging fight because of its ability to target fine lines and wrinkles!
I love the added benefit of pairing it with Simply Brilliant because it gives the skin a special at-home treatment with the added benefits from Pure C that plumps and firms the skin. It plays a key role in the appearance of a more even skin tone and leaves the skin looking radiant.
I also like pairing Pure C with Cell ID, which is one of our favorite peptide pro-aging serums. Cell ID assists in filling in fine lines and wrinkles by increasing natural ceramides, and a "dash" of Pure C brightens up the skin, adds a boost of antioxidants, and is healing.
Affirm is another serum that pairs extremely well with Pure C, as Affirm is an antioxidant serum and a multi-vitamin for the skin. It is ideal for skin maintenance because it helps to condition the skin and is hydrating. A "dash" of Pure C gives Affirm an edge over other antioxidant serums.

Discharge measurements made in Bayou Heron and Bayou Middle, Grand Bay, Mississippi in January 2017
Grand Bay, a 30-square-kilometer embayment of the Gulf of Mexico bordered by 20 square kilometers of salt marsh, is experiencing rapid lateral shoreline erosion at up to 5 meters per year. Determining whether the eroded sediment is exported to the deep ocean or imported via tidal channels and deposited on the marsh platform is critical to understanding the long-term response of the marsh to wave attack and sea-level rise. Quantifying water-column sediment flux helps to characterize the role of tidal channels in this process, and water discharge is a key component of sediment flux. To that end, discharge was measured repeatedly over consecutive diurnal tidal cycles in the tidal channels of Bayou Heron and Bayou Middle, within Grand Bay National Wildlife Refuge, Mississippi on January 24-28, 2017. These data were collected by using a Teledyne RDI Rio Grande 1200-kilohertz acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). Downward-looking ADCP transect data were collected from a moving boat and initially reviewed by using WinRiver II, and reprocessing and final review was completed by using QRev.

At a recent international conference on myth and politics, the first speaker raised a perennial question: "Should we de-mythologize politics?"11xShai Lavi, introductory remarks, "The Force of Myth: Authority, Illusion, and Critique in Modern Imaginaries" an online conference of the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, June 2021, https://www.vanleer.org.il/en/events/force-of-myth-authority-illusion-and-critique-in-modern-imaginaries/. The answer for many, particularly those who affirm democratic values, has traditionally been "yes." Myth is deadly to democracy. It undermines the connection between reason and politics crucial to this form of political order, replacing it with appeals to affect and imagination that carry us inevitably toward irrationalism. The history of the twentieth century, with its experience of the racial myths of fascism and the "enemy of the people" myths of totalitarian communism, shows that this is a danger not to be taken lightly. An affirmative answer to the speaker's question seems not only reasonable but prudent.
But perhaps the strategy of pure prophylaxis is not adequate. Can we really expect to divorce politics from affect and imagination? If not, then maybe we need to reflect more on what a "democratic mythic" might involve. I use this unusual phrase, rather than "democratic myth," because the word myth tends to imply a kind of fixedness. Myths in the classical sense are typically seen as bounded narratives with larger-than-life characters (for example, the myth of Romulus and Remus). Other myths don't involve such characters, but they share an apparent resistance to change, rooted in some prejudice to which people seem uncritically attached (for example, the myth of the welfare mother who drives a Cadillac to pick up her check).22xTae-Yeoun Keum, Plato and the Mythic Tradition in Political Thought (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2020), 5–10. But scholars of myth have increasingly called attention to the fact that at least some myths, over time, are "a process rather than an object."33xChiara Bottici, A Philosophy of Political Myth (Cambridge, England: Cambridge University Press, 2007), 8. These myths are quite pliable, in the sense that their transmission involves mutation and continual reappropriation, as successive generations go through the process of trying to draw significance from them for their present circumstances. In effect, such myths are less like frozen entities than things always in motion. I want to argue that this is particularly the case when we reflect on democracy, which calls all citizens to the ongoing task of interpretation. In my use of mythic rather than myth, I intend to focus attention on this dynamic, interpretive quality.
Mythic and Mimesis
A useful way to elucidate the characteristics of a democratic mythic is offered by the recent controversy in Richmond, Virginia, over monuments to the Confederacy. The removal of Confederate statues from cities in the South is hardly news these days. But the case of Richmond is distinctive. As the capital of the Confederacy, it has always had special symbolic significance. At issue was not just an individual statue honoring a Confederate leader but an entire thoroughfare—Monument Avenue—dedicated to what was perhaps the most powerful visual idealization of the Lost Cause: the myth, promoted with particular vociferousness in the decades after Reconstruction, that the Civil War was less about the preservation of chattel slavery than an honorable defense of states' rights. On the widest and most beautiful boulevard in the city, in a stretch of ten unusually long blocks, there stood until only recently five massive, well-spaced statues of various Confederate grandees, military and political. Erected in the Jim Crow era, the statues were literally monumental, almost godlike, the one of Robert E. Lee towering fully sixty feet above the street. Collectively, the statues had a palpable, unmistakable significance: the truth and rectitude of the Southern cause made solid and unalterable in time. The scene portrayed in this outdoor drama was a denial of—even a direct rebuke to—the egalitarian principles that were at stake in the war. As such, it formed part of an antidemocratic mythic that persisted well beyond the abolition of slavery, and not only in the South.
Beginning in 2020, after persistent protests, the statues on the Monument Avenue median were progressively removed as part of an ongoing effort to challenge and debunk the Lost Cause myth and expose its antidemocratic intent. Without questioning the importance of those removals, I want to call attention to a different, more creative way of countering the deleterious legacy those statues represented, a way that operates in the counter-register of a democratic mythic.
Among the five statues, one of the more arresting was that of the cavalry general J.E.B. Stuart. Portrayed in plumed hat and astride a warhorse with one foreleg raised, Stuart is turning slightly backward in the saddle, as if ordering his subordinates into battle. The cause of the Confederacy is presented here as a purely heroic military struggle, requiring fortitude and a sense of the providential righteousness of its cause.
At the end of 2019, a new statue appeared not far from Monument Avenue. The artist, Kehinde Wiley, whose efforts were funded in part by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, had produced Rumors of War, a work that creates its effect through its clearly intended contrast with the Stuart statue. Wiley's bronze is similarly imposing. Like Stuart, the audacious rider is astride a great steed, its stance resembling that of Stuart's mount. But Wiley's subject is a modern young African American with dreadlocks, jeans, and tennis shoes. This figure simultaneously brings a frozen mythic to life and transforms the "fantastic" subject into a contemporary, ordinary black man who, had he lived in J.E.B. Stuart's time, would have been one of those trapped in subordination and invisibility beneath the settled, official myth of the Confederacy. Here, though, an ordinary person from the ranks of those who, not that long ago, were officially invisible morphs into a figure of aristocratic, military bearing even while retaining the markings of his democratic origins.
Wiley's statue directly represents and recalls African Americans' historic struggles against enslavement and subsequent second-class citizenship. Its heroically presented subject has no name; he is essentially an anonymous common man. Implied in his backward-turning figuration is an appeal to others to identify with him and join in his struggle. He turns not to command soldiers, like Stuart, but to invite others to join a democratic community including but extending beyond his fellow African Americans.
The title of the statue, Rumors of War, suggests that our political situation is fraught with uncertainty and that one should engage with it with caution, care, and even humility. Is there a "war" in America, or something else? Who stands where? What should we do? In such implied questions, we encounter the challenge of participation in a democratic community: the shared obligation of its members to interpret what is at issue and decide what is to be done. There are no subordinates here, ordered by the commanding gaze of authority; there are only other citizens beckoned by a common man to take up their role in the drama of democratic participation. Depicting an ordinary hero as he takes up this role, the statue conveys openness and uncertainty, rather than authority and certitude. This combining of muscularity and audacity with a sense of vulnerability and precariousness is not a defect of democracy but a crucial feature of it, confronting all citizens with the challenges of interpretation, judgment, and action.44xKriston Capps, "Kehinde Wiley's Anti-Confederate Memorial," The New Yorker, December 24, 2019, https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/kehinde-wileys-anti-confederate-memorial.
Wiley's work is a powerful aesthetic embodiment of the democratic mythic. It renders palpable the abstract meanings of citizenship in a democratic society by rendering the common person heroic. More specifically, it confronts this generalized figure, who is at once both someone and everyone, with a triple responsibility: to act forcefully to resist oppression, to shoulder the shared burdens of interpretation and judgment within a democratic community, and to acknowledge that this burden requires an enduring sense of the fallibility of those judgments.
But Wiley's statue is also rather atypical—and thus a bit likely to misdirect us—in that it so fully captures the sense of a democratic mythic. Typically, whether they are aesthetic representations, historical events, or important documents, exemplary scenes embody this mythic only partially. We sense the incompleteness because we have an inchoate, underlying grasp of what is at the core of democracy, a constellation of general intuitions, conceptual and affective. It is in relation to this latent sense that particular exemplary scenes strike us as more-or-less adequate in their signification.
Indeed, the dynamism of the democratic mythic is precisely that interplay between the specific scenes that strike us as exemplary and our underlying sense of the moral core of democracy. We give continued life to a democratic mythic in working back and forth between these two levels, as we try to come to terms with the challenges and dangers of the political world around us. This process does not just encourage reverence for fixed, traditional values but also opens those values to critical interpretation and elaboration. This occurs with an exemplary scene such as Wiley's, but even more with scenes that only partially reflect the full democratic mythic precisely because they invite further critical reflection.
The Two Faces of Democracy
As we confront contemporary political issues, the mythic evolves in critical interactions between specific exemplary scenes that appeal to our imagination, on the one hand, and a more implicit, abstract one that we might call an "originary" scene, on the other. The latter carries our underlying sense of the central qualities of democracy. It embodies an essential array of intuitions we have about political life that provides a core sense of what freedom and equality mean, which in turn animates our understanding of the other ideals and practices of democratic life. "Originary" here signifies not some metaphysical foundation, but rather the historically evolving, conceptual, and affective basis for our reactions to events that strike us as democratically significant. The resilience of this originary scene depends on nothing more (or less) than our memory and imagination, as well as our courage to vivify it continually.
The implicit presence and role of such an underlying scene is especially evident when we reflect on iconic historical events. For example, we see an important aspect of democracy in such historic scenes as the meetings of the Continental Congress or the Constitutional Convention. But these scenes highlight only the deliberative face of democracy. A contrasting, second face of democracy is represented in the exemplary scene of the Boston Tea Party, in which the resistance of ordinary people is the focus. But we embrace this more agonistic face of democracy only if we share the sense that the confrontation is justified—as resistance against tyranny. That justification was made explicit in the Declaration of Independence, which submitted the claims of the rebellion to "a decent respect to the opinions of mankind." We recognize that the Continental Congress or the Constitutional Convention, on the one hand, and the Boston Tea Party, on the other, are separately exemplary, but we also acknowledge that each captures only a partial aspect of democratic significance. We understand each scene only against a broader, implicit originary scene, informed by the concept of what might be called "the moral equality of voice."55xMolly F. Scudder and Stephen K. White, The Two Faces of Democracy: Decentering Agonism and Deliberation (New York, NY: Oxford University Press, forthcoming), chaps. 5 and 6. That concept includes and validates the common people's voice of resistance, when their forceful "no-saying" is understood by others as a stand against injustice. That voice acquires full legitimacy, in other words, only if the assertion of liberty is accompanied by at least an implicit appeal to a never fully determinate audience that has equal status—and equal voice—in judging the validity of the claim of harm.
A Policed Myth
With varying degrees of success, the dynamic, interactive quality of a true democratic mythic resists the efforts of ideologues to shut down or "freeze" certain elements of the mythic for purposes that might described as propagandistic. That such ideologues often succeed in aligning their politics with rigid interpretations of historical or aesthetic scenes should remind us of the more harmful uses of myth in the political realm. Today, we see that danger playing out in the attempts by right-wing populists to commandeer the democratic imagination by claiming mythic status for the January 6, 2021, insurrection. "If you think about what our Declaration of Independence says, it says to overthrow tyrants," Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene declared in a fairly typical rant, defending the rioters. "There is a clear difference," she continued, "between January 6 and the Marxist, Communist revolution the Antifa, BLM, Democrat ground troops waged on the American people in 2020."66xGreene made these remarks on October 26, 2021, on War Room, a podcast by Steve Bannon. She is quoted in Josephine Harvey, "Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims Declaration of Independence Justifies Jan. 6 Attack," HuffPost.com, October 26, 2021, https://www.huffpost.com/entry/marjorie-taylor-greene-defends-jan-6_n_617880c2e4b079111a5daf0f.
The ignominious January 6 insurrection certainly involved actions that could be used to construct a democratic mythic, including images of the common people entering and occupying the chambers of the elite in the Capitol building. Yet this act of supposedly democratic resistance was striking in its lack of any acknowledgment of other voices and their right to interpret the political reality. The insurrectionists largely styled themselves as militarized fighters, clad in tactical gear, and with a set strategy, unquestioningly defending Donald Trump's fact-resistant assertions that the 2020 election had been "stolen"—claims that simply ignored "a decent respect" for the larger context of democratic opinion and the actual election outcome. The astounding denial of established facts and other legitimate views (and votes) by those attempting to symbolically frame January 6 as a democratic act produces nothing other than a policed myth.
In politics, attempts to control the mythic, to have a scene or event mean just what we want it to mean, are not unusual, though perhaps not so brazen as the efforts of those attempting to dress up the antidemocratic riot of January 6. The recent conservative political movement that styled itself as the Tea Party proudly associated itself with the events of 1773, when a group of American colonists disguised as Mohawks dumped tea into Boston Harbor to protest the increasingly tyrannical character of British rule. Americans generally consider the episode a venerable part of their democratic mythic, but its adoption by the Tea Party movement in 2009 equated the threat of eighteenth-century British tyranny with the "threat" posed by the Obama administration, an equivalence more asserted than argued (and effectively so at a time when such closed-circuit claims are propagated and reinforced by the echo chambers of highly partisan cable news channels and equally dissent-free social media). I say this not to defend some idea of the unassailable mythic purity of an important historical event against modern "perversions" of its meaning. The Boston Tea Party may continue to inspire in a democratic sense, but seeing it as part of our democratic mythic requires that we consider reinterpretations that throw new, perhaps more ambivalent, light on its significance.
Any deployment of the historical event in Boston as justification for one's authority to speak in the name of "the people" opens up a range of questions that contemporary populists assiduously avoid. Those who dumped the tea in 1773 were disguised as Native Americans. Who, then, was really speaking and acting for "the people" in that action? One intention of the disguise was to show that the participants were no longer British subjects but, instead, true Americans ferociously attached to their freedom.77xFor the full range of "mixed meanings" carried by the disguise, see Benjamin L. Carp, Defiance of the Patriots: The Boston Tea Party and the Making of America (New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 2010), 141–60. The rebels thereby embraced an ambiguous self-image, unintentionally raising the question of who, indeed, were the true American "people": the white men, the Mohawks, both? The participants claimed to represent "the people" even while intending to mean only the white male inhabitants of the colonies. Those who today drape their movement in this mythic figuration expose its underlying contradictions but fail or refuse to acknowledge them. To persist in valorizing such selectively frozen historical moments is to move increasingly onto the terrain of an antidemocratic mythic.
A search for common ground is always implicit in a serious commitment to the ongoing work of a democratic mythic. This can be easily forgotten today, when those on both the right and the left react too precipitously to the challenge of their political opponents and adopt a stance that, from the start, categorically divides the political world into "friends" and "enemies," each seeking simply to subdue the other. This rush to match the perceived toughness of the other side is increasingly justified by appeals to the thought of the twentieth-century German political theorist Carl Schmitt, infamously known as Hitler's jurist.88xAlex Pareene, "Give War a Chance: In Search of the Democratic Party's Fighting Spirit," The New Republic, June 20, 2019, https://newrepublic.com/article/154113/democratic-party-fighting-spirit-give-war-chance. His world-cleaving "decisionism" has found disciples through its promise to simplify and reinvigorate our political life in sweeping fashion, but it would do so only by denying both the elements and the dynamism of the democratic mythic, including its requirement to keep humility in mind when speaking out.99xFor a fuller presentation of this critique of Schmitt and his contemporary followers, see Scudder and White, The Two Faces of Democracy, chap. 4. For those who embrace the democratic mythic, resorting to Schmittean decisionism may be necessary in extreme situations, but it should be the last resort, arrived at only reluctantly, in a responsive, step-by-step fashion. A political ethos grounded in the democratic mythic should continually encourage us to engage opponents as if they share the core intuitions of that mythic. It is up to one's opponents, in pursuit of their political goals, either to refuse or to reaffirm these intuitions. Their speech and action determine the possibility of further democratic engagement that might carry forward that evolving "we" of the democratic imagination. Whether they do so or not, it should be clear that positive political engagement does not have to rely from the start on banning the role of myth from democratic life, but, rather, on understanding what distinguishes a true democratic mythic from its reductively propagandistic uses and abuses.

Data Streaming Learning Resources
This article is Part 3 of 7 in the Intro to Data Streaming series:
- Part 1 - The Problem with Batch ETL - Part 1
- Part 2 - The Problem with Batch ETL - Part 2
- Part 3 - This Article
- Part 4 - A Simple Real-Time App
- Part 5 - Improving the Real-Time App
- Part 6 - Lambda Architecture
- Part 7 - Kappa Architecture
During a presentation at the Nashville BI user group, I was asked to provide more material on getting started with data streaming. I'll cover some of these in other 'Intro to Data Streaming' posts, but I promised the group a blog post on the subject, and here it is. There is a ton of material out there, but it will get you started.
Also for the attendees of the meeting, here is the deck I used.
The Log: What every software engineer should know about real-time data's unifying abstraction
For many, Jay Kreps' article started it all. Jay, of Linkedin at the time, is the driving force behind Kafka and his critical insight that the ordered, immutable, transaction log can form the conceptual foundation of a data architecture has inspired many to rethink how we build systems and integrate applications. Understanding the principles here is, in my opinion, the best place to start. For a more comprehensive view of the subject, you can also read the I Heart Logs e-book. Jay is now the CEO of Confluent, and speaking of Confluent …
Following Confluent's blog is a must. There is a constant stream (ha) of high quality material here from the best in the business. Confluent is the company supporting Kafka, so expect plenty of material about their product. However, Kafka is also the gold-standard implementation of persistent, distributed, immutable transaction logs so it's non-negotiable reading anyway.
Making Sense of Stream Processing
Martin Kleppmann is another name to know. This free e-book is a great way to orient to the subject at-large. For an even broader perspective, his new book Designing Data-Intensive Applications digs into thorny issues of distributed systems. (Full disclosure, I'm only part way through this one at the time of writing.)
Nathan Marz, the creator of Apache Storm, another major player in data streaming, introduces the Lambda Architecture, which was the de-facto standard in achieving real-time capabilities for a while.
Marz's design is expounded upon in his book with the rather misleading title Big Data.
Questioning the Lambda Architecture
Jay Kreps' response to Marz is becoming as influential as his 'The Log' post. In it he points out that the Lambda architecture has more complexity than necessary … if you make Kafka the center of your architecture, of course.
The World Beyond Batch: Streaming 101
The World Beyond Batch: Streaming 102
Tyler Akidau works on the Google Millwheel team. In these O'Reilly (another great resource) posts he expounds upon streaming from a different perspective from the above. He writes about computational matters, especially various aspects of dealing with time. This is a very good view into how streaming architecture not only reaches parity with batch, but surpasses it in capabilities. Reading the Millwheel VLDB paper, if you're up for it, is a deep dive.

The amount of fertile soil that is lost worldwide every year recently equalled around a third of the area of Germany, and it continues to grow. This has serious consequences for both the global food supply and the climate. The arid regions in Asia, Africa and Latin America are the hardest hit. It is here that the people who live from agriculture suffer the most, as their fields provide the food they need to survive. In addition, fertile soils are the second largest carbon reservoir after the world's oceans, which makes them indispensable for climate protection. This is why concepts are needed that utilise the soil in an ecological way.
The objective of the project ProSoil is to help smallholder farmers to learn how to apply climate-friendly, agroecological methods to protect their land from soil erosion and to restore and maintain soil fertility. To this end, WOCAT has supported the documentation and exchange of best practice in the seven project countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Madagascar, Tunisia.

12 Days of Christmas: Day 3
My parents have lived in the same house since before I was born, and they've had the same next-door neighbor, Lois, the entire time. Lois is one of the sweetest women you'll ever meet, and occasionally she would bring us gifts - whether a craft that she made or a delicious treat like this amazing Poppy Seed Bread. Each year, a few days before Christmas we start expecting Lois to knock on the door with this bread in hand. She was kind enough to share the recipe with us several years ago, and it's one of my favorite quick breads. I make it every Christmas to give away as gifts. This year, I've used my mom's mini loaf pans and will include one in each of my holiday gift packages. The bread also freezes well, and since I have taken on a lot of baking this year, I have made my loaves early and frozen them, so they will still be fresh in two weeks when I've ready to give them as gifts. The only downfall of freezing the bread is that you lose the crispiness of the top.
I really can't tell you how good this bread is - it's so moist and flavorful - the almond extract adds such a delicious flavor. I don't recommend skipping the drizzle - it soaks into the bread and really adds moisture and sweetness. You will not be sorry if you make this!!!
Poppy Seed bread
3 eggs, beaten
2 2/3 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups oil
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons butter extract
1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
3 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 Tablespoons poppy seeds
For the drizzle:
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon butter extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Preheat oven to 350F.
1. To the beaten eggs, add sugar, milk, oil, vanilla, and extracts, flour, salt, baking powder, and poppy seeds. Mix together.
2. Pour into 2 greased and floured loaf pans and bake for 50-60 minutes, or a little longer, until a wooden stick/toothpick inserted comes out clean (or use 6 mini loaf pans and bake for approximately 45 minutes). Note: I used Crisco with flour spray instead of greasing and flouring, and the loaves slid out beautifully!
3. Either remove loaves from pans now or you can wait. Prepare drizzle and pour over bread while warm. When cool, if you haven't already, remove loaves from pans. To maintain a crispy top, wrap in aluminum foil and store at room temperature. To freeze, wrap each loaf in plastic wrap and aluminum foil and place in a freezer bag.

What Deduplication does CTERA Support
- 2 Minutes to read
- Print
- DarkLight
CTERA supports multi-level deduplication on both the CTERA portal and edge filers, enabling major saving in storage capacity required for the backend object and frontend cache storage as well as reducing the network bandwidth required for edge to cloud synchronization.
Deduplication is set by default both at the portal and edge filer levels but can be tuned based on your security requirements and the type of data you have.
Deduplication on CTERA Portals
CTERA Portal splits each stored file into blocks and performs block-level deduplication automatically for all data stored on the backend object storage.
Portal deduplication is also used for optimizing the traffic between edge filers and the portal, guaranteeing that only unique blocks are sent when syncing data between the local cache and the portal global file system.
All users in a team portal share, by default, a single folder group, enabling cooperative global deduplication between all members of the group. Administrators have the option to limit the scope of the deduplication to a user level or up to a cloud folder group level, based on security and scale requirements.
It is possible to tune deduplication performance by changing the block size settings. Increasing the average block size setting or the fixed block size setting causes the files to be split into larger chunks before storage, and results in increased read/write throughput at the cost of a reduced deduplication ratio. For example, with the default 4MB fixed block size, a file of 3MB will be uploaded as a single 3MB block and a file of 5MB will be uploaded as two blocks, 4MB and 1MB.
Increased block size is useful for workloads that require high performance, as well as for those that do not gain greatly from deduplication. For example, where the stored files consist mostly of videos, images, and music files that are not frequently modified. For example, you may want to change the defaults to use fixed block size if many of the folder groups include large files, such as media files, where deduplication is not common.
Decreasing the average block size can result in better deduplication, since the portal can better identify finer-grained duplicate data.
CTERA recommends consulting CTERA before changing the defaults. Changes to these values do not affect existing folder groups.
Deduplication on Edge Filers
CTERA edge filers support file-level deduplication that reduces physical cache storage and improves performance when accessing stub files that already exists as another file on the edge filer.
Files with the same content are linked to the same on-disk data, instead of taking twice the disk space. A deduped file, upon being modified, is populated with the underlying data.
Files are deduped:
- During a copy and paste operation in Windows File Explorer or Mac Finder.
- After a file is modified locally, during the upload to the portal, the file will be deduplicated with a local copy of the data, if one exists.
- If a local copy exists before a download starts, deduplication is immediate and the file is not downloaded, saving the network traffic.
Local file-level deduplication requires Edge Filer version 7.3.x and higher.
Local deduplication is reported in the Cloud Sync log.
A restart is required after enabling or disabling deduplication.

Welcome to Find the Good Day, a celebration of compassion, community, and positive change! Join us in embracing the spirit of kindness and empowerment as we commemorate this special occasion that echoes the core values of the Junior Leagues across the world.
The history of Junior Leagues dates back to the late 19th century when visionary women recognized the need for organized efforts to address pressing social issues. Inspired by a shared commitment to effect positive change, they established the first Junior League in New York City in 1901. Over the years, Junior Leagues have proliferated across the United States and beyond, becoming a transformative force for good.
At the heart of every Junior League lies a profound dedication to empowering women to become catalysts for change. Through training, mentorship, and hands-on experience, Junior League members evolve into confident leaders who drive meaningful transformations in their communities.
Find the Good Day is not just a date on the calendar; it's a movement that reflects the timeless spirit of Junior Leagues – a legacy of kindness, empowerment, and community transformation. Together, we aim to make a difference by embracing the power of unity and positive change.
As we commemorate this extraordinary occasion, we extend an open invitation to all passionate individuals who wish to be a part of this impactful movement. Whether you're an experienced advocate or a budding philanthropist, there's a place for you in the Junior Leagues.
Join hands with us on Find the Good Day, and let's create a legacy of compassion and positivity that will resonate for generations to come. Together, we can find the good in every day and make a real difference in the lives of others.
Celebrate Find the Good Day with us, and together, let's continue the inspiring journey that began over a century ago, leaving a legacy of compassion for generations to come.
The Junior League of Grand Rapids is thrilled to have received a Proclamation from Rosalynn Bliss, Mayor of Grand Rapids, proclaiming September 14th, 2023 as Find the Good Day in Grand Rapids, Michigan. We invite the entire community to "Find the Good" by coming together as changemakers, finding inspiration in the acts of kindness within you, and around you.
Find the Good Day -Proclamation2023
This Find the Good Day, the Junior League of Grand Rapids will be partnering with the YWCA West Central Michigan to spread awareness around Period Product Insecurity and provide essential hygiene products to the women and girls who seek their services.
What is Period Product Insecurity?
Most of us are unaware that roughly 40% of menstruating females struggle to purchase the supplies they need due to low income or accessibility. This is period poverty, or period product insecurity.
A 2021 study by U by Kotex® shows a 35% increase in period poverty since 2018, with two out five people struggling to purchase period products. Read the full news release here.
To support our efforts to combat the stigma and issues around Period Product Insecurity, the Junior League of Grand Rapids will be collecting feminine hygiene products including tampons, pads, panty liners, menstrual cups, and postpartum pads. These supplies will be given to the women and girls who seek the services of the YWCA domestic violence shelter, and those who need care from the Nurse Examiners Program for victims of sexual assault.
Donations will be received at the General Membership Meeting on September 12th, as well as additional sites still to be determined during the week of September 3-10.
If you have any questions, or would like more information on how you can get involved in Find the Good Day please email firstname.lastname@example.com and follow us on Social Media @juniorleaguegr

Course 8 - Hole 8
| ||||||||||
| ||||||||||
Course 8 - Hole 8 is the last hole of Course 8 in Kirby's Dream Course. This hole features an extremely long and straight path across numerous hazards and other obstacles.
Hole 8's board is by far the longest in Kirby's Dream Course, though despite its length, it is a straightforward, straight, and mostly flat path which will take Kirby across numerous different types of enemies and hazard types. Kirby begins in the upper-left end of the board, but can use the Warp Panel behind him to head straight to the right end of he wants. Otherwise, the path continues down to the right past Whispy Woods, then across a Danger Zone flanked by Chilly and Twister. From there, Kirby can use a Dash Panel to cross a Pond and hit Rocky on the other side before heading down a short cliff and hitting Wheelie before crossing another much longer pond. From there, Kirby hits a Flamer before crashing into a bumper wall which can be used to gain some height to hit the UFO ahead. From there, three Gaspars can be found in-between trampolines and another set of warp panels. Lastly, up a slope, a Starman and another Whispy Woods can be found.
Extra Game[edit]
In the Extra Game, Kirby starts on the right end of the board. To his right is a Flamer, which has replaced Whispy Woods and Starman in that area. The three Gaspars to the left have been replaced with a single Broomhatter just to the left of the leftmost Warp Panel there. The remaining enemies can all be found at the leftmost part of the board, those being Wheelie, Starman, Chilly, and Twister.

Ubicomp technology faces many technical challenges, which makes it difficult to test in real world situations. However, understanding and building for everyday practices is crucial for ubicomp designers, in order to push the technological development in the directions needed. We have developed and tested a ubiquitous computing prototype supporting collaborative scheduling. It is based on Pin&Play, a surface-based networking technology with interactive pushpins. The team of a local film festival was engaged in the development process, which resulted in a partial implementation illustrating how their current work practice could be supported. Drawing on this particular design case, we report findings and discuss challenges for ubicomp technology in general.

I wonder if some posters on here go on the same way in real life.
"Would sir like one of our sauces with the steak?"
"Don't talk to me about bloody sauces, that Margaret Thatcher was the worst excuse for a human being ever, and every member of the Conservative cabinet should have been drowned at birth."
"Shall I take that as 'no thank you'?"
I think you might be surprised by how diverse our political profiles might be. A better question is perhaps, who would you vote for and why?
Some background...
I was raised as a good little conservative voter, went to public school (day pupil) and on to University. At Uni I met some really good friends who exposed me to the fact that not everyone was like me, and that people and lifestyles that I had been previously critical of were not in fact awful, or linked to crime etc. I still continued to vote conservative though, feeling generally that I liked their policies. I'm 47 now, but haven't voted Tory since I voted for Cameron in 2010, so 5 times I voted Tory and then no more...
I have changed, obviously. As we get older we tend to get more middle of the road. I still don't want to pay a huge amount of income tax, or abolish private schools, but I do think we should help people who are worse off, and pursue beneficial relationships with other countries. I don't see the point in trying to tax the super rich because they will just disappear to a country where they don't pay the tax. I do see the point in taxing tech giants though. I have no fondness for unions or labour infighting.
The problem is that we have a viciously populist and right wing conservative party and a completely useless opposition labour party. The middle of the road voter has been abandoned. The Lib Dems have no prospect of forming a government unless it is in coalition. Labour continually bleat on that they will not entertain a coalition, and it allows the Tories to win. The best result at the moment for middle of the road Britain would be a liberal coalition. An arrangement to stop the Labour front benches from getting too silly but offering a better, more compassionate and less corrupt government than the Tories offer.
Until we get rid of the corrupt and morally bankrupt Tories and get back some of the David Amess Tories, I think we will continue to suffer as a country. What I'd really like is proper proportional representation. It's just wrong that someone like Raab can lose a 16,000 majority, still be an MP and 30,000 votes count for nothing.
So - who do I and the millions like me vote for?

This year is likely to be another big one for telemedicine.
The technology-enabled form of healthcare delivery has huge momentum coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic. But at the same time, the pandemic public health emergency is scheduled to end in May, which means action is needed by lawmakers to keep reimbursement going in 2023. There's lots going on, to say the least.
Michael Gorton is founder and CEO of Recuro Health, a virtual care company that offers Digital Medical Home, which enables members in all 50 states to virtually access comprehensive healthcare services, including virtual primary and urgent care, behavioral health, at-home lab testing, genomics testing, as well as a suite of supplemental benefits.
We interviewed Gorton to get his expert perspective on what may be the big trends in telehealth this year. And he offered four big ones.
Q. You suggest this year will see the continued transformation of virtual care to virtual-first. Why do you think this will be? And what will it look like at provider organizations?
A. Virtual care continues to transform traditional healthcare from a reactive, disease-focused model to a proactive, holistic system that is digitally integrated, patient-centric, and focused on personalized health and wellness.
We anticipate rapid expansion of virtual care that will dramatically reshape how healthcare services are accessed, coordinated and delivered. Virtual care already has replicated many aspects of traditional health provisions now efficiently and effectively delivered remotely, shifting the site of care from the physician's office into the home.
Advancements in wireless communications and data technologies are enabling remote patient screenings and diagnostics in a way not previously thought possible – and forging a digitally connected relationship between patients and providers.
We are seeing more focus on a "virtual-first" approach to solving significant healthcare challenges, while also driving value throughout the healthcare ecosystem and along the patient's healthcare journey. By connecting patients with providers through a virtual-first experience, it is improving access, outcomes, satisfaction and the quality of life for patients and successfully helping providers meet today's challenges in complex clinical and financial environments.
Challenges addressed by virtual-first care include:
· Addressing healthcare needs of an exploding population coupled with a shortage of primary care physicians, nurses and clinical resources.
· Responding to demand for affordable and convenient healthcare services given a surge in general and healthcare inflation.
· Reducing associated provider, payer and patient costs in value-based care arrangements.
· Resolving barriers to care associated with social determinants of health and health equity priorities.
· Improving overall patient experience and outcomes scores that incentivize new quality payment models.
Given its current popularity and progress, virtual care will increasingly demonstrate its value and scalability to become the preferred healthcare delivery method for providers in value-based care. The cost-reducing and affordability aspects of virtual-first care also will influence payer adoption as a benefit covered by health plans and insurance.
Q. You predict that with telemedicine there will be a greater focus on care coordination. How so?
A. The digital health industry is bringing telemedicine/health innovation to market that are creating new efficiency paradigms in coordinating healthcare.
Care coordination is a natural extension of the remote care model that integrates both digital and virtual care. It accesses healthcare in a cogent way that dives better outcomes, and provides a new moniker for the care gatekeeper, such as a patient's virtual primary care physician.
New virtual health solutions are being introduced that provide for "complete and coordinated" care integrated into one central platform. Comprehensive services include virtual primary and urgent care, behavioral health, at-home lab testing, genomics testing, as well as a suite of supplemental benefits, such as chronic care management, pharmacy and care navigation.
On-demand access to in-demand health services is enabled through the most advanced IT, computing and mobile technologies across multiple communication channels, including real-time video and secure messaging.
Payers are placing high value on this one-stop resource, which integrates all their vendor solutions and providers in one central location to relieve "vendor fatigue." Virtual care's seamless, single-point patient experience is delivering coordinated provider health services that are digitally optimized as a benefit of a member's health plan.
Q. Another trend you believe will be strong this year is payers embracing virtual behavioral health. Why do you think this will be?
A. The COVID-19 pandemic posed unprecedented challenges to our nation's healthcare system with a surge in demand for clinical behavioral health services. The pandemic, in retrospect, revealed vulnerabilities to our healthcare system and realization that mental health conditions are an underlying comorbidity.
As mental health issues become more socially destigmatized, we continue to see a surge in post-COVID-19 demand for professional counseling and therapy to address residual stress, anxiety and depression.
Many still at risk, including adults and teens, are finding it difficult and costly to access care when needed the most – at home, work and school. This demand severely strains clinical resources and reveals a shortage of providers and other vulnerabilities of the behavioral health system. This recognized a need for a new generation of innovative virtual behavioral health solutions.
Despite concerns about rising healthcare costs, employer-sponsored health plans are focused on improving access to mental health services and reducing burnout among employees. Payers are enhancing their mental health and well-being benefits for employees and are poised to continue expanding scalable offerings through continued investment in virtual behavioral health solutions in 2023.
Q. And you say higher utilization of telehealth will lead to greater health equity. Please elaborate.
A. Along the healthcare journey, patients are faced with multiple challenges and barriers to accessing timely, quality affordable healthcare. Virtual care is serving an important role in overcoming health inequities that result in at-risk patient barriers to care associated with their social determinants of health, which specifically impact access, cost and quality.
Access to quality, affordable healthcare is a fundamental human right, regardless of patient location, economic status or race. The American Medical Association says telehealth has the potential to become an important tool to address longstanding health inequities in the historically marginalized racial and ethnic groups that have been disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
As the financial success of physician practices are becoming dependent on meeting metric goals of new quality payment models that include health equity priorities, providers are seeking guidance on health equity strategies and resources that will help them succeed in value-based care arrangements.
The American Medical Association encourages physicians to examine their own practices to ensure equality in medical care. As awareness of the impact of social determinants of health factors has increased, physicians now are putting more focus and priority on health equity to meet the socioeconomic needs of their patients.
Virtual care is providing physicians with a tech-enabled solution to addressing health equity challenges in value-based care environments.

Do you know someone who likes to hit the gym seven days a week, even making time for two-a-days? Admirable, right? Sure.
Visiting the gym every day of the week and working your hardest shows dedication, but it can also lead you to overtraining. Yes, overtraining is a real thing. When a person trains too much, without giving the body adequate recovery time, the body can plateau and performance can decrease while the chance of injury increases.
When submerging yourself into an active lifestyle, it's absolutely necessary to give the body time to regenerate. Muscles are meant to break down, but also to rebuild. Overtraining actually places chronic stress on the body and its effects are just as great as not exercising at all. So in this case, less can actually be more. If you're experiencing any of the below indications of overtraining, it may be time to prioritize a regeneration routine.
Common signs of Overtraining
1. Has your body stopped improving, even with all of the hard work your putting in? You've plateaued. This is one of the most common indications of overtraining. You're constantly ripping your muscles apart without giving them a chance to repair.
2. Injuring yourself more and more these days? Overtraining means training in a weakened state because again, you're working on a muscle that hasn't had a chance to repair. Injuries that are a result of overtraining usually happen in areas of the body that have been injured before.
3. Experiencing an unusually high or low resting heart rate? Your resting heart rate can be measured through a heart rate monitor or by counting your pulse before getting out of bed in the morning.
RELATED: Active Recovery: 3 Things You Should Be Doing On Rest Days
4. Feeling ill or fatigued? Illness doesn't fit into a healthy lifestyle, but your immune system weakens when your body is put into a constant catabolic state, meaning the natural process of muscle tissue growth and repair won't take place and it will instead eat away at itself in order to find energy.
5. Good sleep is often associated with a good workout, but in the case of the over-trainer, it could be insomnia instead. All systems are being overtaxed, including the nervous and endocrine systems.
Placing stress on these systems, especially in combination, can lead to dysfunction of the adrenal glands. This not only affects sleeping patterns, but is

AI-generated recipes that actually work aren't coming to your kitchen anytime soon. Luckily, Eater's team of editors, fellow humans that also need to figure out what to cook themselves for dinner most nights, have tried their hands at the thousands of recipes that exist online and in print, and have earmarked their favorites. Here now, their favorite recipes they made in 2023:
What was the best recipe you made this year?
Grateful Pizza's focaccia: Everyone says focaccia is "sooooo easy" and "you can't mess this one up," and yet, I have ended up with many a mid focaccia, solidifying my mental image of myself as an irredeemably bad baker. Frustrated, I decided to try some new things this year. I switched to instant yeast instead of active dry. After watching many of Caroline Anderson's cooking videos on TikTok, I attempted her focaccia recipe. And then, I combined the two. These days, I make focaccia about every other week, heralding each version as "my best focaccia yet." No matter how much I mess with it — skipping the overnight rise, accidentally adding the yeast at the very beginning, switching it up with inclusions like caramelized onions or kimchi and scallions — it always turns out beautifully crispy on the bottom and fluffy on the inside. — Bettina Makalintal, senior reporter
This would have to be the sweet and sour tofu from Romy Gill's Zaika. I make a lot of tofu, and have made a lot of good tofu recipes this year (shoutout to Hetty Lui McKinnon for her unerring genius). But this one is my favorite for a couple of reasons. One, it's a very flavorful, very easy recipe: You just marinate tofu pieces in a simple sauce made of ketchup, honey, cornstarch, soy sauce, fresh ginger and garlic, and a few spices; saute the tofu for a few minutes; and voila. Two, I first made this in October while visiting my dear friend Louise in Scotland. We hadn't seen each other in almost a decade, and being able to cook together was one of the high points of my year. So this recipe will always carry that memory for me as surely as it carries its bewitching flavors. — Rebecca Flint Marx, Home editor
I'm not a big cook but I do enjoy baking occasionally. The most memorable bake for me this year was the sprinkle cake I had the honor of making for a one-year-old's birthday party, using this Molly Yeh recipe. I didn't go through the trouble of buying imitation vanilla, but the result — which I decorated with even more sprinkles —was nonetheless deliciously nostalgic, the platonic ideal of homemade birthday cake. — Monica Burton, deputy editor
I made it my mission this year to cook with a lot more actual recipes, as opposed to my usual slapdash, improv, "just sizzle up whatever's in the fridge" style. The most memorable of these was easily Smitten Kitchen's chicken rice with buttered onions. The deceivingly simple dish is a one-pot wonder, richly oniony, hearty, and endlessly reheatable. It's tasty enough for company but easy enough to feed the fam on a Tuesday. Deb Perelman strikes again. — Lesley Suter, special projects editor
I spent most of the summer making Nasim Lahbichi's herby, no-mayo potato salad recipe. It was bright, punchy, lacquered in olive oil, and endlessly adaptable. Don't have cucumbers? Add pickles. Don't want all that dill? Swap it for mint. But definitely don't leave out the preserved lemons, an essential ingredient. — Amy McCarthy, staff writer
As a baker-come-lately, I've slowly been working through BraveTart, Stella Parks's fantastic-if-deeply-challenging cookbook of classic American desserts. In homage to one of my mom's previous birthdays, a family-infamous event in which Hostess Cupcakes stood in for a birthday cake during a family trip, I cobbled together the homemade version of the cupcakes as best I could for her celebration in 2023. After a snafu with some curdled filling, I opted for a simpler cream cheese icing and concentrated on my swirly piping technique. My only other addition was a few birthday candles. — Nicholas Mancall-Bitel, senior editor
The Cabbage Carbonara-ish from Hetty Lui McKinnon's Tenderheart. I've been cooking through this whole cookbook and every single recipe is a hit, but this one was just so perfect. It completely transforms a head of cabbage into a sweet, meaty accompaniment to pasta, and her instructions resulted in one of the few times I've successfully made a silky carbonara sauce. — Jaya Saxena, correspondent
Look, I'm obviously going to pick something from the Eater cookbook, which came out this year. One dish that's been on repeat for me is actually a component of a larger recipe: Zoë Komarin's curry-dusted roasted broccoli, beet, and orange salad. On its own, it's a visually arresting and flavor-packed side dish. And, if you take the option of buying pre-cut florets, as I do because I have a toddler and my time in the kitchen is at a premium these days, it's dead-easy, too. (You can find it on page 53.) Honorable mentions: Max Boonthanakit's cheater chile crisp bolognese from the Eater cookbook (page 126), Ali Slagle's harissa chickpeas with feta from I Dream of Dinner, this Alison Roman one-pot chicken which I made when a toddler illness kept us from joining a larger family meal and thus necessitated me planning something at the last minute. — Hillary Dixler Canavan, restaurant editor
