UNITED - the details
We're creating the biggest ever 1940's-themed-event-wrapped-around-a-film-premiere that you will have ever seen.
Here are some key questions answered.
When & where? Saturday 29th September in two spectacular hangars in the Imperial War Museum, Duxford. The event starts at 7.00pm and ends at 11.45pm.
What is it? It's a hangar dance on steroids, with a film premiere in the middle. There will be period cocktails (created & served by the fabulous Cambridge Cocktail Weekend), vintage food from The Grill Sergeant, a 1940's trio called The Knightingales charming you as you sip said cocktails, an authentic jazz band called Harmony in Harlem (dancing, anyone?) booked by the brilliant Cambridge International Jazz Festival, and some rather fabulous pin-ups and entertainment from the brilliant Neon Moon. You can see more about the event partners by scrolling down this page.
Why is it called United? That's a good question, with many answers. Because the film is about love and the connection (or otherwise) between people, and because we're in the United Kingdom and in WWII the United States of America joined with us and brought something rather special to this region. But it's also because House of Cambridge is all about uniting brilliant creators of content to give you a good time. People are good together, basically.
What does it cost? Standard tickets cost £32.50 / early bird tickets (of which we're offering a limited number, once they're gone, they're gone!) cost £28, and VIP tickets cost £50 (with an early bird price of £45, ditto). There is a small booking fee applied by our ticket partner.
What's included in the ticket price? A sparkling drink on arrival, as well as two live bands, one film premiere, and an incredible vibe. If you buy a VIP ticket you get a 'meet & greet' with the director & cast, an extra cocktail, a hotdog from the Grill Sergeant or a vegan / vegetarian option (which is unlikely to be vintage, but we figured that a vegan hotdog with bread might not be everyone's cup of tea, so we're going to bring in some gorgeous vegan food and warp time), and the best seats in the house for the film.
What else is available? Period cocktails. And pretty much every drink a bar normally serves. And food from The Grill Sergeant.
What should you wear? The sky is the limit, literally! Think the RAF, think 1940's retro, think land girls, think American G.I.'s, flying jackets. We'll be in touch about this and about what our Wing Commander for the night might award the best dressed in due course ;)
Where & when can I get tickets? Tickets go on sale at 2pm on Tuesday 21st August and will available to buy online only at http://houseofcambridge.ticketlight.co.uk or click the big link in red below.
Who else is involved? Scroll down to see the Magpie film trailer, and for more info regarding our event partners, food & entertainment...
the UK Premiere of 'Magpie'
Magpie is an Independent British drama, written, directed and filmed in East Anglia by directors Paul Cook and Carmel Hannant. When the directors approached House of Cambridge about hosting their UK premiere, we could not believe our luck. Just watch the trailer below, and you'll see why. For 'UNITED' we are delighted to be welcoming a whole heap of people from the cast and crew, and also a number of the re-enactment communities supporting the film, along with vehicles (and touch wood, possibly a plane or two). The film lasts c.45 minutes and will be screened in partnership with the Cambridge Film Festival. We cannot wait. But there's a little more that we'll be building around it....

The International Space Station is a "great model for society," said NASA astronaut and retired Army Col. Robert S. "Shane" Kimbrough, who returned to Earth on April 10 after 173 days in space.

It's a study of how six Russian, American, French and Japanese crew members can work together in confined spaces to do some really incredible science and research that will benefit all of society, said Kimbrough, who was the Expedition 50 commander on the International Space Station.
The experience on the ISS demonstrates that none of the countries could have done it alone, Kimbrough said. "It takes all the international partners working together to make that space station program happen," he added.
"As space station commander, you've got to integrate all those different types of people, personalities and culture to make an effective team," he said, adding that integrating the team wasn't much of a challenge because he had a great crew. "I was just fortunate enough to be up there with the people I was," he said.
Good Communication
The crew communicated well despite the variety of native languages, the astronaut said. He and another American, along with a Japanese and French astronaut, spoke to the three cosmonauts in Russian, and in turn, the Russians spoke English to them.
"We were constantly working on the language and always learning more vocabulary and different terms, and even slang," he said. The challenging he said, part was translating the technical jargon. Overall, he said, it was great working with the crew amid the differences in language, culture and cuisine, Kimbrough said. "It's always interesting learning different cultures," he added.
Besides sharing languages, the crew also shared food, Kimbrough said. The Russians would partake of the American, French and Japanese food, and they, in turn, would be offered Russian meals, particularly on weekends.
"They seemed to enjoy our food, and we enjoyed theirs," he said.
After 173 days in space, living in a confined area, it might seem easy to get on each other's nerves after a while. Not so, Kimbrough said.
"We had a lot of training before the mission in learning ways and techniques on how to not annoy people," he said. "When they pick astronauts, one of the criteria is, 'Are you going to annoy somebody if you are in a small area for a long time? Because if so, we don't want you here doing this job. You can do something else.'"
Space Travel is Fun
Kimbrough said the crew did a lot of important scientific experiments in biology and the physical sciences. Some of the biology experiments could lead to advances in medical treatment, he noted.
But besides all the work, the crew had a lot of fun, too. "Every day is fun," he said. "Everything is floating around, and you're floating around instead of walking. Eating is especially fun. You can eat upside down, right-side up, toss an M&M to your buddy across the room or send him a drink. We played around a lot with our food. We tell our kids at home not to do that, but we do it in space."
Another type of fun, he said, was "looking out the window at our beautiful planet Earth. That was really special."
Valued Army Experience
Kimbrough credits the Army with giving him many opportunities for operational experience and leadership training, beginning at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York, and all of the follow-on leadership courses throughout his career.
NASA is looking for astronauts with that type of experience, along with the education. Kimbrough graduated from West Point in 1989 with a Bachelor of Science degree in aerospace engineering, and he later graduated from Georgia Tech in 1998 with a Master of Science degree in operations research. His operational experience includes piloting an Apache helicopter during the Gulf War.

Besides education and leadership experience, NASA is looking for someone who has been exposed to unique and austere environments, something "we as soldiers experience on deployments," Kimbrough said. NASA also is interested in someone who can thrive on a team and deal with stress, he added.
"We're good at memorizing responses in critical situations," he said. "My brain was set in that mode from all of the Army training. So we're always preparing for worst-case situations and hoping we never have to go there, but if something bad would happen, we're ready to go and respond in those situations."
Mars Mission
Is a manned mission to Mars in the cards for the future? "I absolutely think having a manned mission to Mars and other places is where we need to go. … That is the next frontier for humanity," Kimbrough said.
In a couple of decades, a human will land on Mars, he predicted, "but I'll certainly be too old to do that when the time comes around."
The school children he talks to today will be the generation that gets to Mars, he said. "Hopefully, we can inspire them to go down that road," he added.
Soldier for Life
It's an honor to be a soldier for life, Kimbrough said, noting that the Army instilled in him "this incredible sense of service ever since going to West Point." Working for NASA as a civil servant also is a wonderful experience, he said.
No matter where he goes or who he meets, Kimbrough said, he feels that he's representing the Army, and "that's a great feeling."
Kimbrough added that he couldn't have ever been successful in the Army or NASA without the support of his friends and family, particularly during long deployments or in space on this mission and a previous one in 2008 aboard the space shuttle Endeavour to the ISS.

Planning to upgrade multiple DB2 9.1 and 9.5 instances to 10.5. Understand it is a 2 step process, first to 9.7 than to 10.5. DB2 9.7 will never be operational, we plan to test the upgrade process, but application and reporting testing to be done for the target 10.5 only. Is this acceptable? Is there documentation detailing such process? Have other customers done it?
Answer by Friedmar (1) | Aug 30, 2017 at 11:31 AM
the problem on upgrading from a Db2 Version prior to 9.7 is a change in the internal structure of the tablespaces (reclaimable space). From my expirience the best way is do start with a completely new database. In that it makes no difference of the target Db2. In fact you could go directly from 9.5 to 220.127.116.11.
This is the way:
export all application tables
if you do not have actual ddl db2look is your friend!
create new instance/databse apply correct ddl
load exported tables
If you need further assistance you could ask me. I am a consultant have expierience in doing this kind of migrations, even inplace. I could also provide the base for a script.
Regards, Friedmar
@Friedmar how can I contact you? Email? Thank you
Answer by ela p. (1) | Aug 30, 2017 at 12:51 PM
How is the tablespace structure change addressed in migrations from 9.1 and 9.5 to 9.7? We will definitely consider creating new db, but it might be too much data to export and land somewhere, the better option would be load from a cursor. We also have very many databases to deal with. And in my experience db2look is not always your best friend. Could you please shed some light on the 'inplace' upgrades you are referring to?

Hello @ela p.
We could find official documents as Knowledge Center:
For upgrading TO V9.7:
V9.7, Upgrade to DB2 Version 9.7
Upgrading to a new release of DB2® database products might require upgrading your DB2 environment components if you want them to run on the new release.
Your DB2 environment has several components such as DB2 servers, DB2 clients, database applications, and routines. Upgrading these components requires an understanding of DB2 database products and their upgrade concepts. For example, if you have an existing DB2 environment with DB2 Version 9.5, DB2 Version 9.1, or DB2 UDB Version 8 copies and you want to upgrade them to DB2 Version 9.7, then you must upgrade your DB2 environment.
V9.7, DB2 servers upgrade
V9.7, Upgrading a DB2 server (Linux and UNIX)
V9.7, Upgrading a DB2 server (Windows)
V9.7, Upgrade essentials for DB2 servers
Consider the following factors to develop a complete understanding of upgrading DB2 servers to DB2 Version 9.7:
DB2 command actions to upgrade instances and databases
Upgrade restrictions for DB2 servers
Best practices for upgrading DB2 servers
Disk space requirements for DB2 server upgrades
Support changes for 32-bit and 64-bit DB2 servers
DB2 server behavior changes
Deprecated or discontinued functionality that affects DB2 server upgrades
Migration from relational database management systems other than DB2
For Upgrading to V10.5:
V10.5, Upgrade DB2 servers
You can directly upgrade existing DB2 Version 9.7, DB2 Version 9.8, or DB2 Version 10.1 instances and databases to DB2 Version 10.5. Learn details, limitations about the upgrade process, and possible issues that you must be aware of in Upgrade essentials for DB2 servers. Refer to the upgrading DB2 server tasks for details on how to upgrade to DB2 Version 10.5. In the upgrading DB2 server topics, the term pre-DB2 Version 10.5 copy refers to DB2 Version 9.7, Version 9.8, or Version 10.1.
V10.5, Upgrade essentials for DB2 servers
Consider the following factors to develop a complete understanding of upgrading DB2 servers to DB2 Version 10.5:

Please kindly ignore this answer, if you already know. But I would guess there should be tons of users who did in the past with above pages.
Hope this helps.
Answer by ela p. (1) | Sep 12, 2017 at 09:10 AM
My question is specific, documentation only says that to upgrade to DB2 10.5 from versions prior to DB2 9.7 one has to upgrade to 9.7 first. That is when all documentation ends this topic. The question is, providing we do all the prep work relevant to 9.7 and 10.5, can we just issue the 2 sets of upgrade commands: 9.7 db2iupgrade + upgrade database immediately followed by 10.5 db2iupgrade + upgrade database without stopping to test 9.7. All application testing to be done for 10.5 only.
Also, how does the tablespace structure change affect migrated databases in this scenario?
Answer by CHARIN_KUMJUDPAI (1) | Mar 19, 2018 at 05:42 AM
Hi IBM expert for Db2+PowerHA,
Customer was create PMR to IBM for support to upgrade DB2 9.7 to 10.5 in powerHA servers environment with minimal downtime.

Apache Kafka is a publish-subscribe messaging system developed by Apache written in Scala. It is a distributed, partitioned and replicated log service2. Mention What Is The Traditional Method Of Message Transfer?The traditional method of message transfer includes two methods
In a queuing, a pool of consumers may read a message from the server and each message goes to one of the Publish-Subscribe: In this model, messages are broadcasted to all consumers Kafka caters single consumer abstraction that generalized both of the above- the consumer group.3. Mention What Is The Benefits Of Apache Kafka Over The Traditional Technique?
Apache Kafka has following benefits above traditional messaging technique Fast: A single Kafka broker can serve thousands of clients by handling megabytes of reads and writes per second Scalable: Data are partitioned and streamlined over a cluster of machines to enable larger data Durable: Messages are persistent and is replicated within the cluster to prevent data loss Distributed by Design: It provides fault tolerance guarantees and durability4. Mention What Is The Meaning Of Broker In Kafka? In Kafka cluster, broker term is used to refer Server. 5. Mention What Is The Maximum Size Of The Message Does Kafka Server Can Receive? The maximum size of the message that Kafka server can receive is 1000000 bytes. 6. Explain What Is Zookeeper In Kafka?
Can We Use Kafka Without Zookeeper?Zookeeper is an open source, high-performance co-ordination service used for distributed applications adapted by Kafka.No, it is not possible to bye-pass Zookeeper and connect straight to the Kafka broker. Once the Zookeeper is down, it cannot serve client request.Zookeeper is basically used to communicate between different nodes in a clusterIn Kafka, it is used to commit offset, so if node fails in any case it can be retrieved from the previously committed offset Apart from this it also does other activities like leader detection, distributed synchronization, configuration management, identifies when a new node leaves or joins, the cluster, node status in real time, etc.7. Explain How Message Is Consumed By Consumer In Kafka?
Transfer of messages in Kafka is done by using send file API. It enables the transfer of bytes from the socket to disk via kernel space saving copies and call between kernel user back to the kernel.8. Explain How You Can Improve The Throughput Of A Remote Consumer?
If the consumer is located in a different data center from the broker, you may require to tune the socket buffer size to amortize the long network latency.9. Explain How You Can Get Exactly Once Messaging From Kafka During Data Production?
During data, production to get exactly once messaging from Kafka you have to follow two things avoiding duplicates during data consumption and avoiding duplication during data production. Here are the two ways to get exactly one semantics while data production: Avail a single writer per partition, every time you get a network error checks the last message in that partition to see if your last write succeeded. In the message include a primary key (UUID or something) and de-duplicate on the consumer.10. Explain How You Can Reduce Churn In Isr? When Does Broker Leave The Isr?
ISR is a set of message replicas that are completely synced up with the leaders, in other word ISR has all messages that are committed. ISR should always include all replicas until there is a real failure. A replica will be dropped out of ISR if it deviates from the leader.11. Why Replication Is Required In Kafka?
Replication of message in Kafka ensures that any published message does not lose and can be consumed in case of machine error, program error or more common software upgrades.12. What Does It Indicate If Replica Stays Out Of Isr For A Long Time? If a replica remains out of ISR for an extended time, it indicates that the follower is unable to fetch data as fast as data accumulated at the leader. 13. Mention What Happens If The Preferred Replica Is Not In The Isr? If the preferred replica is not in the ISR, the controller will fail to move leadership to the preferred replica. 14. Is It Possible To Get The Message Offset After Producing?
You cannot do that from a class that behaves as a producer like in most queue systems, its role is to fire and forget the messages. The broker will do the rest of the work like appropriate metadata handling with id's, offsets, etc. As a consumer of the message, you can get the offset from a Kafka broker. If you gaze in the Simple Consumer class, you will notice it fetches Multi Fetch Response objects that include offsets as a list. In addition to that, when you iterate the Kafka Message, you will have Message And Offset objects that include both, the offset and the message sent.15. Which Components Are Used For Stream Flow Of Data?
Bolt:- Bolts represent the processing logic unit in Storm. One can utilize bolts to do any kind of processing such as filtering, aggregating, joining, interacting with data stores, talking to external systems etc. Bolts can also emit tuples (data messages) for the subsequent bolts to process. Additionally, bolts are responsible to acknowledge the processing of tuples after they are done processing. Spout:- Spouts represent the source of data in Storm. You can write spouts to read data from data sources such as database, distributed file systems, messaging frameworks etc. Spouts can broadly be classified into following – Reliable:- These spouts have the capability to replay the tuples (a unit of data in data stream). This helps applications achieve 'at least once message processing' semantic as in case of failures, tuples can be replayed and processed again. Spouts for fetching the data from messaging frameworks are generally reliable as these frameworks provide the mechanism to replay the messages. Unreliable:- These spouts don't have the capability to replay the tuples. Once a tuple is emitted, it cannot be replayed irrespective of whether it was processed successfully or not. This type of spouts follow 'at most once message processing' semantic. Tuple:- The tuple is the main data structure in Storm. A tuple is a named list of values, where each value can be any type. Tuples are dynamically typed — the types of the fields do not need to be declared. Tuples have helper methods like getInteger and getString to get field values without having to cast the result. Storm needs to know how to serialize all the values in a tuple. By default, Storm knows how to serialize the primitive types, strings, and byte arrays. If you want to use another type, you'll need to implement and register a serializer for that type.16. What Are The Key Benefits Of Using Storm For Real Time Processing?
Easy to operate: Operating storm is quiet easy. Real fast: It can process 100 messages per second per node.Fault Tolerant: It detects the fault automatically and re-starts the functional attributes. Reliable: It guarantees that each unit of data will be executed at least once or exactly once Scalable: It runs across a cluster of machine.17. Does Apache Act As A Proxy Server?
Yes, It acts as proxy also by using the mod_proxy module. This module implements a proxy, gateway or cache for Apache. It implements proxying capability for AJP13 (Apache JServ Protocol version 1.3), FTP, CONNECT (for SSL),HTTP/0.9, HTTP/1.0, and (since Apache 1.3.23) HTTP/1.1. The module can be configured to connect to other proxy modules for these and other protocols.18. While Installing, Why Does Apache Have Three Config Files - Srm.conf, Access.conf And Httpd.conf?
The first two are remnants from the NCSA times, and generally you should be ok if you delete the first two, and stick with httpd.conf.19. What Is Zeromq?
ZeroMQ is "a library which extends the standard socket interfaces with features traditionally provided by specialized messaging middleware products". Storm relies on ZeroMQ primarily for task-to-task communication in running Storm topologies.20. How Many Distinct Layers Are Of Storm's Codebase?
There are three distinct layers to Storm's codebase. First, Storm was designed from the very beginning to be compatible with multiple languages. Nimbus is a Thrift service and topologies are defined as Thrift structures. The usage of Thrift allows Storm to be used from any language. Second, all of Storm's interfaces are specified as Java interfaces. So even though there's a lot of Clojure in Storm's implementation, all usage must go through the Java API. This means that every feature of Storm is always available via Java. Third, Storm's implementation is largely in Clojure. Line-wise, Storm is about half Java code, half Clojure code. But Clojure is much more expressive, so in reality the great majority of the implementation logic is in Clojure.21. When Do You Call The Cleanup Method?
The cleanup method is called when a Bolt is being shutdown and should cleanup any resources that were opened. There's no guarantee that this method will be called on the cluster: For instance, if the machine the task is running on blows up, there's no way to invoke the method. The cleanup method is intended when you run topologies in local mode (where a Storm cluster is simulated in process), and you want to be able to run and kill many topologies without suffering any resource leaks.22. How Can We Kill A Topology?
To kill a topology, simply run: storm kill {stormname} Give the same name to storm kill as you used when submitting the topology. Storm won't kill the topology immediately. Instead, it deactivates all the spouts so that they don't emit any more tuples, and then Storm waits Config.TOPOLOGY_MESSAGE_TIMEOUT_SECS seconds before destroying all the workers. This gives the topology enough time to complete any tuples it was processing when it got killed.23. What Is Combiner Aggregator? A Combiner Aggregator is used to combine a set of tuples into a single field. It has the following signature: public interface CombinerAggregator { T init (TridentTuple tuple); T combine(T val1, T val2); T zero(); } Storm calls the init() method with each tuple, and then repeatedly calls the combine()method until the partition is processed. The values passed into the combine() method are partial aggregations, the result of combining the values returned by calls to init(). 24. Is It Necessary To Kill The Topology While Updating The Running Topology?
Yes, to update a running topology, the only option currently is to kill the current topology and resubmit a new one. A planned feature is to implement a Storm swap command that swaps a running topology with a new one, ensuring minimal downtime and no chance of both topologies processing tuples at the same time.25. Explain How To Write The Output Into A File Using Storm?
In Spout, when you are reading file, make FileReader object in Open() method, as such that time it initializes the reader object for worker node. And use that object in nextTuple() method.26. Mention What Is The Difference Between Apache Kafka And Apache Storm?
Apach Kafeka: It is a distributed and robust messaging system that can handle huge amount of data and allows passage of messages from one end-point to another. Apache Storm: It is a real time message processing system, and you can edit or manipulate data in real time. Apache storm pulls the data from Kafka and applies some required manipulation.27. Explain When Using Field Grouping In Storm, Is There Any Time-out Or Limit To Known Field Values?
Field grouping in storm uses a mod hash function to decide which task to send a tuple, ensuring which task will be processed in the correct order. For that, you don't require any cache. So, there is no time-out or limit to known field values.28. In Which Folder Are Java Applications Stored In Apache? Java applications are not stored in Apache, it can be only connected to a other Java webapp hosting webserver using the mod_jk connector. 29. What Is Mod_vhost_alias?
This module creates dynamically configured virtual hosts, by allowing the IP address and/or the Host: header of the HTTP request to be used as part of the pathname to determine what files to serve. This allows for easy use of a huge number of virtual hosts with similar configurations.30. What Is Struct And Explain Its Purpose? A struts is a open source framework for creating a Java web applications. 31. List The Various Components In Kafka?
The four major components of Kafka are: Topic – a stream of messages belonging to the same type. Producer – that can publish messages to a topic. Brokers – a set of servers where the publishes messages are stored. Consumer – that subscribes to various topics and pulls data from the brokers.32. Explain The Role Of The Offset?
Messages contained in the partitions are assigned a unique ID number that is called the offset. The role of the offset is to uniquely identify every message within the partition.33. Explain The Concept Of Leader And Follower?
Every partition in Kafka has one server which plays the role of a Leader, and none or more servers that act as Followers. The Leader performs the task of all read and write requests for the partition, while the role of the Followers is to passively replicate the leader. In the event of the Leader failing, one of the Followers will take on the role of the Leader. This ensures load balancing of the server.34. How Do You Define A Partitioning Key?
Within the Producer, the role of a Partitioning Key is to indicate the destination partition of the message. By default, a hashing-based Partitioner is used to determine the partition ID given the key. Alternatively, users can also use customized Partitions.35. In The Producer, When Does Queue full exception Occur?
Queue Full Exception typically occurs when the Producer attempts to send messages at a pace that the Broker cannot handle. Since the Producer doesn't block, users will need to add enough brokers to collaboratively handle the increased load.36. Explain The Role Of The Kafka Producer Api.
The role of Kafka's Producer API is to wrap the two producers – kafka.producer.SyncProducer and the kafka.producer.async.AsyncProducer. The goal is to expose all the producer functionality through a single API to the client.37. What is Kafka? Kafka is a message divider project coded in Scala. Kafka is originally developed by LinkedIn and developed as an open sourced in early 2011. The purpose of the project is to achieve the best stand for conducting the real-time statistics nourishment. 38. Why do you think the replications are dangerous in Kafka? Duplication assures that issued messages which are available are absorbed in the case of any appliance mistake, plan fault or recurrent software promotions. 39. What major role a Kafka Producer API plays? It is responsible for covering the two producers- kafka.producer.SyncProducer and the kafka.producer.async.AsyncProducer. The main aim is to disclose all the producer performance through a single API to the clients. 40. Distinguish between the Kafka and Flume?
Flume's major use-case is to gulp down the data into Hadoop. The Flume is incorporated with the Hadoop's monitoring system, file formats, file system and utilities such as Morphlines. Flume's design of sinks, sources and channels mean that with the aid of Flume one can shift data among other systems lithely, but the main feature is its Hadoop integration. The Flume is the best option used when you have non-relational data sources if you have a long file to stream into the Hadoop.Kafka's major use-case is a distributed publish- subscribe messaging system. Kafka is not developed specifically for Hadoop and using Kafka to read and write data to Hadoop is considerably trickier than it is in Flume. Kafka can be used when you particularly need a highly reliable and scalable enterprise messaging system to connect many multiple systems like Hadoop.41. Describe partitioning key? Its role is to specify the target divider of the memo, within the producer. Usually, a hash-oriented divider concludes the divider ID according to the given factors. Consumers also use the tailored Partitions. 42. Inside the manufacturer, when does the QueueFullException emerge?
QueueFullException naturally happens when the manufacturer tries to propel communications at a speed which Broker can't grip. Consumers need to insert sufficient brokers to collectively grip the amplified load since the Producer doesn't block.43. Can Kafka be utilized without Zookeeper?
It is impossible to use Kafka without Zookeeper because it is not feasible to go around Zookeeper and attach in a straight line to the server. If the Zookeeper is down for a number of causes, then we will not be able to serve any customer demand.44. Elaborate Kafka architecture.
A cluster contains multiple brokers since it is a distributed system. Topic in the system will get divided into multiple partitions and each broker store one or more of those partitions so that multiple producers and consumers can publish and retrieve messages at the same time.45. How to start a Kafka server?
Given that Kafka exercises Zookeeper, we have to start the Zookeeper's server. One can use the convince script packaged with Kafka to get a crude but effective single node Zookeeper instance> bin/zookeeper-server-start.shconfig/zookeeper.propertiesNow the Kafka server can start> bin/Kafka-server-start.shconfig/server.properties46. What are consumers or users?
Kafka provides single consumer abstractions that discover both queuing and publish-subscribe Consumer Group. They tag themselves with a user group and every communication available on a topic is distributed to one user case within every promising user group. User instances are in disconnected process. We can determine the messaging model of the consumer based on the consumer groups. If all consumer instances have the same consumer set, then this works like a conventional queue adjusting load over the consumers. If all customer instances have dissimilar consumer groups, then this works like a publish-subscribe and all messages are transmitted to all the consumers.47. Describe an Offset?
The messages in the partitions will be given a sequential ID number known as an offset, the offset will be used to identify each message in the partition uniquely. With the aid of Zookeeper Kafka stores the offsets of messages consumed for a specific topic and partition by this consumer group.48. What do you know about partitioning key?
A partition key can be precise to point to the aimed division of a communication, in Kafka producer. Usually, a hash-oriented divider concludes the division id with the input and people uses modified divisions also.49. Why is Kafka technology significant to use?
Kafka being distributed publish-subscribe system has the advantages as below.Fast: Kafka comprises of a broker and a single broker can serve thousands of clients by handling megabytes of reads and writes per second.Scalable: facts are partitioned and streamlined over a cluster of machines to enable large informationDurable: Messages are persistent and is replicated in the cluster to prevent record loss Distributed by Design: It provides fault tolerance guarantees and robust.50. Explain How Message Is Consumed By Consumer In Kafka?
Transfer of messages in Kafka is done by using send file API. It enables the transfer of bytes from the socket to disk via kernel space saving copies and call between kernel user back to the kernel.

Bryce Harper became the first player in the history of the Washington Nationals/Montreal Expos to win the National League MVP award.
The Baseball Writers' Association of America unanimously awarded the 23-year-old 30 first-place votes despite Washington finishing the season in second place and falling short of the playoffs.
Paul Goldschmidt, Joey Votto, Anthony Rizzo, Andrew McCutcheon, Jake Arrieta, and Zack Greinke all received second-place votes.
Harper hit 42 home runs, scored 118 runs, registered a .460 on-base percentage, and boasted a .649 slugging percentage. No NL player performed better in any of those categories.
The former Rookie of the Year, competing at 22 throughout the 2015 season, actually trailed this season's NL Rookie of the Year winner Kris Benson in age. He becomes the third youngest MVP in National League history, winning the award at a slightly more advanced age than Stan Musial and Johnny Bench.
"I enjoy playing baseball out there," Harper explained. "I enjoy putting MLB on the map and doing everything I can to further this game for young talent across the world. This game is just getting better and better with the talent and everything that's happening in the game right now. It's very exciting for the fans, very exciting for everybody that plays."

This is one of my secret weapons for gut health. It's easy to make and everyone loves it!
Raw apples can be problematic for some people with digestive issues or have a sensitive gut. Stewed apples, however, are a very different story as they are much easier to digest and provide essential nutrients for gut healing.
The phenolic compounds in the apples (as well as the cinnamon!) work to decrease inflammation in the gut and fight unwanted pathogens.
The pectin in the apples is a prebiotic, which means it is food for the good bacteria in the colon. The bacteria convert this food to small chain fatty acids (SCFA), which help to maintain the health of the gut bacteria as well as the gut lining.

"If its funny you don't have to be funny doing it". An opportunity to work with Danny Mulherin on what he has learnt and unlearnt directing comedies for the stage and screen. Danny will be working with the attendees on scenes showing his approach to bringing out the best of the actor. Attendees should be prepared to be active participants.
Bio of host:Danny Mulheron is a hard man to tie down. Though his career as actor/writer/director is laced with every kind of comedy from drug-addicted puppets he created with Peter Jackson to old school teachers (Mr Gormsby), he has also been known to keep a straight face. Mulheron has directed award winning television dramas, documentaries and smash hit theatre productions.His career began as a child actor on a long running soap Close to Home and after graduating from drama school in the late1980's, Mulheron played parts in various New Zealand movies as well as writing, acting and directing in numerous TV and theatre productions. In 1989 Mulheron joined director Peter Jackson's writing team. Jackson had three fevered weeks to expand Meet the Feebles, a short film about dysfunctional puppets, into a full-length script. The Feebles movie saw Mulheron sweating buckets inside a foam suit, as he played prima donna hippo Heidi. In the process Mulheron won an acting award from an Italian fantasy film festival, and a nomination for best male performance at the 1990 NZ Film and Television Awards. Mulheron moved to Los Angeles, contracted by New Line Cinema to collaborate with Peter Jackson on a Nightmare on Elm St sequel. The collaboration continued with Jackson, this time with Wingnut Films on a Monty Python style fantasy Blubberhead. Mulheron also spent time in Hollywood, working on a puppet television show for Fox television. Between his adventures in Jacksonville and Hollywood, Mulheron began working on the first of many comedy sketch shows for Wellington production company Gibson Group. In 1993 he began writing, acting and directing sketch comedy for award winning Skitz. This included core cast member Jemaine Clement, who would later form Flight of the Conchords.Mulheron followed Skitz with a varied range of directing assignments. This included two series of Roger Hall's Market Forces, which made him a finalist for Best Comedy Director in the 1999 Film and TV Awards. In the same awards he had two out of three nominations for Best Comedy Director with The Semisis giving him the other nomination. For the next couple of years, Mulheron's screen directing swung away from comedy. He helmed many episodes of The Strip, a tale of a woman, her relationships and her strip club; plus episodes of kidult success The Tribe and short-lived follow-up Atlantis High. In 2004 Gormsby was reborn. Seven Periods with Mr Gormsby was based on a one-man show Mulheron had performed on stage in previous years. Working with Tom Scott and long time colleague Dave Armstrong, Mulheron set about creating a tale of a racist, sexist teacher from another era, who challenges the norms at a low decile school. With Mulheron concentrating on directing, the role of Gormsby went to David Mcphail. The show was a Finalist for best script and best comedy in the 2006 NZ Screen Awards. In Australia the show aired on the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation). Since directing Gormsby, Mulheron has presented car series AA Torque Show, and directed tele-movie Eruption - which includes scenes of a volcano erupting in Auckland harbour - plus episodes of award-nominated drama The Hothouse, for which Danny was a finalist for Best Director Drama in the 2007 Qantas Film and Television Awards. In 2008 he and partner-wife Sara Stretton co-directed feature-length documentary The Third Richard, which examines the life of Mulheron's late grandfather Richard Fuchs, a Jewish composer whose music was banned by the Nazis. Later Mulheron flew to Raratonga to direct Paradise Café, a kidult tale of ghosts and banana smoothies made for the BBC. The two series were one of the highest rating childrens' TV programmes in Britain for 2009. In 2011 he helmed well-received tele-movie Rage. Set during the them-and-us days of the 1981 Springbok tour, Rage revolves around the relationship between a student protestor, and a Māori policewoman working undercover. The movie was a finalist in seven categories of the 2012 Television and Film Awards, Mulheron a finalist as Best Director Drama/Comedy. In 2012 Mulheron directed a comedy-horror tale about a gang of criminals who take a Maori family hostage, only to discover that cannibalism runs in the family. Fresh Meat includes Temuera Morrison and Kate Elliott. In 2013 it had five screenings in the Tribeca Film Festival in New York and was beamed out to over 50,000 households in North America, Britain and Europe. The Kick followed in 2014, a Television movie for TVNZ and in 2015 Hillary was filmed. This was a six episode drama series for TVNZ about the life of mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary. 2016 brought "Why Does Love" a television movie for TVNZ, the story of the rock band Dance Exponents. This will be aired later in 2017.

Yoga lets you get out of your head and into your body. I mean OUT of your head! I did a yoga class recently and the instructor talked about how sometimes being in your own head is dangerous neighborhood to be in! Oh how I loved this thought. I loved it because,
HOWEVER, I hope this is not always true. I hope that most of the time you are content being with yourself. I hope that it is only sometimes true. It is certainly sometimes true in my brain! Sometimes I am not the person I want to have a conversation with if you know what I mean. Getting out of your brain and into your body is one of the most healthy things you can do for yourself to actually help you process the thoughts that you stop thinking during your practice. Leave your thoughts at the door, they will still be there for you to pick up after your practice.
Recognizing that your head is a bad neighborhood to be in is the first step. Doing what you need to do to get out of that neighborhood is next step and it is the action of doing that makes you healthy!

Background: The Big Brum World War One Project, 'The End of Reason 1914-1918'
In 2014 Big Brum began an ambitious five year project, 'The End of Reason' to create, produce and tour five plays and Theatre in Education programmes between 2014-2018, exploring aspects of the war years from 1914-1918, and especially to focus on the stories of ordinary men and women forever changed by their roles in the 'war to end all wars'. The plays and Theatre in Education learning programmes would be aimed primarily at children and young people aged 9 to 14, Years 5 to 9, upper primary school pupils and lower school secondary students.
In the autumn of 2014 Big Brum toured 'Home Front Front Line' and in the summer of 2015 'Sepoy's Salute' , both written by the then artistic director of Big Brum, Chris Cooper. Both tours received outstanding feedback for their authenticity and impact on the children and young people who saw the plays and participated in the workshops.

Home Front Front Line' explored the outbreak of war and the fate of young men in Pal's Battalions who happily took the King's Shilling and began military service with no idea of the mass slaughter that would soon follow. 'Sepoy's Salute' told the story of an Indian Muslim from the Punjab fighting for the British Indian Army in the forests of Northern France.

Carcassonne - Tuesday
James is up to mischief (as usual)
The restaurant l'Ostal where we had dinner
We arrived in Carcassonne from London and were totally blown away by the medieval city and then spent a few days travelling up to the Lot and Dordogne departments. On the first night in Carcassonne we found this restaurant that looked as old as the city itself. It was here, over dinner that we first explored the idea of spending a year in France at some distant time in the future.
The idea obviously took hold and so it was a nostalgic (and proud) moment to be able to go back to the same restaurant with the three boys to celebrate the achievement of turning this idea into a reality. The restaurant itself is nothing special.. it was just really really old and hadn't changed in 10 years (or probably 100), even the menus looked the same.
It is just as well that we left our Carcassonne adventure to the end of the year... all other castles and sites (even Beynac) would pale in comparison to this grand old city. You can easily spend a day wandering through the old city and around the outer walls.. The tour through the Chateau was really impressive, the complex is huge and then you get to walk all the way around the top inner wall back to the east gate. The whole Carcassonne experience is ridiculously cheap: of course it costs nothing to wander through the old city. The entrance to the castle is €7.5 for an adult and kids are free (viva la France)!
The accommodation was not bad for €100 a night and a short car journey from the old city. We had a good look around the city and outer walls on Tuesday afternoon. After dinner at restaurant l'Ostal we had another wander around the walls admiring how they had all been lit up at night. It had been a long day and a very tired bunch hit the sack early as tomorrow we planned to tour the Chateau.
I want Candy
Yeah.. this is want we all want.. on tap 24x7 at a store near you.
Not that far away.. Carcassonne to be exact. Just hop on a plane, fly to France, catch the TGV to Toulouse, change to a local service. CARCASSONE.
Taxi to old city.. enter through east gate (it is the only one). You can't miss it.
Or here it is in high definition:

Compose a Card with Becky -Challenge 3
I am participating in the challenge that you can find HERE at Becky's blog. It was difficult to work with this color scheme but I do like how it turned out. Really out of my comfort zone. Even though there were specific requirements like white embossed flower on Raspberry Fizz and a flourish stamped on Terracotta Tile, it still took me almost 2 hours to complete this. The flourish really is there ~ guess it didn't photograph well. You can see it if you click on the photo for a larger image. First I experimented with several different flowers until I got one I liked. Then the process of cutting out the flower and leaves. I did enjoy the time crafting though.
Supplies: PTI (unless otherwise noted) Raspberry Fizz Mix, Spring Rain Bitty Box Basics, Everyday Blessings and Raspberry Fizz Bitty Dot Basics patterned paper, Terra Cotta Tile cardstock
Stamp Sets: Friends 'til the End, Fancy Flourishes & Signature Greetings
INK: Versamark, True Black and Tim Holtz Old Paper distress ink (for edges)
embellies: SU! white embossing powder, rhinestones, EK Success border punch, distressing tool

Broadway Museum and Art Gallery
The Broadway Museum and Art Gallery, formerly the Ashmolean Museum Broadway, is a community museum that explores the history of the town and tells the story of its success through the wool trade and the popularity of the town with travellers and artists.
The unique collection includes paintings, porcelain and artefacts curated by the Ashmolean in Oxford, and the furniture was selected from the Keil's Antiques Collection. In addition to the permanent collection, the museum has special touring exhibitions of works loaned from the Ashmolean.
Karen Bloch curated the recently added Artist Colony display. This exhibition, developed in partnership with the Broadway Arts Festival, explores the beautiful artworks, which were painted in Broadway and the artists who were inspired by the beauty of the town and its surrounding countryside.
The museum is located within Tudor House, which was built in the 17th century as a coaching inn to serve the Ludlow to London route. The building has been extended and adapted over the years but retains original features and architectural flourishes reflecting trends of the passing eras. The house has been both a farmstead and a private residence and was for 80 years, the headquarters for H.W Keil Ltd, one of the leading dealers in antique furniture in the world.
Broadway Museum and Art Gallery opened in 2013 following a close partnership with Worcestershire County Council, other local organisations, and the Keil family, to transform an historic building in a beautiful Cotswold village into an independent museum. The museum shop, which you do not need to pay to enter, is also a great place to browse for gifts as well as being a good source of books on art and local history. In the courtyard entrance area there is also a secondhand bookshop – all proceeds from sales go back into improving the museum.
Visitors to the museum, who are UK tax-payers, can make a one-off donation of £5 on entry to then gain free entrance to the museum for 12 months. Under the gift aid scheme the donation of £5 means the Broadway Museum and Art Gallery receives £6.25 (25p for every £1 donated). If you pay tax at a higher than the basic rate you can reclaim the difference in your donation in your annual HMRC tax return. If you do not pay UK tax or do not pay sufficient tax to cover the donation value, then the standard entrance fee costs you exactly the same.
Opening Times:
February - October (before daylight saving ends).
Monday to Sunday 10.00-5.00 (last entry 4.30).
October (after daylight saving ends) - December.
Monday to Sunday 10.00-4.00 (last entry 3.30).
Open Bank Holidays.
Winter closure: We close to update our exhibitions and add new material from the 19th December to the second Saturday in February when we reopen for the new year.

In the author's mind, Isaiah's words in the alleged Isaiah 9:10 Effect actually cause things to happen. This is clearly affirmed in the following exchange at the end of chapter 16:
[The Prophet] ...In this mystery the connections are evcn more beyond the realm of the natural. ... [Kaplan] And they connect 9/11 to the economic collapse? [The Prophet] Not only do they connect them ... they determined them ... down to the time each would take place .... Yes, an ancient mystery upon which the global economy and every transaction within it was determined, a mystery that begins more than three thousand years ago in the sands of a Middle Eastern desert. {Sorry, I can't figure out the new Blogger formatting}Now, I know what is meant by this, and I think most people reading the book don't have a problem with it, but if you are of a certain critical mindset I suppose you could get hung up on the word "determined" and think it SEEMS to be saying that the words of Isaiah 9:10 are MAKING something happen.
Jonathan Cahn seems to have certain habits of mind that are unique to himself and may rattle some people who have different habits of mind. It's just the way he thinks, and he writes his book the way he thinks. He is apparently fascinated with the fact that scripture is supernatural, that it contains mysteries that no one would have known had it not been written straight from the mind of God, that it relates across three thousand years of time in a supernatural way, reaching into the future and judging our own time just as pertinently as it judges the time in which it was written.
Perhaps this comes mostly out of his Messianic frame of reference. He seems to delight in the Jewishness of the scriptures the way many Messianics I've known do, and he extends that delight into all the Jewish writings, enjoying digging out their own unwitting affirmations of the truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ, mysteries of God's truth being revealed even in the context of writings that reject Jesus Christ. This is how he uses the Zohar for instance, not as a mystical tool but as a revealer of the gospel. All of it serves the gospel of Christ and that is his purpose in making use of these other writings.
But his habits of thought may cause a problem for some who let their own unfamiliarity with his style lead them into unfair judgment of it. David James for instance, later on in his book, lists some of the titles of Cahn's sermons from his website, particularly picking out those with "mystery" in the title or description, or extrabiblical references of various kinds, and gives the very stern warning:
The titles and descriptions of just a few of his messages should serve as a warning to any serious student of the Scriptures [p. 193].Certainly makes one stop and shudder for a moment. But there are hints even in the titles he lists that it is biblical truth, the gospel itself, that is the central concern in all these sermons. Apparently James hasn't heard any of them and is allowing himself to draw conclusions from the titles and bare descriptions alone in the context of his own presuppositions. I haven't heard any of the sermons either, but I know already from a previous discussion of how Cahn uses the Zohar that his aim is most likely to be to bring out BIBLICAL truth from these extrabiblical sources.
And there's nothing unusual about that aim, especially in the Messianic Jewish context. We should all be familiar for starters with the many studies of the Types in scripture that reveal gospel truths -- let's call them gospel "mysteries" to show how Cahn is using that word -- the picture of Jesus Christ that is to be found in the scriptural description of the plan of the tabernacle for instance. The Old Testament is full of such types and the New Testament reveals them fulfilled in Christ.
The Messianic movement has added to these scriptural "mysteries" the pictures of Christ in the Jewish Holy Days as practiced by today's UNbelieving Jews -- in the Passover meal for instance. I suspect this is really all Jonathan Cahn is doing with the other extrabiblical writings mentioned in the list of his sermons, showing how they point to Christ in spite of themselves.
Again, most readers have no problem with Cahn's style, but the critics are stubbing their toes on every slightly unusual wording and instead of doubting their own understanding they're getting carried away into unjustifiable excesses of condemnation.
So David James finds serious problems with The Isaiah 9:10 Effect that come out of his own preconceptions and distort the meaning intended by Cahn.
... even if he were discussing only the fulfillment of Isaiah 9:10 in ancient Israelk, this would not be a good way to explain how prophecies work. The reason that prophesied events happen is ecause God caues them to happen, not because the prophecy itself somehow Yet Cahn seems to be suggesting that as a principle the Isaiah 9:10 Effect can cause these same events to happen anywhere at any time once it is triggered. [p. 129].As I've already discussed, this is an absurd misreading of the concept. The Isaiah 9:10 Effect is nothing more than the content of the verse, which describes Israel's defiance of God's judgment in the Assyrian attack, being the obvious cause of the further judgment to come, as described in the very next verse. Ignore God's warning, expect further judgment.
David James himself even seems to suspect this is what it means when he goes on to say
Of course, if it were simply a general principle such as that of 'sowing and reaping' or like the many principles found in Proverbs, it wouldn't necessarily be as problematic. Even this would disregard the fact that Isaiah 9:10 does not appear to be a principle in context.Well, it does amount to a general principle such as "sowing and reaping" as I've argued in the previous post, because it gives the CONDITION for further judgment to come, the defiance of God's warning judgment in the Assyrian attack, so that God's hand is "stretched out still" meaning further judgment must come because of their defiance. Defy God's warning, more judgment will come. THAT's The Isaiah 9:10 Effect. It's obvious to most of us, it SHOULD be obvious to David James and the other critics, who instead are letting Cahn's somewhat unusual wording hang them up. Instead of judging their own misreading the critics harshly judge Cahn for what is really their own error.
Their assumptions lead them to crazy-making rejection of Cahn's own attempts to correct them:
As noted before Cahn strenuously argues that he has been misunderstood by those who believe he is saying that Isaiah 9:10 specifically applies to America.Cahn has over and over tried to explain that this IS a misunderstanding, and over and over the critics deny him the right to speak for himself. Reminds me of the Inquisition where there's no way to be innocent once they've decided you're guilty. Even "strenuously" defending yourself can't allay this entrenched suspiciousness. Everything you say on your own behalf only confirms your guilt and the more "strenuously" you say it the guiltier you are. Is this the way Christians should deal with other Christians? Whatever happened to benefit of the doubt, to extending grace?
However, if that is not what he is saying, then the only other possible explanation is that the Isaiah 9:10 Effect is an independent and formulaic principle that operates in a mystical way through the power of the words themselves.One could almost admire the jesuitical cleverness of this logic -- if you can't get 'em one way you'll get 'em the other. Oh I'm sure James is quite sincere, however, and believes what he is saying. I don't know if that makes it better or worse.
Please, Mr. James, consider that it is NEITHER that Isaiah 9:10 specifically applies to America in the sense that it was written TO America at the time of Isaiah, NOR that there is some kind of mystical power of words involved. It is quite simply and biblically that Isaiah 9:10 describes the attitude of defiance that INEXORABLY LEADS TO further judgment by God, as expressed in the very next verse, as "His hand is stretched out still," AND that it applies to America because it describes America's attitude just as it describes Israel's. There is nothing mystical about this, it's standard application of the biblical text. It describes America EVEN WITHOUT the harbingers, but the harbingers, those uncanny appearances of the very literal elements of Isaiah 9:10 in America, nail it down with a special emphasis that OUGHT to cause the most sceptical to snap to attention.
So yes, certain things MUST happen as a result of this defiance, all in keeping with what we all SHOULD know about what God has said about blessing for obedience and punishing for disobedience. As I said before, scripture is saturated with this BIBLICAL principle.
And there's more yet. Sigh.

Trust and the 'Platform Economy' – Part 3
Posted on 23rd May 2017
Welcome to the Business Empathy Forum and thank you for your visit. In this post I wrap up my discussion of on-line platforms and make several predictions about their eventual impact on trust and empathy in business.
What Does The Model Mean for Trust in Business?
In an earlier post I briefly described these digital platforms and mentioned four distinct types that have emerged: data platforms that gather and analyze data and then offer the results to other companies; e-commerce sites like Amazon, eBay, Uber and Airbnb; platforms based on operating systems such as Android, Windows and iOS; and the ubiquitous social networks like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and WeChat in China.
I also cited a column from 'The Economist' that describes the substantial economic advantages the large platforms have accrued over smaller competitors: "These modern platforms have three things in common. They are 'multi-sided', meaning they have more than one group of customers. They exhibit strong 'network effects': a growing group of one sort of customer attracts more of the other, which again draws in more of the first and so on. And they are controlled by one company, which can dictate the terms of trade, such as what type of businesses are allowed on its digital property and what they have to pay for the privilege."
Probing deeper into the concepts mentioned in the quote, I described 'network effect' as the idea that the more people use a particular good or service, the more valuable it becomes. Two evident examples would be Amazon and Facebook, which continue to grow rapidly. I also sought to present a simple definition of 'digital property' and explained that it is often broken down into three sub-categories: personal digital property, personal digital property with monetary value, and digital business property (my italics).
This concept of digital business property is of great interest, particularly with regard to the quote from 'The Economist', that "… they (the platforms) are controlled by one company, which can dictate the terms of trade, such as what type of businesses are allowed on its digital property and what they have to pay for the privilege." It would seem that the explosive expansion of on-line commerce and digital business property – and within that the burgeoning importance of the largest platforms – has conferred upon these 'digital landlords' considerable economic leverage, to the extent that they can 'dictate' the rules and rents.
What does this growing system of powerful on-line platforms imply for trust and empathy in business? I will hazard three predictions: first, on-line platforms will continue to grow in commercial importance and market power. Second, the relationships of digital 'tenants' with their digital 'landlords' will be almost purely transactional; contracts will play a central role. And third, clever businesspeople and astute enterprises will continue to leverage trust and empathy as important differentiators, winning by staying human in a digital age.
Good luck, and until next time…

So I've started this blog to track my journey as I move ever more into minimalist living. I wanted my own blog, both for my own personal reflection ,but also so that I can share with others how it feels to simply and minimalise every area of my life.
I've been fascinating with a simpler life for a couple of years now, and in the last six months I have hit upon minimalism, which I have fallen in love with.
Our world is so full of stuff; virtual, physical, emotional and spiritual and I think we can often feel cluttered, claustrophobic and overwhelmed by the sheer volume of 'stuff' we collect in life. This can be anything from an overstuffed wardrobe, to an out of date newspaper pile, to tonnes of Facebook notifications, to emails blocking up the inbox on random subjects.
But where do we start? It can seem like a losing battle, and isn't it easier just to shut the door, and forget it exists?
I find I can't. Even with the door shut, that wardrobe full; some things I love, some I don't wear, some that don't fit (OK a lot that don't fit), things that are seasonable, still gets into my head. That inbox is still full, and takes valuable space in my head.
So I decided to dedicate myself to minimalism or #minimalistliving as I call it. It encompasses every area of my life. In this blog I will talk you through how I've done it. How i'm doing it. The challenges I have, how I feel about it, and what I have yet to tackle.
Hope you will join me on the journey, and share your thoughts, ideas , tips and struggles so we can travel together

Postgame Quotes | Postgame Press Conference (Video)
DETROIT- The 15th seeded Cal State Fullerton Titans gave second-seeded Purdue all it could handle, as it flirted with one of the biggest upsets in college basketball history through one half of play, but in the end the Boilermakers topped the Titans 74-48 in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament, Friday afternoon inside Little Caesars Arena.
For Fullerton (20-12), the loss puts an end to one of the best seasons in program history, as the Titans racked up 20 wins for just the seventh time in school history and made their third trip to the Big Dance. Fullerton has qualified for the NCAA Tournament in 2018, 2008 and 1978. The 20 victories were the most since the Titans captured 21 wins during the 2011-12 campaign.
Kyle Allman was phenomenal in his NCAA Tournament debut, as he led all scorers with 21 points on 8-of-16 shooting from the field. He also grabbed a team-high equaling five boards and dished out two assists.
Allman scored 20+ points 17 times this season, including in seven of the last nine games to end the year. The Brooklyn native scored in double figures in 28 of 32 games in 2017-18.
Jackson Rowe also recorded double-figure points, as he went an efficient 3-of-5 from the field. Arkim Robertson also chipped in with a team-high tying five boards. Jamal Smith recorded a team-best two blocks.
The Titans' first half defense was stifling, as they held the Boilermakers to just 33 percent shooting from the floor, as they converted on just 10-of-30 shots from the field. Despite Purdue's overwhelming size advantage, Fullerton only lost the points in the paint battle 24-18.
.@FullertonHoops with the DENIAL! ��#MarchMadness pic.twitter.com/9QrkcHnvJT— NCAA March Madness (@marchmadness) March 16, 2018
Fullerton and Purdue were never separated by more than 10 points in the first half, while the Titans kept it within single digits most of the period. In fact, the Titans even grabbed a 12-11 lead with 10:20 remaining in the half.
The Titans put together a spirited effort, as Allman opened the scoring with a triple from the top of the key to make it a 6-3 deficit with 17:34 left in the opening half.
From that point, Fullerton kept the contest within four points or less all the way through the 9:02 mark of the first half. After the Titans grabbed their lead at the 10:20 mark, Purdue launched a 9-0 run to make it a 20-12 deficit with 6:09 remaining in the half.
However, as the Titans had done all season long, they failed to give in and they put together an 8-2 run themselves to make it just a 22-20 deficit with 3:09 remaining thanks to multiple buckets by Kyle Allman and Jackson Rowe.
Purdue went into halftime with a 30-21 advantage with the Titans very much in the game.
Unfortunately for Fullerton, Purdue opened the second half scoring and never looked back. The Boilermakers improved their shooting percentage to 44 percent in the period and held a double-digit lead throughout.
