WePay talks with Confluent about Apache Kafka
WePay's infrastructure relies on a great deal of robust engineering to support the huge number of transactions we process every hour. Part of that infrastructure is based on open source frameworks. When WePay uses a framework like this it also contributes heavily to that open source community. An example is Apache Kafka®, an open-source event streaming processing platform capable of handling trillions of real-time data events a day and developed by LinkedIn.
Recently, Chris Riccomini, a Distinguished Engineer at WePay, spoke with Tim Berglund, Senior Director of Developer Experience at Confluent on an episode of the Streaming Audio podcast about Apache Kafka, hosted by Confluent titled, "Chris Riccomini on the History of Apache Kafka and Stream Processing." In it, Chris shares how Apache Kafka® was born while he was at LinkedIn and how Kafka and the stream processing framework Samza came about. He also shares what he's doing these days at WePay—building systems that use Kafka as a primary data store.

One of the largest remaining gaps in the San Francisco Bay Trail — a 1-mile stretch west of Golden Gate Fields — is set for construction starting this month.
The East Bay Regional Park District announced Monday construction on the new trail between Buchanan and Gilman streets is expected to be completed in December 2019. During construction time, Golden Gate Fields will remain open.
"The trail segment will be constructed across a 4.88 acre easement donated by Golden Gate Fields to the East Bay Regional Park District in 2016," the park district said in a statement, adding that it will "provide spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco Bay and Mt. Tamalpais."
In addition to the trail segment, EBRPD is leading a habitat restoration project at Albany Beach, which is expected to be closed for five months during construction.

In vitro fertilisation is a form of infertility treatment where ova are removed from a woman and fertilised outside of the body by sperm. The resulting zygotes are allowed to develop for a few days before one or at most two embryos are returned to the uterus to implant and develop.
This is an inherited condition which leads to the progressive weakening and breakdown of muscles. This in turn leads to increasing levels of disability. In its most severe forms it can be fatal.
A genetic disease caused by a defective, recessive gene. It is characterised by the production of thick, sticky mucous in the lungs and pancreas which cause respiratory and digestive problems.
Controlled sequence of events that results in cell division in the body cells.
The person who receives a new healthy organ in a transplant operation
The name for a group of cells that are developing into a fetus. In humans this is from implantation to the 8th week of development
A mass of abnormal cells which keep multiplying in an uncontrolled way.
A group of cells in an organism that are specialised to work together to carry out a particular function.
A structure with a particular function which is made up of different tissues.
The person who donates an organ for a transplant operation
The development of the polymerase chain reaction has had a major impact on medicine. The ability to take a very tiny sample of DNA, even from a single cell, and amplify it to give enough material for easy analysis has opened many doors in medicine. PCR - and especially RT-PCR - has triggered the development of diagnostic techniques which would have been impossible just a few years ago.
Medical developments which have resulted or are in progress as a result of PCR include:
Amplifying the genetic material from a single bacterium or virus can provide a speedy and accurate diagnosis for serious infections such as AIDS, viral meningitis and TB, where getting the right treatment quickly can mean the difference between life and death. What is more, RT-PCR makes it possible to identify new pathogens at a speed which would have been unimaginable a few years ago. The rapid identification of the SARS virus (see Infection detection) is one example of the way PCR can help fight infections. Another example was announced in March 2017, when scientists introduced genome sequencing for pathogens in suspected cases of TB. The bacteria which cause tuberculosis take weeks to grow in culture, but genome sequencing after PCR enables them to be identified correctly in days. As a result, people with TB can be treated rapidly with the appropriate antibiotic, so they get better sooner and are less likely to spread the disease to others.
Analysing and identifying sub-strains of bacteria and viruses enables scientists and doctors to track down the source of an infection – sometimes to a specific individual or food production plant. As a result, they can prevent further spread of disease.
By identifying if a bacterial pathogen is resistant to particular antibiotics, the appropriate treatment can be given – and the risk of further resistance developing reduced. The introduction of PCR and genome sequencing of TB pathogens in 2017 enabled doctors to discover exactly which antibiotic is effective against a particular strain of TB, curing patients faster, reducing the spread of disease and minimising the development of further antibiotic resistance.
PCR makes it easier to identify individuals who carry genes which can cause problems like cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy. It has also made it possible to look at the genetic material taken from a single cell of a very early embryo during in vitro fertilisation, amplify it and identify potential problems relatively easily. In future, screens may even be developed for the genetic variations which give us an increased risk of developing problems such as heart disease or high blood pressure. This would allow people to alter their lifestyle to reduce their risk. Screening may also indicate whether a particular medicine is the best one for that person – this idea is called "personalised medicines."
Cancers develop when small changes in the DNA of a cell mean that it loses the normal control of the cell cycle and grows and divides far too rapidly. Using PCR to amplify the DNA from fragments of cells in the blood gives doctors and scientists the opportunity to pick up these genetic changes in cancerous cells early in the development of the disease. The earlier cancers are detected the greater the likelihood that they can be successfully treated.
Diagnosis of bowel cancer often involves an investigation of the colon and tissue samples being taken from any areas which look suspicious. Using PCR, bowel cancer can now be detected from the DNA of cells shed in the faeces. This is an easy, quick and non-intrusive way (pleasanter for all concerned!) of making a diagnosis which gives treatment a much better chance of success.
In organ transplants, a close tissue match between the donor and the recipient reduces the chances that the new organ will be rejected. In the past, this matching has been based on blood groupings and a few other major tissue markers. As a DNA bank of all the people needing transplants can be built up, PCR will lead to increasingly sophisticated levels of tissue matching at the DNA level. PCR enables analysis of a potential donor's tissue to be carried out quickly and effectively. This in turn should lead to more successful transplants.

#AnAdvertADay #Day59
The Mahindra Group has been propelling into the space of encouraging innovation since 2011 when it launched the 'Spark the Rise' campaign. This year, they went a step further and launched 'Rise Prize – World class from India', a nationwide innovation challenge with a million dollars to be won for the best idea.
For this campaign, Mahindra has recognised two areas, core to the Indian needs, in which it is looking for disruptive and next-gen innovations – Mobility(transport) and Solar energy.
In order to promote this campaign, they launched an excellent digital film with a voice-over by the renowned Ninad Kamat. The script for the same is extremely well crafted, with visuals that beautifully depict the words being spoken. The ad begins with a couple of reflective lines where the voice over talks about how the world is made up of numerous ideas and how ideas can be sparked everywhere and anywhere. It then moves onto asking, changing the tone to that of an innocent curiosity, if the next big idea can come from right here – India.
The ad makes for a great shout out to entrepreneurs and innovators with the lines, "If you have a million dollar idea, we have a million dollars for you'. Mahindra has called it 'India's Biggest Innovation Challenge'.
The idea with this campaign is not only to generate innovative ideas but also to build an eco-system that is strongly driven by innovation. Mahindra is carefully and pro-actively moving towards being the brand that represents innovation in the country. It's a great move for any brand and especially Mahindra, one that is truly Indian.
'Rise Prize' is built in such a way that it doesn't seem like a campaign for Mahindra's brand proposition 'Spark the Rise'. Instead it's made to look like a campaign that is built for country-wide encouragement of innovation. Now that, is where the genius of the campaign lies.
No matter who takes the million dollars home, the real winner here is Mahindra.

May reassures 'full protection for cross-border cooperation'
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Theresa May, has said that "there will be no hard border" on the island of Ireland. She added that there "will be full protection for all existing cross-border cooperation".
The Leader of the Conservative Party, May, made the comments today (Tuesday, February 5) as she was speaking to business leaders in Northern Ireland.
She added that she will ensure there is no "physical infrastructure or related checks and controls" on the border of Ireland.
The Prime Minister outlined that full "cooperation on health and transport and keeping the island of Ireland disease free for animals and plants" will remain.
"Every area of existing cross-border cooperation must be respected."
In her speech, May reassured people living in the border region that they "will be able to live their lives as they do now".
I've spoken to people in places like Fermanagh who remember the customs border posts, approved roads and security installations of the not-so-distant past.
The Prime Minister said she has also spoken with businesses who have supply chains that cross between Great Britain, Northern Ireland and Ireland.
She said that she understands how "thousands of people" move back and forward between Northern Ireland and Ireland every day "to go to work, to see family, and to do their shopping".
I understand what a hard border would mean. Not just in terms of the disruption at the border itself but in terms of trade with the island.
"A seamless border between Northern Ireland and Ireland is integral. It has been the cornerstone around which the community in Northern Ireland has come together to deliver peace and prosperity and I will not do anything to put that at risk."
May stressed that if cooperation changes are to occur, "it will be a matter for Belfast and Dublin in accordance with the three-stranded approach – not as a consequence of our EU exit".
Concluding, the Prime Minister vowed to "uphold the rights enshrined in the Belfast Agreement for all the people of Northern Ireland right across the whole community".

The Miz & R-Truth sound off on WWE COO Triple H
Bucking protocol by attempting to schedule themselves in a match against Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne for the prestigious WWE Tag Team Titles at Night of Champions, The Miz & R-Truth are clearly more convinced than ever that a conspiracy is running rampant in WWE – and that WWE Chief Operating Officer Triple H is at the center of it all.
WWE.com caught up with Miz & Truth for an interview mere moments after they issued a strongly worded challenge to "Air Boom" on WWE Raw SuperShow, but The Awesome One and the unorthodox former rapper wouldn't let us get a word in. Instead, the vocal tandem went on a rant about The Game's alleged "C-O-N-spiracy," not getting the attention they feel they deserve and what they plan on doing to their potential Night of Champions opponents.
Were The Miz & R-Truth out of line in trying to place themselves in a WWE Tag Team Championship Match at Night of Champions? Will "Air Boom" even accept their challenge? Watch the video above, then share your thoughts on Facebook and Twitter.

Madera Canyon is at the base of the Santa Rita Mountains, south of Tucson. It's one of our "sky islands." We've got a number of these small mountainous regions poking up from our desert floor, and they really are remarkable. The climate, flora and fauna atop these islands couldn't be more different than the Sonoran Desert. There are things like pine trees and snow up there! Each sky island is unique, since they are isolated from each other by the desert surrounding them. This was clearly demonstrated to me by the deer I saw that day. I have never seen a deer in the Catalina Mountains, north of town (including Mt. Lemmon.) I saw at least half a dozen on the 1 mile stretch of road in Madera Canyon.
Here are a few more pictures from my day.
Edit: I woke up this morning to this article in the paper about Madera Canyon.

The morning's qualifying session saw Mihai Marinescu take pole for the first time this season, with Alex Brundle next door on the front row. Behind, Ramon Pineiro and championship leader Mirko Bortolotti shared the second row. The only remaining championship contender, Christopher Zanella, was on the third row ahead of Tobias Hegewald.
When the lights went out, Brundle took the lead from Marinescu, while Pineiro headed Bortolotti and Hegewald got ahead of Zanella. Marinescu got his position back after the first lap, but it remained tight between the pair while the Pineiro-Bortolotti and Hegewald-Zanella battles continued behind them.
About a third of the way into the race, Bortolotti got the better of Pineiro and prepared for his next goal – Brundle, who was slowly falling behind Marinescu. And Zanella behind knew he had to overtake Hegewald, to prevent the Austro-Italian from taking the title today should Bortolotti get Brundle.
Bortolotti soon closed on Brundle, and it was a tight battle between the pair for the remainder of the race. The Brit held on to second for all but the final lap, as he refused to give in to the pressure. But on the final lap, Bortolotti had his way as he got past Brundle and took a close second. Brundle took the final podium spot, while a trailing Pineiro came fourth. Zanella, who had overtaken Hegewald, had tried to fight with Pineiro but ended up fifth. Hegewald came sixth, with Thiemo Storz seventh, Jack Clarke eighth, Mikkel Mac ninth and Luciano Bacheta picking up the point for tenth after struggling all weekend.
If Zanella is to take the title, he will need Bortolotti to DNF all the remaining races, whilst winning them all himself. Not quite as hard as Jenson Button's task in F1, but about as unlikely!
Auto GP
The penultimate race of a closely-fought championship took place today. Polesitter Adrien Tambay (son of Patrick Tambay) took the win, just ahead of GP2 runner-up Luca Filippi who had fought hard. Tambay is now fourth in the championship, and needs the win at least (he could also do with fastest lap) – plus disaster for his opponents – if he's to take the title.
More likely to win are the top three. Leading the championship is Kevin Ceccon. Already the under-21 champion, he's already taken part in the GP2 test he won. Ceccon came fourth in today's race and will start fifth tomorrow with the reversed grid. Luca Filippi is in second – nine points behind Ceccon – and will start seventh tomorrow. In third is Sergei Afanasiev of Russia, who finished sixth today and starts third tomorrow. He is 11 points behind Ceccon.
Third-placed in today's race was Fabio Onidi, who also took part in this week's GP2 test. Eighth was Adam Carroll, who stalled on the grid but came back to take reversed pole tomorrow and also set the fastest lap.

Our Attitude toward Authority Matters
It is important to know from whence power and authority come so that you can be free to live and work without hindrance. When you rightly order your thoughts, attitudes, and actions toward authority, you are more likely to thrive and flourish. Many of us learn this concept in childhood from our parents. We learn to avoid breaking their rules and to respect their authority. As representatives of authority in schools and government, we learned to speak and act respectfully toward teachers and principals, as well as police officers and judges. Lacking a proper disposition toward those in authority leads to rebellion (even anarchy), and then eventually to chastisement and loss of freedom/s. This is true within all social organizations: whether it is family, business, church, school, military, or government. An individual or organization that has and maintains a proper disposition toward authority finds more freedom and flourishes under the social institutions to which they belong.
Rulers Who Abuse Authority
Unfortunately not all those who hold authority do so with honor and integrity. They can at times act like wolves among sheep instead of as protecting shepherd-leaders (Ps. 82; Ezekiel 34). However, it is possible to disagree with the actions of the prevailing authority and yet maintain a proper disposition of respect and compliance in order to thrive under them. Even still, at some point the nature of mankind leads them to throw off the yoke of oppression (American Revolution) and set up new, and hopefully better, governing authority. Under our system of government like-minded citizens can band together and change our government's laws and authority.
Limitations to Authority
In America we often speak of and celebrate our rights and our freedom, but we all know that freedom has limitations. Free speech is limited when in a crowded theatre (see the oft-cited prohibition to yelling "Fire" and causing a harmful panic). We commonly think of freedom ending when it begins to infringe upon others freedom and rights. These rights, freedoms, and limitations are spelled out for us in our authoritative governing documents (Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Bill of Rights & following Amendments, Laws, Supreme Court decisions, etc). In Matt 22:37-40, Jesus Christ highlighted the limitations of actions toward others when He explained the greatest commandment…to love your neighbor as yourself (ie. "do unto others…").
Human Government is not the Supreme Authority
In the Declaration, Jefferson appealed to the Laws of Nature and Nature's God as entitlers of the position of our new nation. He also identified the Creator as the one who not only created all men equal, but also endowed them with the rights of "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." In the following section the Declaration declares "that to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed." It goes on to state that whenever a government becomes despotic and destroys these individual rights and freedoms, the people have the right to alter, or abolish that government. As Abraham Lincoln stated, we consider our government to be "of the people, by the people, for the people." So we recognize the authority of our founding documents, the authority of the electorate of free citizens, and the authority of the ministers of that governing authority (president, congress, supreme court, police, etc). This is fine if we wish to have freedom and the ability to thrive under the authority of our government within our finite human lifespan. However, this is not the case if there is another, higher, authority. Many deny the existence of God. Even if they believe God exists, they deny that He has authority over humans and human government. In so doing, they are dangerously missing the most important source of authority and power (Ecc 12:13; Matt 10:24-33).
God is the Supreme Authority
The founding fathers were correct when they identified God as the Creator of Humanity, "the Supreme Judge of the world" and therefore the originator of all rights for mankind. This is what we see in the Bible—that all power and authority ultimately comes from God. In the Book of Job (chs 38-40) God reveals that He alone . . . is the source of all authority and power over all that exists. He reveals this to rebuke Job for his wrong attitude toward God. If we do not rightly order our thoughts, attitudes, and actions toward Him, we will face His wrath and judgment. This end is not His desire for Humanity, but absent their obedience, it is His judgment upon them (Ezek 33:11). The Bible speaks clearly on authority, power, God's system of governance, human government, rulers, etc. In the following series, we will explore and unpack these and why they matter to you. The upcoming article will cover: God's Creation-Governance Framework.

The Fifth Annual Beaufort Memorial Cycling Classic will bring 200 professional cyclists to town May 3 for another hair-raising, heart-pounding race through the Historic District.
The 70 female and 118 male competitors participating in this year's event will be riding a .6-mile course that begins on Bay Street, turns onto the one-lane Scott Street and continues around Craven and Newcastle streets. At top speed, the cyclists will hit 40 mph.
"It's like NASCAR on bicycles," said Joe DeVito, one of the race organizers. "They're diving into turns at very fast speeds in a constant battle to stay in front. And they're riding just inches from each other."
The women will make 50 laps—the equivalent of 30 miles. The men will ride around the course 75 times or 45 miles. Averaging speeds of 25 to 30 mph, it will take the cyclists one and a half to two hours to finish their heat.
Unlike long, arduous road races such as the Tour de France, criterion racing involves short, fast courses in urban areas, providing cycling fans with non-stop excitement. Rather than see the riders cruise by them once, spectators are watching the pack pass them every 90 seconds.
They also are able to walk the course during the race to get different perspectives of the action. In the Beaufort competition, the first turn is one of the most harrowing as the cyclists come off Bay Street's long straightaway onto the narrow Scott Street.
"They're coming into a very tight turn at top speed," DeVito said. "They don't really slow down. They may ease up on the power, but they don't hit the brake."
This is the fifth year Beaufort Memorial has sponsored the event, part of the USA Crits Southeast series that includes seven races in nine days, each in a different Southeastern city. The Cycling Classic is the third race in the series.
"As the community's primary healthcare provider, we are delighted to once again be a part of Beaufort's pro cycling event," said Beaufort Memorial Hospital President and CEO Rick Toomey. "The Beaufort Memorial Cycling Classic truly celebrates active, healthy living, and we always look forward to this event."
Training year round, the professional cyclists are in top form as they enter the racing season. They typically ride six days a week, 40 to 80 miles a day, to prepare for the grueling competitions. At peak performance, their heart rates will accelerate to 150 to 200 beats per minute.
"It's very exciting watching them race," said DeVito, an avid cyclist. "The back stretch is where they make their moves. They're jockeying for position on Craven. As they turn onto New Castle, they really pick up speed."
The event, which is free and open to the public, will start with a kids' race at 5 p.m., followed by the women's race at 6 and the men's heat at 7:30. Approximately 4,000 people are expected to line the streets for the Cycling Classic. Spectators are welcome to bring chairs to watch the event.
For more information, visit www.lowcountrycyclist.com.
Cycling Sunday
Young up-and-coming cyclists can sharpen their biking skills May 1 at the Cycling Sunday bike rodeo taking place from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Beaufort Memorial Hospital parking lot.
Members of Lowcountry Velo—the Beaufort-based cycling club organizing the Cycling Classic—will be setting up an obstacle course complete with small rolling hills, a figure eight track and traffic signs. Participants must have their own bicycles to ride the course. Helmets also are requited, but a limited number will be available for riders who need them.
To ensure maximum performance, experts will be on hand to pump up tires and adjust bikes to properly fit their riders. They'll also help newbies navigate the course and instruct them on how to follow traffic signs.
"We want to make sure they know what to do when they get to a stop sign or yield sign," said Joe DeVito, a Lowcountry Velo member and Cycling Sunday organizer.
The free event will end with a one-mile ride around a nearby neighborhood.
"We had 150 kids participate in this event the last time we had it," DeVito said. "There were kids from 13 years old to little ones riding with training wheels."

004, a photo by Vintage Vision on Flickr.
Whoops, just noticed my washing line - you don't think I'm becoming obsessed do you ?
Whoops, just noticed my washing line - you don't think I'm becoming obsessed do you ?
Can you spot the deliberate mistake in this photo ? You will need to learn about vintage clothing if you are thinking of coming to our Vintage Quiz which is being held over the Food Festival weekend at Vintage Vision.
PS. The top has a 1970s 'flying saucer' design and the skirt is a 1950s 'Rockabilly' type garment.
Just to remind you of the great fun we all had at our last Vintage Fayre which, I am sure, will be surpassed on Sunday, 7th August, when we will repeat the experience. We have more stalls than ever this year so bring plenty of cash because you are going to need it.
This lady and her two friends bought several items of vintage clothing on Saturday and looked fantastic in all of them. I believe that some of the clothes were worn at the vintage dance on Saturday evening which was organised by Blaenavon Heritage Committee.
Lunchtime was great fun when we went in the hall for a wartime treat. We had spam sandwiches and marmite on plain white bread - not very healthy but certainly filling. I have lipstick on my paper cup and sandwich due to the thick layers I wore to try and attract a passing soldier but no luck !However the day was saved when we later ate Rabbit Stew and fried Jam sandwiches cooked by Franco of The Walnut Tree fame.
Alison, another of our volunteers, whose special interest is in restoring furniture and linen, wore a very smart outfit to help in the Vintage Vision shop in Blaenavon on Saturday.
The beautiful lady in the photograph wore one of our vintage items to walk around town and certainly attacted a lot of attention.
Elizabeth, one of Vintage Visions volunteers, looked amazing at the Blaenavon Heritage weekend and, although looking very pensive on this photo, had a fantastic time as we all did.
This friendly couple had made a special effort to look the part at the Blaenavon Heritage weekend last Saturday and Sunday and don't they look great.
How about this wonderful polyester coat labelled Ascot Model. It is a very vibrant colour of dark turquoise, has double buttons on the front and two pockets. At £45 in Vintage Vision it is a great buy.
Unfortunately, even though it is officially summer, we still get quite cold spells and it is always prudent to have at least one warm coat to hand. This Rodene tweed coat is especially adaptable to all weathers and cost £50 at Vintage Vision.
It isn't very often that you see a mac in such condition as this one and considering it is from the 60s this one is a prime example. It is in a coffee and cream colour with a detachable tie belt and button front. It is a small garment and is available for £40 at Vintage Vision.
PS. More rain is forecast !
This an original 1970s dress which I bought recently but most of all I love these original Mary Quant snakeskin shoes. You would feel groovy in this outfit when parading at a disco wouldn't you ?
These are four biba-style brooches which I bought recently at a vintage fayre and I just love the quirkiness of them don't you ?
No folks, it's not halloween. As part of our re-cycling effort at Vintage Vision, I was asked to knit some 'boobs' for the National Childbirth Trust and had great fun in doing so. They are made from entirely re-cycled materials and are used to show pregnant mothers how to breast feed their babies. Apparently the more colourful the better which is just as well. If anyone would like the pattern to help your local Childbirth Trust please let us know and I will forward you a copy. Happy knitting !
Remember this photograph from last year's Blaenavon Heritage Weekend, well its all happening again this weekend and Vintage Vision will be selling some of their vast array of vintage wares. We look forward to seeing you there as we pose in our vintage clothes - that alone has got to make it worth coming !
Don't forget our amazing Vintage Fayre on 7th August between 10am and 4 pm when we will again have loads of fantastic stalls selling vintage clothing, crockery etc. There will also be kid's workshops and a children's dressing-up area so hurry along and bring the family for a great day out !

Globalization and Child Deaths
Thomas Riggins
The 5-8-07 New York Times tells us that 28,000 children a day die as a result of disease (easily preventable) and starvation. That is 28,000 X 365 = 10,220,000 children a year. This report was on page A6, the front page was taken up by the problems Paul Wolfowitz is having trying to keep his World Bank job.
The ten million plus number is a great testimony to the successes of globalization. This info is from a report by Save the Children. Here is a quote from one of the report's health experts, David Oot: "In 2007, when we know what to do and how little it costs, that 28,000 kids are still dying each day is just plain wrong."
The World Bank President is more concerned with the fallout from his promotion of his girl friend than with those children, and the big powers, especially the US would rather waste its resources kiiling people in Iraq and elsewhere than helping those dying kids!
It was 25 years ago that the international drive to reduce infant deaths was initiated and there was some success at the start, but of late, the Times reports, "broad progress against infant and child mortality has flagged." Thanks to the US, Iraq has the highest increase in the child death rate-- its rate is up 150% since 1992 due to sanctions and war.
Last year 122,000 under 5s died in Iraq due to "deteriorating health services, rising inflation, and electricity shortages [which] have worsened living conditions" according to the report ("State of the World's Mothers: Saving the Lives of Children Under 5.")
That ten million plus a year is, by the way, worse than any genocide anywhere. It really represents a new kind of genocide, that of the rich industrial nations, the big capitalist powers, against the poor children of the world and their mothers. It is a genocide of indifference at best, at worse it is knowingly allowed to happen because natural resource exploitation and "free" trade, as well as wanting to maintain sources of cheap labor, rank as more important than these children-- cast aside to die as so much surplus population

I have recently admitted to liking a few of the Monster High dolls, and among them – the "Dance Class" Howleen. I don't know why, myself not being particularly 'edgy', occasionally find myself attracted to 'edgy' dolls. To me, Howleen is a fantastic blend of both edgy and cute 🙂
The "Dance Class" line debuted in 2012. While I have noticed that it is still sometimes possible to find them "New In Box" for a fairly decent price, I was perfectly happy to purchase this particular one used, and not only unboxed – one that had actually actually played with. But apart from slightly loose wrist joints, she is in a pretty great condition! She also came with every one of her original accessories and even some extras! I think this is evidence of great parenting in that household 😉
Howleen is portrayed as a younger girl (warewolf). This is reflected in her style and her build. She is slightly shorter and more slender in the chest area than her older friends from the Monster High line.
This line starred different monsters as enthusiasts of different kind of music, with Howleen as a Hip Hop fan. I can't tell if her outfit is typical of a Hip Hop performer, but it certainly looks comfy for practice. The leggings and the leotard are, unfortunately, one piece. The whole outfit seems to be themed around sweet, bright colours and paw prints. The aforementioned 'edginess' comes from the inclusion of safety pins in the design and her big boom box shaped bag. Personally, I find safety pins to be more reminiscent of Heavy Metal, but they look fine on her.
The shoes look fairly simple, but are unique in that they are among rather few pairs of sporty shoes in the realm of Monster High – it seems that fancy & smart ones dominate. Howleen theoretically has smaller feet than the young adult dolls, but normal shoes fit her so-so and look passable.
My favourite part about the doll – the one thing that immediately caught my attention – is her pink puffy pigtails:
I don't know why. I am no longer trying to understand, I have just let it be. This hairdo makes me happy 🙂 I also like the very pink lips. I don't know if it's the conditioning by Barbie products in childhood, but sometimes this weird affinity for pink still surfaces.
I like Howleen as she is, overall – and I guess that includes the ears and he fangs. I have, nonetheless, thought that perhaps I would like her even more as a normal girl. The fangs could easily be painted over, and I found a very good tutorial on removing the wolf ears. And then I realised that if I cut off her wolf ears, she won't have ears at all! I am not confident in my ability to sculpt tiny human ears, so she's staying in wolf form for the foreseeable future.
The fact that Howleen is a (younger) teen has opened some new photo opportunities. She is the first doll who seems at home in the teen room in my IKEA Spexa paper dollhouse.
I thought she should have a little bit of mess in there, like a real teen 🙂 500 imaginary points if you can identify the trousers on the couch 🙂 They used to belong to a doll from my childhood whom I liked a lot (especially before my hamster ripped out some of her hair. true story)
Howleen entered my collection bringing in many goodies – from personal charm to numerous doll accessories, but there is even more – the day I went to the other side of the city to pick her up from her previous owners, I ran into an old friend and we were able to get in touch again 🙂 Certainly a doll with good looks and a good story 🙂

As a board-certified holistic nutrition consultant, I'm passionate about creating personalized, custom nutrition plans that meet you where you are at – and ensure you can finally achieve those long-held goals for weight management and overall health. I call the result "Functional Nutrition," and the results I've witnessed in my clients through my coaching and nutrition therapy programs is proof that my system works. It's self-care at its finest!
Did you know that designing a personalized and customized nutrition plan is actually delicious and inspiring? There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all diet and, unfortunately, diet plans like those packaged "best sellers" often wind up doing more harm than good.
My name is Chen Ben Asher, and I knew in my heart that there was more to achieving overall health and balance than the average, structured diet could offer. Thus began my lifelong interest, education, and career – dedicated to learning everything I can about how the ingredients we eat, and the way we live, makes or breaks the way we look and feel – and our overall wellness.
There's no need to feel guilty, there's no need for shame, and there's no reason to not take a completely new look at your body, your health and your relationship to food.
All it takes is one, FREE consultation to figure out if we're a good fit. If so, we'll schedule your first appointment – and the beginning of a functional, nutritional approach that is sustainable. With my fully invested and compassionate partnership, you're going to learn that food is not the enemy – the right foods and recipes are key to your weight loss and health management plan. I know there are a lot of San Jose nutritionists to work with, but I'd love to have the opportunity to work with you!
It All Starts With a Healthy Gut – and Partnership!
Did you know that your gut – rather than your diet – is the foundation for nutritional health? You can eat all the carrot sticks and hummus you want, but it isn't going to do any good if your gastrointestinal (g.i.) isn't healthy enough to absorb essential nutrients. You'll be amazed at what happens when we take the first, simple steps toward healing your gut.
From there, we're going to take an investigative approach to your underlying health issues, triggers and even your relationship with food. We'll answer important questions such as:
- What's your family and personal medical history (your genes play in an important role in what works and what doesn't in terms of nutrition)?
- What are the root cause(s) of your body's signs and symptoms?
- What led to your symptoms and triggers?
- Why are you experiencing chronic inflammation and/or infections?
- What stressors negatively affect your biological pathways (and what new pathways need to be created to support holistic wellbeing)?
- What's your daily/weekly/monthly schedule look like?
- Do you have food sensitivities, allergies, environmental sensitivities or other "triggers" you may not be aware of yet?
When we take a scientific, investigative approach to your health, imbalance(s), disease, weight, symptoms, etc., finding solutions becomes an inspiring and empowering "game." We'll work together to find the nutritional pieces we need to put everything back into balance again. If your open to it, we may even bring your current health providers and healers on board for a more collaborative approach.
All of these health issues and more are treatable, and/or benefit from a personalized approach to nutrition and big-picture lifestyle adjustments. Please give me a call at 408-966-4972, or use my website's contact features to schedule a consultation.
Use Nutrition to Treat Chronic Weight Issues and Other Long-Term or Mysterious Health Issues
After using a scientific and systematic approach to what's ailing you – and what is contributing to your ailments, we're going to promote your body's natural healing processes by designing a customized approach to your individual nutritional needs.
After serving hundreds of clients in the San Jose and Bay Area communities, I've seen first-hand how the right nutrition supports and heals some of the most common imbalances and health conditions, including:
Nutritious Should Always Be Synonymous With Delicious
One of the greatest hurdles you and I will overcome is society's belief that healthy food isn't tasty food. This is a huge myth, largely propagated by the multi-billion dollar diet drink/food industry that make pre-packaged health foods and drinks the go-to remedies for weight loss. In fact, many of these foods contribute to weight-gain, chronic inflammation and negatively impact your health.
The foods and recipes I'm going to share with you are colorful, flavorful, vibrant and delicious. The truth is that your customized nutrition plan is going to taste wonderful to your palate – you know why? Because our bodies inherently gravitate towards foods containing the nutrients we need. Unfortunately, in the era of hyper-processed and synthetic foods, you may be reaching for a run-of-the-mill chocolate bar when you actually need magnesium, or a big bowl of ice cream when you're actually experiencing insulin resistance that leads to sugar cravings. How ironic to find that nutrient deficiency may actually be the root cause of your obesity.
Once we address the underlying issues and triggers, cravings diminish and your new nutrition and lifestyle plan will make misguided cravings a thing of the past.
Ready to finally get to the root of the causes of your weight gain and health issues?
Contact me here at Mor's Nutrition & More, 408-966-4972. It's your first real step on the path to a healthier and wholesome You.

Children In Need Album Selling Fast… But Vanishes From Album Chart
Having racked up more than 17,000 sales in just over a month, Got It Covered for BBC Children in Need was heading for the No 1 spot in the UK's Official Album Chart… before being relegated to the compilations chart today.
BBC Children in Need's first album features songs by the likes of Helena Bonham Carter CBE, Olivia Colman CBE, David Tennant and Jodie Whittaker.
A host of acclaimed actors volunteered their time to play a part in this exciting charity album. They include:
- Helena Bonham Carter CBE who covered Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell
- Jim Broadbent who covered Blue Moon by Various Artists
- Olivia Colman CBE who covered Glory Box by Portishead
- Shaun Dooley who covered Never Grow Up by Taylor Swift
- Luke Evans who covered Smile by Nat King Cole
- Suranne Jones who covered Symphony by Clean Bandit
- Adrian Lester OBE who covered I Wish by Stevie Wonder
- Himesh Patel who covered All These Things That I've Done by The Killers
- David Tennant who covered Sunshine On Leith by The Proclaimers
- Jodie Whittaker who covered Yellow by Coldplay
Shaun Dooley, who masterminded the project for BBC Children in Need, is delighted with the result.
"When we began working on this incredibly special project many months ago, I couldn't have dreamed that such a beautiful, joyful, heartfelt album would be produced," he said.
"The fact that it was No 1 in the midweek album chart really is the icing on the top of what truly has been the most incredible few months.
"The album is still available to purchase now. So please do show your support for BBC Children in Need and grab a copy!"
Got It Covered secured the coveted No 1 spot in the midweek Official chart. However as different singers perform each track, it was decided to re-categorise it as a compilation.
The album is available to purchase on the BBC Children in Need website.
Each track was crafted and recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios and Rak Studios in London.
The actors received expert guidance and mentoring from Brit and Mercury award-winning record producers and songwriters, Guy Chambers and Jonathan Quarmby. They were conducted by Steve Sidwell with the BBC Concert Orchestra.
Renowned vocal coach Mark De-Lisser also came on board to help the actors produce their tracks.
The album is released on Silva Screen Records. It was recorded as part of the 90-minute entertainment documentary, BBC Children in Need: Got It Covered. This was co-produced by BBC Studios and 20four7films and aired on BBC One.
The documentary is currently available to view on iPlayer. It will be repeated on BBC One after the 2019 Appeal Show at 12.30am on Saturday, November 16, 2019.

Prosodies, phonematic units, paradigms and syntagms, and far-reaching distrust of the phoneme. How I wish I understood this stuff.

Abstracticum Mark Olson 2017
Mark Olson
May 5–June 3, 2017
Reception: May 12 • 5–8pm
Orange Green © Mark Olson
The visual archeology of color through time. The painting is time compressed, and its drama is color as seen through a lens. Point and background. Discourse and dissonance. Layers and territories. Eruptions and histories. Movement and decay. Through shifting light and mood the stories are told in time, as time itself is captured and held by the endless light of the painting.
Painter Mark Olson is a graduate of San Francisco State University, and California College of the Arts. He currently lives and works in San Rafael, California www.markolsonart.com

I don't really know how to write my prayer. I just know that I desperately need an affordable place to live, help with my depression, need healing with my health issues. I currently can't work because of my health issues. Currently, I don't have enough income to survive, my current living situation if very volatile. I am going to be homeless if I can't find an affordable place to live. I also need wisdom on what God wants me to do with my current issues. Thank You, God, for helping me find this website so that I can ask for prayer. I know that prayer is very powerful. Especially when a group of people prays for you. It can move mountains. AMEN

About: Since its foundation in 1991, Biofocus has been working on the development and practice-oriented application of molecular biology test systems. We establish new diagnostic tests, both on customer request and on the basis of new analytical possibilities in the course of scientific progress.
Accreditation: EN ISO 9001, EN ISO17025
Protocols, test method setups, and results are included in the enclosed reports. In addition to the Biofocus 2017 test findings, included for reference is the 2012 Biofocus document.
According to Healthy Facilities Institute (www.healthyfacilitiesinstitute.com) "Log" stands for logarithm, which is the exponent of 10. For example, Log-2 represents 102 or 10 x 10 or 100. Log Reduction stands for a 10-fold (one decimal) or 90% reduction in numbers of live bacteria.
Another way to look at it is: 1-Log Reduction would reduce the number of bacteria 90%. This means, for example, that 100 bacteria would be reduced to 10, or 10 reduced to 1.
90%.................. 1 Log reduction: Number of germs is 10 times smaller 99%.................. 2 Log reduction: Number of germs is 100 times smaller 99.9%............... 3 Log reduction: Number of germs is 1000 times smaller 99.99%............. 4 Log reduction: Number of germs is 10,000 times smaller 99.999%........... 5 Log reduction: Number of germs is 100,000 times smaller 99.9999% ........ 6 Log reduction: Number of germs is 1,000,000 times smaller
Result Summary: Various pathogen species were used for disinfection testing and the SoClean 2 in all testing facilities/species resulted in a minimum average Log 3 reduction (99.9% Disinfection) with many tests performing over a Log 4 reduction (99.99% Disinfection).

Test Microorganism Information The test microorganism(s) selected for this test:
Staphylococcus haemolyticus 29970
This is a Gram-positive, spherical-shaped bacteria commonly found on both the skin of humans and animals. This bacteria is known for being the second most common bacterial isolate from human blood and has been known to cause infections in people with compromised immune systems. Typically not a public health pathogen, recent strains of this microorganism has demonstrated antibiotic resistance.
Staphylococcus hominis 27844
This is a Gram-positive, spherical-shaped bacteria commonly found on both the skin of humans and animals. This bacteria is known for producing compounds that contribute to body odor and has been known to cause infections in people with compromised immune systems. Typically not a public health pathogen, recent strains of this microorganism has demonstrated antibiotic resistance.
Staphylococcus epidermidis 12228
This bacteria is a Gram-positive, cocci-shaped, facultative anaerobe. S. epidermidis is part of the human bacterial flora, mostly located on skin. It is not usually pathogenic, however, antibiotic resistant strains have evolved. Most Staphylococcus species are a hardy microorganisms capable of surviving on surfaces and under dry conditions. This bacteria, specifically, is regularly used in quality control, media testing, and pharmacuetical/personal care products testing.
Candida albicans 10231
This fungi is facultatively aerobic and can grow both as a yeast and as a filamentous fungus. Candida albicans is a commensal microorganism meaning it normally inhabits the human mouth and gastrointestinal tract but is opportunistic and can cause candidiasis or thrush. Candida albicans can survive for long periods of time without nutrients and is known to form biofilms on medical devices, therefore, disinfection to kill these fungi is very important.

Summary of the Procedure
The test microorganism is prepared, usually by growth in liquid culture medium.
The test culture may be supplemented with an artificial soil load, such as horse or fetal bovine
Received test devices are prepared such that they are free of background contamination prior
to the test.
Prepared devices are inoculated with the test culture. Inoculated devices are allowed to dry under ambient conditions. To evaluate low or intermediate level disinfection routines, test devices are allowed to dry for <1 hour. To evaluate high level disinfection routines, test devices are allowed to dry for a minimum of 1 hour.
The positive control device is extracted after the dry time to determine the baseline concentration of the test microorganism of test devices following the dry time.
Test devices are disinfected using the reprocessing routine specified by the Study Sponsor.
At the conclusion of the contact time, test devices are neutralized and extracted.
Dilutions of the extraction fluid are evaluated using an appropriate growth media to determine
the surviving microorganisms present on test devices after the disinfection regimen.
The number of surviving microorganisms present on test devices after observing the disinfection routine is compared to the number of microorganisms recovered from the positive
control device to determine microbial reductions.

1) Disinfection of used CPAP equipment
A used "Mojo Vented Full Face Mask" (Sleepnet Corp.) was examined by swab sampling before and after sanitizing the mask with one standard cycle of the SoClean system (15min Ozone generation, wait time 2 hours).
The swab-test showed slight contamination of the mask with aerobic sporulating bacteria. Fungi could not be detected.
After one sanitizing cycle no bacteria and fungi could be detected (Fig. 1).
Figure 1: Result of the swab-test before (left) and after (right) one sanitizing cycle with SoClean.
2) Inactivation of Enterococcus faecalis immobilized on filter paper
A reference cell culture of Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 29212) was diluted 1/10 with sterile water. A membrane filter paper (0.45μm, Whatman, ME25) was contaminated with the bacteria by normal filtering. Each filter was separated into two parts. One part was positioned within the CPAP-mask (Fig.2), the other part was used as reference and was stored outside the incubation camber during the sanitizing process. After one standard cycle the filter was directly placed on a culture medium (Slanetz and Burtley, Oxoid, P05018A) and incubated for 60h at 37°C.
Figure 2: Positioning of the contaminated filter papers in the mask.
Enterococcus faecalis was completely inactivated on all filter papers subjected to the sanitizing process. The part of the filter not placed in the ozone chamber showed almost the same bacterial activity as a freshly prepared filter.
Figure 3: Result of the filter incubation form the left and right side of the mask. The red colour of the reference filters (left side of each plate) indicates the presence of bacteria. The white colour indicates complete elimination of the bacteria.
3) Sanitizing a mask, directly incubated with Enterococcus faecalis
The mask and the hose were contaminated by an Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 29212) cell culture solution (Fig. 4). The contaminated surfaces of the mask were examined by swab testing after one sanitizing cycle within the SoClean. A directly contaminated swab was used as reference.
Figure 4: Contaminated surfaces (marked blue) in the hose (left) and the mask (right).
On the contaminated surfaces all bacteria were inactivated (Fig. 5).
Figure 5: Result of the swab-test. Reference (left), mask (middle) hose (right). The red colour indicates the presence of bacteria. The white colour indicates complete elimination of the bacteria.

There's absolutely no doubt in the world that Lyon midfielder Tanguy Ndombele is one of the most sought-after players in Europe ahead of the summer transfer market.
The talented defensive specialist got kicked out of the Champions League earlier this week when his side lost to FC Barcelona in the Round of 16. However, the French player showed some good things and, most importntly, he didn't look overmatched when facing a team such as Barca. This should only bode well for his chances of leaving to a bigger club during the next summer.
Several Premier League sides, such as Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, have been linked with a move for the talented defensive midfielder. However, according to a report from Italian outlet Calciomercato, Juventus are the ones leading the race to acquire him.
It's unclear why this would make sense, though. Juventus already have a plethora of defensive midfielders such as Emre Can, Sami Khedira and Miralem Pjanic, although Ndombele could be an upgrade over the first two. Plus, the price tag could also become a factor. Ndombele would cost around €80m.
Juventus usually prefer to spend less on midfielders and more on attackers or defenders. But players such as Ndombele have the ability to change the game and if Juventus do not acquire him, other side will. The lone clear thing is that his days at Lyon seem numbered.

What is URL compression for?
The feature lets you change the look of links used in your posts. They become shorter and therefore more user-friendly. Due to message length limitations, some longer links cannot be shared otherwise.
The compression is done using a redirect from a specialized third-party service – tinyurl.com. Let's take a long catalogue link as an example.
Original length -149 characters:
Length after compression - 26 characters:
Some people compress all links they share in social networks, others use the feature selectively. We stand for the selective approach. If you've got a link to your own or a partner site, it makes sense to keep it as is for SEO purposes. Also some links can be very informative. For example, by looking at the link below an Internet marketing specialist will immediately recognize a well-known forum, the topic of discussion and the context in which the topic is discussed. More than enough to decide whether the link is worth a click.
For good or worse, a compressed link is stripped of such details.
You might want to consider link compression if the links in a post:
- are cited for purposes that are purely informative/entertaining etc.
- don't contain any text you want your readers/followers to see.

Home > Railroads > Amtrak > Capitol Corridor > Trip Report
We rode Amtrak's Capitol Corridor train from Sacramento to Oakland on 26 June 2016. We arrived in Sacramento midday on the California Zephyr and were departing late that night on the Cost Starlight, so figured we'd spend the layover riding trains, taking the Capitol Corridor to San Jose, and then the Coast Starlight back to Sacramento. The trip started well, but part way through the trip the crew announced that an earlier train had hit a trespasser up ahead and we were going to be held at one of the upcoming stations. Luckily, most of the stations where we could be held were also served by the Coast Starlight. In the end the train was held at Jack London Square in Oakland. Once we arrived we had the ticket agent change our Coast Starlight tickets, had some dinner, and waited for our return trip. So our ride on the Capitol Corridor was a bit shorter than planned, but at least everything worked out in the end.
