I am very new to Android programming. I have created a very simple android app using Android studio with just textview and button by following certain online tutorials.
Now I would like to create a login page and display all the users using the API I created for my rails application.
Can someone kindly point to resources which will help me login and then display all the users?
Thanks.


This is a translation of volume 1 & 2 of Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan's excellent 3 part commentary on the classical guide to the Hanbali madhab entitled Zad al-Mustaqni'. It covers the Book of Purification, the Book of Prayer, the Book of Funerals, the Book of Zakat, the Book of Fasting, the Book of Rites, the Book of Jihad and the Book of Food.
The texts of Zād and Bulūgh, Suffice for one to attain genius.
They indicated through this [the importance of] Zād al-Mustaqni' with regards to the study of fiqh and Bulūgh al-Marām with regards to the study of hadīth.No book as exemplary has been authored since it that contains as many important points (muhimāt) and issues (masā'il) as Zād. In fact, Zād excelled in terms of quantity and content. It is said that there are approximately three thousand important points and issues mentioned and similarly another three thousand inferred from the text. Meaning that it possesses within it around six thousand issues. This is what we heard from some of the noble scholars of the madhab in our time. While [in the current time] the students of knowledge transmit from some of the contemporary scholars that the number of issues in Zād goes beyond thirty thousand. Thus one should not avoid it.

Ok – we've heard about glam jobs too – where your dream is your job destination. Working at an island resort, on a whitewater rafting crew, or assisting an international adventure to name a few. Just remember; besides being competitive, these "exciting" jobs can also be demanding with long hours, stringent performance expectations and policies, lower than expected pay (or commissions only) and high cost-of-living expenses.
Not every summer job needs to be a whirlwind experience. Many possibilities exist in a variety of industries: hospitality, medicine and health, industry, and more. Search programs, job fairs, staffing agencies, career days for positions; then start narrowing your parameters to drill down on what appeals to you.
Career fairs are an excellent way to connect with companies not only hiring for reasons of economic development but also for those who are career-minded and looking for an entrée into the industry of choice.
Don't overlook registering with local staffing firms. These agencies, like Lingo Staffing, frequently need to fill seasonal positions in a variety of industries. You may even be able to work every summer for the same company until you graduate. Gaining that tenure adds to your appeal as well as gets you on the agency's radar for future openings that may match your goals.
No matter your summer job wishes, it pays to move forward on that job hunt now.
Our experience and commitment to client satisfaction makes us the perfect choice to manage all of your staffing needs. Our staff guarantees exceptional customer service with an expedient response time.

The Persuaders: How we let the PR industry control our minds
Reason and argument are dead, replaced by conspiracy theories and optional realities – and the PR industry is to blame, argues James Garvey in his latest book
Humans 2 March 2016
The PR industry started with simple advertising
Jorg Dickman/Plainpicture
By Sally Adee
A FUNNY thing happens when you start noticing people who are unmoved by facts and reason: you also start noticing those bashing their heads against the wall trying to get The Facts out there. That could be you, climate scientists, atheists, angry people with Facts.
Oh, the chasm between the people brandishing facts and the people without them (or with "facts" that are demonstrably wrong). Is it getting worse? I don't know – let's ask those rekindling interest in a flat Earth.
Introducing The Persuaders, philosopher James Garvey describes the event that motivated him to write the book: a panic that seized him after he had bested a public speaker with a killer objection – and it had made no difference. The speaker had stuck to his views. What price argument and reason? Garvey writes that the idea life turns largely on stuff other than reason "menaces me more than a little".
So what does run the show? After centuries of the ancient Greeks worshipping reason and evidence, after the debating clubs at the peak of the Enlightenment, we are now a world filled with conspiracy theories and optional realities. The rules have changed. Reason and argument are dead. And Garvey, who works at the Royal Institute of Philosophy, thinks he knows what killed them: public relations.
Over the past century, the PR industry has increasingly studied our psychology and identified the chinks in our mental armour. For example, Garvey cites the social psychology of pioneering neurosurgeon Wilfred Trotter, who found that our opinions are shaped not by reason and logic but by our in-group allegiances.
Seizing on such insights, and everything else that came their way, the PR industry designed tools to override critical reasoning: emotional appeals, status anxiety and so on.
It started with simple advertising but soon, realising the extraordinary potential, the PR industry colonised every arena of modern life, from politics to science communication, until there was no more room for reasoned debate. These days everyone has a PR company doing their wicked work, warping our realities to suit their agendas.
Garvey doesn't pull any punches. Tracing the rise of PR, the book is a riotous collection of near-libellous assertions and scandalous anecdotes. It's hard to stop reading, especially when Garvey finds the industry's origin tangled up with the Nazi regime. And he doesn't back down, plumbing the depths of the industry's uncritical reliance on pop psychology, in which it is decreed, for example, that cake is the most feminine of foods, meat the most masculine, and "roast chicken and oranges are bisexual".
"Cake is the most feminine of foods, meat the most masculine, roast chicken and oranges are bisexual"
To hear Garvey tell it, civilisation was bound to slide into unreason. Once the PR industry discovered our fundamental weaknesses, it wouldn't be long before these were exploited. To make this case, the book depends on thinking that has been in the ascendant since psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky introduced us to the dim view behavioural economists take of the human mind.
From them, we learned about a host of cognitive biases that show our minds are infested with irrationality. These include confirmation bias, in which we favour evidence that backs up our existing beliefs, while more or less ignoring alternative possibilities; and availability bias that makes us back options we recall easily over a wider sample that we can't.
But are we really at the mercy of such biases? If so, how did we make it this far? Is behavioural economics the best measure of our ability to reason, or just another attempt to understand human rationality that will in time be replaced?
Maybe it's time to break out of our cognitive bias bubble.

Portland, Oregon has been a leader in mobility innovation, but has also aggressively pushed back against companies such as Uber when corporate and city goals have diverged. With AVs, the city is working to consolidate home rule authority to regulate key aspects of AV use within city limits, despite repeated attempts in the Oregon state legislature to preemptively limit local control.
Meanwhile, Portland's transportation agencies committed to launching AV pilots in April 2017 under the Smart Autonomous Vehicles Initiative, which proposes to "implement testing and piloting of [AV] technology, while advancing public safety, protection of the environment, and transportation access for everyone, regardless of income." The program will prioritize shared and electric AV solutions, encourage testing technologies that benefit low- and moderate-income residents, and promote high-value trips such as freight and public transit. The initiative will also include a public engagement component focused on consulting local stakeholders in shaping the "rules of the road" for AVs in Portland. The city issued an RFI for AV pilots in June 2017.

The Celtics host the Bucks tonight in what is the third meeting already between the two teams in this young season. They've each won once.
The whipped cream on top of this particular delicious matchup is that this will be the first time Boston is seeing Milwaukee with Eric Bledsoe. The Bucks are 8-3 since the trade and really starting to click (4-1 in last 5) especially on the defensive end.
How do you solve a problem like Giannis?
Short answer – you can't. The Celtics gave up 37 and 28 respectively to the Freakiest Greek around. The league's #2 scorer is going to get his buckets, no doubt about that. But as Coach Stevens has proven in the past (*cough* Devin Booker *cough cough*) the Celtics don't really care how many points one individual gets. Team D is the name of the game. Pressure shooters and no easy looks.
Rebounds. Rebounds. Rebounds. The Bucks rank first in Offensive Rebounds. Keeping Milwaukee from easy points off put backs and second chance threes will be crucial. Boston needs to control the glass.
Shooting. Shooting. Shooting. As the shooting percentage goes so goes the Celtics. Overall Boston had a decent afternoon on Saturday with one exception – Terry Rozier going 1-6. The Celtics will need bench production from Rozier. Marcus Morris has been great off the bench though I could see him starting tonight with Bangers moving to the second unit. Which would mean even more of the scoring load shifting to Smart and Rozier.


Among games, videos and requests from friends on social networks, adolescents have seen spots and photos in recent weeks entitled "L & # 39; aventure du vivant". On Snapchat or Instagram, the Ministry of Agriculture launched an offensive and targeted campaign to promote public agricultural education. Presented as a preview at the International Agricultural Show in Paris, the campaign aims to brush up on preconceived ideas about agricultural high schools and intends to "make the purpose of the trades, more than 200, and the job prospects that offer these channels, said Didier Guillaume, Agriculture and Food Minister, an idea that comes when the institutions hold their annual Open House Weekend from the beginning of March. Does that mean that agricultural education is taking place and that there is room for all those who aspire to become farmers, veterinarians, landscapers or engineers? Not so sure.
In Laval, in the agricultural department of Mayenne, teachers have not fired since they saw the ministry use a video made by BTSA students from their high school on the sound of the song Happy Pharrell Williams. "The same week, we learned that the ministry has refused us the opening of a second class in animal production (PA)", says Yoann Vigner, professor of historical geography and regional secretary Snetap-FSU Pays de la Loire (organization majority trade union). Not enough to be very happy. The unionist explains that for several years the establishment is forced to refuse third-degree students who want to join this sector, due to lack of space in the existing classes. "Then they enter the private sector or completely change the sector. A situation that contrasts with the declared ambitions of the ministry and also with the situation of the territory in which the school is located." The department has many breeders and many young people want to practice this profession. The farms lack weapons, especially in the production of pigs, "says Yoann Vigner. For him, the ministry makes a double speech. The campaign, which aims to" guide young people towards the offer of a diversified education in the # 39 ; agricultural education ", clashes with the wall of reality, since, in this very plant in Laval, the opening of a sector of general education in economic and social sciences (SES) was rejected, while agricultural high schools have long been offering recognized and respectable scientific fields (S), because, among the peculiarities of these establishments, it is particularly that of the less numerous classes. "At 20 or even 24 hours at most, students have better conditions than learning ", emphasizes the teacher. And the possibility of dividing the lessons into some subjects, including modern languages. But even here, the ministry campaign is not in tune with the actions. The general direction for l & # 39; ist ruction and research (DGER), which supervises the agricultural colleges of the ministry, believes that "the duplication thresholds are one of the main causes of the decline in the number of agricultural public education" and therefore plans to improve them or even eliminate them altogether. This would be to deny that "they were set up for a pedagogical purpose (half a group of language courses for example) or for security reasons (supervision of practical work / exercises)", estimate the thousands of signatories of a petition initiated by Snetap- FSU, CGT agri, FO agricultural education, SUD, UNL and CIPF rural areas.
Items that were brought to the attention of the Minister of Agriculture by Snetap-FSU, during a meeting held on 12 March. Frédéric Chassagnette, deputy secretary general of the trade union organization, deplores an "almost impossible discussion" with the government. Believes that the alleged policy of reducing public jobs will lead to a deterioration of school conditions. "The public education will go to the cashier", which in turn causes a strengthening of private education.
Consequences that risk slowing down the necessary agro-ecological transition, since private establishments, in particular rural houses (MFR), are linked to the profession through the operators of competences (Opco). And, in the agricultural and agribusiness world, "the profession" has long teeth. "The FNSEA is very often represented to administer the institutions and the agribusiness national press agency to prevent institutions from approving occupational safety and health approvals," says Frédéric Chassagnette. "It could be a hassle to go around and then, the redevelopment (continuous training – ed.) will therefore be the responsibility of the owners ", said the unionist. The ministry should continue its cycle of consultations with the unions before deciding through an official communication. Yet, teachers and students, attached to these institutions like no other, in the end want good reasons to be truly "happy".

Schlappi Named New Executive Director of Columbia Area Transit
Prior to this appointment Amy Schlappi served as CAT's Planning & Development manager since October 2019.
Photo: CAT
The Hood River County Transportation District Board announced the appointment of Amy Schlappi to the position of executive director of Columbia Area Transit (CAT) as of late December 2021.
Schlappi will work alongside current executive director, Patty Fink, until Fink's retirement in July 2022. Prior to this appointment Schlappi served as CAT's Planning & Development manager since October 2019.
Schlappi's appointment began late December 2021, and will transition into her role over the next six months taking on full responsibility for the District in July 2022.
During her tenure with CAT, Schlappi has helped shape and expand the transportation system in Hood River County, executing projects like the Gorge Pass, and assisting in the development of an expanded Gorge-wide transportation system in partnership with other Gorge transportation providers.
Schlappi has developed community programs to improve transportation access for seniors, individuals with disabilities, low-income individuals, and Limited-English Proficiency individuals.
With support from the Columbia Gorge Health Council and the City of Hood River, she helped expand the Low-Income Pass program, and created the structured Gorge Transit Connect Program resulting in the distribution of 400 bus passes to low-income individuals in Hood River and Wasco Counties in 2021.
In addition, she expanded the Student Free-Fare Program, collaborating with the school district, schools, and families to educate students on available transit resources to meet transportation needs outside of school provided transportation. These projects helped increase awareness of public transit services in the region and have allowed the district to build partnerships with local organizations.
"Amy is an outstanding choice. She is well respected by staff, understands the day to day operations and has been instrumental in forging the necessary partnership to ensure public transit is a key part of Hood River County's transportation network," said Fink.
As Schlappi assumes the directorship, she will be responsible for managing the day-to-day operations, executing a new Transit Master Plan, and leading policy development and planning. Additional responsibilities include promoting increased use of sustainable forms of transportation like walking, biking, and transit use in the District's service area, while working to improve equity in transportation policies, programs, and services.

Crescents, however, are cozy and arty and make you feel safe. This abstract is a friendly sentry to guard your estate. More like a flock of butterflies, than a monolithic structure.

HomeSmart Acquires Mid-Atlantic Brokerage Tri Star Realty Inc.
Written by Tracey Velt
Dec 4, 2019 3:00:26 PM
HomeSmart's Newest Acquisition Catapults National Network to Nearly 18,000 Agents Across 35 States.
HomeSmart, recognized by Real Trends 500 as a top 5 residential real estate company in the United States, has acquired Mid-Atlantic brokerage TriStar Realty, Inc. and its more than 650 agents. This deal brings HomeSmart to three new territories for the brand: Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. Its nationwide network is approaching 18,000 agents and its footprint increased to 190 office locations across 35 states. Already lauded for its national growth, HomeSmart ranks in the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 and the Inc. 5000 fastest-growing private companies.
"HomeSmart is the only brokerage in the country with the right foundation and system of people, processes and technology to allow growth at this rate," said Matt Widdows, HomeSmart's founder and CEO. "In less than two decades, we've scaled our model to 35 states. Expect a similar trajectory in 2020."
In addition to its acquisition activity, HomeSmart continues its growth across its thriving network. The company was ranked on the 2019 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies across the U.S. and is going on its seventh year with the Hall of Fame designation, recognized amongst only 1.64 percent of companies on the list to achieve such ranking.
Combined national performance for HomeSmart, its franchises, and TriStar Realty, Inc. in 2018 was more than 70,000 in closed transactions. HomeSmart is deploying a skilled support team during the conversion in Maryland, to ensure continued growth for the company, without wavering from the high standard of excellence HomeSmart is known for in the industry. TriStar Realty's designated broker, Cindy Sinanan, will stay in that role as an integral part of the Mid-Atlantic team, following HomeSmart's acquisition.
"HomeSmart's commitment to its agents is unparalleled," said Sinanan. "I've worked with our agents in this region for 15 years, and I'm so excited to introduce them to HomeSmart's technology, training, and resources that will allow them to better serve home buyers and sellers in the Mid-Atlantic."

In 2021 Genneia led the placement of Green Bonds in Argentina
As reviewed from the company, in the local market, the company issued two Green ONs in August, which are currently listed on the SVS panel of ByMA, for US $ 65 million. At that time, offers were received for $ 135 million. In December, the company issued two additional Green Notes, for a total of US $ 67 million, having received offers for US $ 100 million; Therefore, in 2021, the company issued local green bonds for an amount of US $ 132 million.
"The confidence shown by the market highlights the fact that the company successfully issued a 10-year bond at a cost of 5.65%. In Argentina, and since 2011, a bond was not issued for this term. This bond was highly demanded by institutional investors, investment funds and corporations who trust Genneia in the long term, since the average life of renewable projects is 25 years ", they indicated from the firm.
On the other hand, by the end of August, Genneia reached an 83% adherence to the proposed exchange for its Negotiable Obligations due in January 2022, for a total of US $ 553 million. As a consequence of this result, the company issued, for a total of US $ 366 million, the NO Class XXXI, the first corporate green bond in Argentina in the international capital market.
"This new instrument will have a coupon of 8.75% and its maturity will be in September 2027, payable in 10 equal semi-annual installments. Likewise, this green bond is backed by the income from the Madryn Wind Farm, the largest in the country ", they detailed from the company.
"The level of investor adherence exceeded the company's initial expectations, which once again confirms the market's confidence in Genneia. In addition to its intrinsic appeal as a green bond, the early exchange 5 months before maturity, the payment in cash and in bonds contributed to the success of the transaction. Said swap not only substantially reduces the refinancing needs of the company in 2022, but also decompresses the needs to use BCRA reserves ", they remarked.
The company launched three wind projects between March and April of this year and announced days ago the construction of a new solar park in San Juan, with a capacity of 80 MW. In total, Genneia has 866 MW of installed power in 18 renewable projects.

The U series was discontinued in 2012. 10mm U series capsules may be converted to the X-R system.
The U system is a fully interchangeable and interoperable capsule and amplifier system. U amplifiers convert +12V to +48V phantom power to +9V plug-in microphone power, and generate a buffered, low-impedance output. U capsules may be used with phantom-powered U amplifiers, or can also directly connect to plug-in powered microphone inputs.
The U-D, U-M, and U-S capsules may be visually distinguished by jack color (U-D and U-M use silver, U-S uses gold), and side vent holes on the U-D capsule. U capsules may be distinguished from the X-S microphone by the powdercoated finish of the U series (the X-S has a glossy enamel finish). The U-C, U-Q, and U-O capsules may be distinguished by the presence of six vent holes on the U-C capsule and three vent holes on the U-Q capsule.
Warning: do not connect U capsules directly to phantom power using the X-S microphone's adaptor cable. U capsules are not designed to directly interface with phantom power, and may be damaged if exposed to voltage in excess of +12V!
The U-C, U-D, U-M, U-Q, U-S, and U-W capsules contain electronic de-emphasis filters that are designed for 4.8KΩ load impedance (supplied by all U series amplifiers, and tinybox's plug-in power input). When connected to a plug-in power microphone input that has significantly different impedance, the capsules' frequency response will not meet the specifications below. Upon request, the de-emphasis filters may be omitted, and any required de-emphasis should be performed in post-processing.
U capsule measurements taken connected to U-A amplifier; noise measurements taken connected to U-T amplifier.
The U-C is designed as a general-purpose directional microphone, for use on any source where off-axis rejection is important.
The U-D is intended for use on loud sources where off-axis rejection is important, and low sensitivity and attenuated high frequency response is desired. The U-D offers a tone similar to dynamic microphones in a much smaller size.
Using the same capsule as Naiant's well-regarded X-M microphone, the U-M offers flat diffuse-field frequency response and excellent transient response for realistic and accurate recordings.
The U-O's larger 10mm capsule offers lower noise and more mellow response than 6mm microphones. It is recommended for quieter acoustic sources.
The U-Q is intended for quieter sources where off-axis rejection is critical. The U-Q's far-field low frequency rolloff helps reject ambient noise sources. When placed close to a quiet source for maximum signal-to-noise ratio, the U-Q's proximity effect will yield a natural sound on the source while maintaining far-field low frequency and off-axis rejection.
The U-S capsule's lower sensitivity is especially suited for close-micing louder sources where a natural tone is desired and off-axis rejection is less important.
The U-W's pressure waveplate creates an acoustic on-axis high-frequency emphasis, which enhances the directional response of the microphone and improves on-axis signal to noise ratio. The U-W is thus designed for recording acoustic ensembles at moderate distances, but is also indicated for use on solo instruments.
The standard U-W capsule contains an electronic de-emphasis filter to generate the specified frequency response; however, upon request the de-emphasis filter may be omitted. In that case, de-emphasis should occur as a final processing step, which can reduce total system noise.
The U-8S capsule contains two 16mm cardioid capsules that are separately routed to tip and ring connectors, and thus may be used independently via the U-A or U-L amplifiers, or directly to a plug-in powered microphone input. The two resulting signals may be used as a stereo recording, or mixed to create a mono multipattern microphone.
When connected via a U amplifier to a single channel microphone preamplifier, the U-8S will yield a bidirectional (figure-8) pattern. When connected via the U-8A amplifier, the U-8S can generate a continuously variable polar pattern. The capsule marked with the blind hole is positive polarity output (front) when used with a U amplifier.
When used as a single-point stereo microphone, the capsule side marked with the blind hole is routed to ring (pin 2 output on a U amplifier; red ring XLR-M on U-SO cable) and thus should be treated as right channel.


Instagram is famous for drool worthy pictures that almost seem like digital paintings – too pretty to exist in real life. Poppy Flora and Nature Studio is an artisan flower shop in the heart of Singapore that puts all Instagram pictures to shame.
A paradise of a store, Poppy is the brainchild of owner and florist-extraordinaire Sarah Lim.
An advertiser by profession, Sarah Lim began Poppy without any formal training or experience in floral art creation or management.
What's the one thing that carried her through to the pinnacle of successes, you ask?
Just the inherent desire to do something for herself and a strong inclination towards all things nature and flowers, she says.
Sarah Lim is not just the creator of one of the most successful indie flower boutiques in Singapore – the fact that her store is Kate Spade's designated flower store for all events is testament to her growth and progress – she is also the epitome of a self-made, highly determined businesswoman.
Here's a glimpse of the insightful conversation we had with her, and a few key business lessons as takeaway from a widely popular, artisan florist.
After a long and lucrative career in advertising, managing brands such as Singapore Airlines, and AIG, Sarah decided to stop doing things for others, and do something for herself – but what? Something safe, interesting, and also recession-proof.
Exploring and expanding her interest in nature, Lim singlehandedly built up what can only be defined as a florist's haven. But it wasn't easy.
She almost quit and gave up shop two years after establishing her business before she realized that she needed to persevere because it was something for herself and not anyone else.
Take a page from her book and if you want to do something to succeed – do it for yourself only.
When it comes to offering discounts and sponsorships in order to advertise your brand, Sarah Lim's philosophy is simple: Don't.
"Brands work hard – Poppy is a brand that works very hard." She feels very strongly about bloggers, celebrities and other high-end people coming up to her brand asking for free flowers in exchange for advertisement or influencer marketing or brands giving away free tokens for word of mouth.
Irrespective of how old your brand is, know its worth and rest assured that customers will know it too. When you work hard, expect to get paid for it, because you deserve it and earned it. There's no compromising on that. Believe in what you do and it will help you grow. Don't be defeated so easily.
Often time's businesses enter into an industry blindly following onto another's path. When you talk about florists, there's endless options available in Singapore and worldwide – with much of them offering the same thing. There isn't much that sets one apart from another.
For Poppy, Sarah has always focused on building her brand and its exclusive personality – its uniqueness. In order for your business to stand out from the rest, it needs to have a distinct style that cannot be emulated by others so easily. What's more, it needs to reflect your target audience and customer base in order to be truly successful.
When you have your brand's personality down pat, rest assured the rest will follow.
According to Sarah, one of the things which helps businesses expand grow is their association with like-minded brands – those which share the same beliefs and same vibes. Interactions with similar brands allows you to be inspired, learn and expand your own horizons through another's experiences.
However, she feels that in doing so, brands often cross the line between inspirations and copying. Poppy is as successful a brand it is today because it stands firm in its core beliefs and well established styles that are loud and clear for the world to see.
There should be no room for copying or reclaiming another's ideas because there's such clarity in your own.
Be original and practice your business with integrity.
Today's predominantly digitally driven world has largely begun to discount and discredit the worth of word of mouth advertising. However, a majority of highly successful business will tell you that it is still the most traditional and fool proof way there is to market a brand.
Word of mouth works in two distinct ways.
One is when you perfect the right pitch for your brand, socialize in the right circles and introduce your business to the right patrons. The other, that's far more difficult but so much more lucrative, is depending on your consumers to pass on the word for you.
When you do a good enough job with your business and your products, you encourage your patrons to market your brand without ever having to say the words – and that my friends is the best kind of advertisement.
That's not to say that you don't rely on social media at all. A modern day tool, social media can very effectively be used for daily captures such as on Snapchat or Instagram stories which help you communicate with your audience directly.
"Social media puts you in front of people and that's very important".
Floral Artisans have effectively made their mark in the industry- setting the bar higher than ever before. If you're in the vicinity and looking to buy yourself a customised bouquet or two, or just feast your eyes on both natural beauty and corporate success, you should definitely go visit Poppy Flora and Nature Studio at The Summerhouse.

Want to be notified of new releases in edenhill/kafkacat?
kafkacat is a generic non-JVM producer and consumer for Apache Kafka >=0.8, think of it as a netcat for Kafka.
In producer mode kafkacat reads messages from stdin, delimited with a configurable delimiter (-D, defaults to newline), and produces them to the provided Kafka cluster (-b), topic (-t) and partition (-p).
In consumer mode kafkacat reads messages from a topic and partition and prints them to stdout using the configured message delimiter.
There's also support for the Kafka >=0.9 high-level balanced consumer, use the -G <group> switch and provide a list of topics to join the group.
kafkacat also features a Metadata list (-L) mode to display the current state of the Kafka cluster and its topics and partitions.
kafkacat is fast and lightweight; statically linked it is no more than 150Kb.
The bootstrap.sh build script will download and build the required dependencies, providing a quick and easy means of building kafkacat. Internet connectivity and wget/curl is required by this script. The resulting kafkacat binary will be linked statically to avoid runtime dependencies. NOTE: Requires curl and cmake (for yajl) to be installed.
Any librdkafka configuration property can be set on the command line using -X property=value, or in a configuration file specified by -F <config-file>.
If no configuration file was specified with -F .. on the command line, kafkacat will try the $KAFKACAT_CONFIG environment variable, and then the default configuration file ~/.config/kafkacat.conf.
$ echo "hello there" | kafkacat -b mybroker -H "header1=header value" -H "nullheader" -H "emptyheader=" -H "header1=duplicateIsOk"
$ kafkacat -b mybroker -L -J | jq .
You can find an image for kafkacat on Docker Hub.
If you are connecting to Kafka brokers also running on Docker you should specify the network name as part of the docker run command using the --network parameter. For more details of networking with Kafka and Docker see this post.

Glam: the Next Media Giant?
Glam Media CEO and Founder Samir Arora talks about cutting his own salary, building an ad network to rival Google, and why women rule.
By Lizette Chapman 4 minute Read
Glam Media is a rather glamorous operation in this down economy. The media network, which includes more than 1,500 women's blogs and media sites, turned a profit in October in the U.S., snagging ad dollars where others struggled. The five-year-old company has $40 million in the bank, and has built its own ad tool to rival Google's DoubleClick.
We asked CEO Samir Arora about the significance of his recent acquisition of Sportgenic, why he hasn't been paid a full salary in three years, and why advertisers love women.
Why did you start this venture?
I had an "aha" moment on a beach in Santa Barbara. I realized content and traffic were getting fragmented. A perfect storm leading to the decline of portals. So we threw away the notion of what was a media company and started Glam Media.
Are you a media company or a technology company?
Unlike Facebook, which was a technology company first, we went the opposite way. We started as a media company.
Of your 250 employees, how many are focused on the tech?
About 100. Two years ago that number was 40. In another year it will be 200.
And the rest?
In curation and and publishing, probably about 40. And in ad sales and ad packaging, about 110. That's approximate for our company's three hearts.
Three hearts?
Yes, the three pieces to our business. The first is all about finding authors and journalists. The second is technology. The third is our relationship to ad agencies and brands.
How hard is it to find good writing?
Extremely hard. We have a team of curators who look for good talent who deliver consistently over time.
So why did you invest so heavily in technology?
We realized two years ago we were one of the biggest users of DoubleClick. We launched GlamAdapt to replace DoubleClick. As of last week 100 percent of all business that was on DoubleClick is on GlamAdapt. We're delivering more ads today than all of CBS, the New York Times and Viacom combined.
How does that translate into revenue?
Over time we'll make this available to other publishers that are not part of Glam. Then it will be part of our revenue.
What is your revenue?
That's private.
You turned a profit in the U.S. last October during a pretty miserable economic time for everyone else. How'd you get in the black?
It's not our first rodeo. I've been through three downturns already. When this one hit, we were in massive expansion mode. We had just opened in the U.K., Germany, and Japan and were about to go into three other countries. But I said "no more." We wanted to make sure the economy wasn't going into a recession. Guess what? It did.
We couldn't only do layoffs. We were in the middle of scaling. So we cut salaries. It was a 50 percent cut for me, 40 percent for the rest of the management team and 10 percent variable for everyone else. The variable was tied to the company's performance. If you couldn't live on that then you couldn't stay with us. I was advised against doing it that way, but I did it anyway.
How'd that work out?
We grew 35% in revenue in a period of six quarters. All others were down. Yahoo was down 15-20%, AOL was down 30%. Our gut level instinct about the business was right. Because of that, and hard financial and cash management, we are profitable.
So you're back to normal salaries now?
The recession is not over. We are managing it. I'm still here with a 25% cut of my salary.
You've focused on compiling content for women. You've also done it for men. What's next? Tweens? Little People?
Our main focus is servicing large, saleable audiences that advertisers use. The spenders are the women. No question. Eighty-three percent of consumer spending is women. Ad money goes where the spending goes, and women are the decision makers in the buying process. That's why NBC has done so well in the downturn–they have a very strong offering for women.
You completed the acquisition of Sportgenic, the sports media ad network, last week. How will that help revenue?
It has two parts: The sports media ad network and its ad platform, AdPortal. We are integrating them now both with Brash and focusing on sports. With this, we're the No. 3 most popular men's site.
You've raised some serious VC cash. Are you looking for more?
We've raised $130 million. If we do any more fund-raising it will be to help scale up in Europe through acquisitions. As of this year in the U.S. we are at scale.
How much shopping money do you have left?
About $40 million in cash plus stock.
How has Tinker, your social media project, evolved?
It's our first Glam Labs project. We're learning a lot about social media and how it can be used for us. It's not mainstream, and we want to keep it that way.

A Tribute To The Everyday Heroes
You have not been forgotten.
Chloe Kisela
www.browardpalmbeach.com
I want to start by saying thank you. To those of you who put on that blue uniform every single morning, who fight for our freedom and safety, who risk your lives day in and day out, thank you. Officers, I promise your service has not been forgotten.
In light of recent events, I'm sure a lot of you feel unappreciated, even hated. Like what you do doesn't matter. As the police, you try to work for the good of the community, but instead people see you as villains that need to be crushed, beaten down, destroyed. They get mad and, in senseless acts of violence, decide to take their anger out on you. "Look another cop," they say. "They're all alike, and they deserve to be punished." Is this not discrimination?
What these people don't understand is that you are not the problem.
You are not the same officer that shot an innocent man in a car. You are not the same officer who tackled another man, a father, to the ground and unnecessarily took his life. No, these men are not truly officers – they may wear the uniform, they may go work with you every day but they are not the same as you. They don't hold the same values as you, ones that every police officer should have and live by: sympathy, kindness and a respect for human life. When people riot and shoot you, what they don't understand is that, for every bad cop, there are hundreds of good ones. And even though some officers forget their values, you remember. You know that your position comes with great levels of responsibility and obligation, and you live accordingly.
We're dealing with some hard times. Five innocent officers are dead after what began as a peaceful protest escalated into a sniper shooting. I know this is a mourning time, and you're probably not specifically looking for validation right now. But thank you. Thank you for keeping constant watch over our community. Thank you for pulling me over when my tail light was out, even though it terrified me at the time. Thank you for catching the criminals who rob and pillage us, so we can sleep at night. Thank you for saying goodbye to your family and going to work every morning, even though you're not sure what the day will bring. Thank you for doing your job. And thank you for being our heroes.
Even though it seems like the world has given up on you, just know that there are still people supporting you - people who care. We're grateful for everything that you do, especially in the midst of the terror that is currently going on. Your dedication to protecting the community is unrivaled, and we will never be able to repay you properly. You have shown me and countless other people what it truly means to be brave, and that not all heroes wear capes.
Thank you for all that you do.

Congrats on completing Ragbrai---that's a memory to savor!
Back from RAGBRAI. Will be on the road driving back home. Overall, a great experience. Met many good folks from all over and put up my tent each night as a remembrance of all that is good in the outdoors.
"Excellence is but for the few."
LOLThe shutters are rattling a bit.
Are you feeling "kinda lonely..."?!
Wow...RAGBRAI is quite a week I hear.... The people who we did the GAPCO trails with last year offer services for some people doing the Iowa ride. Hope it goes especially well for you!!
I might not be getting many cycling miles this month...but achieved a Bucket List item: hiking to the top of Mt Lassen. And a week later, doing Mt Scott hike at Crater Lake. Both were amazing.....especially the magical butterfly hoards at altitude (California Tortoiseshell migrations...)!! Back home this week, and back to biking more.
Wishing you the best of luck with your 7 day ride Bill. That is so amazing!! Sending prayers that your back leaves you alone and lets you enjoy your ride!! Can't wait to hear all about it.
Will be departing early tomorrow morning for Iowa, where I'll be taking part in the 7-day bike ride known as RAGBRAI. Hopefully, my lower back pains will have gone away by the time of the ride's start on 7/22.
If anyone is wanting to join in: just copy and paste the existing list to a "reply" for this post, add your own name and goals..... We'd love to have you along!!
Happy July---Make this month count!!
One ride in to start the month!
C'mon and set your own goal and ride through the month with us.
Have you washed the dishes today?

Impacts of short-term measures to decarbonize maritime transport on perishable cargoes
Thalis P. Zis, Harilaos N. Psaraftis
Department of Technology, Management and Economics
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has adopted a strategy to reduce emissions from international shipping that sets very ambitious targets. The first set of actions, so-called short-term measures, are expected to be implemented by 2023 and result in a reduction of emission intensity by at least 40% by 2030 compared with 2008 levels. Compliance may be achieved through a reduction in sailing speeds, but certain countries have raised concerns on the ramifications of longer transit times on their exports, particularly for perishable products. In this paper, we present a methodology to assess the impacts of various short-term measures on perishable products. We use an extension of a nested modal split model to examine shifts towards other modes of transport. We demonstrate our methodology with a transpacific case study carrying perishable products from South America to China. We compare the short-term measures currently under discussion, in one of the first academic studies to explore these issues. These include a speed limit approach, a power limit, and a goal-based measure. Our results show that a power limit or a goal-based measure would offer some advantages to liner shipping operators using more efficient vessels, unlike a speed limit. Using 2008 as the benchmark year has resulted in small speed reductions required by the liner shipping sector to reach its targets. For perishable cargoes, small speed reductions can be tolerated by the shippers without significant modal shift. Choosing the right short-term strategy is of utmost importance to promote clean shipping practices in the following years.

Leverage is the use of various financial instruments or borrowed capital to purchase and/or increase the potential return of investment. Assume a buyer puts 20% down on a $5M property. Essentially, they paid $1M to own something worth $5M. Assuming the property appreciates at 5% per year, the sponsor's net worth would grow to $5,250,000 in a year. Had they instead paid $1M for a $1M property, and not taken out a loan or raised the remaining $4M from other investors to buy the more expensive property, the buyer's net worth would only increase $50,000 over the first year, versus $250,000 for the more expensive property. Better leverage enables a buyer to increase their overall net worth significantly over time.
