Learning in a tool saturated world
February 4, 2020 July 8, 2021
Before my father became an engineer, he worked as a carpenter. When he worked on project around the house, it was a natural step to enlist his eldest as a helper. I was generally comfortable with basic tools by the time I left for college.
That offered an initial edge when I joined the tech crew in college. The interesting thing about tech crew in a university environment was that you couldn't make any assumptions about prior knowledge. You had plenty of smart people but most equated learning with what went on in classrooms. What happened while you were helping to build or paint a set was work and was a break from class time. There were no teachers, just a handful of fellow students who got there before you did.
What you had was a classic blue collar apprentice environment hiding inside a competitive academic environment. After key safety lessons about working around power tools, you were expected to watch and learn from fellow students. You learned how to do the work by doing the work.
This, of course, was the way that most of humanity routinely learns. But it was out of sync with what most of us had practiced and absorbed as students up to that point.
That small initial edge my dad gave me led to important side effects. I was an apprentice, but an apprentice who could quickly be handed responsibilities to shepherd other apprentices. I was both teacher and student long before I appreciated that teaching was the fastest, and often best, way to learn. I learned how to protect myself from disaster before trying a new technique. Perhaps most fundamentally, I learned that not knowing was a temporary and correctable condition.
This last lesson might be most relevant in the technology saturated world we live in. The flow of new tools and technologies is continual. Learning to use what is new becomes a three step process. Protect yourself from disaster. Run the experiment. Incorporate the successful experiments into your routine. Repeat
Just because it's cliched doesn't make it bad advice
Living the stories of astounding futures

10-Year-Old Boy in Critical Condition After Being Shot at a High School Football Game
A boy who was shot during a high school football playoff Friday night in the Jersey Shore city of Pleasantville remains in a coma, authorities said Monday.
By Sherelle Black
Micah Tennant, a 10-year-old boy from Atlantic City, is in critical condition after he was shot in the neck during a high school football game Friday in Pleasantville, New Jersey.
"He's a young kid. He's in bad shape and while I don't want to say much more, he's worthy of everybody's respect he's pulled through this," Pleasantville Police Chief Sean Riggin said to NBC10. "To be such a tough little kid, to be able to hang in there through a very critical serious injury, he's an impressive young guy. I really want to see him pull through this but he's in bad shape."
The shooting, which occurred during the third quarter of the game, left two other people injured.
A 15-year-old was shot, but has been released from the hospital. And the other person struck was allegedly the shooter's intended target: Ibn Abdullah. Authorities said Abdullah has also been charged with the shooting because he allegedly brought a firearm to the game.
Authorities have charged 31-year-old Alvin Wyatt with three counts of attempted murder and two weapons counts, according to Atlantic County Prosecutor Damon Tyner.
Tyner said the suspect was captured moments after the shooting.
NBC10 reported three other men - Michael Mack, 27, Tyrell Dorn, 28, Shahid Dixon, 27, all of Atlantic City, and Vance Golden, 26, of Pleasantville - are charged with unlawful possession of a weapon, police said. Dixon is also accused of eluding capture.
"Unlike some of the shootings that have occurred on school premises throughout the country, this incident had nothing to do with the students of Pleasantville High School or Camden High School," Tyner said over the weekend. "The venue simply presented an opportunity for criminals to pursue their own form of petty vengeance against one another. As a result, an innocent child was caught and injured in their crossfire. Our community will not be held hostage by a few idiots intent on jeopardizing our safety and the safety of our children."

Dear Kepler: How you wrung worlds from the cosmos and changed my life
Ten years after the telescope's launch, a journalist reflects on how it shaped her personally even as it revolutionized how we see the universe.

This essay is an entry in our "Dear Spacecraft" series, where we ask writers, scientists, and astronomy enthusiasts to share why they feel personally connected to robotic space explorers.
Dear Kepler,
Ten years ago, you soared into space and slipped beyond Earth's gravitational grasp, leaving a wake of fire in Florida's nighttime sky. Twinkling above you were the stars you would mine for alien worlds. Below you spun a world on the verge of a scientific revolution.
You, Kepler, are one of the most transformative spacecraft humans have ever made. But you're gone now, and though we've both known for a few years that the end of your star-studded journey was drawing near, it still feels wrong.
Exoplanets 101
For much of your time aloft, you seemed invincible: a planet-hunting probe that bravely competed in the cosmos's most challenging staring contest, in which your unblinking eye caught the flickering light from hundreds of thousands of stars. In doing so, you not only revealed that our galaxy is stuffed with planets—you helped me connect with who I am.
I am just one Earthling among billions. But 59 Earth-orbits ago, my dad devised a formula that could calculate how many extraterrestrial civilizations are detectable in our galaxy. It was a question he'd been thinking about ever since he was a kid growing up in Depression-era Chicago, wondering whether there were other planets out there, and if any were like Earth.
So, Dad thought it made sense to define the things we'd need to know if we wanted to calculate the probability of finding smart, chatty aliens.
Fast Facts: Kepler
Agency: NASA
Launch Date: March 7, 2009
Launch Vehicle: United Launch Alliance Delta II
Entered Service: May 12, 2009
End of Mission: November 15, 2018
Launch Mass: 2,320 pounds (1,052 kilograms)
Power Source: 1,100-watt solar panel array
One variable in this "Drake equation" is the fraction of stars that have planets; another is the average number of habitable worlds in a given stellar system. When my dad wrote it nearly six decades ago, no one had any idea what the values of those two variables were. After all, until the 1990s, we hadn't even spotted a single planet orbiting a star other than our sun.
Thanks to you, we now mostly know those crucial values. On average, at least one world circles each star in the sky, and roughly one-fifth of stars probably host a rocky, Earth-size planet in an orbit where the temperature is right for liquid water to trickle, pool, and wash over its surface. As well, some scientists think there's an average of one habitable world per planetary system—perhaps even more, if you consider moons and other solid objects as being life-friendly. And why not? In our neighborhood, icy moons are among the best places to look for life beyond Earth!
These numbers are revolutionary. They're telling us that if life emerges on other planets as it did here, then there are literally billions of surfaces for life-forms to fasten themselves onto and make their own. Countless Earths are hiding in our galaxy's starfields, gravitationally tethered to stars both like and very unlike our sun. And if evolving life is sculpted by its environments, as it was here, then many of those distant worlds might not only host life as we know it—but also life as we don't know it.

That you provided these insights over just a few years of tending our starry skies is remarkable. And as you were finding new worlds, I was moving into a new world of my own: science journalism.
The first time I reported on you was early 2011, when your team announced roughly 1,200 new planet candidates and a six-world system called Kepler-11. NASA had called a national press conference at the agency's Ames Research Center, and I—an intern at the San Jose Mercury News—was assigned to report the story. "No offense, but why is the Merc sending an intern to cover this? This is a major story about complicated science," one of NASA's spokespeople grumbled.
Cue: Panic.
Fresh from defending my Ph.D. in genetics, I had gleaned most of my astronomical knowledge from prints on our walls, nights observing the stars back in elementary school, and an introductory astronomy course in college. I had so many questions. Should I refer to your celestial haul as "exoplanets" or "extrasolar planets"? How precisely could I describe the sizes and orbits of the worlds you'd found? And how the hell did you go planet-hunting at all? Your methods were mystifying to me, like a language I was hearing for the first time.
So I got to work. I nervously scheduled interviews with scientists, talked my way into an early copy of the embargoed research paper, and strategically booked a hotel room so I could beat the Bay Area traffic to Ames. Afterward, I hurried back to the newsroom and dropped everything I knew into a story, while my editors wondered what was taking so long.
It ended up running on A1. Mission accomplished.
Eight years later, I've written dozens of stories about you, and now I can more easily explain the whats and hows of your incredible mission. In small patches of sky, you've spotted hints of more than 2,600 exoplanets as they traipse across the faces of their distant stars and temporarily block a sliver of starlight, which you register as a brief dip in brightness. Those fleeting smudges offer clues to a planet's size and orbit, which scientists can use to figure out what faraway worlds must be like. And the worlds you have uncovered—fiery lava planets, puffy mini-Neptunes, some orbiting two stars, some snuggled so close together that each rises in the other's sky, one maybe dragging a giant moon around—constitute the greatest garden of unearthly delights imaginable.
An illustration shows what Kepler-42, a star system 130 light-years from Earth, might look like. In 2012, Kepler detected three planets smaller than Earth orbiting this cool, dim star. As it orbits, the innermost planet gets more than 50 times closer to its star than Earth does to the sun.

How wonderful it is to exist in a time of such tantalizing strangeness. How lucky I feel to be sharing your discoveries.
But like all good adventure tales, your story had its share of obstacles. By 2013, you had lost several essential motors that let you hold still as you peered at distant stars; the cosmos would win your staring contest after all. But, though disappointed, your people weren't deterred. They figured out how to harness the pressure of sunlight itself to keep you stable as you aimed your raptor's eye at many patches of sky. Reborn as "K2," you found even more planets, planetary debris in our own neighborhood, and fistfuls of exotic, exploding stars.
And then, your fuel started running low. Your team on Earth fought their hardest to keep you going—to wring as much data as they could from your sputtering gaze—but eventually, they instructed you to rest, 388 years to the day after the death of Johannes Kepler, the astronomer whose name you bear.
It happens to the best of us; we all need a break, especially those as vigilant as you.
Now, fittingly, among all the worlds you've spotted, you will keep closest to the planet that loves you best. We both will loop around the sun together for billions of years, until our home star eventually balloons into a red giant and devours us both—an exquisite flash, perhaps, in an alien astronomer's telescope.
But know that even now, your legacy is grand and decisive. When I first showed my dad an image of your field of view—populated by all the alien planets you'd found by 2011—he responded with a sharp inhale. "So many planets…." he said, astounded.
Over the years, the view got more and more crowded.
And now, just imagine what today's children might be wondering about a cosmos so packed with possibilities, thanks to you.

More than ever technology has played a vital role in educating and connecting students to learning opportunities. With the surplus of information, including instruction, available on the Internet, and new technologies making computers increasingly portable, high schools are presented with many new opportunities for enhancing and supplementing classroom instruction through technology. The use of technologies such as virtual learning environments allows students to participate in classrooms and opportunities far from the reach of their school walls, and interact with students from across the country. Through the use of online curricula, social media outlets, virtual learning academies and assistive technology devices there is greater access for all students to enhanced education.
How can social media tools such as Facebook, wikis, and blogs be used in high schools as learning tools?
Classroom instruction is becoming increasingly involved in an essential shift from monotype lectures to the use of several technologies in delivering information. This shift can provide more dynamic and engaging sessions, as well as make available assistive learning to students with disabilities. Various types of technology, including many social media tools, are used to support and enhance classroom instruction while also evoking students' interest in the content. Social networks such as Facebook and LinkedIn have dramatically changed the way students communicate internationally and have become more prominent in the lives of all people. The educational community has a unique opportunity to tap into a vast audience of students who are already invested in, and motivated to use innovative technologies, by using this avenue to improve access to education for all students.
For the purpose of efficiently answering the question, I am going to define social media as blogs, networking sites, discussion boards, vlogs, news aggregation, photo sharing, social book marking, video sharing sites, virtual reality, and gaming which allow users to be active participants in a wide range of Internet activities. Many schools around the country are utilizing social media like YouTube and podcasts for posting lectures and encouraging students to learn even when they are not in the confines of the classroom. Furthermore, the majority of college campuses and professors commonly educate students through web sites such Blackboard, Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), and Student Information System (SIS). High school students must practice learning through such innovative methods at early stages.
When social media is adapted to curriculum and content area, these tools allow students' gained access to new information and the capacity to communicate with those around the globe. Social networking services especially engage students in new, rich, and interactive learning experiences and help them become active citizens and participants in local, national, and international affairs. The use of technology has the potential to grow into a significantly larger share of the education market and to serve more students more effectively if social media is properly utilized in the classroom.
Can you provide concrete examples in how schools and districts are using learning and assistive technologies to help students with disabilities succeed on the high school level?
The changing need of our society has increased the call for assistive technologies in educating all students. The benefits of these technologies have been profound for students with disabilities. Teachers are now able to deliver an accessible curriculum for special education students within general education classrooms, allowing all students to receive an appropriate and relevant education and necessary supports.
Assistive Technology can increase a student's self-reliance, sense of independence and overall success with working independently. Schools and districts are using assistive technologies to help students with disabilities in a variety of content areas including math, reading, writing, listening, and memorization/organization. Students who struggle with listening may benefit from the paper-based computer pen. This technology assists students by recording and linking audio to what a person writes using the pen and special paper; it enables the user to take notes while simultaneously recording someone (e.g., a teacher) speaking. The user can later listen to any section of his notes by touching the pen to his corresponding handwriting or diagrams. Over the past twenty years, math teachers and practitioners have used electronic math worksheets to help all students connect to their content. These are software programs that can help a user organize, align, and work through math problems on a computer screen. Numbers that appear onscreen can also be read aloud via a speech synthesizer and this may be helpful to students who have trouble aligning math problems with pencil and paper.
An additional resource for educators and families to find assistive technologies for students with special needs is the TechMatrix (techmatrix.org). The TechMatrix offers users the ability to customize a detailed search of products and to generate a tailored report within seconds.
Tracy Gray is the director of National Center for Technology Innovation and a managing research scientist at AIR. Tracy is a nationally recognized expert in education and technology and has led numerous projects in the United States and internationally, examining the impact of technology on educational achievement. In addition, she has published and lectured widely on issues related to the integration of emerging technologies into the classroom and after-school programs.
48 states and the District of Columbia currently support online learning opportunities that range from supplementing classroom instruction on an occasional basis to enrolling students in full-time programs. These opportunities include dual enrollment, credit recovery, and summer school programs, and can make courses such as Advanced Placement and honors, or remediation classes available to students. Both core subjects and electives can be taken online, many supported by online learning materials. While some online schools or programs are homegrown, many others contract with private providers or other states to provide online learning opportunities.

If people still can't get it right after you've color coded and labeled your trash cans to death, then what's a designer supposed to do? Come up with an even better trash can in the form of GO Recycle.
The lid of each bin actually has a molded sample of what you're supposed to throw in them. Of course, it would help if they still had their labels (or were actually made out of glass, paper and metal,) so the lids would only serve as an additional guide to help out trash throwers who aren't sure which bin their garbage is supposed to go in.

Cavite with an area of 1,287.6 square kilometers is the smallest province in the CALABARZON region. Only 30 kilometers south of Manila, it lies at the crest of a diverse community southwest of Manila Bay across the Bataan Peninsula, extending eastward along the shoreline up to the historic Zapote Bridge.
This province's name was derived from the Tagalog word kawit, which means "hook," and it prides itself for its culture and history. Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo declared the independence of the Philippines from Spain in a ceremony was also located here during the American period.
Its people's openness to the entry and exchange of culture and technology became the key to the development of this wondrous province, which is composed of three cities and 20 municipalities. Ternate, which is part of Cavite's pride, has its share of history.

District nursing is a piece of the healthcare jigsaw we can't afford to lose
16 November, 2018By Charlotte Thomas
"We cannot continue to invest in the same service models of the past. We need a radical shift in how the NHS sees itself, from a hospital service for the ill, to a nationwide service to keep us healthy."
So said health and social care secretary Matt Hancock in his keynote address to the annual general meeting of the International Association of National Public Health Institutes earlier this month.
The minister used his speech to launch Prevention is Better Than Cure – the government's vision for a new national strategy on illness prevention.
"A report from the Queen's Nursing Institute showed that numbers of district nurse students had declined"
He told delegates at the event that an "overwhelming majority" – £115bn – of the NHS budget was currently spent on acute care, while £11bn was spent on primary care, and vowed to redress the balance with a funding boost for community and primary care services.
"With an ageing society and people living with multiple complex conditions it is imperative that this rebalancing happens – to keeping people well, living in the community, and out of hospital for longer," he said.
It is therefore alarming that earlier this month fears were raised about the future of district nursing.
A report from the Queen's Nursing Institute showed that numbers of district nurse students had declined.
QNI chief executive Crystal Oldman said this decline in students was against a backdrop of a 46% plunge in district nurses since 2010.
Between 2013-14 and 2014-15, the number of people entering a district nurse specialist practitioner programme increased by 32% from 427 to 566 and stayed stable in 2015-16 at 565. However, in the last academic year the number of new students fell to 551.
There was also a 10% drop in the number of people qualifying from a district nurse specialist practitioner course in 2017, compared with 2016, and a slight reduction in universities offering the qualification, from 44 in 2016 to 42 in 2017.
Dr Oldman said funding and workforce issues were preventing healthcare bodies from releasing nurses for training.
She said provider organisations were "crying out" for more support to enable their nurses to enrol on a district nursing programme, but warned of the barriers standing in their way – namely funding to pay nurses a decent wage while they trained and finding the backfill nurses to cover students while they were studying.
Her message was clear: "At a time when more care is required to be delivered in the community, when we want to free up as many hospital beds as possible – we have the potential to fix this problem … and yet we are not investing in any kind of intentional way into that workforce. When we all need a district nurse in the future where will they be?"
Mr Hancock's message has also been clear. At the Conservative Party conference he announced a £240m funding injection for adult social care to be used to tackle winter pressures and free up hospital beds.
"Mr Hancock has been consistent in his call to protect the long-term sustainability of the NHS"
Chancellor Philip Hammond went further in his Budget and announced an additional £410m for social care. The Budget red book said: "Where necessary, local councils should use this funding to ensure that adult social care pressures do not create additional demand on the NHS. Local councils can also use it to improve their social care offer for older people, people with disabilities and children."
Mr Hancock has been consistent in his call to protect the long-term sustainability of the NHS – and in acknowledging the importance of a strengthened community healthcare sector in achieving that end.
He now needs to demonstrate that he understands exactly what that will mean and what it will need – it will mean drawing on the clinical expertise and social reach of community nurses and will need a strong and strongly protected district nursing profession. It will also need a conversation with the QNI to ensure this can – and does – happen.
Mr Hancock appears to have grasped the huge contribution the nursing profession makes to national health and wellbeing.
He must surely realise that with so many pieces of the long-term healthcare strategy jigsaw now being identified and acknowledged, overlooking and ignoring such a vital piece as the future of district nursing is not an option.
District nurse leader calls for inclusion of homeless in new NHS plan
6 November, 2018Jo Stephenson
More than 20 organisations representing nurses, outreach workers and other homelessness professionals have called on NHS England to spend more on specialist health interventions for homeless people.
Warning over decline in number of district nurse students
2 November, 2018Gemma Mitchell
Fears have been raised about the future of district nursing, as student numbers decline.
QNI leader to be recognised for support of district nursing
3 September, 2018Steve Ford
The chief executive of the community nurse organisation the Queen's Nursing Institute is to receive an honorary doctorate for her work on promoting the sector from Buckinghamshire New University.
Petition launched to ease parking restrictions for district nurses
17 August, 2018Gemma Mitchell
A petition has been launched that calls for health workers such as district nurses to be given greater parking freedoms when performing care duties in the community.
Dutch community nursing model could take pressure off district nurses
20 June, 2018Jo Stephenson
A new nurse‐led model of community care developed in the Netherlands has proved hugely popular with both patients and staff in London and could help solve some of the current problems in district nursing, according to a new study
District nurse patient contact boosted by 50% due to mobile tech
4 May, 2018Nicola Merrifield
District nurses in North Manchester have increased their patient contacts by 50%, following the introduction of mobile devices to record and share clinical information.
Investment for Scottish practice and district nurse training
30 April, 2018Steve Ford
The Scottish government is to invest £6.9m over three years for training and educating practice nurses and district nurses to "help support a sustainable 24/7 community nursing workforce".
Seeing a district nurse at work gave me a whole new perspective

On the way home from an appointment a few weeks ago, I turned the radio on, and heard actor Helen Mirren being interviewed. She was talking about the importance of self-worth. She was suggesting it was often in short supply for young people these days as they felt the value they contributed was not enough.

Sarrizabalaga Kepa
Kepa Arrizabalaga Revuelta is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper the Spain national team. He is sometimes referred to mononomously by his forename. Developed at Athletic Bilbao, he played his first professional games on loan at Ponferradina and Real Valladolid, in Segunda División. He then returned to his first club, going on to appear in 54 matches across all competitions; in 2018, he signed with Chelsea. Arrizabalaga won the 2012 European Championship with Spain's under-19 team and made his senior debut in 2017, being selected for the 2018 World Cup.
These boots were used by Kepa during his early games with Chelsea F.C. of the season 2018/2019. They are very recognizable on the the bottom picture, for the holes on both heels that were probably done due some blister's issues. On 8 August 2018, Athletic Bilbao announced on their website that Arrizabalaga had paid his required release clause (€80 million / £71.6 million), making him the world's most expensive goalkeeper only weeks after the record was set by Alisson's transfer to Liverpool. Later that day, his move to Chelsea on a seven-year contract was confirmed, replacing Thibaut Courtois who departed for Real Madrid. He made his Premier League debut three days later in a 3–0 away win against Huddersfield Town, going on to keep six clean sheets in the team's 12-match unbeaten run in the league, before a 3–1 defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur. On 24 January 2019, in the second leg of the EFL Cup semi-final, Arrizabalaga saved a penalty from Tottenham's Lucas Moura in a 4–2 shootout win at Stamford Bridge, helping his team go through to the final. On 24 February 2019, during the 2019 EFL Cup Final against Manchester City, with the match at 0–0 near the end of extra time, Maurizio Sarri called for Arrizabalaga to be substituted off for Willy Caballero for the upcoming penalty shootout; Sarri was concerned over his leg cramping a few minutes prior after making a diving save. However, Arrizabalaga refused to be substituted, gesticulating and remaining on the field. During the shootout, he saved one penalty as Chelsea lost 4–3. After the game, both Arrizabalaga and Sarri said that the situation was a misunderstanding, with Sarri incorrectly believing that Arrizabalaga was too injured with cramp to continue. Later on, Arrizabalaga met with Sarri and apologized to him and to the rest of the club. He was fined a week's worth of pay as a result of his actions, with Sarri leaving the decision of any further discipline up to the club. Arrizabalaga was dropped from the starting lineup for Caballero in Chelsea's next match, a Premier League game against Tottenham. He returned to the lineup for the following match. On 9 May 2019, Arrizabalaga saved two penalties in the shootout at the end of the second leg of the UEFA Europa League semi-final against Eintracht Frankfurt to take Chelsea to the final, which they won 4–1 over Arsenal.
After appearing for Spain's under-18s, Arrizabalaga was called up to the under-19 team for that year's UEFA European Championship. He was the starter during the tournament, as his side were crowned champions; highlights included a 3–3 semi-final success against France, where he saved two penalties in the shootout. Arrizabalaga missed the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup due to injury, being replaced in the tournament squad by Rubén Yáñez. On 8 November 2013 he was called up to the under-21 team, along with Athletic teammate Iker Muniain. Arrizabalaga was called up to the senior side on 22 March 2017 ahead of a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Israel and a friendly with France, as a late replacement for the injured Pepe Reina. He earned his first cap on 11 November of that year, playing the full 90 minutes in a 5–0 friendly win over Costa Rica in Málaga. Arrizabalaga was named in Spain's 23-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.


The Buyer Matrix Doesn't Just Sell Features, It Solves Problems.
The good news is that you don't have solve every problem, just one. The solution to even one part of complex market problem can have very significant consequences. XOEye had a forklift problem to solve.
However, we often find technology companies are speaking only to the features their product has, not what it does to solve a market problem. Today, I want to unpack that a little more and talk about the Buyer Matrix – aligning your product to solve problems, not sell features.
What is a Buyer MatrixSM?
A Buyer Matrix is an approach to marketing that seeks to position your product or service in a way that speaks to your buyer.
Ideally, you should use a Buyer Matrix to keep your messaging from getting bogged down in the technical aspects of your product and instead refocus on how the product solves problems for buyers. A Buyer Matrix is created by mapping your product's features to your target market's problems.
3. Now, compare these two lists and draw a line from your product features to the problems they solve. That's it. That defines the many branches of a Buyer Matrix.
Here's the rub. If you weren't able to map many (or any) of your features to market problems, your marketing and messaging is falling on deaf ears. It makes sense to you and your team, but not to your customers.
If you can't map your Buyer Matrix, then go back to your lists. Start with the market problems and reframe your features to fit those. Then build your key messaging around your new Buyer Matrix. Your customers will start to listen, because you're talking their language now.

Why Authors Need a Sense of Humor
The book, A Spell for Chameleon, first published in 1977 was my introduction to Piers Anthony. I was immediately bewitched by his fantastical vision of a truly magical world, and I loved the fact that he placed it in Florida. His world of Xanth was a place where magic is as intrinsic to life as oxygen, and that notion has intrigued me ever since. The concept of making magic a fundamental requirement for life is one that makes complete sense to me. Not only that, he did it with laugh-out-loud humor using puns and hokey jokes that were transformed into hilarious prose under his pen.
That book was one of the better books I had ever read, and it began a lifelong love affair with the work of Piers Anthony. The Xanth series is one long running pun after another. Besides the witty prose and creative plots in this series, the covers of his books were good. I have been well-known as a person who will buy a book for the cover, and that is exactly how I stumbled onto this series.
I learned several things from Piers Anthony and his Xanth series, the first of which is that Good Covers Sell Books. I also saw that a true artist can take the most common, overused puns and turn them into the framework of an adventure novel. I admit I did lose interest at about book ten, but even so, Piers Anthony still manages to have fun with it, and he still sells books. The Xanth series is incredibly popular, and deservedly so.
The series Anthony wrote that really captured my imagination, and which in my mind still reigns as his best work is the Apprentice Adept series, beginning with Split Infinity, Blue Adept, and Juxtaposition.
Piers Anthony has had one of the most prolific and highly regarded writing careers ever, with more than 150 published works to his credit. The 41st novel in his Xanth series, Ghost Writer in the Sky, will be published in April of 2017. His sharp wit and amazing gift for world building are legendary, and he has won numerous awards for his work.
But what reading his incredible body of work and following his career really has taught me is that even when things around you have gone to hell (as things are wont to do) the author has the craft of writing to provide an escape from the TRUE weirdness of real life.
Anyone who has read his official Wikipedia biography knows Piers Anthony has had a long life with many personal challenges, through all of which I am sure writing was (and is) his refuge. His novels usually end with an author's note, in which he talks about himself, his life, and his experiences as they related to the process of writing the novel. He has the rebellious spirit of an indie, refusing to be bullied by his publishers, suing them (and winning) when things became unworkable. He is a champion of the eBook movement, for which we indies can be grateful.
Every author I know has struggled in their personal life. During the years I was raising my children, I had three failed marriages, worked three part-time jobs, and struggled to find time to write. I raised my kids in a trailer park because I owned the trailer and could afford to live there. Two of my children have epilepsy, and both are "on the spectrum" as they say nowadays. Writing was an escape to keep me sane when nothing was certain except my children were in terrible trouble, and the doctors didn't know why and couldn't cure it.
In reality, nothing has changed on the epilepsy front. My children sometimes have seizures, and we have learned to laugh and enjoy our life despite the occasional setback. But those rough years spent in hospitals as my son or daughter recovered from injuries incurred during a seizure forged my writing.
Knowing an author like Piers Anthony has endured the worst personal losses a parent can imagine, yet managed to keep his sense of humor and write brilliant books gave me hope. It drove me to keep doing what I could, trying to make silk purses from the sows' ears of my work in those dark moments when I felt most discouraged.
It's clear that writing has been the one thing Piers could count on. Life continues to throw curve balls at him, but he still finds the humor in life, which is what all writers must do especially when times are difficult.
Life is a journey, and you never know what lies around the corner, but a sense of humor can be a solace when nothing else is. Wikipedia, the fount of all knowledge, says: Gallows humor has the social effect of strengthening the morale of the oppressed and undermines the morale of the oppressors. According to Wylie Sypher, "to be able to laugh at evil and error means we have surmounted them."

HUD sees 20% rise in 'worst case' housing
By Mary Ellen Podmolik
The number of households forced to spend more than half of their monthly income on rent and possibly also live in severely substandard conditions rose by more than 20 percent between 2007 and 2009, the federal government said Tuesday.
Almost 7.1 million low-income households were defined as having "worst case housing needs" as a result of joblessness, rising rents and a general lack of affordable rental housing. Get the full story »

Couple denies charges in Willborn race-bias case
The home that the Willborns wanted to buy at 3300 S. Normal Ave. in Bridgeport. (Chris Sweda/Chicago Tribune)
The Bridgeport couple accused of violating fair housing laws in the failed sale of their million-dollar home are refuting Justice Department charges that they refused to sell it to an African-American family.
In separate responses filed this month with U.S. District Court in Chicago, Daniel and Adrienne Sabbia deny that they engaged in discriminatory housing practices in their dealings with George and Peytyn Willborn, who made several offers to purchase the Sabbia's sprawling Bridgeport home.
The Sabbias also deny that Daniel Sabbia told listing agent Jeffrey Lowe that Sabbia would prefer not to sell the home to an African-American but that he didn't care who bought it if the price was right, and deny that Lowe forwarded a sales contract to the Sabbias for signature.

But Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan insisted the government would "take every action" to press banks to fix paperwork problems at the core of a foreclosure crisis that has put major financial firms on the hot seat. Get the full story »

Bridgeport couple sued for housing discrimination
Radio personality and comedian George Willborn arriving at a press conference to talk about the discrimination suit on Aug. 26, 2010. (Heather Charles/Chicago Tribune)
The federal government filed a civil lawsuit Monday against a couple living in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood and their real estate agent, for allegedly refusing to sell their home to an African-American family.
The filing, made in U.S. District Court in Chicago, names as defendants Daniel and Adrienne Sabbia; their real estate agent, Jeffrey Lowe; and Midwest Realty Ventures, which does business as Prudential Rubloff Properties.
The lawsuit was expected. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development originally filed a federal housing discrimination complaint last month against the parties after it determined that Chicago radio personality George Willborn's failed efforts to buy the Sabbias' home was the result of housing discrimination. The case was moved to the Justice Department in late August. Get the full story »

Willborn race-bias case heads to Justice Dept.
George Wilborn at the Dirksen court house this morning. (William DeShazer/Tribune)
The U.S. Justice Department is taking over the case of Chicago radio personality George Willborn, who allegedly was the victim of racial discrimination because of his family's failed efforts to buy a home in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development filed a federal housing discrimination complaint this month against Bridgeport homeowners Daniel and Adrienne Sabbia, Prudential Rubloff Properties and real estate agent Jeffrey Lowe. HUD said they violated the Fair Housing Act when the Sabbias backed out of a verbal agreement to sell the $1.799 million home to the Willborns, who are African-American.
The matter could have been handled as an administrative case by HUD or in the federal court system by the Justice Department. The Willborns elected to transfer the matter to federal court, which means the Justice Department has, by statute, 30 days to file a case. The transfer to the federal court system means the Willborns could be eligible to receive punitive damages as well as compensatory damages from a jury. Get the full story »

HUD files race-bias suit in Bridgeport home sale
Comedian George Willborn (Tribune file)
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has filed a charge of housing discrimination against a Bridgeport family and a prominent realty firm for refusing to sell a million-dollar-plus home to local comedian and radio personality George Willborn and his family.
HUD alleges that Daniel and Adrienne Sabbia and their real estate agent, Jeffrey Lowe of Prudential Rubloff Properties, violated the Fair Housing Act when they discriminated against Willborn, his wife, Peytyn and their family for not following through with the sale of an amenity-filled 8,000-square-foot home at 3300 S.

HUD to hear from LGBT community at City Hall
By Mary Ellen Podmolik | The federal government is looking to Chicago to help it determine
whether the nation's housing policy needs to be changed to safeguard the
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will conduct a
town hall meeting at City Hall Thursday as it begins a national study
on housing discrimination that's conducted every 10 years. In what it
calls a "ground-breaking" move, the agency also will study rental and
for-sale housing discrimination in the LGBT community.

2. Browse the shelves
Note: you will not be able to see all the films the Library has by browsing the shelves. Many of the films are out on loan at any one time. Browse the catalogue instead (see above) and you can identify all the titles the Library have and put a reservation on those out on loan so that the people currently using them will get an alert to bring them back for you.
However, if you do want to browse to see what is still on the shelves, go to the AV room on the ground floor of the Library's Harry Fairhurst building, find the DVDs (these start at the farthest end of the room) then locate the classmark LP 4.3098. The classmarks will have extra numbers on the end but all non-English language films begin with LP 4.3098.

Links to conference papers online
Conferences are a place where experts in specialist areas will present on topical issues or first give details of new work before they ever publish a paper on the topic. The papers presented at conferences can be a useful source of information, and helpful when trying to find out who the current experts are in a particular area.
Many papers are freely available on the web whereas others are not made available in this way. If you are new to an area is not always easy to work out which conferences to look for.
The following sites give information about conferences and allow you to book onto them but via these links you can often also get papers from previous years' conferences.

Q: EOFException from Kafka in Flume I am trying to set up a simple data pipeline from a console Kafka producer to the Hadoop file system (HDFS). I am working on a 64bit Ubuntu Virtual Machine and have created separate users for both Hadoop and Kafka as was suggested by the guides that I have followed. Consuming the produced input in Kafka with a console consumer works and the HDFS seems to be up and running.
Now I want to use Flume to pipe the input into the HDFS. I am using the following configuration file:
tier1.sources  = source1
tier1.channels = channel1
tier1.sinks = sink1

tier1.sources.source1.type = org.apache.flume.source.kafka.KafkaSource
tier1.sources.source1.zookeeperConnect = 127.0.0.1:2181
tier1.sources.source1.topic = test
tier1.sources.source1.groupId = flume
tier1.sources.source1.channels = channel1
tier1.sources.source1.interceptors = i1
tier1.sources.source1.interceptors.i1.type = timestamp
tier1.sources.source1.kafka.consumer.timeout.ms = 2000

tier1.channels.channel1.type = memory
tier1.channels.channel1.capacity = 10000
tier1.channels.channel1.transactionCapacity = 1000

tier1.sinks.sink1.type = hdfs
tier1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.path = hdfs://flume/kafka/%{topic}/%y-%m-%d
tier1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.rollInterval = 5
tier1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.rollSize = 0
tier1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.rollCount = 0
tier1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.fileType = DataStream
tier1.sinks.sink1.channel = channel1

Now when I run Flume with the following command
bin/flume-ng agent --conf ./conf -f conf/flume.conf -Dflume.root.logger=DEBUG,console -n tier1

I get the same exception in the console output over and over again:
2017-10-19 12:17:04,279 (lifecycleSupervisor-1-2) [DEBUG - org.apache.kafka.clients.NetworkClient.handleConnections(NetworkClient.java:467)] Completed connection to node 2147483647

    at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:624)
    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748)

The only way to stop Flume is to kill the Java process.
I thought that it might have something to do with the separate users for Hadoop and Kafka, but even when running everything with the Kafka user I get the same result. I haven't found anything concerning the EOFException method online either, which is strange considering that I have just followed the "Getting Started" guides and used pretty standard configurations for everything.
Maybe it has something to do with the preceding line ("Ubuntu-Sandbox/127.0.1.1 disconnected") and hence the configuration of my VM?
Any help is highly appreciated!

A: Have you considered using Kafka Connect (part of Apache Kafka) and the HDFS connector instead? This is generally seen to have superseded Flume. It is easy to use, with a similar file-based configuration as Flume.

Carrboro: The worst developments are those that we don't discuss
by Martin Johnson September 12, 2022 September 12, 2022
Early this morning, Carrboro resident Ray Lovinggood shared a few pictures he captured on his morning route.
More unaffordable housing for Carrboro, NC. pic.twitter.com/SaB1IBFjog
— Ray Lovinggood (@RayLovinggood) September 12, 2022
While my first reaction was, like yours, shock at the price tag of these homes, my concern grew as I realized that these homes will be built on an 8.5 acre site near McDougle Elementary and Middle Schools and MLK, Jr. Park.
At a similar site (710 N. Estes) in Chapel Hill, a developer is proposing to build 95 homes. As we discussed last month, this project has drawn heated criticism from both nearby neighbors and the town's advisory boards.
If someone were planning to build apartments on this site, we suspect it would have the same reaction. Instead, the project was more or less approved as the developer proposed it, in part because it complies with Carrboro's land use rules.
As TBB's Geoff Green notes, "The land is zoned R-20, which means a minimum 20,000 square foot lot, 100 foot lot width, 40 foot front setback, 35 foot maximum height, and the only thing you can build without special approval is single-family homes. Carrboro's getting exactly what it zoned for."
This project was first approved back in 2019. While Carrboro recently approved a new Comprehensive Plan, and will soon be reforming its land use rules, this development is going under construction because it complies with Carrboro's existing rules.
When you visit Martin Luther King Jr. park in Carrboro, a few blocks from the new development, you'll observe several town murals, which, unlike many tributes to the civil rights leader, retain his pointed critiques of American society, many of which hold true today.
While Carrboro does many things well, when it comes to land use policy we still value $900,000 single family homes over providing housing for people for all income levels. If you have a million dollars and want to live in our community, Carrboro will welcome you, smoothing your entrance for even new construction on a previously wooded lot.
If, on the other hand, you make much less than that, Carrboro will instead make your life difficult. Any housing you might be able to reasonably afford will be caught up in acrimonious fights about trees, traffic, and community values. (Related: Carrboro's housing crossroads: Which direction will we go?)
With this new project on Hillsborough, we're losing 8.5 acres that could have been an apartment building or townhomes with dozens of affordable units. We need to change our land use rules so the next developer is able to build the housing we need, not the housing that only a few millionaires can afford.
