Administravia 030818: Added Navigation
I was asked by a reader to add categories and links for videos; I actually added three new categories, one for short videos, another for long videos, and a third for written posts. You can find these under the bottom menu item on the left. I am having a problem with the menu not showing up correctly, so I move the resources under the third menu item, as well.
Finally, I added a new archive page, which shows you all the posts in the “left” category across the three years this blog has been “in production.” I couldn’t figure out how to narrow things down so pictures and other stuff are not included, so there is more on the page than needed right now, but it’s a start.

Pushing Greater Stream Processing Platform Evolution
Today’s episode of “The Interview” with The Next Platform is focused on the evolution of stream processing—from the early days to more recent times with vast volumes of social, financial, and other data challenging data analysts and systems designers alike.
Our guest is Nathan Trueblood, a veteran of several companies like Mirantis, Western Digital, EMC, and current VP of product management at DataTorrent—a company comprised of many ex-Yahoo employees who worked with the Hadoop platform and have pushed the evolution of that framework to include more real-time requirements with Apache Apex.
Trueblood’s career has roots in high performance computing …

Kate Ekanem: Promoting the Education, Literacy, and Empowerment of Girls in Nigeria
While the personal is almost always political, sometimes the person affected takes action that changes the course of history. That’s what Kate Ekanem has done. The founder of Kate Tales Foundation has spent her entire adult life promoting education, literacy, and empowerment of girls in her home country of Nigeria. And it started with herself.
“I was born into a family stuck with intense adversity, and a rural community with no access to quality education, basic health facility, reliable or no Internet facility, or social and educational opportunities,” Ekanem said. “There was no public library, no clean water, poor power supply, and streets filled with littered debris. Girls were resolving to getting pregnant [by] older men to escape the sting of poverty they were born into.”
After losing her mother at the age of two, Ekanem struggled as the only girl in a family of half-brothers. Her education took a backseat to the boys—something that she never fully accepted.
“I know what it feels like to rise in the morning and have nothing to eat. I know what it feels like to have an unending burning question, but dare not ask, because girls were not supposed to talk when Continue reading

Is the IETF is behaving irresponsibly in attempting to place as much of the Internet’s protocols behind session level encryption as it possibly can?Announcing The Packet Pushers Virtual Design Clinic Series
Many of you tell us that traveling to tech conferences is not going to happen. You can’t get the time out of the office. You can’t get the expense approved. Your boss thinks you’ll be rolling down the boulevard in a limo drunk five minutes after the plane lands. Whatever your reasons, you’re not going […]Makkiya Jawed: At The Intersection of Technology and Medicine
The intersection between technology and medicine is perhaps one of the most important junctions of our time, and, in a world where access is king, many people—in fact, entire countries—can be left behind in the dust. That’s where Makkiya Jawed comes in as the director of social enterprise for Sehat Kahani in Pakistan.
The tech wiz joined forces with two doctors who launched the health tech enterprise, which circumvents Pakistan’s tradition of women having to choose family or career. It also caters to populations often overlooked by established medical communities.
“Sehat Kahani is a tele-health platform that aims to democratize healthcare via nurse-assisted video consultations by ensuring quick access, prevention and efficiency for healthcare,” Jawed explained.
Dr. Sara Saeed Khurram and Dr. Iffat Zafar, the co-founders of Sehat Kahani, both encountered the socio-cultural barriers to healthcare, but instead of giving up, they used their medical background to “democratize healthcare by building an all-female health provider network to deliver quality healthcare,” Jawed said. “They are the people who have taught me the power of team work and the importance of patience and dedication…In all honesty, whatever I have learned, they have had a major role to play in it. And the best thing is, they Continue reading
