This book is the 1st compendium of my life story and work. I have lived experience of bipolar 1, and a vision disability, and that informs everything I’ve done. Looking back at the past decade of my life, and all I’ve accomplished to date, I can see it all in perfect focus, and I can see the guiding will of God moving through my life, bringing me through my relationships, and setting me on the paths I’ve not just walked, but the paths I’ve paved. I’ve organized and build communities 150+ members strong I’ve built a company and game project off of the fuel of passion alone. I’ve not just influenced but have literally saved lives. I’ve done research summarizing and highlighting my findings, so others can carry on the legacy of Honor I’ve started The journey has been long, and it’s been hard, but as I write this, I’m beginning a new chapter of my life, and I couldn’t be humbler and prouder. This book includes all the people, communities and projects I care about, and what has shaped me into the man, leader, and founder I am today. I hope this lived experience of Bipolar 1 helps break the stigma shrouding mental health, both in general, and specifically in the creative industries I’ve been privileged to be a part of. I wish to continue a dialog on these subjects, and show that Mental health issues are indeed double-edged swords that are core to who we are. This book contains select documents of snap shots in time of my Tiberium Secrets mod, a passion project that looks to the future of the Command & Conquer video game franchise. This book contains a new theory and model of mental health that is called “The PPF Model” = The Past Present and Future model, which aims to ground mental health discussions in common understandable terms. Thanks to all the unsung heroes in my life, I would not be who I am without all of you. It’s time for a new challenge. The Future is Bright!

Today's network is about agility, automation, and continuous improvement. In Kafka Up and Running for Network DevOps, we will be on a journey to learn and set up the hugely popular Apache Kafka data messaging system. Kafka is unique in its principle to treat network data as a continuous flow of information that can adapt to the ever-changing business requirements. Whether you need a system to aggregate log messages, collect metrics, or something else, Kafka can be the reliable, highly redundant system you want. We will begin by learning about the core concepts of Kafka, followed by detailed steps of setting up a Kafka system in a lab environment. For the production environment, we will take advantage of the various public cloud provider offerings. Next, we will set up our Kafka cluster in Amazon Managed Kafka Service to host our Kafka cluster in the AWS cloud. We will also learn about AWS Kinesis, Azure Event Hub, and Google Cloud Put/Sub. Finally, the book will illustrate several use cases of how to integrate Kafka with our network from data enhancement, monitoring, to an event-driven architecture. The Network DevOps Series is a series of books targeted for the next generation of Network Engineers who wants to take advantage of the powerful tools and projects in modern software development and the open-source communities.
Chou Wen-chung is one of the most influential musical figures of our time. His rich cultural background, his studies with Edgard Var and his interest in the genuine rapport between Eastern and Western musical traditions have been the major influences on his career. Although he is active in various artistic and cultural circles that include scholarship, education and cultural preservation, his major calling has always been composition. As a composer, Chou has created a group of works whose stylistic innovation and technical profundity are distinctive among composers of his generation. His music, which has received critical acclaim around the globe, documents his creative journey, especially in the realization of re-merger - the fusion of Eastern and Western music that has become a new mainstream in art music. Through extensive focus on sketch study, Eric Lai examines Chou's music to contribute to an understanding of his aesthetic orientation, his compositional technique, his role in the development of new music, and his influence upon the younger generation of composers.
