She Said, the new film about the exposure of Harvey Weinstein, keeps its focus on the disgraced movie producer and poster villain for #MeToo — but misses a chance to expose the "girl bosses" who protected him for years.
Still from She Said. (Universal Pictures)
Maria Schrader's She Said, a feature film based on a book by New York Times reporters Jodi Kantor (Zoe Kazan) and Megan Twohey (Carey Mulligan), about their 2017 investigation that helped bring down Harvey Weinstein, is a decent, at times even inspiring, movie about women journalists helping workers to expose a horrible, exploitive, and very powerful boss. Weinstein, the disgraced megaproducer accused of either harassment or assault by some seventy women, reached millions of dollars' worth of settlements with more than thirty of them after exposés by the Times, as well as the New Yorker. He has come to symbolize the worst of male boss behavior and is now serving prison time for rape.
While public curiosity naturally centered on the famous actresses accusing Weinstein of sexual assault and harassment — including Ashley Judd, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Rose McGowan — the movie commendably gives more attention to the unfamous and powerless assistants who suffered under Weinstein. It also conveys the structural powerlessness many women experienced: although he was, as a sexual predator, exceptionally brazen and ruthless, Weinstein was also like many American bosses in that he ran his workplace as an absolute dictatorship, with workers terrified to defy him.
That said, She Said has some blind spots typical of liberal entertainment media: a lionization of mainstream journalism and, more seriously, a failure to reckon fully with how deeply girl-boss feminism is implicated in the Weinstein story.
The movie continues the relentless propagandistic journalism hagiography that has been culturally voguish of late — a trend we have written about before — and in that spirit, She Said makes the Times itself too central to a story that should instead focus on the experience of working for Weinstein. Kanton and Twohey did great work on this story, but there's nothing especially fascinating about these journalists and no reason to make them the main characters.
Since the movie came out, Weinstein has come to symbolize, for liberal feminists, everything wrong with patriarchy — or, as they less precisely tend to call it, "misogyny." But their brand of feminism must bear its share of the blame for enabling malefactors like Weinstein.
Let's first recall that Weinstein's studio, Miramax, was associated with mainstream-yet-edgy films whose sensibilities were more notably feminist than standard commercial Hollywood. He made movies directed by women and about women, as he pointed out in 2019 in an interview with the New York Post shortly before going on trial for rape in Manhattan. For this reason, many powerful women directors and producers overlooked or enabled his abuses and even covered for him, as Ronan Farrow's reporting for the New Yorker showed. Donna Gigliotti, director of Miramax's 1998 hit Shakespeare in Love, for example, discouraged Farrow from writing the story but Farrow later learned that she had known about Weinstein's abuses for decades.
Weinstein was a major ally and Hollywood ambassador for Hillary Clinton, a figure who, along with her loyalists in the media, has long cast support for or opposition to her personal political ambitions as an important gauge of an individual's feminist credentials. Weinstein was a major donor to each of Clinton's campaigns — Senate and presidential. He gave far more money to Clinton — both as a donor and as a bundler (raising money from other donors) — than to any other Democrat. They were also socially friendly: it's easy to find numerous warm and festive photos of them partying together, like this one and this one. When Weinstein's extensive crimes came out, Clinton brushed it off, but many assumed she must have known.
There's almost no question that Clinton had at least heard the rumors. Farrow reported that Lena Dunham, the creator of Girls, knew about Weinstein's actions and had warned Clinton's campaign staff that he could be a political liability for her. "Harvey is a rapist and this is going to come out at some point," Dunham said, accurately, in an exchange that doesn't reflect well on Clinton or her campaign.
Nor does it reflect well on Dunham, but at least she's been honest about it. Dunham has written that in 2016, the year before the Times story broke, she performed at a Weinstein benefit for Clinton, and shook his hand, despite having "heard the rumors." Dunham called the evening "a betrayal of my own values," writing in 2017, "I'm sorry that I shook the hand of someone I knew was not a friend to women in my industry."
She Said offers some intriguing glimpses of the role of such girl-boss feminists in covering for Harvey. In one scene, a woman gets a call from one of her former bosses, and a female voice urges her not to talk with any journalists about Weinstein; the call angers the recipient, who then picks up the phone to return the Times reporter's call.
Another scene rightly nails Linda Fairstein, the former Manhattan district attorney once celebrated for her dedication to prosecuting sex crimes, showing her taking a call from Twohey, who asks her bluntly about her role in quashing a criminal complaint about Weinstein. Fairstein became infamous as an icon of carceral feminism for her role in the case of the Central Park Five, a group of black teenagers who ended up falsely convicted of raping a white woman in the park in 1989. Fairstein was shown to have engineered false confessions from the boys. An appeals court judge described her conduct in unusually strong terms: "I was concerned about a criminal justice system that would tolerate the conduct of the prosecutor . . . Fairstein wanted to make a name for herself. She didn't care. She wasn't a human."
Fairstein's enthusiasm for prosecuting accused rapists apparently did not extend to her powerful friends. The Times reporting showed that Fairstein intervened to help kill a complaint against Weinstein in 2015, when she was no longer district attorney but still well-connected in the office. Fairstein, despite being willing to ruin the lives of poor black teenagers accused of sexual violence, not only used her connections to help Weinstein get out of trouble, but also provided consultation to his legal team. She had written about her dreams that Weinstein would buy the rights to her books. The place of Fairstein in the Weinstein saga, however, is only fleetingly rendered in She Said.
She Said is a good movie — a well-paced thriller that gives us a solid appreciation of the important work of investigative journalism and of the horrific hell that bosses force women to endure. But given the Weinstein story's central place in the canon of liberal feminism, it's long past time to interrogate the role that its iconic girl bosses played in this disgraceful saga. Sadly, She Said gives them short shrift.

Think You Might Have Regular Old Flu? You're Gonna Need to Get COVID Tested Anyway
The flu and COVID-19 can have almost exactly the same symptoms, so there's only one good way to know for sure what you're sick with
It's really, really important to get your flu shot this year, even more so than in previous years. While the flu shot won't protect you from COVID, it's still a proven way to lessen the odds of getting sick and ensuring that health-care professionals can continue to focus their efforts on the pandemic. On top of the flu shot, hopefully all that careful handwashing and social distancing you're continuing to do will mean you and your family avoid the flu entirely this year. But say you start feeling a little feverish one day this winter, or maybe develop a cough and runny nose. How are you supposed to know whether this is your run-of-the-mill flu, or a case of COVID-19?
There's only one sure-fire way to find out, and that's by getting tested. The flu and COVID can have very similar symptoms: Loss of taste or smell is one of the few symptoms that distinguishes COVID from the flu, but it doesn't appear in all cases. It typically takes a few more days for COVID symptoms to develop after exposure compared to the flu, but both can emerge within the same two- to five-day window. According to the CDC, some of the shared symptoms between the two illnesses include fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, body aches, chills, sore throat, headache and occasionally stomach issues. Both illnesses can present all of these symptoms, or only a select few. For that reason, it's almost impossible to distinguish them based on symptoms alone.
Read next: Is It Easier to Lie While Wearing a Mask?
Fortunately, there are tests for COVID and the flu. Because COVID might present a higher risk of complications for yourself and those around you, it's a bit more important to know whether you definitely have COVID or not, rather than whether you have the flu or not. It's also possible to have the flu and COVID at the same time, meaning that just getting a flu test alone might not be the best use of your time. Regardless, your doctor is going to be the one to make these decisions for you. If ensuring that you do in fact have the flu becomes essential for your treatment, they may have you tested for the flu specifically.
For both COVID and the flu, one of the main purposes of testing is to mitigate spread. Both can be deadly for particular groups, but severity and recovery can vary widely between the two. If you start feeling sick this winter, getting a COVID test will at least help you ascertain whether you need to potentially put yourself in a strict quarantine for weeks at a time and take part in contact-tracing, or whether you can likely expect to recover within a few days. Either way, experiencing any symptoms that align with COVID — even if it might just be a cold — is good cause to reach out to your doctor to determine your course of action.

MADISON, Wis. (July 31, 2018) - Nearly 7,500 students received degrees during the University of Wisconsin-Madison's spring commencement ceremonies, May 11-12, 2018. The ceremony for doctoral, MFA and Medical Degree graduates was May 11 at the Kohl Center, bachelor's, master's and law graduates received their degrees May 12 at Camp Randall.
Chancellor Rebecca Blank told graduates they've been educated in the proud tradition of the Wisconsin Idea — the commitment to public service. She urged graduates to focus on the question, "What am I doing for others? If you keep asking that question, you will keep finding ways to use your knowledge and skills to make the real world a little better," she said.
During his remarks, David Muir, anchor of "ABC World News Tonight," emphasized two themes: our shared humanity and the need to overcome fear.

A Big Welcome to September and the delights of Autumn! We have been longing for the invigorating cooler temperatures, brighter day time and night time skies, the seasonal changes of landscape colors, the sounds of our graceful guests from Canada as they soar over area lakes and skies.
The busy Fall schedules and activities are evident everywhere with heavier traffic patterns. So many athletic and educational events and long check-out and admission lines. Our Mississippi Association of Realtors convention is in early October where Adam will be installed as the 2019 State President. Our team will be in full support at his inaugural event in Pointe Clear, Alabama- a big celebration, indeed!
Just four more short months in 2018! A wake-up call to review our personal and professional goals for 2018 that are yet to be met. Checking my own list, I note that Lavon and I have not cruised the Mississippi River on the Mississippi Queen. I also observe that my 20 pound weight loss goal is stuck between 3-4- ugh! There are a few of you on our mailing list who could remind me that your property does not yet have a SOLD sign on it. I pledge to you and to myself that I will use that extra energy from upcoming cooler temperatures to focus with renewed vigor! Thankfully, our entire team is focused on generating the best possible results!
Christy McLemore, team listing coordinator, recently studied the 13 listings which our team has listed this year after a competing real estate company failed to sell. The findings were pretty amazing! The 13 properties were listed by the other real estate companies for an average of 268 days. After our team listed these same properties, they were all sold within an average of 59 days. This "team difference" makes these results achievable!
Another interesting fact was recently brought to our attention by Christy's research. In 2018, our team has sold 23% more of our listings taken than other competing companies in our area MLS and 13% more of our listings than our closest competitor. Of course, this does not mean that we accomplish the sale of every property; however, selling every listed property is our goal!
Congratulations to Ki Bradford, team Client Care Specialist! She was accepted and is now enrolled for evening classes in the Masters of Communications program at USM. Ki expects to complete the program in 2019.
New Fall Inventory- Go to our website (www.allstarteam.com) to view some interesting new properties coming on the market this month! Also, note that some of the properties on larger lots or on a lake or golf course have drone videos available including some community amenities.
Midtown in Motion- A new face has already developed between US Highways 59 and 49 and beyond on Hardy Street into Southeast Hattiesburg and below US 59, especially the former Oak Grove strip shopping area. Forrest General Hospital, Hattiesburg Clinic, and USM are central and critical foundations for the new development which is rapidly taking shape. Hotel Indigo, the first of this world-wide chain of boutique hotels in Mississippi, is now open for business. In addition to trains and timber which represent Hattiesburg's history, Hattiesburg's Indigo features Camp Shelby Joint Forces Training Center and the University of Southern Mississippi.
"Midtown" is the new buzz word in the residential community, and it has already begun to impact home vales and demand. We are grateful to the visionary leaders and investors who have so successfully launched this far-reaching, quality of life development for our greater Hattiesburg area.
Truly, it is an exciting time in the life of our Hattiesburg area. While we share an abundance of challenges, we are grateful for the many opportunities before us. We trust we will be good stewards of our numerous resources.
It is a joy for our team to have the privilege to serve as your Realtor. Happy and blessed Autumn to each of you!

It's no secret that we love local charities that empower youth through board sports. Knowing how much joy surfing has brought to my life it's great to find organizations that extend these opportunities to underserved youth like The Chill Foundation. We talked with Rachel Isreeli, who is Chill NYC Local Manager, to find out more about the foundation, their new surfing program in the city, and their fundraiser this Saturday (8/24) in Brooklyn.
Tell us a little bit about The Chill Foundation and how you got involved.
The Chill Foundation is a non-profit youth development organization that provides the opportunity for at-risk and underserved youth to build self-esteem and life skills through board sports. Chill was started in Burlington, VT in 1997 by the founders of Burton Snowboards to bring snowboarding to young people who otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity. Since then, Chill has expanded to new cities, new sports and new countries: The Chill NYC program began in 1998 and partners with Mountain Creek in New Jersey during the winter.
I first got involved with Chill NYC as a Local Coordinator during winter 2010-2011. I grew up in Brooklyn but was fortunate enough to spend winters at the mountains (my father didn't want to have kids because he thought it would mean the end of skiing). I had also been teaching middle school in Harlem and was involved in youth development work regarding intimate violence and criminal justice. For me, Chill was an exciting and meaningful way to unite my passions.
Chill NYC partners with local community-based social service agencies and schools to provide the opportunity for inner-city youth to challenge themselves in new and exciting environments. We use board sports as a vehicle for change, while focusing on our weekly themes of respect, patience, persistence, responsibility, courage and pride. At the time that I got involved, Chill NYC (like the other sites) was only providing snowboarding opportunities. A year ago in August 2012, I became Chill NYC's first ever full-time Local Manager to develop year-round programs including surfing and skateboarding. This summer, Chill NYC initiated our first surfing program in the Rockaways in partnership with Locals Surf School and Aloha NYC Surf School.
You can also stay updated by following us on our social media sites: Facebook, Twitter & Instagram.
Tell us a little about the upcoming fundraiser.
Chill NYC is now engaging in local fundraising to build self-sustainability and develop our year-round programs. "Hot Days, Chill Nights" will be a fun evening of food, music & drinks to Chill and celebrate summer, surfing, snowboarding and kids at Paper Box in Williamsburg. There will be drink specials, a backyard BBQ, and pop-up shops with local vendors OvRride, Skate Brooklyn, DESiGNERiCA and Good Wood NYC. Live music from Progress and Rocky and the Pressers, and DJ sets from Bo Twiggs and Ben Robey of Ninjasonik. We've got over 20 awesome silent auction items (you can bid online!) and a FREE GIFT for the first 50 attendees!
What has been the most rewarding aspect of working for Chill?
Our local fundraising will enable us to further develop our programs. This spring we should be launching our skateboarding program; down the road, we'd like to develop an alumni program "NYC Freestyle" to build ongoing youth leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, public speaking and creative skills…along with improving skills in board sports.
Thank you so much, Rachel for speaking with us. We wish we could be at the event but hopefully our donation of YORK SURF jewelry will bring in some major bucks in the silent auction. Hope you can all make it out for the fundraiser. Details below.

Hockey and Hebrews is a match made for some
January 18, 2017, 7:55 pm 0 Edit
Steve Berman takes his hockey gear and stick wherever he travels. Here, he gets ready to play in Israel. Photo courtesy of Steve Berman
Jews and hockey isn't the most common of pairings, but the benefits of exercise, teamwork and camaraderie of the sport has many middle-aged Pittsburgh Jews hooked.
Saul Markowitz is one. Even though he only started skating at 30, the self-described "PR guy" has been on the ice for nearly 25 years. And as Markowitz puts it, he has no signs of letting up in the near future.
"My goal is to play until I am at least 70."
"I've played for 48 years," noted Markowitz's friend, Bob Gold of Squirrel Hill, who was introduced to the game as a 6-year-old at St. Edmund's Academy. "They had a hockey rink at the school."
The origins are not too different for Ralph Roskies, originally of Montreal, who also adopted the sport as a child.
"I started when I was 6 and played until I was 66," he said.
After Roskies relocated to Pittsburgh decades ago, fellow Canadian Steven Fienberg introduced Roskies to the Senior League in Mt. Lebanon.
"By the time I stopped I was by far the oldest guy in the league," said Roskies.
Fienberg surpassed Roskies' record by playing until he was 70.
More than a decade ago, Steve Berman, an engineer and Squirrel Hill native, took to hockey after discovering that "running on treadmills for cardiac exercise proved frustratingly boring."
Since then the game has become an integral part of Berman's life. He regularly plays in four leagues around the area and participates in both Tuesday and Thursday night pickup games.
That sort of commitment "takes a certain type of character," said Gold. The people who play hockey "tend to practice or skate early in the morning or late at night; you have to really want to play hockey to get up early or stay up late."
But even so, "the sport has easy entry for Jewish people," noted Berman. "It's a friendly and open and receptive community of adult players. Beginners are always welcome; even if you weren't a high school or college player you can still find a place where people will let you play."
That doesn't lessen the fear involved, said Markowitz, who remembers his mother telling him before each game, "Call me afterward, I want to make sure you didn't get hurt."
Fretting over injuries or even the chance of damage caused Roskies to finally tie up his skates.
"I started getting worried about getting hurt, and if you are worried about getting hurt you should get out of the game," remarked the septuagenarian.
"For us, it's just kind of fun to be out there and play," said Markowitz.
And being Jewish only adds to the excitement, he added.
Bob Gold "[and I], we're like the two Jews in the locker room, we call ourselves 'the deli line.' We took one guy who wasn't Jewish and called him 'Aaron.'"
But such religious recognition does not always occur.
"When I'm wearing a helmet nobody knows I'm Jewish. It's not like I'm wearing a Magen David," remarked Oren Levy.
Though a few years newer to the game than his fellow landsmen, Levy is no duster. As a child the native Hebrew speaker played floor hockey and eventually roller hockey in Highland Park, N.J., "on the tennis courts on North 8th Avenue."
It was only after arriving in Squirrel Hill in 2013 that he gravitated to ice, Levy explained.
The transition was relatively easy, as "roller and ice hockey are really similar," he said.
For so many Jewish players, what keeps them going is that "it's just a bunch of really great, really nice people, who are doing our thing, and for one hour we truly believe we can play this game really well," said Markowitz.
For Levy, the draw to hockey is a bit different.
"We're breaking stereotypes," he said. "People assume we are 5-feet-4, sitting behind desks with curly hair wearing glasses, but this is a new generation of Jews."

Solar flux and sunspot numbers declined over the past week. Average solar flux for the past seven days was nearly 35 points lower than the previous seven. The decline is expected to continue through the weekend, with predicted solar flux for Thursday through Saturday of 140, 135 and 130. Solar flux should rise again around next Wednesday, and hit 150 around January 8, rising about 10 points per day and then peaking around 210 on January 14 or 15.
Planetary A index for Thursday through Saturday is predicted at 10, 15 and 25, so the New Year should yield some geomagnetic disturbances. The geomagnetic field is expected to be at unsettled to minor storm levels through Monday due to recurrent coronal hole effects. This should quiet down again around January 5.
WN6K wrote last week about his web site devoted to graphs of solar and geomagnetic indices at http://idt.net/~wngk19/index.html.
Also check an MSNBC story about geomagnetic storms in the new year at http://www.msnbc.com/news/251370.asp. NASA has an article at http://www.spacescience.com/newhome/headlines/ast29dec99_1.htm which talks about energy from solar wind squeezing the earth's magnetosphere.
N0ZOD, who is Section Emergency Coordinator for Minnesota ARES wrote this week to ask about propagation to the Far East on Friday night, when some US hams will be trying to contact hams in the area which first experiences the year 2000. Path projections for this week will concentrate on reaching the Far East from the United States on Friday.
Sunspot numbers for December 23 through 29 were 112, 149, 141, 125, 109, 77 and 123 with a mean of 119.4. 10.7 cm flux was 198.4, 182.4, 178.4, 177, 161.7, 150.4 and 143.7, with a mean of 170.3, and estimated planetary A indices were 5, 10, 10, 2, 6, 7 and 7, with a mean of 6.7.

The online auction business has spawned a cottage industry of so-called sniping services that allow users to muscle in at the last second with winning bids. By Joanna Glasner.
For novice eBay bidders, it is a common disappointment.
They submit the highest offer in the last few minutes of bidding, confident in the likelihood of winning.
Then suddenly, with seconds to go, someone else swoops in with an even higher offer. Before the novice has time to retaliate, the auction closes.
In eBay jargon, the second-to-last bidder has been hit by a sniper.
"It's a phenomenon that can only exist in the online auction world," said David Steiner, president of AuctionBytes and a buyer and seller of collectibles on eBay. Steiner said it's not uncommon to see moderately priced items surge several hundred dollars in the final seconds of bidding.
Although sniping has existed in one form or another almost since the inception of eBay, Steiner said the practice has grown increasingly prevalent of late, fueled by experienced auction buyers competing for bargains.
The popularity of sniping has in turn created a cottage industry of sniper services offering tools for auction addicts. Offerings range from downloadable software to hosted services that charge a fee for placing a bid.
"Now everyone snipes," said Tom Campbell, president of eSnipe, a hosted service that charges users 1 percent of each winning bid, up to $10. "If you put something up for sale, it just sits there until a few minutes before the end of the auction."
Campbell should know. He purchased eSnipe on eBay in 1999 by sniping.
Other services simply offer software that automatically places last-minute bids, up to a predetermined maximum. One advantage of using sniping software is that it's generally cheaper for active bidders than using hosted services, said Dan Hite, developer of a sniping program called Auction Sentry that sells for $10.
Companies that sell hosted sniper services say a disadvantage of do-it-yourself sniping software is that users have to monitor the auction themselves. With a hosted service, bidders can simply submit their maximum acceptable bid, and let the company handle the rest.
Of course, for true auction addicts, being there at the last minute is part of the thrill.
"It really is an actual rush," said Marcia Collier, author of EBay for Dummies and a habitual sniper.
"A lot of people who don't snipe feel it's unfair," she said, recalling a nasty e-mail from a rival bidder she sniped out of a book. "But it happens to be my absolute favorite way to win at auctions."
Collier says she often prefers to enter her last-second bids manually, without the help of any professional sniping applications. It may not be the most efficient method, but it makes the auction exciting.
The fact that many of its most dedicated fans are snipers isn't lost on eBay. Nor is the fact that many other buyers and sellers wish they would go away -- a viewpoint expressed frequently on eBay message boards.
The auction site has taken a decidedly neutral stance on the matter.
"We know it's there," said eBay spokesman Kevin Pursglove. "It's a tool that many of our users like, and it's a tool that frustrates many of our users. But it's up to our users whether or not they want to use a sniping tool."
EBay does not endorse any particular sniping application. The auction site also leaves it up to sniping companies to keep track of any changes to its website that may affect their services.
ESnipe's Campbell estimates that between 2 percent and 5 percent of eBay auctions involve snipers. Mark Schwartz, CEO of Auctiva, which runs a service called Auction Sniper, estimates that the figure is closer to 5 percent.
Both say that sniping is almost exclusively an eBay phenomenon, aided by the site's large user base and fixed time limits on auctions. For sellers, Schwartz said, the jury is still out on how the preference for last-second bidding affects their bottom line.
On the one hand, sniping tools bring bidders who might not otherwise participate in an auction. On the other hand, if all bidders wait till the last minute, sellers get the impression early on that no one is interested in their wares.
Further complicating matters are services that allow snipers to bid for the same item at multiple auctions. Once the sniper wins one auction, that bidder's outstanding bids at other auctions are automatically canceled.
For high-volume sellers, Steiner said, the best tactic is simply to accept that snipers are an inevitable part of doing business.
After all, it's only logical that the site that made selling vintage kitsch online a national pastime would spawn another cottage industry for aggressive buyers.
"I welcome snipers because it's better than the alternative, which is having no bidders," Steiner said.

Q: Download spark-submit without all the Spark framework to make lite Docker image Most of the Docker image that embed Apache Spark have the whole spark archive in it.
Also most of the time, we submit the spark application on kubernetes, hence the spark job is running on other Docker container.
As such, I am wondering, in order to make the Docker image smaller, how to embed spark-submit feature?

A: That's a great question! I had a look (for the latest one on the Downloads page: 3.3.1) and found the following:
Looking at the contents of $SPARK_HOME/bin/spark-submit, you can see the following line:
exec "${SPARK_HOME}"/bin/spark-class org.apache.spark.deploy.SparkSubmit "$@"

Ok, so it looks like the $SPARK_HOME/bin/spark-submit script calls the $SPARK_HOME/bin/spark-class script. Let's have a look at that one.
Similar to spark-submit, spark-class calls the load-spark-env.sh script like so:
. "${SPARK_HOME}"/bin/load-spark-env.sh

This load-spark-env.sh script calls other scripts of its own as well. But there is also a bit about Spark jars in spark-class:
# Find Spark jars.
if [ -d "${SPARK_HOME}/jars" ]; then
  SPARK_JARS_DIR="${SPARK_HOME}/jars"
else
  SPARK_JARS_DIR="${SPARK_HOME}/assembly/target/scala-$SPARK_SCALA_VERSION/jars"
fi

if [ ! -d "$SPARK_JARS_DIR" ] && [ -z "$SPARK_TESTING$SPARK_SQL_TESTING" ]; then
  echo "Failed to find Spark jars directory ($SPARK_JARS_DIR)." 1>&2
  echo "You need to build Spark with the target \"package\" before running this program." 1>&2
  exit 1
else
  LAUNCH_CLASSPATH="$SPARK_JARS_DIR/*"
fi

# Add the launcher build dir to the classpath if requested.
if [ -n "$SPARK_PREPEND_CLASSES" ]; then
  LAUNCH_CLASSPATH="${SPARK_HOME}/launcher/target/scala-$SPARK_SCALA_VERSION/classes:$LAUNCH_CLASSPATH"
fi

So as you can see, it is referencing the spark jars directory (288MB of the total 324MB for Spark 3.3.1) and putting that on the launch classpath. Now, it's very possible that not all of those jars are needed in the case of submitting an application on kubernetes. But at least you need some kind of library to translate a spark application to some kubernetes configuration that your Kubernetes API server can understand.
So my conclusion from this bit is:

*

*We can quite easily follow which files are exactly needed. In first instance, I would say anything in $SPARK_HOME/bin and  $SPARK_HOME/conf. But that is no issue since they are all very small scripts/conf files.

*Some of those scripts though, are putting the jars directory in your classpath for the final java command.

*

*Maybe they don't need all the jars, but they will need some kind of library to connect to the Kubernetes API server. So I would expect some jar to be needed there. I see there is a jar called kubernetes-model-core-5.12.2.jar. Maybe this one?

*Since most of the size of this $SPARK_HOME folder comes from those jars, you can try to delete some jars and run your spark-submit jobs to see what happens. I would think that, amongst others, jars like commons-math3-3.6.1.jar or spark-mllib_2.12-3.3.1.jar would not be necessary for a simple spark-submit to a Kubernetes API Server.

(All those specific jars just come from that one Spark version I talked about in the start of this post)
Really interesting question, I hope this helps you a bit! Just try deleting some jars, run your spark-submit and see what happens!

'Amazing Race' winner hosts Philadelphia Mr. Gay
'Amazing Race' winner hosts Philadelphia Mr. Gay
By Bruce Yelk
Last year, celebrity outings (without negative fallout) were all the rage. The community openly welcomed actor Neil Patrick Harris and Lance Bass of *NSYNC. Bass' boyfriend, Reichen Lehmkuhl, also had a big year, noted by the release of his autobiography of his military service, "Here's What We'll Say."
Lehmkuhl gained national recognition when he and his former partner Chip Arndt won the fourth season of the CBS reality show "The Amazing Race." Since that time, Lehmkuhl's star has continued in the media — he has appeared on several TV shows including his own "The Reichen Show" on Q Television Network.
Lending his mug and wit to the Mr. Gay competition, Lehmkuhl will host the region's first sanctioned contest at the historic Mask and Wig Club, 310 S. Quince St. The event, which serves as the local preliminary for the 2007 North American Mr. Gay contest in Los Angeles, will be held March 10 during "Reserved," a local GLBT event.
PGN talke with Lemkuhl about his upcoming trip to Philadelphia, his goals for the future and the challenges of being in the spotlight.
PGN: You will be hosting the Mr. Gay competition in March. Have you ever been to Philadelphia before?
RL: Yes. I actually have been to Philly on business, but I have never done an event appearance or book signing. I'm very excited.
PGN: You had a really big year in 2006 — your book was released, your relationship with Lance Bass was very public and you were a favorite topic of conversation for gossip bloggers. Because you are very visible and openly gay, do you consider yourself a spokesperson or role model for the gay community?
RL: Well, I have never woken up and said I am the spokesperson for the gay community. However, I am really proud when young people come up to me and tell me that I am. I am in no way perfect, but I am extremely flattered when people see me that way.
PGN: I know you are involved in other businesses in addition to acting and writing. Can you tell me about your other ventures?
RL: Yes, I am a small-business venture capitalist. I have run several businesses in my life. Besides financial capital, I've run a private jet charter brokerage that I owned years ago. I really focus my life these days on entertainment, writing the book and having that published. I even take voice lessons.
PGN: What are your big projects for 2007?
RL: My biggest personal projects in 2007 are going to be my small-business venture capital. That is on the very private side. On the public side, I am writing another book. It will be the sequel to the book that is out right now. It will cover my five years on active duty as an Air Force officer, the homophobia and the gay experiences that I have had during that time from being a lieutenant to being a captain in the Air Force.
PGN: Will it only cover that period or will it take us up to the present day?
RL: I haven't decided how far it is going to go right now. The outline only takes me to getting out of the Air Force, which, of course, is pre-"The Amazing Race" — when really my life changed dramatically.
PGN: Speaking of "The Amazing Race" and reality TV, do you think it is here to stay?
RL: Yeah, I think reality TV it is morphing every single television season and it is morphing into what people want to see. I don't think it is going away at all.
PGN: Blogging is a very interesting evolution in new media. You certainly are covered a lot by gossip bloggers. What are your thoughts on that?
RL: I think it is also not going to go away. I think the blogs that focus around gossip are definitely the most popular right now and I think we all love gossip, including myself. I just have to say there is a right and wrong way that gossip is done. When it is focused on an individual and is completely made up from scratch, just to have a story so that there is something to read, I disagree with that. And I disagree with that from the bottom of my heart because it has happened to me.
PGN: How do you think celebrities are going to combat that in the future? How do you think they get their message out?
RL: By taking it to court. It doesn't matter if you are a public figure or not, you can't tell lies about someone. You just can't. That's how it will be combated, if we take this up and take it to court. It really is a shame that we have to go to these lengths. I refuse to be disrespected and to be reduced to be with someone for a career or money reasons. I have always supported myself. I come from nothing and because of that I have supported myself very, very well. I have never had a reason to be with anyone for any other reason than because I like them. And when specific lies are made up to go against that truth, it personally upsets me. And I am not going to stand for it any more and I don't think anyone should.
PGN: Why do you think, because your relationship was so public and Lance was pushed out there? What do you think of the implications of outing people online?
RL: You know when we put ourselves in the public eye, we run the risk of having our personal lives thrown out there. And a leak always happens from within, and always happens from people who are very close to you and you think you can trust, but you really can't. And even after it all happens you still don't know who did it, and who leaked the information. Which makes it very difficult. However, it is still a tough situation for the person who is outed. We have to consider, I have to consider, when I came out of the closet, I did it on my own terms and I did it when I wanted to, and to whom I wanted to come out. Some people don't get that chance. They are outed on the Internet before they even get a chance to explain to their families or friends how they feel about their homosexuality. It is devastating to those people! It is a very tough situation.
PGN: With all the rumors about your relationship with Lance, are you still together?
RL: Yes, of course.
PGN: Will he be coming to Philadelphia with you?
RL: If he does it will not be something we talk about or advertise. We have a strong idea that we both agree on — to keep our work lives separate. We love to keep our careers separate and we love to keep our relationship together. So, if he does come it will just be happenstance and nothing to do with my appearance, but something we choose to do to strengthen our relationship.

I have seen a few craft projects online that involve layering with a single color (mostly on canvas), and I thought that would be the perfect technique to try with this card. The cloud and sunshine shapes are from the Silhouette Design Store, and the sentiment is from a retired Stampin Up set called, "Friendly Phrases". I don't see it on the Stampin up website anymore, but there are a few people who still sell it online. And what could possibly make this card any cuter more than 2 mini staples?! Nothing!

One of my favorite sentiment stamp sets is Pretty Phrases by Paper Smooches, which I used for this thank you card. If you haven't noticed by now, I tend to make cards that are more simple than busy. This is an example of how less is more…you don't need to add tons and tons of layers and different papers to achieve a sharp looking card. For the flowers I cut out two different sized ones with my Silhouette (although you could use any die cut machine or even cut them out free hand if you prefer), and added a button to top it off. My white ink is on it's way out, so I ended up writing over the stamped sentiment with a white gel pen, but with fresh white ink it would look sharp right away.

I loved the paper/color combination from the last card that I also made a birthday card with it as well. I found a simple bunting cut file from Silhouette, poked holes in the top to thread some baker's twine through, and used dimensional foam tabs to raise them up. I used the Happy Birthday stamp from Lawn Fawn's So Much to Say set, but there are so many other different stamps and/or phrases that could be used, making this another versatile card!

You are required to possess a valid federal Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permit with a Canadian Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamp to hunt migratory birds in Canada. This permit and stamp are valid in all provinces and territories. Most provinces and territories have additional licence requirements for hunting migratory birds and/or to carry firearms. To know what you require, and if there are further restrictions for hunting migratory birds, please verify the applicable regulations for the province/territory where you will be hunting. Note that all required permits and licences must be in your possession while you are hunting.
The Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permit is now available online on the Environment and Climate Change Canada website. Purchase and print your permit from the comfort of home.
Note that south of the French and Mattawa rivers, Sunday gun hunting is permitted by provincial regulations in some municipalities, but not all. Season dates for Canada Geese and Cackling Geese in the Southern District may differ between municipalities where Sunday gun hunting is permitted and those where it is not. Hunters should consult the provincial regulations for information about Wildlife Management Unit boundaries and a list of municipalities where Sunday gun hunting is permitted.
The hunting provisions of the Migratory Birds Regulations are reviewed by Environment and Climate Change Canada, with input from the provinces and territories, as well as a range of other interested stakeholders. Environment and Climate Change Canada has developed a consultation process for establishing hunting regulations for migratory birds, and publishes the Migratory Birds Regulatory Report Series that can be found on the Environment and Climate Change Canada website.
In June 2017, the Environmental Violations Administrative Monetary Penalties Regulations came into force and administrative monetary penalties (AMPs) are now available to game officers to enforce designated violations of the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994 (MBCA) and its associated regulations. In addition, amendments to the fine regime and sentencing provisions of the MBCA and the regulations necessary to complete the fine regime, the Designation of Regulatory Provisions for the Purposes of Enforcement (Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994) Regulations, came into force on July 12, 2017. The amendments aim to ensure that court-imposed fines more accurately reflect the seriousness of environmental offenses. The new fine regime will be applied by courts following a conviction pursuant to the MBCA or its associated regulations. Under the new fine regime, when designated offenses are contravened, the offender upon conviction, is subject to minimum and higher maximum fines. For more information on AMPs and the new fine regime, please visit the Environmental Enforcement Act.
As per subsections 15.1(1) and 15.1(2) of the Migratory Birds Regulations, in Ontario, non-toxic shot must be used to hunt all migratory game birds, except for woodcock. Non-toxic shot must also be used to hunt Mourning Dove. Within National Wildlife Areas, the possession of lead shot is prohibited for all hunting, including the hunting of migratory birds and upland game birds. Hunters should consult provincial or territorial regulations for additional restrictions. For those birds still hunted with lead shot, remove the lead shot before cooking to reduce your exposure to contaminants. As well, remove the skin and fat from fish-eating birds before cooking them.
Barrow's Goldeneye is listed in the Species at Risk Act as a species of special concern, and the bag and possession limit of 1 remains in place.
Waterfowler Heritage Days provide young hunters who are minors (under 18 years of age) with the opportunity to practise hunting and outdoor skills, learn about wildlife conservation, and reinforce safety training in a structured, supervised environment. Licensed adult hunters who serve as mentors have an opportunity to pass on their considerable skills and knowledge by offering guidance and advice to younger hunters. The following rules are in effect:
to participate, young hunters do not require the federal Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permit;
young participants must comply with all existing safety and licensing requirements found in the Firearms Act and provincial hunting regulations;
participants must be accompanied by a licensed mentor (who is not a minor);
mentors may not hunt or carry a firearm, and may accompany no more than one young hunter;
only young hunters may hunt when Waterfowler Heritage Days fall outside of the regular open seasons; and
daily bag limits are outlined in the Bag and Possession Limits table below, and include footnotes a, e and f.

Q: Visual Studio Premier 2013 Update 3: Only hits break points the first time I just upgraded to from Visual Studio 2013 Premier Update 1 to Visual Studio 2013 Premier Update 3.  Everything seemed fine until I tried to debug a REST service using WizTools REST Client (which is an awesome tool, btw).  The first time I hit the service endpoint, the break point hits and I can step through and debug just fine.  No problem.  But then, if I try again, the break point is never hit.  The service runs and the resulting JSON appears in the results window of the WizTool client, but, no break point, so I can't debug.
I've done this a million times with VS 2008, 2010, and 2013 update 1.  It's always stopped at the break points no matter how many times I hit the REST service endpoint.  The ONLY thing that's changed here is that I upgraded to Update 3.  No config changes, no solution changes, no nothing, except the upgrade to Upgrade 3.
I've searched here and in Google for a similar problem, and all I found was this:
Why does Visual Studio not hit breakpoint until second debug session?
He seems to be having the opposite problem:  It doesn't hit the first time, but does every other.  And, he's debugging unit tests and I'm debugging REST service end points (don't know if that matters).
Any ideas?

A: Found a solution, for anyone who happens to come across this later.  For me, the answer was going to Debug > Attach To Process > select the process javaw.exe, which has the title of WizTools.org RestClient.  That's the tool I am using to test these REST services.  Never had to do this before, and it's possible there is a better solution - in fact I sure hope there is.


The Windows 10 October 2018 Update might be a mess, but that's not deterring Microsoft from putting in the hours on the next big feature update -- codenamed 19H1 -- due out next spring.
The latest release to Insiders on the Fast ring is Build 18290, and it comes with a number of improvements and additions.
The most noticeable change is to the Start menu which gets a touch of Fluent design, making it look more attractive. Icons have also been added to the power and user menus. The Search and Cortana areas have been given a bit of a cleanup as well.
Also new in this build is an option in the Date & Time Settings that will let you manually synchronize your clock with the time server. If you suspect your PC clock might be showing the wrong time, this will let you check and correct the problem if you're right.
You can now also check to see which app is using your microphone (just hover over the microphone icon to see), and when your PC has an update that requires a reboot, you'll now be informed via an orange Windows Update indicator in the system tray.
Made some updates to the taskbar to reduce the number of times you may see the icons redraw. Most noticeably when interacting with the recycle bin, although in other scenarios as well.
Fixed an issue resulting in languages showing an unexpected "Unavailable input method" in their list of keyboards in Settings if you added the language via Language Settings in recent flights.
The Japanese Microsoft IME introduced with Build 18272 will be returning to the one that shipped with the October 2018 Update.
Added support for LEDBAT in uploads to Delivery Optimization peers on the same LAN (behind the same NAT). Currently LEDBAT is only used by Delivery Optimization in uploads to Group or Internet peers. This feature should prevent congestion on the local network and allow peer-to-peer upload traffic to back off instantly when the network is utilized for higher priority traffic.
Due to a merge conflict, the settings for enabling/disabling Dynamic Lock are missing from Sign-in Settings. Microsoft has a fix, which will flight soon.
Settings crashes when clicking on the "View storage usage on other drives" option under System > Storage.
Insiders may see green screens with error System Service Exception in win32kbase.sys when interacting with certain games and apps. A fix will flight in an upcoming build.

Follow the fledglings: Volunteers help others follow flight of eagles
BARBARA SALTER STAFF WRITER
PALM COAST — It's nesting season for the bald eagles in Flagler County.
More specifically, it's the time of the year when baby eagles are fledging — trying out their wings. And this is the time of the year that really makes Gretchen Butler nervous.
Butler is a citizen scientist-volunteer for the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey's EagleWatch program. The group monitors known bald eagle nests in Florida during the nesting season, from Oct. 1 through May 15.
Butler monitors an eagle nest in one of Flagler County's gated communities. A few weeks ago, Jack, one of two baby eagles in the nest, slipped out of the nest and into the hammock below.
"Once an eagle falls out of the nest, the parents can't help it back in," Butler said. "They might bring it food, but there's nothing more they can do."
Butler was concerned that a predator might attack the helpless eaglet.
"At this young age, an eagle on the ground is easy prey — meals on wings," she said.
After two days on the ground, Jack figured out how to get back to his nest.
"Hunger is what often drives them back," said Butler. "Food is a powerful motivator. He went back so his parents could feed him."
So Butler and her eagle watch partner, Glenn Goulding, could breathe easier.
But that was short-lived.
Earlier this week, Lo, the other fledgling, flew from the nest at dusk and landed in the top of a tree while Butler was watching.
"She soon flew back to the nest, hit hard and fell to the ground," Butler said. "I was there and it was scary, as I couldn't find her on the ground or stuck in all the hammock she could have been hung up in.
"All I found was a barred owl looking down at me. Yikes! It got dark and I had to leave not knowing if she survived the approximately 80-foot fall, but she flew back to the nest tree quite early the next morning," she said with a sigh of relief.
According to Butler, 40 percent of all fledgling eagles do not make successful fledge flights. She's got her fingers crossed that both Lo and Jack, the eaglets she's monitoring, will stay out of harm's way until they can fly well enough to leave the nest, which should be in mid-April.
'Tornado in a tree'
Meanwhile, across town at Princess Place Preserve, Joe and Judie Dziak are keeping close watch on what is reported to be the second largest bald eagle nest in the state. The nest is between 33 and 35 years old and the Dziaks have been monitoring it for 16 years. It's 15 feet tall, between 10 and 12 feet across and is estimated to weigh about 2,500 pounds.
"It looks like a tornado in a tree," said Judie Dziak.
The nest is in a heavily wooded area just off Loop Road in the Preserve and is visible with the naked eye, but high-powered scopes are needed to monitor the activity within the nest. Every Sunday during nesting season, the Dziaks conduct an informal eagle forum directly across from the nest. They set up several viewing scopes from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. and invite folks to get a closer look at the nesting eagles.
"Now is an especially good time," said Joe Dziak. "The babies are ravenous. They have a voracious appetite and the parents are constantly bringing them food. There's a lot of activity going on."
Two babies were born at the end of January, but the Dziaks have seen only one for the past few weeks. Unlike the location of the nest Butler is monitoring, the area around and under the Princess Place nest is inaccessible, so they have no clue what might have happened to the other eaglet.
The Diziaks are also part of the EagleWatch program. In addition to monitoring the nests and reporting back to the Audubon Bird's of Prey Center, one of the objectives of the program is to educate the public about bald eagles, one of the largest birds in North America and the only eagle unique to this country. Florida has one of the largest bald eagle populations in the lower 48 states.
"As far as we know, there are 12 identified eagle nests in Flagler County but anecdotal information shows that there are at least three more not verified," said Joe Dziak.
People have reported seeing eagles in heavily wooded areas of the county that don't have identified nests, but the nests may be hidden or otherwise inaccessible.
The Dziaks love to talk to people about bald eagles in general and specifically the ones at Princess Place Preserve.
"One of the things I enjoy most is the response from the public. We love to hear that sharp intake of breath when they see an eagle for the first time," said Judie Dziak. "They're so enthusiastic and personalize the experience. They say 'These are our eagles.' Besides, it's awe inspiring to see them soaring in and out of the nest, even if you're not into birdwatching."

WHERE: Princess Place Preserve, 2500 Princess Place Road, just off Old Kings Road North, Palm Coast
SPECIAL TODAY: Biodiversity Day at Princess Place Preserve; eagle tours with tractor ride at 9 and 10:45 a.m.
SUNDAYS: The eagles' nest is on Loop Road. Follow the signs posted in the park; 10 a.m. until 1 p.m.
COST: Free All About Eagles
Bald eagles were removed from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Endangered Species list in 2007 but are still protected by federal laws. Following are some fast facts about eagles.
- They weigh about 4 ounces at birth. Within 12 weeks, they're the same size (12 to 15 pounds) as their parents.
- Build the largest nests of any bird in North America.
- Lay between one and three eggs. Each egg is about 4 inches long. The gestation period is 35 days and both parents sit on the eggs.
- Females are larger than males
- Have a wing span of up to 8 feet and approximately 7,000 feathers.
- Reach sexual maturity and achieve their full colors at approximately five years. Are monogamous. Once paired, they stay together until one dies.
- Return to the same nest every year.
- Prefer to eat fish — and things that eat fish. They also eat carrion.
- Mortality rate is about 50 percent the first year.
- Man is the bald eagle's biggest predator. Primary causes of death include gunshots; collisions with cars, electrical wires and cell towers; electrocution; poisoning and starvation.
- Became the national bird of the U.S. in 1782 after much discussion. (Benjamin Franklin wanted the wild turkey.)
